1362 | Knowledge of why they are in torment? | Luke | stjohn | 196557 | ||
Hi Cheri, I hope you don't mind my saying that I think Chuck has made a very good point in asking the question; "Do you think there is something mystical about the 24 books of Tanach that would make it more accurate then the translations we have available to us today such as NASB?" -- It does seem to raise a good question, i.e. why not just use the more easily understood terms, Old, and New Testament? Many of the people coming to the forum for enlightenment of God's word, do not always have the knowledge of such terms, and Cheri, forgive me for saying, but it does perhaps give the impression of piety, even maybe a bit of pomp. I know you would not want to give that impression, to those that are, perhaps not as learned. God bless John |

1363 | Knowledge of why they are in torment? | Luke | stjohn | 196555 | ||
Hi Chuck, Just my 2 cents; The context of luke 16 seems to make it pretty clear, that the rich man knew where he was, and, why he was there. He had a conversation with Abraham; he must have understood who he was and also Abraham's relationship with God, as they also spoke of Moses, and the prophets, (Prophets of God) and he pleaded with Abraham to warn his brothers, that they would not come to the same fate. It seems clear, that he knew very well where he was, and why he was in his torment. God bless John |

Dear Val, Could you please give the name, or a link to, the website you mentioned, with the excellent Precept bible study on John? I would appreciate it very much, thank you. :-) God bless John |

1366 | how much water allowed the ark to float? | Gen 1:1 | stjohn | 196476 | ||
Dear TC, You stated, "No theory about the past is provable" first of all I don't believe that statement, it is far to broad, and impossible to qualify, but that is a topic that would take up more room then this modem of communication can provide. I have been to those websites that you recommend, and have read pretty much all they have to offer, and though, they may be, "informative, fascinating, and entertaining," those are not qualities I would necessarily recommend perusing, to any 'serious' Bible student, thank you. Notwithstanding, please, chapter and verse? Study Bible Forum is a 'Scripture' based Bible study. Much rambling can, and does, add confusion. By the way sir, the thread you were answering is from 2001, I would say that any, 'bogging down', that, that thread would do, has been long ago done. If you must, you may have the last word on this mater, I have said my peace, please, read the terms of use carefully, and consider them prayerfully. God bless John |

1367 | how much water allowed the ark to float? | Gen 1:1 | stjohn | 196470 | ||
Dear TC, The scenario, of the flood you put forth is interesting. but , this is a Scripture based, Bible study. So, pardon me please, but would you provide us with chapter and verse for that scenario? If not, could you please keep your answers, 'Scriptural'? By the way; the theory you presented, is not provable, ether by, Scripture, or History, or science. And, by the way, you stated that the earth was falter before the flood? What then do we make of these verses? Gen 7:19 The water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains everywhere under the heavens were covered. 20 The water prevailed fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered. I kinda like what Lincoln said; " it is better to be thought of as a fool, then to open ones mouth and remove all doubts." In the future, please, study the Scriptures before you answer, many of us take the "privilege" of posting here on the Forum, very seriously. Thank you. God bless John |

1368 | Does separation from God mean no love? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 196398 | ||
Hi Scooter, Well, the things you mention as being "mixed" with love, are not love. The later three, they are emotions; now that's not to say that love does not evoke emotion, man, does it ever! But the love that is being spoken of in the Bible, is not the kind of love you would normaly mix with those negative kinds of emotions, envy, greed, jealousy, etc. and, "perversion" is another issue altogether, perversion stems form a desire to have un-biblical or, i.e. sex outside of the guidelines set-forth by God, that is also a part of what is called erotic love, or Eros, I think in greek, that is not love, that is a misunderstanding that man has adopted, and is quite popular, [unfortunately]; what that is, is lust! Agape love, which is pure love, cannot be experienced apart from God. Here is something els that may help you. God bless John : Easton's Bible Dictionary LOVE This word seems to require explanation only in the case of its use by our Lord in his interview with "Simon, the son of Jonas," after his resurrection (John 21:16, 17). When our Lord says, "Lovest thou me?" he uses the Greek word _agapas_; and when Simon answers, he uses the Greek word _philo_, i.e., "I love." This is the usage in the first and second questions put by our Lord; but in the third our Lord uses Simon's word. The distinction between these two Greek words is thus fitly described by Trench:, "_Agapan_ has more of judgment and deliberate choice; _philein_ has more of attachment and peculiar personal affection. Thus the 'Lovest thou' (Gr. agapas) on the lips of the Lord seems to Peter at this moment too cold a word, as though his Lord were keeping him at a distance, or at least not inviting him to draw near, as in the passionate yearning of his heart he desired now to do. Therefore he puts by the word and substitutes his own stronger 'I love' (Gr. philo) in its room. A second time he does the same. And now he has conquered; for when the Lord demands a third time whether he loves him, he does it in the word which alone will satisfy Peter ('Lovest thou,' Gr. phileis), which alone claims from him that personal attachment and affection with which indeed he knows that his heart is full." In 1 Corinthians 13 the apostle sets forth the excellency of love, as the word "charity" there is rendered in the Revised Version. |

1369 | Explain Godhead Trinity? | Luke 3:22 | stjohn | 196296 | ||
Hi Chuck, That is interesting, although John 1:3, makes it quite clear that, all things came into being through and by the Word, who is God and the Light of men, Jesus Christ. But that he is the Judge, or should I say the only, may be a bit ambiguous, because 1 Pet 2:23 seems to imply that jesus' judgeship may not be exclusive... "and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously;" perhaps we should say, all three persons having the attributes, would all then be apt to judge righteously? Just a thought. I hope you, or someone, can add something to my understanding. God bless John |

Azure, At any age, not an answer you would expect from one who is, not thinking with an active and clear mind. Good thinking for a child, as the saying goes, from the mouthes of babes' comes the wisdom of the aged. perhaps their silence reveled your, childish wisdom? By the way, I hear although dog is, a bit greasy, the flavor is, surprisingly delicate.... Shalom Dear Sister |

1375 | How does God handle a backslider? | Luke 15:24 | stjohn | 196254 | ||
Cheri, It's not I but the Lord who blesses, my feet are clay, so as the Lord speaks to us through the prophet; "But as soon as they had rest, they did evil again before You; Therefore You abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they ruled over them. When they cried again to You, You heard from heaven, And many times You rescued them according to Your compassion, Neh 9:28 Perhaps this happens to more Christians that don't care to admit it then we may think? It happened to me, hows bout you? ;-) Bless you sis! |

1376 | What is the reason God is speaking of ? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 196226 | ||
He hates it. Even when it is justified. In his reveled nature, He would prefer it if restitution is sought and attained. God is a restorer of things, it is His will that none should perish, "and the two became one flesh," Type the word [restore] in the get Bible text search word(s): box, and see how many times it comes up in Scripture. Then read all 116 verses. God bless John |

1379 | Fellowship with God or man? | Acts 2:42 | stjohn | 196214 | ||
Dear Mrs. Dean, The Lord would surly give you special dispensation in your situation if it were a sin, I don't believe it is by the way. Your circumstances are indeed special, perhaps it's the Lord himself prompting you to stay home and take care of and fellowship with your beloved husband. Although in the verse in question you asked if it were fellowship with man or God, I think both are true, as He is in us. It does specifically refer to man, but when we gather surely He is there. My friend, you are a dear child of God, as is your Husband, stay home and take care of him. "There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven" Eccl 3:1 God bless John |

Thanks JRM, it makes sense when you say it like that, In fact somewhere in the cobwebs of my alleged mind, I seem to remember hearing, or reading that before. :-) God bless John |
