1 | After God granted his request is there | Gen 1:1 | eowyn7378 | 151415 | ||
Notice that last line- Ch 1 4:10 And Jabe called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest belss me indeed enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and thou wouldest keep me from evil that it may not grieve me! And GOD granted him that which he requested. So, we do know that GOD granted him that which he requested. :-)Hope this helps! | ||||||

Hi eowyn, There's no argument with the statement of 1 Chron. 4:10. It stands as written that God granted him at least those things previously mentioned. However, the original question was, "Does Jabez have a name change after his prayer". Scripture does not plainly tell us there was a(name) change as part of verse 10. That was my point. So, beyond that, we don't know. Are you saying that from vs. 10 we can conclude his name changed? Just trying to make sure I'm understanding you correctly. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Sorry- I thought the question was if GOD granted him his request. I don't remember there being a change name though. I guess there we go with that interpretation thing again. I guess I just read like I want to also! :D | ||||||

Hi eowyn, I send you this in hopes that it will be of assistance to you in your understanding of scripture:-) This is from CARM.org and "Interpretive Principles". It is not a complete- or all-inclusive list- but it's a good start. This is what we are talking about when we refer to interpreting the Bible. Biblical Interpretation The Bible is God’s Word. But some of the interpretations derived from it are not. There are many cults and Christian groups that use the Bible claiming their interpretations are correct. Too often, however, the interpretations not only differ dramatically but are clearly contradictory. This does not mean that the Bible is a confusing document. Rather, the problem lies in those who interpret and the methods they use. Because we are sinners, we are incapable of interpreting God’s word perfectly all of the time. The body, mind, will, and emotions are affected by sin and make 100 per cent interpretive accuracy impossible. This does not mean that accurate understanding of God’s Word is impossible. But it does mean that we need to approach His word with care, humility, and reason. Additionally, we need, as best as can be had, the guidance of the Holy Spirit in interpreting God’s Word. After all, the Bible is inspired by God and is addressed to His people. The Holy Spirit helps us to understand what God’s word means and how to apply it. On the human level, to lessen the errors that come in our interpretations, we need to look at some basic biblical interpretive methods. I’ll list some of the principles in the form of questions and then apply them one at a time to a passage of scripture. I offer the following principles as guidelines for examining a passage. They are not exhaustive nor are they set in concrete. 1. Who wrote/spoke the passage and to whom was it addressed? 2. What does the passage say? 3. Are there any words or phrases in the passage that need to be examined? 4. What is the immediate context? 5. What is the broader context in the chapter and book? 6. What are the related verses to the passage’s subject and how do they affect the understanding of this passage? 7. What is the historical and cultural background? 8. What do I conclude about the passage? 9. Do my conclusions agree or disagree with related areas of scripture and others who have studied the passage? 10. What have I learned and what must I apply to my life? You can read scripture like you want to. However, it does help a great deal if you have some sort of "system" to help you. God Bless, BradK |

You (plural) have no need for anyone to teach you. RIGHT! You (singular) have no need for anyone to teach you. WRONG! BradK: Thanks for posting "Interpretive Principles", which is the RIGHT way to interpret Scripture. The WRONG way, consistently used by many Forum members, is to read the text and assume that whatever comes to mind first must automatically be the right interpretation. No Hyper-individualistic Understanding As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him. (NASB) 1 John 2:27 '"You have no need for anyone to teach you." Both "you's" are plural and refer to the believing community as a whole; there is no ground here for a hyper-individualistic understanding of the Gospel wherein the views of other believers and the gathering of believers together are considered unimportant' (Jewish New Testament Commentary, David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1992) * * * * * * * * * * * * * www.seekfind.org Christian Search Engine The mission of SeekFind.org is to provide God-honoring, Biblically-based, and theologically-sound Christian search engine results in a highly accurate and well-organized format. |

Great Posts Brad and Kalos! The liberals have been pushing this line for a long time: The meaning of a passage is the impression the reader gets from reading it, rather than what the writer intended. Can you imagine what our legal system would be like if we interpreted documents that way? (Of course, that is actually what is happening. This is why they eschew the "founder's original intent.") Thank you, again, guys! In Him, Doc |
