To pray or not to pray, that is the question!
1 Thessalonians 5:17
King James Version (KJV)
“17 Pray (seek or ask) without ceasing.”
Paul taught to “seek” not “ask” the word?
In Hebrew the concept of “prayer” can mean more than one thing, yet we allow it to mean only one thing?
The result? a Hebrew /Aramaic message hijacked by a highly mystical Roman and Greek culture that Paul himself fought against, what we today fight against: Nothing less than a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Paraphrasing Peter, that many would twist his words to their own destruction”!
Paul’s remedy?
To “pray” (seek) in the language and culture it was written. Pause and qualify (“seek”) YH’s message in its original form (Hebrew lexicons, etc..), that we may hear and apply YH’s set-apart truth, not a man made one.
Salvation comes to us via an Ancient Paleo-Hebrew, Paleo-Hebrew, Hebrew and Aramaic message, the Word of Elohim, why change it!
Strong’s Hebrew Lexicon:
Pray: 1156 b`a’ beh-aw’ (Aramaic) or b ah (Aramaic) {beh-aw’}; corresponding to 1158; to seek or ask:–ask, desire, make (petition), pray, request, seek.
