3 | FORUM MEMBERS: MESSAGE ABOUT POSTING | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 177400 | ||
Note to all Forum users - When you write a post, whether a question, answer or note, press the submit button ONLY ONCE. Otherwise you will create multiple entries of the same post. This is particularly confusing when you ask a question, because it usually results in more than one thread being created for the same question. This makes it difficult for even seasoned users to follow the sequence of answers and notes involving your question and well nigh impossible for newcomers to follow. So please remember, press the submit button only once and be patient while your submission is being processed. ...... PLEASE DON'T RESPOND TO THIS MESSAGE BUT LET IT STAND FOR A FEW DAYS IN ORDER TO GIVE ALL CURRENT USERS A CHANCE TO SEE IT. --Hank | ||||||
4 | Can Monkeys Write Psalm 23? | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 98484 | ||

9 | Miss JW, Who Is Jesus? | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 121455 | ||
MissJW [Jehovah's Witness]: What do you consider the proper translation of John 1:1? Who is Jesus -- is He God or a god? Do you confess to the full deity of Christ? Is He fully a member of the Trinity -- or do you deny the biblical doctrine of the Trinity? --Hank | ||||||
10 | Are Bible Translations Inspired? | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 134400 | ||

11 | Question for Glory Bound | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 134414 | ||
Glory Bound - In your user profile you state, "I would challenge all to test me." When I attempted to challenge you regarding the inspiration of Bible translations, you ducked the question with the excuse that you did not like the "tone" of my sincere and unadorned questions. Please, let's stop this petty bickering and get down to answering the question. ..... I quote verbatim from your User Profile, caps and all: "But if you do not use the KJ or NIV, which without a doubt ARE INSPIRED TRANSLATIONS, I would strongly suggest that first and foremost you pray and ask that the Holy Spirit lead you to the TRUTH of the WORD." GB, my concern centers around the accuracy of this statement, and thus all I'm asking of you is to provide this Forum with authoritative, unimpeachable and verifiable proof that these two versions of Scripture, the KJV and the NIV, are inspired translations. Please, will you do it? ... Please. --Hank | ||||||
12 | Will You Accept This Challenge? | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 150993 | ||
---PLEASE LET THIS POST HANG HERE WITHOUT RESPONSE SO THAT OTHERS MAY SEE IT AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE IT OFFERS.----First, go to http://www.bible-researcher.com/codex-b.html. Second, read the introductory material. Third, scroll down until you come to a sample of the text of the Codex itself. Fourth, translate the sample into modern clear English, complete with proper punctuation and capitalization. ..... It is rather short, involving only one complete verse of Scripture and fragments of two other verses. It should pose no problem at all to the denizens of the Forum who are experts in translating, punctuating, and capitalizing Scripture. ...... POSTSCRIPT: Did this exercise help anyone to acknowledge the enormous debt we owe to the hundreds of dedicated translators who have devoted their lives to the task of bringing us a translation of God's word into our own language that is as transparent of the original-language manuscripts as they can produce? ..... Did it illustrate the utter folly of hacks who, presuming to know more than seasoned scholars who have spent their lives pouring over the ancient manuscripts, have the audacity to challenge and even change the decisions of translation, punctuation and capitalization that whole teams of scholars have agreed upon? ........ Ladies and gentlemen, the sponsor of this Forum is the Lockman Foundation. Lockman's chief aim is not Forums but the translation and distribution of the Scriptures. One of their finest achievements is the NASB, than which no other major translation in English is more literally accurate. Lockman has a high view of Scripture and we owe them our thanks and appreciation, not only for for the work they have done and continue to do in translating the Scriptures, but in making this Study Bible Forum possible. One way each of us can show his thanks and appreciation to the fine folks at the Lockman Foundation is by honoring the guidelines set forth for one's personal conduct on their Forum. And by the way, the Lockman Foundation is a not-for-profit organization. Unlike so many publishers of religious materials, Lockman is not in this enterprise to make big bucks! Soli Deo gloria! --Hank | ||||||
13 | What do you think of new Holman Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | Hank | 2516 | ||
The "Holman Christian Standard Bible" is the newest translation to make the scene. Only the New Testament is available now; the Old Testament is scheduled for publication in 2004. If anyone has seen it, what are your thoughts? I have a copy and if anyone would like, I'll be happy to post what information I have on it. | ||||||
14 | Favorite Bible study tools? | Bible general Archive 1 | Hank | 3297 | ||
What are your favorite Bible study tools? Or do you not use any? I've found these useful:CONCORDANCES: Strong's (or Crudens) for KJV; NASB Exhaustive (NIV Exhaustive if you use NIV for study and reference)STUDY BIBLES: MacArthur (has NKJV text; Ryrie (available with NASB, KJV, or NIV text); NASB Study Bible (has NASB text with NIV Study Bible notes) published by Zondervan. COMMENTARIES: An excellent and inexpensive one-volume commentary of the entire Bible is "Believer's Bible Commentary" by William MacDonald, published by Thomas Nelson.BIBLE DICTIONARIES: These are so abundant they are weighed, not counted! But investigate before you buy. Some are quite liberal. I like Holman's for general use. It's conservative and has a generous splash of beautiful color photographs of Bible lands.HOW TO BOOKS: Kay Arthur's sound, practical, no-nonsense book, "How To Study Your Bible" can be helpful to just about anyone who wishes to "hide the word in his heart."

15 | Who draws us to God? | Bible general Archive 1 | Hank | 5204 | ||

16 | The baptizer also immersed? | Bible general Archive 1 | Hank | 5720 | ||
Steve Butler, your note has me as confused as a turkey in a hen house. I'm particularly perplexed by your statement, "Therefore, if going down into the water imples immersion, then we must conclude that Philip immersefd himself at the same time he immersed the eunuch." Really? Is that what you think happened? And just how did Philip manage to dunk himself while dunking the eunuch? I'd like to have seen that. It must have been quite a trick. Two people go down into the water, one to baptize the other, but both of them are necessarily immersed. Do I have it right? Have you ever witnessed baptism by immersion? Two people go down into the water, one to baptize the other. That is simple enough to figure out. How does one immerse the other without going into the water with him? And how does the baptizer immerse himself at the same time that he is immersing the person who is being baptized? Do we both understand immersion in the same way as the dictionary defines it, to plunge into something that covers up?......Last week my dentist and I went into a treatment room in his office. He filled two of my teeth. I didn't see him fill two of his teeth while he was filling mine. How was it possible for him to fill my teeth without filling his?.... Some years ago I went into an operating room in the hospital, my surgeon joined me in the same room, and he performed a medical operation on me. But so far as I know he didn't perform any such operation on himself. How was it possible for him to operate on me without operating on himself? Do you think your argument about immersion in water holds water? ....Moreover, in your note you equate Christian baptism with Jewish ceremonial washing. Therefore, should we conclude that apples are the same things as oranges? --Hank | ||||||

18 | Judgment of Infants? | Bible general Archive 1 | Hank | 6092 | ||
Elijah, for what sins are infants to be judged? Are the redeemed in Christ subject to the judgment by which the unredeemed will be judged? How could anyone be judged and sentenced twice? --Hank | ||||||

20 | Let's talk about prayer | Bible general Archive 1 | Hank | 9232 | ||
Dear Forum Friends, this entry on prayer is like a fork with many tines, and you are invited to pick your favorite "tine" and talk about it. The topic of prayer has been dealt with on the forum to a certain degree, but no exhaustive study has been made. Prayer is something that every Christian talks about but few do enough of. So let's study prayer....... What is it?........ Why do we pray? ..... How should we pray? ...... Does God hear our prayers?..... Does He respond to them? ...... What can prayer do? ...... Does prayer have any limitations? ..... How often should we pray?..... What does "pray without ceasing" mean? ..... Can a Christian be an effective witness without prayer? ..... Why is the phrase "Thy will be done" a necessary part of prayer? .....Must absolute faith accompany prayer (please discuss reasons for your answer) ...... What kinds of prayer are there (praise, intercession, etc.) and what is the reason for each kind? ...... Does the Bible command, condemn, or is it silent on the practice of praying for the dead? ..... How powerful is the power of prayer? .... What has been your experience with prayer -- have you had prayers answered, not answered, or put "on hold"? ..... How has prayer affected your life?..... Have you found it difficult to pray at times? ...... Have you ever felt that your prayers were just not getting through to God? .... Should prayers be more fervent and more frequent during times of crisis or despair? ...... What priority do you think the Bible places on prayer? ..... Did Jesus often put prayer on the "back burner" and focus his attention on other matters? ..... Is it wrong to pray for our personal career and financial success?..... Is it wrong to pray for something we want badly -- a new car or home, a better job, a husband or wife, children, etc.?..... Is prayer a vital part of your day, every day?..... I pray that these questions will act as a springboard to a thorough and Bible-based examination and study of the topic of prayer. --Hank | ||||||
