261 | david danced | 2 Sam 6:14 | Morant61 | 187904 | ||
Greetings Qhycrme1! Michal certainly said that David disrobed in public: 2 Sam. 6:20, "When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, ‘‘How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, disrobing in the sight of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!”" However, verse 14 makes it clear that he was not naked. 2 Sam. 6:14 - "David, wearing a linen ephod, danced before the LORD with all his might, 15 while he and the entire house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouts and the sound of trumpets." Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Tim! It is nice to have another Tim on board! ;-) I am certainly no expert on the teachings of all of these guys. I was simply responding to the claim that the early church fathers did not believe in free will. These quotes make it clear that they did. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

266 | bible references to divorcees remarrying | Jer 3:1 | Morant61 | 187350 | ||
Greetings Robertie10! First of all, welcome to the forum. :-) Secondly, this is not a good place to get counseling. You should speak with your local pastor. Having said that, there are a couple of verses that deal with your question. Deut. 24:1 says, "If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, 2 and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man, 3 and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, 4 then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the LORD. Do not bring sin upon the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance." Jer. 3:1 says, "‘‘If a man divorces his wife and she leaves him and marries another man, should he return to her again? Would not the land be completely defiled? But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers— would you now return to me?” declares the LORD" These are the only two passages that address remarriage. Apparently, it is only a problem if either spouse has married since the divorce. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

268 | Jesus preached in hell? | 1 Pet 3:19 | Morant61 | 187346 | ||
Greetings Ginger G! No one is really sure what 1 Peter 3:19 means. Some believe that it means that Jesus went to hell during His time in the grave and preached to those there. Others believe that it only means that He went to the paradise side of the grave and preached to the OT saints before resurrecting them. Others believe that it simply means that Christ was preaching to the lost at the time of Noah. Whatever it means, it is clear that it is meant to be an example of God's grace.

269 | what do the seal seals indicate? | Revelation | Morant61 | 187344 | ||
Greetings Precjwl! The main thing that the seven seals indicates is that God is sovereign over the events of the end times. Rev. 5:1 - "Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, ‘‘Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. 4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. 5 Then one of the elders said to me, ‘‘Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”" Note that the scroll is not in the Devil's hands. It is in God's hand and only Christ is worthy of opening it. He and He alone is sovereign over all the events of the last days. This is the message that we often miss from Revelation. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

270 | should all we be speaking tongues aloud | 1 Cor 14:23 | Morant61 | 187198 | ||
Greetings Hodgit! You are exactly right my friend! Scripture specifically states that only two or three should speak, and even then, only one at a time. 1 Cor. 14:26 - "What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church. 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. 28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God." Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

271 | HOW DO I GET GOD TO TALK TO ME TOO!! | Bible general Archive 3 | Morant61 | 186334 | ||
Greetings Katie! The simplest answer is to pray and ask God to speak to you. However, remember that God speaks in many ways. He speaks to us through His word primarily. He speaks to us through other mature believers. He speaks to us through a still small voice. It is much more important to listen to His word than it is to have an experience. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

273 | Is Jesus "equal to god"? | Phil 2:6 | Morant61 | 186313 | ||
Greetings Abeck! Welcome to the forum! First of all, never trust the bible given out by the Jehovah's Witnesses. It is not an actual translation, but a perversion of the text designed to promote their false doctrines. Secondly, Phil. 2:6 certainly does teach that Jesus is equal to God. Here is the NASB translation of this verse: "who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped," Two essential statements are made about Christ in this verse. First of all, He already existed in the form of God. Here is what the Bible Knowledge Commentary says about this verse. *********** 2:6-8. The word translated nature (morpheµ) in verses 6 and 7 is a crucial term in this passage. This word (trans. “form” in the kjv and nasb) stresses the inner essence or reality of that with which it is associated (cf. Mark 16:12). Christ Jesus, Paul said, is of the very essence (morpheµ) of God, and in His incarnation He embraced perfect humanity. His complete and absolute deity is here carefully stressed by the apostle. The Savior’s claim to deity infuriated the Jewish leaders (John 5:18) and caused them to accuse Him of blasphemy (John 10:33). ************* Someone cannot be 'in the form of God' unless He is God. as 'form' refers to His essential nature, not just His appearance. The second essential statement concerns His attitude toward His equality with God. Again, quoting from the Bible Knowledge Commentary: ********** "Though possessing full deity (John 1:14; Col. 2:9), Christ did not consider His equality with God (Phil. 2:6) as something to be grasped or held onto. In other words Christ did not hesitate to set aside His self-willed use of deity when He became a man. As God He had all the rights of deity, and yet during His incarnate state He surrendered His right to manifest Himself visibly as the God of all splendor and glory." ***************** So, contrary to the 'heading' that the Watchtower Organization includes in their 'bible', Phil 2:6 says that Jesus is equal to God and gave that equality up: "but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men." (Phil. 2:7) I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

274 | Translation / Transliteration | Bible general Archive 3 | Morant61 | 186268 | ||
Greetings Cheri! Allow me to use the Greek NT as an example to answer your question. Translation is the process of putting the Greek word into it's English equivalent. For example, the Greek word for Law is 'nomos'. If I were to translate 'nomos' into English I would use the English word 'law'. Transliteration is the process of using English letters to spell a Greek word. For example, we cannot use Greek letters on this web site. So, earlier in the post I said that the Greek word for 'law' is 'nomos'. 'Nomos' is the transliterated Greek word, since I can't actually type the Greek word itself. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

276 | Satan has never been to hell? | Matt 25:41 | Morant61 | 186102 | ||
Greetings Ginger! The point that you are missing is that the Devil is NOT the lord or ruler of Hell. Hell is a place of punishment to which the Devil will be sent in the last days. Consider these Scriptures: 1) Mt. 25:41 - "‘‘Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." 2) Rev. 20:10 - "And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever." If you do a word search for 'Devil' or 'Satan', you will discover that there is not one Scripture that ever says he is the ruler of Hell. I hope this helps! p.s. - He doesn't wear red tights, or have a pitchfork, or have the power to make deals for souls either. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
