1	Did you know (Hos 4:6)...	Matt 22:29	Radioman	45976
	Did you know (Hos 4:6)... "I will destroy my people because they are ignorant"? NLT Matthew 22:29 Jesus replied, "Your problem is that you don't know the Scriptures, and you don't know the power of God." Amplified Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you [the priestly nation] have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you that you shall be no priest to Me; seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children. GOD'S WORD Hosea 4:6 I will destroy my people because they are ignorant. You have refused to learn, so I will refuse to let you be my priests. You have forgotten the teachings of your God, so I will forget your children. New Living Translation Amos 8:11 "The time is surely coming," says the Sovereign LORD, "when I will send a famine on the land - not a famine of bread or water but of hearing the words of the LORD. 8:12 People will stagger everywhere from sea to sea, searching for the word of the LORD, running here and going there, but they will not find it. NASB Matthew 22:29 But Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God. AMPLIFIED Matthew 22:29 But Jesus replied to them, You are wrong because you know neither the Scriptures nor God's power.

3	Cain and Seth's wives descended from who	Genesis	Radioman	45585
	NICE IS NOT THE POINT By CT Columnist Marilyn Chandler McEntyre From Christianity Today magazine, November 13, 2000 'Some time ago I read the synoptic Gospels with a group of literature students, only a few of whom professed to be "reasonably familiar" with the material in those books. We made our way through the Nativity stories, the Sermon on the Mount, the miracles, and the teachings. 'We struggled through some of Jesus' "hard sayings" and disconcerting acts, such as withering the fig tree and casting demons into swine. ("They were innocent swine!" someone protested. "They belonged to some innocent pig farmer!") I was glad for the chance to retrieve some of the shock value of stories so often flattened in an effort to make them palatable. 'As the unit on the Gospels drew to a close, I asked the professing Christians, "How has this reading of these accounts of Jesus' life and ministry changed your understanding of him?" A hand went up. "I don't know exactly how to put this," the young woman mused, "but this isn't the Jesus I grew up with. He doesn't seem very ... nice."'

4	Cain and Seth's wives descended from who	Genesis	Radioman	45382
	Sctt: You sure go through a lot of mental gymnastics and acrobatics to twist the scriptures to fit your notion of "the way things oughta be." Heard on Christian radio: "Look for people who always seem stuck on one over-emphasized point of theology. This is the person who bangs the proverbial drum for his own little area. Some crazy quirk. And it usually is not some great divine insight. They'd like you to think they're so close to God that they have a great divine insight that no one else has. The fact of the matter is they're seeking a platform for the feeding of their ego. Watch for people with a lack of balance." TEV) (2) A fool does not care whether he understands a thing or not; all he wants to do is show how smart he is. (15) Intelligent people are always eager and ready to learn. (ESV) (2) A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. ... (15) An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. (NLT) (2) Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions.

6	His Spirit or Moses'?	Ps 106:33	Radioman	41434
	If you think the Amplified Bible is a "paraphrase," you have been misled. From the Preface of the Amplified Bible, 1965, 1987: The purpose of the Amplified Bible "is to reveal, together with the single English word equivalent to each key Hebrew and Greek word, any other clarifying meanings that may be concealed by the traditional translation method." Notice the purpose of the Amplified is to reveal, "WITH the single English word equivalent", not INSTEAD OF the single English word equivalent. "...the creative use of amplification merely helps the reader comprehend what the Hebrew and Greek listener instinctively understood (as a matter of course)." Notice the use of the word amplification. Amplification -- not paraphrase. This version expresses "the perspective of an individual paraphraser (vs. translator)"? From the Preface to the Amplified New Testament, 1958: "An Editorial Committee gave dedicated and diligent attention to the manuscript. The edited and proofed translation was then submitted to three qualified Greek consultants." Notice it says "translation" -- not "paraphrase." "Twenty-seven translations and versions of the New Testament in whole or in part were assiduously examined and the greatest lexicographers of all times continually consulted . . . A fourfold aim for this version has been kept in view: "1. That it should be true to the original Greek . " (Emphasis added in the above quotations.) Oh, by the way, welcome to "StudyBibleForum.com brought to you by the translators of the New American Standard, AMPLIFIED, and La Biblia de las Américas Bibles" (emphasis added).
7	Crusifiction of Christ	Bible general Archive 1	Radioman	41175
	angel1: The Note quoted below does not rate a reply. Just ignore it. "Subject: Crusifiction of Christ Note: Dear angel1, "I have never been called a witch before, especially by a self proclaimed witch who admits to making statues of sorcerers who invited evil spirits into her own house. Since I am not a witch nor have I ever studied or practiced any type of witchcraft I am amased at the boldness you display in your accusation towards me. I thank God for you being a recovering witch and I give to Him the painful memories you still have against the evil that obviously seduced you into the lies and darkness of the occult. May you read the Bible and be cleansed and healed by the words of life. If you read this thread you will find that I believe Jesus was crucified on a cross not a stake as you seem to believe. . . " (Notice: There is no "fiction" in crucifixion.)
8	What does this verse mean?	1 Tim 2:15	Radioman	40741
	You write: "If you compare the Amplified Bible translation to the origional (sic) greek, then, yes it is someone's wrong interpretation." There is more to the work of Bible translation than most of us are aware of. Having a thorough knowledge of the original languages is just the beginning. "The art and science of Bible translation is one of the most demanding -- and humbling of all ministry professions. Perhaps Martin Luther said it best when he opined that he was glad he became a Bible translator, "...otherwise I might have died someday imagining that I was a learned man." (Apparently there are many who have never done the work of translating the Bible who IMAGINE that they know more than they actually do.) "The challenge of beginning with the original Bible languages, syntax and cultures and translating them into the receptor language, replete with its own idioms and cultural understandings, is massive. IT CAN NEVER BE A WORK OF PERSONAL PREFERENCES or accommodation to special interests." (Emphasis added. "The facts that inspired an updated Scripture text for today's reader", Zondervan.) To be qualified to translate the Bible one needs a good knowledge of ancient LANGUAGES, CULTURES, ARCHEOLOGY, and HISTORY, as well as proficiency in the receptor language (in this case English). Much more is needed than just sitting down with one's Strong's and appointing oneself an expert in Bible translation. The Amplified Bible is someone's wrong interpretation? That statement alone indicates a lack of knowledge and understanding of the Bible and the translation process. One need not like the Amplified, but it is presumptuous and erroneous to declare it to be "someone's wrong interpretation."
9	Was Satan on earth before Adam	Bible general Archive 1	Radioman	40602
	You keep repeating that you believe the Bible and in the next breath you say everything you can to tear down the Bible and people's confidence in it. You continue to rattle on and on, contradict yourself over and over, put your ignorance on display, make the wildest assertions, without proof, that make no sense whatever, and refer to things of which you have neither knowledge nor understanding. It wouldn't hurt YOU to know more. Then again, maybe it would. A little learning is a dangerous thing. So far you are in no danger. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. But no one has the right to be wrong in their facts. I don't know what you base your opinions on, but it sure isn't the Bible.
10	RELIGION HOMEWORK HELP	Rom 12:2	Radioman	40315
	We are never to appraise or evaluate anything by our feelings alone. Everything, including "Jesus Christ Superstar", must be judged in light of the Bible, the Word of God. And the fact is this musical play DOES NOT line up with what is clearly revealed in the Bible about the person and motives of Christ. The composer came right out and said this is the last 7 days of Christ AS SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF JUDAS. This is the Gospel According to Judas, which is another gospel and another Christ. You continually drag the Holy Spirit and the name of Christ into your witless defense of the blasphemous production "Jesus Christ Superstar." You piously complain that your conversation with others seems to have degenerated and that people are arguing. YOU are the one who repeatedly issues personal attacks to all who oppose your unorthodox views. WHY do you think this thread has been restricted? THINK!
11	1 day is 1000 years, why?	2 Pet 3:8	Radioman	39528
	Hank: The Bible couldn't be a game to some of these loving and serene people. If one took a game and played as fast and loose with the rules as these people do with the principles of Bible interpretation, the game would have to be cancelled because of lack of structure. If the player of any game took as light and frivolous an attitude as these dreamers take toward the Bible, that player would be disqualified from the game. If every individual game player interpreted the rules of the game to suit his own fancy, the game would be cancelled on account of confusion and chaos. On the other hand, I guess to some the forum itself is a game in which points are scored for blasphemy and foolishness and where the players compete to see who can make the most outrageous assertions -- all without Scriptural evidence.
12	who did cain marry?	Gen 1:1	Radioman	39249
	Someone missed the point all right, but it wasn't you. I hope this someone will be able to "See-in-time" that she listens to no one and understands nothing.
13	WAS JESUS GOD ON EARTH TOO OR JUSTMAN	Ps 8:5	Radioman	39189
	I regard your post to Hank with a mixture of amusement and offense bordering on disgust. What brass (brazen self-assurance) it takes on your part to presume to tell Hank what the purpose of a forum is. It is true that in general the purpose of a forum is to discuss different thoughts and ideas. However, the specific reason why this forum exists is to ask and answer questions about what the Bible does say. The purpose is not to speculate, hypothesize or fantasize about what the Bible does not say. After reading 1,628 posts by Hank, I can tell you Hank's "little box" is not so little. It contains 66 compartments and is known as the Bible. Likewise, parts of the Bible may fit into YOUR little box and others may not. Maybe YOU shoud not continue to be an active user. At least not until you learn something about the Bible and get an attitude adjustment. I doubt that anyone would miss your inciteful ("incite" is a synonym of a word that "implies responsibility for initiating another's action and often connotes underhandedness or evil intention") remarks. I'm glad you are rethinking the idea that the purpose of a forum is not trying to convert other people to YOUR ways of "thinking".

15	How can the Bible be "objective" truth	Bible general Archive 1	Radioman	38338
	Flippancy dealing with Scripture. This verse means to me.... "Avoid superficial interpretation...avoid superficial interpretation. One of the common problems in interpreting the Bible is this little phrase, "This verse means to me...." so forth and so forth and so forth. Let me tell you something. It doesn't matter what it means to you, the question is what would it mean if you didn't live? What would it mean if you didn't exist? What does it mean period is the issue, not what does it mean to you. "Sometimes you'll hear people get together and supposedly have a Bible study which is little more than a pooling of ignorance. People say, "Well, I look at this verse and I feel this verse is saying..." It doesn't matter what you feel. That has nothing to do with it. It's not a matter of how you feel about the verse, it's not a matter of what you think it means to you. Avoid adlibbing in Bible interpretation. Avoid free wheeling in Bible interpretation. Haphazard handling of God's Word. "We all want to acknowledge the priesthood of the believer...yes, we all want to acknowledge that we have anointing from God, the Spirit of God who dwells within us and the Spirit of God who dwells within us is the teacher who teaches us. We all want to acknowledge that. But that is not justification for flippancy dealing with Scripture. That's why in 1 Timothy 5:17 it says, "The elders who work hard in the Scripture are worthy of double honor." It is hard work. Avoid superficial interpretation. Avoid "this means to me." That is not a statement that should preface any interpretation of Scripture. The question is, what does it mean if you don't exist? What did it mean before you were born? And what will mean it after you're dead? What does it mean to people who will never meet you? What does it mean period, is the issue." (John MacArthur at www.gty.org/Broadcast/transcripts/90-157.htm)
16	How Should I Respond?	Bible general Archive 1	Radioman	35748
	Hank: You write: How should I respond to this statement? Answer: The statement, 'Twas brillig and the blamfamings did frumiously outgrabe", is obviously nonsense. I suggest you answer nonsense with nonsense. Perhaps you could spew forth the following nonsense in answer to the email: ?man of...judge the you are...god! of place in himself put to try would man a only dan!man a but are You .anything announce or denounce to you are who...approval your for need no...approval your have to need no....?once earth to came only that said that ago long from same the you are

	Please search for your question before asking it.
18	The origin of life	Genesis	Radioman	34364
	See Genesis chapters one and two for what the Bible says about the origin of life. The Bible says nothing about evolution. Does the Bible say that his creatures are permanent and can never change? Are you talking about evolution or adaptation within a species? Or are you referring to extinction? The Bible says nothing about the extinction of certain plants and animals. Yet we know that exctinction has occurred and does occur. The Bible does not say how old the planet earth is.
19	Is masterbating bad?	Bible general Archive 1	Radioman	34362
	If you find a verse of Scripture containing the word masturbate or masturbation, please let us know the book, chapter and verse where either of these two words is used.
20	can courts give dealth penalty	Bible general Archive 1	Radioman	34361
	Please list scriptures that say it is NOT ok for courts to impose the death penalty. Please show us a clear verse of scripture that says in plain and unambiguous language that God has banned the death penalty. The commandment against murder doesn't count. God never contradicts Himself and He Himself commands the death penalty for certain crimes.
