701 | What are the teachings of these things | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 187952 | ||
yowege - How much information are you looking for on these isms? If a scant definition is all you want, a Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary will give you that. If you want a bit more, try Google by doing this: type in the box the words... define: Platonism ...... Then do the same for the remaining terms. If this is not enough, your library will have whole books devoted to these topics. ..... But Study Bible Forum, being dedicated only to matters that pertain directly to Scripture, is not the place to do research on philosophy or other secular subjects. --Hank | ||||||

703 | Am I still Married "in God's eyes"? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 189673 | ||
ChristianMom123 - Your post ends with the question, "What should I do?" ..... Even though there is little doubt that a number of registrants and readers of his Forum emphathize with your situation and would like to help, the reality is that there are only three things that members of this Forum can do for you. The first is to pray for you and your family. The second is to urge you to seek counsel from your pastor or other qualifed Christian counselor. The third is to attempt to diagnose your situation on this web site and give you a lot of confusing and conflicting advice, without having ever met you or your estranged husband, and knowing absolutely nothing about your situation except the meager sketch you gave in your question. ....... I BELIEVE that your post will indeed evoke the prayers of many Christian readers of these pages. I RECOMMEND that you seek personal counsel in your church or community. And I strong URGE you not to seek resolution of your complex problem on this or any other web site. ...... We are a Forum dedicated to the study of the Bible, but we are not set up to give specific, personal, one-on-one counsel. On any public forum you are likely to get all kinds of advice, some of it -- maybe most of it -- bad. And bad advice is worse than no advice at all! .... So, please, seek help from qualified folks in your community. Don't let this thing drag on. For your sake, the man's sake, and above all, your children's sake, seek local help. And I'll be praying for you and feel sure others on the Forum will too. God be with you. --Hank | ||||||

705 | how did peter die | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 192453 | ||
The Bible does not tell us how or when the apostle Peter died, Nevah, neither does history. All we have to go on is a tradition which says that he was crucified upside down. About your second question having to do with Mary, the mother of Jesus, there is nothing in Scripture to indicate that she "went to heaven in spirit and body" -- by which I assume you are asking whether she ascended in like manner as her Son. --Hank | ||||||
706 | What is the Ending to Preterism view? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 193130 | ||
Hello, Cheri (skccab) - This post, in a conscious effort to differ from "too much reading and too much bouncing around" that you report experiencing in your research, will attempt to do three things in the briefest manner possible: (1) to give the basic thesis of the preterist view of eschatology, (2) to name its major advocates, and (3) to evaluate its teaching. ........ (1) The core premise of the preterist view is that the book is concerned with the events of the first century and those alone; thus, all the events described in the Revelation were fulfilled centuries ago, perhaps during the time of Nero or Domitian. (2) Preterism was developed by the Jesuits and is still held by many in the Roman Catholic Church and by a few Protestants. (3) Espousal of the preterist view reduces the book of Revelation to very little more than a book of antiquity without a message for our time or for any other time later than the first century A. D. -- nothing more than a curious relic. This view therefore throws the Book of Revelation out of harmony with the rest of Scripture, engenders serious interpretative enigmas, causes more problems than it solves, and raises many questions while answering virtually none. --Hank | ||||||
707 | How Old was John? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 194011 | ||
mae68 - Evidently you are asking about a book that the apostle John wrote, but which? --Hank | ||||||
708 | How Old was John? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 194137 | ||
mae68 - Your question concerns the apostle John's age when he wrote the three epistles bearing his name, as you made have clear in a subsequent post. The precise age of the apostle at the time of writing is unknown, although strong and early testimony of the church ascribes John as the author, and the date of writing circa 85-90 A.D. Consistent church tradition identifies John in his advanced age as living and writing in Ephesus in Asia Minor. Internal evidence in the three epistles supports the advanced age tradition, for he refers to his readers as "little children" and to himself as "The Elder." So it's fairly certain that John was no spring chicken when he wrote the epistles. --Hank | ||||||
709 | Chronological bible? | NT general | Hank | 194555 | ||
Michael :: According to information published in John MacArthur's Study Bible, Paul wrote Ephesians while a prisoner in Rome sometime between A.D. 60 and 62. He wrote Titus between A. D. 62 and 64 from either Corinth or Nicopolis. --Hank | ||||||
710 | INVITATION | NT general | Hank | 199932 | ||
Hi, Sandra :: I am a Baptist and belong to a local church that is a Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) church. What you have described is foreign to the practices of the church of which my wife and I are members. But there are, as you may know, a number of communions that call themselves Baptists and their doctrines and practices often vary widely. Unfortunately, there is an extreme diversity among modern Baptists and thus the moniker "Faith Baptist Church" doesn't give us much to go on I'm afraid. So I would hesitate to comment further unless you are able and wish to supply additional information that might serve to "pin down" just what this church teaches and whether it is a totally independent local church or attaches itself to one of the many different denominational branches that have the word "Baptist" as part of their name. Sanda, are you absolutely sure that the information you were given about three elders deciding whether a candidate for church membership was saved accurately represents the doctrinal position of this church? Is this Faith Baptist by any chance a congregation of the Primitive Baptists? --Hank | ||||||

713 | Scripturally how can we argue? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 199263 | ||
Dear M. Sinapen :: Welcome to Study Bible Forum. I don't know how it is with the Tamil language in which you minister, but in contemporary English the line of distinction between argue and quarrel is not nearly so sharp at it should be. We tend to use argue when we mean quarrel, but the two words have separate and distinct meanings. Traditionally to argue meant to present one's case logically and reasonably, as in a court of law. To quarrel, on the other hand, denoted a sense of the bellicose, of agitated disputation, of divisiveness. The NASB translation presents a number of usages of both argue and quarrel, and in order to get a sense of how it uses these words in context, I'd suggest you use the NASB concordance provided on the right side of this page, typing in the words argue (or argument) and quarrel, respectively. Scripture does not condemn using sound argument, insofar as I've been able to determine, although it does speak against quarreling. There is a branch of Christian theology called polemics that is devoted to the refutation of errors, and how else does one do that but by presenting an argument for his case from Scripture itself? One should never let false teaching slip by without reproof and rebuke, out of fear that somehow to do so is unchristian, because it is not. But it ought to be done with great patience, as the Scripture says. See 2 Timothy 4:2. A good way, it seems to me, to tell whether we're presenting a solid argument for our case based on reason, or merely giving vent to heated emotion, as one often does in quarreling, is to gauge the reaction to our speech by Proverbs 15:1: "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." ..... It's delightful to have you on Study Bible Forum. I enjoyed reading in your personal profile about the work you are engaged in. --Hank | ||||||

715 | When did creation occur? | Genesis | Hank | 30321 | ||
Hi, pgs! At age 12, you may be the youngest person on the forum! Genesis 1:1, the very first verse in all the Bible, tells us that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. But the Bible never tells how long ago that was, so your guess at age 12 is as good as mine. Now I won't tell you how old I am, but I was born 54 years before you were! It's good to see that you at your young age have an interest in God's word. Keep it up! God bless you. --Hank | ||||||
716 | Question about Genesis 6:6 | Genesis | Hank | 32629 | ||
Chynna, God did see fit to provide for the preservation and propagation of the animal kingdom through the instrument of Noah's ark. I am keenly aware that this may not fully answer your question about why all the other animals perished except the pairs (seven of some) of animals that rode out the flood in the safety of the ark. God makes it clear, however, why he destroyed all mankind except Noah and his family. There are two things that may be said of God: (1) He is sovereign: He is in total, absolute, and final control of His creation. (2) He is transcendent: Nothing can be compared to the Mighty God, nothing surpasses Him, including our human reason. --Hank | ||||||
717 | 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 | ||||||
718 | 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 | ||||||
719 | where did cain get a lady to marry? | Genesis | Hank | 35276 | ||
Mugambi: Your full question was: Where did Cain and Abel get ladies to marry? Well, Cain obviously married a descendent of his parents. And the question about Abel is not so much about whom he married as who his undertaker was. --Hank | ||||||
720 | Genesis,chapters1-4:True accounts or not | Genesis | Hank | 35691 | ||
fredcs, good day! Modern man has found himself always "between Scylla and Charybdis" as Homer put it -- we call it "between the devil and the deep blue sea" -- when it comes to trying to prove or disprove the creation account of Genesis. Believers and non-believers alike have attempted to prove their positions by science. Both have fallen short of proof. One of the problems that has confronted both believer and skeptic when they have tried to base their proof upon scientific evidence is that science is not eternal truth. It is a demonstrable fact that the only constant of science is change. In the 17th century Dr. William Harvey, by feeling his pulse while in a hot bath, educed that arteries carry blood. Galileo, by holding his pulse while watching a swinging cathedral lamp, evolved a theory that made clocks possible. Not many years ago it was common to believe that a speed of 30 miles an hour in those new-fangled 'horseless carriages' (early automobiles) would do permanent damage to the human body -- they were talking about the speed itself, not the possibility of accident. It has not been far back in the history of the world when the printing press, airplanes, radio, television, and the computer/internet, to name but a few of modern 'miracles,' were unheard of. Much of what was considered scientific truth in ancient times, or even a decade ago, has now been debunked. And what is considered the orthodox science of today will likely become the fables of tomorrow...... It is an interesting thing about myths and legends. They are generally based on, or borrowed and copied after, something that mirrows truth. The mere fact that a number of ancient legends about creation bear in some respect a resemblance to the Genesis account of creation suggests that they could, in fact, be borrowed and copied from the genuine. It has been suggested, and not without merit, that the main reason the Bible has been so severely scrutinized and maligned for centuries is because it is the genuine article. If it were not so, if it were obviously fake, who would go to the trouble to try to disprove it? It is because the Bible is true, and because for sinful human beings truth is so often painful, that man has, time and time again, set out to bring it to shame and discredit. The Bible puts an uncomfortable wrinkle in the garment of secular humanism that is the chic apparel of our time. Yet even now in this year of our Lord 2002, the word of our Lord stands firm. Neither philosophy nor science, folklore nor legend, or sage nor fool, has ever proved a word of it untrue. A sure prophecy is they never will. --Hank | ||||||
