You make some very good point's, brother Steve. I don't know if I could disagree with any of them. Well said too! :-) God bless John |

1582 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | stjohn | 208270 | ||
Don't worry Doc, anything I say is usually without context and pretty garbled anyway! Brother Hank has nothing to worry about as far as it being attributed to him, everyone will assume I'm just blabbing my usual drivel.... :-) | ||||||

Hi budderfligh, I'm sorry it took so long to get around to respond, I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you, and just wanted to say, thanks for your thoughts. Shalom and God bless John |

Hi Budderfligh: nope, I didn't include it, although, all scripture is for our benefit. :-) When we see a scripture included in a thread-line, or whatever you call the line of info about a note, a question or an answer, such as username, time, date, etc. it is there from the start of the thread. When we answer a question, we are required to use a scripture from a drop-down menu, or if one scripture does not suit the answer, we can use "New Testament" or "Old Testament" or just "Bible general" from the drop-down menu; but if we are just posting a question or a note, it's not required to do so; but the original scripture reference from the original answer in that particular thread, just stays in the thread-line. I hope that helped and I didn't just muddy the water for you? Shalom and God bless, Budderfligh. John |

1585 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | stjohn | 208304 | ||
Dear Lookn... You say; "I do not think one can contend that it was in her nature to disobey God, that is, to sin. It was in her nature to make choices." Well. in that case; she chose to disobey God. That is a sin. You also say; "Finally, that God knew she would transgress did not make its occurrence necessary or inevitable." So you agree that she transgressed? Easton's Bible Dictionary Sin is, "any want of conformity unto or [transgression] of the law of God" -- [brackets] are mine for emphasis God said not to do it, that makes it a law of God, that makes doing it, a sin. Not necessary, or inevitable? I doubt very much that anyone can successfully contend that it was not part of God's plan. The good news is, of course; God has made a way for us to get out of the mire and bondage of sin, and live! John 3:16 And now I leave you with this 'edited' message from Hank, (Thanks Hank!) which is a mirror of my own thoughts on this subject. Shalom and God bless John “I lay no claim whatever to any expertise on matters involving High Theology or anything of the kind, so I'm fairly well limited when it comes to trying to connect the dots. And that is good! It forces me to attempt to speak only where the Bible speaks and to keep my mouth shut where the Bible is silent. I have enough trouble learning and digesting what the Bible clearly reveals, and so it leaves me no time to speculate and ruminate on the things which our loving and all-wise Father chose not to elaborate. God's eternal and unchanging word will be around long after I'm gone. Few indeed are they who care about my opinions now and fewer still will remember them after I've gone. So my candid view about questions such as call for speculations is this: If God did not choose to reveal details, is it our business to worry very much about them? I really don't believe that God expects us to fill in the blanks ourselves nor needs man to take over where He left off, do you? Just how important is it to know about such things? The narrative has endured and imparted the message it was intended to impart for centuries as it is, without being gussied up with all these minute frills and details. Let's be content to learn from it all that it clearly reveals without tarnishing the sacred record by adding our worthless speculation and groundless guesses.” –Hank |

1587 | Which commandment was he talking about? | 1 Tim 6:14 | stjohn | 201914 | ||
Dear SON; I'd just like to second what Doc has said to you, along with Sister Azure's amen; and also add that, you will find, I'm sure (though we certainly are not perfect) that this forum is different from others that you may have participated in. Many, indeed most, of the regulars here truly strive to keep this place (in compliance with our gracious hosts, Terms Of Use) in the spirit of Christian love, a haven for those who love His Word and want to express love and devotion to one-another as well as to our Lord Jesus in our study of his Blessed Word, together, brothers and sisters, in Christ. Too that, I will add a warm welcome! God bless John |

Dear Talchapy; These are the words of Matthew Henry not yours, that is what is called plagiarism and it is like stealing and that is a sin, please give credit where credit is due. There is nothing inherently wrong with quoting others but we should always give them the credit, otherwise we are just putting on airs, showing off, and trying to look like we are something we are not. God bless John |

1591 | why are we told to work | 2 Tim 2:15 | stjohn | 196153 | ||
Hi Romans, Welcome to the forum. Good post! but it doesn't seem to be your work, plagiarism is not something we as Christians should do my friend, and by the way, it's a sin. There is nothing wrong with posting sound Biblical answers from the web, but we should let it be known that the work is someone else's and not our own. God bless John |

Bless you my friend! I'm happy to see you are living up to your handle. Confession is good, yes? I hope you stay around for a while. :-) John |

Dear Sister Val, First I'd like to say that I appreciate your participation here at the forum, and I hope I speak for all the members. For the most part you seem to really strive to help those who come here with questions and are trying to understand God's word. Now I would like to point out, if I may, that It has come to my attention by careful observation that some who come here, however, are just trying to get out of working and doing their own reading to learn and know the scriptures; and, that the wiser of the members here do not encourage such lazybones for their irresponsibility by doing their homework. I have taken this practice, of not encouraging them, to heart, by following the lead of these wiser members, and I hope you will too. Of course, on the one hand we can sometimes not be sure when someone is cheating, but on the other hand, sometimes, it is quite obvious, as in the case of our most recent visitor. I know this is not a rule, but I hope we can agree that it's the responsible and loving thing to do, when we encourage them to do their own reading. I don't know if you have children, but do you suppose that a parent would want someone to do their children's homework for them? Do you think our Father wants us to show these ones that it pays to be lazy? Thank you Sister. God bless John |

Dear Tam; I'm not looking for that phraseology but Scripture that would support it. Sorry, probably my fault, I thought my question was clear. Thanks anyway. Shalom and God bless John |

Dear Tamara: By the way, FYI I have blueletterbible, esward, biblegatway, crosswalk, just to name a few, bookmarked, and am certainly not averse to doing the footwork, no problem sticking my nose in the books ether, and do so for hours on end, but thought someone may have something off the top of their head. Thanks again. Shalom and God Bless John |

Dear Tam: Once again I'm not looking for that phraseology or advice on how to study, but just asking for a little help finding Scriptures that cover or give support to that theme. Thanks for the encouragement though. Shalom and God bless John |

1597 | Is NASB better than other translations? | 2 Tim 2:15 | stjohn | 211997 | ||
Me too, Lionheart, I have an NIV study Bible, and an NASB Ryrie study Bible Expanded Edition, and don't know which I like the best. But also there is something about the good old KJV that draws me back to it too, from time to time, It's just so beautifully written, and very poetic. | ||||||

1599 | Holy Spirit convicts of sin? | 2 Tim 2:15 | stjohn | 215052 | ||
Hi stars, Sorry about my previous post. You can disregard my question if you like. The rightness that is spoken of in the verse in question, is not our own, but that of Christ. We are not righteous, righteousness is inputed to us in Christ. Here too are some thoughts from Matthew Henry that may help. "The Spirit convinces of the fact of sin; of the fault of sin; of the folly of sin; of the filth of sin, that by it we are become hateful to God; of the fountain of sin, the corrupt nature; and lastly, of the fruit of sin, that the end thereof is death. The Holy Spirit proves that all the world is guilty before God. He convinces the world of righteousness; that Jesus of Nazareth was Christ the righteous. Also, of Christ's righteousness, imparted to us for justification and salvation." The workings of the Holy Spirit are, many-fold, in the life of the believer. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." Gal 5:22-23 "And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God." Rom 8:23-27 John |

1600 | Holy Spirit convicts of sin? | 2 Tim 2:15 | stjohn | 215059 | ||
Hi stars, It sounds like you have already made up your mind and, are looking for someone to agree with you... sorry All sin is utterly heinous to God. So if indeed you have sinned, (as you have said, so by your own admission, you have) you should feel guilty. And yes, that would be the Holy Spirit convicting you of your sin. But the up side is, if you take your sin to Jesus and, are truly sorry for your sin, He is faithful and true to forgive you of your sin. Unconfined sin, is like a cancer, it will eat away at you. So be sure that you have taken your sin to the Lord with, a penitent heart. And then, let it go. Be careful though, if you have already done this, sometimes the devil or even our own deceitful hearts will, try to beat us over the head with sin, sin that Jesus (God) has already forgiven, so as to steel away our joy and, thus, our effectiveness. I've been there many times, and it is very often difficult to let old sins go. But also, it maybe isn't so bad to be reminded of them sometimes, so we can be reminded of His forgiveness. Psalm 51 John |
