B50115, I will attempt to answer two more of your questions here, One, Where is God today? Well right now He is everywhere and in everything, and He exists outside of the constraints of time. For a good explanation on this go to www.marshill.org and click on the link for a very interesting message that will likely satisfy many of your curiosities. Two, There is nothing good on TV, at least not network TV. Even the news is driven by advertising dollars so they strive to deliver their own agenda. If you cannot trust the news anchor team to tell you the whole truth, who can you trust? The TV preachers? I try to stay away from most of them as well. Tim |

22 | how did we get our bible | Bible general Archive 3 | Tim3:16 | 179943 | ||
Hello Thorn, Your question is one with a history of hot debate and I hope does not prove to be a thorn in the side of any users of this forum. (o; I will attempt to answer as briefly as possible, though I will undoubtably leave out much useful information. For further clarification, all you need to do is ask. In classical Greek the world "canon" signifies properly, "a straight rod," or "a carpenter's rule." The sacred writings received the name of the "Canon of the Scriptures." When, therefore, we use the term we may mean one of two things, or, indeed, both: 1. The Canon of Truth--referring to the restriction of the number of books that compose the sacred volume. As such it was first used in the year A.D. 367. 2. The Rule of Faith and Life--referring to the application of the sacred Scriptures as a rule of our lives. In this sense it is used in Galatians 6:16; Philippians 3:16. The formation of the Old Testament canon was composed of the writings which spread over many centuries. The New Testament canon was gradually added to that of the Old Testament. But it was some considerable time after our Lord's ascension before any of the books contained in it were actually written. The Apocrypha contains fourteen books, namely, 1 and 2 Esdras, Tobit, Judith, the rest of Esther, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, the Song of the Three Children, the Story of Susannah, Bel and the Dragon, the Prayer of Manasses, and 1 and 2 Maccabees. The Apocryphal Books derive their name from a Greek word, apokruphos, which means "hidden." They are so called because they are,--(1) hidden; (2) of unknown authority; (3) spurious. They were not recognized as inspired books by the Jews, who regarded them, however as having high authority, and held them in high esteem as being a valuable history of their nation. Although they were carefully distinguished from the canonical Scriptures, their use was not only allowed, but many of them are quoted in Talmudical writings. They were given a place by themselves in the sacred volume, but with the distinct statement that they were not to be regarded as of equal authority with the books of the canon, their position being between the Old and New Testaments. We find them in some Bibles to-day--especially in Roman Catholic Bibles, since they are regarded by the roman church as inspired books. Following are from a book: "Seven Principles For Recognizing Canonical Books" by Bob and Gretchen Passantino Is it authoritative? Did it come with the authority of God? Is it prophetic? Was it written by a man of God? Is it authentic? Did it tell the truth about God, man, etc.? Is it dynamic? Did it come with the life-transforming power of God? Was it received (i.e. collected, read, and used)? Was it accepted by the people of God? Was it written by an authoritative writer, a founding stone of the church or an eyewitness to the events? Did the people who knew of the alleged events have the chance to falsify them? Copyright 2001 by Bob and Gretchen Passantino |

24 | But what makes them the same creation? | Bible general Archive 3 | Tim3:16 | 182181 | ||
It is interesting to note that the Strong's Concordance shows the word for man in 1:26 as number 120, which is adam, lower case 'a' -which means, human being. Then # 121 is Adam, upper-case 'A' which is the name of the first man. Also, in 2:23 the Strong's # 376 is used for man, which is "iysh" pronounced, eesh. This is a more definite term which means a certain man, pointing to an individual. Blessings, Tim |

25 | Was human propogation incestuous? | Bible general Archive 3 | Tim3:16 | 182187 | ||
Hi rodent_tamer, Merriam Webster Dictionary defines incest thusly: sexual intercourse between persons so closely related that they are forbidden by law to marry. Adam and Eve would necessarily be exempt from the law of incest, since it was not invented yet. My understanding of the danger in producing offspring with a close relative is due to malfunctions in the DNA coding of our present day genes. The DNA present in our ancestors bodies on the early earth would have been pure enough and without mutations to allow brothers and sisters to produce healthy offspring without risk of birth defect. Again, this is what I have heard, so it is only an opinion. Blessings, Tim |

27 | To whom I love more? | Bible general Archive 2 | Tim3:16 | 126422 | ||
Jesus was simply saying that nothing can come between you and God - no family members nor the instinct of self-preservation Think of the boldness Jesus exhibits! He commands nothing short of ultimate commitment, and we give it to Him - why? Not because it is something we have to do, but it is something that we want to do. Because of love. When we know the love of Jesus; when we are in a love-relationship with Him, only then can we be committed to Him like this. Napoleon once said: "I know men; and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander [the Great], Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded his empire upon love; and this hour millions of men would die for him." Hate is a strong word, but that is exactly how it might seem to family members or friends when we put Jesus in front of them. |

28 | CanIlove my wife more than I love jesus? | Bible general Archive 2 | Tim3:16 | 126508 | ||
jain george, Jesus tells us in Matt 6:33, "But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Here we are not told to seek any pleasures for ourself, much less the pleasures of God's kingdom, for there is nothing we can do to seek them effectively. What we are told, is to seek ye first the Kingdom. Jesus tells us how to do this as well. If we love Him, we will obey His commands. One other thing is to look at the word JOY as an acronym that stands for : Jesus Others Yourself If we live our lives and priorities in that order, there should be no problem understanding His will |

30 | Christian Polygamy? | Bible general Archive 2 | Tim3:16 | 156431 | ||
Well, in 1 corinthians 7:4 it says we do not have power of our own body, but that power belongs to our spouse. If we have two spouses, then each one would have power over 50 percent of us, and if we had 5 spouses, then each spouse would have power over 20 percent of us. That is not a situation that lines up with God's inspired word, Agreed? Tim PS, I enjoy the 700 club as well, but with anything else that is on TV, you must take it in, and decide whether it lines up with God's truth or not. |

36 | Should women lead and teach in ministry? | NT general Archive 1 | Tim3:16 | 181263 | ||
It is not unheard of, see the following verse. "Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappodoth, was judging Israel at that time. She used to sit under the palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the people of Israel came up to her for judgment," (4:4-5). For argument's sake, I would say it would not be a wise career choice for a woman to seek a position of spiritual authority over a man, but she is always welcome to minister to women in that capacity. This is not definitive, just my opinion. God Bless you and yours, Tim |

38 | what is this verse saying | Gen 4:7 | Tim3:16 | 182424 | ||
Jesusisfriend, Here, God is explaining to Cain that sin in his life had caused his offering to be rejected. First, lets take a look in as many translations as it takes to get the intent of the verse, I found this in the New Living Translation, starting with verse 6 for context, and after NLT, I also pasted for you Darby's just for balance. Genesis 4:6-7 6"Why are you so angry?" the Lord asked him. "Why do you look so dejected? 7 You will be accepted if you respond in the right way. But if you refuse to respond correctly, then watch out! Sin is waiting to attack and destroy you, and you must subdue it." NLT 6 And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy countenance fallen? Gen 7 If thou doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. DARBY We now can interpret this two ways. First, from the beginning of God's dealings with mankind, He shows a major objective for man is to be accomplished by overcoming, mastering sin's desire to control and manipulate. Sin's desire is always lurking within man's moral and ethical choices, and he needs to be aware of it and have the drive to conquer it. Second, it is a warning contained in a prophecy to all but given specifically to Cain. God perceived in him a strong proclivity to sin, so much that he would become a master of it. In today's parlance, Cain would become a real "pro" at sinning. The warning is not to allow oneself to follow Cain's example, which gives the impression that he nurtured sin dwelling in him.

Hi tgc, following are from some of my favorite biblical commentaries, I would like to share their insight with you. The sons of God (that is, the professors of religion, who were called by the name of the Lord, and called upon that name), married the daughters of men, that is, those that were profane, and strangers to God and godliness. The posterity of Seth did not keep by themselves, as they ought to have done, both for the preservation of their own purity and in detestation of the apostasy. They intermingled themselves with the excommunicated race of Cain: They took them wives of all that they chose. -Matthew Henry And, this from David Guzik, who is the director of Calvary Chapel Bible College, Germany: "Many people have understood that the sons of God were those from the line of Seth, and the daughters of men were from the line of Cain, and this describes an intermarriage between the godly and the ungodly - something God specifically prohibits (Deuteronomy 7:1-4; 2 Corinthians 6:14) It is more accurate to see the sons of God as either demons (angels in rebellion against God) or uniquely demon possessed men, and the daughters of men as human women The phrase sons of God clearly refers to angelic creatures when it is used the three other times in the Old Testament (Job 1:6, 2:1, and 38:7). Why would Satan send his angels to intermarry (either directly or indirectly) with human women? Satan was trying to pollute the genetic "pool" of mankind with a satanic corruption; to put a genetic "virus" that would make the human race unfit for bringing forth the Seed of the woman - the Messiah - promised in Genesis 3:15 "The Savior could not be born of a demon-possessed mother. So if Satan could succeed in infecting the entire race, the deliverer could not come." (Boice) Blessings, tim |
