403 | Am I ignorant | 1 Cor 12:1 | azurelaw | 212120 | ||
The Holy Word says: 2 Tim 3:1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2 Tim 3:2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 2 Tim 3:3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 2 Tim 3:4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 2 Tim 3:5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. 2 Tim 3:13 But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 2 Tim 3:17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. |

404 | acknowleged my sin to You | Psalm | azurelaw | 211979 | ||
DEAR YELLOWROSE, UNDERSTOOD YOUR PROBLEM WITH YOUR EYESIGHT. PLEASE BE ASSURE THAT WE ALL ARE WILLING TO HELP. HERE BELOW IS WHAT I HAVE FOUND FOR YOU: PSALM 32:5 I ACKNOWLEDGED MY SIN TO YOU, AND MY INIQUITY I DID NOT HIDE. I SAID, I WILL CONFESS MY TRANSGRESSIONS TO THE LORD [CONTINUALLY UNFOLDING THE PAST TILL ALL IS TOLD]-- THEN YOU [INSTANTLY] FORGAVE ME THE GUILT AND INIQUITY OF MY SIN. SELAH [PAUSE, AND CALMLY THINK OF THAT]! THE OTHER VERSE IS STILL IN SEARCH :-) SHALOM AZURE |

405 | Did Jonah die in the belly of the fish? | Jon 2:2 | azurelaw | 211920 | ||
Dear John, I see your point. I am still digging. However, Jonah chapter 2 is a poem / psalm which employs much from the book of Psalm. So, in consideration of the genre of the scripture, it would be helpful for us to understand better. Some citations from "How to read the Bible from all its worth" - by Fee and Stuart 1/ ...Hebrew poetry, by its very nature, was addressed, as it were, to the mind through the heart (i.e. much of the language is intentionally emotive). 2/ ...the Psalms are not just any kind of poems; they are musical poems. A musical poem cannot be read in the same way that an epistle or a narrative or a section of law can be read. It is intended to appeal to be emotions, to evoke feelings rather than propositional thinking, and to stimulate a response on the part of the individual that goes beyond a mere cognitive understanding of certain facts. 3/ ...the vocabulary of poetry is purposefuly metaphorical. Thus one must take care to look for the intent of the metapphor...It is likewise important that one noe press metaphors or take them literally. Digging...digging...:-) Shalom Azure |

406 | Did Jonah die in the belly of the fish? | Jon 2:2 | azurelaw | 211906 | ||
Dear John, Wow, yes, an intriguing and interesting question indeed! However, I tend to hold the position that Jonah did not die but at the blink of or to the point of death (v5). I see v7 was pretty clear in describing his state of emergency. Concerning the concept of shoel, could this be a metaphor Jonah used in his poem to indicate a total separation from God? By the way, with the idea that "sea" implies God's judgment (Rev 21:1, there is no longer any sea) according to the Jewish thinking, Jonah considered God's judgment and punishment on him made him foretaste the shadow of eternal death that scares him so much (remember that he asked for death again in 4:3). More insights would be appreciated and thanks for the good question. Shalom Azure |

408 | pleasestate your undestandingof verse | Prov 16:33 | azurelaw | 211614 | ||
Dear Keliy, 1/ The thread starts out with a verse in Proverb not Psalm :-) 2/ I made the same mistake in the past about the spelling of Arminianism :-) 3/ You say: Actually, both sides of that debate are wrong, God's will is somewhere in between and His Holy Spirit knows that there will be arguments about this. Many adherents do not realize the gravity of the sin they are committing by stirring up these debates. It only professes their own pride and ignorance. Hmmm...isn't it a bit too assertive and arogant? 4/ It seems to me that you have over-generalized the term "denomination" by covering all kinds of beliefs. Could you please advise what is your definition of "denomination"? Thanks and Shalom Azure |

409 | Living together | John 3:16 | azurelaw | 211509 | ||
Peace and blessings be with you (John, Val and Cheri) in Thanksgiving. May I offer a bit of my thought that while we may want to set an example in front of our children and wisely interact with our unbelieving neighbours, pray before hand is a must as you have suggested. Do you think it also help to find the chance to read them scriptures which speak about God's condemnation of sin and His planned salvation and blessings for us? Sometimes we do not need to talk too much, but just let the Holy Word do everything for us. This is also an example we set before our children to rely on the Word. Shalom Azure |

410 | The Author's Role | Acts 16:11 | azurelaw | 211463 | ||
Dear Newwine, Correction to my previous post as I copied the wrong verse. Paul was initially regarded as disciple according to Acts 9:26 "When he came to Jerusalem, he was trying to associate with the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple." Sorry for the mistake :-( Shalom Azure |

411 | The Author's Role | Acts 16:11 | azurelaw | 211462 | ||
Dear Newwine, Calm down my friend :-) As far as I know brother John, he always possesses a ready to learn spirit together with a tough and firm position in espousing the sola Scriptura. I am afraid your statement "If you took my honest correction, as a personal attack, or an affront to your biblical knowledge..." is not a correct assessment of his character. Psalm 133 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, Coming down upon the beard, Even Aaron's beard, It is like the dew of Hermon Coming down upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing--life forever. Now, I have checked the scripture concerning the change of Paul's role in Acts and please see below findings. Paul was called disciple at first in Acts 9:27 "But Barnabas took hold of him and brought him to the apostles and described to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had talked to him, and how at Damascus he had spoken out boldly in the name of Jesus." Only starting Acts 14:14, he began to be called apostle... "But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their robes and rushed out into the crowd, crying out..." Shalom Azure |

412 | God's grace and man's impotency | Luke 18:27 | azurelaw | 211433 | ||
"We are often told that God never commands us to do what we have no ability to perform, but He does, and that for two very good reasons: first, to awaken us to a sense of our impotency; second, that we might seek from Him the grace and strength we need to do that which is pleasing in His sight. What was the Law—that Law that was "holy, just and good"—given for? Its summarized requirements were, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart... and thy neighbor as thyself." But what man ever did this? What man could do it? Only one—the God-man. Why, then, was the Law given? On purpose to reveal man’s impotency. And why was that? To bring man to cast himself at the foot of God’s omnipotency: "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God" (Luke 18:27). This is the first lesson in the school of God." --- A.W.

414 | pastor / shepherd? | John 21:17 | azurelaw | 211287 | ||
Thank you, justme, for your feedback. I have no idea why you say that I judge harshly, but when I re-read my question, I understand why you have such a feeling. I am terribly sorry that I did not state it clearly. My beginning sentence should read like this instead: "Nowadays, there are SOME pastors ONLY engage in teaching in seminaries and giving sermons on the pulpits." I forgot to use the word "some" to state clearly the specific group of ministers. Therefore, my focus of concern is what constitute to the term "pastor" if no caring and shepherding function is exercised? I hope it clarifies the misunderstanding :-) Shalom Azure |

Dear Cheri, I pray that your health is progressing sactisfactorily and it is good to see you post with good spirit. I think you have made a pretty good advice to Keliy for Hebrew communication via private email instead of on a public English speaking forum :-) If I would have met any forum user who can speak my native tongue, I, too, will be tempted to communicate in phonetic symbols for Chinese :-) Well then, I would need to remind myself about "self-control" (the fruit of the Holy Spirit). Shalom Azure |
