1 | TAIL BREARE'S IN THE N/T FOUND | Eph 4:31 | Dacajunwolf | 191402 | ||
A talebearer is an archaic way of refering to someone who spreads gossip or slander. OTHER NEW TESTAMENT PROHIBITIONS: James 4:11 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. Col 3:8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Titus 3:2 to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men. 1 Pet 2:1 Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. NEW TESTAMENT CONDEMNATIONS: Rom 1:29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, psithuristes, psith-oo-ris-tace'; a secret, vicious whisperer 2 Cor 12:20 For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip [psithuristes], arrogance and disorder. 1 Tim 5:13 Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things they ought not to. 3 John 1:10 So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, gossiping [phluaros] maliciously about us. Not satisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church. THE CLEAREST NEW TESTAMENT PROHIBITION: Mat 7:12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. Mat 22:39b … 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Our greatest motivation for not putting others in bad light is our obedience to the Law of Christ – we must love others as we want to be loved. If we do not want people to talk about us when we are not there, then we must treat them with the same consideration. As children of God, we must be alert to one of Satan's chief goals – to bring division to God's family. Offenses will happen in all relationships, so we must guard ourselves against harboring resentment, and sitting in judgment of one another. We must be especially careful to not fall victim to the devil's scheme and speak negatively of one another -- Christ's prescription in Matthew 18 must be followed. Before mentioning our concern to anyone else, we must speak first to the one who concerns us. We must "be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave" us. (Eph 4:32) |

2 | Is Rahab's home still standing? | Josh 2:15 | Dacajunwolf | 148091 | ||
The only thing that remains of ancient Jericho is a mound or "tel" where the city once stood. A "tel" is a small hill that is the result of many habitation layers on top of each other. This was the time before bulldozers and people apparently found it too much trouble to remove the older ruins, so they just built a new house on top of an old one. The old houses would become useless after a while due to the rain. There are parts of a city wall and rampart on the southern side of the tel. At the beginning of the 20th Century, when this wall was first dug out, archaeologists wanted to believe that these were the walls that Joshua conquered. But it was later proved that they are 1000 years older. Now it is thought that there are no remains at the tel of Jericho from the time the Israelites arrived in the Promised Land. About this the debate still goes on. |

3 | Why is Acts 8:37 in KJV and not NIV | Acts 8:37 | Dacajunwolf | 132961 | ||
I also cannot endorse anything published by Chick Publications for the reasons mentioned. The differences in texts between the KJV and most contemporary texts has to do with manuscript text-types and variants. A good starting place for (accurate) information on the issues involved is http://www.bible-researcher.com/ | ||||||
4 | Can obedience produce the new birth? | 1 Cor 13:8 | Dacajunwolf | 132960 | ||
(CEV) Galatians 3:21b ...If ANY law could give life to us, we could become acceptable to God by obeying that law. Basically, Paul is stating that if the observance of any law, regulation, commandment or ordinance could put one right with God, then it would have been given. Jesus would not have needed to die...there would have been no Calvary...no sacrifice...no atonement...ONLY obedience to law. (CEV) Galatians 3:2 I want to know only one thing. How were you given God's Spirit? Was it by obeying the Law of Moses or by hearing about Christ and having faith in him? 3 How can you be so stupid? Do you think that by yourself you can complete what God's Spirit started in you? 4 Have you gone through all of this for nothing? Is it all really for nothing? 5 God gives you his Spirit and works miracles in you. But does he do this because you obey the Law of Moses or because you have heard about Christ and have faith in him? 6 The Scriptures say that God accepted Abraham because Abraham had faith. 7 And so, you should understand that everyone who has faith is a child of Abraham. |

5 | Jesus in the flesh..what does this mean | Matt 1:23 | Dacajunwolf | 132959 | ||
(NASB)John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (CEV) John 1:14 The Word became a human being and lived here with us. The WORD was GOD...the WORD became human (NASB)John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him. (CEV) John 1:18 No one has ever seen God. The only Son, who is truly God and is closest to the Father, has shown us what God is like. (CEV) Philippians 2:6 Christ was truly God. But he did not try to remain equal with God. 7 He gave up everything and became a slave, when he became like one of us. |

6 | Scriptural Support? | Luke 24:33 | Dacajunwolf | 132958 | ||
Advocates for such teaching (most notably among Jehovah's Witnesses) use texts like 1 Pet. 3:18 where it says that Christ was "put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit" as an attempt to show that Jesus was not raised physically, but as a kind of spirit creature. Use of this scripture to support this position is incorrect because this verse does not say that He was raised a spirit creature. It says that He was "made alive in the spirit." What does that mean? Quite simply, it means that Jesus was raised in an imperishable body. This is what 1 Cor. 15:35-45 says when it refers to the body as being sown perishable, but raised imperishable; sown in dishonor and raised in glory; sown a natural body and raised a spiritual body, etc. Jesus was the "Last Adam" a life giving spirit. Paul is typifying the resurrection body. In this passage Paul is talking about the resurrection of all people. All Christians will be raised in physical bodies. It is said the same of Jesus. After His resurrection Jesus said, "Touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have" (Luke 24:39). You must note that Jesus did not say, "flesh and blood." He said, "flesh and bones." This is because Jesus’ blood was shed on the cross. The life is in the blood and it is the blood that cleanses from sin: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul" (Lev. 17:11). See also, Gen. 9:4; Deut. 12:23; and John 6:53-54. Jesus was pointing out that He was different. He had a body, but not a body of flesh and blood. It was flesh and bones. |

8 | Did the Amplified come from Wescott and | Bible general Archive 1 | Dacajunwolf | 2644 | ||
B.F. Westcott and F.J. Hort, depending on who you talk to, were either two of the greatest Greek scholars or villainous unsaved instruments of Satan. Without getting involved into the controversies surrounding these men, Westcott and Hort in 1881 produced a "critical" text of the New Testament primarily based on the Codex Vaticanus and the Codex Sinaiticus. The former had not been accesible and the latter had been unknown to the translators of the KJV. These manuscripts are much older than the texts upon which the KJV was based and has several variant readings from the KJV. Their goal to ascertain what was the original underlying Greek text behind all the manuscript copies. They are considered the "fathers" of modern Text Criticism. The Westcott-Hort Greek text was the NT basis for the English Revised Version (1885) and its American counterpart, the American Standard Version (1901). Most modern translations follow a Greek text based on Westcott and Hort's scholarship, but with the advanced knowledge gained in last 100 years of Biblical scholarship. A fairly notable recent exception is the New King James Bible which favored the same family of texts (known commonly as the Textus Receptus) as the KJV. The Amplified Bible follows this modern school of scholarship but is conservative in its approach and most of the variant readings not found in the "critical" text are still found in the Amplified Bible (often notated). The NASB for its part, in most instances follows the 23rd edition of the Nestle Greek New Testament. This text is also a "critical" text, but again the NASB is very conservative and, variant readings from the Textus Receptus and other sources are notated or inserted into the text bracketed. For those knowledgeable in Greek, the Textus Receptus and the Westcott-Hort texts can be read online at: http://www.olivetree.com/bible/Frames/GreekNewTestament.htm |

9 | What is the Reformation Study Bible | Bible general Archive 1 | Dacajunwolf | 2638 | ||
"The Reformation Study Bible, under the editorial leadership of reformed scholars such as R.C. Sproul and J.I. Packer, offers a modern restatement of Reformation truth for the broad evangelical community." This is basically a version of the NKJV with the notes of the Geneva Bible (1560) revised and updated for the 21st century. It is published by Thomas Nelson and Sons in various editions. http://www.nelsondirect.com/nelsondirect/ | ||||||
10 | Filled with Holy Spirit or holy spirit? | Acts 21:4 | Dacajunwolf | 2637 | ||
It has become customary to capitalize Deity and pronouns referring to Deity, but that is just a custom or tradition. The original Hebrew and Greek make no such distinctions (SOME Greek manuscripts are ALL capital letters!) and it is up to the translators' own knowledge of English grammar and usage when translating to decide which words are capitalized or not. As for Acts 21:4, I feel the use of the capital here is warranted and does indeed refer to the Holy Spirit of God since it agrees with the context of the entire chapter and book of Acts regarding the work of the Spirit. | ||||||
