Appoint: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 11:40, 7 April 2024

God is no respecter of persons partly because a "Person" by definition is a "member" and salvation is an individual pursuit, not a collective one.
But the apostles did come into one "accord" and were a "body" and received an appointment of a kingdom but as doers of the word they became the provider of all social welfare for the early Christians through faith, hope, and charity and not by force, fear, and fealty like the world of Rome and the "modern Christians".
Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Jesus and the early Church appointed by the Christ advocated a Daily ministration that was dependent on Charity and a network of servant ministers working in groups of tens only and it was not like the system of Corban of the Pharisees and Rome.

Appoint

The word "appoint" appears in the Bible at least a 167 time. Of the Twenty-five times it appears in the New Testament eight times it is seen in the Gospels.

In the English language it can be defined^[1] as:

. To select or designate to fill an office or a position.
. To fix or set by authority or by mutual agreement.
. To furnish; equip.
. To direct the disposition of (property) to a person or persons in exercise of a power granted for this purpose by a preceding deed.

Tithemi

The Greek word tithemi^[2] appears 96 times but is only translated appoint 6 times which is first seen in Matthew 24:51.

The first place we see tithemi in the Greek text of the gospel it is found in the parable about putting a light under a bushel basket and is translated "put".

Matthew 5:15 "Neither do men light a candle, and put^[2] it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house."

This Greek word tithemi appears to be best associated with the English definition of "4. To direct the disposition of (property) to a person or persons in exercise of a power granted for this purpose by a preceding deed."

In Luke and Matthew ^[3] the word appoint^[2] is the result of the "preceding deed" of hypocrisy and unbelief after claiming to believe.

Peter speaks of a stumbling block and rock of offense being appointed because of the deeds of disobedience.

1 Peter 2:8 "And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, [even to them] which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed <5087>."

Suntasso

The next two times we see the word appoint is in Matthew 26:19 and Matthew 27:10 and translated from the word suntasso^[4] which only appears in Matthew.^[5]

Both times it is used by Christ to prescribe, appoint something.

Tasso

The next word we see in Matthew 28:16 is the similar word tasso^[6] commonly translated as appoint and ordain appearing only eight time in the Bible it also appears in other forms as we may observe.

In the Gospels we see tasso used twice:

Matthew 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed <5021 etaxato assigned> them.

Luke 7:8 For I also am a man set <5021 tassomenos appointed,> under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth [it].

It does also appear in Matthew in the form of tassomenos (I appoint) but is not translated:

Matthew 8:9 For I am a man under authority, (tassomenos) having soldiers under me: and I say to this [man], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth [it].

The first time the apostles seem to be sent to a mountain as if "to station" them and the second time in Luke it is describing soldiers "put in order" under authority.

In the Epistles it is translated appointed twice with its primary meaning being "to put in order, to place in a certain order, to arrange, to assign".

Acts 22:10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed <5021 tetaktai it has been appointed> for thee to do.

Acts 28:23 And when they had appointed <5021 Taxamenoi Having appointed> him a day, there came many to him into [his] lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and [out of] the prophets, from morning till evening.

Tasso is even translated ordained in both Acts 13 and Roman 13:

Acts 13:48 "And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained <5021 tetagmenoi appointed> to eternal life believed."

Romans 13:1 "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained <5021 tetagmenai having been instituted> of God."

It is translated determined in reference to appointing Paul and Barnabas to go to Jerusalem to get the answer from the apostles to a question that was in dispute:

Acts 15:2 "When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined <5021 etaxan they appointed> that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question."

Probably the strangest translation is when we are lead to the meaning of the word to be addicted. It certainly does not mean addicted as the word is commonly used today.

1 Corinthians 16:15 "I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and [that] they have addicted <5021 etaxan they have devoted> themselves to the ministry of the saints,)"

Diatasso

Luke uses four different words that are all translated appoint. In Luke 3:13, Luke 10:1, Luke 12:46, and Luke 22:29 each verse containing respectively diatasso^[7], anadeiknumi^[8], tithemi^[2] and diatithemai^[9].

The word has a meaning of commanding as we see in Matthew:

Matthew 11:1 "And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding <1299> his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities."

We see this idea of commanding also in Luke:

Luke 8:55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded <1299> to give her meat.

Luke 17:9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded <1299> him? I trow not.

Luke 17:10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded <1299> you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

And again in Acts this sense of commanding is prominent:

Acts 18:2 "And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded <1299> all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them."

Acts 20:13 "And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed <1299>, minding himself to go afoot."

Acts 23:31 "Then the soldiers, as it was commanded <1299> them, took Paul, and brought [him] by night to Antipatris."

Acts 24:23 "And he commanded <1299> a centurion to keep Paul, and to let [him] have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him."

Even though the word is translated appointed we can assume those verses also include the idea of commanding:

Luke 3:13 "And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed <1299 diatetagmenon having been appointed> you."

Acts 7:44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed <1299>, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.

1 Corinthians 7:17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I <1299> in all churches.

1 Corinthians 9:14 Even so hath <1299> the Lord ordained <1299> that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

1 Corinthians 11:34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order <1299> when I come.

1 Corinthians 16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order <1299> to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.

Galatians 3:19 Wherefore then [serveth] the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; [and it was] ordained <1299> by angels in the hand of a mediator.

Titus 1:5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed <1299> thee:

Histemi

In Acts 1:23 we see histemi^[10]) which appears 158 times but is translated stand 116 times out of 158 times

The list goes on including other words.

Jesus said he would appoint a kingdom, which was a form of government to His apostles and we see him do just that in Luke 22:29. He also ordered them to not be like the other governments of the world who exercise authority over the people to provide benefits.

About The Free Church Report

The Free Church Report presents a unique path for the modern Church according the nature of the first century Church by explaining the duty and purposes of that institution appointed by Christ. While Rome declined under runaway inflation, corrupt government, martial law, and endless threats of war the Christians found an alternative to the men who “called themselves benefactors but exercise authority one over the other”.

The early Christian knew rights and responsibilities were indivisible. They sought the right to be ruled by God by taking back their responsibility, through the service of “called out” ministers who lived in the world, but not of it. Their government benefits came through a divine network instituted in their hearts and minds by faith, hope, and charity under the perfect law of liberty as their Qorban and the unrighteous mammon failed the Roman society.

-of many other nations that depend upon benefactors who exercise
-authority one over the other. Since it is the will of God that all
-men be free souls under God, true Canon law, by its nature, sets men
-free by restoring both responsibility and rights to those who seek
-the Kingdom of God. If the Church, ordained by Christ, is the Body of
-Christ, then in a non civil sense the body or corpus of Christ is the
-incorporation of Christ, and therefore it is God who is its <I>ruling
