Well, anyway, you've made the point well, as well, that translation is no mean task! Scholars need to really go to the well to find the right words. :-) | ||||||

About noses. People say, I have my brothers nose. But I don't know what they mean, because when I look at him, I can see plainly he still has his. And talking about running noses. If I give someone a cold... Does that mean I don't have it anymore? English, is a very hard language! :-) |

Dear FTK, One of your statements really perked my interest: "all aspects of God are peace, joy, kindness, meekness, love etc.! If someone is telling you gloom and doom and pain and suffering etc. it can only be for a non-believer. All Truth from God produces feelings that are good, warm, loving etc. is for believers." (sic) I wonder how this stacks up against Heb 12:5-8? "and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, "MY SON, DO NOT REGARD LIGHTLY THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD, NOR FAINT WHEN YOU ARE REPROVED BY HIM; FOR THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES, AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES." It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons." Now since sons could not conceivably be talking about anyone but believers. I would say that someone is telling me otherwise. And that Someone would be God, since it is from His word. Could you please explain? John |

Dear FTK One needs to be reading out of context in order to come up with this false teaching. Read verse 6 (in context) and I think you may find the word SCOURGES means SCOURGES, regardless of what you may think discipline should be interpreted as: by the way the root of discipline is disciple. And in order to become a disciple of Jesus you must fallow Him. John 16:33 says: "These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." Please note, it says: "In the world you have tribulation" Also see: Matt 16:24, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23. Are you willing to take up your cross? Jesus requires this, and it is repeated three times in Scripture. What you are promulgating is false, and it has been a stumbling-block for many who watch too much TV and fallow the health-and-wealth, name-it-and-claim-it, crowd. :-( I'm afraid sir, that your interpretation of scripture is lacking sound exegesis. Sir, why don't you try your false teaching in a country where millions of Jesus' disciples are being persecuted and hacked to pieces by machete wilding hooligans-!? They won't buy it, and we are not buying this kind of ridiculous nonsense either. John |

Dear FTK, I'm very sorry, sir, if I offended you, and that you think my words are harsh and unkind. But sir, you have made some very absurd claims, about scripture, and what it means to be a Christian, with little but philosophical arguments and really no solid scriptural evidence to back up these claims. Some of which are rather presumptuous I must say. For instance, no one, sir, has said or made any claim that, we hear don't have peace in the Lord Jesus. FDK, my friend, I happen to know most of these fine Christians here at the Study Bible Forum, and I can say unequivocally that these wonderful Christian folks do indeed have peace, peace that truly surpasses all human understanding, and joy, yes, joy too, beyond what mere words can describe my friend. But I also know them well enough to know that, they, we, have had some tribulation. And sir, I also know that these fine Christian folks here are wise enough, and well studied in God's holy word enough, that they also know that our Lord God is sovereign in all things, and that nothing, but nothing, happens unless He, El Shaddai, God Almighty, allows it. (Prov 13:1) And sir, I think you may have let your feelings get the best of you, because I am not mad at you at all, by any means. FDK, others as well as myself are just trying to point out some pretty grievous errors in your interpretation of God's word. This is a sola Scriptura Bible study forum, and we hold that all claims about Scripture, that seem unsound, must be backed up with Scripture, Scripture by the way, that, you have yet to provide for the questions that have been asked you. You really shouldn't be too surprised that you are being challenged or discouraged that we ask you to back up your doctrine with scripture. Personally FDK, when I found the SBF, I was very glad that the folks here don't just except every doctrine that comes down the pike, and I've really learned a lot here. And I hope you do too. I'd like to point out too that this is not a debate forum so please keep your responses geared toward Scripture, and please avoid man made philosophy about feelings. Feelings, as you can see by your obviously mistaken presuppositions about the folks hear at SBF, can be quite deceptive. In closing; you asked what I think it means to; take up your cross? I don't have room or time to give a very definitive answer, so heres a link to a very scripturally sound, well respected, and trusted website. I hope this helps you in your studies. http://www.gotquestions.org/take-up-your-cross.html Shalom John |

Dear FTK, It looks like I owe you yet another apology. I'm sorry FTK, it has been brought to my attention that I misspelled your username, and as FDK. And I did it three times! Sheech! Sorry it was a typo, I was kinda tired. Not that I'm making excuses, I should have been more careful. John |

Dear FTK, Pain and suffering are actually quite common in the lives of Christians. A study of the New Testament will bare this truth out when studied with cognizance of the full council of Scripture. The writer of Romans says: "The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. Romans 8:16-18 Paul makes the case plainly that as a Christian and disciple of Christ, he was indeed experiencing persecution and suffering, as were others in Christ suffering too. 1 Cor 12:26, 2 Cor 1:5-7, Phil 1:29, Phil 3:8, Col 1:24, 1 Thess 2:2, 1 Thess 2:14, 1 Thess 3:4, 2 Thess 1:5, 2 Tim 2:9, 2 Tim 3:11, etc. etc. and etc-!! We also read in Acts that many of the Apostles suffered greatly for Christ and the Gospel. Steven was stoned, Paul was stoned, just to name a few. You wrote: Do you thank God for..."words that cut deep and wounds our pride..." YES! I do my friend, and I thank Him very much for it too! In fact, I pray that He will kill my foolish pride! Pride is the root of sin, and just exactly what got Lucifer (the devil) kicked out of Heaven. Friend you also wrote: "but I fear not your rebuke!!" Well I'd say you should fear if He is not rebuking you. Proverbs 13:1 says: "A wise son accepts his father's discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke." And again in Proverbs 17:10, "A rebuke goes deeper into one who has understanding than a hundred blows into a fool." And once again in Proverbs 28:23, "He who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than he who flatters with the tongue." FTK, you would do well indeed to study the Bible for all it's worth, and not just for the good feelings you may gain from it. We seldom learn much of anything that has real value when things are going along smoothly. But when the road gets rough, we learn how to drive in a way that will keep us from trouble on the road of life that lies ahead. FTK I've seen much pain and suffering in the lives of some of the most precious Christians I've had the profound pleasure of knowing. But I've also seen how, as Christians, they deal with that pain and suffering, and it is not the way the world deals with it at all. It is with a peace and joy that truly goes beyond all human understanding. And it is a very beautiful thing to see too. When pain and suffering come to you my friend, and be assured it will come to you, I truly hope that you too can have that experience of knowing God is sovereign in all things, and that, He will lovingly and wisely, do what ever it takes to draw us closer to Him. Though it may hurt while He is doing it. Shalom John |

Hi PDAL, It's been a while since you've graced our pages and honored us with your esteemed presence. :-) If you read in Isaiah 14:12-18 you can see it tells the story of Lucifer's fall from heaven. Compare this to, Luke 10:18, where Jesus says: "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.” reading on in Isaiah 14 we see that this is describing the one who's foolish pride is shown to be at work here, who is none other then Satan (the devil) and in v13-14 we see the reason for him getting the boot. “You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High." Comparing this to Genesis 3:5 where he, Satan, uses this same temptation on Eve that he aspired to as well, “You shall be as God" also in Ezekiel 28:12-18 v12 “take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre” and v13 says the King was “in Eden, the garden of God.” Scripture does not show the king of Tyre in the Garden of Eden, so it must be referring to Satan (the devil) in v14 we see him described as a cherub "You were the anointed cherub who covers, and I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire." The King of Tyre is not found anywhere else in Scripture to be in Heaven either so It is quite clear this is describing Satan, Lucifer, or as so often called, the devil. John |

Dear PDAL, I think we can definitely rule out that Lucifer was a man. Isaiah 14 is poetry so it is impressionistic and less literal then prose. Verse 12 speaks of him falling from heaven and we know Adam was created on Earth and from the dust of the earth, Genesis 2:7. Also, when we read Isaiah in comparison to Ezekiel 28:12-18, and it should make it a bit easer to understand. We also know that Satan played a major part in the fall of man with his deception and tempting Eve to disobey God by eating of the fruit that God commanded them not to eat. I'm not little surprised at this confusion, I've never heard of someone (anyone) thinking that Lucifer was Adam. You could probably fill a library with books that attest to the fact that Lucifer and Satan are one and the same. I hope you don't mind my saying that It looks as though you are really digging for something that is ambiguous in Scripture. Thats quite a stretch! Scripture isn't that hard to understand, PDAL, it's not rocket science for heaven sakes. God didn't intend to confuse us or make it all that puzzling for us. I like what Dr. Harry Ironside said about Scripture, it goes something like: "Our loving Father doesn't put the cookies on the top shelf where His kiddies cant reach them" :-) You might also want to visit -http://www.gotquestions.org/Lucifer-Satan.html- The folks at gotquestions.org are very good at explaining things and do a much better job of it then I do. :-) Shalom John |

Hi digital, Welcome to the forum! FYI You should take a look at some more info. It seems from many reputable sources that the hieroglyphs in question were redone either by carving or added plaster more then once in the past (if you do some research you'll find a lot of info on this. Just google, The Temple at Abydos Helicopter) By the way, this is a "Bible study only" site, and this is not a subject we discus here. Sorry Please refresh, and read the, Terms of Use, that you agreed to when you registered to post on this site. Shalom John |

Cheri, would you mind very much giving an old man with a limited ability to communicate a break and speak in English? What is, "r snf r" and "TY!" Many of us are not as savvy as some others, so please for the respect of the fact that some who visit here have a limited ability and some do not speak English as a first language, please keep your communiqué as clear as posable.

Dear sister Azure, Thank you for your heartfelt concern, it is greatly appreciated. I liked your story very much. It is a good reminder to be tolerant to unbelieving ingrates, such as this user. I would like to assure you that I am not angry with him, and you need not be concerned for me to let the sun go down on my anger. I have no anger for him, only pity, and perhaps indignation. He has been feed scripture after scripture and to no avail, his obvious disrespect and unbelief continues to shine through. There comes a time for discernment in a situation like this and I think that we have been patient with him but it is time I believe to ask him, in no uncertain terms to cease and desist from this kind of childish and disrespectful behavior. Remember that our Lord called the unbelieving Pharisees sons of the devil. And I know that when He rejected Israel, He did so with tears, but, Reject them He did! Our Lord also tells a story of an ungrateful servant, and he is cast out, into outer darkness. God bless. John |

Oh my Sister! If the way you so gracfuly glorify Our Father is muddy, well then, I'll have some of that mud! :-) "For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away." Is 64:6 "But now, O LORD, You are our Father, We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand." Is 64:8 God bless John |

"Also, why are you at wit’s end? Do you have a concordance? Have you heard of E-Sword?" I'm taking a wild guess, but maybe a student, conning some one else to do their research for them? Usually in a case like this where its not so clear, I'll just point them in the right direction without actually giving them the answer. |

Hi Jonp; Or should I say, Dr Peter Pett BA. BD (Hons - London) DD May I sugjest to You, if you are one and the same, and I strongly suspect that you are, that if you are looking for students in your liberal school of theology, that this perhaps is not the place to do so. Anyone interested can get all the information that they want on your secular philosophical liberal theology, at your web site. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/4027/And, All they need to do is Google (Dr Peter Pett BA. BD (Hons - London) DD and they can get a host of information. Realy Docktor! Is besness realy that slow? This is a forum. Not your classroom! God's peace stj |

Congratulations Doctor Pett! It seems Very clear to me, and I hope to others that have been following this thread, and, other threads that you have participated in, that you have once again made yourself and what I would consider your ridiculous teaching on eschatology the center of attention. Good job doctor! Very cunning indeed the way you say the important thing Is Jesus and the salvation he offers, but then you craftily keep the argument going by injecting words and phrases like "Absurdity" and "mythical hybrid kingdom" and things like "the apostles will be given amazing powers" (as if) God were not big enough to do again that which he has already done. After visiting your web site I find your commentary very much like your posts, long winded and vacuous of anything that truly edifies the body of Christ. So far my friend your words only seem to confuse and divide the body of Christ. May I say very frankly that this part of the body is sick of toughs words! An unending stream of disjointed gobbledegook! Garbage! You seem to take great pleasure in making others look stupid with your superior intellect and photogenic memory of scripture. To bad! You don't seem to have a Holly spirt led understanding of them! And really Doctor! Injecting national pride into the flow of your deception is a cheep trick! You could do so much more for God if you were not so inebriated by the felicitations of your own verbiage! May God richly bless you my friend stj |

Good grief!! Lets Keep it simple shale we. The word of God is not that complicated. when Jesus rejected Israel It was temporary. He then began to focus on building His Church. Which He is still doing today by the way. When He takes His Church Out of the world, via the rapture, He will then refocus on Israel during the Great Tribulation Represented by the 144,000 that are sealed to go through it. At that time He will set up His 1,000 year rain and after that comes eternity with God and all His children. Very simple really, and it does not take a so called scholar to drag what "he" thinks is the truth out of what God is saying. If you don't understand it, that is, why God is doing it that way, I don't know, It's His plan, He said it, not me. If you have a problem take it to God. God bless all. Peace stj |
