501 | Mat 5:27-28. Adultery. | Prov 5:1 | srbaegon | 178668 | ||
Hello ebrain, The Greek word literally means "strong desire" as has been pointed out to you. It was translated into English as "lust" because that reflects a strong desire for a woman. If the Lord had been talking about food, the translators would probably have used the word "starved" or "famished". You say "If as you say the Greek NT, is inspired by the Holy Spirit...". The NT says it, we don't (2 Tim 3:26). And the reason for the different accounts? Or as you say "Has the Holy Spirt made a mistake, or is it human error?" It's neither. The writers recorded it as it was relayed to them through their investigation. Steve |

502 | Mat 5:27-28. Adultery. | Prov 5:1 | srbaegon | 178771 | ||
Hello Edwin, The only manuscript I know of that has been disputed concerning original language is Matthew. Your position is well outside the norm. I cannot understand why you would consider Paul's epistles to be written in Aramaic. The receiving churches and individuals would have been Gentile or mixed. Greek would have been the normal method of communication in order to be easily understood. Steve |

503 | Mat 5:27-28. Adultery. | Prov 5:1 | srbaegon | 178781 | ||
Hello Edwin, Would Paul have naturally written in Aramaic? That is a non sequitur based on your presuppositions. The apostle was well-versed in Greek language and culture. We know this from his use of the Greek poet while preaching in Athens (Acts 17). If he knows Greek, there is nothing to prevent writing his epistles to the common-use language of the empire--Greek. I know there is a difference between Classical and Koine Greek. I acknowledge Hebrew idioms to be in the Greek text, but that is hardly conclusive. Nor are your examples which are given from the gospels and would deal almost exclusively with Jews. Again, we would expect Hebrew idioms in the Greek text because the setting would warrant it. You are making sweeping claims based on circumstantial evidence. I await your response to Tim Moran concerning the hard evidence. Steve |

Hello Karen I did an oops, didn't I. Does this mean that sister knows best? :-) Steve |

505 | Vote against abortion | Prov 29:2 | srbaegon | 136270 | ||
Hello cloud, This is not a political site. While I completely agree with you, please maintain the forum guidelines and keep the topics to Bible study. Steve |
||||||
506 | Vote against abortion | Prov 29:2 | srbaegon | 136286 | ||
Hello cloud, Yes, the Bible talks about politics. So if you wish to ask questions or make comments concerning the political entities, structures, and leaders in the Bible, feel free. Or if you wish to do the same concerning our Biblical response to leaders (obey, pray for, etc.), again feel free. Steve |

507 | Where are today's visions? | Prov 29:18 | srbaegon | 94500 | ||
Hello gbennett76, You are misinterpreting the verse. The point being made is that where God has revealed Himself, there is a rule of law that must be followed. Without the rule of law via revelation, there is lawlessness. This does not mean we need continued revelations, only obedience to that which we have. Steve |
||||||
508 | Where are today's visions? | Prov 29:18 | srbaegon | 94598 | ||
Hello gbennett76, You are usurping the authority of the Scriptures. Because I have visions (albeit historical--bound into one volume), there is restraint. Where these visions are made known, there will be restraint. Steve |

Hello son of god, You point is unclear. Are you saying that Christians are to let falsehood slide in the name of love? Steve |

510 | where do animals go when they expire? | Eccl 3:21 | srbaegon | 191573 | ||
Hello rabban, No person is allowed "to decide what God's word is saying." The written word is what God wanted to say. The difference comes in how each person applies what is said. I will grant that people will each understand a passage differently. That is usually because they are attempting to fit Scripture into a preconceived framework rather than rebuilding the framework based on Scripture. Steve |

511 | At what moment do we go to heaven? | Eccl 12:7 | srbaegon | 155664 | ||
Hello kw5kw, While disbelief and scorn are not called for, neither is equating experiences with God's revealed word. If the experience is contrary to scripture, the message conveyed in the experience must be false because only God is true. Steve |
||||||
512 | At what moment do we go to heaven? | Eccl 12:7 | srbaegon | 155666 | ||
Hello kw5kw, Unbelievers are more open-minded because they come from a worldview that states, "Whatever works for you." That worldview is self-defeating because reason and logic are dismissed. Critical thinking is ejected and replaced with feelings. Rather keep the feelings and the critical thought process. Steve |

513 | At what moment do we go to heaven? | Eccl 12:7 | srbaegon | 155676 | ||
Hello Russ, Yes, Christians tend to be more critical. We (the universal church) have forgotten that we are to deal with our brethren in Christ with patience and gentleness (Romans 14-15 as well as other passages). Steve |

514 | Who is Lucifer/ why was heson of morning | Isaiah | srbaegon | 21018 | ||
Point of clarification......................... No created being, singly or collectively, has omnipresence. This is a divine attribute. They are numerous, not everywhere at once--big difference. I believe it has been pointed out that these antichrists were men, not spirits. I agree. Therefore, one cannot use 1 John 2:18 concerning the number of evil spirits. There are other scriptures that work better (Luke 8:30 for example). Steve |
||||||
515 | Who is Lucifer/ why was heson of morning | Isaiah | srbaegon | 21060 | ||
Your questions................................. * Do you fight against flesh and blood(men) or spirits? Against principalities...powers...spiritual forces in the heavenly places (Eph 6:12) * Do you think satan works alone? No. * Have you studied the locust army? Yes. * Who do you think satan is and wants to be? He is an angel who wants to be God. * Hope this helps. Thanks, but I didn't need help. I was helping you where you were mistaken. Steve |

516 | Isn't Prophecy a Spiritual Gift? | Isaiah | srbaegon | 24349 | ||
Protocol..................................... Casiv, When quoting another it is proper to acknowledge the source. To not cite that your posting came from Bullinger's "How to Enjoy the Bible" is disrespectful--and some would find it deceitful. Steve |
||||||
517 | Isn't Prophecy a Spiritual Gift? | Isaiah | srbaegon | 24387 | ||
Rebuttal..................................... Casiv, Jesus is God--we do not question that. However the Lord has three offices that He fills (as was pointed out). One of those offices is Prophet which was told via Moses in Deut 18:18-19. The proof is in John 4:44 where the term "prophet" is directly attributed to the Lord Jesus as one who would be without honor amongst His people. Steve |

518 | description of lucifer | Isaiah | srbaegon | 227902 | ||
Hello, If I might offer a correction here, we do not know from Scripture who assigned the moniker "light-bearer." We only know that God communicated it through Isaiah. If you have some extra-biblical work that has some historical background that helps, tell on so that we might understand and evaluate it. Steve |

519 | infant death | Is 7:16 | srbaegon | 127569 | ||
Hello DBR, There is no indication from this verse, paragraph, chapter, or book that would indicate an infant would have an opportunity to grow up later. Steve |

520 | infant death | Is 7:16 | srbaegon | 127584 | ||
Hello DBR, Not only logic but Scripture says that the same person who dies will be resurrected. But Scripture also says the body will be different: 1 Cor. 15:35-37 (ESV) But someone will ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?" [36] You foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. [37] And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain. 1 Cor. 15:42-44 (ESV) So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. [43] It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. [44] It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 1 Cor. 15:53 (ESV) For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. The other side of this is: How do you know the child will be given an opportunity to turn to God? My Bible says there is no chance after you die (see Luke 16:19-31). Steve |
