1 | Where do angels sing in the Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | Tim3:16 | 208714 | ||
I am not sure, does this verse qualify? Rev 14:3 And they *sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one could learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been purchased from the earth. |

2 | What is the true meanign of proverbs 18: | Prov 17:17 | Tim3:16 | 208705 | ||
Hi Crazyace, The best way to describe the Gist of the verse is brought to us, I feel, by the late Matthew Henry: "A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." (Pro 18:24) Solomon here recommends friendship to us, and shows, 1. What we must do that we may contract and cultivate friendship; we must show ourselves friendly. Would we have friends and keep them, we must not only not affront them, or quarrel with them, but we must love them, and make it appear that we do so by all expressions that are endearing, by being free with them, pleasing to them, visiting them and bidding them welcome, and especially by doing all the good offices we can and serving them in every thing that lies in our power; that is showing ourselves friendly. 2. That it is worth our while to do so, for we may promise ourselves a great deal of comfort in a true friend. A brother indeed is born for adversity, as he had said, ch. 17:17. In our troubles we expect comfort and relief from our relations, but sometimes there is a friend, that is nothing akin to us, the bonds of whose esteem and love prove stronger than those of nature, and, when it comes to the trial, will do more for us than a brother will. Christ is a friend to all believers that sticks closer than a brother; to him therefore let them show themselves friendly. I hope this helps, your friend in Christ, Tim |

3 | could foundation be a type of NT doctrin | 2 Chr 23:5 | Tim3:16 | 208703 | ||
Greetings again, sister, You may be correct, on capitalization out of respect for the holy place. I myself tend to over-capitalize some words in the middle of a sentence to give them special attention. True, there are many metaphores and similies that point forward to the coming Messiah, Jesus. He said He was the stone that the builders rejected in Matt 21:42, as He was referring to the OT in Psa 118:22 ('Stone' may as well be capitalized) "The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief corner stone." So, you could well be headed down a familiar path, looking to find doctrine within the passage in question. Now, let's look at the word 'foundation' in particular to see if that is what was meant by the original author. Strong's number 03247 is used for foundation in 2 Chr 23:5 The Hebrew word is yes-ode' and means, foundation, base, or bottom. It is first used in the OT as 'base' in the NASB, in Exod 29:12,"You shall take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; and you shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar. Leviticus 4:7, 4:18, 4:25, 4:30, 4:34, all refer to the priest applying blood to the base of the altar. The Nasb also translates the word as 'foundation' in Pro 10:25: "When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more, But the righteous has an everlasting foundation." There are some definite parallels there, blood, stone, and righteousness, so, I can see where this word can also be used as a metaphor for the Messiah. However, in my own line of thinking, to see the christology of Jesus Christ (only) as a 'foundation' is sort of like watching a parade through a knothole in a wooden fence. If we were to climb up, and peer over the fence, we would see the entire parade. And then we are able to see Jesus as our All in All. May God Bless you as you study His Word, Tim |

4 | what is the Foundation Gate's significan | 2 Chr 23:5 | Tim3:16 | 208689 | ||
smalltinygirl, That was an excellent question and it had me looking around a lot for some possible answer. It really was a big question for such a smalltinygirl! First, we must remember what we are reading is an translation of the original Scriptures, and we are therefore at the mercy of the interpretor. About half of the translations I read had the word capitalized, for what reason I haven't a clue. Just remember, the original writings did not capitalize those words. Blessings to you as you study His Word, Tim |

6 | what verses refer to student study respo | Deut 6:7 | Tim3:16 | 208686 | ||
Hi CGomes, Please forgive me if I jumped to a conclusion here, but when you say study, I am presuming you mean scriptural studies?? The context that I would like to lead you to is preceded by this well known verse: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. (Deu 6:5) The verse above should be memorized by a diligent student, through to verse 9. What this means is we are commanded by these verses to make God's Word saturate our environment. This shows where we place the priorities in our lives through our daily choices. The study of Scripture, therefore is the responsibility of every believer, It is the capability of every believer, and it is the Privelege of every believer. I say believer, because the meanings of Jesus' parables were obscured to the casual listener. Therefore we are granted certain requirements for learning, that the world does not necessarily possess, so I consider them as "gifts." The first requirement of learning is a New Heart, which gives us the capacity to learn. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing. Secondly we must have a Hungry Heart, by which we gain the motivation to learn. Third is a Teachable Heart which is simply the openness to learn, as in "Do not harden your heart" Fourth is a Disciplined Heart which brings to us our commitment to learn, and comes from the word, 'disciple' Lastly, we will need an Obedient Heart which is excercised in the commitment to walk out what you have learned, by not being hearers only, but doers of the Word. Now is the prime question: Why would we want to study Scripture? There is of course much work involved, as in anything worthwhile, it is worth working for. Bible Knowledge is like precious ore in a mine -you find it when you are determined enough to get it. We are motivated to learn when we perceive that it is something that will benefit us. And remeber, the enemy of our souls has a vested interest in distancing us from God's Word. After all that, I will take you to the obvious verse, one that should not be overlooked, and that is 2Tim 3:16-17: 2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 2Ti 3:17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. God's Love to you and yours, Tim |

8 | what are all the names God is called? | Ex 3:13 | Tim3:16 | 208632 | ||
barbarabradbury, The Name of God, or Holy Name is the name in Eastern or Western spiritual traditions or religions that is used in practice or prayer. However, conceptions of God can vary widely, but the word God in English is normally used for all or many of them. Other languages have generic names and the word for "God" in one language can be understood by speakers of foreign languages as the name of a specific deity worshipped by speakers of that particular language. There are at least 100 names used for God in english, the Jewish people dare not speak -or write His name, out of reverence, But as the Bible teaches, Jesus is actually our brother, I prefer Father -as in spiritual father. More to follow..... Tim |

12 | can divorce be initiated | 2 Tim 2:15 | Tim3:16 | 208355 | ||
Brad, Your answer is appropriate, due to the brevity of my question. Thank you for your response. I have counseled with a number of Bible-believing pastors, and during the past year, after finding a pastor that my spouse agreed to see after some failed attempts, that particular pastor said that he saw my marriage as existing nowhere else except on paper. This is because my wife continued to be un-cooperative and it was evident that she never meant to recite her vows in the first place. Since I have no wife to speak of, the pastor said divorce was an option. A godly friend said to me that he would like to see that pastor back his view up biblically. I say that if an unbeliever leaves, I am allowed to let her leave, and I should then be legally freed according to the laws of my state, and be protected against future financial resposibilities prompted by irrational decisions on her part. I know this is brief, but I really feel the need to initiate divorce proceedings after a marriage of 8 months and seperation of more than 15. Tim |

While listening to a Christian talk show, the host stated that anxiety, fear and depression, while we are told that these are mental illnesses, cannot be an illness, since mentality is not a biological function, but basically due to personal choices when not caused by physical damage or defect. I could ot get thru to the show, so can someone show me how to back this up in scripture, without going to the obvious verse in Philippians 4:6? | ||||||

19 | Matthew 5:7 the simple meaning? | Matt 5:7 | Tim3:16 | 184640 | ||
Hi Sam84, This sounds like such a fun study for you to take the children thru, Blessed are you (o: It is hard to relate to verses in the beatitudes because they go completely against all that the world teaches us, and against our own desires as well. The first that I would teach them is the translation of the word 'blessed', one meaning would be, "Oh, How Happy" as in, Oh how happy are the ones who are merciful! which couples with, Oh how happy are they who OBTAIN mercy! That translates into today simply as Jesus has paid the debt of sinful man through His blood, at the cross. We are happy (blessed) because God so loved the world that He sent His only Son to die for us. (John 3:16) This is a powerful picture at any age. To be merciful is to not give a punishment that is deserved, and God is merciful to sinners. For us to be merciful to others is to forgive them. To forgive as God forgives is to forgive completely, honestly and instantaneously. This is very hard, for us who are in the flesh to do, because flesh wants to give paybacks, which is a pride issue. God hates pride and withholds mercy to those who cling to sinful pride.. This is living the life of a true Christian, not to be judgmental as we once were, seeking vengeance and demanding amends for the wrongs done to us. Having obtained mercy from God, we should want to show mercy. The next chapter tells us, "But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." This verse should be comprehendable to a child at any age. To shed more light, turn to Matt 18:23 where Jesus begins a parable to explain what happens to those who are not merciful, The children will love you for writing this lesson upon their hearts, and our Lord will surely bless you as well. Happy Teaching, Tim |

20 | Acts:What was the role of Gamaliel? | Acts 22:3 | Tim3:16 | 184516 | ||
Paul was giving account of himself here to the chief captain, that it may be understood that Paul was not a danger to the Jews, nor was he of Egyptian origins, but he was in fact brought up in Jerusalem, the principal seat of the Jewish learning, and at the feet of Gamaliel, whom they all knew to be an eminent doctor of the Jewish law. This is not to be confused with the OT Gamaliel, son of Pedahzur, in Num 1:10 and 2:20, and others. God Bless, Tim |
