1 | Thou shalt not use thy Lords namein vain | Prov 30:9 | kw5kw | 185294 | ||
I "feel" that; "Yes, it is bad. Why? Because what are you doing when you say this? You are exclaiming something about God, to God or by God. That isn't what God had in mind when he said you need to worship him. You should be humble to the LORD, reverent in your aproach to Him. Happy, Yes, but never just blurting something out! It's a conditioned reflex, just as the cursewords are. Just train yourself to say something like: "Good Golly!" or "Wow!" and you'll be much happier. For scripture see Exodus xx:7; Deu v:11; Psa cxxxix:20 And as the BBE translates Proverbs xxx:9 " For fear that if I am full, I may be false to you and say, Who is the Lord? or if I am poor, I may become a thief, using the name of my God wrongly. " Because to do something in vain is to by defination is something that is: 1. Empty; worthless; having no substance, value or importance. When you say, "Oh! My God!" you are doing just that, saying something as an explamation that actually has no more importance than simply saying: "Wow!" |

3 | what does it means sons of God here ? | Gen 6:2 | kw5kw | 182845 | ||
First I wish to refreshen our memories upon proper doctrine: In Matthew (xxii:23-33 ), Mark (xii:18-27 ) and Luke (xx:27-40 ) we find Jesus teaching the Sadducees this: Right now all of us are mortal human beings and we are the children of this world; we marry, and are given in marriage. We do this so that we might produce children so that we might be able to carry on the human race. But those of us to whom it will be accounted worthy that they will be able to obtain that world that is beyond; i.e.: those who will be allowed into the Kingdom of Heaven, they will be resurrected from the dead. And once in heaven we will then be equal to the angels in heaven and we will all no longer be simple, mortal, human beings because we will have then become the true Children of God. Once that happens there will no longer a need to marry nor will anyone be given in marriage. Remember that once we’re in heaven we will not be able to die any more. And because of this there will then no longer be a need for producing children. All of the inhabitants of heaven will have been accounted for by then (the resurrection), therefore there will be no need for new additions. With this teaching we also see and understand that the angels do not have the need to produce children either. Therefore we can conclude that since they don't have the need to produce children they also don't have the "equipment" necessary to produce children. It's the Creator who does the creating, nothing else! Why go into the New Testament to answer a question centered in the Old Testament? Simple, it's to create the necessary foundation to prove that the sons of men that are mentioned in Genesis vi:2 are not fallen angels. This is a false teaching that comes from an extra-Biblical book called the book of Enoch where in Chapter seven of this book the author describes that there were two hundred angels that managed to descend to earth . That they took human women who bore giants who were some three hundred cubits in size! (Which was entire length of the arc! ) It’s obvious to me why the book of Enoch is not canonical in the Judeo-Christian world outside of Ethiopia. The sons of God that are mentioned in Genesis vi:2 are actually the sons of Seth who was the son of the creation of God: Adam. Seth followed in Abel’s footsteps and was pleasing to God, therefore his descendents became the sons of God that are mentioned here. The sons of God once again could not be that of fallen angels because then they would be called something besides the sons of God for God disowned Satan and his followers, casting them down in their spiritual bodies and not allowing them to have any type of creative powers. They always have been and always will continue to be spiritual beings. To say that they could have had creative powers and manifest themselves as able to become human then it would be possible for them to have deceived mankind as Jesus either in the original incarnation or in the resurrection. That would make our belief in Jesus questionable and kill Christianity before it was started. The daughters of men listed in this same verse of Genesis would then be the descendents of fallen man, i.e.: Cain. The union of these wicked women over came the goodness of the men and their offspring became large men—larger than most and they became known as giants because they were indeed larger and stronger than most men. It was this race of antediluvian mankind that God wiped from the face of the earth. Here are my notes: the text for Matthew xxii:23-33, Mark xii:18-27 and Luke xx:27-40 was deleted because of length issues in this forum. http://www.johnpratt.com/items/docs/enoch.html The Book of Enoch translated from Ethiopic by Richard Laurence, London, 1883. The book of Enoch is considered canonical in Ethiopia. Enoch7:7 Then they swore all together, and all bound themselves by mutual execrations. Their whole number was two hundred, who descended upon Ardis, which is the top of mount Armon. Enoch7:10-12 Then they took wives, each choosing for himself; whom they began to approach, and with whom they cohabited; teaching them sorcery, incantations, and the dividing of roots and trees. And the women conceiving brought forth giants, Whose stature was each three hundred cubits. These devoured all which the labor of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them; (see the next footnote) Genesis vi:15 ... The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, ... Genesis xiv:5 II Samuel v:18; I Chronicles xi:15; Isaiah xvii:5, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephilim Ezekiel xxxvii Ezekiel xxxvii:11 Joshua xv:13; Joshua xxi:11 (Hebron) Which is where Abraham’s wife Sara was buried.

4 | ur view on Contemporary Christian music? | Eph 5:19 | kw5kw | 179858 | ||
Hank wrote: "A couple of years ago while on vacation my wife and I attended a church service where contemporary music was the only kind they offered that day. And for both my wife and me the high point of that experience was when the service was over and we could leave without drawing attention to ourselves!" Hank, I agree completely with this statement, and your entire article. Modern Christian music, in my humble opinion, is nothing short of a travesty! The church where we were attending, voted to go to contempory music. I actually tried to be patient and forgiving, but when they started "rappin'" I said: "That's enuf!" and we haven't been back to that church since. (There is more to the story than music, but music played a very important factor in our decision to find a new Chruch home.) |

5 | May we take another short look at this? | Acts 16:31 | kw5kw | 179337 | ||
Mark, In looking at how frivolous the young people of this, and any generation for that matter, are, how rebellious and how seemingly that many, many of them are remarkably turned around at approximately the ages between nineteen and twenty-one. We have this verse in Psalms: Psalms xxv:7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD. Put together with: Ecclesiastes xii:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; And all of this is reinforced by: Isaiah liv:4 Fear not; [saith the Lord (from verse 1 of this chapter)] for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. May we really wonder why we should not consider the responsible adult age to begin at nineteen? It's because by that age they have somehow grown out of their childish ways—ways where they test everything, push their limits just to see how far they can go; ways when we teach the right ways and punish wrong behavior before it become something out of control but before it can be held against them because they didn’t know all of the right ways— and become real reasonable, responsible adults. And, if they haven’t learned by then, then they still have the chance of reconciliation by accepting Jesus as their personal Saviour. Does this make sense to you? |

6 | Numbers 14:29 is this the age of acc...? | Acts 16:31 | kw5kw | 179193 | ||
Ok, Mark you brought up the age of accountability. Here is something that I've been think about, contliplating, and studying some more. Back to the desert where God is dispensing His judgement on the Hebrews who rejected the report of the two spies and took the word of the eight other spies over the word of the LORD. This is something that has really stuck with me... pay close attention to verse 29 in the following excerpt from Numbers Chapter xiv. Num 14:20 The LORD responded, "I have pardoned them as you requested. Num 14:21 Yet as surely as I live and as the whole earth is filled with the LORD's glory, Num 14:22 none of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tested Me these 10 times and did not obey Me, Num 14:23 will ever see the land I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have despised Me will see it. Num 14:24 But since My servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followed Me completely, I will bring him into the land where he has gone, and his descendants will inherit it. Num 14:25 Since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the lowlands, turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness in the direction of the Red Sea." Num 14:26 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron: Num 14:27 "How long must I endure this evil community that keeps complaining about Me? I have heard the Israelites' complaints that they make against Me. Num 14:28 Tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say. Num 14:29 Your corpses will fall in this wilderness--all of you who were registered in the census, the entire number of you 20 years old or more--because you have complained about Me. Num 14:30 I swear that none of you will enter the land I promised to settle you in, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. Num 14:31 I will bring your children whom you said would become plunder into the land you rejected, and they will enjoy it. Num 14:32 But as for you, your corpses will fall in this wilderness. Does anyone take this any further as being the age of accountability? That up until, and I saw this related to in Proverbs somewhere, but at this moment I can't find it to relate it here. Any thought? |

7 | Choosing warriors by how they drink | Judg 7:4 | kw5kw | 179192 | ||
What you are looking for is in the Book of Judges. It is where Gideon is to go to defeat the Midianites, but he has too many men: Jdg 7:2 The LORD said to Gideon, "You have too many people for Me to hand the Midianites over to you, or else Israel might brag: 'I did it myself.' Jdg 7:3 Now announce in the presence of the people: 'Whoever is fearful and trembling may turn back and leave Mount Gilead.'" So 22,000 of the people turned back, but 10,000 remained. Jdg 7:4 Then the LORD said to Gideon, "There are still too many people. Take them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. If I say to you, 'This one can go with you,' he can go. But if I say about anyone, 'This one cannot go with you,' he cannot go." Jdg 7:5 So he brought the people down to the water, and the LORD said to Gideon, "Separate everyone who laps water with his tongue like a dog. Do the same with everyone who kneels to drink." Jdg 7:6 The number of those who lapped with their hands to their mouths was 300 men, and all the rest of the people knelt to drink water. Jdg 7:7 The LORD said to Gideon, "I will deliver you with the 300 men who lapped and hand the Midianites over to you. But everyone else is to go home." Jdg 7:8 So Gideon sent all the Israelites to their tents, but kept the 300 who took the people's provisions and their trumpets. The camp of Midian was below him in the valley. |

9 | Did God create evil? | Is 45:7 | kw5kw | 178835 | ||
The post uses cold, one can also use light/dark as the illustration. One can measure light, how intense, what color, what wavelength but one can't measure dark. One can see the good in God and when one is seperated from good one is un-good or evil. Therefore evil is the seperation from good, just as dark is the seperation from light and cold is the seperation from heat. While evil does happen evil was not a creation by God, evil happened when Satan rebelled against God and has continued ever since. Good post. Russ |

10 | Patience of Job | James 5:11 | kw5kw | 173067 | ||
James v:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. KJV As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy. NIV KJV: Patience; Amp: were steadfast/endured; NASB: endurance; NIV: perseverance The Greek word that the KJV version translates as ‘patience’ and the NIV translates as perseverance is: hupomone:(Strong’s G5281; GK# G5705) hoop-om-on-ay) and is translated to English properly as: “steadfastness; perseverance; patience; standing firm; constancy; endurance.(Using Thayer, Strongs-NIV, Strongest Strongs-KJ, Vines)” The Greek words similarly corresponding. Distinct from the Greek word for “patience” which is found in James 5:10 (makrothumia: (Strong 3115) mak-roth-oo-mee-ah). This means that the translators for the KJV that followed the Bishop’s bible which had mistranslated the Latin Vulgate here. To be properly rendered into English, we must look at hupomone as one who represents the characteristic of a man who is unmoved from his deliberate worship of the LORD. It describes one who does not allow himself to be swayed from his love of God no matter what, no matter how, no matter when. Even though the great difficulties of loosing not only his daughters but his sons as well and then all of his great material possessions as well—and all of this in just the space of a few hours in one day. In all of this Job questioned his being for living, he felt sorry for himself and he wished to die as well, in fact he begged for it, but he never turned his back on God. Although he questioned the why—he never questioned the what. Although he wanted an answer, he never floundered in his belief that God is benevolent and loving. Through all of these events, Job never blamed God for any of these calamities. “Endurance is different from just plain patience… Job showed a perfect spirit fo enduring submission. (Jamison, Faussett and Brown)” As we continue to recall the story of Job, and what a wonderful story it is, we recall that first Job lost everything—his son and daughters and all of his material possessions— and yet did not curse the LORD! Then, just because Satan lost that round, he took the fight up one more level—that of attacking Job himself physically with all kinds of boils and tumors and itches and other kinds of pain. Once again Job accepted, without cursing God, his mis-fortunes. The lesson that the book of Job has to teach us to have the composure to be able to endure to the end, to have restraint and perseverance. To be humble and honor God—our Father Jehovah—for all things; in all things. No matter what happens we are to use Job as our example of fortitude. In all of the suffering that Job suffered and in all of the rebukes that Job encountered by his wife and friends (Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar) never once did he rebuke the LORD. Job did question the LORD but he never denied Him. Because of this God rewarded with more than he had before all of this happened. The study of Job is to show that even in hard times if we are ‘patient’ and wait without blaiming God for the problems of the world then we will be rewarded also. We will be rewarded with all of the love that God can give us, and that love is called “Grace”—the unmerited gift of salvation that He gives to those who believe and trust in Him. “The tender mercy of God is such that he will make his people an abundant amends for all of their sufferings and afflictions. Let us serve God, and endure our trials, as those who believe to the end will crown all.” (Matthew Henry) “The book of Job was written…to show that true religion would bare any form of trial to which it could be subjected” (Albert Barnes) Satan was arguing that there was nothing special about Job’s loyalty to God. Satan argued that God had provided such a barrier to Job’s enemies that he had no reason to despise God. God, knowing the truth, allowed Satan to first take away all that he owned and then by inflecting great pain upon him. Job refused to blame God and remained righteous. We know of very few, if any, who have suffered as much as Job, and yet emerges from so great difficulties as he. Whoever will, therefore, try to preserve as Job did should be rewarded just as great as he was. While he, and we, are overcome by the infirmities of our fleshly bodies, or we at times murmur and grumble (1st Corinthians x:10) we must remember to be restrained and governed by God. The Bible gives other examples of such trials and tribulations. Consider the trials of Elijah and his flight from Jezebel as rendered in 1st Kings 19 and the trial in the fiery furnace by Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego as told in Daniel 3. Such are the true examples of righteousness. |

13 | When did the curtain rip? | Luke 23:45 | kw5kw | 170961 | ||
Mat_27:45 Mar_15:33 Luk_23:44 [Mt Mk Lk ] And [ Lk ] it [ Mk Lk ] was [ Lk ] about [Mt Mk Lk ] the sixth hour, [ Lk ] and [Mt Mk Lk ] there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour; Luk_23:45 a [ Lk ] and the sun was darkened. Joh_19:25 [ Jn] Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the [wife] of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. Joh_19:26 [ Jn] When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved,* he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! [*Note: This is John himself. See John 21:24.] Joh_19:27 [ Jn] Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own [home]. Mat_27:46 Mar_15:34 [Mt Mk ] And Joh_19:28 [ Jn] after this, [Mt ] about [Mt Mk ] the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, [ Mk ] being interpreted, [Mt Mk ] My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Mat_27:47 Mar_15:35 [Mt Mk ] And some of them that stood there, when they heard [it], said, [ Mk ] Behold, [Mt Mk ] he calleth Elias. [ ] [And] [ Jn] Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Joh_19:29 [ Jn] Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: Mat_27:48 Mar_15:36 [Mt Mk Jn] and [Mt ] straightway [Mt Mk ] one [Mt ] of [Mt Jn] them [Mt Mk ] ran, and [Mt ] took [Mt Mk Jn] a spunge, [Mt ] and [Mt Mk Jn] filled [Mt ] [it] [Mt Mk Jn] with vinegar, and put [it] on [Mt Mk ] a [ Jn] hyssop [Mt Mk ] reed, [ Jn] and put [it] to his mouth, [Mt Mk ] and gave him to drink, Mat_27:49 [Mt Mk ] saying [ ] [with] [Mt ] the rest, [Mt Mk ] Let be; let us see whether Elias will come to [ Mk ] take him down [ ] [and] [Mt ] save him. Joh_19:30 [ Jn] When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished. Mat_27:50 Mar_15:37 Luk_23:46 [Mt Mk Lk ] And when Jesus had cried [Mt ] again [Mt Mk Lk ] with a loud voice, [ Lk ] he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: [ Lk Jn] and [ Lk ] having said thus, [Mt Mk Lk Jn] he [ Jn] bowed his head, and [Mt Mk Lk Jn] gave up the ghost. Mat_27:51 Mar_15:38 Luk_23:45 b [Mt Mk Lk ] And, [Mt ] behold, [Mt Mk Lk ] the veil of the temple was rent [Mt Mk ] in twain [ Lk ] in the midst, [Mt Mk ] from the top to the bottom; [Mt ] and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; Mat_27:52 [Mt ] and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, Mat_27:53 [Mt ] and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. Mat_27:54 Mar_15:39 Luk_23:47 [Mt Mk Lk ] Now when the centurion, [ Mk ] which stood over against him, [Mt ] and they that were with him, watching Jesus, [Mt Mk Lk ] saw [ Mk ] that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, [ ] [and] [Mt ] the earthquake, and [Mt Lk ] what was done, [Mt ] they feared greatly, [ ] [and] [ Lk ] glorified God, [Mt Mk Lk ] saying, Truly this [ Mk ] man [Mt Mk Lk ] was [ Lk ] a righteous man, [Mt Mk ] the Son of God. Luk_23:48 [ Lk ] And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. |

And, by who's traditions do you follow? I follow the Bible. I might listen to other preachers, but the understanding of the bible tells me if they are right. If they are, then I will listen to their message. I might read other's commentaries, then I check with what the Bible says, and some have it right here others have it right there, but the Bible tells me who has it right each and every time. I might read some post here, most post here in this forum are based upon the Bible--especially the replies from people like kalos, hank, doc and a few others. However, I always take what is written here and compare to what the scriptures teach to come to my conclusions. I have posted some things here that have provoked some reaction. It was reaction that I was needing inorder to get some things in my mind cleared up. I might think at times that this site is a bit more concerned with the letter of the law of the bible than others, but there are reasons for that. The main one is to keep the word of God Holy and Pure. Only Sola Scriptura can keep the intent of the word of God pure. Russ |

It's not so much to scold any one person, as it is to say "Lets just answer the question, and not point people to search engines." I simply feel that we are getting way too impersonal. You ask about satellite radio, I could say go to xmfan.com and read for yourself, but I won't, although www.xmfan.com is an excellent resource. In my opinion XM is better than Sirius because: 1) Sirius has Howard Stern, is there any better reason for a Christian to have XM? 2) Sirius has a gay/lesbian channel, reason #2 for a Christian to have XM. 3) I've had XM since 9/11/2002 well within their first year of service when they had fewer than 80,000 total subscribers and have watched them grow and improve. 4) I really like the line up of channels on XM. the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's all have their own special channels and play only music from their own era. Sirius combines several together. 5) I like a lot of easy listening music, XM has several, ch 24-Sunny and Ch 71-Watercolors are the best, but ch 27-Cinamagic has wonderful soundtracks that you can't hear anywhere else 6) Local (if you live in a MAJOR city) traffic and weather reports on XM. 7) a 24 hour 7 day a week national emergency channel on ... ch 247... 24 7 get it? 8) Xm's birds are in stationary orbit, just like DirecTv or Dish network. No hunting to find signals. Sirius uses 3 birds that are in constant motion. Two are active at any one time the third is down below the equator. Tracking the signal is harder for Sirius receivers to maintain a lock. 9) XM has a huge network of terristeral repeters which, in big cities, help keep you from being blacked out when unable to see the bird because of buildings, parking garages etc. I like being helpful to people, and I hoped that helped, btw, in your opinion, why did the LORD say "lets make man in our image"? I have my opinion, but I really don't have time to read thru a bunch of posts here at work.

Why not answer people’s questions.doc Tim Moran wrote: "How many times can we or must we answer "who was cain's wife"? A true follower of God would be honored to answer this question each and every time it would be put to you, and not point some new person that is trying to find an honest answer to an honest question to a hard to use search engine which now brings up pages upon pages of reading. ck 32580 for example. I'm a member of many boards from satellite radio, digital television, many other bible boards to golden retrievers and RV's. It's the same everywhere. Q. "Which is better XM or Sirius?" A. That has been discussed many times, do a search. Just for grins, I went to XMfan.com, and I did a search on “search forum” and I got over seven thousand hits, that’s a lot of non help to people who don’t know anything about satellite radio. How do you think people feel when asking a serious doctrinal, theological question, but you guys here have discussed it what, 5, 10, 15 maybe 20 times already, so you are so tired of that question you basically tell someone this: “We’ve discussed that a bunch here already, please use the search function.” What that pearson is hearing from you is: “you know what, I’m tired of answering that question, look for yourself!” What you’re telling that person is: “I don’t care for you to answer your question.” If someone came up to you in Bible Study would you do the same? Would you hand them a book and tell them; “Look it up, it’s in here, s o m e w h e r e, I don’t know where, try the index.”? I don’t think you would, I hope you would set down with that person and talk to them. This place should be the same… all forums should be the same! Well that person is interested in an answer not searching. Many people, if they're new to a forum, don't know the "KEYWORDS" to search with/for. These new people need a break--they need an answer not somebody getting all haughty and rudely saying do a search. Some more: Q. "Which is better a travel trailer or a 5th wheel?" A. We've discussed that a lot, do a search. Q. "How hard is it to house train your golden?" A. Oh not again, do a search. What is so hard about typing an answer? At least at the golden forum the moderator will do the search for the person and post the results in thread form. If nothing else, do as I do on many boards (and for this subject as well). I write my answers in a word document, copy and paste them to the board and save them. I can then go back and simply cut and paste an answer and edit it for the individual forum. We’re supposed to be Christians, to help people, not to ultimately turn them away. By not answering a question, you could be only proving some pre-supposed attitudes that we Christians only care about ourselves. I submit this to you in a loving and prayerful manner for your consideration. I am Your Brother in Christ, Russ |
