1 | Were human authors aware of inspiration? | Not Specified | bjh | 92585 | ||
Did the human authors of Scripture (Moses, Samuel, Matthew, Paul, etc.) know that they were writing God's Word (i.e., Did they know that what they wrote was "inspired" or "God-breathed")? | ||||||

It seems like the question is asking you to give the content of each section. (E. g., Matthew - John, either "The Gospels" or "The Life of Christ"). Okay, so "Give a description of each grouping". What do you know about Genesis? What can you find there? What do you know about Exodus - Deut.? ... Maybe the first question I should have asked is "Could you give a 3-6 word description of each section?" |

This looks similar to your other question, so I'll give the same response. It seems like the question is asking you to give the content of each section. (E. g., Matthew - John, either "The Gospels" or "The Life of Christ"). Okay, so "Give a description of each grouping". What do you know about Genesis? What can you find there?

4 | Heaven isn't capitalized because...? | Bible general Archive 2 | bjh | 98763 | ||
Editors preference, I guess. (Kind of like using "bible" instead of "Bible"). Punctuation is a recent addition to languages (like somewhere in the last 500 years). As for capitalization, some, if not all of the earlier manuscripts used all CAPS and no spaces. |

5 | what is the meaning of the name Boaz? | Bible general Archive 2 | bjh | 107066 | ||
I'm not sure the answer is found in the Bible but this is what I found... Boaz means... "In Him is Strength" Copyright info... Youngblood, Ronald F.

6 | About Premillenialism... | Bible general Archive 2 | bjh | 107946 | ||
Since you asked "what scriptures" I'll file this under general. Basically Premillennialism is the idea where Christ's second coming is followed by a thousand year reign on David's throne. Rev 20:1-6 Gives the time. Romans 8:18-22 talks about creation being restored from its subjection. (As opposed to being burned up, as in 2 Peter 3) How? Answer - millennial reign of Christ. Isaiah 11 also speaks of the millennium. Note the restored earth in terms of the animal kingdom. Daniel 2:34-35, 44-45. Note how the stone destroys the other kingdoms so that not a trace of them is left. We don't see this today, so when? Answer: The millennial kingdom. Back to Rev 20. Note that the Bible says that Satan will be bound and imprisoned for 1000 years. Yet, we know that today Satan prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (1 Peter 5:8). Yet, we see that there is death and a curse, Isaiah 65:20. Again, not today - few people, if any would consider 100 youthful. Answer - millennial kingdom. 1 Cor 15:20-28 - Christ will come, and all of His people will be raised. He will reign until he has subjected all his enemies. After that, he will deliver up the kingdom to the Father. |

7 | About Premillenialism... | Bible general Archive 2 | bjh | 109362 | ||
I don't see these passages as being figurative. What makes you say they are figurative? Maybe its a matter of one's own interpretation. For example, the Jews look at Isaiah 53 and declare it "figurative" and say it describes the nation of Israel. As believers, we say that it refers to the Messiah. You don't have to be convinced. You asked what premillennialists believed. I responded. However, for the record, from my standpoint, premillennialism has the strongest Biblical support of any eschatalogical scheme. |

8 | Jesus era called? | Bible general Archive 2 | bjh | 145072 | ||
Jesus' era is AD from the latin "Anno Domini" - translated "the Year of Our Lord". | ||||||
9 | Death? Where do you go when you die? | NT general Archive 1 | bjh | 124166 | ||
Consider the following... 1) Jesus told the thief on the cross, "Today you will be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43) 2) Stephen cried out to the Lord, "Lord Jesus receive my spirit." (Acts 7:59) 3) The ultimate destination is not the present heaven, but rather the New Heaven and New Earth. (Rev 21-22) |

10 | How many books did paul write? | NT general Archive 1 | bjh | 153004 | ||
Paul wrote Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians Galatians Ephesians Philippians Colossians 1 and 2 Thessalonians 1 and 2 Timothy Titus Philemon For a total of 13 books (Hebrews is debated, but I would say "no" based on Hebrews 2:3-4 - Paul was an eyewitness, he was taught by Christ Himself, and performed the signs of an apostle. The author of Hebrews talks about others who did and claims none of this himself.) |

12 | Was the curse on the ground lifted? | Gen 8:21 | bjh | 177484 | ||
Personally, and I know there will be those who disagree, I think the Adamic curse on the ground will only be lifted at Christ's second coming. Romans 8:18-22... Evidence that the original curse, c.f. Gen 3, is still there... 1. Toil 2. Thorns and Thistles Perhaps in Genesis 8 it is saying there won't be an additional curse. The ground has been cursed to us. We have to deal with the thorns and thistles. We, humans in general, have to work hard, to toil and sweat to get crops. But, there hasn't been another worldwide flood and there never will be. |
||||||
13 | Was the curse on the ground lifted? | Gen 8:21 | bjh | 177523 | ||
But, looking at Romans 8, the present earth has yet to be restored. The cleaned earth, the Restored earth, the freed earth, is yet to come. Not to say it "has been" set free, but rather it "will be"... future tense. Whatever we eat, even though we're able to eat anything according to Acts 10, we're still under the Genesis 3 curse. Work is still hard, toilsome, tiring, and exhausting. All that is directly related to the Genesis 3 curse. Is it not? |

14 | Was the curse on the ground lifted? | Gen 8:21 | bjh | 177863 | ||
Brian, Something doesn't gel. Here's how I understand the verses you listed. 1) 1 John 1:5-10 speaks to believers about fellowship and sin's effect on our our fellowship with God. 2) Eph 2:10 speaks of the good works which God prepared for us to do 3) Luke 11:9-13 speaks of the goodness and graciousness of our Father in Heaven 4) Romans 2:1-16 speaks about the condemnation of the Jew... but incidentally, thinking about verse 1, why assume that I won't study the Book if you discussed all the verses? 5) 2 Corinthians 9:6-10 talks about giving not work 6) Colossians 3:16-17 says "do all in the name of the Lord Jesus" but says nothing about work not being hard, tiring, or exhausting. Why does Christ commend the Ephesians for their toil? (Rev 2:2) What is "toil"? Why does Paul tell Timothy that "we labor and strive"? (1 Timothy 4:10) What does it mean to "strive"? For that matter, what is "labor"? |

15 | Was the curse on the ground lifted? | Gen 8:21 | bjh | 178411 | ||
You seem to be very fond of your analogy, but you haven't explained anything. 3) Luke 11:9-13, if you found the fruit, would you be willing to share it with others? 4) The context of Romans 2 is the condemnation of the Jew, for they did not live up to the standard by which they judged others. 5) Please explain... 6) ditto. Answers: You assume too much... I am no good at basketball or cooking. My answer to both would be "foolishness". |

16 | Gensis 9:6 : whoever sheds man's blood | Gen 9:6 | bjh | 144905 | ||
Basically, God is introducing capital punishment (the death penalty). See also Romans 13. Note verse 4. It is God's purpose for government to bring wrath on those who do wrong - even if it means death for the offender. Murder is the ultimate offense because God made man in His image. It is not our place to take the life of another (outside of what God has ordained - again, read Romans 13). |

17 | Does Deut. 24:1 still apply? | Deut 24:4 | bjh | 106084 | ||
When we look at divorce, we must take into account all the passages that speak about it. We must understand that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). Divorce is tied to the seventh commandment (Ex 20:14; Matthew 19:9). Divorce is sin. So, on the one hand, it seems like your question is, "do two wrongs make a right?". No, of course not. See also Matthew 5:32. I think Deut 24:1-4 still applies. Why do you ask? |
||||||
18 | What about NT laws concerning divorce? | Deut 24:4 | bjh | 106096 | ||
Are you saying that adultery is okay now? (Luke 16:18) Divorce doesn't seem to be right in the New Testament either. (1 Cor 7:10-11) |
||||||
19 | Does Deut. 24:1 still apply? | Deut 24:4 | bjh | 106185 | ||
In the NASB, the word in Malachi and Matthew is divorce, not "putting away". However, even if we were to use the ASV, KJV or Darby's Bible, we would see that in the context of the verses in question,(Mal 2:14-16; Matt. 19:3-9) the Bible itself equates "putting away" with divorce. | ||||||
20 | What about NT laws concerning divorce? | Deut 24:4 | bjh | 106186 | ||
The argument was raised that this verse in Deuteronomy doesn't apply because it was OT. My response was that there are also NT verses that regulate divorce. My point was that because divorce is equated with adultery, divorce is wrong. |
