9881 | Did the disciples use 'sidearms'? | John 18:10 | Searcher56 | 7809 | ||
Nolan ... Luke 22:36-38 is interesting. It appears that only two people were carrying swords. They probably Simon the Zealot - that was his background and Simon Peter, who only got the ear of Malchus. Jesus got after Peter (vs 11) and healed the ear (Luke 22:51). I do not think he was usuing it in self-defense. I do not think it advocates the use of sidearms or even a sword. Since there were no sidearms around in the Bible, we cannot say if the Bible advocates them. I also do not see anything saying we should have a weapon ... only 2 of them had one. They faced a lot more swords. |

9883 | Sabbath-did you know? | Matt 12:1 | Searcher56 | 7806 | ||
The day of rest is not a salvation issue or even a major one. I do have answers that I am working on, in response to JVH. Nonetheless, we have linked the day of rest and gathering, when I do not see any link in the Bible. JVH did not point out any passage that covers this. |

9884 | What is worship, according to the Bible? | John 4:24 | Searcher56 | 7805 | ||
EdB, I posted what the changes are needed in my "EdB ... I do get flak for this view. ..." post. I do not see anything being done, expect a few people who have this idea talking about it and worshipping God as the Bible says. If you or anyone wants to read what I have written, ask me sbuttle@qwest.com. It is a living document, for I continue to study worship. |

9885 | Steve explain worship more? | John 4:24 | Searcher56 | 7804 | ||
EdB ... I do get flak for this view. One correction, is that we do not worship through service. They are separate. I think you are saying we worship becuase of music. But, that is dangerous ... you used the word "feel", which has caused problems, even in love. Both are facts and a commitment. As far as translations, I pointed out the disparity on the translation of the word worship. I look at other languages, Japanese, Arabic and others. I ask how a verse is translated. They do a better job in my view, since they did not use English as part of there translation process. Now to your question ... We need to correctly know - what worship is. The dictionary definition does not match the words in the Bible. - who we worship. While God may be our Friend, we need to worship Him with the names associated with worship. We need to see the wide gap between us and Him. - why we worship. We do have commands and warnings. It also brings us into His majestic presenece and changes us. - how we should worship. We call many activiies worship. But, they usally are not. Some are associated with worship, like singing. Others are not in the context of any worship example, in the Bible - like dancing. - where we should worship. As Jesus said, it is not a special place, but in spirit and truth. I see most churches not set up to have people fall on their faces. I have done it there, I sit up front or along the aisle. Also, I've done it at home. - when we can worship. It take preparation. We need to prepare our heart, soul nad mind. |

9887 | What is worship, according to the Bible? | John 4:24 | Searcher56 | 7746 | ||
The answer is logic. One examle is ... In Exo. 12:31, the NAS uses worship. Then the similar phase is translated abad as serve in Exodus (4:23; 7:16; 8:1, 20; 9:1, 13; 10:3, 7, 8, 11, 24, 26). It does not make sense to translate the same word differently into English. We all need to let the Bible flow and interpet itself. |

9888 | What is worship, according to the Bible? | John 4:24 | Searcher56 | 7734 | ||
I believe worship is being wrongly taught in the church today. It is either by not knowing what the Bible says or by deception. It begins with the definition of worship. I used a lexicon and concordance to see the occurrence of "worship". Then, I looked up the word to see what the original said. The number of verses translated worship varies, from Young's Literal Translation which has 19 verses, to The Good News Bible in Today's English Version (TEV), with 537 verses. I concluded only one word each in the original should be translated worship. - The primary Hebrew word, for "worship", shachah, is a powerful one. It describes the physical act of actually prostrating yourself on the floor before a sovereign, someone who has complete control over you. There are 171 uses of shachah in the Old Testament. It is translated bow, homage, prostrate, worship, weighs it down or a similar words. - Daniel wrote in Aramaic. The word he used, 12 times, is c@gid, pronounces segeed. It is translated to prostrate oneself, do homage, worship. It is related to the Hebrew cagad, used four times (Isa. 44:15, 17, 19, 46:6). It means to prostrate oneself (in worship). - The primary Greek word is proskuneo. It means to kiss the hand to (towards) one, in token of reverence. Westerns may not under-stand this. It is not a romantic or family kiss. I doubt many of us kiss with reverence, even if we kiss the ring of the Pope. There were ancients that kissed their idols. It is better see it as falling upon the knees and touch the ground with the forehead as an expression of profound reverence. In the New Testament it means kneeling or prostration to do homage (to one) or make obeisance, whether in order to express respect or to make supplication. It is used 60 times in the NAS it is translated bow, prostrated himself before, worship or similar words. There are other words translated into worship, when another word is better … including serve or service. - Each time the NAS mistranslates the word abad or latreuo worship, serve or service fits. Of the 290 times it is used in the Old Testament, abad is translated worship or worshipers only 13 times in the NAS. In Exo. 12:31, the NAS uses worship. Then the similar phase is translated 'abad as serve in Exodus (4:23; 7:16; 8:1, 20; 9:1, 13; 10:3, 7, 8, 11, 24, 26). Also, there are several times where the Bible says "worship and serve" or "serve and worship". Worship is shachah and serve is 'abad. If I thought service is worship and worship is service, I would think it would read "worship and worship". The Hebrew verb for service is latreuo. It means to serve for hire or to serve, minister to, either to the gods or men It is to render religious service or homage … to perform sacred services, to offer gifts. It is used of priests, to officiate, to discharge the sacred office. It is used 16 times in the New Testament. It is translated worship or worshiper only 5 times, in the NAS. Latreia is the Hebrew noun form. The NAS translates latreia as worship three of the five times. Worship and service are connected. Worship is essentially of the heart and mind, expressing submission and penitence toward the Lord. Service is providing the physical symbols and actions (offering sacrifices, washing in the laver, etc) that prompt the inner worship of the soul. Don't forget that service is used in two senses in Scripture--the service of the priests before the altars, and the service of the people in giving alms to the poor and teaching the righteousness of the Lord. Two other words translated worship should be reverence (which occurs more than the words for service) or religion. If you want more, I will be happy to discuss worship. I have written a paper on the subject. I didn't just take the words; I looked at the context… - I looked at who we worship. Are all the names and attributes of God, related to worship? - I asked why we worship, what is the purpose? - I've been taught that some activities (proceedings) were worship, yet was this how we should worship? - I wondered is there a special place we worship? - Finally, when can I worship… what do I need to do to prepares to worship? Steve PS I posted this awhile ago, I do not see it. |

9889 | Do you do something that are not "good"? | Ex 20:8 | Searcher56 | 7733 | ||

You said 'I don't know what you mean by "most of the church" -- do you mean most churches or the "most part" of one church?' ... I mean most churches. You said 'Secondly, you say "teaches wrongly about worship" -- a broad, sweeping generality if ever there was one -- and you do not follow up your dictum with any facts, Biblical or otherwise, to substantiate it. Where did you get your facts to justify such a statement as this? Even if it is merely your personal opinion, with what can you back it up? Should someone, anyone, say that the church at which I worship teaches wrongly about worship, I should expect them to show, prove, support, give specific examples based on Scripture, that I was being mislead and mistaught. Is it asking too much that you do likewise on this forum?' ... I have provided my proof in my new thread. |
||||||
9891 | YES or NO. Do you obey the 4th cmdmt? | Col 2:16 | Searcher56 | 7729 | ||
No ... I do not keep all of the cerimonial law of Moses. Theer is also the issue of being circumsized, et. all. However, my original question was - do you keep the fourth commandment or not? That question has been avoided by all. What about the other nine - do you keep those? If you do not the fourth or any of the ten - by what Scripture do you not keep them. |

On worship - I will start a new thread. On the Pastor - he tied to jutify himslef by saying the marriage was over. I believe he knew I was telling the truth, as well as my father. Therefore, I consider him a deciever, and not stupid. |

9894 | Isn't The 4th Cmdmnt Part Of Mosaic Law | Col 2:16 | Searcher56 | 7709 | ||
I am asking if the fourth commandment should be done away with? If so, why not the other nine and go after other gods. The dietary laws are sound ... why not keep a festival or a new moon ... there were three tithes ... the blood sactifices were done away with (Heb 10). |

9895 | Is Deception Ever Justifiable? | Ex 3:18 | Searcher56 | 7700 | ||
Is this an example of a half-truth or a ruse intended to deceive Pharaoh? In other words, is Israel's request for a three-day wilder-ness trip to sacrifice to God only an excuse to leave Egypt in order to make a break for Palestine before Pharaoh's troops could easily follow? One further question might be posed here: Did not Moses, under the instigation of Yahweh, deliberately mislead Pharaoh when he concealed his real intention? If Moses ultimately intended to ask Pharaoh to release the Israelites, did not this concealment constitute a half-truth? Did God authorize deception, here or in 1 Samuel 16:1-3? In Exodus 1:15-21, did the midwives have the right to lie? In 2 Kings 6:19, did Elisha lie to the Syrians? |
||||||
9896 | Is there anyone else who has input? | Acts 5:34 | Searcher56 | 7699 | ||
Jim is correct. There are those who decieve without knowing it. For example, most of the church teaches wrongly about worship. They misdefine worship. They may not know any better - but, I do share what I see the Bible says about worship. There is also a case where a preacher was counselling a married man and his finace about their wedding plans ... even after I pointed out his error. I told him that God hates divorce and remmariage will result in aduletry. He should of been counslling the man and his wife to remain married. BTW, he called my father who said I was right and he was wrong. He was decieving himself and others. |

9897 | Sabbath-did you know? | Matt 12:1 | Searcher56 | 7696 | ||
However - I have seen no one point to Scripture commanding that we are to gather on the Sabbath or even on Sunday ... so I still will ask the question. Also, I have not seen anyone prove by Scripture that the fourth commandment is no longer in effect. Just because Augustine said so, then Constantine issued an edict means that God said so. Again-I do not care what man says, unless they can show by Scripture I am wrong. |

9898 | Do you rest on the Sabbath? | Col 2:16 | Searcher56 | 7695 | ||
The apostles did observe the Sabbath, including in a community without a synagogue (Acts 16:13). Do you wnat others? So ... ae we free to violate the fourth commandment alone and not rest? If YOU change the day to Sunday - do you keep it holy or make it a holiday? |
