Emmaus: I am enjoying the New American Bible, which I recently purchased. I haven't read every word of it, but from what I've seen so far it appears to be a literal, honest and accurate translation. I find the footnotes very helpful. Thank you for your previous recommendation of the St. Joseph Edition. I've looked at it in the bookstore, but have not yet purchased it. Grace and shalom, kalos |

I recommend the NRSV HARPER STUDY BIBLE: Expanded and Updated, study helps written by Harold Lindsell, Zondervan, 1991 (ISBN: 0310902037). (Available at Amazon.com) (Note: it is NOT the HarperCollins Study Bible that I recommend. That is an entirely different book.) I have enjoyed this study Bible for years and would recommend it to anyone. It contains study notes from a conservative, evangelical perspective. The study notes were edited by the late Dr. Harold Lindsell, an evangelical theologian known for his defense of biblical inerrancy. I see you already have the NIV Study Bible. This is one of the most denominationally neutral study Bibles I've seen. It seems to me the study notes are well-balanced, not pushing teachings from any particular denominational perspective. Finally, I recommend the online article, HOW TO CHOOSE A STUDY BIBLE by John R. Kohlenberger III at (www.equip.org/free/DB135.htm). |

505 | why don't people study the old testmant | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 115033 | ||
The starting point -- indeed the foundation -- of the entire Bible is the Torah (the five books of Moses, the Pentateuch, the first five of the OT). Sh'ma, Yisra'el! ADONAI Eloheinu, ADONAI echad [Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord is one]. Deut. 6:4-9 (ESV) "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. [5] You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. [6] And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. [7] You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. [8] You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. [9] You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. |

ischus: You write: "I encourage you to study and teach the Old Testament as much as possible!" Excellent advice! And that is exactly what I am doing and shall continue to do. I thank you for the encouragement. It has been well said that the OT is the NT ENfolded and the NT is the OT UNfolded. If the New Testament is not the Old Testament unfolded, then what is it? This, of course, is a rhetorical question which requires no answer. I am convinced that this is exactly what the NT is. On the subjects of the Torah (Pentateuch, law) and the OT (Tanakh) there is much more I could say and will say every chance I get. :-) Grace and shalom, kalos |

You can go online and read the text of the New American Bible (NAB) including the excellent footnotes at (http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/index.htm) I don't know much about the St. Joseph Edition. You can look it up at amazon.com to read a description and customer reviews. I prefer reviews written by customers (real people) over those written by editors, professional reviewers and various scholars. Nothing wrong with the latter group, but I can relate more to the needs and expectations of non-professionals and how and to what degree these are met for ordinary, everyday laypersons. I recommend you ask the user Emmaus for more information on the St. Joseph Study Edition. Emmaus is very knowledgeable in the Bible and a person you can trust. |

'For those who say we are not required to keep the Law, I ask, "Just which one of those Ten Commandments were you planning on NOT keeping?"' ____________________ I Believe in the 'Consistent Truth of the Torah '"I came not to destroy the Law or the Prophets" - Matthew 5:17 'The New Covenant teaches that we are saved by grace. Everyone has failed to keep the Law. Through the atonement of Yeshua's work on the cross, we are set free from the punishment that is due us for having broken the perfect standard of the Law. In that sense, we are no longer "under the Law." 'However that does not mean that the moral absolutes of the Law are no longer applicable to us. The New Covenant does not "do away" with the Law in that sense, but rather writes it in our hearts (Jeremiah 31:31). For any system of truth to be valid, it must be consistent with itself. Contradictions disprove truth. If the New Covenant were to contradict previously given scriptures in the Law or the Prophets, then the New Covenant would not be true. 'In the Sermon on the Mount, Yeshua does not contradict the Ten Commandments, but rather instructs us as to what is the true "heart-meaning" of the Law. In that sense He makes the Law even more demanding. For those who say we are not required to keep the Law, I ask, "Just which one of those Ten Commandments were you planning on NOT keeping?" Christianity, without a proper understanding of Torah, loses its own moral courage and integrity' (Seven Pillars of Messianic Judaism, Asher Intrater, 2003. Quoted in my User Profile.) --kalos |

Hank: You write: "It [StudyBibleForum] is designed to be a Forum in which the Bible is the text and posts are expositions and exegeses on that text. Anything beyond that leads us off course." I have no particular individual in mind when I say that anyone who has trouble understanding or accepting what you wrote would be well advised to refrain from posting until they do understand and accept it. The following gets my vote for Quote of the Week. Hank writes: "If a disciple of Christ does not know the word, he should get busy right now and learn it!" RIGHT NOW! --kalos |

Don't let anyone lead you astray with empty philosophy and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the evil powers of this world, and not from Christ. Colossians 2:8 NLT See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes you yourselves captive by his so-called philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense), following human tradition (men's ideas of the material rather than the spiritual world), just crude notions following the rudimentary and elemental teachings of the universe and disregarding [the teachings of] Christ (the Messiah).

511 | 2nd ? Did Spirit save them? | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 115170 | ||
You ask: "When the Holy Spirit fell on the apostles at pentecost, was that to save them or just to give them the ability to speak in tongues?" I reply: Neither! If those are the only two options, then I have a problem or two. First, the Holy Spirit does not indwell OR fill the unregenerate, those who are hostile to God (Romans 8:7). Second, the notion that the sole reason the Holy Spirit filled (according to Acts 2:4, "filled" not "baptized") them was so they could speak in tongues is unacceptable. It defies all that we know about the Holy Spirit and His purposes. --kalos |

Ischus: I recommend to you the book "Restoring the Jewishness of the Gospel: A Message for Christians" by David H. Stern (Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1988, ISBN: 9653590014). It is available at amazon.com and other online booksellers. Anyone desiring to learn more about the Jewish Messianic movement (Jewish roots movement) is well advised to begin with this book. I quote from amazon.com: 'A book the whole Church needs to read! A challenge to conventional Christian ideas! Clear thinking about neglected questions such as: - What central truth, ignored for 1800 years, must be restored if the Church is to fulfill the Great Commission? - How are both the Jews and the Church God's people? - Is there a difference between Jew and Gentile in the body of the Messiah? - Will God fulfill all of his promises to Israel? - Does the Law of Moses remain in force today? - Is the Church antisemitic? If so, what can you do about it? - Should the Church evangelize Jews today? If so, how? 'Surprising answers to these and other crucial questions, along with suggestions for godly action, are given in this exciting and insightful book by an Israeli Messianic Jew, a Jew who trusts Yeshua (Jesus)' (www.amazon.com). Try it, you'll like it. Grace and shalom, kalos |

515 | what does slain in the spirit mean? | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 115521 | ||
Hank: I've found a Bible version that is even poorer than the New World Translation. It is largely based on speculation. Few verses in this translation mean the same as they do in the KJV, NKJV, NIV, NASB, etc. A high percentage of it is translated by people who are proficient in neither Hebrew, Greek nor English. Many of the translators never use an English, Hebrew or Greek dictionary nor any other reference book. This version is not internally consistent, to say the least. In fact, most of the verses in it have alternate renderings that are widely divergent from and contradictory to each other. One could say that every passage is the choice of the majority, since the vast minority refuse to have anything to do with it, even though all of them are members of the same organization. Fortunately, the translators have never been together in the same room. If they had there would have been numerous fistfights. This is one of those rare books that costs exactly what it is worth, which is nothing. Can you guess what version this might be? kalos |

Hank: What translation is even poorer than the NWT? What translation fits the description I have given? The answer is: The StudyBibleForum Electronic Bible, which falls somewhere between paraphrase and the Twilight Zone. It's like a free thinking, free wheeling, free-of-fact commentary with an occasional verse of the real Bible in its unlimited margin. Call it an ever growing "waste repository". --kalos |

'The resulting misguided pronunciation...[J]ehovah, continued in English Bible translations until early in the twentieth century. Evidence from Greek usage in the Christian era points to the two-syllable pronunciation, "Yahweh."' ____________________ 'Yahweh/Yah. yhwh, the tetragrammaton because of its four letters, is, strictly speaking, the only proper name for God. It is also the most frequent name, occurring in the Old Testament 6,828 times (almost 700 times in the Psalms alone)... 'English Bibles represent the name yhwh by the title "Lord" (written in capitals to distinguish it from "lord" [adonai]).' 'In the postexilic period the Jews, for reverence reasons, did not pronounce the name but substituted for it the word adonai (lord), and in written form attached these vowels to the tetragrammaton. The resulting misguided pronunciation of the name yhwh as a three-syllable word, Y [J]ehovah, continued in English Bible translations until early in the twentieth century. Evidence from Greek usage in the Christian era points to the two-syllable pronunciation, "Yahweh."' ____________________ (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/BakersEvangelicalDictionary/bed.cgi) |

Colin: Glad to hear you purchased the two books. It will be tempting to just dive right into the main body of both. Nothing wrong with that. But I urge you to read the introductions to the two books. I enjoyed them and have even read the Bible introduction twice. I've only had the JNTC a couple of weeks now. I borrowed my brothers copy and immediately decided to order my own. I'd like to just sit down and read it straight through and, who knows, maybe I will. Enjoy. And thanks for sharing the news. Shalom, kalos |
