1 | Favorite Bible study tools? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 3298 | ||
Thompson Chain Ref. Bible is my favorite Bible study tool because it contains no cometary at all and alows me to interpet God's Word with God's Word, as the Holy Spirit leads, as God planed (John 14:26). Don't get me wrong, I own and use comentarys, but be careful, even the best contain a few doctrinal slants some where or another. I don't think I could write a comentary myself without introducing some "opinions" of my own, as I think anyone would have a hard time not doing. I also use e-Sword Bible Software, which is free by the way (e-sword.net) which I prefer over Nelson and Bible Explorer (and is 300 dollars cheaper!). It has a download called Treasury of Scripture Knowledge that is a lot like the Thompson Chain Ref. that I like a lot. | ||||||

5 | Bible study software suggestions, please | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 3698 | ||
I have used Logos, Bible Explorer, and e-Sword. I know nothing about Step. My ranking. 1. e-Sword 2. Bible Explorer 3. Logos e-Sword is a free download by the way (really no strings attached). It is written by a computer programer named Rick Meyers, who feels he should give the software away. He quotes "(Mat 10:8 ISV) "Without payment you have received; without payment you are to give.” Jesus told us that since we've been blessed we should bless others. For years I have been on the receiving end of His glorious riches, and I am happy to provide this blessing to others in the form of Bible software." of course he will accept a donation which I think anyone should give if they can afford. Check it out e-sword.net |

6 | unlimited atonement? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 3719 | ||
I’m are not one (Arminians), never will be, but hears the way I see it. Jesus prayed for the Peter to not falter, even though He knew he would deny Him anyway. (Luke 22:32). Jesus prayed for the ones who crucified Him would be forgiven, even though He knew they would not repent (Luke 23:34). Jesus offered the rich man salvation, even though He knew he would reject it (Mark 10:21). If I offered you a gift I had no intention of giving you, or was not even available, even if I knew you would not accept it, I would be a lying. Isa 55:1, Luk3:6, Joh3:16, Acts2:21, Rom5:18, Rom10:13, 1Tim2:4, Titus2:11, 2Pe3:9, Rev22:7, Lie2 (lº) n. 1. A false statement presented as being true; a falsehood. 2. Something that deceives or give a wrong impression. God: 1. Perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship. 2. DOES NOT LIE!!!! |

7 | But the older NASB did. Why? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 3817 | ||
Maybe because "thee" is not the same thing as "you" as we might think it is now. "Thee" (in the KJV) addresses only one person. "You" (in the KJV) addresses more than one person. We are not wired up to think that way now, but if we were it might would help us in Bible study. example: Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you (the disciples not just Peter), that he may sift you (the disciples), as wheat: Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee (Peter in particular), that thy faith (Peter's faith) fail not: and when thou (Peter) art converted, strengthen thy (Peter's)brethren. |

8 | ... | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 4063 | ||
For me it is based on the use of "you" and "thee" as you said. I do not know Greek (except salad and boklava!) but the Greek for "you" (KJV and NASB) in verse 31 is "humas" (accusative case?). The Greek for "thee/you" (KJV/NASB) in verse 32 is "sou" (genitive case?). So there is a difference. Maybe you or someone that knows Greek could tell us the difference in the two. Thanks, Jesus Lives! |

9 | Didn't Jesus use the Septuagint? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 4232 | ||
If Jesus and the Apostles used the Septuagint, we can be sure the Apocrypha is NOT God’s Word, rather than think it might be. Why? Because they never taught out of it, even tho it was available. The Jews had already rejected the Apocrypha. Jesus must have agreed, because He never spoke out against the Jews rejection of it. If the Jews had been wrong in rejecting the Apocrypha, Jesus would have spoke out against the Jews rejection of God’s Word. The Holy Spirit does not allow or disallow anyone to believe the Apocrypha as inspired. Romans 8:14 says “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” Notice we are to be “led by the Spirit”, we are not pushed. If we chose to follow false doctrine, we are going down the road we chose, not a path the Holy Spirit pushed us down. Jesus Lives! |

10 | TRINITY | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 4234 | ||
Please follow, if you will, in this illustration of the Trinity in God’s Word. Gen 18:1 Then the LORD appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. Gen 18:2 So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, Gen 18:3 and said, "My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. Notice verse 1 says the Lord appeared to Abraham, but verse 2 says Abraham saw THREE men, but in verse 3 Abraham addressed the three men as one, and as my Lord (not lords) ! Gen 18:9 Then they said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" So he said, "Here, in the tent." Gen 18:10 And He said, "I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son." Notice in verse 9 the three men ask a question as if one person is speaking, but in verse 10 the reply to Abraham is from the Lord! Gen 18:20 And the LORD said, "Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, Gen 18:21 "I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know." Gen 18:22 Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the LORD. Notice verse 21 says The Lord would go down to Sodom, but in verse 22 the men go. But guess what?, only 2 of the 3 men actually go (Gen 19:1). Verse 22 says Abraham was still standing before the LORD! Gen 18:33 So the LORD went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place. Notice when the Lord had went His way, Abraham was apparently alone. What happened to the third “man.” I believe this is Gods illustration of the Trinity. I know others will disagree, but I believe God manifested Himself to Abraham as three different men, yet He spoke and acted as one. When two of the “men” left, God was still there, yet also headed for Sodom! When someone ask to explain the Trinity, I will turn to Genius chapter 18! This is a much better illustration than anything I could come up with! THE WORD IS AWESOME!! Jesus Lives! |

12 | Is infant baptism Biblical? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 5662 | ||
You should seek to be rebaptized if that is what the Holy Spirit is telling you to do. We can hear and know God's voice (John 10:27). Paul rebaptized the disciples in Corinth in Acts 19. They were NOT new believers, but were already believing (vs 2). If rebaptizing was wrong, Paul would not have done so. Jesus is Lord! |

Rom 1:24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, Rom 1:25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. Rom 1:26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Rom 1:27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; |

15 | Is harsh language appropriate? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 6458 | ||
If we use Calvin's example of proper teatment of those we disagree with, we could not only use harsh language, we could also burn them at the stake! | ||||||
16 | Why? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 6624 | ||
Thank you Radioman for the kind words. Let me spell it out to you, pay attention. I said, we could burn "THEM" at the stake. "Them" would indicate more than one. That got a rise out of Joe. Joe very wittingly asked "name two" people Calvin burned at the stake. Can't get much past Joe! Notice the word "two" (2). Two means means more than one. Joe and I only know one person Calvin burned at the stake. That would be Michael Servetus, if you really need to know. I thought I was being a wise guy not a senseless babbler! Thanks Radioman for setting me straight! retxar (the babbler) |

17 | Critical Text vs. Received Text | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 6847 | ||
This is an issue I struggled with for years, because I knew God only wrote one Bible. Let me explain why I came to the conclusion that the received text is closest to God’s original inspired words than the critical text. We often pray to God to be greatly concerned about things we ourselves do not seem to care so much about. The received text addresses that in Mat 17:21, the critical text does not. John 7:8 would seem to indicate deception on the part of Jesus if the word “yet” is missing, as in the CT. John 8:1-11 in not included in the CT. Many sermons have been preached on John 8:1-11, with much good fruit brought forth. I don’t think that would have been possible unless it was God’s inspired Word. The last part of Mark is missing in the CT, but it is included with brackets in all CT Bibles. I think this is important, inspired, scripture because it contains direct commands from Jesus, and unless one misinterprets verse 18a, it causes no doctrinal differences among believers. The belief that baptism is meant for believers only is not dependant on one verse, but there is none stronger than Acts 8:37, which is missing in the CT. The longer ending of Romans 8:1, in the RT, would seem to be correct in context with Romans 8:2 and the rest of the chapter that speaks of walking according to the Spirit, not the flesh. The CT text puts much weight on the Alexandrian (Egypt) text. The RT is based on the Byzantine (Antioch) text. The Alexandrian text is closer, date wise, to the originals than the Byzantine text. However, Byzantine manuscript fragments and Byzantine quote’s of church fathers exist that are just as ancient as the Alexandrian text. The church and the Word spread quickly with Antioch as the hub. Consider the fact that the Alexandrian text was in control by only one group of people in Egypt, where Christianity fell quickly. This, to me, this would be a greater risk of corruption than scribble additions. Scribble deletions, to me, would seem more likely than additions anyway, because a deletion would probably be an unintentional mistake whereas an addition would almost have to be done intentionally. Knowing all the above, I was still not convinced until I saw Acts 6:7 (also 12:24, 13:49, 19:20) in the following light. All these verses describe the Word as spreading, growing, multiplying, and prevailing. Heb 4:12 also describes the Word as living and active. This convinces me that the Byzantine text is closer to God’s original than the Alexandrian text. History tells us that the Byzantine seemed to have God’s blessing by spreading, growing, multiplying, and prevailing. The Alexandrian text did not spread, grow, multiply, or prevail; it remained in Egypt. Consider it. As Nolan and Tim have already said, the doctrinal differences that exist among believers are never based on a CT/RT difference. (Unless one misinterprets Mar 16:18a!). God bless you both. retxar |

18 | World English Bible | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 6940 | ||
I personally think it is better than the NASB because it is based on the MT instead of the CT, which I FEEL is more accurate. The WEB Bible is also public domain as the KJV is. The WEB Bible is complete Gen-Rev in electronic form and is available as a free download for the excellent free Bible program called e-Sword @ e-sword.net. Jesus is Lord! |

19 | One Source or Several? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 6968 | ||
Hi Tim! Technically that is correct for the MT and the CT. I am not sure about the TR, as Erasmus used what he had, which I think was only late Byzantine manuscripts. I am sure the CT relies on more Byzantine manuscripts that the MT relies on the Alexandrian manuscripts because of the limited number of Alexandrian manuscripts available. Both the CT and the MT look at all available manuscripts, as you say, so my “source” statement was a little misleading. Here’s what I meant. The CT is always going to go with the oldest and the MT is always going to go with the majority. However the CT would always go with the Alexandrian if it disagreed with a Byzantine for the simple reason that the Alexandrian text would almost always be older. By the same token the MT would always go with the majority, which will almost always be the Byzantine text. I am far from an expert here, folks, so if someone has more, please share. God Bless! |

20 | modern terms for biblical practice? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 10900 | ||
When one "pleads" their case in a court of law it means to present an answer to a charge. Rev 12:10 says satan accuses the brethren before our God day and night. I think when people use the term "I plead the blood" they are simply answering those charges. I don't see how that would make the term unscriptural. Hope this helps. God bless! |
