so “peculiar people,” Titus 2:14. According to a deeper-rooted translation, the more accurate meaning of “particular people” should be regarded as a people in whom God had a superlative and proper interest above and beyond the common interest of all other nations of the world . Therefore, the more accurate translation should rather be “His precious people.” Peripoiesis, pronounced per-ee-poy'-ay-sis; means “purchased or possessed”. A people owned by the Lord; a people that belongs to him." I Peter 2:9,10 states: “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye may manifest the praises of him that hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:”“Who in times past were not a people, but now are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy.”Each of the Scriptures of Ancient Testament reveal the commandments given by God to His people before they were called peculiar. Particular persons are required to observe and faithfully observe the ordinances of the Lord; they are God's chosen holy people, favored above all the nations of the earth. Another Hebrew word for peculiar is cuwr, (pronounced soor); renders the meaning “of the Temple” (Exodus 19:5). This indicates the meaning of ownership or property of God; His sacred possession. Our body is the Temple of the Lord where He dwells, dwells or dwells. The Oxford Desk Dictionary and Thesaurus (American Edition) defines peculiar as “strange; strange; unusual; belonging exclusively to the individual as particular; special.”There are peculiar earthly descriptions (genus or types), peculiar celestial descriptions, and natural, earthly representations that possess celestial qualities. For…half of the paper…to maintain the strength and power of the words often seen in the Holy Bible. As we have seen and learned; God Himself used the term “peculiar” when referring to the nation of Israel and those who live holy to Him; also called “special treasures”. It would therefore belittle the meaning of this word to use it loosely in biblical teachings; making it so common. Using a word such as peculiar that has such great meaning in the Scriptures, as well as describing what God holds dear and adoring to His heart, greatly reduces the impact of the power and effect of His Word. As we have learned, the application of this word, “peculiar,” is used exclusively when referring to God's people. Why then use this significant word for any common connotation other than to reaffirm God's claim about peculiar beings associated with His chosen people?.
