1 | Bright morning star | Rev 22:16 | Natoochton | 156673 | ||
what does Christ's title of "Bright Morning Star" in Revelation 22:16 mean? | ||||||
2 | Faith Knowledge and Baptism | Rom 10:17 | Natoochton | 156429 | ||
I hope I'm not out of line with this question, so if you could cut me some slack, I'd appreciate it (hey I'm a college kid what can I say). Anyway, with that aside, I must inquire of you all about faith and knowledge, and of course the infant baptism that rests in between these two. Would any of you say that there is a distinct difference between that of knowledge and faith. Can we have one and yet not have the other, or not have a lot of the other for that part. As you can see I've been having some trouble with this, I've consulted Eph 2:8-10, and other books, but so far I have yielded an inconclusive answer. It all comes to this (well sort of). If you kind of understand what I'm saying here please reply. Thanks I really appreciate it, |

4 | Morning Star | Is 14:1 | Natoochton | 156337 | ||
Good evening, I've been having some trouble with Isaiah 14:12, though it has no relevance on my growing faith, I still pick at it with an uncontrolable diligence as i like to say, though you can call it an obsession. As you might already know it contains the story of the Morning Star, or Lucifer. But I have a couple questions and I'm sorry they seem to be obvious in answering. First of all, Lucifer is Latin for Morning Star (and I've only seen Lucifer in one translation, though I apoligeze that I do not remember of which it was), so what I don't understand ( keep in mind I know nothing of the translation of the Bible)is what is a latin word doing in the Old Testament, i.e. I understand that it was later translated from Hebrew to Latin (or was it?), but why is morning star a general term translated into Lucifer a name and not aexactly a general term. Also, who is this section referring to, it seems as if it is implicating the story of Satan in verses 12 through 14, but then it all changes and for the rest of the passage the Morning Star character takes on the traits of a mere man (if you read it maybe you'll agree with me, maybe not). Now I know this is irrelevant, but why do we refer to Satan as Lucifer if quite possibly this passage is speaking of an ancient Babylonian King (in my study bible). Also, as far as the Babylonian King goes, could this also be a symbol. I mean, in the book of Revelation it talks about Babylon the great in chapters 14, 16, 17 and 18. Now Babylon is often seen as the image of sin and evil in the world, indulging in her may bring about instant gratification but it will lead to death and destruction. Could this also be what Isaiah is speaking about. I don't know if I'm making any sense at all, so just answer if it's worth it. I know that it is very important not to try to disect every bit of these books, more specifically Revelation, and getting caught up in the symbolism. So I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thank you |

5 | Christian Polygamy? | Bible general Archive 2 | Natoochton | 156319 | ||
I was watching the 700 club (please stay with me here) the other week, and they were talking about the Homosexual marriage movement, they then ended this discussion by acknowledging the next big wave in the attack on marriage. The founders refer to themselves as Christian polygamists, they claim their movement is legitimate because and I quote, "Polygamy is in the Bible. Polygamy is found throughout history. These facts prove that marriage's definition includes plural marriage. Polygyny is a far older traditional marriage than anti-polygamy." Well first of all there's a spelling mistake, so right-a-way I wouldn't be giving them too much credibility. But also did our Father not create Adam and Eve first, I mean it is not as if God created Adam and then created Mary Susan Eve and Beth. My question is what other evidence does the Bible have against this movement usefull for that of rebuking, i.e. God never condones polygamy, neither does he ever say "every man should be with that of only one wife". Now he does say in 1st Timothy and Titus that elders and Pastors should only have one wife, but never as a general rule of thumb, applicable to everyone. What are your thoughts on this matter also here is the url of the polygamists, if you wish to use it; http://www.truthbearer.org |

6 | Temple building | 1 Kin 8:18 | Natoochton | 156308 | ||
Hello all, Never in the scriptures does God condone building a temple, he has them build the tabernacle, but never the temple. WHy is this? My first thought was that God wanted to set them apart, but I don't know. Is it similar to that of their desire to have a King, instead of the true King they already had? |
