201 | Where do angels sing in the Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 31484 | ||
Hi kalos, Here we are again, eh? O.K. The best I can come up with is Revelation 15:1-6 where between "seven angels who had seven plagues" in verse 1 and 6, we read the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb which they sang. Other than that just be aware of how closely connected praise is with singing in the Scriptures. Psalm 148, "Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights! Praise Him, all His angels; Praise Him, all His hosts!...Praise the Lord!" Psalm 149:1, "Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones." If the angels came out of that sanctuary, that temple of the tabernacle with unused vocal cords then they had not glorified His name. Revelation 15:4, "Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? For Thou alone art holy;" |

My dear friends, The fact of the matter is, no verse can be found where anyone can be found singing anything, angel or human person. Quote me the verse and the words that people were "singing" rather than "saying". In any case, I'll keep on singing and praising, whether you guys are convinced or not.:) 2 Chronicles 20:21.

Hi Tim, I got mail. I think I could have stated my position a little better. My post to Rafike Rich on 01-22-02, 9:52pm presents where I was coming from a little better. I was asking for someone to present a verse where it says the word "singing,..." instead of "saying,..." Your verses from Revelation are closest to what I had in mind. Revelation 5:9 and Rev 15:3 would have been exactly what I was asking for if by the use of your colon in the translated passages you hadn't left out the word "saying" that is in the Greek. What I'm asking for is a verse where people are "singing...(followed by the words of the song or Psalm)." And my point being that just because the word singing is not in the text does not eliminate the possibility that the words were said in song; in singing and praising. Thus, for instance, Luke 2:13 does not preclude or prohibit the angels from singing simply because the Greek text reads "saying... If you understand what I am saying please acknowledge it. As far as all of your references referring to humans;:) I have expressed elsewhere that the Rev 15:3 includes the seven angels of verse 1 and 6 as necessary participants if not the performing group.

Hi prayor warrior, I don't know how much we have communicated before or if you are aware with my "obsession" with capitalization, but I would like to look at what you have written in order to tell you how I feel about this subject. This is not to be picky of your capitalization but just to put everything in perspective. For instance, I can not relate to the song "Worship His Majesty" by Don Wurtson I believe. He is my King but I have trouble thinking of Him as "His Majesty". Plus, I have trouble with worshiping His power, or mighty acts, or His attributes, for He alone is worthy to be praised. I hope that gives you an idea somewhat of where I am coming from. You want help in finding scripture "that helps describe God's Majesty". Your Psalm 92 reference says that He is clothed with majesty and strength. You have said that "God is Majestic". I believe that God is majestic and that we are eyewitnesses of His majesty. 2 Peter 1:16, "For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty [sic]. For when (He) received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory [Excellent Glory, NKJ], "This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased."" I believe that He is "more majestic than we can fathom". I believe that He is God and that He is Spirit and He is the Majestic Glory. How wonderful it must have been when they "were with (Him) on the holy mountain." 2 Peter 1:18 Compare 2 Peter 1:18, "and we ourselves heard this" and Matthew 17:6, "And when the disciple heard this, they fell on their faces and were much afraid. And (Jesus) came to them and touched them and said, "Arise, and do not be afraid." And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus Himself alone. And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man has been risen from the dead."" It was after the resurrection and because of the resurrection from the dead that the disciples could talk about the Majestic Glory [the Excellent Glory]. From the heart, Ray |

Hi prayor warrior, Your scripture references and capitalization do not agree with what I read in the Bibles available to me. I understand what you are saying on the whole, but I can not say that your capitalization clears it up. How much have you read of New Age literature? Now there is a challenge. Later, Ray |

Hi prayor warrior, I had wanted to write you in a timely manner but got busy at other things. I am sure that we agree on most things here but I would like to point out some things that you have written that would be confusing to a study of capitalization. 1) This could have been a typo for you have written Holy One correctly in this post. Earlier you wrote, "Jesus was called the Holy one, Acts 2:27." 2) You wrote earlier about "The Righteous Judge, 2 Timothy 4:8. Both the NASB and NKJ read "the righteous Judge." 3) You wrote earlier that "He is Omnipotent". Rev 19:6, "the Lord God Omnipotent reigns" is translated in the NASB, "the Lord our God, the Almighty reigns". So we know that He is omnipotent because He is the Almighty. 4) You wrote earlier, "And we refer to Him as Almighty". Here in this post you list many verses where it talks about "the Almighty" and that is indeed how we refer to Him. He is omnipotent and almighty and all the other attributes, but we know Him as *the Almighty. He is El Shaddai. I appreciated your references and had a blessed time reading most of them. It is good for both of us to apply Job 22:21 to our study, "[Know intimately] Yield now and be at peace with Him; Thereby good will come to you. Please receive instruction from His mouth And establish His words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored [built up]." It is good for us to establish His words in our hearts. Job 34:3, "For the ear tests words As the palate tastes food. Let us choose for ourselves what is right; Let us know among ourselves what is good." Job 37:22b, NKJ, "With God is awesome majesty. As for the Almighty, we cannot find Him; He is excellent in power, In judgment and abundant justice; He does not oppress. Therefore men fear Him; He shows no partiality to any who are wise of heart." From the heart, Ray |

Hi Sandra, Thanks for your Isaiah scripture and your reply. It does take a bit of courage to write our thoughts here, for the posts leave us vulnerable to fault-finding about not only about our grammer but our spelling.:) You have done well. I also will be coveting prayers as I face some physical health problems. So, again I appreciate your Scripture and encourage you to keep up the good fight. From the heart, Ray |

210 | Similarities of Moses and Jesus? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 35229 | ||
Hi prayon, l)Moses was the head of Joshua [Jesus] in a sense. 2)Please understand that although Moses and Joshua are types of God and the Messiah, they are not Him. I am talking right now with someone who believes that the Joshua of Exodus is Jesus Himself. Moses and Joshua were people who lived and died and are simply types of the Christ. 3) Here is my interpretation, using capitalization thereby, of 1 Corinthians 11:2,3, "But I want you to understand that Christ is the *Head of every man, and the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ. Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying, disgraces his *Head." Moses and Joshua were leaders of the Israelites but there is only one Leader. You have a great list going here. From the heart, Ray |

Hi armadeuse, Can you speak more about your view of "false modesty"? Perhaps even as regards Moses and ourselves for this thread. From the heart, Ray |

212 | Similarities of Moses and Jesus? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 35400 | ||
Hi prayon, I didn't mean to infer that you were saying that Moses was Jesus, but I wanted you to make it clear that he was not because of the beliefs of the one who says that Joshua was Jesus. Someone else is stating information of mythical gods and the myths about them, comparing them with Biblical accounts, showing similarities and casting doubt on the truth of the Scriptures. You are showing similarities of events and men that tie in the Old and the New testaments and throw light on the truth of the gospel. I encourage you in your list. As far as the "head" is concerned, although I capitalize it in 1 Corinthians, only one is capitalized in the translations that capitalize, NASB and NKJ. That "Head" is found in the NKJ, Colossians 2:16-19, "So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance [body] is of Christ. Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has [or has not] seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding fast to the Head [sic], from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God." The brackets are mine. But that is another thread and I think an interesting study. "Head" words are found three times in Colossians and three times in Ephesians. From the heart, Ray |

213 | What verse comes to mind? Fear Him only | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 36112 | ||
Deuteronomy 6:13, NASB has only in italics because it is not in the Hebrew. The word "only" certainly expresses the idea of the passage in its context. The NKJ margin option for verse 4 of the same chapter reads, "Hear O Israel: [The Lord is our God, the Lord alone, i.e. the only one]" I was comparing Deuteronly 6:13 with Psalm 96:4 today. "For great is the **Lord, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols,[Or, non-existent things]..." Also Psalm 95:3, "For the Lord is a great God, And a great **King above all gods,..." Psalm 97:9, "For Thou art the Lord Most High over all the earth; **Thou art exalted far above all gods." Praise God with me as I ask this question. What verse comes to your mind for comparison with these in regard to the Lord only to be served, worshiped, and praised far above all gods? |

Hi Steve, Great words of praise here for the only God, our Savior in whose presence we hope to abide, and indeed we in His presence now as He keeps us from stumbling. (God) is able. Did you consider Romans 16:25 also? "Now to (Him) who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past, but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith; to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen." God is able to keep us from stumbling and able to establish us. The eternal God, the only wise God. Thanks Steve. I hope more people respond. How about Ephesians 3:20ff From the heart, Ray |

Hi childoftheking, Your post was my reaction as well. One does not add to the Scriptures. However, I do believe that the addition of capitalization to the Scriptures that the Greek and Hebrew do not allow for can add a more exact meaning to them. This verse of John 8:32 is a case in point. Here is my rendering for what it is worth of John 8:32, "and you shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free." It is the capitalized, recognized Deity of the Son that will set you free. John 8:36, "If therefore the Son shall set you free, you will be free indeed." If the father of armygrunt had full use and understanding of capitalization, perhaps he had something to add. For the truth is more than an "it". He is the Truth. From the heart, Ray |

Hi gump, My suggested comparison verses would be 1 Corinthians 14:33 and 1 Timothy 3:4,5. 1 Cor 14:33, "...for God is not a (God) of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints." 1 Timothy 3:4,5, "He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity (but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of (God)?)" Parentheses mine for comparison. ******* 1 Corinthians 11:13, "Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to (God) with head uncovered?" I think that it is a matter of how things are perceived by other people. If a man prays with a hat or cap on, (or a man sings our National Anthem with one on) they are perceived as disgracing their God or nation. They are not giving the expected respect to their Head or nation. 1 Corinthians 11:5, "But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying, disgraces her head;..." If she is praying and usurping the leadership of the man then she is disgracing her head. There is no doubt, however, that men have fallen short of their responsibilities as leaders of their families and churches. 1 Timothy 1:6, "For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion, wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions." And working our way back in the Scriptures, verse 5, "But the goal of our instruction [commandment] is love from a pure heart, and a good conscience and a sincere faith." And verse 4b,..."furthering the administration of (God) [God's provision] which is by faith." We need both men and women of faith who will lead our families and churches. But we need our men to act like men and be strong; not giving up our leadership easily or thoughtlessly. 1 Corinthians 12:4, "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same (Spirit). And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. And there are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good." Verse 11, "But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as (He) wills." Verse 24, "But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked, that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another."

JMSCOTT,Thoughts please on Mt.24:5, using spirit of your god. | ||||||
218 | Mt 24:5, use the holy spirit of your god | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 40150 | ||
Hi JMSCOTT, Read 1 Cor 2:10, "For to us God revealed [these things] through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God." Jim, do you see the capitalized word, Spirit? Do you see the contrast between the spirital thoughts that we have and the Spirit of God? Do you see that we who love Him have received the Spirit who is from God, and not the spirit of the world? Again, do you see the difference between spirit and Spirit? 1 Corinthians 2:16, "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct Him?..." Do you see the difference between he and Him? The spiritual things of God are taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. Verse 14, "But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God;..." Do you see the difference between man and God? If you see the difference between man and God, then I think it is time for you to reflect that in your writing. Give God the glory that is due Him, and capitalized His name. For He is not like you or me. Now on Matthew 24:7 you wrote, "let jesus answer for you." What I see Jesus answering in verse 4 and 5 here is that there is authority in His name. "And Jesus [notice the capitalization?] answered and said to them, "See to it that no one [notice the lower case?] misleads you. For many will come in My name, [notice the capitalization?] saying, 'I am [notice the misleading?] the Christ,' and will mislead many." Here is the lack of authority that I see you, JMSCOTT, giving to His name, for here is the rendering that I would see you offering for Matthew 24:5, "For many will come in my name, saying, "i am the christ", and will mislead many." Yes, Jim, I am saying that you are misleading us. Matthew 5:37, "But let your statement be, "Yes, yes," or "No, nor"; and anything beyond these is evil."[or, from the evil one]. Do you see the difference between Yes and yes? From No and no? From the evil one and the Righteous One? Let us make our statements as clear as we can make them. Don't mislead us any more. From the heart, Ray |

Hi Rhoda, William Barclay in his "The Daily Study Bible Series" has a couple pages concerning this passage. If she can go outside the passage to other Scriptures for comparison to it then I offer these references. We are destined for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ and will live together with Him, walk in Him, be complete in Him, raised with Him, and made alive together with Him. 1 Thess 5:23, "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus (Christ)." Parentheses mine for comparison. 1 Thess 5:10, "...who died for us, that whether we are awake or asleep, we may live TOGETHER WITH (Him)." Ephesians 4:18, "This I say therefore, and affirm TOGETHER WITH the (Lord), that you walk..." 1 Thess 4:1b, "...as you received from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please (God), (just as you actually do walk), that you may excel still more." Colossians 2:6, "As you therefore have received Christ Jesus as Lord, so walk in (Him)." Ephesian 2:4,5, "But God/, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive TOGETHER WITH (Christ) (by grace you have been saved)." Psalm 73:26, "But God/ is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. For, behold, those who are far from Thee will perish; Thou hast destroyed all those who are unfaithful to (Thee)." 2 Corinthians 4:6, "For God/, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness, is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowlege of the glory of God in the face of (Christ)." Colossians 1:27, "...to whom God/ willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. And we proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, that we may PRESENT every man complete in (Christ)." Colossians 1:22, "...in order to PRESENT you before (Him) holy and blameless and beyond reproach--" Romans 16:7, "Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellow prisoners, who are outstanding among the apostles, WHO ALSO WERE IN (Christ) before me." 2 Corinthians 4:14, "...knowing that He/ who raised the Lord Jesus will RAISE US ALSO WITH (Jesus) and will PRESENT us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the grace which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God." 1 Thess 5:4, "But *you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day whould overtake you like a thief; for you are all sons of light and sons of day." I hope that some of this is meaningful. From the heart, Ray |
