1 | A verse for children of all ages | Eph 6:1 | HowardP | 147826 | ||
As was pointed out to me recently, the word translated children here, "teknon", does not contain an element of age. Many of the other terms translated "child" or "children" do. Paul intended this to apply to children of all ages. | ||||||
2 | How to convince the Nasb is reliable | 1 Kin 20:38 | HowardP | 90512 | ||
The only way to deal with this sort of thing is head on. Ask for specific examples of verses that give them trouble, then look at the verse in the KJV and NASB and show them no information has been lost, nothing has been changed. In the verse I cite, the criticism of the NASB is based on its difference from the KJV, not from the original Hebrew manuscripts. | ||||||
3 | Why do people believe jesus is god | John 8:58 | HowardP | 68532 | ||
Short Answer: because He has proved Himself reliable, and He said He is. In fact, just about every time He opened His mouth (as recorded for us in the Gospels), He was claiming to be God, usually by association. By that I mean, He was claiming for Himself some attribute of godhood. For instance, when the Old Testament prophets relayed to the people some message of God, they would always preface it with "thus says the Lord", so the people would know this was from God. When Jesus spoke, it was "truly truly I say to you" (Matthew 5:18 is one of many examples). He told people their sins were forgiven, something only God couod do (Matthew 9:1-8). Now, when Jesus would say something like this, He was often confronted with a charge of blasphemy for claiming to be God, so it's clear that His hearers interpreted these claims as such. What was His answer? He would demonstrate miraculous power to prove His claim. Why should we believe these miracles actually took place? Even His enemies did not deny them! When He was accused, the charges were based on His words, not on His miracles (Matthew 26:59-60). It's an interesting point, in my opinion: the leaders and the people were expecting Messiah, and they thought He would be a miracle worker. I'm not sure what kind of expectation they had about what Messiah would say, but they expected He would do great things. Here comes Messiah, saying great things; they accuse Him of blasphemy, so He provides the evidence they say they are looking for, great works, and yet they still don't believe. |

4 | Rev 22:15....Knocking on Heaven's door? | Rev 22:15 | HowardP | 68517 | ||
It is almost always a mistake to look at just one verse, especially on a topic covered so many other places. I do not see any specifics in that verse as to the proximity of these lost people, only that they are outside. Nor any indication they will be trying to get in. I would expect they might actually flee the sight of the heavenly city. | ||||||
