23 | The Problem with WoF in a nutshell | Bible general Archive 2 | tomsweetstir | 96540 | ||
Simply put, I accept ALL of Scripture, not a hit and miss viewpoint according to man's doctrine. I was just reading in 1st Timothy yesterday morning. Please allow me to copy it from my Bible. 1 Tim 4:3ff : “These are the things you must teach and preach. Anyone who teaches different views and does not agree with the wholesome instruction which comes from out Lord Jesus Christ, and with religious teaching is a conceited, ignorant person with a morbid craving for speculations and arguments which result only in envy, quarreling, abuse, base suspicions, and mutual irritation between people of depraved minds, who are lost in the truth and think of religion only as a means of gain. “For we bring nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. If we have food and clothing we will be satisfied. But men who want to get rich fall into temptations and snares and many foolish, harmful cravings, that plunge people into destruction and ruin. ”For the love of money is the root of all evils, and in their eagerness to get rich, some men wander away from the faith and pierce themselves in the heart with many a pang. “But you, man of God, must fly from these things. Strive for uprightness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.” Etc. etc. etc. It sounds to me, the Word of Faith teachers neglect to strive for their listeners to strive for what the Holy Spirit would desire. His word says: “Ask of Me and I will give you nations”... HOw dare we ask HIM for cars, castle-sized homes, pleasure boats, etc. May the Lord bless us with HIMSELF, so we all can rid ourselves of ourself. Tom |

24 | Why didn't Noah stop tower of Babel? | Genesis | tomsweetstir | 95769 | ||
TommyS, either my calculator or yours needs new batteries. The way I added them up, Noah lived about 10 years after Peleg died. Either way, thanks for the "insight". Tom |

Hello Darcy, on my calculator I figured that even Abraham was in his fifties when Noah died. Wow, my old teacher WAS right about math. By learning math one can learn lots of other things too. :) Tom |

Excuse me for "butting in", but the name Methuselah acutally means "His death shall bring." Interesting to think it took him 969 years for his name to take on the meaning his parents gave him, don't you think? Tom |

27 | What does the bible mean by strong drink | OT general | tomsweetstir | 94948 | ||
What about what it says in Deuterononmy 14:24-26? "And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee: 25Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: 26And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,..." Personally, I can't stand the taste - but ... Tom |

28 | Pre-Tribulation Rapture | NT general Archive 1 | tomsweetstir | 94698 | ||
DarcyA, excuse me, but I am confused with something you wrote: “When it comes to the rapture it doesn't really matter if you believe pre, mid, post or don't believe in the rapture at all. Cause we are all going up in the first load.” The various views that you listed all have one thing in common. They EACH DISPROVE all the other “theories”. When Jesus informed His disciples that the temple they had just exited was going to be destroyed, they said, “When is this to happen, AND what will be the sign of your coming AND of the end of the age?“ Jesus IMMEDIATELY instructed His disciples, “DO NOT LET ANYONE DECIEVE you concerning these (three) things.” If there are four people in one room and one uses verses that “prove” pre-trib, and one uses the very same verses to “prove” mid-trib, and one uses the very same verses to prove post-trib, and one uses the same verses to prove there won’t be a rapture at all (I have used the same verses to prove which ever "theory"), well that leaves 75 percent or three out of the four are badly deceived. IT DOES MATTER. There is little else that Scriptures "warn" against being decieved about. Tom P.S. The world is round, so which way is UP for "us" is not for those "down under". |

29 | Is this from one of the "lost books"? | Luke 14:14 | tomsweetstir | 94070 | ||
Thank you for your generous input concerning my accepting communion at a funeral. You were correct in your assumption - it WAS an honest mistake. One I wouldn't have made had I known what you have shared with me. I appreciate your going the “second-mile” by not only explaining what not to do, but why. Truly, we are blessed by you. P.S. Emmaus, just between you and me, I figure I might becoming too old to be asked as a pallbearer anymore anyway. It seems like all the great-nephews are replacing us older generation of cousins and nephews now-a-days. Shhh. Don’t let on that I "know" I’m too old; less I get some eager volunteers to carry mine. :) |

30 | Why did Eve orginally leave the garden? | Gen 3:1 | tomsweetstir | 94069 | ||
Emmaus, I don't know what happened, but I just not found your kind note about the Catholic Scripture Study by scrolling down StudyBibleForum's. I WILL check it out. Thanks for the "tip". Tom |

Again, Emmaus, thank you. Honestly, I appreciate the obvious time you spent (long or short, matters not). Funny, but that one verse in John, which you quoted, will possibly answer many of the other questions that pop into my mind when reading His Word. That courthouse in which you are employed HAS you as an asset. I appreciate you, Emmaus. Sir, may I ask a side-bar, please? Once I was privileged to be a pallbearer for a precious family friend - a strict, Italian Catholic friend. In an overcrowded Saint Mary’s Catholic Church, I sat on the front row with five of the deceased family members. The priest gave us all communion, and I, as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, partook. After the service, interment, and a “reception-dinner”, a non-catholic family member chastised me for partaking in communion. I refused to swallow this person’s claim – “You’ve defiled yourself”. In case I have another opportunity (and privilege), and find myself in a similar situation of being asked to be a pallbearer, should I merely decline, or merely refuse communion, or what? Please advise, and thank you, Emmaus, for being totally candid with any response. Tom |

32 | Why did Eve orginally leave the garden? | Gen 3:1 | tomsweetstir | 94008 | ||
Emmaus, thank you for your insight into my “question”. It has helped me better understand where my “conclusions” went array. You are most likely correct in your assessment. Now, after rereading that portion, I see what you mean. I guess I had better make sure my glasses (both natural and spiritual) are not too smudged before coming to any “assumptions. I believe yours merits much. Thanks again. Tom |

33 | Why did Eve orginally leave the garden? | Gen 3:1 | tomsweetstir | 93978 | ||
Emmaus, wow – you responded to both of my questions from last night. Thank you. Your response to my concept of Eve being outside the garden is understandable. Too often we hear a sermon from some rushed priest or preacher and take it for gospel. Another preacher adds his or her two-bits and pretty soon we have a “doctrine” that doesn’t fit Scripture. When I read His Word, I pay attention to ALL the words, not just the verbs and nouns. In that portion of Scripture, Eve and the serpent are talking about the tree which IS IN THE MIDST of the garden. IF they were standing in the garden, and in particular, next to the tree being discussed, they wouldn’t be making reference “to the tree in the midst of the garden”. They would be making references to “this tree”. It was later that Eve saw that the fruit looked good to eat. And Adam was with her at that time. The four letter word WHEN she saw – tells me that a period of time had transpired since the serpent and she had had their little conversation. Many such words fill that story to prove my point. So I am wondering the same thing still about Eve being where she shouldn’t have been. But I do appreciate your imput, Emmaus. Tom |

Emmaus, the one problem I have with visiting this site, or any site, is time. My days and nights are filled to overfilling with working at the church. PTL Your suggestion that Paul may be paraphrasing Luke 14:14 passage – well, I appreciate that you took the time to respond. Thank you, Emmaus. That stated, I must add Luke’s verse seems to be specifically in the future. Yet, the blessings Paul is suggesting seem to be in the now. Acts 20:35 specifies it IS more blessed to give, not it WILL be. Thanks for your thoughts on this, Emmaus. I appreciate it, but I believe I need to keep digging. Tom |

In Acts. 20:35, Paul said, "...remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive'..." When did Jesus say this, and to who? |

Had Eve never left the garden, would satan have been able to tempt her? It is obvious, just from reading all the clues in Genesis 3, that satan and Eve's discussion began outside the garden. | ||||||

39 | J. Preston Eby? | 2 Cor 11:4 | tomsweetstir | 83056 | ||
Hank, You stated what I have heard many preachers proclaim, even some books I have read - "you might suggest to your friend that she run a tally (using an exhaustive concordance) of the number of Jesus' references to both hell and to heaven in the New Testament. (There are more of hell than of heaven, by the way.)" It's where do the preachers and authors get their information that I don't understand. Don't get me wrong, Hank. I AM NOT SAYING everyone will be saved and somehow delievered from the flames of hell. But according to Strongs Concordance - Jesus talked a lot more about heaven than He talked about hell. Hell is only mentioned a total of 15 times in the Gospels and only 8 times more elsewhere in the New Testament. Heaven is mentioned 130 times in the Gospels and about 108 other times elsewhere. This is just to "keep the records" straight. Keep up the good work. :) I appreciate you. Tom P.S. If I have neglected some detail about this subject that condradicts my conclusion - I am very open to being corrected. |

40 | How do we get our Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | tomsweetstir | 81067 | ||
Hello Tim, Your “How did we get our Bible” is wonderful. Thank you for taking the time it took. I assure you, your efforts were well worth all that time. Ralph Woodrow has written some interesting books. One, “Reckless Rumors, Misinformation, Doomsday Delusions” points out some interesting facts about the KJV only problem. He discounts the reckless rumor of those who “demonize” all other versions. KJV mentions the name of Jesus 983 times. The rest of any “reference” to Jesus is translated “HE”. The NIV mentions the name of Jesus 1,275 times. So which would “seem to be from Satan”? :) In Woodrow’s book “Amazing Discoveries within the Book of Books”, he points out “reformers” like John Huss, Wm Tyndale, Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Knox, etc. ALL DIED before 1611. WHICH translation did they glean truth from. IT WASN'T KJV. Many translators predated King James’. Tyndale translated from Greek to English in 1536. Wyclif translated from Latin to English around 1384. A "1599" translation is available on the net. Speaking of Wyclif’s, we can be grateful, his isn’t the one we “use” today. Matthew 7:1, 2 would read: “Nyl yee deme, that yee be no demede, for in what dome yee demen, yee schulen be demede.” Don’t forget, THIS IS ENGLISH. :) I’m so grateful. Aren’t you? :) Or, for example, the Tyndale’s 1536 translation. 1 Cor. 13:6 … “reioyseth not in iniquite…” Most of those who stand by KJV, rather than “modern revisions” don’t realize that 1611’s underwent major revisions in 1629 and in 1638. In 1762, Thomas Paris corrected many errors, and in 1769, Benjamin Blayney revised it again. Blessings to you, Tim. AND THANKS !!! Tom P.S. I use KJV most, but certainly not all the time. |
