Looking for Truth, I deeply appreciate your input. I am always open to constructive criticism, if it means that I learn a deeper truth of my Fathers Word. But I feel that sometimes I am put down more than uplifted. I hope to hear from you again soon. Continue to enlighten me if I need so. In the Father's LOVE, Serenetime | ||||||

Greetings Tim, I have always enjoyed interacting with you. Especially because you have always enlightened me to things that I did not know. The reason has always been for my presence on the forum is for help in understanding of the Father's Word and to uplift and enlighten other's of what I've come to know. Please continue to be a friend that I can always rely on. I have never meant no disrespect to you. And if I have, I am sorry. In the LOVE of the Living Water, Serenetime | ||||||

24 | The Massorah? | OT general | serenetime | 31245 | ||
EdB, The Massorah is from the root (masar), so as to commit it to his trust. Hence the name is given to the small writing (Massorah Magna) referred to, because it contains information necessary to those into whose trust the Sacred Text was comitted, so that they might transcribe it, and hand it down correctly. the Text itself had been fixed before the Massorites were put in charge of it. This has been the work of the sopherim (from saphar, to count, or number). their work under Ezra and Nehemiah, was to set the Text in order after the return from Babylon; and we read of it in Neh.8:8, Ezra7:6,11. The men of the Great Synagogue completed the work. This work lasted about 110 years, Nehemiah to Simon the first, 410-300 B.C. The Sopherim were the authorised revisers of the Sacred Text; and their work being completed, the Massorites were the authorised custodians of it. Their work was to preserve it. The Massorah is called "A fence to the scriptures," because it locked all words and letters in their places. It does not contain notes or comments as such, but facts and phenomena. It records the number of times the several letters occur in the various books of the Bible; the number of words, and the middle word; the number of verses, and the middle verse; the number of expressions and combination of words. All this not from a perverted ingenuity, but for the set purpose of safeguarding the Sacred Text, and preventing the loss or misplacement of a single letter or word. This Massorah is not contained in any one Manuscript. No Manuscript, contains the whole, or even the same part. It is spread over many manuscripts, and Dr. C.D. Ginsburg has been the first and only scholar who has set himself to collect and collate the whole, copying from every available in the libraries of many countries. When the Hebrew Text was printed, only the large type in the columns was regarded, and the small type of the Massorah was left unheeded, in the Manuscripts from which the Text was taken. When translators came to the printed Hebrew Text, they were necessarily destitute of the information contained in the Massorah; so as the Revisers as well as the Translators of the Authorised Version carried out their work without any idea of the treasures contained in the Massorah; and therfore, without giving a hint of it to their readers.

To Kalos,and Nolan, I'm sorry, but somehow you both continue to confuse all of us. I've even asked Nolan to go back to where the question was where it was asked " the seal and the horse in the same verse" by Casiv. I gave an explanation to SirPent, but somehow this continues to be a confusion. I am completely separate from Casiv, and Praisemaster whom I've already explained is my husband. Why is it so necessary for this to continue on with the jokes. I may not always agree with someone's way of interacting on the forum, but I'm sorry if you feel that if we are not on the forum at the same time, then it's because that you think we are all one person. But I can guarantee that it we will be on at the same time sooner or later, it's bound to happen. Please quench that somehow this is the reason for this. But myself and Praisemaster will never be on at the same time unless we are on together, cause of having only one computer. Your suspicions are unjustified. If you would only choose to read what I wrote to SirPent as I have asked Nolan previously. Would Jesus want this to continue on this way? Are we not to strive to be more like him. Yes, we have all studied together in the past, But I tell you truly that we are all individuals, separate from one another. I'm asking you as a fellow Christian and a friend to address us separately, And PLEASE take the time to read my explanation to SirPent on that question, and put a rest to this so we all can continue on in harmony. As for using numerics in the bible, Using chapter and verse is not the correct way as Casiv has stated. My Husband Praisemaster when he has the time is writing a thesis on how Biblical numbers are to be used in the right way. And he is quite convinced that if you would all put your agitation aside for a moment that you would all be pleasantly surprised how the biblical numerics really works. For it proves itself. My Husband almost left this sight completely, but feels that the way some things have been handled by both sides have denied us all of reaching a deeper truth of the Bible. But my Husband wants all to know that he doesn't agree with Casiv's approach and use of Biblical numerics by chapter and verse. But regarding what I believe was Ray's suggestion on theomatics, we would both like to read this. My husband told me he is expecting that as soon as his name is put upon anything i this forum, that he will be insulted and and ridiculed because everytime he has gotten on this, it has been done. And he has been on this site the least amount compared to to me and Casiv. THANK YOU, In Love, Serenetime | ||||||

27 | Judas went to hell? | NT general Archive 1 | serenetime | 27876 | ||
Kalos, I am totally perplexed how Judas could be the son of Perdition for the simpliest reason. Judas's death happened around where BC went to AD, right when it changed. First in 2 Thess 2:1-3 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him. Verse 2, that ye be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as from us, as the day of Christ is at hand. verse 3, Let no man decieve you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. 2 Thess. was written right after 53ad. so were talking about 53 yrs. had gone by since Judas had died. 2 thess. as a whole is about the future beyond Paul. Because if it was Judas, then Why was Paul speaking of the future of the coming of Christ being revealed. The Gospel's revealed the story already of Judas, so he would have been revealed as the "son of perdition". But as quoted in 2 Thess.2:2 Particularly that you not be shaken by a letter from us, because Paul did not reveal who he was, and he did not know who he was. Because if Judas was the son of perdition, then when did Judas sit in the temple exalting himself showing himself to be God. From that day passover then, to at least ot Paul's time the gospel was growing. It doesn't fit, to me at least it doesn't. In the LOVE of the Father, Serenetime |

28 | Judas went to hell? | NT general Archive 1 | serenetime | 28307 | ||
Nolan, What about Matt.27:3-5 Then Judas which had betrayed Him,when he saw that He was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4) Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood." And they said, " What is that to us? see thou to that 5) And he cast down the pieces of silver in the Temple, and departed. It seems to me that Judas repented of what he did. If Paul being a murderer of Christians before he was knocked off the ass by Jesus was saved, then Judas was also forgiven and saved. If not, then I guess we haven't been saved either. It says he repented, he realized what he did. He had a change of heart. Isn't that enough?? Serenetime | ||||||
29 | Judas went to hell? | NT general Archive 1 | serenetime | 28535 | ||
Greetings, It's interesting how alot of folks are saying that Judas went to hell. Judas betrayed, and Peter denied thrice, and the disciples forsook Jesus. The word, betrayed means in going back to the original greek is #3860, to surrender, yield up, intrust, deliver up, bring forth, etc. The word ,deny is#533, to deny utterly, disown, abstain, disavow, reject. Forsook is #863, to send forth in various applications, forsake, lay aside, leave, suffer, yield up. You will notice that both betrayed and forsook say yield up. My point is Peter denied Jesus thrice, and the disciples while in Gethsamene when they laid hands on Jesus to kill him, forsook Jesus, and Judas delivered up Jesus, and then gave the silver back and it says he said I have sinned and betrayed innocent blood, and repented himself. Common sense will tell you that if Judas was so utterly condemned for what he did and was sent to hell, which I haven't seen in scripture yet, then Peter should have been condemned as well ands all the disciples too. In Luke and Acts both it says he fell headlong and burst asunder, and all his bowels gushed out, and Matthew says he hanged himself. Because there are differences and not clear if he hung himself or did he fall headlong, he was most definitely killed, because you can't fall headlong (head first) and gut yourself wide open all on your own while falling head first. 2Sam.17:23 is the second witness in comparison to "hanged himself" Because they all denied, betrayed, and forsook him. When Jesus was on the cross suffering and in agony where were the disciples? Hiding in some room somewhere afraid that they would be killed also. The only one's that supported him were the women. But remember the women prepared him for this time. Remember the woman with the alabaster box of ointment. The Disciples complained that she was wasting it on him when she anointed Jesus head and feet and wiped his feet with her hair. They wanted to sell it. She was preparing him for his crucifiction, and still the disciples denied him and just didn't get it. Also in the garden of Gethsemane he asked the disciples to watch and pray with him, I mean he was exceeding sorrowful and needed comfort and he didn't get nothing from any of them, and they were asleep all three times. And when talking how Judas and his flimsy repentance. He just wasn't sorrowful enough for what was happening to Jesus. I believe he did by first admitting his sin and throwing the thirty pieces of silver back to the priests ,was like when we repent.Recognizing our faults first is so important and are remorseful and ask for forgiveness. So, I believe that Judas was not sent to hell and that all are the same in God's eyes, and He is no respecter of person's. They was no favor here, wouldn't you agree? For who are we to judge?

Radioman, I too, appreciate the scriptures that Kalos and Nolan have given on this thread, but honestly if YOU personally wanted something shown to you by scripture, you would want the scripture to be specific, or at least say the word Hell, or Gehenna, Hades, the lower bowels of the earth, something, right? And because we don't see things that way you see it doesn't mean we don't deserve for someone who claims that Judas went to hell that they can back it up. Not just by saying it but also are giving scriptures that I feel have not proven this belief. I disagree that the scriptures given by Kalos and Nolan, they haven't plainly and clearly indicated this to me. I can't answer for anyone else. You have not been on this thread until now, and you show lack of patience, and I don't understand why. If you can clear this matter up by giving a scripture that plainly teaches this belief then please share it and we can all move on. Your choices in what you choose to believe is up to you and it's you're perrogative to continue in that belief, but for me I strive for more in depth understanding of God's Precious Word. Thanks for your comments. Also there are different variations for this belief. There is Gehenna: The Valley of Hinnom or the valley of the son's of Hinnom, where were the fires through which children were passed in worship of Moloch. In Jesus's day the idolatry had ceased but the fires were still continually burning there for the destruction of the refuse of Jerusalem, in other words a garage dump. Also there is Hades: Used by the Greeks meaning unseen world, but is rendered in more of a human origin,but the Holy Spirit had used it as one of the "words pertaining to earth", and doing so has "purified "it, "as silver tried in a furnace in Ps 12:6. The greek is Hades, and in Hebrew it's sheol, but Sheol's meaning is in more of a divine origin, never rendering outside the Word of God. The Holy Spirit has used (hades) in Acts2:27,31. the Holy Spirit's equivalent for Hades is Sheol in Ps. 16:10. The word is used eleven more time in the NT as Sheol as in a Divine sense as opposed to Hades, human in it's origin, In Matt.11:23, Matt.16:18, Luke 10:15, 16:23, 1Cor.15:55, Rev.1:18, 6:8, 20:13-14,are all rendered "hell" except for 1Cor.15:55 where it means "grave", and there are more in the OT for grave. Also there is Tartaroo, Occuring only here in 2Peter2:2-4 meaning to "thrust down to tartarus", being a greek word. Homer described it as a subterranean- Deut.32:22. The Homeric Tartarus is the prison of the Titans, or Giants (Heb. Rephaim). So you can see that there are slight differences in the meanings. So if you told me to go to Hell, then I would expect a clarification, (Just a little Humor) So please be specific. Thanks for you interest. Serenetime | ||||||
31 | Judas went to hell? | NT general Archive 1 | serenetime | 29713 | ||
Love Fountain, Thanks so much for your kind words. I too am so deeply torn in my heart to seek and show the truth of this question of Judas. And the fact that I feel so strongly about this thread and about that have I seen nowhere that anyone has given scripture to back up this belief in Judas damned to hell, and Jesus's disciples getting slack. I'm sorry, but God is no respecter of person's. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Which means that he's always been and felt the same, and nothing has changed. In Heb.13:8(KJV) Jesus Christ, the same yesterday,today, and forever. Heb.13:8 (NIV)Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Acts.10:34 (KJV) Then Peter opened his mouth, and said,"Of a truth I percieve that God is no respecter of person's. Acts.10:34 (NIV)Then Peter began to speak:" I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right. (JUDAS DID COME TO DO WHAT WAS RIGHT) John 10:30 (KJV) I and My Father are One. John 10:30 (NIV) I and the Father are One. Mal.3:6 (kjv) For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Mal. 3:6 (NIV) I the Lord do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. I think it's real interesting that if Jesus, God the Father are one, and God is no respecter of person's (Peter says HE KNOWS it's the truth), and that God and Jesus are the same yesterday, today and forever, and for I am the the Lord, I change not. What is this telling us?? Common sense, the scriptures are not so complex that we can't see the truth for what it is. Everyone else in the Bible gets a break but Judas, right? And he repented and threw the silver back. I mean Judas says "I have betrayed innocent blood". Duh! He was sorrowful. NT tells us that the only sin that is not forgiven is against the Holy Spirit. Matt 12:31,32 (KJV) Wherefore I say unto you, ALL manner of sin and blasphemy SHALL BE FORGIVEN unto men: but the blashemy against the Holy Ghost SHALL NOT be forgiven unto men. 32) And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, IT SHALL BE FORGIVEN HIM, but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Matt. 12:31 (NIV) And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blashemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32) (NIV) Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age, or the age to come. I think these verses SAY IT ALL. Only against the HOLY SPIRIT will it NOT be forgiven. Wouldn't you agree???? Serenetime | ||||||

Lovefountain, Could it also be that if one is lost he can found again as in the story of the wayward son? Of course! If Judas was lost, I believe the scriptures say he was found again upon repentance. Do you agree? Satan has not repented. Luke 15:24 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. You Sister in the Living Word of Truth, SERENETIME KJV |

radioman, I am appeciative that you are here, but i have to say to you that you are being offensive and rude. This has been a normality on this forum for quite a while, and I feel "lets get down to where the rubber meets the road man". shouldn't we all be here for one another?? Check out what's going on in the world now? Shouldn't this be opening our eyes. In these countries where this is happening, we forget this is happening here too? Aren't we all here to learn from one another. Is it necessary to keep competing with one another? The Father's Wisdom is the answer, wouldn't you agree? SERENETIME | ||||||

Hi Nolan, I would just like to say that by telling someone they are WRONG is harse considering we are all here to learn from one another in LOVE. Losing one's patience is not what Iesous (Jesus) would do, don't you agree? You may not agree, but this is a interesting subject to some whom are trying very hard to understand the true meaning of scriptures. Also some of us were not here on this forum a year ago and are not familiar with the previous discussion. You friend in the true word of God the Father of the Living Water, SERENETIME |

Hey Praisemaster, Is this or that that percieve to be a partaker in the marriage supper of the Lamb? No, I'm sorry to say but this is just a mirror image of that glorious day. Praisemaster, do you mean to say that they cannot see and hear the invitation that is sent out everyday? NO, my love the world has waxed cold, and the seals have fallen off. The trumpets have blown. The bowls have been poured, all that's left is new wine in old bags. Praisemaster, In this, is that, that will burst asunder? Oh, but in the love of the living water isn't it written by Luke Yehshua's Physician in Chapter 5:38, But new wine must be put into new bottles, and both are preserved. Yes Serenetime, But as it is written, all must be in one accord, not according to those who say, they have invitations only through the narrow door. By their words only that they hold the key that can pour out the fountains of LOVE. Praisemaster, but doesn't Yehshua say, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you? Serenetime, Hoping to poured out as you, thanks for opening and holding the door. Be patient my Love, other's will follow. The groom has daily been inviting you. I see you wasting precious time something terrible, and you wonder why I speak in a parable. If you would use this precious time seeing and hearing my words, maybe your ears might hear and understand my verbs. I tried to tell you all,WATCH, I'm coming soon. But distracted you are, and it's approaching high noon. I hear my Bride's voice, she's ready for her groom. Sorry,there isn't any more room, You I never knew, WHO ARE YOU. You joked with all your friends wasting so much time, making up your insulting rhymes. IF you are truly MINE, then in this unloving world you can find it in your heart to be more kind, to MY child SERENETIME. | ||||||
