Re: 50 shekels of silver in today's value?

A shekel is a unit of weight equal to about 11 grams, so 50 shekels is about 550 grams or 19.4 ounces.

The spot price of silver has been dropping for the last year or so, but as of yesterday it was around $21.70 per ounce. That would place 50 shekels as being worth about $420.98

I will pray for Jesus to enter your heart and, while He keeps you free from sin, teach you the finer points of theomathematics, Ex-Viking.

1 shekel = 0.4 oz.
1 oz. silver = $20.70 (as of 11/12/2013)

50 silver shekels = 20 oz. silver = $414.

Scrounging together the meager resources of the entire internet I was able to confirm and reaffirm that a "shekel" had never been anything but a unit of weight in all places the term was used, until 1980. A clump of common silver the size of your hand will more than cover the rape fee. God did not say that we must find the most expensive silver possible. He did not specify what form the fifty shekels of silver must be in.

After all, it would be far too punitive to charge a man of modest means 50 million dollars for what could amount to a case of mistaken identity. What if the woman was adopted? She might have Shilohan features and even still be speaking their gobbledy-gook.

We should not spread misconceptions, lest rapists become entitled to vast reparations from their in-laws. This could sow discord among the brethren.

If God had told us to compensate the father by giving him a slave, would it then a requirement to go find him Bill "Bojangles" Robinson?

Re: 50 shekels of silver in today's value?

I see this is a "Baptist" church forum but all of this stuff I see on here is old testament nonsense, as if your some kind of Jews like Moses or something. Do none of you realize we are no longer bound to the old testament as Christians? The stuff like in Leviticus about not marking your body or masturbating is stuff we're no longer bound too. The NEW TESTAMENT is a NEW COVENANT with GOD through JESUS CHRIST and it's what your supposed to follow if it's not in the NEW TESTAMENT then frankly it doesn't matter. I'm not condoning marking your body or masturbation by the way it was just an example. Read your bible because this is what it says. Also as CHRISTIANS we are heirs to the promise of Abraham by GOD we are the "Chosen ones". It has nothing to do with being Jewish by blood or a Semite by blood. Zionism has deceived Christendom, Orthodox Judaism and the Isreali Government is the SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN as told by JESUS CHRIST himself. When the Pharisees where exiled in Babylon for 1000 years they picked up the Babylonian Mystery Religion that's also taught by the mystery schools around the world. They are not Jews like Moses was a Jew they do not believe in the ten commandments or the Old Testament like you think. They believe in the Talmud ABOVE ALL which is a direct affront to Jesus Christ and God Almighty.

Oh, really?

Then, why did Jesus say this:

Matthew 5:17-19
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Was that just for laughs? Do you have proof that He said on the April Fool's Day or something? Or is there a footnote that says that we're to obey all New Testament except Matthew 5:17-19?

The stuff like in Leviticus about not marking your body or masturbating is stuff we're no longer bound too.

Then how come it is repeated in the New Testament?

Romans 1:18-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

The NEW TESTAMENT is a NEW COVENANT with GOD through JESUS CHRIST and it's what your supposed to follow if it's not in the NEW TESTAMENT then frankly it doesn't matter.

I think I've just shown you that 1) what's in the Old Testament is also in the New Testament and 2) Jesus is very clear that we're supposed to follow all of the Bible, not just bits and pieces of it.

I'm not condoning marking your body or masturbation by the way it was just an example. Read your bible because this is what it says.

Also as CHRISTIANS we are heirs to the promise of Abraham by GOD we are the "Chosen ones".

Wait, I thought you said the Old Testament didn't count, so why are you citing it?

It has nothing to do with being Jewish by blood or a Semite by blood.

And who told you that it did?

Zionism has deceived Christendom, Orthodox Judaism and the Isreali Government is the SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN as told by JESUS CHRIST himself.

Book, chapter, verse, please!

When the Pharisees where exiled in Babylon for 1000 years they picked up the Babylonian Mystery Religion that's also taught by the mystery schools around the world. hey are not Jews like Moses was a Jew they do not believe in the ten commandments or the Old Testament like you think. They believe in the Talmud ABOVE ALL which is a direct affront to Jesus Christ and God Almighty.

This is very cute (albeit I cannot find support for any of that in the Holy Bible), but what the heck does it have in common with the topic of this thread -- or the earlier parts of your own post, for that matter?

<Edited Wall of Text Word Salad>

What does any of this have to do with the price of silver?

You sound like a Democrat - just like Roosevelt who confiscated gold from Americans to finance his socialist spending schemes through inflation (better known as theft). Such things are an abomination to the Lord.

Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.

Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.

But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the Lord thy God.

- Deuteronomy 25:13-16

I'm a libertarian, and I can't stand leftist progressive liberals they're not even liberals Thomas Jefferson was a liberal.
I never said NOT to follow the ten commandments, I said the things you guy's are talking about on here are nonsense.
Your on this forum talking about raping virgins and selling people because it's what in the OLD TESTAMENT...I'm sure Christ would be quite happy with that.

Who told me it has nothing to do with being a blood semite? The Bible did. Go read the passages before and after as well quite clear what's being said.
Galatians 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. I was quoting New testament, not Old Testament.

Also you guy's are like Nazi's on here giving me infractions and telling me not to be rude but I'm not, you sound like the democrats.

I'm busy but I'll get back to this more later.

Your right what does raping virgins have to do with the price of silver? I thought since you were all off topic I'd go on a rant about few things..one was the Jew's and Judaism deceiving all the world while using Christianity and spitting on Jesus. You guy's are better than the other political correct douche bag Christians I see who have some watered down Christianity though. Anyways again I'm busy right now.

How do I edit previous post? I would have just added this instead of making a new post.

Good for you, sweetie!

I never said NOT to follow the ten commandments,

Which are in the Old Testament. See the problem with your logic?

I said the things you guy's are talking about on here are nonsense.

Indeed.

Matthew 5:17-19
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Please note that this passage does not say "follow the 10 Commandments but disregard the remaining 600+." It says, follow all commandments.

So yes, Jesus clearly says that He will be happy if we follow all of the OT commandments.

Who told me it has nothing to do with being a blood semite? The Bible did. Go read the passages before and after as well quite clear what's being said.
Galatians 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. I was quoting New testament, not Old Testament.

And that passage refers to an Old Testament passage. Another proof that if your want to be a Christian then you cannot throw away the Old Testament and only follow the New Testament.

Also you guy's are like Nazi's on here giving me infractions and telling me not to be rude but I'm not, you sound like the democrats.

That was a weird mental shortcut, could you please explain the logic of your line of thought, because I do not follow it?

I'm busy but I'll get back to this more later.

I'll be here all week.

Let's not fight amongst ourselves, it's unproductive and doesn't look good to the people coming to this forum for facts, rational argument and Godly advice. And besides, the REAL enemy is the International Jew Conspiracy to control our financial system, which employs naive liberal Demoncrats as their mouthpieces and the Negro as their muscle.

Silver is down a bit this year

It always amazes me when postmodern snowflakes get some deconstructivist wind in their sails. If God's standard no longer applies why can't we just run around blaspheming and making idols and going to orgies then, tired but happy, roll up to Heaven and get in on the guest list?

Micah 2:1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.

Without God's standard remaining in force why would we need to appeal to Jesus for the sacrifice God requires? Rotten from birth, how could we ever bring sufficient a price for our own redemption? That price is paid in blood. God's standard is perfect and if it did not remain current no blood would be required and Jesus would be unnecessary. John explains it this way:

I John 2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.

That Word is Jesus through whom everything was created. He even created Heaven! And obviously, since He is God, the commandment we have from Him is not one that changes from person to person according to how they "identify" or from moment to moment according to how we feel. That is why John wrote:

I John 2:8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

In this thread the question of values has been raised and in a recent reply I'd intended to link back here as a source but was tired and forgot to do so which works out quite well because I can include the chart here. In different circumstances a person may have differing values, as determined by God, and He specifies the correct weight of metal for us in shekels of silver. Silver is a little heavier than copper but not as heavy as gold.

You see what happens? I went to all the trouble of looking up what a shekel was and the price of silver (which actually I do keep my eye on due to the question of "underinsurance" which arises occasionally) and making a chart directly from The Bible with my sources linked, after all I could have misunderstood, and this cretin turns up wanting to know what 1,000 shekels is? Obviously it's a thousand times one. shekel do they even flunk grade school?

Amen, Dear Sister Mitza, Amen!! I know exactly what you're going through. I had to ask that newcomer (and very kindly so, I might add) AT LEAST THREE TIMES to do a proper introduction on our Introduction Forum. I had no intention of hazarding an explanation about the shekels, though, and may the bless you for your patience, Dear.

A blessed day to you, Dear Sister Mitza,
