3861 | Is there a difference in meaning? | 1 Chr 4:10 | kalos | 6500 | ||
Oomie: Welcome to the Forum. I enjoyed reading your answer. You make some good observations. Indeed the depth of insight in Matthew Henry's writings is informative and inspiring. Yes, the same passage in the NKJV is different than in other translations. Compare the same verse in the NET Bible and the Amplified. 1 Chr 4:10 (New English Translation) Jabez called out to the God of Israel, "If only you would greatly bless me and expand my territory! May your hand be with me! Keep me from harm so I might not endure pain!" God answered his prayer. Translators footnote: Heb "and act from [i.e., so as to prevent] harm so that I might not be in pain." New English Translation (http://www.netbible.com) The same verse in part in the Amplified Bible reads: "...and You would keep me from evil so it might not hurt me!" |

3862 | When was the Holy Spirit first given? | Acts 2:1 | kalos | 6492 | ||
The disciples did not actually receive the Holy Spirit until the day of Pentecost. kndyah: "In the O.T. economy, the Holy Spirit was particularly related to service, rather than salvation...Here [in Psalm 51] David is asking God not to take away his service as the anointed king of Israel..." (p. 846, The Ryrie Study Bible, 1976, 1978, Moody Press) Luke 24:49 ASV "And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high." In 24:33 the text makes it clear that in v. 49 Jesus is adressing "the eleven [apostles] and those who were with them gathered together." Question: If the Apostles had previously received the Holy Spirit (John 20:22), then why does Jesus command them "tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high"? Acts 1:8 ASV "But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Question: Again why say "ye shall receive [future tense] power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you," if the Holy Spirit had already come upon them in the past? 1) Upon salvation we are baptized (placed) into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit(1 Cor 12:13). 2) Also, at the time of our salvation, we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit (Rom 8:9). 3) We must realize that those first disciples did not receive the Holy Spirit until the Day of Pentecost, because the Holy Spirit had not yet been given. 4) Pentecost was a one-time, never to be repeated event in the history of the church. Now there is no need to wait or tarry to receive the indwelling Holy Spirit. This was only true of the first (pre-Pentecost) disciples. John 20:22 "Since the disciples did not actually receive the Holy Spirit until the day of Pentecost, some 40 days in the future (Acts 1:8; 2:1-3), this statement must be understood as a pledge on Christ's part that the Holy Spirit would be coming." (p. 1627, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) |

3863 | What is the extent of Rom. 5:18? | 1 Pet 3:20 | kalos | 6486 | ||
Flippancy dealing with Scripture. This verse means to me.... "Avoid superficial interpretation...avoid superficial interpretation. One of the common problems in interpreting the Bible is this little phrase, "This verse means to me...." so forth and so forth and so forth. Let me tell you something. It doesn't matter what it means to you, the question is what would it mean if you didn't live? What would it mean if you didn't exist? What does it mean period is the issue, not what does it mean to you. "Sometimes you'll hear people get together and supposedly have a Bible study which is little more than a pooling of ignorance. People say, "Well, I look at this verse and I feel this verse is saying..." It doesn't matter what you feel. That has nothing to do with it. It's not a matter of how you feel about the verse, it's not a matter of what you think it means to you. Avoid adlibbing in Bible interpretation. Avoid free wheeling in Bible interpretation. Haphazard handling of God's Word. "We all want to acknowledge the priesthood of the believer...yes, we all want to acknowledge that we have anointing from God, the Spirit of God who dwells within us and the Spirit of God who dwells within us is the teacher who teaches us. We all want to acknowledge that. But that is not justification for flippancy dealing with Scripture. That's why in 1 Timothy 5:17 it says, "The elders who work hard in the Scripture are worthy of double honor." It is hard work. Avoid superficial interpretation. Avoid "this means to me." That is not a statement that should preface any interpretation of Scripture. The question is, what does it mean if you don't exist? What did it mean before you were born? And what will mean it after you're dead? What does it mean to people who will never meet you? What does it mean period, is the issue."

Lionstrong: "All scientific laws are tentative. Progress in science insures that the present laws will be replaced by other laws." Let me know when the Law of Gravity is changed, would you? On the other hand, if one does not believe in the Law of Gravity, then one may wish to test it by jumping off a tall building. |

3865 | Is harsh language appropriate? | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 6459 | ||
No criticism of Calvin was intended. retxar: In my original question, I in no way intended any criticism of Calvin. I apologize if I gave anyone that impression. The point of my question was not to criticize Calvin, but to remind us that harsh language in theological debates is inappropritate. |

"To us-ward" Eph 1:19 (KJV) And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 2 Peter 3:9 (KJV) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. "To us-ward" simply means "toward us." |

3873 | Nebuchadnezzar a true believer? | Dan 2:47 | kalos | 6336 | ||
Give it a rest. 25 entries to debate whether Nebuchadnezzar was a true believer? The original question is valid and legitimate. But 25 entries? Does this have some bearing on our eternal destiny? Does it affect our salvation? Does it concern one of the essentials of the Christian faith? You know, like the Deity of Christ, inspiration of the Bible, the Atonment, the visible and personal return of Christ to the earth, and did Nebuchadnezzar, along with elect babies, go to heaven when he died? P.S. I do not wish to be notified via email when someone replies to this submission. |

3874 | Will there be degrees of judgment? | Matt 11:22 | kalos | 6302 | ||

Chosen for a fourfold mission. Jim: You ask: The elect could be Isreal could it not? Israel was indeed elect (chosen). But chosen for what? For what? When the word elect is used in the Bible, it is not in every case used in connection with salvation. "Israel, so named from the grandson of Abraham, was chosen for a fourfold mission: "(1) To witness to the unity of God in the midst of universal idolatry, Deuteronomy 6:4 ; Isaiah 43:10,12,. "(2) to illustrate to the nations the blessedness of serving the true God, Deuteronomy 33:26-29 ; 1 Chronicles 17:20,21 ; Psalms 144:15. "(3) to receive, preserve, and transmit the Scripture, Deuteronomy 4:5-8; Romans 3:1,2. "(4) to produce, as to His humanity, the Messiah, Genesis 3:15; 12:3; 22:18; 28:10-14; 49:10 ; 2 Samuel 7:12-16 ; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; Matthew 1:1; Romans 1:3. According to the prophets, Israel, regathered from all nations, restored to her own land and converted, is yet to have her greatest earthly exaltation and glory. Zechariah 12:8." (Scofield, C.I.

3876 | The words are divinely taught. | 1 Cor 2:13 | kalos | 6252 | ||
2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. words (1) The writers of Scripture invariably affirm, where the subject is mentioned by them at all, that the words of their writings are divinely taught. This, of necessity, refers to the original documents, not to translations and versions; but the labours of competent scholars have brought our English versions to a degree of perfection so remarkable that we may confidently rest upon them as authoritative. (2) 1 Corinthians 2:9-14 gives the process by which a truth passes from the mind of God to the minds of His people. (a) The unseen things of God are undiscoverable by the natural man (1 Corinthians 2:9). (b) These unseen things God has revealed to chosen men (1 Corinthians 2:10-12). (c) The revealed things are communicated in Spirit-taught words (1 Corinthians 2:13). This implies neither mechanical dictation nor the effacement of the writer's personality, but only that the Spirit infallibly guides in the choice of words from the writer's own vocabulary (1 Corinthians 2:13 ). (d) These Spirit-taught words, in which the revelation has been expressed, are discerned, as to their true spiritual content, only by the spiritual among believers ; 1 Corinthians 2:15,16.

3877 | Two aspects of one truth. | Rom 4:2 | kalos | 6251 | ||
4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. works Cf. (compare) James 2:24. These are two aspects of one truth. Paul speaks of that which justifies man before God, viz.: faith alone, wholly apart from works; James of the proof before men, that he who professes to have justifying faith really has it. Paul speaks of what God sees--faith; James of what men see--works, as the visible evidence of faith. Paul draws his illustration from Genesis 15:6; James from Genesis 22:1-19. James' key phrase is "ye see" (James 2:24 ) for men cannot see faith except as manifested through works. Scofield, C.I. "Scofield Reference Notes on Romans 4".

3879 | Nebuchadnezzar a true believer? | Dan 2:47 | kalos | 6241 | ||
Steve: You write, "I do not care what any version says. I study the Bible to see what God says." If you are studying the Bible without regard to what any translation or version says, then you must be reading it in the original languages. "Everyone could be wrong." Yeah, that really makes sense. All the Bible versions -- all of them -- could be wrong. And yet the gospel is being preached and souls are being saved, even though (according to your hypothesis) there is not one sound translation of the Bible upon which to rely. |

"Or possibly [the Spirit of the holy God,] and so throughout the ch" (NASB footnote at Dan 4:8) The New American Standard Bible Dan 4:8 "But finally Daniel came in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, and in whom is a spirit of the holy gods; and I related the dream to (footnote 111) him, [saying,] " "FOOTNOTE: F111: Or possibly [the Spirit of the holy God,] and so throughout the ch" Ray: "I think he even recognized the Spirit of God. Daniel 4:8, marginal note, Or possibly, ...'the Spirit of the holy God.'" Steve: "Also, I think your Daniel 4:8 marginal note is incorrect" Steve: *You* think the marginal footnote is incorrect? That's very interesting. Are you implying that you intuitively know more about the Aramaic text of Dan 4:8 than all the translators of the NASB know after years of study? How did you come by your conclusion that the marginal note is incorrect? Did you guess, did you intuit, did you study the Aramaic language for 2 or 3 years, did you have a dream or a vision? Is that what it says in "The Message?" Tell us, whence cometh this great learning? |
