1521 | no redemption without shedding of blood | Heb 9:22 | Morant61 | 20998 | ||
Greetings Truthstudent! I believe you are looking for Heb. 9:22: "In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

1522 | What does dying once mean figuratively? | Heb 9:27 | Morant61 | 21146 | ||
Response...................................... Greetings Sir! Here is my take on Heb. 9:27! Heb. 9:27 gives us a general statement of the normal process at the end of life - death, then judgement. Resurrections are miracles. Miracles, be definition, are interruptions of natural processes. So, those who have been resurrected simply start the process over again. They will die and then be judged. Thus, Heb. 9:27 is literally true, but can be interrupted by a miracle! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

1523 | "time" not italicized in Heb 9:28 | Heb 9:28 | Morant61 | 201917 | ||
Greetings Rigunsmith! Some Greek words, used in a phrase, have a meaning somewhat different from the sum of their parts. In this case, 'ek deuterou' literally means 'second time'. It is used 6 times in the New Testament in this fashion. The occurrences are found in: Mt. 26:42, Mark 14:72, John 9:24, Acts 10:15, Acts 11:9, and Heb. 9:28. That is why 'ek' is not translated and 'time' is not italicized - the two together mean 'second time'. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

1524 | no sacrifice for sins left? | Heb 10:26 | Morant61 | 145046 | ||
Greetings JesusGirl! To put it in simple terms, it simply means that if one rejects Christ's atoning sacrifice then there is no other sacrifice that can save. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

1525 | Heb.10:26 | Heb 10:26 | Morant61 | 193829 | ||
Greetings Bream925! One could make the case that most, if indeed not all, sin is willful. Yet, as Christians, we are given the great promise of 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." However, Heb. 10:26 seems to be speaking about a much different issue. Here is what Clarke had to say about this verse: "For if we sin wilfully - If we deliberately, for fear of persecution or from any other motive, renounce the profession of the Gospel and the Author of that Gospel, after having received the knowledge of the truth so as to be convinced that Jesus is the promised Messiah, and that he had sprinkled our hearts from an evil conscience; for such there remaineth no sacrifice for sins; for as the Jewish sacrifices are abolished, as appears by the declaration of God himself in the fortieth Psalm, and Jesus being now the only sacrifice which God will accept, those who reject him have none other; therefore their case must be utterly without remedy. This is the meaning of the apostle, and the case is that of a deliberate apostate - one who has utterly rejected Jesus Christ and his atonement, and renounced the whole Gospel system. It has nothing to do with backsliders in our common use of that term. A man may be overtaken in a fault, or he may deliberately go into sin, and yet neither renounce the Gospel, nor deny the Lord that bought him. His case is dreary and dangerous, but it is not hopeless; no case is hopeless but that of the deliberate apostate, who rejects the whole Gospel system, after having been saved by grace, or convinced of the truth of the Gospel. To him there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin; for there was but the One, Jesus, and this he has utterly rejected." I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

1526 | stigmata? | Heb 11:26 | Morant61 | 117975 | ||
Greetings Asken! BradK already provided you with an excellent answer. I would just add that I would hesitate to translate 'reproach' or 'oneidismos' as 'stigmata'. There is a Greek word 'stigma', and to translate 'oneidismos' as 'stigmata' would give the impression that this word was actually used in Heb. 13:13 - which it is not. Now, there is similarity in meaning between the two terms. I would say that 'oneidismos' is the broader term, including insults and personal disgrace. While, 'stigma' refered to physical marks, usually associated with slavary. Paul uses this term of himself in Gal. 6:17 in reference to the beatings he has taken for Christ. So, 'stigma' can be used in reference to marks received from persecution. But, interestingly, Scripture never uses this term of Christ or the marks He received. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

1528 | greek word | Heb 12:1 | Morant61 | 168885 | ||
Greetings Dolly Beard! Here is what the 'Theological Dictionary of the New Testament' by Kittel says about this word group. *************** This group, rare in the LXX and NT, is used frequently in relation to the stadium. agoµn, agoµnizomai, etc. A. Hellenistic Usage. a. agoµn means place of assembly, then place of contest, then contest, then conflict. It is often applied figuratively to life as a struggle with a prize (Plutarch, Philo; Wis. 4:2). agoµnéŒzomai means “to carry on a conflict, contest, debate, or legal suit,” and can also be figurative. b. The imagery of the contest also occurs in Hellenistic Judaism, e.g., in Philo On Husbandry 112; cf. the martyrs in 4 Macc. 17:10ff. and Job in Test. Job 4 and 27. B. agoµn, agoµnéŒzomai in the NT. a. Striving for the goal is the first thought here (Lk. 13:24). Exertion (1 Th. 2:2) and a concentration of forces (Col. 1:29; cf. 2 Tim. 4:7-8) are both necessary. b. Striving also calls for denial (1 Cor. 9:25), the setting aside of provisional ends (1 Cor. 9:27). This is not asceticism but athletic discipline (2 Tim. 4:5). It is not contempt for the world but a right ordering of priorities. c. Little reference is made to antagonists, but obstacles and dangers have to be faced (cf. 1 Th. 2:2; 2 Cor. 7:5; Jude 3). d. Martyrdom is the final conflict (cf. 2 Tim. 4:6; Heb. 10ff.) e. The goal is not just our salvation but that of others too (Col. 1:29-30). Paul struggles “for” the church (Col. 2:1-2; cf. 4:12-13). Prayer is crucial here (Col. 4; Rom. 15). So is unity in the Spirit (Phil. 1:27ff.). The gospel brings conflict to the entire Christian life, but as we pray and stand together the sign of the cross is a sign of victory. C. agoµn, agoµnéŒzomai in the Early Church. Pauline ideas recur in 1 Clement. Barnabas summons us to conflict (4.11). 2 Clement depicts the contest in the arena (7). Martyrdom and asceticism are later the leading forms of conflict, especially martyrdom (Tertullian To the Martyrs 3). agoµnéŒa. This word means “conflict,” “tension,” “focusing of powers.” In Lk. 22:44 it denotes concern for victory before the decisive struggle (cf. Lk. 12:49-50). ************ Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

1529 | thankyou for your help im a new christia | Heb 12:3 | Morant61 | 168981 | ||
Greetings Dolly Beard! This word 'analogizomai' simply means to think about or compare something. In this case, we are commanded to compare the sufferings of Christ (and His response to them) to our sufferings. I hope this helps! p.s. - Welcome to the forum and to the Family of God!

1530 | Jesus is the same | Heb 13:8 | Morant61 | 137092 | ||
Greetings Noveta! Try the following verses! Heb. 13:8 says of Jesus, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." While the following verses say of God the Father: Heb. 1:10 - "He also says, 'In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. 11 They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. 12 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.'" Ps. 102:27 - "But you remain the same, and your years will never end." Mal. 3:6 - "I the LORD do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed." James 1:17 - "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

1531 | Sumission to authority? | Heb 13:17 | Morant61 | 28655 | ||
Greetings Mommabs! It is difficult to address your question without more detail. But, in general, I would say the following would apply. 1) One should not seperate over doctrine unless that doctrine is a core doctrine. For instance, if a pastor is teaching that Jesus was not God, then I would say that you should leave that church. 2) One should submit to a pastor's authority, if doing so doesn't involve doing something which is unethical or immoral. If you feel comfortable providing a little more detail about your situation, it would help alot! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings! The message of this chapter is simply that it is a sin for us to show favoritism based upon wealth. I should treat a poor man with the same love, compassion, and deference with which I would treat a rich man. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

1535 | Why's my NASB diff. than online versions | James 1:6 | Morant61 | 114985 | ||
Greetings Lance! I can't speak for other translators, but 'ask' in v. 6 is an imperative verb. I would simply translate it as 'But ask in faith'. The addition of 'must' (to me) distracts from the fact that the verb is an imperative or command. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

1536 | Need Clarification on Asking/Receiving | James 1:6 | Morant61 | 205251 | ||
Greetings Student! Verse 7 refers to the man who doubts. The one who doubts should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Everyone else should expect to ask and receive. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

1537 | Sin is fun for a season... | James 1:15 | Morant61 | 20953 | ||
Greetings Ashestobeauty! Could you be referring to Heb. 11:25? It says, KJV - Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; NIV - He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

1538 | Grace vs Works? | James 1:22 | Morant61 | 242534 | ||
Greetings Rikbrooks! Welcome back brother! The short answer to your question is that a transformed life is evidence of salvation. You are correct! No one is saved by being good enough, or by working hard enough. However, Eph. 2:10 also points out that we are saved for good works. That is the distinction that James is making in his letter. Groups were claiming to have faith, but there was no evidence of that faith in the way that they were living their lives. James said: Jas 2:18 But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. As we used to say, the proof is in the pudding! I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

1540 | Is God ONE or is God THREE? | James 2:19 | Morant61 | 37481 | ||
Greetings Tim! I appreciate your tone in this debate! We all should be loving and Christlike in our conversations with one another. If I may, I would like to address the question you asked in your post! You asked: "Is God in essence "ONE"? Or is He in essence "THREE"? What difference does it make to us if we believe one way or the other?" The situation with modalism is a tricky one. It has been declared a heresy by the church, but it does affirm the full Deity of Christ. So, in that sense, I don't have as much problem with it as some "heresies"! :-) However, modalism (to me) doesn't do justice to the passage in Scripture which focus on the 'seperateness' of the members of the Godhead. Allow me to present two examples and then I'll await your response. 1) Gen. 19:24 says, "Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens." This is an interesting verse. We have here a picture of the Lord in the plain calling down destruction upon Sodom and Gomorrah from the Lord in the Heavens. Two distincts 'persons' who are both called Lord. This seems to be a clear case where modalism doesn't work. We don't have 'one' at work here, but 'two' members of the Godhead. 2) John 14:16 says, "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever—" The key word here is 'another'. This is the Greek word 'allos'. It is a demonstrative pronoun which always indicates numerical distinction. In modalism, how can the Holy Spirit be a numerically distinct individual? If I gave you a Snickers (my favorite) candy bar and then said that I would give you another one, would I being giving you another one if I simply took back the Snickers, called it a Mars Bar and gave it back to you? 'Another' indicates an actual numerical distinction. I'll stop here since this is such a broad topic. One of my pet peeves is when people try to cram 50,000 points into one post! :-) Thanks again for your attitude my brother in Christ, fellow preacher, and fellow 'Tim'. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
