A key-word search index to the contents of this site, entries that begin with the letter I, section Iniquities to Italy. (The other section under I is I to Inheritors.)

(Previous section: I to Inheritors.) (Index overview.)

Iniquities, iniquity

• Etymology: The word "iniquity" comes from the Latin noun iniquitas which in certain contexts meant such things as "unfairness", "injustice", "unreasonableness".
• The 1769 KJ version New Testament uses "iniquity" as a translation of such Greek words as adikia, adikêma, anomia, paranomia and ponêria. Those words were the opposite of dikaiosunê which meant "justness" or "righteousness". Simplified, it can be said that iniquity is the same as unrighteousness or wickedness (the opposite of righteousness or justness). The essay eg08b.htm has more on this; look also under the headings "Righteous, righteousness", "Sin", "Covenants", "Commandments" and "Law".

Ink

• The New Covenant is written, "not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart" (2 Corinthians 3:3, VW). → ec08c.htm – ec13c.htm – ec11c.htm – ec06f.htm – ec01c.htm
• For more, see the other parts of this multi-page index, or use the search function.

INRI

• The acronym INRI comes from the Vulgate version which has in John 19:19 the words Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum, a translation of the NT Greek Iêsous ho Nazôraios ho basileus tôn Ioudaiôn, "Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews".
• The acronym INRI has been used in various Catholic (and similar) "illustrations". But, the text Pilate wrote did not consist of only four letters, of course. Luke 23:38 tells us that the text in question was written in three languages: Greek, Latin and Aramaic.
  • A note: The word hebraikos in the Greek text of Luke 23:38 does not refer to Hebrew but to Aramaic. The practical meaning of the word hebraikos in that verse is "the language of the Hebrews", which in those days was Aramaic.
• Look also under the headings "Crucify, crucified, crucifixion" and "Cross".
• For more, see the other parts of this multi-page index, or use the search function.

Inspiration, inspired, inspiring

• The word "inspiration" occurs only twice in the 1769 KJ version, in Job 32:8 and 2 Timothy 3:16. In the former case, it was used as a translation of the Hebrew noun neshamah ("breath", "blast", "spirit"); in the latter case it was used as a translation of the Greek adjective theopneustos, "God-breathed".
  • (The Latin noun inspiratio comes from the verb inspiro which literally meant "to blow upon", "to breath into".)
• Look also under the heading "Spirit", especially the subheading "The Holy Spirit".
• Is the King James bible somehow an "inspired translation", as some claim? → es03c.htm
• For more, see the other parts of this multi-page index, or use the search function.

Insurance, insurances

• Why is it that some churches and preachers (perhaps mostly American ones) do not want people to have insurances, or to go to doctors? There is no biblical basis for that, of course. The reason could be that many American churches practise tithing – and, that if people pay fees to a sick insurance and to doctors and clinics, that will lead to less money being given to the church or the preacher. (The essay eb10b.htm has more on the matter of "faith". The essay em01d.htm sorts out the "tithe question"; see also the heading "Silver and Gold" in this multi-page index.)
• For more, see the other parts of this multi-page index, or use the search function.

Integrity – Look under the heading "Righteous, righteousness"; see also the essay eg08b.htm.

Interlinear, interlinears

• Regarding "interlinear" bible-versions: Many people have been caused to think that interlinears would somehow be more "reliable" or "objective" than translations without the Hebrew and Greek texts. But, all those interlinears are, of course, a work of men, where the translators have included their bias and (through a shrewd choice of words) even church dogmas and so on. In other words: Interlinear bibles are just as biased and slanted as other translations. Regarding better tools and helps for bible study, see the pages es01d.htm and es02c.htm. For keys to a better understanding of the Bible, and ways to avoid certain common pitfalls in study, see the essay eg02c.htm.
• Look also under the heading "Translations", "Versions", "Greek", "Aramaic", "Hebrew" and "Language, languages, tongue, tongues".
• For more, see the other parts of this multi-page index, or use the search function.

Interpret, interpreted, interpreting, interpretation

• Regarding the interpretation of some specific matter or passage in the Bible – look up the matter or passage in question, in this alphabetic key-word index, or in the table of contents.
• Regarding the matter of "speaking in tongues" and "interpreting tongues", look under the heading "Glossolalia".
• Regarding languages in general, look under the headings "Language, languages, tongue, tongues", "Greek", "Aramaic", "Hebrew" and "Speak".
• For more, see the other parts of this multi-page index, or use the search function.

Ioannes, Ioannês, Ιοαννης

• True Ioannes: On John the Baptist and the apostle John, look under the heading "John".
• False Ioannes: On the Ioannes or Oannes, the fish-god and obvious origin of the Ichthys fish symbol. → (ew04d.htm) – Look also under the heading "Ichthus".
• For more, see the other parts of this multi-page index, or use the search function.

Iôta

• Iôta is what the letter "I" was called in the Greek language.
• In Matthew 5:18, the mention of "jot" (Greek, iôta) might be a translation for yod, the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet. Further, the word "tittle" in that verse was in the Greek text keraia which literally meant "little horn". That is perhaps a reference to the small phonetic marks connected to the Hebrew letters. Jesus was saying that all things prophesied and promised "in the Law" (that is, in the Old Testament) would come to pass, would be fulfilled, down to the smallest points. For more on Matthew 5:18, see the essays ec01c.htm, ec02d.htm, ec05c.htm, ec07d.htm and ec13c.htm.

Isaac (Hebrew Yitschaq) was the son of Abraham, the husband of Rebekah and the father of Jacob (Israel) and Esau (Edom).

• Isaac was a "child of promise" (see Genesis 17 and 21, and Galatians 4:28, and so on).
• The Promises were given Abraham and then to his son with the freewoman – that is, to Isaac (see Genesis 21:10-12, Galatians 4:22-30). The allegory with Isaac's freewoman mother Sarah and Ishmael's slavewoman mother Hagar. → ea02d.htm

Ishi (Hosea 2:16) → ey06b.htm

Israel (Hebrew Yisrael, in the LXX and NT Greek Israêl), Israelite, Israelites

• "Israel" = a name given to Jacob the son of Isaac, and afterwards a name for his descendants. (This is speaking of things on the physical level.)
  • Genesis 32:24-30 records how and why Jacob received the new name "Israel" (Hebrew Yisra'el). There are different views regarding the exact meaning or interpretation of that name. In Genesis chapters 32 through 49, the word Israel is used mostly of the man Israel (Jacob).
• "Children of Israel" – that phrase occurs almost 600 times in the Old Testament. It simply means "the descendants of Jacob". (Jacob's second name was Israel; see above.)
• "Israelites" = descendants of Jacob whose other name was Israel. (This is speaking about things in biblical times and in biblical context.)
  • After the reign of king Solomon the son of David, Israel was divided into two separate kingdoms. The ten northern tribes formed a kingdom called "Israel" and had Samaria as their capital. The southern tribes formed the kingdom of Judah and had Jerusalem as their capital.
    • The people of that southern kingdom, Judah (Hebrew Yehuwdah) came to be called "Jews", Hebrew Yehuwdiy.
    • Later, when the northern tribes had been taken into captivity (circa 2700 years ago), Samaria and its surroundings came to be occupied by other, non-Israelitish people. Thus, in New Testament times, the word "Samaritans" referred to non-Jews. (The Jews looked down on people of other nationalities.)

If you find any of the essays or treatises at this site interesting and helpful, please provide a copy to other people as well. But before printing or distributing anything, make sure to get the very latest version, exactly as it is, directly from this web site. In regard to printable copies of these pages, for example as PDF-format papers, booklets or brochures or so – there are no specially printer friendly variants (except some bible puzzles), nor is there a need for that – simply, when you print an essay, set the margins and the text size to fit your needs and the paper you use, in the program you use for viewing these pages, and then send it to your printer. (This varies in different browsers and word processing programs. In web browsers, for setting the margin size and headers and footers, look for "Print Format" in the File menu; to set the text size for print-out, look under "Preview" or "View" in the same menu.)

Important: You are welcome to quote the documents at this site – the Bible Pages – provided that you mention the source, by giving the full web address to the page in question. Please link to these essays and give copies to friends. However, you may not re-publish any part of the contents of this site, as a booklet, brochure or on the Internet or in other ways, without a permission from the author; he retains the copyright. For more on copying and quoting, and a few words about the author and his religious education and credentials, see the page purpose.htm.

The essays at this site are not in "bible lesson" or "bible study course" format, nor are they meant as on-line "bible study classes" of some kind. Even though this site gives ready answers to biblical questions of many kinds, its main goal is providing food for thought on a variety of biblical subjects, and challenging and encouraging people to get started with deep personal bible study and then continue with that. (Many religious organisations and denominations have their bible lessons and correspondence courses; they are ready-made "studies" which are shrewdly constructed and written in such a manner that they lead the reader to conclusions that fit the dogmas of the group in question.) A careful, closer study of the books of the Bible with proper tools will help a believer to gain better and deeper biblical understanding. In that way, one will find out more about what the Bible really says, means and teaches. One can then, with wisdom, use that knowledge as a guide for one's life, instead of accepting as "biblical truths" whatever commercial religion – churches and their ministers (preachers) – have taught and want people to believe.

A more thorough, bible-based study with care and with thought will, not only help one to learn more, but also show one how many a popular belief has no scriptural basis or support but is altogether false and not biblical at all. This applies, not only to prophecy and "end time" related things, but also to many other subjects where prevailing dogmas are often taken "for granted". For this reason, it is extremely important for believers to personally study the Writings, and to thoroughly analyse them down to the smaller details, in order to find out the real facts. For doing that, it is not necessary to know the Hebrew, Greek or Latin languages (even though learning their letters and alphabet can be a good idea); there are modern, advanced tools which can help one to study in an effective way – see the pages es01d.htm and es02c.htm for more on this. The essay eg02c.htm supplies a number of easy, elementary keys to acquiring a better and deeper understanding of the Bible, simply by consciously and methodically avoiding certain usual errors and pitfalls.

This site is non-denominational and non-sectarian. It is not connected to any church, sect or religious organisation or movement. This site looks at things from a biblical perspective, and not from a dogmatic one. It does not claim to be without error or to "know it all" or to have a perfect or complete explanation to all things – it consists of an ongoing bible study that has been made public, and as the study goes on, the contents of these pages are revised and also expanded, with new topics and themes being addressed. Readers are invited and welcome to write to the author with thoughts and comments, or to ask questions or to point out a mistake if they feel that they have found one. For more on this, see the page purpose.htm.
