3521 | I didn't see any response to bcb... | Mark 15:34 | Makarios | 7615 | ||
Yes, Ray, I agree that bcb did provide a good post! Ryrie's Study Bible states concerning this verse in Matt. 27:46, "Jesus is quoting Psalm 22:1 in its Aramaic form, except that "Eloi" (Mark 15:34) has been reconverted to the Hebrew Eli. This cry may reflect the desertion Jesus felt as He was bearing the sins of the world (2 Cor. 5:21)." |

3522 | For the One with us? | Col 3:17 | Makarios | 7614 | ||
Good point, Ray.. And I agree that we should all take special note of where something is capitalized and where it is not. Blessings, Nolan! | ||||||
3523 | Test the spirits | Acts 21:4 | Makarios | 7613 | ||
Ryrie's Study Bible says, concerning this verse in the commentary of Acts 20:22, "Paul was being led by the Holy Spirit to go to Jerusalem, knowing that capture awaited him there (Acts 20:23). Those who later tried to dissuade him (Acts 21:4) did so because they knew through the Spirit what was ahead for him." And yes, Spirit should be capitalized, referring to the Holy Spirit. Good answer, Ray! |

3524 | we are God's | Col 1:3 | Makarios | 7611 | ||
Yes! It is great to know that taboney! This is a wonderful fact that we all hold so dear! My prayer is that your family would always know Him and strive to follow Him in all of your endeavors! Praise the Lord! | ||||||
3525 | please memorise verse. | Phil 4:13 | Makarios | 7610 | ||
Very true, very true taboney! And my prayer is that you and your wife would remain true and rely on His strength at all times! I will pray for you and for your strength in Christ! And may your child grow to be strong in the faith that we hold so dear! You have my every blessing, Nolan! | ||||||
3526 | Love...its all about love | John 15:4 | Makarios | 7609 | ||
Also, Nelson's NKJV Study Bible states concerning John 15:4, "For the branch to produce more fruit, it must abide, which means to dwell, to stay, to settle in, to sink deeper. The way to abide in Christ is to obey (see John 15:10; 1 John 3:24). The believer who lovingly obeys the Word of God produces much fruit." Also, The MacArthur Study Bible (NKJV) states, "The word 'abide' means to remain or stay around. The 'remaining' is evidence that salvation has already taken place (1 John 2:19) and not vice versa. The fruit or evidence of salvation is continuance in service to Him and in His teaching (John 8:31; 1 John 2:24; Col. 1:23). The abiding believer is the only legitimate believer. Abiding and believing actually are addressing the same issue of genuine salvation (Heb. 3:6-19). For a discussion of the perseverance of the saints, see note on Matt. 24:13".. |

3527 | Love...its all about love | John 15:4 | Makarios | 7608 | ||
Good question, soladescriptura! We must know His love and experience that in our lives in order to show others His love for us and for each and every human being. | ||||||
3528 | God will not erase names of Christians. | NT general Archive 1 | Makarios | 7607 | ||
Excellent post JVH! The NASB Study Bible (Zondervan) tells us that, "'book of life'. A divine ledger is first mentioned in Ex. 32:32-33 (see note on Psalm 69:28; cf. Dan. 12:1). It was a register of all citizens in the kingdom community. To have one's name erased from this book would indicate loss of citizenship (see Rev. 13:8; 17:8; 20:12,15; 21:27; Philippians 4:3)." Nelson's NKJV Study Bible comments, "The Book of Life is the list of the eternally redeemed (Rev. 20:12,15). To not blot out is a figure of speech, affirming a positive by negating its opposite. Thus it means "I will include their names." Blot out likely alludes to Exodus 32:32,33, where God says He will blot out sinners, but not faithful ones like Moses, from His Book. Christ will make sure the faithful believer's name and works are not erased, but remembered and honored." |

3529 | Uprightness is...scepter of Thy kingdom | Psalm | Makarios | 7606 | ||
Good point Ray V.H.! And the Jehovah's Witnesses wouldn't render John 1:1 with capitals, leaving it lowercased in their book, The New World Translation. Every Christian should avoid such a book! | ||||||
3530 | Books that have influenced you most? | Eccl 12:12 | Makarios | 7456 | ||
Greetings and Blessings dear Hank! Good to hear from you and see you back from your exile! I pray that you will find hospitality here once again and not become too frustrated, my friend.. :) Good to have you back! As far as books go, there are many that have influenced me: "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis, "The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe" by C.S. Lewis, "Pilgrim's Progress" by Bunyan, St. Augustine's "Confessions", Dante's "Inferno", "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque, "The Once and Future King" by T.H. White, "The Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien, "First Battles" by Atkins, "More than a Carpenter" by Josh McDowell, anything by Oswald Chambers (especially his daily devotional), "Beowulf" by Homer, "This Present Darkness" by Frank Peretti, and of course, the GRAND CHAMPION, Book of books, is the BIBLE! | ||||||
3531 | God's promises are in Christ | Bible general Archive 1 | Makarios | 7450 | ||
Yes! God's promises are in Christ! One only needs to read Genesis 49:10,11, 2 Samuel 7:16, and follow the geneology in Matthew 1:1-17 to see that God's promises to His people were fulfilled, are fulfilled, and will be fulfilled by Jesus Christ, who was the fullness of God in bodily form! And in Christ, we have our promise also- that He will redeem us through His blood. This is our promise if we remain faithful to Him, for His eyes are on the righteous! | ||||||
3532 | Jesus's mother last name and his brother | Bible general Archive 1 | Makarios | 7395 | ||
Good question, Thedeak! Why didn't people have last names or surnames? It appears that 'Iscariot' may be a surname for Judas even though Steve pointed out that people would be known as 'bar' or "son of".. Good observation! It may be that Judas wanted to 'distinguish' himself from all of the other men named Judas (common name) by using the surname. We see that Mary Magdalene used a surname to help to distinguish herself from all of the other Marys, which was a very common name for a woman (and still is). | ||||||
3533 | Please take the time to make a Profile! | Bible general Archive 1 | Makarios | 7393 | ||
Greetings fellow members of the Forum!I just want to take this time to encourage everyone to fill out their "Forum profile" so that other members can have a honest picture of who they are meeting (pastor, missionary, what part of the world, etc.) and sharing Scripture with. Thank you!Your fellow brother in Christ,Nolan | ||||||
3534 | The "rock" on which Jesus built church? | Matt 16:18 | Makarios | 7392 | ||
Great question, Hank! (I'm still going through your postings..) I know that every good Catholic out there would probably take issue with us here, but I am also in agreement with JVH and jim.. Ryrie's Study Bible comments, " 'you are Peter'. The name Peter (Gk., Petros) means "rock" or "rock-man". In the next phrase Christ used petra (upon this rock), a feminine form for "rock", not a name. Christ used a play on words. He does not say "upon you, Peter" or "upon your successors," but "upon this rock"- upon this divine revelation and profession of faith in Christ. 'I will build' shows that the formation of the church was still in the future. It began on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2). The word church appears in the Gospels only here and in 18:17. 'gates of Hades' The entrance into Hades, which is physical death; i.e., the physical death of Christ (mentioned immediately in v. 21) will not impede the progress of the church simply because He would be raised from the dead."The Oxford Annotated RSV also adds.. "For the view that all the apostles also form the foundation of the church, see Eph. 2:20, Rev. 21:14. "Church" see Galations 1:13.."Are there any Catholics out there that are members of the Forum? | ||||||
3535 | What is the word "Abaddon" referring to? | Job 26:6 | Makarios | 7291 | ||
Greetings brother Tim! I appreciate the information and feedback on 'obscure proper nouns of the Bible' :) (ex. Abaddon, Wormwood).. Thank you and you have proven to be a very helpful and delightful brother on the Forum! Your brother in Christ,Nolan Keck | ||||||
3536 | Babies and young children a distraction? | Bible general Archive 1 | Makarios | 7290 | ||
Thanks again, JVH0212, for a good response!However, I know several families that have left churches simply because the general agreement of the church body didn't approve of children taking part in worship. Can we communicate this tactfully without threatening church attendance or membership? Also, what does a family do if they are concerned that a child will not be supervised as closely as they should be in a nursery or Sunday School and what if a child is hurt or allowed to be 'bullied' by another child in nursery without close supervision? This puts a family at a disadvantage and poses them to seriously confront the question. A family that I know of and am good friends with has come to the conclusion to just keep their children in church, so that the parents can keep close watch on them (regardless if they disrupt church or thwart the attention). I know that this may sound silly and trivial, but these are some real issues that involve churches and small children. | ||||||
3537 | Babies and young children a distraction? | Bible general Archive 1 | Makarios | 7283 | ||
Thanks to you both, brother charis and JVH as well as prayon for your in-depth reasoning behind this 'sanctuary issue'.. :) This Sunday morning, I was setting in a church pew right next to a family with about 5 young little boys that were simply not into the pastor's sermon or proceedings at all, and the wife and husband of this proud family alternated with each other in quiet 'understanding', leading the children out of the service when they began to cry! When the husband was out (his turn), the wife gave me an apologetical smile and I smiled back in understanding. :) Meanwhile, the pastor was giving his message. This family can almost always be found sitting in the back row or pew of my church, and for understandable reasons.. :) We do have a nursery, but many people have 'chosen' to include their children, no matter how young they are! Should there be a 'mandate' or rule enforced to keep young ones at bay in a place separate from the sanctuary? Is that necessary? Thanks for all of your thoughts and depth of understanding from experience! | ||||||

Thank you Minister! I will consult you at your e-mail address for special needs, prayers, and things of that nature. Your uplifting and biblical guidance towards holiness is much appreciated, my friend! Thank you, and I look forward to communicating more with you on the Forum! | ||||||
3539 | Newcomer's Guide to the Forum | 2 Tim 2:15 | Makarios | 7223 | ||

3540 | NAS like the NWT??? I HOPE NOT! | Bible general Archive 1 | Makarios | 7213 | ||
Hello roverjbh99, I agree with charis' post above.. What you have here is some 'literature' from the KJV Onlyism group. This 'literature' should be disregarded and thrown in the trash. I've seen lists like that before, any many others! Pay no attention to it. They are chasing their own tails: they say that they are acting on behalf of the Truth while actually carrying out the work of satan.I can give you a whole list of sites that advocate KJV Onlyism. I also know a handful of sites that promote the other versions of the Bible as well. | ||||||
