Joe, I read your profile and I commend you for your good works. Please answer my previous question. What is the definition of a "bible bully"? Eagle One |

2 | bible bulluy | 1 Cor 12:1 | John Reformed | 36775 | ||
Dear Eagleone, I hope you don't mind my intrusion, but I would like to offer my definition for what it's worth. Bible Bully: one who uses the Bible to cower his opponents and intimidate them to surrender to his interpretation of any particular passage. A Bible Bully can be found in any church or on any forum in the world. He may be recognized by his somewhat pufffed up cranium; superior attitude; unloving and unlovely demeanor and his inability to hear what anyone else has said. The most amazing aspect of this hideous creature (I know this from personal experience) is that he can also be found in the mirror. God Bless Eagleone, John Adams |

Greetings John Adams, Your intrusion is welcomed, as is your insight regarding the question. After reading your post, I read your profile. I appreciate the information re. the Presbyterian stance. I admit to you that I did not know what it was. I (ashamedly) admit that I have always lumped the Presbyterian denomination into what many, including me, conservative Christians have unlovingly called, "Mainline Churches". I offer my profound, sincere apology for my spiritually arrogant stupidity. Thanks Brother. In Him, Eagle One |

Dear Eagleone, No need to apologize. At one time I thought all Presbyterians were the same (the frozen chosin). I think you'd like are pastor. He's a retired Army Colonel. A Vietnam vet who served with 101st airborne in Nam. I was a squid down in the Delta for the most part. Your Comrade in Arms in The King's Sevice, John |

Greetings once again Brother John, I'm happy to be talking to a "Brown Water Squid". You guys had some nasty duty. I once hitched a ride, and I was extremely uncomfortable (Terrified). I always felt better riding "above" the water as opposed to "on" the water. (Many of my passengers didn't feel that way). Please greet your pastor for me. I look forward to the day that we will greet one another in His presence. Brother John, let me ask you to take a look at "Net Bible". I'm finding some really fine studies at that site. In as much as I have a "loose" grip on Greek and Hebrew, I'm always on a "Recon" for good, solid stuff. When it's convenient for you, please take a look at www.bible.org/docs/ot/books/isa/55.htm by Greg Herrick, Ph.D. I've been through it once and thus far my spirit has not rebelled at anything. I look forward to further discussions with you. In Him, Eagle One |

Dear Eagle One, Thanks for putting me on too the Net Bible. I have been spending the past 2 hours familiarizing myself with it. I particularly like the footnotes and the outlines. As for the translation itself, in the brief time I've had to examine it, I see no glaring differences between it and my NKJV. However, the language itself is not as pleasing to me as the New King James. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but the majesty and beauty of God's Word is very important to me. For instance: (NET) Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He takes me to lush pastures, He leads me to refreshing water. He restores my strength. He leads me down the right paths for the sake of his reputation. Even when I must walk through a dark ravine, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff keep me calm. You prepare a feast before me in plain sight of my enemies. You refresh my head with oil; my cup is full of wine. Surely your goodness and faithfulness will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the Lord's palace for the rest of my life. (KJV) Psa 23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leads me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. I said my personal Bible is the NKJV, but I have used the KJV for Psa. 23. I consider the NKJV to be closer to the Original text, and thats the one I use for study. But, for sheer magnificence of Language give me the KJV. What say ye? Brother John PS you would have had no problem at all on my boat. It was the USS Monmouth County LST 1032, an old WWII amphib. We also had a great deal of respect for those "squids" in the Brown Water Navy. Our job was to keep them supplied. I read a book written by a christian brother, Dave Rievers (I'm not certain of the spelling of his name), that left me praising God for His mercy and providance towards me. One other thing: If you don't mind, I know your handle,but whats your first name? |

Dear Brother John, I don't mind telling you that my name is Tom. I live in Omaha, NE and have been here since 1968. My Wife and I are blessed in that we have 7 Grandchildren and they are all right here in Omaha. They all know the Lord as Savior except the three youngest: 3, 1, and 4 months. I too favor the NKJV since about 1981 or 1982. When I first began reading the bible in 1973 I bought a KJV with no notes, references, or anything. My joy then and now is to just read it and enjoy it. But for study purposes I begin with the NKJV and use all the references I have at hand. In addition I like to compare translations of verses being studied. At one time, I used the Amplified quite a bit. Sometimes the Amplified seems to just go on and on. I agree that the "Net" is a good easy to read translation, but it has no "rhythm". I love the poetic flow of the KJV. There is nothing more pleasurable then to just read it and let it flow through your spirit with no urgency re. meanings, references, etc. I made a mistake re. the article entitled, "Are You Thirsty? Then, Come: God's Gracious Covenant of Life in Isaiah 55". You'll find it at http://www.bible.org/docs/ot/books/isa/isa/55.htm When it's convenient, please take a look at it and tell me what you think. I haven't read Brother Dave Riever's book, but He spoke at our church years ago. I recall how he asked God to heal him over and over. But at that time he didn't know how God would use his injuries as a foundation for his ministry. My admiration for that Brother knows no bounds. Once again Brother, thanks for your response. I look forward to hearing from you. In Him, Eagle One |

Greetings to ArmyGrunt from another Army Grunt, I extend my respects to you for your service in Nam as a grunt. Although I know that Laos qualifies as "In Country" service, I missed the 24 hour brand of fear you faced. After 4 years as a state side grunt officer, I volunteered for duty as a pilot for the CIA's esteemed airline service at Long Tieng. The only contact I had with the real Army guys after that was occasional LRRP insertions in Laos. Even though it's been 34 years, I still regret not serving on the ground in NAM. To this day I do not know how I survived emotionally without knowing Jesus as my Lord and Savior. You might note that Brother John served as an LST guy supplying the Brown Water Squids. Hazardous duty to say the least. There's probably a bunch of us out there. This a bible study forum but it is always good to communicate with guys having like backgrounds. Good to hear from you. In Him, Eagle One |
