1	Was Abraham a Muslim?	Bible general Archive 1	userdoe214	9100
	Nolan, when you say: "...then you will be targeted and quick action will be taken against you." you speak with a foul mouth. You don't know the meaning of forum. You once threatened me, now I say I've enough of this: I can find better use of my computer than to spend any more time here. bye mrk

4	Re: Ex 33:19	Ex 7:3	userdoe214	8963
	Well Hank is this true? "It is therefore fatuous and inane, if indeed not blasphemous, of us created beings to question God or to appear to offer our paltry schemes and suggestions to Him for doing things in a better way than He does." Moses offered a different way (Numbers 14:11-20) without committing sin. God even seems to have changed His mind. And the Psalms are filled with complaints and frank questioning of God. Must you push your point beyond extreme? mrk

8	Mark, Couldn't of been God....	Gen 18:2	userdoe214	8954
	Yet the fact remains, they saw God; then the narrative moves on. There are many references in Scripture to people seeing God or the Lord, and in most cases it was a shattering experience. If they didn't see God, then they saw a thing--which is too close to an idol for me. mrk
9	Why did God harden Pharaoh's heart?	Ex 7:3	userdoe214	8953
	Dear Hiram, If your first attempt was Prayer of Jabez, then I could understand your reluctance to make another trip to the book store. I have a reference you might like Ex 12:12 ...and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD. Here are some suggested titles for your shelf. For church history I would HIGHLY recommend F.F. Bruce's book "The Spreading of the Flame." It's not a complete history (one could never be written--accept in Heaven), but Bruce was such a great, humble and kind-hearted scholar, I doubt there are many who could tell history better than he. He really was one of England's greatest. His book "Israel and the Nations" is great too. His style may seem a little dry, but that's only because he wasn't trying to FORCE an opinion. Hold off on his book "New Testament History", not because there's anything wrong with it, but because that is one of the most difficult time periods in all history to digest (it was not only the fullness of time, but the fullest of times). Some writers of history use their positions to defend their particular denomination, or "brand" of belief. Bruce does not do this. I would also recommend you get a Greek interlinear Bible. It's an easy way to start discovering the value of knowing even a little bit of the original language of the New Testament. How's that for a basic library? mrk
10	Mark, Couldn't of been God....	Gen 18:2	userdoe214	8945
	What follows "No man hath seen God at any time"? what does John say next, and most of all what is he saying about Jesus and man's knowledge of God? Your way of explaining Ex.24:10 could almost be taken as saying that Jesus is somehow less than God. "No one has seen God, but they have seen Jesus." And if they were seeing the "divine essence" rather than "divine person" (such language sounds very odd to me) then why after seeing this thing (sorry, but thing is what you say they saw, not a person) does it say "Yet He did not stretch out His hand against the nobles of the sons of Israel"
11	Did Shakespeare help write the KJV?	1 Cor 2:1	userdoe214	8942
	To quote Barnard Shaw (an ardent unbeliever), the treasures of the English language are "Shakespeare, Milton and the Bible." Naturally the order is wrong. So much beautiful prose, poetry, theater and even some fine music for voice were born in that time, but unlike the Italian Renaissance, the most lasting from all that great creative energy is the best translation into another language of the Bible. It's imperfect, but it's still the best. It's so good that it invites plagiarism, and it saddens me that it is no longer the chief source for preaching. I console myself with the fact that the power of God's Word is not a matter of style.
12	Should a Christian be a Mason?	Bible general Archive 1	userdoe214	8886
	I know you're right about the source of my discomfort. I believe I have also witnessed truly demonic effects of this religion, primarily because they take it so seriously. They can't see it, but the presents of Masonry in the Church is no different than the worship of Baal in Jerusalem. The family knows where I stand, and most know I hate to shake their hands, but we love each other, and I still watch them going to their graves confirming the Scripture: Men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil, and that God visits the sins of the fathers (for ours is a multigenerational affiliation). My objections are as shocking to them as if I said apple pie is tool of Communism to conquer the earth or that I've been receiving messages from people from outerspace. I'll check out the web site. mrk

	I like agreeing with you. mrk
14	Please explain	Matt 7:13	userdoe214	8771
	Sharp, I like the way you make it all an organic whole. To chop it up and analyze the pieces is to study the lifeless parts. mrk

18	Why did the NASB change JEHOVAH to Lord?	Deut 5:11	userdoe214	8679
	Thanks Tim, for filling in my blanks. I've been in a Hebrew congregation where this came up. The person was reading in Hebrew, but when they came to the NAME they wouldn't say anything. It seemed sadly awkward to me at the time, but I suppose they've had centuries to adjust. It breaks my heart that the NAME they've long forgotten is for them the name of The Unknown God. mrk
19	The dream was from God?	Heb 1:1	userdoe214	8676
	I know nothing of such web site. And I'm still in no shape to pull the sword on this subject. I defer to New England. All I know it that, they are without excuse. A most frightening thought. mrk
20	The dream was from God?	Heb 1:1	userdoe214	8668
	Dear Hank, I don't think the New England theologians of the 18th and 19th century would agree, and I've never known a group more committed to the Bible, nor more mindful of the history of the faith which we call orthodoxy. They were Calvinists and the forgers of a truly unique theological tradition. There's been much written about them, but all my books are in storage, so I can't give any references. mrk
