Matthew 14:21-36 The all in one boat fallacy and deception
1. All in the same boat
Some want everyone to be "
all in the same boat" as in "
all in the same vote" as if a majority vote makes something true. Are we "
better together"? Is there "
strength in numbers"? In terms of deciding what the Bible means, some people are
devoted to this idea and
the vote is very important to them.
In only three places in the
GNT (Greek New Testament) are three words repeated. The words "
holy holy holy" from Revelation form the basis of a hymn.
What song is from the three repeated words woe, woe, woe in Revelation?
Elmer Fudd best sings the song, Woe, woe, woe your boat.
2. 1 Kings 18:22,40 God votes
1 Kings 18:22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men. [kjv]
...
18:40 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there. [kjv]
Here is the "
vote" at Mount Carmel in the Bible. The story is in 1 Kings 18:20-40.
1: Elijah
450: False prophets of Baal (all killed)
3. 1 Kings 18:22
KJV: Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
Hebrew: ויאמר אליהו אל העם אני נותרתי נביא ליהוה לבדי ונביאי הבעל ארבע מאות וחמשים איש׃
Greek: και ειπεν ηλιου προς τον λαον εγω υπολελειμμαι προφητης του κυριου μονωτατος και οι προφηται του βααλ τετρακοσιοι και πεντηκοντα ανδρες και οι προφηται του αλσους τετρακοσιοι
4. 1 Kings 18:40
KJV: And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
Hebrew: ויאמר אליהו להם תפשו את נביאי הבעל איש אל ימלט מהם ויתפשום ויורדם אליהו אל נחל קישון וישחטם שם׃
Greek: και ειπεν ηλιου προς τον λαον συλλαβετε τους προφητας του βααλ μηθεις σωθητω εξ αυτων και συνελαβον αυτους και καταγει αυτους ηλιου εις τον χειμαρρουν κισων και εσφαξεν αυτους εκει
5. 1 Kings 18:27
1 Kings 18:27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. [kjv]
και εγενετο μεσημβρια και εμυκτηρισεν αυτους ηλιου ο θεσβιτης και ειπεν επικαλεισθε εν φωνη μεγαλη οτι θεος εστιν οτι αδολεσχια αυτω εστιν και αμα μηποτε χρηματιζει αυτος η μηποτε καθευδει αυτος και εξαναστησεται [lxx]
6. 1 Kings 18:27
KJV: And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
Hebrew: ויהי בצהרים ויהתל בהם אליהו ויאמר קראו בקול גדול כי אלהים הוא כי שיח וכי שיג לו וכי דרך לו אולי ישן הוא ויקץ׃
Greek: και εγενετο μεσημβρια και εμυκτηρισεν αυτους ηλιου ο θεσβιτης και ειπεν επικαλεισθε εν φωνη μεγαλη οτι θεος εστιν οτι αδολεσχια αυτω εστιν και αμα μηποτε χρηματιζει αυτος η μηποτε καθευδει αυτος και εξαναστησεται
7. Matthew 7:24,26 House built on sand
8. Matthew 7:25,27 House built on sand
House on
rock of Christ:
Matthew 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. [kjv]
και κατεβη η βροχη και ηλθαν οι ποταμοι και επνευσαν οι ανεμοι και προσεπεσαν τη οικια εκεινη και ουκ επεσεν τεθεμελιωτο γαρ επι την πετραν [gnt]
House on
sand of man:
7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. [kjv]
και κατεβη η βροχη και ηλθαν οι ποταμοι και επνευσαν οι ανεμοι και προσεκοψαν τη οικια εκεινη και επεσεν και ην η πτωσις αυτης μεγαλη [gnt]
The "
rain", "
rivers" and "
wind"
"falls" on the "
house" built on the "
rock". However, the "
rain", "
rivers" and "
wind"
"cut off" (different word) the "
house" built on "
sand". The ancient Greek word
"προσκόπτω" ≈ "cut towards/off". The "
house" is
"cut off". Perhaps they "
cut off" themselves as in separating themselves from the love of Christ - as the lost sheep that goes on the mountain.
9. Matthew 7:27 House built on sand
Matthew 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. [kjv]
και κατεβη η βροχη και ηλθαν οι ποταμοι και επνευσαν οι ανεμοι και προσεκοψαν τη οικια εκεινη και επεσεν και ην η πτωσις αυτης μεγαλη [gnt]
The "
house" built on "
rock" does
not "fall". However, the "
house" built on "
sand" is
"cut off" and has a
"great" (size or number)
"fall". The ancient Greek word
"πτῶσις" ≈ "falling" and, in grammar, is a case or inflection. The ancient Greek word
"πίπτω" ≈ "fall". A related word is
"πτωχός" ≈ "beggar" and means, literally, one who has fallen. Jesus often refers to the
"poor" as those who are
"fallen" and need the
"Gospel" or
"Good News" which is the source of the English word
"evangelical".
Might there be a play on words of the "
great"
"fall" with the "
many" or "
city" in the (false) "
house" on the "
mountain" following the (false) "
light" who need the
"Good News" but, due to "
birds" and "
pigs" (who work for the "
birds") get
"cut off" and never got to hear (or were misled about) that
"Good News"?
10. Matthew 14:21-36 The all in one boat fallacy and deception
The "
all in one boat" deception involves focusing on
"fear" and the "
boat" rather than on the "
wind" and then ignoring another passage in Matthew involving a boat and wind that would invalidate the intended deception.
The fallacies used are, among others,
faulty generalization,
selective evidence and
red herring (as a distractor). In short.
Get the other person to believe that you think they are very smart. False humility can be used.
Provide the person with selective evidence holding other evidence back.
The person arrives at the conclusion you want them to arrive at.
Tell the person how smart and clever and insightful they are.
Use distractors as necessary to focus attention on certain words and away from more relevant words.
The deception is complete.
11. Gilligan's Island
In the 1960's TV show Gilligan's Island, they were "
All in one boat". The problem was, the boat was stranded on a dessert island. As Bugs Bunny would say, "
What a maroon".
A professor at one university (at a department meeting) said that some classes with students were like Gilligan's Island where they wanted the professor to solve all their problems.
At that time, I mentioned Green Acres. He said that a talking pig would provide more class participation.
12. Doubt and wind
A good distraction is to claim the "
wind" creates "
doubt". All you need to do is not "
doubt". This is related to the "
faith" can "
move" "
mountains" fallacy. To be specific, the amount of "
faith" is not specified, neither is moving a "
mountain" specified as good or bad, it is "
the mountain" and not just "
any mountain", etc.
This appears to be an example of a bird (physically) flapping winds and (figuratively) flapping lips as an opinion is held up to provide false light to the entire house (on a mountain that cannot be hid and cannot remain).
13. Doubt and wind
In reality, the "
wind" appears to represent Satan the accuser. Rather than "
doubt", the "
wind" creates "
distractions" as "
deceptions" as in the "
temptations" or "
examinations" of Jesus.
In Greek, "
wind" and "
without law" or "
lawless" can be play on words.
"ἄνεμος" ≈ "wind, breeze, gale" and often used in verses with Satin or the devil as "accuser" throwing/breathing accusations.
"ἄνομος" ≈ "without law" which could be "lawless", "impious", "unmusical", "illegal", etc.
The
"against law" appears to be that of being
against one or both of God's two main laws.
Love God and God's laws. Not man's laws or man's added laws.
Love neighbor as yourself. Not bringing in the world's culture that goes against God's laws.
14. Matthew 14:21
Matthew 14:21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children. [kjv]
οι δε εσθιοντες ησαν ανδρες ωσει πεντακισχιλιοι χωρις γυναικων και παιδιων [gnt]
The context is after one of the feedings, here of 5,000 men not counting women and children.
Note that there are two feedings, each somewhat
different, to help prevent faulty generalizations except for deceptions using selective evidence, often for the purpose of deception.
Some pastors (and others) have done such misrepresentation using a specific basket in a specific feeding.
15. Matthew 14:21
KJV: And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
Greek: οι δε εσθιοντες ησαν ανδρες ωσει πεντακισχιλιοι χωρις γυναικων και παιδιων
16. Matthew 14:22
Matthew 14:22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. [kjv]
και ευθεως ευθεως ηναγκασεν τους μαθητας εμβηναι εις πλοιον και προαγειν αυτον εις το περαν εως ου απολυση τους οχλους [gnt]
Jesus has them get in a "
boat" to go to the other side. The Greek words for "
ship" and "
boat" are interchangeable.
The ancient Greek word
"πλοῖον" ≈ "floating vessel, ship, boat" and comes from
"πλέω" ≈ "sail (in a boat), float" and is cognate with the English word
"float".
The modern Greek word
"πλοίο" (PLEE-o) ≈ "ship, large boat".
Which boat can be on sail?
17. Matthew 14:22 Divorce and separation
Matthew 14:22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. [kjv]
και ευθεως ευθεως ηναγκασεν τους μαθητας εμβηναι εις πλοιον και προαγειν αυτον εις το περαν εως ου απολυση τους οχλους [gnt]
Jesus
"released" the "
crowd". Being in the "
boat" does not
bode well with the "
crowd".
The ancient Greek word
"ἀπόλυσις" ≈ "release, acquit, departure" from
"ἀπολυω" ≈ "release, untie, detach" which is from the two Greek words
"ἀπο" ≈ "from" (with the idea of a separating distance) and
"λύω" ≈ "loosen, solve".
In the
GNT, the meaning is sometimes
"divorce",
"cancel", etc.,where the translators make assumptions and then provide a more narrow meaning to support their assumptions. When Jesus is saying something with more than one meaning, the translators change or hide that additional meaning.
18. Matthew 14:22
KJV: And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
Greek: και ευθεως ευθεως ηναγκασεν ο ιησους τους μαθητας αυτου εμβηναι εις το πλοιον και προαγειν αυτον εις το περαν εως ου απολυση τους οχλους
19. Matthew 14:23
Matthew 14:23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. [kjv]
και απολυσας τους οχλους ανεβη εις το ορος κατ ιδιαν προσευξασθαι οψιας δε γενομενης μονος ην εκει [gnt]
Jesus had
"dismissed" the "
crowd".
20. Matthew 14:23
KJV: And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
Greek: και απολυσας τους οχλους ανεβη εις το ορος κατ ιδιαν προσευξασθαι οψιας δε γενομενης μονος ην εκει
21. Matthew 14:24
Matthew 14:24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. [kjv]
το δε πλοιον ηδη σταδιους πολλους απο της γης απειχεν βασανιζομενον υπο των κυματων ην γαρ εναντιος ο ανεμος [gnt]
The "
ship" was now many "
stadia" (measure of distance) "
away". The "
midst" and "
sea" are added in the
TR (Textus Receptus).
"κῦμα" ≈ "swell, wave, billow, sprout" and is the source of the prefix of English word "chemotherapy".
"βασανίζω" ≈ "examine, investigate" but became associated with "torture" and "torment". This same base word is used by Jesus to describe what the religious establishment had done to the "kingdom" of "heaven".
What did the boy think about the girl in the surf at the ocean?
He thought she was worth wading for so he waved to her, if you get my drift.
22. Matthew 14:24
KJV: But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
Greek: το δε πλοιον ηδη μεσον σταδιους πολλους απο της θαλασσης ην γης απειχεν βασανιζομενον υπο των κυματων ην γαρ εναντιος ο ανεμος

25. Matthew 14:25
Matthew 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. [kjv]
τεταρτη δε φυλακη της νυκτος ηλθεν προς αυτους περιπατων επι την θαλασσαν [gnt]
The modern Greek word
"φυλακή" (fee-la-KEE) ≈ "watch, prison" from the ancient Greek word
"φυλακή" ≈ "watch, prison" where
"prison" was one way to be
"watched". The Greek word is the source of the English word
"prophylactic".
In order to be "
fishers" of "
men", Jesus "
walks" on the "
sea" (of
humanity) in a
literal sense to support the
figurative sense. Men must use a "
boat" to be "
fishers" of "
men".
26. Matthew 14:25
KJV: And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
Greek: τεταρτη δε φυλακη της νυκτος απηλθεν ηλθεν προς αυτους ο ιησους περιπατων επι της θαλασσης την θαλασσαν
27. Matthew 14:26
Matthew 14:26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. [kjv]
οι δε μαθηται ιδοντες αυτον επι της θαλασσης περιπατουντα εταραχθησαν λεγοντες οτι φαντασμα εστιν και απο του φοβου εκραξαν [gnt]
Jesus appears to have been providing an example of "
walking" in God's "
righteousness" and
not man's "
righteousness".
The word for "
troubled" is the same word used to describe Mary before the birth.
The Greek for "
spirit" is that of "
something that appears", often in a human-like form.
28. Matthew 14:26
KJV: And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
Greek: και ιδοντες αυτον οι οι δε μαθηται ιδοντες αυτον επι την θαλασσαν της θαλασσης περιπατουντα εταραχθησαν λεγοντες οτι φαντασμα εστιν και απο του φοβου εκραξαν

30. Matthew 14:27
KJV: But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

31. Strongs - courage

33. Matthew 14:28
Matthew 14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. [kjv]
αποκριθεις δε ο πετρος ειπεν αυτω κυριε ει συ ει κελευσον με ελθειν προς σε επι τα υδατα [gnt]
Peter "
answers". What was the question? Then, Peter does ask a
question.
Anyone can walk on water if the water is frozen. This was a favorite battle technique of the Russians against the Germans on the Eastern Front of World War II. Walking on water is not easy if the water is liquid rather than solid.
34. Matthew 14:28
KJV: And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
Greek: αποκριθεις δε αυτω ο πετρος ειπεν αυτω κυριε ει συ ει κελευσον με ελθειν προς σε ελθειν επι τα υδατα
35. Matthew 14:29
Matthew 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. [kjv]
ο δε ειπεν ελθε και καταβας απο του πλοιου πετρος περιεπατησεν επι τα υδατα και ηλθεν προς τον ιησουν [gnt]
The "
coming down" and "
out of the ship" is a theme of Jonah.
36. Matthew 14:29
KJV: And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
Greek: ο δε ειπεν ελθε και καταβας απο του πλοιου ο πετρος περιεπατησεν επι τα υδατα ελθειν και ηλθεν προς τον ιησουν
37. Matthew 14:30
Matthew 14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. [kjv]
βλεπων δε τον ανεμον εφοβηθη και αρξαμενος καταποντιζεσθαι εκραξεν λεγων κυριε σωσον με [gnt]
The Greek for "
see" is that of "
observing" without any deep understanding. The
TR adds "
boisterous" as the Greek word "
strong". That Greek word is not used by Jesus in a positive sense. Was this just any "
wind"?
This is the
"wind" with associations with Satan the accuser.
The
other "wind" in Greek is that of the "
Spirit" and is a play on words with "
lawless" as in "
against the law".
38. Matthew 14:30
KJV: But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
Greek: βλεπων δε τον ανεμον ισχυρον εφοβηθη και αρξαμενος καταποντιζεσθαι εκραξεν λεγων κυριε σωσον με
39. Matthew 14:31
Matthew 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? [kjv]
ευθεως δε ο ιησους εκτεινας την χειρα επελαβετο αυτου και λεγει αυτω ολιγοπιστε εις τι εδιστασας [gnt]
The word "
immediately" is the same Greek word used a few verses back as "
straight" as in a line in geometry.
"χείρ" ≈ "hand" (grammatically feminine)
"χειρός" ≈ "hand" (genitive singular)
The Greek word translated "
doubt" appears only one other time in the
GNT.
The ancient Greek word
"διστάζω" ≈ "be of two minds" which could be "
wavering", "
doubt", etc.
The modern Greek word
"διστάζω" (thee-STA-zo) ≈ "hesitate, waver, pause".
40. Matthew 14:31
KJV: And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
Greek: ευθεως δε ο ιησους εκτεινας την χειρα επελαβετο αυτου και λεγει αυτω ολιγοπιστε εις τι εδιστασας
41. Strongs - doubt
- *G1365 *2 διστάζω (dis-tad'-zo) : from G1364; properly, to duplicate, i.e. (mentally) to waver (in opinion):--doubt.

45. 2 Corinthians 12:9,15
2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. [kjv]
και ειρηκεν μοι αρκει σοι η χαρις μου η γαρ δυναμις εν ασθενεια τελειται ηδιστα ουν μαλλον καυχησομαι εν ταις ασθενειαις ινα επισκηνωση επ εμε η δυναμις του χριστου [gnt]
12:15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. [kjv]
εγω δε ηδιστα δαπανησω και εκδαπανηθησομαι υπερ των ψυχων υμων ει περισσοτερως υμας αγαπω ησσον αγαπωμαι [gnt]
The Greek word for "
gladly", sound-wise, is similar to the word for "
doubted" (in the tenses used). There does not appear to be any important connection.
46. 2 Corinthians 12:9
KJV: And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Greek: και ειρηκεν μοι αρκει σοι η χαρις μου η γαρ δυναμις μου εν ασθενεια τελειουται τελειται ηδιστα ουν μαλλον καυχησομαι εν ταις ασθενειαις μου ινα επισκηνωση επ εμε η δυναμις του χριστου
47. 2 Corinthians 12:15
KJV: And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
Greek: εγω δε ηδιστα δαπανησω και εκδαπανηθησομαι υπερ των ψυχων υμων ει και περισσοτερως υμας αγαπων ηττον αγαπω ησσον αγαπωμαι

50. Matthew 14:32
Matthew 14:32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. [kjv]
και αναβαντων αυτων εις το πλοιον εκοπασεν ο ανεμος [gnt]
The
KJV translates as "
ceased" the Greek word that means "
cut off". What was the cause of the
"wind" being "
cut off"?
☐ Did the wind cease because they came into the ship?
☐ Did the wind cease because of Jesus?
☐ Was it just a coincidence that the wind ceased?
Might this "
cut off" be similar to the "
house" built on "
sand" being "
cut off"?
[falling and breaking a hip]

οι δε ησυχασαν και επιλαβομενος ιασατο αυτον και απελυσεν [gnt]
English: ... for example, the statements that 'calm at sea and absence of wind in the air are the same thing' (for each is a state of quite) ... (Loeb#391, p. 329)
Greek: … οἷον ὅτι ταὐτὸν γαλήνη μὲν ἐν θαλάσσῃ, νηνεμία δ´ ἐν ἀέρι (ἑκάτερον γὰρ ἡσυχία), … Aristotle: Tocica [108b]

54. Matthew 14:33

οι δε εν τω πλοιω προσεκυνησαν αυτω λεγοντες αληθως θεου υιος ει [gnt]
Is this an implicit admission that it was Jesus that "
ceased" or "
cut off" the
"wind"?

62. Matthew 14:26-30 Fear
Jesus uses the Greek word for
"fear" three times in the
four verses in Matthew 14:26-30. This story can be used as part of the "
all in one boat" deception that focuses on
"fear" and the "
boat" rather than the
"wind" and what Jesus can do to the
"wind".
Matthew 14:26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. [kjv]
14:27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. [kjv]
14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. [kjv]
14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. [kjv]
14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. [kjv]
By contrast, the
"fear" deception involves focusing on worldly
"fear" and "
friends" and not on what Jesus says
four times in
six successive
verses in Matthew 10:26-31 about what to
"fear" (i.e.,
deception that can kill both "
body" and "
soul" in "
hell").
63. Comparison
The "all in one boat" idea might be plausible when one looks only at this story in this chapter. The Bible often pre-empts any fallacies, deceptions, etc., by providing more than one story from which to draw theological conclusions.

64. Matthew 8:23
Matthew 8:23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. [kjv]
και εμβαντι αυτω εις πλοιον ηκολουθησαν αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου [gnt]

66. Matthew 8:24
Matthew 8:24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. [kjv]
και ιδου σεισμος μεγας εγενετο εν τη θαλασση ωστε το πλοιον καλυπτεσθαι υπο των κυματων αυτος δε εκαθευδεν [gnt]
The
KJV translates as
"tempest" the ancient Greek word
"σεισμός" ≈ "shaking, shock, earthquake" which is the source of the English word
"seismic". The word comes from
"σείω" ≈ "shake, disturb, shake".
"κῦμα" ≈ "swell, wave, billow, sprout" and is the source of the prefix of English word "chemotherapy".
67. Matthew 8:24
KJV: And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
