1 | Two questions on Daniel Chapter 5 | Dan 5:25 | Morant61 | 80484 | ||
Greetings J! First of all, welcome to the forum! You wrote: "I don't worry about picking to pieces scripture...the Bible tells us this is foolishness, debate for the sake of debate..It takes our hearts and minds off of what is really important in scripture." Where exactly does the Bible tell us that it is foolishness to dig into the meaning of the 'pieces' of Scripture? :-) I agree with part of your point. It is possible to analyze the message of God intensly, but never actually 'hear' it. However, it is even more dangerous to go to the other extreme and not dig into God's Word and just 'make it' mean whatever we want. God's Word is written in real languages according to real rules of grammar. I believe that it is extremely important to dig into God's Word that we might better understand it and respond to it. Paul refers to this in 2 Tim. 2:15: "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth." Here 'correctly handles' is literally 'cutting straight the Word of Truth'. It is the same word used of a tent maker, who had to cut the pieces correctly and accurately in order to make a tent. Scripture must be approached with the same dilligence and care. And, yes, it must also be responded to as well. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Two questions on Daniel Chapter 5 | Dan 5:25 | Jeanne1 | 80490 | ||
Dear Tim: I would suggest you read the entire thread provided by Chusarcik, who cannot seem to understand the gospel, or history, or bother to look up anything else that might be of consequence. This person asks some of the most bizarre questions, that have eluded scholars for the ages, and wants a 3 sentence answer. When this person found out about a Jewish writer, who would dare to ask if person knew the Lord? the thread was broken. Thanks for your input...I know the scripture well..unfortunately it's not well adhered to...I would rather see people evangelize that prognosticate..about things that have really no relevance to life today. If you don't know the Lord as your personal saviour...you can have all the answers to all the questions but for what? Do you really think the handwriting on the wall at Nebbi's party in Daniel will save a soul? Maybe, but who cares? It's fun to do, and fun to read, and yes it pertains to exactly what is happening in the middle east today, but you need to read a whole lot more than a few verses, and a couple on internet chats Thanks, J |

This is truly a fun website, Tim, and please don't misunderstand me. I love to discuss scripture with other Christians, we all have such diverse backgrounds and can bring so much to the table, individually and collectively. If someone is NOT a Christian, I would suggest they find a Bible believing, preaching church, buy a Bible, concordance, encyclopedia, and get into a submissive discipleship program immediately. Internet chat sites are not for discipleship, nor do they replace a fellowship of Believers. J |
