Hi kalos, I have been considering writing about the two times in the NASB that Life is capitalized as mrchadly does in his question. I think that your Ecclesiastes reference is a good comparison to one of the places where Life is capitalized, Acts 5:20. "Go your way, stand and speak to the people in the temple the whole message of this Life." Ecclesiastes 12:10, "The Preacher sought to find delightful words and to write words of truth correctly. The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails; they are given by one Shepherd." The conclusion for the Acts passage is "We must obey God rather than men." The reverance for God comes when we realize the power of this Man's blood. |

Hi mrchadly, I don't know if the capital L of your question was for stress of the word, for showing your respect for life itself, or for showing Deity. If you have any input we'd like to hear from you I'm sure. I would like to talk about some places in the NASB which capitalize this word Life. I wrote to kalos about one, Acts 5:20. Another place is 1John 1:1, "What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we beheld and our hands handled, concerning the Word of Life--and the life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us--what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, that you also may have fellowship with us;..."NASB I personally would go even farther than the NASB and the NKJ here and say that in the second verse that "the Life was manifested." Perhaps the translators are considering that interpretation for another time in the future. I know that as I compare their l977 and 1995 copies that I agree with many of their changes. This passage of 1John 1:5-7 where He is called Light is a case in point where I agree with the new copy. Another place where some translations have Life capitalized is when Jesus said that "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." John 14:6. I believe that one finds meaning in life when we know Him as the Truth. He is also our Life. A place where I personally capitalize this word is Colossians 3:1-4, "If then you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our *Life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory." And lastly, this is my read, for what it is worth of John l:4, "In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. The light shines in the darkness, for the darkness did not overpower it." |

Hi Nolan, I went out and bought the book today (a book bonus) priced right. It looks like a good book to read and recommend to our friends who need to think about something else.:) On another note concerning the meaning of life perhaps, is a group of words that my wife and daughter are talking about tonight. Can you get the meaning of this? "That that is is that that is not is not is that it it is." |

Hi Tim, Very good. Perhaps a couple extra commas come into our lives, but that's about it. Or sometimes we have some shortened words by the way, but that is about it. "That that is, is. That that is not, is not. Is that it? It is!" |

Hi GaLa220Gal, Welcome to the forum. This forum has every appearance as originating from the United States where every question and answer can be expressed. Everything has been working pretty well so far for everyone. It is almost like we're out in the world in its reality as we converse here. I would hope that if you discover a post that you think is untrue that you would be feel free to contribute wholeheartedly. May the Christ who lives in you show your faith in the Son of God in all the things that you do and say here so that He may be glorified. But, yes, GaLa220Gal, you will see every indication of life in all its reality and diversity, but this forum can be a gateway to faith by hearing also. Later, Ray |

188 | are there innocent victims in the bible | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 22390 | ||
Hi Godslittlehelper, Luke 13:4 comes to mind in regard to your question. "Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem? I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." What I see Christ saying is that there is no guarantee that bad things will not happen in our lives. There is no protective hedge that Satan said was around Job. Yet the context in Luke appears to infer that there is that possibility. If we are fruitful then He will not "cut us down" or curse us as He does the fig tree in Matthew 21. And also, He will not allow us to be cut down before we have a chance to be repentant and bear fruit. See Luke 13:6-9. |

Hi Nay, I was looking at numbers the other day even though I hate math. I divided 111,222,333,444,555,666,777,888,and 999 by three and they all came out without a fraction. You tell me. Why does that happen? Later, Ray |

Hi 2121 Main St, You have some verses here which offer us some expectant hope. Jeremiah 29:11, "'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." John 10:10, "The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep." He came that we might have life and He came from God as a teacher (John 3:2). May we all learn well the plans that He has for us. Later, Ray |

Hi Nolan, I think that it is sad but true that a lot of people won't know what I meant by the Bible "sword drill". But that was fun. P.S. Isn't it great that we serve a teacher rather than a thief? Later, Ray | ||||||

Hi Sir Pent, Like I have said; I am no mathmetician. The information about the digits being added together was new to me and I appreciate it. That makes the discussion on the "Jesus and 888" thread of more interest since the Greek word "Iesous" has a numerical value of 888. I noticed tonight that Christ is not divided. The Greek word Christos has a numerical value of 1480 so adding the digits brings a total that is not divisible by three. I am not a mathmetician; can you tell me who the "father" of math is? Later, Ray |

Hi Sir Pent, Thank you for your note and interesting information. The 'all is number' idea is interesting and ahead of his time when we think of the techology of today. But, as you say, God is the father of all things. Later, Ray | ||||||

198 | Why the word "God"? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 27755 | ||
Hi Love Fountain, I would say that the first time that the word God was found in print would be on the tablets of stone when the ten commandments were given. Exodus 20:1, "Then God spoke all these words, saying, 'I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me.'" They should have remembered that God is Spirit and that they were not to make any graven image in order to make Him simply a god. Deuteronomy 4:33, "Has any people heard the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as you have heard it, and survived? Or has a god [sic] tried to take for himself [sic] a nation from within another nation...as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? To you it was shown that you might know that the Lord, He is God; there is no other besides Him." The Scriptures say that there are other gods and other lords, but indeed there is no other God besides Him. 2 Samuel 7:22, "For this reason Thou are great, O Lord God; for there is none like Thee, and there is no God besides Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears." Mark 12:32, NKJ, "So the scribe said to Him, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He."" I like the NASB version for this verse and for verse 29, for it expresses better for me the fact that the Lord our God is one Lord. Indeed, there is no Lord besides Him, even Jesus Christ our Lord. Mark 12:32, NASB, "And the scribe said to Him, "Right, Teacher, You have truly stated that He is One; and there is no one else besides Him." In my personal copy right now I have "and there is no *One else besides Him. And to love (Him)... is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices." When I know that He is the Holy (One) of God then I know that I am not far from the kingdom of God. verse 34. My Study Bible here in Mark refers me to Deuteronomy 6. Let me type some verses for comparison with Mark's "And to love (Him). The parentheses are mine. Deuteronomy 6:13, "You shall fear [reverence] only the (Lord) your God; and you shall worship Him, and swear by His name. You shall not follow other gods, any of the gods of the peoples who surround you, for the Lord your God is a jealous God..." Deuteronomy 6:4, "Hear, O Israel! The (Lord) is our God, the Lord is one! And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might." Mark 12:29, "Hear O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord; And you shall love the (Lord) your God with all your heart...Verse 33, "And to love (Him) with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as yourself, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices." And again, Exodus 20:3, "You shall have no other gods before (Me)." So that's my long answer to why we should get to know (Him) and to give Him the honor due His name in capitalization. For He is not a god nor a son of man, but He is God with us. |

199 | is the NIV a good bible to read? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 30213 | ||
Hi Hank, It's always good to hear from you for I enjoy your humor. I'm glad that you will let me study the book "sandwiched between Leviticus and Deuteronomy." It is one of the books that I have gone through and found the pronouns of Deity to be divisible by three. Be that as it may, I agree with you about "The Bible Code". It took only a glance at the book store for me to know that it holds no interest for me. But the book that I have been recommending is entirely different. You might give that a look and let me know what you think. Later, Ray |

200 | Where do angels sing in the Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 31478 | ||
Hi Rafiki Rich, Welcome to the forum. We always like to encourage new contributors to use the Search words to the left or right. For instance, after clicking on the Search on the top left; type in "Kalos" or Ray in the User Name section and "Matt. Chapter 1" in the containing these words section and you will find enough to think about for awhile. I would ask you to keep in mind that you will find NO ONE "singing...Amen" anything in the Bible. The Bible is not a hymnbook and does not have written musical notes included in it. Luke 2:13 says, "And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,..." It doesn't say singing because the sounds and pitches are not included. This is after all the "word" of God. I would welcome your thoughts either here or in the Matt. Chapter 1 thread. Later, Ray |
