This session focuses on the need for word studies to understand the original meaning of biblical words, arguing against applying modern definitions to ancient texts. The discussion uses the story of the rich young ruler from Mark 10 to illustrate how "defrauding" is included in Jesus's list of commandments and is rooted in an idolatry of self. It also challenges the common perception of eternal life as a continuation of one's current, selfish existence.* The importance of studying the original Greek and Hebrew meanings of biblical words to avoid modern misinterpretations.* The Greek word for defraud, *aposto*, is a combination of two words that mean "to deprive" or "to wrong another of what belongs to him."* The act of defrauding is rooted in idolatry, which is a preoccupation with self.* The story of the rich young ruler in Mark 10 is used to show how Jesus confronts a wealthy man on the commandments, including "do not defraud."* The true goal of a believer is not to "get" eternal life but to live in Christ, who is eternal.The core takeaway is that the basis of defrauding is not just deception for money, but the deception used to gain power and to steal what another person has because you believe it will satisfy you, which is a form of idolatry.#Defrauding #BiblicalWordStudy #Mark10 #RichYoungRuler #Idolatry #ChristianTeaching #EternalLife #MichaelAndMaryDavisIn this teaching series we will be discussing the biblical idea of defrauding by taking a look at the examples that the Bible gives us of where this concept is used.In this teaching series we will be discussing the biblical idea of defrauding by taking a look at the examples that the Bible gives us of where this concept is used.
