2202 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | stjohn | 208251 | ||
Amen, and amen brother Hank! Sir, would you mind very much, if I quoted you on this? There are a few dear brothers and sisters that I know out here, that could use a good dose of this kind of good old common sense, which is, as you know, not so common.... A side note; on "being remembered after we're gone". Upon retiring as a long time school administrator, and lofty position of 'District Director of Schools' while he was thinking and reflecting that, he would be well missed: This friend of mine, was told by his wise old father in law, --"If you put your elbow in a bucket of water, then quickly, pull it out...... the time it takes to fill the hole in the water, that was left by the absence of your elbow, will be about how long it will take to fill your shoe's in your position in school administration."-- :-) God bless you, dear brother Hank!

You make some very good point's, brother Steve. I don't know if I could disagree with any of them. Well said too! :-) God bless John |

Don't worry Doc, anything I say is usually without context and pretty garbled anyway! Brother Hank has nothing to worry about as far as it being attributed to him, everyone will assume I'm just blabbing my usual drivel.... :-) | ||||||

Hi budderfligh, I'm sorry it took so long to get around to respond, I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you, and just wanted to say, thanks for your thoughts. Shalom and God bless John |

Hi Budderfligh: nope, I didn't include it, although, all scripture is for our benefit. :-) When we see a scripture included in a thread-line, or whatever you call the line of info about a note, a question or an answer, such as username, time, date, etc. it is there from the start of the thread. When we answer a question, we are required to use a scripture from a drop-down menu, or if one scripture does not suit the answer, we can use "New Testament" or "Old Testament" or just "Bible general" from the drop-down menu; but if we are just posting a question or a note, it's not required to do so; but the original scripture reference from the original answer in that particular thread, just stays in the thread-line. I hope that helped and I didn't just muddy the water for you? Shalom and God bless, Budderfligh. John |

2207 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | stjohn | 208304 | ||
Dear Lookn... You say; "I do not think one can contend that it was in her nature to disobey God, that is, to sin. It was in her nature to make choices." Well. in that case; she chose to disobey God. That is a sin. You also say; "Finally, that God knew she would transgress did not make its occurrence necessary or inevitable." So you agree that she transgressed? Easton's Bible Dictionary Sin is, "any want of conformity unto or [transgression] of the law of God" -- [brackets] are mine for emphasis God said not to do it, that makes it a law of God, that makes doing it, a sin. Not necessary, or inevitable? I doubt very much that anyone can successfully contend that it was not part of God's plan. The good news is, of course; God has made a way for us to get out of the mire and bondage of sin, and live! John 3:16 And now I leave you with this 'edited' message from Hank, (Thanks Hank!) which is a mirror of my own thoughts on this subject. Shalom and God bless John “I lay no claim whatever to any expertise on matters involving High Theology or anything of the kind, so I'm fairly well limited when it comes to trying to connect the dots. And that is good! It forces me to attempt to speak only where the Bible speaks and to keep my mouth shut where the Bible is silent. I have enough trouble learning and digesting what the Bible clearly reveals, and so it leaves me no time to speculate and ruminate on the things which our loving and all-wise Father chose not to elaborate. God's eternal and unchanging word will be around long after I'm gone. Few indeed are they who care about my opinions now and fewer still will remember them after I've gone. So my candid view about questions such as call for speculations is this: If God did not choose to reveal details, is it our business to worry very much about them? I really don't believe that God expects us to fill in the blanks ourselves nor needs man to take over where He left off, do you? Just how important is it to know about such things? The narrative has endured and imparted the message it was intended to impart for centuries as it is, without being gussied up with all these minute frills and details. Let's be content to learn from it all that it clearly reveals without tarnishing the sacred record by adding our worthless speculation and groundless guesses.” –Hank |

2209 | appointment of pastors in the church | 1 Tim 3:11 | stjohn | 209798 | ||
Hi dbondz: Welcome to the forum! 1 Tim 3:1-7 gives the guidelines for overseers, or what we would call today, pastors. Then v8-13 goes on to describe the qualifications for deacons and, In regard to woman v11 does not describe exactly what office a women may serve in (see Phill 1:1) but simply stats she must be, “dignified, not a malicious gossip, but temperate and faithful in all things”. Though she does fall in the text of describing deacons. Note, that Romans 16:1 speaks of, “our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church” Acts 6:2 also show’s us that pastors should devote their time to the study of god’s word, to better instruct others. This is where women, elders, deacons, sunday-school-teachers and the like, can really help a pastor better preform his duties. I hope this helped you. God bless John |

2211 | Which commandment was he talking about? | 1 Tim 6:14 | stjohn | 201914 | ||
Dear SON; I'd just like to second what Doc has said to you, along with Sister Azure's amen; and also add that, you will find, I'm sure (though we certainly are not perfect) that this forum is different from others that you may have participated in. Many, indeed most, of the regulars here truly strive to keep this place (in compliance with our gracious hosts, Terms Of Use) in the spirit of Christian love, a haven for those who love His Word and want to express love and devotion to one-another as well as to our Lord Jesus in our study of his Blessed Word, together, brothers and sisters, in Christ. Too that, I will add a warm welcome! God bless John |

2212 | 2 TIMOTHY 3:15-16 EXPLANATION | 2 Timothy | stjohn | 198526 | ||
Dear Talchapy; These are the words of Matthew Henry not yours, that is what is called plagiarism and it is like stealing and that is a sin, please give credit where credit is due. There is nothing inherently wrong with quoting others but we should always give them the credit, otherwise we are just putting on airs, showing off, and trying to look like we are something we are not. God bless John |

Hi talchapy, sorry if I came across as judging you, I'll try to be more gracious in the future. Please be careful to site your source in the future as well, this will honor our host and honor our Father too. God bless John |

2214 | What about vs.10 | 2 Tim 1:6 | stjohn | 185101 | ||
Dear Huck; May I say first that I am in total agreement with brother Tim, And beautifully spoken. 2 Tim 1:10 but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, By the work that Jesus did for us on the Cross, that is the perfect sacrifice for sin, as the wages of sin is death, In the Old Testament, the death and blood of a lamb was required as a sacrifice to cover sin, and the animal had to be without spot or blemish. Jesus being without spot or blemish, for 'all' but him only have sinned. He alone did not sin. He is, 'Without spot or blemish'. So, by him becoming sin for sinful man, reveals to us that the whole of Scripture, that is the 'Gospel' in v,10 and by His being raised from the dead, gives us the truth of eternal life, that is 'immortality' in v,10, into the light of 'our' understanding. And by His 'appearing' in v,10, on the seen, and doing this wonderful work for us, "the 'appearing' of our savior Jesus Christ" This has brought into the light for our understanding, the whole of Scripture, which is the 'Gospel'. The whole of the Gospel, points to our savior Jesus Christ, and His perfect sacrifice for the salvation of you and me, into eternal life. He is our 'salvation' "our 'saviour' Jesus Christ" in v,10 And all that come to Him by faith. 'For no-one comes to the Father but by Me' Will have life in Him for eternity! (which is a wonderful gift by the way! don't you think?) Everything about the Old Testament, points forward, To the Cross, and everything about the New Testament points back. to the Cross. It has been said, that the summation of the Gospel is the Cross. Keeping this in mind when reading v,10 helps me a lot. I hope this helps you my friend. Love in Christ. stj |

Dear mamayama1, Welcome to the forum! I don't doubt your sincerity or honesty, but... the 'Bible' says nothing at all about OFO's. You have asked in regard to this subject before and have been given very good, sound biblical advice. You would do very well indeed to follow it. If you'd like to read more biblically based information on this subject please visit: http://www.gotquestions.org/vast-universe.html (and) http://www.gotquestions.org/aliens-UFOs.html This is a Bible study, (Please review terms of use) not a UFO discussion board. Please refrain from asking any more questions about this subject, it has been dealt with quite sufficiently. I hope this doesn't discourage you from visiting us to study God's Word. Thank you. John |

Hi Romans, Welcome to the forum. Good post! but it doesn't seem to be your work, plagiarism is not something we as Christians should do my friend, and by the way, it's a sin. There is nothing wrong with posting sound Biblical answers from the web, but we should let it be known that the work is someone else's and not our own. God bless John |

Dear Sister Val, First I'd like to say that I appreciate your participation here at the forum, and I hope I speak for all the members. For the most part you seem to really strive to help those who come here with questions and are trying to understand God's word. Now I would like to point out, if I may, that It has come to my attention by careful observation that some who come here, however, are just trying to get out of working and doing their own reading to learn and know the scriptures; and, that the wiser of the members here do not encourage such lazybones for their irresponsibility by doing their homework. I have taken this practice, of not encouraging them, to heart, by following the lead of these wiser members, and I hope you will too. Of course, on the one hand we can sometimes not be sure when someone is cheating, but on the other hand, sometimes, it is quite obvious, as in the case of our most recent visitor. I know this is not a rule, but I hope we can agree that it's the responsible and loving thing to do, when we encourage them to do their own reading. I don't know if you have children, but do you suppose that a parent would want someone to do their children's homework for them? Do you think our Father wants us to show these ones that it pays to be lazy? Thank you Sister. God bless John |
