 In March of 2019, Personhood Alabama made headlines worldwide when a judge granted their request to allow a father to represent an aborted child in a wrongful death suit against the clinic that had killed her. The suit was eventually dropped at the request of the father who faced an incredible amount of backlash from the community, but it remains the only case in American history to win the right for an aborted child to sue her killers.

 I originally thought this article would have a different title. When I decided to do an article on the word prevent, I fully expected my title to be something like “Prevent Is an Actual False Friend in the KJV.” I chose that as my working title because everyone that I have ever read or listened to regarding the word prevent in I Thessalonians 4:15 has claimed that it doesn’t have the same meaning that we ascribe to that word today. However, the more I studied this word and the underlying Greek word, the more convinced I became that prevent is the best word to use both here in I Thessalonians and in every other passage where it occurs in the KJV.  My wife recently led her class through a word study on worship, and I asked her to share her notes here for the benefit of my readers.
Many times, we look to our culture to answer questions about how we should interact with God. But every culture on the planet has sinful influences, so when we want to know more about God, we should look only to the Bible. A comment in my Sunday School class about the different ways people worship God led to this word study using the Masoretic and TR translated with KJV. |
