1 | What is the true meanign of proverbs 18: | Prov 17:17 | Timaeus | 208826 | ||
My Christian brothers, well, I will tell everyone now why I stopped using one identity, it was, for a while I stayed away from the Forum for the reason that I felt that users were being overly critical of others and overly judgemental, which is a conflict with the direction I would like my walk to continue. To wit: you wrote: By the way Tim, here is something Doc (DocTrinsograce) has written... ((and further)) participants prefer to use the words of others rather than invest the time, energy, and effort in smithing their own words. ???Well is that not what just happened in your post?? I come to the forum because it is an excellent source to learn about the deeper issues in God's Word. I tell others to go to SBF when they have a question that I am unable to answer. I have deleted my profiles because there is no reason why people should pursue this issue after I have given my apologies to all readers of this thread. I made a mistake and apologized and the complaining posts nevertheless continued. And now feel that I am being judged for my actions as a fallable mortal being. I may or may not return in the future (with a new identity) to avoid overly confusing anyone who places too much emphasis on details instead of the heart of the message. May our Lord bless you all. nameless |

2 | What is the true meanign of proverbs 18: | Prov 17:17 | Timaeus | 208736 | ||
My apologies to you, Azure, and to the Forum. I used a different user name on a different computer at a different address, and not remembering the details of it, I just started with a new name and password. I am not sure how the old one re-surfaced, again, I apologize if I broke any rules, and also if I caused any confusion. Tim |

3 | when dose god create Satan? | Job 38:7 | Timaeus | 208731 | ||
Greetings Rawlies13 The long and the short of your question actually are two different questions, but that is OK we will all do our best to help you, so, welcome to the Forum. The first time the word 'satan' appears in the King James Version is, 1Chronicles 21:1, "And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel." I do not think that is what you are looking for, -so the first time satan's appearance is noted in the Bible is him, -disguised as a serpent in Genesis 3:1, "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" Now for the answer to the short version, Satan, is understood to be Lucifer, son of the morning (cf Isa 11:12) The name Lucifer actually means "light-bearer" Now, I am not aware of a biblical refernce for the creation of satan, but I lean towards the understanding that the angels were created before man but after light. Blessings to you in your studies, Tim |

4 | What is the true meanign of proverbs 18: | Prov 17:17 | Timaeus | 208724 | ||
Thanks, John, I was unable monitor the thread for a while and am just getting back to it now. It is my belief that Matthew Henry's commentary is in the Public Domain. Again, I could be wrong. If I were to not cite the source, would I be guilty of copyright infringement? or would it just be poor etiquette? My hat goes off to Searcher for his diligence, whether he could've been off the mark or not is not as important to me, as his intentions were honorable. God Bless you both for all that you do, Tim |

5 | Does he still have access to heaven? | 1 Pet 5:8 | Timaeus | 197411 | ||
Greetings, according to this passage in Revelation, he is in heaven now. This is only my take on this verse, but I feel that he will be cast down from heaven exactly 3.5 years into the 7 year tribulation period Rev 12:7 And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war, Rev 12:8 and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. Rev 12:10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night. |

6 | Pray to God or Jesus? | John 4:24 | Timaeus | 197277 | ||
Greetings, jesus1km I have questioned that myself, and here is how one pastor explained it to me: You can consider your prayer, like a request made to God (with thanksgiving) as a check that you want to cash at the bank. You cannot cash a check that is not signed at the bottom, so we are to add the name of Jesus to our prayer. Now, who do we pray to? Well, the same person that Jesus prayed to, you can turn to John 17 for Jesus' high priestly prayer to see who He prayed to. As you pray in the spirit, for God is Spirit, we pray to our heavenly Father, in the name of His Son, thereby involving all three members of the Trinity. This, at least is how I understand it, and my best answer to your question. In His service and yours, Tim |

7 | Psalms 8 compared to Matt 1:25-26 | Matt 11:25 | Timaeus | 197274 | ||
Greetings aggiedad3, In Matthew we have Christ looking with thankfulness towards His heavenly Father, considering the privileges and benefits of the covenant of grace. In Psalm 8, we are led to observe the glory of God in the kingdom of nature and are prompted to consider our spiritual Father's glory in His kingdom of grace. However, it is hard to pin down the specific verse you are looking for. I hope this helps. Tim |

8 | where is "HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT in old test | Gen 1:2 | Timaeus | 197201 | ||
bald eagle, In the King James Version, the OT speaks of the Holy Spirit, while the NT says Holy Ghost. The OT is translated mostly from the Hebrew language while the NT comes to us from the Greek. There are bound to be difficulties, since no language will always translate perfectly into another language. The King of Babylon in the Book of Daniel talks about the "spirit of the holy gods" since he is a pagan. There are other translations that will use other wording in the same spots for the same person, so, without getting too far off on the side issues, has your question been answered, or is there more that I can do to help you in your understanding of where the Holy Ghost/Spirit is first mentioned in Scripture? There may possibly be a reason behind your question so if you clarify the specifics we will all be only too glad to help. May God bless you in your search for His truth. Tim |

Here it is, in the King James Version: Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. (Mat 1:18 KJV) | ||||||
10 | proper name HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT | Gen 1:2 | Timaeus | 197142 | ||
Blessings to you, Bald Eagle. I believe the verse you are looking for is in the gospel of Matthew 1:18 tim |

11 | What was in the cup, wine? | Mark 14:25 | Timaeus | 192086 | ||
Thank you, rabban. The answers you provided are helpful and do much for me in the way of enlightenment, of the nature of Jesus as well as how we are to conduct our own behavior. This is my favorite reason for visiting this site, and I wish to thank all of you for participating, Blessings to you. timaeus |

12 | What was in the cup, wine? | Mark 14:25 | Timaeus | 192012 | ||
Thank you for the input. I was in disagreement with a brother about whether Jesus would imbibe in alcoholic beverages, if He entered a tavern today. I thought that no, He would never defile His blood that way, but Scripture seems to show that He did, in fact, drink fermented wine. God bless, and bless God. tim |
||||||
13 | What was in the cup, wine? | Mark 14:25 | Timaeus | 192011 | ||
Sorry, it appears I have been mistaken. I thought that if alcohol was ingested and entered the bloodstream, the blood would be diluted w/ a foreign substance, making it into an altered state. I thought that Jesus would remain pure absolutely, making His sacrifice acceptable. Thank you all for your input, God bless, and bless God. tim |

14 | What was in the cup, wine? | Mark 14:25 | Timaeus | 191889 | ||
This is not a Scriptural issue, but a medical one. When one ingests an alcoholic beverage, the alcohol is absorbed into the blood through the stomach lining. This is measured in a percentage value called blood alcohol content, or BAC. Thank you for your reply, may the Lord bless you superbly. Tim |

15 | What was in the cup, wine? | Mark 14:25 | Timaeus | 191880 | ||
Thank you, Barach. The fruit of the vine most likely is wine, as I now see. My problem is in Jesus actually drinking wine, as I feel this would make His blood impure through the dilution with alcohol. I do not see here where Jesus actually drank the wine, do you? | ||||||
16 | What was in the cup, wine? | Not Specified | Timaeus | 191851 | ||
In the account of The Last Supper, in Matthew and Luke, it only says that Jesus took the cup and blessed it. I have always been told there was wine in the cup. Is there a verse that describes what was in the cup at the Last Supper? | ||||||

18 | Questions of sin and love | Jer 17:9 | Timaeus | 185496 | ||
Hello NightJay0044, The nature of sin is not that it relly takes anything, or, what would it do with it? Is it alive? Do not misunderstand me here, I am just trying to put your question in proper perspective. The Bible uses different words to describe our broken relationship with God. In that sense, sin would take away our fellowship with our Creator, as it 'builds' a wall of separation. This kinda gives sin a life of its own doesn't it? But understand that it is not actually the sin that is doing the building or tearing down, It is mostly done by us, through our freewill that God has given us. David uses three words in Psalm 32 to describe what we mostly call 'sin'. The three are slightly different as follows: Sin is a word used in archery when an arrow misses the target. That is what happens when we miss the mark, or standard of perfection that God had intended for us, like an arrow that veers off to the left or right, we go astray of His straight line of righteousness. Now, Iniquity is similar, it means to stray from a straight path that God has marked out for us. Or, to step over the line. God's path is written for us in the Bible, but the effects of sin are inside us, and we are in the world, so there are many distractions that cause us to become sidetracked or to go on dead-end trails when we seek our own goals. Then there's Transgression, and that is plain rebellion. As Creator of the universe and all that is in it, God has the right to make the rules. He has laid down the law of what is right or wrong, and when we go against Him and step outside of His guidelines, we are transgressing, or, committing a transgression. As far as being the opposite of love, The Bible tells us that God is Love, 1John 4:8 and 4:16 Since God who is holy is opposite of any form of wickedness, the two are like fire and water, they cannot exist together. Yes, That would make them opposites, I believe. For more explanation on the nature of love, look at 1Cor 13:4-8 In His Love, Tim |

Thanks brother John, I just got home to your post from a wonderful study on Revelation at Church. I wont mention any names, but he is Greek, so I thought (B.H.) had some language insight that I was lacking In Him, Tim |

20 | what church do i go to? Help!! | NT general Archive 1 | Timaeus | 185474 | ||
You are so very much in the right, and I believe the angels in heaven started singing praise to God's glory when your question went out. I was in a Bible teaching church when I first was saved, which was very big on fellowship, and that is important. However, after I found my present church and started attending -at first on a temporary basis to see what it was like (Wednesday nights only), The 20 minute sermons at the 'other church' just then started to seem like a watered-down version of the Gospel -as the Cross was mentioned only occasionally. My present church goes through the Bible, verse by verse, chapter by chapter and book by book. The New Testament on Sundays (presently in Hebrews) and the Old Testament on Wednesdays (presently in Isaiah). The wonderfully gifted Pastor recently decided to add another Book on Sunday evening service, so we are presently in the Book of Revelation in that slot. I have learned that when we spend time in God's Word, there will be a change that takes place within us, -more-so that when a pastor does topical studies, although -Please do not get me wrong here, -there is a good use for topical studies and I have nothing against them, per-say. It is just that when we go through the Bible verse by verse, the Pastor cannot skip any Books, in favor of his personal favorites and that creates a real discipline. I should not go on here any further because at this point I am urged to remind you, that this is only my opinion, and I am just a sinner. By the way, I love my Pastor dearly, but he has his share of mistakes in the pulpit also, and we are then able to get a lesson in giving grace and not only receiving. (o; God Bless you in your search for a church. Tim |
