1 | Do the italicized words clarify? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 4588 | ||
Hi Ray, OK. My thoughts on the capitalization issue you brought up?? I don’t know, never really thought about it, but I can certainly see how a word capitalized or not capitalized can make us look at scripture in a different light (example Gen. 18:3 we talked about). If breath of life/Life in these verses mean breath of God, then it would certainly be capitalized. If it means physical life, it would not be capitalized. Yea, I know you already knew that! Since I’m not answering your question and only bringing up more questions, here’s some more food for thought. This is along the same lines of capitalization. This is about the liberal use of italicized words in certain places in the NASB, KJV, and NKJV. Here is what I would like for you to do. Read John 8:24, 8:28, 13:19, 18:5-8. Now read Exodus 3:13-14. Now go back and read the verses in John again, but this time don’t read the italicized words. Now answer this question. Do the italicized words clarify who Jesus is, or do they it take away from what Jesus was actually saying? So, good luck in your pursuit of correcting the capitalization errors. I think I might start scratching out a fee italicized words myself! God Bless!! |

2 | Tithes and offerings designation | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 7516 | ||
Does the Bible address the issue of how our tithes and offerings are to be used once they are given? Do we have the right to designate how a particular offering should be used or do we release all rights to the spritual authorities in our church to designate as they see fit? | ||||||
3 | What do you think? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 12208 | ||
Hi Tim, Let me give you an issue 3, if I may. We had a situation in my fellowship where a young man started a home bible study on a Tuesday night. We have mens prayer on the same night. He had been a part of our men’s prayer group before he started the bible study. He started this bible study on his on without the pastors blessing. I feel, as the pastor did also, that this young man is an anointed teacher/preacher. The pastor didn’t say anything to this young man so maybe it was OK with him. I never brought it up, but I always felt it would have been better if he had done this under the pastor’s authority since there was the mens prayer conflict. What do you think? Thanks, retxar |

4 | Study Bible Doctrine | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 22613 | ||
Greetings Kalos! I have a Ryrie SB (77 NASB). I agree the Ryrie is an excellent study bible. I have a Scofield (KJV) and like very much also. I know both come from a reform prespective on scripture, all tho probally not as strong as the McAthur Study Bible (from what I have looked at anyway as I don't have a McSB). I have a Nelson Study Bible and I would say it was neutral on most reform/free-will scripture. I am not familiar with the Zondervan NASB Study Bible. My question is, how does it compare to the other Study Bibles I have mentioned here, as far as interpretation of reform/free-will scripture. Also, how does it address modern day spritural gifts when compared to the others. Thanks bro!, retxar |

5 | Audio Bible | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 29501 | ||
For info only, not an advertisement! Has anyone checked out the audio bible in mp3 format from audiotreasure.com? You can download the KJV NT or the WEB NT and 17 books of the OT for free. You can save a lot of download time by ordering the CDs for only about 6 or 7 bucks each. The files or MP3 format, which means they will only play on a computer or a special CD player that can read MP3s. What’s neat is that the whole bible will fit on 1 CD, unlike the many, many CDs in a normal audio bible. They won’t play on a regular CD player, but I play most of my CDs in my computer anyway, so that is no problem. I posting this because I thought it was a ministry that promotes knowledge of the Word and the forum might be interested in. I hope I am not breaking any rules. thanks, retxar |

6 | Does God help those that help themselves | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 67551 | ||
Is there anything in the bible that supports the statement I had heard many times: "God helps those that help themselves"? This may have been asked before, but I could find it. thanks, retxar |

7 | His star in the East | NT general Archive 1 | retxar | 27673 | ||
Hi Tim, I don’t remember when or where, but I heard a story once that the bright star the wise men may have saw was in a constellation called “The Virgin”. Supposedly the bright star did not appeared over Bethlehem, but appeared where her abdomen would have been. Being astronomers, they interpreted this as news that the Christ Child was born. This was supposedly verified thru astronomy. Have you, or anyone else ever heard of such a story, or did I dream it? Thanks, retxar |

8 | What is the proper NT church model? | NT general Archive 1 | retxar | 45616 | ||
There are 3 basic forms of church government that we see in churches today; congregational governed typical in Baptist and Pentecostal churches, church hierarchy (Bishop/Pastor) governed typical in Episcopalian and Calvary Chapel churches, and elder governed typical in Presbyterian and Reformed churches. I know of no clear cut New Testament command for God’s exact church government preference, but which form of church government is best supported by New Testament witness and example? Please back up your answers scripturally. Thanks! retxar |

9 | Local churchs appoint their own elders? | NT general Archive 1 | retxar | 45631 | ||
Thanks Steve, You said in reason #2 that the local churches did not appoint their own elders. I agree. Do you think that should be the model for today's church also? Most local churches today do appoint their own elders. retxar |

10 | What is the proper NT church government? | NT general Archive 1 | retxar | 46359 | ||
Thanks Mommapbs As I got responses for scriptural support for an Elder governed church, this is a follow up question asking for anyone that may have a scriptural basis for a Pastor or Congregation governed church, or for anything else concerning a proper NT church government structure. Thanks! retxar |

11 | NT support for dp | Lev 26:6 | retxar | 16075 | ||
To be honest, I am not sure of my posistion on the death penality, but does Rom 13:4 offer NT support for it? In Christ Jesus, retxar |

12 | "the Ethiopian woman Moses married?" | Num 12:1 | retxar | 3812 | ||
I agree, Zipporah was definitely Moses's wife, I'm just not sure if "the Ethiopian woman whom he had married" here is her. If this is speaking of Zipporah, why does it say "Ethiopian woman" because Zipporah was from Midian? Like I said before, maybe she was adopted, or perhaps Jethro, her father, was a Ethopian who now lived in Midian and was also priest of Midian? Maybe someone out there can shead some light on this? Like you said though, that's not really the point, God's reaction to Aaron and Miriam's sinful intentions should be something we take note of today. Jesus Lives! |

14 | Luke 10:18 before or after Gen 1:1 ? | Is 14:12 | retxar | 58643 | ||
Ron, I will study further, but with a quick read thru in CONTEXT, you seem to be very right! Thank you! OK, here’s a follow up question. Did what Jesus said He saw in Luke 10:18 occur before or after Gen 1:1 ? Thanks! retxar |

Who was Darius the Mede? Did he co-rule in equal power with Cyrus the Persian in the Medes and Persians empire that ruled the world after the Babylon empire, or was he an appointed ruler by Cyrus the Persian to rule over Babylon? retxar |

16 | Tithes into the storehouse | Mal 3:10 | retxar | 21867 | ||
Mal 3:10 says to bring the whole tithe into the storehouse. Does "the storehouse" mean one's own fellowship? Would money given to ministries outside your local fellowship count as part of your tithe? Paul told us to give regularly and proportionately (1Co_16:1-2). If I have chosen to give 10 percent regularly and proportionately would money I give outside my fellowship be considered part of that 10 percent? Thanks, retxar |

17 | 2 witness resurrection and pre-wrath | Matthew | retxar | 56173 | ||
Kalos, Does the pre-wrath position teach that the rapture of the church and the resurrection of the 2 witnesses (Rev 11:12) occur at the same time? This event also occurs after the sixth trumpet (Rev 9:13) and before the seventh trumpet (Rev 11:15). thanx, retxar |

||||||
19 | Who was Simon Zelotes the Apostle? | Matt 13:55 | retxar | 56716 | ||
Thanks Searcher, Would this rule out Simon the Zealot and Jesus's brother, also named Simon, being the same person tho? retxar |
