1 | Why does NIV OMIT verses in KJV? | Not Specified | GeorJoy | 86351 | ||
I love my NIV. I also feel that it is a truly inspired revision of the word and that the Lord led me to it. However, my faith in this particular version was just jolted when I was reading the book of Acts and discovered with the help of my "Henry Comentary" that it OMITS verses that are in the KJV. Specifically Acts 8:37. If as I have determined from my research, this is due to the dateline of the manuscripts, why is the OMITTED verse number simply skiped over, ie 35 36 38 rather than continued in numerical sequence? |

2 | To be led by the Spirit, or castrated? | Not Specified | GeorJoy | 89258 | ||
Searcher In your response to "What is "Moral Law?", you stated, "I also think following the "law of Christ" is tougher." My question is "why." Didn't Jesus simply command us to " Love your neighbor as yourself." Isn't this the command that replaced the ten commandments? I would say that having the laws written on ones heart in the first place, if a person follows Jesus' command to Love your neighbor as yourself; learning to listen to, and therefor to be led by the spirit, would be the most dificult thing for those who have not truly received the spirit. If one follows this command, will they not follow the 10 commandments? by doing so. Didn't Paul say to the Galatians concerning the those who were advocating the law and insisting on the circumcision of the beleivers, "As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate (CASTRATE) themselves"? NIV Gal 5:12 Your response noted suggests to me that you think it is easier to follow the law than to Live by the Spirit. Just curious. |

3 | Are we Stupid or Lazy? Our Soul at stak | Not Specified | GeorJoy | 89273 | ||
I see so many questions here. I am gratefull for them for they make me think and research. What I simply don't understand is WHY there are so many LAZY people where the WORD of God is concerned. It is ones MORTAL SOUL at Stake. Why do people ALWAYS turn to people for the interpritation of Gods word? Surely in this country today, bibles are readily available to everyone who has a desire to have one. Oh, but I don't understand what I read? Are you Stupid? 1 a : slow of mind : OBTUSE b : given to unintelligent decisions or acts : acting in an unintelligent or careless manner c : lacking intelligence or reason : Or are you simply Lazy? not easily aroused to activity. LAZY suggests a disinclination to work or to take trouble *convenience foods for lazy cooks*. INDOLENT suggests a love of ease and a settled dislike of movement or activity *the heat made us all indolent*. SLOTHFUL implies a temperamental inability to act promptly or speedily when action or speed is called for *fired for being slothful about filling orders*. If one reads the word they will learn that they will eventually learn it. So why can we not learn from the experiances of others? Just wondering... George |

4 | Having yet not knowing one has | Not Specified | GeorJoy | 90038 | ||
Can one have recieved the Holy spirit and not know? I think so, but have no scriptural foundation. I know that "if understanding came before acceptance, we would accept very little in this life." However, one often accepts without understanding, even though he desires to understand, and that this is a hinderence at the very least. Please provide such foundation (not thoughts or opinion,)pro or con. George |

5 | Why so blind? | Not Specified | GeorJoy | 91428 | ||
I know the answer is in scripture, but I can't put my finger on it. My questions are as follows; 1) Why do people who (appear) to be sincere twist the true meaning of scripture? If possible, I would prefer scriptural quotes as an answer, ie "KJV Mar 4:12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand," with limited paraphrases, devoid of OPINION. 2) Is the entire bible as a parable to some, or only portions that they choose not to accept? Or is it as is said in Ecc 3:1 "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven," to include understanding as well? George |

6 | no patience and abrasive... | Not Specified | GeorJoy | 93253 | ||
In New Creatures note # 92815, an article was quoted concerning the Church. Anyone who has been in this world, and not totally blind to The Church, for any length of time, they would have to agree. Perhaps I am at the very least, a little overly self judgmental, but I can’t help but to get the feeling that though I quote scripture in its purest form, I am abrasive to many. I have very little, or no patience when it comes to deception where the Living Word of God is concerned. Although I will not be swayed in the Word or on the meaning thereof, I would like to hear some honest and sincere spiritual thoughts of those whom have taken the time to read my posts. Not on the subject matter thereof, nor the views of scriptural interpretation, but on my method of my delivery. Brothers in Christ George |

9 | What would you like to be doing when...? | Not Specified | GeorJoy | 102096 | ||
What would you like to be doing when Christ comes? I would like to be witnessing. Imagine; to be standing there professing the Grace of God to lost soul, and then..... to look up and shout "there He is!".... and then... to be gone in the blink of an eye. In Christ George |

10 | ...liars, shall have their part in.... | Not Specified | GeorJoy | 102292 | ||
I know that my ignorance is only superceded by my love of God and His Word, so will someone please try to put the following into the correct perspective for me? I was reading in 1 Samuel chapter 21, when the following thought occurred to me. Our Lord says concerning liars; Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a --liar, and the father of it.-- And in Pro 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: Pro 6:17 A proud look, a ---lying tongue,--- and hands that shed innocent blood, And Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all ---liars,--- shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. In no way is the sin of lying upheld in scripture. Yet there are occurrences therein where the individual tells “what appears” to be a blatant lie, and is either blessed for the action, or there is simply no more mention of it. My thanks in advanced for your biblically based, Spirit filled explination. In Christ George |

11 | Just a thought. What's yours? | Not Specified | GeorJoy | 102414 | ||
Just a thought… What is the church? Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. It is; People in a community environment. It is; People worshiping. It is; People loving one another, sharing Christ. It is; People evangelizing. From his book “Spiritual Gifts,” I quote B. E. Underwood. The tendency to drift and to loose certain vital emphases makes it absolutely necessary that there be prophets to speak the Word of God to His church in every age. Who recognizes the prophets when they stare them in the face? I contend that, though perhaps not legally, yet biblically, The Bible Study forum can be classified as a church. Every church needs a Pastor Teacher, a Shepherd. I would like to think that herein we could consider our Lord and Savior as just that; our Shepherd, pastor and teacher of The Bible Study Forum Church over the Internet. Scripturally denominated, believers of the Word. One should pray that our Lord will give us patience to accept the diversity of people in our church, that together we would make up a group strong enough to serve God in any way… Just a thought. What's yours? George |

12 | Who wrote the King James Version? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93009 | ||
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. King James sent out 47 scollars back in 1611 to compile the various original "scrolls." They compiled the KJV and translated it into "that days terminology," which was and is perfect English.

13 | How to "win the world" ? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93248 | ||
Mommapbs, are you from this country? Or are you simply noting a broader field of vision on your part. Surely you are not like myself, for I have only within the past year started going to Church on a regular basis. Such as you have noted kept me out of the House of God for the majority of my life. Even though I knew that the word warns not to forsake the assembly, I felt before that I just didn't fit the mold; that I didn't conform to the old fashioned way, and that I could be just as good a Christian without Church as long as I continued in the word. When I finally started going to the House of God on a regular basis, I determined that I was there strictly for my spiritual nourishment, not for the people or to conform to their mold but for my "spiritual nourishment and preparation" to do what ALL CHRISTIANS "should" do; serve, witness, plant, and nourish the crop, in preparation for the harvest, which as many before me have also said, I believe the harvest surely must come soon. In my local Churchs, I first noticed that there is no “altar call.” Not as I remember it anyway. I now notice that even those whom I consider the most spiritually gifted preachers (in the pulpit,) appear to be “only doing a job.” After normal working hours (Church services,) there seems little in the department of leadership when a brother or sister needs and even requests such. I’m not saying that they don’t seem to be spiritually capable, just that there seems to be little sincere concern for the brethren, and much concern that they (the giver) will be stabed in the back. I should and will say that worldly conformity would eventually distroy the Church and make the true Christians rebels and outlaws, were it not for the fact that our Lord will reap the harvest before that happens. In Christ George |

15 | no patience and abrasive... | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93536 | ||
Thanks Hank. Your note is well taken and appreciated. Dogmatic though? I beg to differ. Per Mr. W 1 : positiveness in assertion of opinion especially when unwarranted or arrogant (I strive to, and believe I have, for the greatest part avoided opinion, unless otherwise noted and commented that I can find no biblical foundation for my assertions. Unwarranted? Perhaps, I may on occasion allow a bit too much salt in the stew. Arrogant? If The Word is arrogant, then I admit my guilt.) 2 : a viewpoint or system of ideas based on insufficiently examined premises. (I challenge and even request this definition be proven on a post by myself.) I know it is all in the eye of the beholder. But Black is black. White is white, right is right, and wrong is wrong BUT, the Word IS THE word. There is NO gray area therein You are one hundred percent correct in your presumption. I am sure that I have some rough and abrasive edges, however, life has taught me that the Word is generally abrasive to those who insist on continuing in their ignorance and blindness I understand what you are saying. I applaud your statement and will ponder thereon for quiet some time to come. Thanks for your time, Hank. And… if I continue my input to this forum, I would like to hear your thoughts in about a year, concerning this matter once again Brothers in our Lord George |

17 | do you pay tithe on loan money | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93540 | ||
Scripture states that we should tithe all our "gain." Considering the fact that you are going to pay back a loan, it is not "gain." A gift, or earned interest would be gain, but not something borrowed. The very fact that you asked this question indicates that you are following the right path, that inner voice, the gut feeling, THE SPIRIT. I'd say that you already had a good idea what the correct answer was. If so, learn to follow that Spirit, "walk in the Spirit." You will NEVER go wrong if you do. God Bless |

18 | Must we observe the law of God? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93542 | ||
Bingo! If you follow the commandment Jesus gave in Mat 22:39, you will automatically adhear to the law. Think about it... Mat 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. |

19 | do you pay tithe on loan money | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93648 | ||
While I had my small business going, I had a bit of a delima of sorts where "required" tithing was concerned. I started out tithing my gross. then I started studying scripture to see what the Word said. My determination was primarily based on Pr 3:9 Pro 3:9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: Pro 3:10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. I'll admit 3:10 made me feel really good, for although some would say that is not why we should tithe, it is still a promice that we can bank on. Although I did not, and do not feel that the Lord expects me to continue to tithe my gross, and considering the fact that my gross includes payment for materials which I purchased in the first place, I have done so since the beginning. As yourself, I feel that anything above and beyond is an offering, and if the Lord blesses me, why shouldn't I spread that blessing. Try as one may, the Lord can't be outgiven. One last thought; Jam 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. So what I do, is not nesssisarily what someone else should do, and vice versa, as long as we are both following the guidelines laid down in scripture and not robbing our Lord with a lack of tithing all together. God Bless George |
