381 | Christ's Passion - how severe? | Is 52:14 | BradK | 114602 | ||
LA101595, Welcome to the Forum. This question also raised my interest in light of The Passion of the Christ. The reference is Isaiah 52:14: "As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:" I hope this helps, BradK |

382 | Is there a scripture to document Jesus h | Is 52:14 | BradK | 119353 | ||
gainros, I've seen The Passion and was impacted by its' graphic- and I believe accurate- depiction of His beating. It brought tears to my eyes- and I'm not one easily moved. We know from Isaiah 52:14 that "...So His appearance was marred more than any man, And His form more than the sons of men." I believe had He been merely a man, He could not have endured such a beating. But, being the God/Man, He took upon Himself, the sins of the world- and endured a beating as no man could. I've never heard of Jesus having a hole pentrating through His entire body, nor do I believe there is any scriptural support for such. I hope this helps, BradK |

383 | Is Isaiah 53:4,5 for today | Is 53:4 | BradK | 168254 | ||
Hello befuddled, The prophecy was written to Israel specifically about her suffering Messiah. Yet, the truth of that prophecy- and it's fulfilment- carry through for us today. It substantiates and validates that Christ was and is the long-awaited and prophesied Messiah. Hence, the lamb of God who takes away (my sin and your sin) the sin of the world.(John 1:29) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

384 | Isaiah 53 Who are they reffering to? | Is 53:5 | BradK | 224532 | ||
Hello eacusa, The question you're asking is rooted in "Who is God's suffering Servant?". The prevailing rabbinic (Jewish) interpretation of Isaiah 53 ascribes the “servant” to the nation of Israel. However, evangelical (Orthodox) Christianity, generally holds it to picture the Messiah's (Jesus) vicarious sufferings. Of verse 2, the Commentary Critical notes, "before him— before Jehovah. Though unknown to the world (Jn 1:11), Messiah was observed by God, who ordered the most minute circumstances attending His growth." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

385 | bruising of Jesus pleasurable? | Is 53:10 | BradK | 154881 | ||
Hi Samantha, The reference your looking for is found in Isaiah 53:10: "But the LORD was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand." As to its' meaning, the Commentary Critical says, " Vs.10. Transition from His humiliation to His exaltation. Pleased the Lord—the secret of His sufferings. They were voluntarily borne by Messiah, in order that thereby He might “do Jehovah’s will” (Jn 6:38; Heb 10:7, 9), as to man’s redemption; so at the end of the verse, “the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.”" I hope this helps, BradK |

386 | What is isaiah 55? | Is 55:1 | BradK | 185058 | ||
Hello Olives, I will assume you're asking for the meaning of Is. 55:1? What we see is the compassion of the Lord. The Bible Knowledge Commentary make this observation: "55:1-2. God invites people in need to come (this word occurs four times in v. 1) to Him. By coming they indicate that they are trusting in and relying on Him for salvation and are agreeing to obey His commandments. The blessings God gives them are available without cost. Salvation is a free gift of God, whether it refers to spiritual redemption or physical deliverance. Probably both are intended here. The Lord asked the people how they could be interested in other things besides Himself as He is the only One who can bring genuine satisfaction. Throughout all history people have tried to find satisfaction through many things other than God." I hope this helps, BradK |

387 | ... | Is 55:11 | BradK | 174749 | ||
Hello Vince, I might start by asking you what prompts your question? I believe the Bible because its' claim to be the Word of God are borne out by one central fact: The Resurrection of Jesus Christ! Jesus claimed that the Word of God was truth (John 17:17) Ours is a Faith founded on Fact. As the apostle Paul wrote: "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures" (1 Cor. 15:3-4) Further, Paul states that, " Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins." (1 Cor. 15:15-17) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

388 | Need OT reference | Is 58:5 | BradK | 194159 | ||
Hello jdroberto, Yes, the passage your eeking is most likely Isaiah 58:5- "Is it a fast like this which I choose, a day for a man to humble himself? Is it for bowing one's head like a reed And for spreading out sackcloth and ashes as a bed? Will you call this a fast, even an acceptable day to the LORD?" I hope this helps, BradK |

389 | Is there a Demon named spider? | Is 59:5 | BradK | 183412 | ||
Dear Jones..., Might I ask what leads you to ask such a question? From Is. 59, the context would indicate that it is dealing with the sins of Israel. The Commentary Critical provides this insight: "spider’s web—This refers not to the spider’s web being made to entrap, but to its thinness, as contrasted with substantial “garments,” as Is 59:6 shows. Their works are vain and transitory (Job 8:14; Pr 11:18)." I see no Biblical "Demon" named spider! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

390 | Trees | Jer 6:6 | BradK | 212342 | ||
Hello Jefferson, I don't think you'll find wording in Jeremiah having anything to do with "not too (sic) cut down trees and decorating them and place them in your home"! The reference you're looking for is most likely, Jer 6:6 - "For thus says the LORD of hosts, "Cut down her trees And cast up a siege against Jerusalem. This is the city to be punished, In whose midst there is only oppression." (NASB) However, the context is speaking about impending disaster for Jerusalem. It is not an injunction against Christmas trees:-) I hope this helps, BradK |

391 | Is education nessecary? | Jer 9:23 | BradK | 186714 | ||
Hello The Cow, Welcome to the Forum! There is nothing in scripture that would tell us directly that God values a formal education. Here's what he does value: "But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." (1 Sam. 16:7 NASB) "Thus says the LORD, "Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things," declares the LORD" (Jer. 9:23-24 NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

393 | Cause of anger in children? | Jer 17:9 | BradK | 174400 | ||
Hi Mandi, Since your question is rather general, it is difficult to answer. Jeremiah 17:9 tells us that, "The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it?" Sin is a disease that affects us all. Without knowing specifics on the child, their background, etc. one would only be taking a stab in the dark. Also, as the intent of this Forum is Bible Study and not counselling or psychology, you may be better directed to your Pastor, or other qualified person. I would seek someone with first-hand knowledge of the situation. I hope this helps, BradK |

394 | meaning of shut up in my bones | Jer 20:9 | BradK | 190007 | ||
Hello Sandra, Here is the verse: "Jer 20:9- But if I say, "I will not remember Him Or speak anymore in His name," Then in my heart it becomes like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; And I am weary of holding it in, And I cannot endure it."(NASB) Without any context, I cannot tell you what this phrase means! You were in prayer, so was this a supposed response to your prayer? Was this an audible voice?, the voice of God?, or spoken in a tongue? Who said this phrase and how was said? I know this, God is not the author of confusion, and He does not speak to us in mystical phrases or incantations. His Word does speak to us as in Heb. 4:12: "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart" Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

395 | speaking Gods word openly | Jer 20:9 | BradK | 190024 | ||
Hello Sandra, You ask, "does it make sense". No, not exactly. I believe that God speaks to us through His Word (Heb. 4;12). That may have been your situation. It is ample and sufficient for us to understand what He says and means. It is Objective. On the other hand, your "statement in my spirit" is not clear and could mean many things. It is Subjective. Prayer is simply communication with God. God's Word is His communication to us. I do not believe that He needs a "prayer language" or tongue to do so. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

dnewland, Could you be more specific? Which scriptures are contradicting Romans 13? Jesus is God!!! What He did was COMPLETELY justified by His Sovereignty and position in the Godhead. Please detail your scriptural argument against this tax situation- if you can. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

398 | fight fire with fire | Jer 34:22 | BradK | 227211 | ||
Hello Legs, No the phrase, "fight fire with fire" is not recorded or originate in scripture! The Origin (source) of this phrase was "actual fire-fighting that was taken on by US settlers in the 19th century. They attempted to guard against grass or forest fires by deliberately raising small controllable fires, which they called 'back-fires', to remove any flammable material in advance of a larger fire and so deprive it of fuel. This literal 'fighting fire with fire' was often successful, although the settlers' lack of effective fire control equipment meant that their own fires occasionally got out of control and made matters worse rather than better." [www.phrases.org.uk/meanings] The closest wording to this phrase verse may be in Jer. 34:22, "Behold, I am going to command,' declares the LORD, 'and I will bring them back to this city; and they will fight against it and take it and burn it with fire; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without inhabitant.'" (NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |

399 | i wanna know how did Jeremiah died? | Jer 44:1 | BradK | 123294 | ||
Bria, According to Easton's Bible Dictionary, "He lived till the reign of Evil-Merodach, son of Nebuchadnezzar, and must have been about ninety years of age at his death. We have no authentic record of his death. He may have died at Tahpanhes, or, according to a tradition, may have gone to Babylon with the army of Nebuchadnezzar; but of this there is nothing certain."

400 | other person sinning | Ezekiel | BradK | 215375 | ||
Hello rajeeb, I believe Gal.6:1-2 speaks to this: "Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ." (NASB) When no other solution avails itself, we can pray for that individual. I hope this helps, BradK |
