5541 | Did angels help Moses receive the law? | Gal 3:19 | Searcher56 | 10454 | ||
Nolan, -In this very verse, they ordained the Law. -The angel spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai (Act 7:38). -The Law was put into effect by angels (Act 7:53). -The message was spoken by angels (Heb 2:2). -The angels are the myriad of holy ones (Deu 33:2). ... so I take this to mean the angels spoke the Law to Moses, in addition to the Ten Commandments given by God Himself. Searching Scripture, Steve PS I enjoy connecting Scripture. |

5542 | What does it mean to believe. . . ? | John 3:16 | Searcher56 | 10432 | ||
JVH0212, Belief is from the heart, knowing the facts you heard are true, that Jesus died for your sins (Rom. 10:8-14). Are we talking about mental assent to a set of facts? No, the devils believe there is one God (Jam 2:19), as do the Jews (Due 6:4, Mar 12:29), it needs to move to the heart. Or a warm fuzzy feeling when you pray or think about Jesus? No, feelings come and go, increase and decrease. Facts never change. Or a belief that Jesus existed, as did George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, etc.? While these three may believe like we do ... they did not die for your sins. I hope I answered your questions, Steve |

5543 | Accuracy of Spanish Bibles | Ps 119:105 | Searcher56 | 10386 | ||
Roverjbh99, I agree with Nolan, and my Spanish is worse (1 year in high school, decades ago). As with English versions, we need to look at what they used in their translation, including how the cultural influences. Sometimes the latter to the detrement of the Word. Steve |

5544 | "The Disciple's Prayer"? | Luke 11:2 | Searcher56 | 10377 | ||
Nolan, The "Lord's Prayer" is in John 17, only He could of prayed it. Hank is right, it is the model prayer. Alas, many or most Christians do not follow it, not as repeating it, but remembering His name is holy ... Steve |

5545 | Sanctification a process y or n word??? | 1 Cor 1:2 | Searcher56 | 10340 | ||
Mike, I say both and more. 1 Cor 1:2 shows we were sanctified (Acts 20:32). Go to verse 8, where we see we are in the process (Rom 8:28), as well as we will be in the future, when it is complete (2Co 1:14). John 17:17,19 and Heb 10:10, 14 are two other passages that show sanctification -is complete, in the past (prepared for us). because of what Christ has done -is continous, presently (a process), in us -will be completed (pefected), in the future in us when we see our Lord.

5546 | Despised the day of small things? | Zech 4:10 | Searcher56 | 10336 | ||
Nolan, It could be those who rememeber the grand Temple of Solomon and the current Temple (vs 9)was puny (Ezr 3:12-13). No matter, since the Lord was in it, the people will rejoice even this Temple is done. Remember what He did with insignificant people like Gideon. No one is no small for Him to do big things through.

5547 | Spiritual | Matt 18:18 | Searcher56 | 10206 | ||
EdB, This passage has nothing to do with binding Satan, nor does it have to do with prayer, tho some "experts" say so. The immediate context is dealing with a brother who sins against you and church discipline (vv 15-20 ... maybe even to the end of the chapter). Spirital warfare is dealt with other places. If this was dealing with binding Satan, why would God say anything about losening him ... and do we have the power to set Him loose in heaven. I know many who use this verse for prayer. But, it is when we declare guilt or innocence, of the man, He will not change it. Verses 19-20 can be cross-referenced with Deu 19:15-17. Who is present in both passages, plus what else is similiar? Steve |

5548 | Isn't writing G-d a Jewish thing? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 10201 | ||
Norrie, Questioner is our Muslim friend and he does the same thing. So it is not just a Jewish "thing". I think the matter is very serious to both groups. The Jews did not write or say His name, because they did not want to take His name in vain (Exo 20:7). We take the name of our Lord lightly. We do not stand up and speak out when someone makes it common, or even worse, drags it in the sewer water. His name is holy, that is separated from all others ... higher than calling Mr. Bush, Mr. President. Maybe 5 million times higher is not high enough. Off my soapbox, Steve |

5549 | Does Deut 21:22 refer to crucifixion? | Deut 21:22 | Searcher56 | 10195 | ||
Elliot, The person was put to death first, then impaled on a pole. Crucifixion was a means a death, not to show the guy was already dead, as here. Steve |

5550 | The Bible: Literal, or Symbolic? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Searcher56 | 10194 | ||
Hank, I think there are at least three views, in my mind. -everything in the Bible is literal, unless it says it is symbolism by using words like "like". -everything in the Bible is symbolic - from creation to the eternal state. -in betweeen is where many, if not most Christian think. There are some passages some say that a symbolic, like Matthew 5:29-30. There is danger in 'the usages of symbolism, allegory, metaphor and "poetic license"' can 'sacrifice, dilute or alter truth' ... I would add figures of speech and types (stuff I learned in English Lit). -Because one may think one passage is literal, and another will not. -We may sin because we choose not to obey the Word. Anyway, always take the passage in the contexts -immediate ... looking at the surronding verses -book ... understanding overall theme of the book -Bible ... compare Scripture with Scripture I take the Bible literaly most of the time. I would be very careful to do otherwise. I do not have my list of symbloc passages. |

5551 | Meaning of Inerrant and Infallible? | Ps 119:89 | Searcher56 | 10184 | ||
Hank, infalliblity, when applied to the Bible, means that it is, overall, fully trustworthy. Its text does not deceive the reader. "Traditionally, Protestants have reserved the term [infallible] ... to refer to the Bible as the only true source of faith and doctrine." S.B. Ferguson et al, "New Dictionary of Theology", Inter-Varsity Press, Downers Grove, IL (1988), Pages 337-339. 2Ti 3:16-17: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, [literally God-breathed] and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." Steve (PS My post got cut off at the knees) Maybe I should of selected Pro 30:5. How can I change it. |

5552 | Meaning of Inerrant and Infallible? | Ps 119:89 | Searcher56 | 10181 | ||
Hank, Here is what I found: An inerrant text is considered infallible, truthful, reliable, totally free of error and absolutely authoritative. Inerrancy is not restricted to moral and religious truth. It is normally applied to all statements of fact in the Bible, "scientific, historical, or geographical." Dave Miller, "Why I Believe in the Inerrancy of the Scriptures" http://www.infidels.org/library/magazines/tsr/1992/4/ The Bible it is without error: - 2Sa 22:31 "the words of the LORD are flawless" (Psa 12:6, 18:30 ) - Psa 119:89: "Your word, O LORD, is eternal, it stands firm in the heavens" (Mat 5:18) - Pro 30:5: "Every word of God is flawless" - Jhn 10:35: "...and the scripture cannot be broken;" We have proven His promises true (Psa 119:140). Infallible, when applied to the Bible, means that it is, overall, fully trustworthy. Its text does not deceive the reader. "Traditionally, Protestants have reserved the term [infallible] ... to refer to the Bible as the only true sour |

5553 | WILL WE HAVE BODIES? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 10130 | ||
Taby815, Welcome. Let me add my thoughts, to those correct ones of my friends. I was delayed last night - the site was not responding when I posted. I believe we will have new bodies (2Co 5:4, 15:51; Php 3:21), not exactly sure what they will be like. I doubt there is any Biblical truth to being a ghost and see through each other. Ask the person to cite Scripture and look at the context ... even bring it here, for us to investigate. We will recognize each other. I base this on Luke 16:23 where the rich man recoginzed Lazarus. I believe we will live in apartments (John 14:2). I think we will work. Those who were lazy were condemned (2Th 3:6ff). Again, I am not sure what I will be doing. Please do not type in all capital letters, unless it is a point of emphasis. It is very hard to read. Some think it is yelling. Hope this helps. Steve |

5554 | Qualification for elder/deacon question | 1 Timothy | Searcher56 | 10039 | ||
Likesemail, there are several views 1- Only one wife in a lifetime, even if she dies 2- Can have another wife, only if she dies 3- Only one at a time, divorce is okay, even if she is Christian 4- If she wasn't a Christian and she left you, it is okay to remarry 5- They have to be married - no singles allowed ... there are several other possibilities, and they probably are already posted - search for elder ot 1Ti 3:2, Tit 1:6. Some get upset if the question has been asked/ answered. ... then the question is do they need to have children(1Ti 3:4). Steve |

5556 | Will we know Him and He know us | Rev 22:3 | Searcher56 | 9944 | ||
Jim, It may be one, YHWH, which is a name of both the Father and the Son. Psa 110:1 is one example where both the Father and the Son are called Lord in the same breath. There are other names that They share. I know I will bear His mark and not that odf the beast. Steve |

5557 | "You bear this beautifully"? | 2 Cor 11:4 | Searcher56 | 9941 | ||
Nolan, Paul is concerned that they are willing to accept another Jesus ... put up with it easily enough (NIV or you submit to it readily enough (RSV). "Pathetically tolerant," is what I would of told them. Mark 7:9 comes to mind, where what God was said was rejected, to follow their own way. No punches pulled here. After you listen to lies long enough, you may believe them. Galatans 1:6-9 is another passage were Paul sends out a warning about different gospel. We need to be aware of what we hear and stop listening to someone who preaches different gospel. Do not give them a chance, but speak to them the truth, in love ... be ready to give an answer about what you believe. The context (vs. 3) shows that Eve listened to the serpent - the fruit looked beautiful to her and so did what the serpent promised. She already had added to what God said. What about us?

5558 | Did God Create Man Mortal? | Gen 1:26 | Searcher56 | 9940 | ||
Lionstrong - What was Adam promised? Was Adam guaranteed to physically live forever? Did Adam sin before ate of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil? Once he ate of that tree, did he die physically, at that moment? Did Adam go to the Tree of Life as soon as he sinned? Did God come to Adam right away? - Now, I would answer all the questions, no. I agree that God did not tell Adam why He made the Tree of Life. However, would Adam of been spiritually alive if he would of not eaten of either tree? If so, what was his sin? You are correct, Adam would have lived forever in a fallen state. Because what God said about both trees are statements of fact and maybe purpose. The Tree of Life in Revelation will not give us eternal spiritual life either. We received that when we answered His call and believed on Him. You pointed out the fact and purpose of the Tree of Life in the future. It will be different than in the Garden, for there were no nations at the time. Steve Butler |

5559 | I do not agree | John 9:3 | Searcher56 | 9830 | ||
Terry, based on Psalm 139:13-16, I agree with JVH. The word created is the same as Gen 14:19, 22. But not the same as Gen 1:1, 22, 27. If you need the Hebrew words, let me know. God does have a hand in our creation, but it is not the same as when He created the world or Adam and Eve. He knit us together (Job 10:11). He is our Maker, that is why we need to kneel before Him, with our faces to the ground (Psa 95:6). We are fearfully and wonderfully made, even my daughther who has some developmental "delays". Now as far as your message, we need to know God made each of us and has given us children that we can handle ... for His glory, even if He does not heal them like this blind man. Searcher ... since I see another Steve |

5560 | Question on the rivers of Gen. 2:10ff | Gen 2:13 | Searcher56 | 9828 | ||
RevKGraham, we do not know if the rivers were in existance when Moses wrote about the Garden. We think we know about the last two. Cush could be the one we read about later. Neither do we know the effects of the flood. The "experts" have to guess. I do not like the English language, it does a horrid job many times in the Bible and elsewhere. I take verse 10 to mean that the Eden River had the four rivers flowing from it. Searcher Steve Butler |
