Jensen, I think you fail to have a open mind about numbers. I have done extensive research on biblical numerics, and I've come to the conclusion that they are very prevalent in the Word of God. I never heard Casiv say he was reading Taro cards, or hallmark cards or using poker cards and that he was giving your future, by calling him Miss Cleo was wrong. All he's asking is that you seek it it out. Yes there are more Taro readers out there. everyday on the T.V. It's to steer even the Christians away from the Bible, Doesn't Jesus say "seek and you'll find". If you believe that the Word of God was inspired by God and you want to know all there is to know about the Word, and I know you do, then you will find that there is a significance. First of all there is in every book in the Bible what they call Introverb, and Introbrae, which means that it begins in one subject and ends in the same way. By this you can see that it wasn't written by man. It is written in such a complex way that there is no man who with his intelligent can write it in such a numeric way.Take the time in reading the scriptures, and notice this. Just reading and thinking you know what it means in these end times is not enough. You know when someone will ask, "How can you tell me that the Bible is true?". Every Christian I know says the same thing and most people don't see it. I'm very fortunate to have a Companion Bible to lead the way for me, and it is very necessary to have Strongs Concordance to trust to give you the true meaning of the Word of God . It gives you the true meaning of every word in the Old Testament ( Hebrew, Chaldee, Aramaic), and in the New Testament, the Greek. See I have a problem with anyone that tells you to read a book by someone else. Didn't Jesus say, "trust no man?" Yes, God is there by his Spirit giving you understanding, but we as one's seeking the scriptures are not to just sit back and overlook what it underlying, or obvious. I ask as a concerned friend, that you just make an honest effort to seek them out more thoroughly, and if I'm wrong, then I'll back down. But by insulting Casiv is wrong. We as fellow seekers needing to be there for one another. In the Father's Love, Serenetime | ||||||

Thanks Tim for the information regarding the Strongs Concordance. I do agree that it is also a dictionary, but in the publishers preface in the Strong's is says that "The Main Concordance , which lists every word in the Bible and the reference and context of every appearance of that word. It also includes a dictionary of the Hebrew Bible and a dictionary of the Greek Testament, which give the original Hebrew, Chaldee, and Greek of each word in the Bible and explains it's meaning." It also says that "Mr. Strongs spent 35 years preparing the most complete and what has become the most widely accepted Concordance of the Kings James Version." Which I only use. The Christian Herald, 1947 described this work , "the old classic, the best ever written." I do have to admit that in Hebrew there can be some variation in a meaning of a word, but if you prayerfully and diligently study and search out the scriptures in depth the way my husband and I have for several years you will be given by the Father how to discern, know what the true meaning is, when seeking the Father's Wisdom. It doesn't happen overnight. You really need to diligently seek for revelation knowledge. But it will happen. There is so much more to be revealed in the word than alot of people realize. I'm not really fond of commentaries, but am open to the possiblity. Thank you again for your imput. Oh, I just wanted to say that I thought your letter of apology to Casiv was humble. Most people would not admit this and apologize. We can have differences in what the scriptures really mean, but to be open to others is important. If we don't agree, after checking it out,then we gave it our best shot. You and him and others were going back and forth on alot of things, and I could feel the tension. I respect what you did. In the future feel free to offer any other imput that would be helpful for my desire to a better understanding. In the Father's Love, Serenetime | ||||||

Kalos So you are familiar with the beatitudes Do you know that in Matthew 5 verses 3 THROUGH 12 are the eight beatitudes for the good and are to be contrasted with and understood by the eights woes of Matt 23 verses 13 THROUGH 33. What this means that if you abide by the one's in Matt. 5 than everything will be alright, but if you disobey them, in Matt.23 , you will reap your reward. Very good find Kalos, You understood exactly what I was talking about. Chapter 5 is the cause, and chapter 23 is the judgement. As for the verses you quoted in Matt. 5 verses 33,34,37. verse 34 says to Swear not all, neither by heaven, for it is God's throne. The word Swear here means in the Greek translation 3660, to take or declare an oath. An oath is a promise made to my Father. When I swore on my Father's word that I didn't go into the forum to answer EdB in anger, By me declaring an oath, if I lie then I will be breaking one of the commandements, bearing false witness.Don't perjure yourself, I am putting myself on the scale of balances and if someone comes on the scale and bears false witness against me. My Father will judge them of what they're are accusing me of. I do like the laws of the old times. If two make an oath and their are no other witnesses, and one perjures himself, The Father would strike you dead right where you stand. M AN R HEL DE.

Charis, That's short for charismatic, right. Let me undo the confusion, I'm serenetime, my husband is Praisemaster, a friend of ours is Casiv. Now since that is made clear. I'm sure glad I would never attend your church, I'd be chased down the street. I've never talk to you, and you know nothing about me, so I don't understand your problem. I for one have never tried to offend anyone. I've hardly conversed on this forum. As for my husband Praisemaster. Just because you claim that no one can understand him, doesn't give anyone the right to insult him, if you're not interested in what we have to say, then don't respond. But I am an individual, and my husband is an individual, so is Casiv. It wouldn't totally be fair to make us all one person, would it But the problem is that so many respond just to argue and not to further a greater understanding of the Word, that if someone could relate to our understanding and wanted to interact with one of us, but by seeing what was happening would not even attempt it. It wouldn't be worth it to them. All I've seen is chaos and confusion, and the word is not so complex. And God is not the author of confusion, but of Love, and peace. We're being attacked by some in the same arrogant, belittling manner you spoke of. But that's ok. The door swings both ways. It is mindblowing only because we only believe what the bible teaches, but go back to the original language that it was originally written, some words translated later may not always be the closest to right meaning, but the translators do their best. So what is so wrong with that. I know that everyone would not continue in the defense mode if we felt we were being given a fair chance. Please don't respond to us if it's not going to edify and strengthen us all in our desire for deeper truth. That's all I ask. If you're not interested, then don't respond back. And that would keep the unnecessary tension down. I'm sorry if we seem to be a threat to you, only on the fact that we're a little bit harder to understand. It's interesting that everyone seems to categorise us as wacko's, cocky, arrogant. I don't think God want's us being this way to one another. But focusing on working together for a better understanding of the Bible. Not treating people in a way where they want to avoid interacting on this forum. Where is your right to tell us to leave. And how can you say "God Bless" in the same sentence as 'somewhere else". They contradict one another. I'm sure their are many faithful saints in this forum, it's not all one sided here, and I think you know it. Your tone and note are quite offensive to me, but that's ok. I come on this forum to interact with people that want to interact with me, I don't deserve to be lashed out at because I seem foreign to you. No one ever said on our end that we were better than anyone, Let's face it, there's been some competition going on here. Let's see who'll win. I'm ruting for Fred, and so on. When someone is being cornered, by several people, it's normal human nature to defend themselves. I will not speak for Casiv, or Praisemaster, but treat me as a individual. Serenetime | ||||||

Sir Pent, This is Serenetime. I have to let everyone know how it all started. You see Casiv found this forum and told us about it. Casiv was interacting on the forum at home, and there were times when we would all be together. Sometimes not even thinking, we didn't even think of who was logged on at the time. So we would go on to look up questions, answers, etc. Sometimes me and my husband would log onto the forum as Casiv because it was easier to find his questions, and the answers. But without thinking we would start interacting, not realizing. We would get involved and forget we were logged on as Casiv, and or Praisemaster, causing confusion. It's all a mess. This is how I feel that my husband Praisemaster and Casiv got mixed up by name, and some thought they were one and the same. We don't have any control of what someone individually does on their own, and I don't really know how the tension all began. But we are all to be held accountable for what we do, and what we say and if we offend, then we must amend. You are so right Sir Pent that we are solely responsible for how we talk to people, and no one is to elevate themselves above other's. This is a bad spirit to be in, and if I could take it all of this away, I would. We can be studying with each other, if I see something that I know is the wrong kind of spirit, I can try to help the person to see, but does not always see, and may keep on. We are separate individuals, and should be held accountable as separate. As for me, I've only asked one question on the forum, and have interacted briefly here and there. It was mostly Casiv, and sometimes Praisemaster. I can't speak for no one else, but for me. I never meant to ever offend anyone on this forum. I try very hard in my personal life to come to people in a serene spirit. This is where I got my name. Because the time is now. Also I think that there were times when an answer by someone written in away that some would take offensive, or maybe is that they needed more of an explanation. It is never wise to ask a question, and when you don't get what you're looking for in a answer, get abrupt. This starts a chain reaction, and then other's to there friend's defense, and here we go. Then no one wants to answer but just defend. This is not in the spirit of love and patience. There were times when my husband would ask a question, and because people weren't sure if it was praisemaster or Casiv, they would think that he was trying to set a trap or bait someone. this is how bad it got. My husband has to answer for himself. But because of this arrogant answer, then my husband would get upset. Please except my deepest apology for if I was a partaker in this mess. Charis, I'm sorry, I know you had seen and heard so much that you were through with it all. I understand why your note was the way it was. By the way Charis, in your profile, it says your name came from charismatic. Please, my heart is so heavy, and I need for you to lift this burden off of me. I am coming to you ALL in the sincerest of hearts. Will you give me an opportunity to show you that I have only good intentions when interacting on the forum. Yes, Iosous (Jesus) is our Saviour and I excepted him in 1986. Charis felt that maybe we hadn't or didn't choose to except Jesus. I understand why. Please contact me, it's very important to me that I hear from you and you have forgiven me if I have done anything to hurt anyone. Thank you, In the Father's and Son's Love, Serenetime | ||||||

10ECPreacher, I'm confused, there is no John3:37, but regarding what Praisemaster said, I've look up Last in the Greek, and it says for all verses in the NT, it is the same translation for them all. Which means "Further most out". I'm sorry, but there's no getting around this. Look it up. Love in the Living Water, Serenetime | ||||||

quietone, It says in scripture that John 16:7-8 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: KJV Acts 11:16-17 16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. 17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? KJV If Jesus said he would send a comforter in this life, which signifies his spirit, then he have no control, wouldn't you agree?

9 | How are we to understand? | Bible general Archive 1 | serenetime | 47621 | ||
bravostarr, I am most appreciative of you input on this question. I agree wholeheartedly that we should rely on the original language in which the scriptures were written. I believe that when scholars retranslate as to make it easier for some to understand over and over again there is room for error. Just a note, that even in the King James version there is a scripture that comes to mind that I feel is mistranslated as to one word, which in my opinion can change the whole meaning of the scripture is (Be careful). Phil 4:6 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. KJV NT:3309 merimnao (mer-im-nah'-o); from NT:3308; to be anxious about: KJV - (be, have) care (-ful), take thought. As you can see the word (careful) in Phil. 4:6 is very much far off base from the true meaning of the original meaning in the greek. The word careful is I feel contrary from the meaning of (anxious). I would appreciate all to elaborate on this issue and thank you ahead of time. In the Living Water of Truth of the Father, SERENETIME |

Hank, Thank you so much for your input regarding this matter. I have been questioning this issue for some time now and am a strong believer in going back to the original language as to get a better understanding of the scriptures. I understand what you are saying and I thought your point on McDonalds was hilarious. Regarding (1), there are linguistic cowboys who suppose they can drop by a bookstore, pick up a Strong's or other Hebrew-Greek dictionary, stop by MacDonald's on the way home and while they are eating a Big Mac become an expert in the ancient languages. But wouldn't you agree that even the novice should go back to the original language in which the scriptures were written as to get a better understanding for themselves and also seek out bible scholars whom have been studying the scriptures for many years? Because lets face it when it comes to where the rubber meets the road we are solely responsible for (KNOWING) what God is conveying to us. We as human beings are not perfect. Thank you again for your help! In the Living Water of Truth of the Father, SERENETIME |

Tim, It is always a pleasure to hear from you. I've always appreciated and respected your responses on issues regarding scripture. But like I have always said that we have to work out our own sole salvation. Can we only trust others? Doesn't the buck always stop with us as the saying goes. We are solely responsible that we understand and absorb the scriptures first and formost on our own, and then rely on other scholars whom have studied for many years. Wouldn't you agree? Take Care and God Bless, SERENETIME |

glory777, I dislike to have to keep this subject going, but like I said before let's get real to all men! If this does not take place , the it becomes very uncomfortable and they have to release someway. Gee, how does this happen? Masturbation! I know! I'm very tired of men avoiding this subject. Yes our flesh is weak! That's all the more reason is to release this way rather go out and sex with someone outside marriage. If you're married, then you don't have to burn. Give me a break, Paul had to do some releasing, don't you agree? The Father gave us common sense. SERENETIME | ||||||

Tim, It is so nice to hear from you, but I feel that Your opinion is not worthy unless you can prove it. Even if the massorah was not until the first century, that their are bible translation like the amplified, and the NIV,and so on and so forth that I feel are straying Christians from the true word. Just my opinion. Serenetime | ||||||
17 | The Massorah? | OT general | serenetime | 31020 | ||
Kalos, You saying I'm bashing, but I say I'm using them as an example. Doesn't it make sense that the earlier the translation of the Bible that it would easier to translate back to the original language which would give a better understanding of the Word? Later translations (I feel, and just my belief) can make it more difficult to go back to the original manuscripts, and therefore if using a much later translation makes it almost impossible to get the full meaning. The NIV, and the Amplified, etc. are fine if one chooses to use them, but I prefer to use the King James Bible, and I'm talking about the 1611 version. I meant no offense toward Tim, but I believe strongly in the Massorah because it's a protecting a wall so to speak of the original manuscripts (languages) and therefore makes it more difficult to mistranslate. Obviously there had to be a reason for the Massorah, because some men, or women would, or could translate the Word incorrectly because let's face it were human. And these translations could of been meant to confuse one intentionally. I'm just being realistic. Oh it could sound better, but some could not getting the full meaning of the Manuscripts and that's my concern, and believe it should be everyone's concern, don't you agree??? Also in the 1611 Version at the beginning of it there is a letter to the reader warning of this very thing I'm speaking of. One should check it out! In the Love of the Living Water, Serenetime | ||||||

Greetings EdB, I appreciate your note, but I believe to the contrary. I do not agree and will not ever agree that the later translation are closer to the original translations of the original dead sea scrolls and others, but thank you for your input, and I feel that what you say doesn't make sense to me. Nowhere has there even a mentioned of the 1611 Version of the King James Bible. Are you even familiar?? In the Love of the Living Water, Serenetime | ||||||
