1 | Jesus called himself the son of man why? | Matt 16:13 | DBR | 128079 | ||
"Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. Born of the virgin Mary, He sustains a special relationship with God and a special relationship with man. He is both Son of God and Son of Man. Having this unique nature, He is able to serve as mediator between God and mankind. He is a "daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both" (Job 9:33). Jesus is without sin. In His purity and perfection, He is able to do what no other individual can do. He alone is qualified to be the bridge between God and man."

2 | Jesus called himself the son of man why? | Matt 16:13 | DBR | 128073 | ||
My comment was spacific and dealing with the "son of Man" side of Jesus physically -"human"- nature not the spiritual -"divine"- one. As you say "He had a true body (Heb. 2:14; Luke 24:39) and a rational soul. He was a perfect man" because he was born of woMAN. To simplify my comment, Jesus was called the "son of Man" because he was born of woMAN, Mary, referring to his physical or "human" nature while on earth. DBR |

5 | explain Romans1:27 ? | Rom 1:27 | DBR | 128017 | ||
As we faithfully deliver Gods judgment message, we also teach his righteous decrees. When these are applied in peoples lives, both physical and spiritual blessings result. For example, the Bible is very clear in its condemnation of all sexual immorality. (Romans 1:26, 27, 32) Today divine standards are widely ignored in the world. What is the result? Marriages are breaking up. Delinquency is increasing. Crippling sexually transmitted diseases, which have become pandemic in this 20th and now the 21st century, are spreading. Indeed, the frightening disease AIDS is to a great extent spread by sexual immorality. But has not respectful fear of God proved to be a great protection for true worshipers?—2 Corinthians 7:1; Philippians 2:12; see also Acts 15:28, 29. AMP Rom 1:24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their [own] hearts to sexual impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves [abandoning them to the degrading power of sin], Rom 1:25 Because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen (so be it). [Jer. 2:11.] Rom 1:26 For this reason God gave them over and abandoned them to vile affections and degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one, Rom 1:27 And the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for one another--men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution. Rom 1:28 And so, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or approve of Him or consider Him worth the knowing, God gave them over to a base and condemned mind to do things not proper or decent but loathsome, Retribution is due to reaping as they sow (Gal 6:7-10), a harvest of sexualy transmited desies that can kill them spiritualy and in a literal way.

6 | Why two dreams instead of only one? | Gen 41:25 | DBR | 128016 | ||
Two. The number two frequently appears in a legal setting. Agreement in the accounts of two witnesses adds to the force of the testimony. Two witnesses, or even three, were required to establish a matter before the judges. This principle is also followed in the Christian congregation. (De 17:6; 19:15; Mt 18:16; 2Co 13:1; 1Ti 5:19; Heb 10:28) God adhered to this principle in presenting his Son to the people as mankind’s Savior. Jesus said: “In your own Law it is written, ‘The witness of two men is true.’ I am one that bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.”—Joh 8:17, 18. Doing something a second time—for example, repetition of a statement or vision, even in only a parallel way—firmly established the matter as sure and true (as in Pharaoh’s dream of the cows and the ears of grain; Ge 41:32). Biblical Hebrew poetry is full of thought parallelism, which establishes more firmly in mind the truths stated and at the same time clarifies matters by the variety of wording in the parallelism.—See Ps 2, 44, and others. In Daniel’s prophecy a certain beast’s having “two horns” symbolized duality in rulership of the Medo-Persian Empire.—Da 8:20, 21; compare Re 13:11. What do you think? DBR |

7 | Jesus called himself the son of man why? | Matt 16:13 | DBR | 128015 | ||
Jesus’ application of this expression to himself clearly showed that God’s Son was now indeed a human, having ‘become flesh’ (Joh 1:14), having ‘come to be out of a woman’ through his conception and birth to the Jewish virgin Mary. (Ga 4:4; Lu 1:34-36) Hence he had not simply materialized a human body as angels had previously done; he was not an incarnation but was actually a ‘son of mankind’ through his human mother.—Compare 1Jo 4:2, 3; 2Jo 7 DBR |

8 | How do overcome your fear? | Phil 4:6 | DBR | 128014 | ||
NASB 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. AMP 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love's complete perfection]. The above is the way to overcome any fear. DBR |

9 | Fatherof4, What is the Greek word? | John 5:19 | DBR | 128013 | ||
Would you like to be very specific then please? This may then help? World “Kosmos” and Its Various Senses. The basic meaning of the Greek kosmos is “order” or “arrangement.” And to the extent that the concept of beauty is bound up with order and symmetry, kosmos also conveys that thought and therefore was often used by the Greeks to mean “adornment,” especially as regards women. It is used in that way at 1 Peter 3:3. Hence also the English word “cosmetic.” The related verb kosmeo has the sense of ‘putting in order’ at Matthew 25:7 and that of ‘adorning’ elsewhere. (Mt 12:44; 23:29; Lu 11:25; 21:5; 1Ti 2:9; Tit 2:10; 1Pe 3:5; Re 21:2, 19) The adjective ko´smi·os, at 1 Timothy 2:9 and 3:2, describes that which is “well-arranged” or “orderly.” Evidently because the universe manifests order, Greek philosophers at times applied kosmos to the entire visible creation. However, there was no real unanimity of thought among them, some restricting it to the celestial bodies only, others using it for the whole universe. The use of kosmos to describe the material creation as a whole appears in some Apocryphal writings (compare Wisdom 9:9; 11:17), these being written during the period when Greek philosophy was making inroads in many Jewish areas. But in the inspired writings of the Christian Greek Scriptures this sense is virtually, perhaps entirely, absent. Some texts may appear to use the term in that sense, such as the account of the apostle’s address to the Athenians at the Areopagus. Paul there said: “The God that made the world [form of kosmos] and all the things in it, being, as this One is, Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in handmade temples.” (Ac 17:22-24) Since the use of kosmos as meaning the universe was current among the Greeks, Paul might have employed the term in that sense. Even here, however, it is entirely possible that he used it in one of the ways discussed in the rest of this article. Linked With Mankind. Richard C. Trench’s Synonyms of the New Testament (London, 1961, pp. 201, 202), after presenting the philosophic use of kosmos for the universe, says: “From this signification of kosmos as the material universe, . . . followed that of kosmos as that external framework of things in which man lives and moves, which exists for him and of which he constitutes the moral centre (John xvi. 21; I Cor. xiv. 10; I John iii. 17); . . . and then the men themselves, the sum total of persons living in the world (John i. 29; iv. 42; II Cor. v. 19); and then upon this, and ethically, all not of the ekklesia; the church or congregation], alienated from the life of God and by wicked works enemies to Him (I Cor. i. 20, 21; II Cor. vii. 10; Jam. iv. 4).” Similarly, the book Studies in the Vocabulary of the Greek New Testament, by K. S. Wuest (1946, p. 57), quotes Greek scholar Cremer as saying: “As kosmos is regarded as that order of things whose center is man, attention is directed chiefly to him, and kosmos denotes mankind within that order of things, humanity as it manifests itself in and through such an order (Mt. 18:7).” DBR |

10 | Fatherof4, What is the Greek word? | John 5:19 | DBR | 128004 | ||
LAND AND EARTH In the Greek Scriptures, ge denotes earth as arable land or soil. (Mt 13:5, 8) It is used to designate the material from which Adam was made, the earth (1Co 15:47); the earthly globe (Mt 5:18, 35; 6:19); earth as a habitation for human creatures and animals (Lu 21:35; Ac 1:8; 8:33; 10:12; 11:6; 17:26); land, country, territory (Lu 4:25; Joh 3:22); ground (Mt 10:29; Mr 4:26); land, shore, as contrasted with seas or waters. (Joh 21:8, 9, 11; Mr 4:1). World This is the usual English term for translating the Greek kosmos in all of its occurrences in the Christian Greek Scriptures except 1 Peter 3:3, where it is rendered “adornment.” “World” can mean (1) humankind as a whole, apart from their moral condition or course of life, (2) the framework of human circumstances into which a person is born and in which he lives (and in this sense it is at times quite similar to the Greek aion, “system of things”), or (3) the mass of mankind apart from Jehovah’s approved servants. The King James Version used “world” to render not only kosmos but also three other Greek words in some of its renderings of them (ge; aion; oikoumene) and five different Hebrew words (erets; chedhel; cheledh; ohlam; tevel). This produced a blurring or confused blending of meanings that made it difficult to obtain correct understanding of the scriptures involved. Later translations have served to clear up considerably this confusion. DBR |

12 | Dharma Cards | Gal 1:6 | DBR | 127956 | ||
A few things I found might help? dharma—the ultimate law of all things; that which determines the rightness or wrongness of acts Sanatana Ancient, eternal. Hindus refer to their faith as “sanatana dharma,” meaning “eternal law or order” Karma Yoga—“The way of action, or karma yoga, the discipline of action. Basically, karma marga means performing one’s dharma according to one’s place in life. Certain duties are required of all people, such as ahimsa and abstention from alcohol and meat, but the specific dharma of each individual depends on that person’s caste and stage in life.”—Great Asian Religions. You might have to put the following to the person in a well thought way:- Buddhism does not teach belief in a creator. “It admits no beings with greater supernatural power than man can reach by virtue and knowledge; in fact, several of the Buddhist nations have no word in their languages to express the idea of God.”—McClintock and Strong’s Cyclopedia. Buddhism’s role in mankind’s search for the true God is minimal. The Encyclopedia of World Faiths observes that “early Buddhism appears to have taken no account of the question of God, and certainly did not teach or require belief in God.” In its emphasis on each person’s seeking salvation on his own, turning inward to his own mind or consciousness for enlightenment, Buddhism is really agnostic, if not atheistic. In trying to throw off Hinduism’s shackles of superstition and its bewildering array of mythical gods, Buddhism has swung to the other extreme. It ignored the fundamental concept of a Supreme Being, by whose will everything exists and operates.—Acts 17:24, 25. The Creator of us is the One that inspired in human breasts the hope of the rescue of all mankind? By some world savior? Yes! From where else could such a bold, magnificent idea come? Over seven centuries before our Common Era, yes, more than a century before the Buddhist Era, that One had the statement put down in writing: “Turn to me and be saved, all you at the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no one else. By my own self I have sworn—out of my own mouth in righteousness the word has gone forth, so that it will not return—that to me every knee will bend down, every tongue will swear, saying, ‘Surely in Jehovah there are full righteousness and strength. All those getting heated up against him will come straight to him and be ashamed.’”—Isa. 45:22-24. Please note the following Biblical Texts and then please give them some prayerful thought:- Psalm 14:1 “The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.”-N.I.V. Psalm 10:4 “In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God”-N.I.V. Psalm 53:1 “The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good.”-N.I.V. DBR |

13 | Verses reguarding gospel preaching? | Matt 28:19 | DBR | 127954 | ||
Matt 24:14 "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. Matt 26:13 "Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her." Mark 13:10 "The gospel must first be preached to all the nations. Mark 14:9 "Truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her." Gal 3:8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU." Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.

14 | Explain Hebrew 4:12 | Eph 6:17 | DBR | 127953 | ||
The “spirit” (Heb., ruach; Gr., pneuma) should not be confused with the “soul” (Heb., nephesh; Gr., psykhe), for they refer to different things. Thus, Hebrews 4:12 speaks of the Word of God as ‘piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and their marrow.’ (Compare also Php 1:27; 1Th 5:23.) As has been shown, the soul (nephesh; psykhe) is the creature itself. The spirit (ruach; pneuma) generally refers to the life-force of the living creature or soul, though the original-language terms may also have other meanings. Illustrating further the distinction between the Greek psykhe and pneuma is the apostle Paul’s discussion, in his first letter to the Corinthians, of the resurrection of Christians to spirit life. Here he contrasts “that which is physical [psykhikon, literally, soulical]” with “that which is spiritual [pneumatikon´].” Thus, he shows that Christians until the time of their death have a “soulical” body, even as did the first man Adam; whereas, in their resurrection such anointed Christians receive a spiritual body like that of the glorified Jesus Christ. (1Co 15:42-49) Jude makes a somewhat similar comparison in speaking of “animalistic men [psykhikoi, literally, soulical (men)], not having spirituality [literally, not having spirit (pneuma)].”—Jude 19. How powerful is the message emanating from God’s Word? It has tremendous power. Fittingly, Paul wrote: “The word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and their marrow, and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart.”—Hebrews 4:12. The message in God’s written Word is “sharper than any two-edged sword.” Thus, it has such tremendous penetrating power that it exceeds any human instrument or tool. The Word of God pierces the innermost parts of a person and can change him inwardly, affecting how he thinks and what he loves, making him an acceptable, godly worker. What a powerful tool! The Word of God exposes what a person really is at his core as compared with what he thinks he is or what he allows others to see. (1 Samuel 16:7) Even a wicked person can sometimes shroud his inner self with a covering of benevolence or piety. Evil ones put up false fronts for wicked reasons. Proud people masquerade with mock humility while yearning to hear the applause of men. By laying bare what is really in the heart, however, God’s Word can powerfully move a humble individual to strip off the old personality and “put on the new personality which was created according to God’s will in true righteousness and loyalty.” (Ephesians 4:22-24) The Bible—A Textbook for Living “THE word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword . . . and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12) This description of what Gods Word can accomplish surely stamps the Bible as more than just a good book. “Its message is as vital to our lives as our next breath,” one religion writer put it succinctly. Then he added: “When you take the issue of our longing and need for healing today and read the Bible in that light, astonishing results follow.” Like a lamp that burns brightly, the Bible sheds light on the many complex issues and problems of modern-day living.—Psalm 119:105. Indeed, the wisdom expressed in the Bible has the power to mold our thinking, help us solve problems, improve the quality of our life, and equip us with the skills to cope with those situations that we cannot change. Most important, the Bible enables us to get to know and love God. DBR |

16 | What is meaning of Seek ye first ? | Gen 4:4 | DBR | 127951 | ||
Matt 6:33 “Keep on, then, seeking first (Gk. “proton”)* the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these [other] things will be added to YOU. What does it mean to “seeking first the kingdom”? *First [Adverb] proton the neuter of the adjective protos, is used as an adverb, signifying "first, firstly," e.g., of time, Matt 8:21; of order, Rom 3:2 (AV, "chiefly"); in John 7:51, RV, "except it first hear from himself" (the AV, "before it hear him," follows the mss. which have proteron).”-Vine’s Expository Dictionary’ *“Proton – The sense “above all” is the obvious one in Mt. 6:33, for Jesus is not teaching that we should seek the kingdom and then other things, but that there should be exclusive orientation to the divine kingdom and righteousness.”-‘Theological Dictionary of The New Testament’ (Little Kittel) by G. Bromiley p.966 From which we get the word:- Protons: Particles with a positive electric charge equal to that of the electron. A constituent of the nucleus of every atom. Elementary Particles of the Atom’s World - By 1932 the [Atom’s] nucleus was found to be made up of protons and neutrons. Protons carry the positive charge of the atom—exactly equal in size but opposite in kind to the negative charge on the electron. A “Proton” is a fundamental part of the center or Nucleus of an Atom. “First” means not that something is part of our existence; it is our existence, the Nucleus of our life!! Thus: “The truth (found in The Bile) is not part of our life, it is our life. Everything else revolves around it.” RIGHTEOUSNESS The Hebrew tsedheq and tsedhaqah´ as well as the Greek dikaiosyne have the thought af “rectitude,” “uprightness,” indicating a standard or norm determining what is upright. “Righteousness” is frequently used in connection with a judge, or with judgment, giving the term a somewhat legal flavor (hence, the original-language terms are at times translated “justice”). (Ps 35:24; 72:2; 96:13; Isa 11:4; Re 19:11) In the Mosaic Law, at Leviticus 19:36, tsedheq is used four times in connection with business transactions: “You should prove to have accurate [“just,” AT, KJ, Le] scales, accurate weights, an accurate ephah and an accurate hin.” God Sets the Standard. Greek scholar Kenneth S. Wuest says: “God is the objective standard which determines the content of meaning of dikaios [righteous], and at the same time keeps that content of meaning constant and unchanging, since He is the unchanging One.” He then quotes Cremer as saying: “Righteousness in the biblical sense is a condition of rightness the standard of which is God, which is estimated according to the divine standard, which shows itself in behavior conformable to God, and has to do above all things with its relation to God, and with the walk before Him. It is, and it is called dikaiosune theou (righteousness of God) (Rom. 3:21; 1:17), righteousness as it belongs to God, and is of value before Him, Godlike righteousness, see Eph. 4:24; with this righteousness thus defined, the gospel (Rom. 1:17) comes into the world of nations which had been wont to measure by a different standard.”—Studies in the Vocabulary of the Greek New Testament, 1946, p. 37.

The term “word” in the Scriptures most frequently translates the Hebrew and Greek words davar and logos. These words in the majority of cases refer to an entire thought, saying, or statement rather than simply to an individual term or unit of speech. In Greek a ‘single word’ is expressed by rhema (Mt 27:14), though it, too, can mean a saying or spoken matter. DBR |

20 | When and how EVIL came about? | Rom 5:12 | DBR | 127890 | ||
Evil or Sin occurred first in the spirit realm. Before the creation of the earth and man, God had created intelligent spirit creatures—the angels. (Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:4-7; Colossians 1:15-17) One of these angels thought a great deal of his own beauty and intelligence. (Compare Ezekiel 28:13-15.) From God’s instruction to Adam and Eve to produce children, this angel could see that soon the whole earth would be filled with righteous people, all of them worshiping God. (Genesis 1:27, 28) This spirit creature desired their worship for himself. (Matthew 4:9, 10) Dwelling on this desire led him to take a wrong course.—James 1:14, 15. DBR |
