2701 | Why is "he" not capitalized? | 2 Thess 2:7 | Ray | 112165 | ||
Hi PJC, I don't know if you will get this post, but I would like to update your list of verses that you feel require capitalization. The new copyright for the NASB now capitalizes "One" for both John 1:33 and 1 John 5:6. From the heart, Ray |

2702 | Isn't delusion dangerous? | 2 Thess 2:11 | Ray | 122745 | ||
Hi Aixen7z4, 1) Comparing your references in Timothy, I can see the need of preaching the word. 2 Tim 4:2, "preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction." I can see the need of keeping the faith. 1 Timothy 1:18, "This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may fight the good fight, 19 keeping the faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith." But the main connection I see concerning delusion would be found in comparing 1 Timothy 2:7, NKJ, and 2 Timothy 3:16. That is, we must speak the truth in *Christ and we must know that all Scripture is inspired by *God. 2) 2 Thess 3:1, "Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you; 2 and that we may be delivered from perverse and evil men; for not all have faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, and will strengthen and protect you from the evil one. 4 And we have confidence in the *Lord concerning you, that you are doing and will continue to do what we command." From the heart, Ray |

2703 | Isn't delusion dangerous? | 2 Thess 2:11 | Ray | 122787 | ||
Hi Mommapbs, Good post, thoughts, and reference passages. Phil 2:12, "...work out your salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for [**God is the *One who] is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure." 2 Cor 13:4, "...yet we shall live with **Him because of the power of *God directed toward you. Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith, examine yourselves!" Are we filled with the holy spirit and the power of God? Is Jesus Christ/ in you? 2 Corinthians 13:5 Do we have fellowship with the Holy Spirit/? 2 Corinthians 13:143. From the heart, Ray |

2704 | How can we avoid deception? | 2 Thess 2:11 | Ray | 122789 | ||
Hi Aixen7z4, You ask "Who is not fascinated by the fact the Lord can send us an evil spirit, a lying spirit, and a spirit of delusion?" You wrote "One supposes that the Holy Spirit in us can resist and defeat Satan and any spirit he sends. But what will he do with the other spirits that have come from God?" Jesus Christ is indeed in us because God has placed Him there. We indeed have fellowship with the Holy Spirit. I would go on and say that we are to be filled with holy spirit because we receive a spirit of adoption as sons. Romans 8:15. We know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error because we are from God. 1 John 5:6 John 3:3, "Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again [from above], he cannot see the kingdom of God." I would interpret the next verse as saying, "Unless one is born of water and the spirit, he can not see the kingdom of God." We have to test the spirits to see which ones are from God. We are justified and given life by the gift of righteousness, even the One, Jesus Christ/. Romans 5:18. Ephesians 4:22, "that in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, 23 and that you be renewed in the (s)pirit of your mind, and put on the new self which in the likeness of God/ has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth." From the heart, Ray |

2705 | Explain share in the glory of our Lord | 2 Thess 2:14 | Ray | 143035 | ||
Hi Greentwiga, You wrote of "the joy of his coming". As one who looks at capitalization, I would say that we should look for His [sic] coming. I have been considering John 5 today, and I would compare this 2 Thess 2:8 and (His) coming in judgment with John 5:30, "I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and (My) judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me,---the Father." It is when we do the will of the Father --as sons-- that we can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus did not receive the glory of men per John 5:41. They were not willing to come to Him to have life. They did not love God. He came in His Father's authority and they did not receive Him. My point is that people receive other men when they come in their own name and they receive honor or fame and they relate to one another. But Jesus came in the likeness of men, but was God in the flesh, the Son of God. We as believers are children of God. BTW, I would welcome any comments to my John 5:32 thread. From the heart, Ray |

2706 | The importance of Timothy in the Bible | 1 Timothy | Ray | 147925 | ||
Hi Doc Trinsograce, I think that your logic is flawed, but I would say that the letters to Timothy are important because we can compare the two. For my own personal study, I find that both letters have the same totals for nouns and pronouns of Deity. From the heart, Ray |

2707 | Five words with my mind? | 1 Tim 1:15 | Ray | 64434 | ||
The copy of my Interlinear Greek-English New Testament, Jay P.Green, editor says for 1 Timothy 1:15, "Faithful is the Word and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief." Is this rendering with its capitalization of "Word" a good one? Is it clear to you whether the Word [Deity] or whether the word of God, the Scriptures, are spoken of here? I am not familiar with Greek enough to know what other words besides "logos" could have been chosen to denote a saying or statement. Is Paul speaking "with his mind" [with his spirit] here? 1 Cor 14:19. |

2708 | Reconciling 1 Tim 2:4 with Rom 8:29 | 1 Tim 2:4 | Ray | 96679 | ||
Hi Huron, 1 Timothy 2:3,4, "This is GOOD and acceptable in the sight of God our (Savior), who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." Romans 8:28, "And we know that God causes all things to work together for GOOD to those who love God, to those who are called according to (His) purpose." I find these passages to be perfect matches according to my personal study. The parentheses and bold print are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |

2709 | Telling the truth | 1 Tim 2:6 | Ray | 72997 | ||
I like the capitalization of the NKJ for the verse leading up to 1 Timothy 2:6. I would like the ones who know Greek on the forum to give comments on my rendering of 1 Timothy 2:6. 1 Timothy 2:5, NKJ, and verse 6 [my own rendering for what it is worth], "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 the One who gave Himself a ransom for all, the testimony to be borne in His own time." From the heart, Ray |

2710 | Filled with the Holy Spirit or not? | 1 Tim 2:12 | Ray | 147772 | ||
Hi Doc, You wrote, "People salvificly come to the Lord but are not yet aware of all the benefits that accrue to such a thing." Would you care to start a new thread with a question on Ephesians 1:13? I think that we are sealed in Him with the holy spirit which is given as a pledge of our inheritance. I would have you consider a lower case "holy spirit" for Acts 19:2 as well. If you want to discuss either Ephesians or Acts, let me know. I think that this thread is pretty long. From the heart, Ray |

Hi Steve, It appears you did some good studying here, but the question posed probably did indeed come from 2nd Timothy 1:3. | ||||||
2712 | clear conscience | 1 Tim 3:2 | Ray | 7199 | ||
Hi Steve, I created a new, clear conscience for all of us on the forum at 2nd Timothy 1:3. This isn't so hard is it. Or is it? | ||||||
2713 | clear conscience | 1 Tim 3:2 | Ray | 7204 | ||
Hi JVH, While people who are seeking a "clear conscience" rightly go to 2Timothy 1:3 for a discussion, maybe we can talk of other things. I was looking at Steve's references above, especially Epesians 4:15,"...but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him, who is the head, even Christ." I am of the opinion that 2Timothy is concerned with the truth and the word of truth, and coming to the knowledge of the truth. I am of the opinion that 1st Timothy is concerned with coming to the knowlege of the Truth (2:4), knowing the (Truth) (4:3), in contrast with those deprived of the (Truth) (6:5). Are you interested in stating an opinion? |

2714 | clear conscience | 1 Tim 3:2 | Ray | 7205 | ||
O.K.whatever.We'll talk about 1Tim 3:2. Verse six is also interesting in comparison with Titus 1:10 as my Study Bible references. "For some men, straying from theses things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion, wanting to be teachers of the Law..."--"...For this cause reprove them severely that they may be sound in the faith, not paying attention of Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.." I see a contrast between teaching the Law and teaching the Truth, if you will. I think that it is important to stand up and speak the truth in love as your Ephesians reference says. I think also that any leader of worth will listen to you no matter what his rank. I worked for a chaplain in the U.S.Army. (clerk typist, field organ player, driver, etc.) and my boss would not have been rank conscious. |

P.S. For verse six above look at 1Tim 1:6. Sorry for the confusion here; I need a clear conscience too. | ||||||
2716 | clear conscience | 1 Tim 3:2 | Ray | 7214 | ||
JVH says:I agree with you,Ray.Ray says: "Perhaps you misunderstood me.":-) Consider this: I am of the opinion that Paul in Ephesians talks of Christ being the head of the church (l:22 and 5:23 and 4:15) and head over all things. I am of the opinion that Paul in Colossians speaks of Him as being the Head. Colossians 1:18 Ray's version: "He is also Head of the body, the church; and He is the Beginning, the firstborn of the dead, so that He (Himself) will come to have first place in everything."NASB (Parenthesis and added caps mine) Colossians 2:10,"...and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the Head over all rule and authority;..." Colossians 2:19,"...and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God." Any opinion? Take care, Ray |

2717 | clear conscience | 1 Tim 3:2 | Ray | 7220 | ||
Hi Steve, In your Acts 24:16 reference the writer talks about doing his best "to maintain always a blamesless conscience before (God) and before men." I agree with the importance that you put on how the living of our lives affects the attitudes of others watching us. We want to be able to teach and not hear the "Yeah, right" from the people who know us and see the wrong that is left in us. We have to be able to be sincere in what we say. But we know that it is the Lord Jesus whom we have to please,2Peter 3:14, "....be diligent to be found by (Him) in peace, spotless and blameless..." I've said before that we can't please everyone, and we have One who judges to whom we are ultimately responsible. 1Peter 1:22, "Since you have in obedience to the Truth (or truth through the Spirit) purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart,..." |

2718 | clear conscience | 1 Tim 3:2 | Ray | 7227 | ||
Dear charis and JVH, I respect your opinions, and I knew you weren't a "yes" man, JVH. I spoke about capitalization here because I figured it would be a good "out of the way" spot considering the thread's misunderstandings. If everyone is tired of hearing my ideas about it, I can try to constrain myself. Maybe only talk about it in a RPCV tree somewhere. Someone here in the forum called it a "fetish", my wife would call it "obsessive cumpulsion", and I call it "meaningful to me". I wouldn't want everyone to put the work into the study that I have, but I am pleased, my friends, that you have gotten used to the idea. If you are in strong agreement with some of my capitalization, tell the NASB of your reasons for the capitalization or lack thereof. But again, we have to personalize and interpret scripture for ourselves and know Him better and better. Later, Ray | ||||||
2719 | 1 Timothy 4:3 is it taking about food or | 1 Tim 4:3 | Ray | 141560 | ||
Hi scottg007, Welcome to the forum. I would say that verse 3 talks about literal food, and marriage and the desire to believe and know the truth about those things. But verse 4 and the context of the book is talking about "everything created by God is good". 1 Timothy 2:7 would have us know the truth in (Christ). See the NKJ. 1 Timothy 3:16 would have us know that Jesus came in the flesh but was vindicated in the Spirit. So the context is that we should view all things with a good, discerning spirit rather than a deceitful spirit; being aware of the hypocrisy of liars; sharing all good things with each other. 1 Timothy 4:4, "For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with gratitude; 5 for it is sanctified by means of the word of **God and prayer. 6 In pointing out these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of *Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following." John 8:31, "(Jesus) therefore was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you abide in **My word, then you are truly disciples of *Mine; 32 and you shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free." The capitalized Truth is my interpretation of the passage. The parentheses and ** are mine for comparisons. I hope this helps. From the heart, Ray |
