22 | Judge had seventy sons??? | 2 Kin 10:1 | Tim3:16 | 169990 | ||
Hi compasskid1 Here is the Scripture passage from 2 Kings 10:1-2 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote and sent letters to Samaria, to the rulers of *Jezreel, to the elders, and to those who reared Ahab's sons, saying: 2 Now as soon as this letter comes to you, since your master's sons are with you, and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and weapons, 3 choose the best qualified of your master's sons, set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house. |

23 | what is the Foundation Gate's significan | 2 Chr 23:5 | Tim3:16 | 208689 | ||
smalltinygirl, That was an excellent question and it had me looking around a lot for some possible answer. It really was a big question for such a smalltinygirl! First, we must remember what we are reading is an translation of the original Scriptures, and we are therefore at the mercy of the interpretor. About half of the translations I read had the word capitalized, for what reason I haven't a clue. Just remember, the original writings did not capitalize those words. Blessings to you as you study His Word, Tim |

24 | could foundation be a type of NT doctrin | 2 Chr 23:5 | Tim3:16 | 208703 | ||
Greetings again, sister, You may be correct, on capitalization out of respect for the holy place. I myself tend to over-capitalize some words in the middle of a sentence to give them special attention. True, there are many metaphores and similies that point forward to the coming Messiah, Jesus. He said He was the stone that the builders rejected in Matt 21:42, as He was referring to the OT in Psa 118:22 ('Stone' may as well be capitalized) "The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief corner stone." So, you could well be headed down a familiar path, looking to find doctrine within the passage in question. Now, let's look at the word 'foundation' in particular to see if that is what was meant by the original author. Strong's number 03247 is used for foundation in 2 Chr 23:5 The Hebrew word is yes-ode' and means, foundation, base, or bottom. It is first used in the OT as 'base' in the NASB, in Exod 29:12,"You shall take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; and you shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar. Leviticus 4:7, 4:18, 4:25, 4:30, 4:34, all refer to the priest applying blood to the base of the altar. The Nasb also translates the word as 'foundation' in Pro 10:25: "When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more, But the righteous has an everlasting foundation." There are some definite parallels there, blood, stone, and righteousness, so, I can see where this word can also be used as a metaphor for the Messiah. However, in my own line of thinking, to see the christology of Jesus Christ (only) as a 'foundation' is sort of like watching a parade through a knothole in a wooden fence. If we were to climb up, and peer over the fence, we would see the entire parade. And then we are able to see Jesus as our All in All. May God Bless you as you study His Word, Tim |

25 | should we confess our sins in church | Neh 1:6 | Tim3:16 | 182259 | ||
Hi Destiny22, I see that we are instructed to confess our sins, but since God is omnipresent, there is not mentioned any basis for the location. see 1John chapter 1 "8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. There is one man to confess sin to that is biblically accurate: 1Tim 2: 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, We must be cautious when we decide to confess sins to one another, this opens up the other party to the temptation of being judgemental. In Him, Tim |

26 | Mordechai - Esther's Uncle or Cousin? | Esth 2:15 | Tim3:16 | 170522 | ||
Susan66, This just goes to show that you cannot trust what you find on the internet, and you can find nearly anything. Whenever in doubt, simply see what God's word has to say. As you can see here, The King James Version says the same thing as the NASB or the Amplified. Here is the KJV as well. Tim Est 2:15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her. |

28 | What is the true meanign of proverbs 18: | Prov 17:17 | Tim3:16 | 208705 | ||
Hi Crazyace, The best way to describe the Gist of the verse is brought to us, I feel, by the late Matthew Henry: "A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." (Pro 18:24) Solomon here recommends friendship to us, and shows, 1. What we must do that we may contract and cultivate friendship; we must show ourselves friendly. Would we have friends and keep them, we must not only not affront them, or quarrel with them, but we must love them, and make it appear that we do so by all expressions that are endearing, by being free with them, pleasing to them, visiting them and bidding them welcome, and especially by doing all the good offices we can and serving them in every thing that lies in our power; that is showing ourselves friendly. 2. That it is worth our while to do so, for we may promise ourselves a great deal of comfort in a true friend. A brother indeed is born for adversity, as he had said, ch. 17:17. In our troubles we expect comfort and relief from our relations, but sometimes there is a friend, that is nothing akin to us, the bonds of whose esteem and love prove stronger than those of nature, and, when it comes to the trial, will do more for us than a brother will. Christ is a friend to all believers that sticks closer than a brother; to him therefore let them show themselves friendly. I hope this helps, your friend in Christ, Tim |

30 | Selfishness | Is 26:8 | Tim3:16 | 159629 | ||
Hi Night Jay, I have heard selfish people being accused of having "ingrown eyeballs". This is where they only want what is to their own advantage, and are unwilling to wait for these desires, (above and beyond what is essential for basic survival), and no sympathy or concern for others who may have to make sacrifices so they can get what they want when they want it. One example would be if two lovers were planning a wedding and the man says a small wedding would be fine, but the woman says she insists on a large wedding regardless of the cost or affordability. What we should do is seek the LORD in prayer and fasting, and search the Bible for the answer, asking for the guidance of the Holy Spirit God Bless, tim |

31 | what evil did the Lord create? Isah 45:7 | Is 45:7 | Tim3:16 | 160299 | ||
Our wonderfully omnipotent God has the ability to order as well as dispose of each our comforts, as well as all of our crosses, in this (or any) world. See John 1:3 "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." To me, this means He created the devil for the fulfillment of His divine will, and He also created the evil of punishment, and yes, also the evil of death. |

32 | Is Isaiah 57 the main theme of the book? | Is 57:1 | Tim3:16 | 171127 | ||
Hi Bobby99, Your question is thought provoking, which is one of my most significant reasons for logging on to this site, and I thank you for coming aboard. This is what I can come up with, and I hope many others chip in with their two or three cents worth as well: The first reason that comes to my mind pertaining to your question, is that the Book of Isaiah is often called "The Bible within the Bible" for (partly) the following reason. The Bible, in its Protestant version, contains 66 books. 39 Books in the Old Testament, and 27 Books in the New Testament. There is 66 chapters in Isaiah, with an obvious split, or change in tone, after chapter 39, causing some to suscribe to the theory of a different author to the latter 27 chapters, which is untrue. The reason I bring this up is that the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation is one entire Book, ( "THE" Book) that contains everything necessary that is pertaining to God's plan of salvation for mankind. It begins with God's placing man in paradise and it ends with God bringing man ( As many as who believe Him with integrity) home to paradise. (The rest, including idolaters and adulterers I will leave out for the sake of brevity) In this chapter, Isaiah offers observations of the judgements that the wayward Jews were bringing upon themselves in vss. 3–12 and also, in vss. 13–21, the grace of God upon His people as he brings comfort and deliverance to all those that place their faith in Him, as they enjoy privileges of membership to the church on earth, and will be brought in the end to the splendor and joys of heaven. I hope this helps you as you study further in this wonderful book! Tim |

You might like to take a look at Psalm 139, here are verses 13 thru 16 for you. God Bless, Tim. 13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. 14 I will praise You, for *I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. |

34 | can someone clarify Jer 6:27 | Jer 6:27 | Tim3:16 | 184030 | ||
Hi K.E.Y. I can try to help, and would like to start in the beginning of the context, at verse 18. Here, God is appealing to all the neighbouring peoples, and the whole world, for His judgements against Judah and Jerusalem: Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, [even] the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it. You all wonder that I should bring evil upon this people, that are in covenant with Me, that profess relation to Me, that have worshipped Me, and have been highly favored by Me. You are ready to ask, Wherefore has the Lord done thus to this land? (see Deu. 29:24). Understand 1. "That it is the natural product of their actions, for trying to strengthen themselves by their alliance with foreigners, and 2. "That it is God's righteous punishment for their disobedience. They would never have been destroyed by God’s hand if they had not rebelled against the judgments of his mouth. God then speaks of the desolation that was about to come upon them. (v. 21) 1. God punishes because they hate to be taught His ways: I will lay stumbling-blocks before this people, not causing them to fall into sin, but into trouble. He describes in v. 24–26 the confusion which Judah and Jerusalem will be caught in at the approach of this great enemy, and as a sense of guilt tends to humble men, upon the threat of any trouble. What can those hope to do for themselves who have made God their enemy? And, in v. 27, God places His prophet as a judge over this people that are now experiencing the trials they caused upon themselves. See verse 1:10, I have set thee over the nations; which He again says here, I have set thee for a tower, meaning, a watchman upon a tower, among my people, as an inspector that thou may know, and try their way. Not that God needed anyone to inform him what was up; actually the prophet knew very little of them except through God's spirit of prophecy. But God was appealing to the prophet himself, and his observation concerning their behavior, that he might be satisfied in the manner of God’s judgement against them and be able to confidently give them warning of the judgments that are coming. God set him as a tower, conspicuous to everyone and persecuted by many, but made him as a strong fortress, giving him courage to withstand the shock of their displeasure. Now in testing their way he will be finding two things: 1. That they are wretchedly debauched (v. 28): 2. 2. They would not be reformed. it was useless to think of reclaiming them, for many methods had been tried, and all had failed, v. 29, 30. May God Bless You and Yours, Tim |

35 | 'virgin' or not after oral sex | Matthew | Tim3:16 | 178683 | ||
Webster's defines virgin as one who has not had intercourse. further, it defines intercourse as follows, 1 : heterosexual intercourse involving penetration of the (female) by the (male) --Words in Parenthesis edited by me. 2 : intercourse (as anal or oral intercourse) that does not involve penetration of the (female) by the (male) Fornication is just one form of adultery. So, if you are dissecting definitions, please define "virgin" -are you concerned about an oral virgin or a genital virgin? For general discussion, The term Virgin would understandably include all, meaning sexually un-violated, or pure. May God bless you as His word sheds light on all obstacles in your path as you grow near to Him. Tim |

36 | Matthew 5:7 the simple meaning? | Matt 5:7 | Tim3:16 | 184640 | ||
Hi Sam84, This sounds like such a fun study for you to take the children thru, Blessed are you (o: It is hard to relate to verses in the beatitudes because they go completely against all that the world teaches us, and against our own desires as well. The first that I would teach them is the translation of the word 'blessed', one meaning would be, "Oh, How Happy" as in, Oh how happy are the ones who are merciful! which couples with, Oh how happy are they who OBTAIN mercy! That translates into today simply as Jesus has paid the debt of sinful man through His blood, at the cross. We are happy (blessed) because God so loved the world that He sent His only Son to die for us. (John 3:16) This is a powerful picture at any age. To be merciful is to not give a punishment that is deserved, and God is merciful to sinners. For us to be merciful to others is to forgive them. To forgive as God forgives is to forgive completely, honestly and instantaneously. This is very hard, for us who are in the flesh to do, because flesh wants to give paybacks, which is a pride issue. God hates pride and withholds mercy to those who cling to sinful pride.. This is living the life of a true Christian, not to be judgmental as we once were, seeking vengeance and demanding amends for the wrongs done to us. Having obtained mercy from God, we should want to show mercy. The next chapter tells us, "But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." This verse should be comprehendable to a child at any age. To shed more light, turn to Matt 18:23 where Jesus begins a parable to explain what happens to those who are not merciful, The children will love you for writing this lesson upon their hearts, and our Lord will surely bless you as well. Happy Teaching, Tim |

38 | is there 2 translation of matt 6:12? | Matt 6:12 | Tim3:16 | 169379 | ||
Hi Bernadette Macy, Welcome to the Forum. I would like to say that there are many, numerous translations of the entire Bible, but I am unable to find one that says forgive us our trespasses, evn though I do remember reciting the prayer that way in my childhood as a Catholic schoolboy. But I looked in my St. Joseph's Catholic Edition and that version says 'debts' as well. It may help to explain the same as I did to my father-in-law when he a scoffer, and said that one Bible says one thing and another Bible says another. Well, I told him that a trespass is the same as a debt, because you did not pay rent to the owner of the property. It goes actually much deeper than that, but I hope it helps. Here are some other translations and what they say, KJV, NKJV, ESV, NASB, NIV: Forgive us our debts, The Message: Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. NLV(New Life Version) , NIRV (New International Reader's Version), NLT(New Living Translation): and forgive us our sins, just as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us. CEV, (Contemporary English Version) Forgive us for doing wrong, as we forgive others. WE (Worldwide English), Forgive us for the wrong things we have done, the way we forgive those who have done wrong things to us. |

39 | Are discipline and sound mind the same | Matt 6:33 | Tim3:16 | 170088 | ||
Hi wendolynny, The concept of a "sound mind" has more to do with our attitude than we may realize. It takes discipline to maintain a healthy attitude in a culture that focuses on instant gratification. If our mind is sound, it is not cluttered up with the cares of this world. See Matt 6:31-34 God has not given us the spirit of fear, but the spirit of power, of courage and resolution, to meet difficulties and dangers. He has also offered the spirit of love to enrich a relationship with Him, which will carry us through trials and opposition. And also the spirit of a sound mind, which is in quietness of mind. The processes of our mind ought to start with God and end with God. We are then able to recognize the power of God and His love for us. However, maintaining a sound mind in the midst of today's society requires constant Discipline , seasoned with a positive outlook, which includes an acceptance of both the good and the bad. Parts of above are from: Small, But Significant by Rod Keesee Forerunner, "Ready Answer," February 2001 and also from Matthew Henry't Commentary on the entire Bible. |
