3 | Careful Bible Study -- Not Mysticism | Jer 23:16 | quvmoh | 206902 | ||
Hank, You're right about one thing. I don't know who Sinclair Ferguson is. I haven't read any of his works and I wouldn't know him if he walked up to me on the street and shook my hand. My post is not to criticize Sinclair Ferguson, but against Doc. What is posted was well thought out and well organized, and I assumed copied well. But I ask again .. So what? As I replied to WOS's comment, How does this article relate to the verse in Jeremiah? I don't know where this article comes from because there isn't a book cited, nor is there a website given, nor is there a date .. nothing. Zilch is given, Hank, about where this comes from other than a Name. All I am asking for is an explanation or insight about how this copied article relates to Jeremiah 23 or vice versa. Is that too much to ask for? This article implies by the title that Bible study is important. How can I study and take it to heart if I don't even know anything about the article or Sinclair Ferguson? What is the context? quvmoh |

4 | Careful Bible Study -- Not Mysticism | Jer 23:16 | quvmoh | 206901 | ||
What is wrong with what the response I gave? I want further insight about the copied article. How does it relate to us as Christians Today? How does it relate to the Bible? Why did the poster feel compelled to put that up on the forums? I apologize if my response is offensive. It was not intended to be such. It is intended to get more information. Was the post intended to educate us? Was it intended to encourage conversation? Was it intended to show how resourceful the poster is and how extensive his library is? There is nothing provided but a copied article with the original author's name given. There is nothing else there. No comments. No insights. No scripture verses aside from the one where it is filed in to. Not even a comment about how to copied article relates to the verse in Jeremiah. I applaud Doc on his resourcefulness and the extensiveness of his library. However, how does the copied article relate to this verse in Jeremiah? While it is becoming a Christian not respond at all, it is equally becoming of a Christian to explain what is provided. Quvmoh |

Your thoughts on this is? How does this one man's comments apply to us today and apply to the Bible? What does the author say afterwards about these observations? What is his advice concerning this? No offense intended, Doc, but .. So what? Quvmoh |

6 | don't mary a non believer | Ephesians | quvmoh | 206876 | ||
2 Corinthians 6: 14 is the verse they are referring to, however the context really doesn't specify that it's referring to marriage. In fact, the context is referring to Believers and Unbelievers being in partnerships together, not just marriages. Yes, the meaning of Believers shouldn't be marrying unbelievers can be understood from this passage, but it can also be understood from Ephesians chapter 5. Ephesians 5 is dedicated to marriage, relationships, and family. Paul tells us that we, as christians, should conduct our relationships in a manner that reflects Christ with the Church. How can an unbeliever understand that concept? The unbeliever can not. It's written elsewhere that things of the Spirit and of God are foolishness to the Unbeliever. I referred to Ephesians 5 because that chapter specifically refers to the topic at hand. Quvmoh |

7 | wrong and right to marry the person | Ephesians | quvmoh | 206867 | ||
I know. I can read also. The point being that if God has destined for a couple to marry, then there is no "right" or "wrong" person. This includes, obviously, prayer and fellowship in the Holy Spirit. It has been my observation that many couples enter marriage with the idea that it has a money back guarantee. That if they don't like being married, they can essentially trade it in for a different model or get their money back. However, In many of the marriages that have lasted a lifetime, I've noticed three consistent factors. First, God was worshiped and his word studied. Second, Divorce was never an option. Third, They loved each other and respected one another as Paul describes in Ephesians 5. quvmoh |

8 | wrong and right to marry the person | Ephesians | quvmoh | 206861 | ||
Well .. given that Hosea was commanded by God to marry an adulteress, I don't think there is any right or wrong person to marry as long as it is God's will. However, Paul's message to the Ephesians is to love your spouses and be true to your spouses. In fact, Paul tells the husbands to love their wives as Christ loves the church. So, I'd recommend starting with Ephesians chapter 5. Quvmoh |

9 | Speculation? | 2 Tim 2:23 | quvmoh | 206846 | ||
Greetings, The scientific process of developing a hypothesis, testing said hypothesis, then readjusting the hypothesis based upon the findings can apply to studying the Bible. It is one thing to speculate on the Bible's meaning, but just don't leave it at speculation. Study the Bible from all it's aspects to test your speculation. Then alter your speculation to fit your findings in scripture. Then you repeat the process until your initial speculation now fits with the words of scripture. You never change scripture. You change your beliefs to fit within the context of scripture. You do this by careful study. quvmoh |

10 | To jehovah the earth belong | Bible general Archive 4 | quvmoh | 206735 | ||
Greetings, You ask first who Jehovah is. As I said, Jehovah is God. Jehovah is the English transliteration of the German transliteration of the Latin transliteration of the Hebrew name of God: YHWH. To further explain, When Jerome translated the Bible from Greek and Hebrew into Latin, he transliterated YHWH into Latin Characters. Several centuries later when Martin Luther translated the Bible into German, he transliterated the Latin form of YHWH into German. When the Bible was translated into English, they used the German word for inspiration and is thus: Jehovah. So .. that is a summary of how we got the spelling of Jehovah. You asked how you can live with Jehovah's day in mind. Without any clarity, I am assuming you are referring to either the Sabbath Day, which is Saturday, or The Lord's Day, which is Sunday. What I say next is not written to be forceful, rude, or aggressive, but to help answer your question. God did not have to create anything in existence, but he did. God did not have to reveal himself, but he did. God did not have to send Jesus, but he did. God does not have to provide for our needs, but he does. God did not have to save us from our sins, but he did. God does not have to bestow his Grace and Mercy on us, but he does. God does not have to do anything for us. He does these things, and more, for us because he wants to. God provided his son: Jesus. God provided his law to Moses. God provided his perfect will to his prophets. God provided his Holy Word to his followers. God revealed his perfect righteousness. With all that in mind, how do YOU think you should live? quvmoh |

11 | Is jesus god incarnate? | John 1:14 | quvmoh | 206698 | ||
Greetings, Good questions. First, Jesus is God. John 1:1, John 8:58, John 1:14-18, Mark 14:62, Second, Jesus was born with a perfect sinless nature due to the virgin birth. He was born of God through the vessel of Mary. John 1:14-18 John 17:1-26. Third, Jesus is God the Son of the Triune Godhead. John 14:7-17 Quvmoh |

12 | What is meant in Luke 4:10 | Luke 4:11 | quvmoh | 206658 | ||
This passage is the temptation of Jesus by Satan. Satan is quoting Psalms 91:11-12 here, incorrectly I might add. Psalms 91 is a Psalm of God's divine protection and deliverance. Loosely meaning that God will send his angels to protect against even stubbing your toe on a rock. quvmoh |

13 | Jesus weeping over Lazarus | John 11:35 | quvmoh | 206656 | ||
I would say neither. It is speculation on anyone's part as to why Jesus cried. The context really doesn't clarify. Those who watched it said it was because Jesus loved Lazarus, as noted in verse 36. It could also be due to their lack of faith as hinted at in verse 32-33. However, to raise Lazarus, Jesus would have had to bring him back from Paradise. I think that is why Jesus was crying. He had to deny Lazarus paradise in order to perform a miracle that helped to further prove his claims as Messiah. There are many other possible explanations as to why Jesus cried. Maybe he had allergies that day. No one knows. The important thing is that these tears show us that Jesus wasn't some way off, unfeeling person, but someone with great compassion. quvmoh |

15 | Paul's circumstances writing Rom 8:31-39 | Romans | quvmoh | 206615 | ||
Greetings, The writing of Romans took place possibly in Corinth during the last leg of Paul's third missionary journey, while enroute to Rome. Romans was written to prepare the Church there for his arrival. One contributing factor to these words would have been the growing abuse that the Christians were receiving from the Roman Empire. The words he wrote in verse 31 would have rung clear and loudly to the Christians in Rome. "If God is for us, Who can be against us?" Combine that with the message of previous 7 chapters, It would have been a very moving and powerful statement. Quvmoh |

16 | once saved, always saved-Bible location | NT general | quvmoh | 206506 | ||
Greetings, As some of the others have said, the phrase "Once saved, always saved" isn't found in the Bible. However, that doesn't invalidate the teaching. The term "Trinity" isn't in the Bible, yet the teaching is there. The Term "homosexuality" isn't in the Bible, yet the act is still described as being wrong in the Bible. So this is not something unique. There are a variety of passages that support this. The first is Romans 8. Another is 1 Peter 1:3-9, as well as John 3. quvmoh |

19 | Verse For Testing Leaders? | 1 John 4:1 | quvmoh | 206398 | ||
Greetings, 1 John 4:1 is one of the verses that tell us to test and examine. 1 Thess 5:21 tells us to examine everything. Acts 17:11 tells us that Paul and Silas both went to a church in Berea and the People of the Church were examining the scriptures of everything they were told was true. 2 Timothy 2:15 tells us in the KJV to "Study". In the Nasb is says Be diligent. However, the message is the same. Paul tells Timothy to handle the word of God accurately, which comes through proper study and examination as well as prayer and guidance from the Holy Spirit. quvmoh |

I'm not an advocate of evolution in the least. In fact, I'm a creationist. I'm not saying I have the answers, all I'm saying is that there is plenty of time for God and Nature to develop a single family into the multitude of nations and races we have now. quvmoh |
