Astro Physics Lesson from James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

  The following information is a batch of 4 block quotes relating to a unique  series of words in James 1:17.The science of astronomy had not yet  emerged when this was written. The movements of the sun, moon, planets, and stars had not been understood well enough to build a planetarium that could  simulate those movements. https://www.azscience.org/attractions/dorrance-planetarium/Imagine a gift coming down from the Father of Lights. Read on and you will know a little more about the four words translated  "nor shadow of  turning." 
16 (WuestNT) Stop being deceived, my brethren, beloved ones. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom there can be no variableness nor shadow which is cast by the motion of turning. In accordance with His deliberate purpose He brought us into being by means of the word of truth, resulting in our being a kind of first fruits of His creatures.[1]
The Complete Word Study Dictionary τροπή [See Stg: <G5157>] tropé; gen. tropés, fem. noun from trépō (n.f., see anatrépō <G396>), to turn. A turning, turning back as of the heavenly bodies in their courses (James 1:17; Sept.: Deut. 33:14; Job 38:33). [2]
Variation (parallagē). Old word from parallassō, to make things alternate, here only in N.T. In Aristeas in sense of alternate stones in pavements. Dio Cassius has parallaxis without reference to the modern astronomical parallax, though James here is comparing God (Father of the lights) to the sun (Malachi 4:2), which does have periodic variations. Shadow that is cast by turning (tropēs aposkiasma). Tropē is an old word for "turning" (from trepō to turn), here only in N.T. Aposkiasma is a late and rare word (aposkiasmos in Plutarch) from aposkiazō (apo, skia) a shade cast by one object on another. It is not clear what the precise metaphor is, whether the shadow thrown on the dial (aposkiazō in Plato) or the borrowed light of the moon lost to us as it goes behind the earth. In fact, the text is by no means certain, for Aleph B papyrus of fourth century actually read hē tropēs aposkiasmatos (the variation of the turning of the shadow). Ropes argues strongly for this reading, and rather convincingly. At any rate there is no such periodic variation in God like that we see in the heavenly bodies.[3]
TURNING trope (τροπή, 5157), used especially of the revolution of the heavenly orbs (akin to trepo, “to turn”), occurs in Jas. 1:17, “(neither shadow) that is cast by turning,” RV (KJV, “of turning”). For a more detailed treatment of the passage, see SHADOW, No. 2.¶[4]
In conclusion The Father of the lights gives every good and every perfect gift, and He has the attribute of being without variableness like the sun, moon, planets and stars, those lights we can observe from earth. This is a good thing, it is re-assuring. I found out about this when reading James chapter 1 out of WuestNT, which was more specific about it than most of the other translations I had read.

Contributions Welcome

The following request applies to any of the christian ministries that are currently getting visitors from my blog:

I am currently blogging: https://webmaster220.blogspot.com
I would like to place a banner on the right side of my home page that promotes your ministry
If I do that and it helps your ministry grow and expand do you have a suggestion as to what type of commission or contribution could be paid to my ministry. The reason I am saying that is there are a lot of ministries out there that are buying advertising space online and yours could be one of them for all I know. I have been an affiliate marketer for years on my blog but no commissions have ever been earned even though I am doing everything required to be done to earn the commissions. My blog readers are just not interested in spending any money on any of the goods or services discussed in my banner ads and text links. To reply, use the contact form below this paragraph Thanks, Rick Livermore - Webmaster220
