1901 | joshua? | Matt 1:21 | Hank | 34343 | ||
JMSCOTT: Jesus in the Hebrew tongue is rendered Yehoshua and means "Jehovah Saves." Jesus was God; thus our Savior. I don't understand the point of your questions. Perhaps you already have answers, so why don't you tell me what the point is that you may wish to make. --Hank | ||||||

Hank: In a log cabin (soon to have indoor plumbing and electricity) in Fort Smith, Arkansas! Go, Razorbacks! | ||||||
1903 | The origin of life | Genesis | Hank | 34260 | ||
JK316: The creation account is given in Genesis 1 and 2. Evolution is totally foreign to the Bible. Of flora and fauna the Bible says in these first chapters of Genesis that they will reproduce "after their kind." The Bible says absolutely nothing about how old the earth is. --Hank | ||||||
1904 | REASON FOR THE NAME OF JESUS | Matt 1:21 | Hank | 34229 | ||
OLDSCHOOL: The answer to your question is in Matthew 1:21. Jesus (Joshua) means "Savior." --Hank | ||||||

JMSCOTT: Your definition of Scripture -- just what is it? The English word "scripture" comes from the Latin noun "scriptum": thing written, and the Latin verb "scribere": to write. Scripture is a generic word meaning something written. The word is usually capitalized when it is used to refer to the Holy Scriptures, i.e., the Bible. The books of the Old Testament are inspired writings. So are the books of the New Testament. Using our definition of scripture, "something written," the books of both the Old and New Testament are something written, or scripture. If both the Old and New Testaments are inspired of God, as they proclaim themselves to be, they are "something written" that is holy and sacred. They are therefore the Holy Scriptures or the Sacred Scriptures. The reason Jesus referred to the Old Testament writings when he used the word "Scriptures" is obvious; but He in so doing did not negate the fact that the writings that we know as the New Testament are any less inspired than those of the Old Testament. Your last sentence, by the way, in addition to being ambiguous (who is the antecedent of "he" -- Paul or Jesus?), begs scriptural corrobration. --Hank | ||||||
1906 | New Testament...God speaks to anyone | Rom 16:25 | Hank | 34098 | ||
A Disciple: The truly salient questions are these: (a) Has God spoken or communicated with mankind? (b) If He has, how has He done it? (c) When has He done it? (d) To whom and through whom has He done it? (e) Why has He done it? All of these questions are discussed and answered in the first two chapters of Hebrews. --Hank | ||||||
1907 | Visit other churches? | Rom 16:16 | Hank | 33974 | ||
Charis, my wife and I in the last five years have visited only two other churches, both of a different communion from our own, one Roman Catholic and the other Presbyterian. We went to a Christmas mass at the Catholic church with our daughter and son-in-law, he being Catholic. We attended a funeral service of a friend that was held in a Presbyterian church. I can think of no particularly good reason to visit other churches with any great frequency unless one has a special reason for being there or is for some reason dissatisfied with his home church and is shopping around to find another. A person's allegiance should be to the congregation of which he is a member. He should support it with his presence, his service, and his money. The church needs him. The church should support him in teaching, in fellowship and in godly counsel. He needs the church...... So, now, dear brother Charis, we await the answer to the inevitable question, "Why do you ask?" --Hank | ||||||

A Disciple: So, what is your question? --Hank | ||||||
1909 | ex.20 verse3-6 apply to indian belief | Exodus | Hank | 33864 | ||
Denise, verses 3-6 of Exodus 20 that prohibit having any gods before the true God and forbid the making of any carved images, apply universally to all peoples and to every age. --Hank | ||||||
1910 | how can the marriage be taught to all | Ruth | Hank | 33659 | ||
Risingstar: As one who has taught classes composed of both genders of all age groups with widely varying backgrounds and life situations, I see no problem in presenting the book of Ruth for exactly what it is: one of the supremely great and beloved pieces of world literature with rich and enduring spiritual lessons. No matter what the student's marital status, the exquisite beauty of the book is not diminished nor its lessons less valuable. Ruth, not unlike the other 65 books of the Bible, is a book for all times and for all peoples. No one is, and should ever feel, excluded from any of the eternal riches of the word of God. --Hank | ||||||
1911 | Why new? What was the old? | John 13:34 | Hank | 33600 | ||
Rdagelet: The commandment to love one another was not a new commandment. See Lev.19:18. where the standard is "as yourself." But Jesus' standard, making it a new commandment, is "love one another, even as I have loved you." To love as sacrifically as Jesus did is what makes it a new commandment. --Hank | ||||||
1912 | How many years from Adam / Eve to Jesus? | Genesis | Hank | 33545 | ||
Chynna: (1) The number of years from Adam to Jesus is unknown. (2) Daniel was active throughout the reign of Nebuchadnezzar (604-562 BC); thus he lived some 600 years before the coming of Jesus the Messiah to earth. --Hank | ||||||
1913 | The measure of death? | 1 Tim 4:1 | Hank | 33495 | ||
Charis, astute observations! Frankly, God hardly prepared me to be the final arbiter for my own salvation. He alone is. So much the less has He given to me the right or the capacity to know what my brother's true relationship with Him is. So grievously I would err to say, "I KNOW so-and-so is saved because of this or that outward appearance." Or conversely, "I KNOW that this other so-and-so is not saved because of this or that outward appearance." If I do this, am I not, wittingly or unwittingly, subscribing to the "fifth" gospel, The Gospel According to the Pharisees? I shall never be able to view my neighbor with God's eyes. I should therefore never judge my neighbor with God's judgment. --Hank | ||||||
1914 | Is God's Word Complete ? | Rev 22:18 | Hank | 32938 | ||
Hello, Robert. Greetings from the land down under! I'm not in Australia but Arkansas, and that is down under Canada :-).... Robert, there can be no doubt that the OT and NT canons are closed for all eternity. Jude 3 speaks in unambiguous language about the subject, using the words "once for all delivered to the saints" in speaking of the faith. I believe that the Scriptures reveal God in the exact manner that God has willed to reveal himself. Accordingly, I believe that no one today is the recipient of any special, extra-biblical revelation from God, and that anyone who proclaims that God has made him privy to any such revelation is a false teacher. Hebrews begins with the declaration that in times past God spoke through prophets but in these last days has spoken to us through His Son, and the Scriptures testify of God's Son, Jesus Christ. In summation: The canon is closed; the Scriptures are complete; claims to extra-biblical revelation are heretical. --Hank | ||||||
1915 | Is there a difference in being baptized | Acts 2:38 | Hank | 32919 | ||
Dear savedbygrace: Look to your user name: saved by grace! We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. It is the gift of God. (Ephesians 2:8). If you were baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, were you not baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (the Son)? But, again, regeneration is by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is He, not the water of baptism, who has the power to save. --Hank | ||||||

1918 | Difference between Catholic and Baptist? | Bible general Archive 1 | Hank | 32756 | ||
Richard1, I happen to be a member of a conservative Southern Baptist congregation and would offer the "Baptist Faith and Message" as being representative of the Baptist viewpoints on vital scriptural issues. Of course, it should be a knowledgeable Roman Catholic who expounds on the tenets of that faith. The crucial question, however, is not what Baptists believe or Catholics believe, but what the Scriptures teach. We get nowhere, really, in comparing one faith with another and disputing our differences back and forth. Growth and progress come only when we test what we believe against what the word of God teaches AND BE WILLING TO CONFORM OUR MIND-SET TO THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD wherever necessary. When we find ourselves unprepared and ill-equipped to present an effective apology for our faith, it is time to go back to the drawing board and re-examine our faith in the light of Scripture so that we shall always be ready to make a defense for the hope that is in us, yet with gentleness and reverence. (See 1 Peter 3:15). --Hank | ||||||
1919 | Mark 13: 32-37 | Mark 13:32 | Hank | 32734 | ||
Chynna, our Lord in this passage is clearly speaking of His second coming, not of human death. "That day" in Mark 13:32 is an Old Testament expression for the day of the appearance of the Lord (see Amos 8:3,9,13 and 9:11; Mic.4:6, 5:10, 7:11). Look back at v.26: "Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with power and great glory." This is a reference to Christ's second coming. (See also Mark 8:38; 2 Thess.1:6-10; Rev.19:11-16). --Hank | ||||||
1920 | Proverbs ,wisdom,and growth? | Ps 111:10 | Hank | 32697 | ||
Hello, Ezra. If I should say that my reading of the book of Proverbs has made me infinitely wise, I would be a fool. But as I make my way along the path and endeavor to grow in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, now and then I have occasion to reflect and to make some effort to measure my progress. And though I see always room for improvement, I also am keenly aware that the person I am now, a regenerate child of the King, has been changed -- really changed -- from the person I was before knowing Christ -- and would have continued to be without knowing Him. So, in the years since that day more than 50 years ago, the book of Proverbs and all 65 other books of God's word combined with it, have had and continue to have a profound influence on my life, my worldview, and, most assuredly, my eternal destiny. --Hank | ||||||
