If it's PI you want. PI you will get. 1Ki 7:23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. PI is the circumference of a circle divided by the diameter. Using the information from the quoted scripture above, that would give a result of 3, 30/10. However, if we delve into the Hebrew words used we find something very interesting, specifically for the word line. If we look this verse up in Strong's Concordance the word line has three numbers: line [06957] (8675) [06961] The number in the middle, 8675 tells about the other 2. Basically, what has happened in such a case is the original writer used an unusual form of the word. Translators kept the unusual form, but also added the usual form of the word. I am glad they did. 06961 or qaveh is the unusual form of the word line. You will find it is used only three times in the Bible. 06957 or qav is the usual form found 21 times. The Hebrews did not have separate characters for numbers and letters. Characters in their langauge represented both numbers and letters. If we take the ratio of the gematriacal value of each form of the word line, qaveh being 111 and qav being 106 111/106 gives the ratio 1.0471698113207547169811320754717 Multiply that by the original ratio from the circumference to diameter, 3 and you get: 3.1415094339622641509433962264151 That is PI correct to 4 decimal places. Praise the Lord! Norm P.S. Here is an online Strong's Concordance I find very useful: http://www.blueletterbible.org/search.html |

In 1 Corinthians 14. The MacArthur Study Bible does a very good job in explaining. I'll add an excerpt at the end. Speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance is not the same as the gift of tongues. Praise the Lord! Norm MacArthur Study Bible for 1 Corinthians 14:2-39 14:2–39 Although it is not indicated consistently in some translations, the distinction between the singular tongue and the plural tongues is foundational to the proper interpretation of this chapter. Paul seems to use the singular to distinguish the counterfeit gift of pagan gibberish and the plural to indicate the genuine gift of a foreign language (see note on v. 2). It was perhaps in recognition of that, that the King James Version (KJV) translators added consistently the word “unknown” before every singular form (see vv. 2, 4, 13, 14, 19, 27). The implications of that distinction will be noted as appropriate. Against the backdrop of carnality and counterfeit ecstatic speech learned from the experience of the pagans, Paul covers 3 basic issues with regard to speaking in languages by the gift of the Holy Spirit: 1) its position, inferior to prophecy (vv. 1–19); 2) its purpose, a sign to unbelievers not believers (vv. 20–25); and 3) its procedure, systematic, limited, and orderly (vv. 26–40).

5 | Trinity Doctrine? | Bible general Archive 2 | TheFinalSQL | 107915 | ||
Excellent question. Read it, MT 28:19 in comparsion to the great comission in the other gospels: (KJV) Lu 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Mr 16:14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Something you did leave out in your question is the name. Mt 28:19 says to baptize in the name. What is the name of the Father? What is the name of the Son? What is the name of the Holy Ghost/Spirit? Matthew 1:18, John 5:43, John 14:26 Jesus said in Matthew 28:18 "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." If these are three persons, how much power does the Father have? How much power does the Holy Ghost have? I think the biggest confusion is "Who is Jesus?" The Son and the Father prior to the cross were two separate entities. However, that is not the case now. Isa 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Php 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Is God above Lord? Isa 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. No, God is Lord. Is the name of our Lord Jesus Christ? Mine is. NASB Rev 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." The quoted portion of the scripture about is Jesus's words in red. Jesus said in this verse that he is the Almighty. Praise the Lord! Thank you Jesus! Norm |

I see there is no point going any further with this. 2Pe 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

8 | HONOR THY SABBATH | Bible general Archive 2 | TheFinalSQL | 117189 | ||
Easter and Christmas were attempts to take pagan holidays and make them Christian, to lure pagans deceitfully to Christianity. Jesus never taught such methods. As for the festivals you mention: Colossians 2:13-17 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. Praise the Lord! Norm |

9 | 40 Days | Bible general Archive 2 | TheFinalSQL | 121581 | ||
Here are some, though they do not come right out and give his age. I believe it is as close as we can get. Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks equals 483 years From Jerusalem rebuilt, there are more than one decree to rebuild, but this is the only one that mentions rebuilding the city, not the temple: Nehemiah 2:8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me. King Artaxerxes' reign seems to be rather well documented as beginning in 465/464 BC depending on whose calendar you want to use. Feel free to search the internet in regard to his reign. This decree being in the 20th year would put the decree in the year of 445/444 BC. To the Messiah the Prince: Luke 19:37-40 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. This is the first time the Jesus publicly proclaimed himself the Messiah. We also know he did not live much longer after this being the first day of the week and being crucified on the 6th day of the same week: John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. One more thing to take into account is the length of a biblical year. Looking at the tribulation in Daniel/Revelations and the account of Noah's flood, we can deduce a biblical year to be 360 days. Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. Genesis 8:3-4 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. Thus 483 years X 360 days equals 173880 Counting 173880 days from 445/444 BC will put you at 32/33 AD Of course trying to narrow down his exact age using our poor excuse for a calendar I do not think is possible. Praise the Lord! Norm |

13 | Who says the Sabbath is on Sunday | Bible general Archive 2 | TheFinalSQL | 124194 | ||
There is no verse in the Bible that says you are to worship God on the Sabbath or any other day. There is no set schedule to do anything in the Bible. I've posted this in this thread, but I will post it again: Galatians 4:8-11 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. We think since we are told that Jesus rose on the first day of the week he rose on a Sunday. Can you look up in the sky(Genesis 1:14) and tell what day Sunday is? I can not, but I can count 14 days from the new moon after the vernal equinox(Exodus 12:2) and know Jesus died on the 14th day of the same month(Exodus 12:6) and that he rose 3 days and 3 nights after this.(Matthew 12:40) Here is an example of how we are to do things now: 1 Corinthians 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. We are not to take communion weekly,monthly, or annually. We are to take it as often as we would. There is no set schedule. Regarding the sabbath here is how we now rest, seeing that Jesus fulfilled, not abolished, but completed the law: Hebrews 4:1-10 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Praise the Lord! Norm |

"The Bible says that through one man, sin entered the world. I am not aware of a scripture that says it is transmitted through the blood. Please advise on this. Jesus was born of a woman, but he did not sin. Jesus also, while in the image of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be exploited, but humbled himself, taking the form of a slave, and being made in the likeness of men. So was he also formed in iniquity? Please advise on this.The Bible says that through one man, sin entered the world. I am not aware of a scripture that says it is transmitted through the blood. Please advise on this. Jesus was born of a woman, but he did not sin. Jesus also, while in the image of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be exploited, but humbled himself, taking the form of a slave, and being made in the likeness of men. So was he also formed in iniquity? Please advise on this." You hit the nail on the head. Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Sin entered into the world through Adam, not Eve. Jesus was not formed in iniquity, not only did Jesus not sin, there was no sin nature in him: 1 John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. There was no sin in Jesus because his father was not a man, but the Holy Ghost: Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. This is how the blood of Jesus can be substituted for our blood to wash away our sins. Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. If Jesus's blood was not shed it would have had no power to take away our sins: Hebrews 9:15-17 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Praise the Lord! Norm |

You understand it correctly. Yes, Jesus definately had the opportunity to sin, but a sin nature is not required to have the ability to sin. Adam and Eve did not have a sin nature yet they did sin. Genesis 2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Praise the Lord! Norm |

18 | Lucifer kicked out of heaven | Bible general Archive 2 | TheFinalSQL | 127002 | ||
I am mindful of your feelings. Here is a scripture to take into account in regard to Satan's fall from heaven. NASB: Luke 10:18 And He said to them, I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. KJV: Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Reading Revelation 12 it does make it difficult to determine what happened when. Reading Matthew 4 Jesus being led to the wilderness to be tempted... I think I just found the answer. I see what you are saying of Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28. I think they serve a dual purpose. Luke 10:18 is past tense. Jesus seen Satan fall from heaven. Now lets look at Isaiah 14:12 Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! Notice fallen is past tense. Just as Luke 10:18 Ezekiel 28:16 however is future tense Ezekiel 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. I will cast out, future tense. Fall from heaven, past tense. I would have to conclude falling from heaven and being cast out from heaven as being two different events. Satan's fall from heaven has aleady happened, but Satan has not yet been cast out from heaven. Praise the Lord! Norm |
