1 | Defend the Offender-Attack the Offended? | Bible general | srbaegon | 241666 | ||
Hello, Has someone truly caused you offense, or are you feeling the sting of sharp correction? Christians are called to restrict the gifts in others when the use of that gift is unseemly. The apostle Paul sharply corrected the believers in Corinth for the way they conducted themselves according to their gifts: there was chaos that needed to be set in order. Steve |

Hi Doc, Hippolytus was very concerned with the time frames in the book of Daniel (Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol 5) and was probably therefore a pre-millenialist, although it cannot be stated with certainty. Steve |

Hello LightVsKira, Such a website does not readily come to mind. Sorry. As for your question concerning "born again" Christians, have you considered that your ideology is as firm--and possibly as idiotic (to use your word)--as theirs? Since this forum is based on a grammatical-historical reading of the Bible, you will find that 95 percent of the users here are of the evangelical type. Steve |

5 | Where and when did Gentiles originate? | Bible general Archive 4 | srbaegon | 207804 | ||
Hello homerv4, We have a serious problem then. You see, Ezra 4 says that all that went captive into Babylon were Jews. Ezra 4:1 specifically mentions Judah and Benjamin. We know that Levites came back from captivity, so they were considered Jews. Simeon had its borders within Judah, so they must have gone into captivity and would be called Jews. When the kingdom was initially divided, faithful of each tribe went to live in Judah (2 Chron 11:13-17), so they must have gone into captivity so would have been called Jews. So, I suppose the most you can say is that only those living in Judah could be called Jews. I might give you that one. Steve |

Hello beingther, Why must you have Strong's Concordance and know names and numbers? I agree that a concordance is worthwhile, but why is it required? Just reading a good English translation is the best place to start. Steve |

Hello CoG88, The quote is from Desiring God by John Piper. Steve |

9 | Need feedback on Genesis? | Bible general Archive 4 | srbaegon | 210579 | ||
Hello again, We get many questions on this forum about the origination of Cain's wife. Sometimes people get upset when the answer that she is his sister. As you have mentioned, the purity of the gene pool would have allowed this to occur without harm until the Lord put a stop to it. As an aside, may I recommend that your ministry be to the Air Force, since that is where the Lord has placed you currently. Be faithful in this thing in order to be useful in the next. :-) Steve |

Hello Rolff, Yes, it is. The book is online at http://www.desiringgod.org/dg/id1.htm I found the first part of that quote in Chapter 1. Steve |

Hello DL, What could be more evil? Enabling the evil-doer to continue oppression so that children starve is more evil. Sin has consequences which extend even to those uninvolved directly with the transgression or the perpetrator. That is an observable fact. If God simply provided for those affected, he would be unjust by enabling the irresponsibility of the transgressor. It would be the same as the U.S. government bailing out the banking, auto, credit, etc. industries for stupid past decisions. Instead, retribution should be meted out on the oppressor, which is something God has promised to do but not in our time frame. He is not slow as some men count slowness. Steve |

14 | Correct Understanding of verses? | Bible general Archive 4 | srbaegon | 219340 | ||
Hello, Your quotation is accurate but taken out of context. As given here the quote appears to demonstrate that obey the law makes one righteous. That is not correct. Later, Paul writes: Romans 3:19-20 (ESV) Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. [20] For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. Since obeying the law does not justify anyone, how can Paul say that obedience to the law will justify? Paul's point in chapter two (as you follow it through to chapter four) is to make plain the fact that he is comparing the Jews who hear the law and do nothing because they really do not believe it to Gentiles who have not heard the law but instinctively do part of it. He is trying to point out that the high-minded Jews are no better than the barbarians mentioned in chapter one. Then he summarizes in chapter three that ALL men are sinners and we cannot do ANY work to justify ourselves. Steve |

15 | Is there a reason to debate? | Bible general Archive 4 | srbaegon | 219973 | ||
Hello doday, Consider Luke 18:12 as an example of translating "sabbatou" as "week." Translating as you suggest would give "I fast twice a sabbath..." That does not make good sense. There are multiple issues at work here when insisting that "sabbatou" must be "sabbath:" 1) "protei sabbatou" is literally "first of the sabbath." What is the first of a sabbath? What does that mean? 2) Which sabbath is meant: sabbath of days; sabbath of weeks; sabbath of years? Steve |

16 | Is there a reason to debate? | Bible general Archive 4 | srbaegon | 219991 | ||
dodoy, I have no example of fasting twice per week beyond the one I gave, but that does not mean it did not occur--only that it was not otherwise recorded. Your examples attesting to twice-daily fasting are nonsensical. The OT examples are simply giving a time period for the length of the fast, no more. The reference to Christ's fast just ensures that the reader understands it was 40 consecutive 24-hour periods in length, again nothing more. You are playing games with the text. As you have stated, "protei" can have various translations depending on context, but your translation attempt is invalid because the Greek text simply will not support it. "Sabbatou" is in the genitive and is modifying "protei," so besides "first of the sabbath" as I mentioned, it could also be literally translated as "on the sabbath's first [formemost, chief]." In order for your translation to be correct, "sabbatou" must be either in the dative case agreeing with "protei." Steve |

18 | Chgs - early Jeruselem Church structure? | Bible general Archive 4 | srbaegon | 220278 | ||
Hello Flying_V, The fact that you acknowledge yourself as a deacon demonstrates that structure. Also, 1 Timothy 3:1 reads "The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task." Office infers structure. Understand none of this means that there is a hierarchy. Nowhere in Scripture will find that concept. Rather each believer fulfills his or her role in the local church as overseen by the elders. Steve P.S. I always preferred the Gibson Les Paul Classic, but that's me. |

I apologize for not replying sooner. I did not see the e-mail that you had replied. When I say that context is king, I am saying that the author's original use of the text should govern meaning. In this case, because Plutarch or any other extra-biblical writer uses a word in a particular way, we cannot assume the Biblical author uses it in exactly the same way. There are shades of meaning based on the context of the paragraph. A short perusal of any good lexicon will bear this out. Extra-biblical usage helps understanding biblical use but does not define it. Steve |
