2 | Grace vs Works? | James 1:22 | Morant61 | 242534 | ||
Greetings Rikbrooks! Welcome back brother! The short answer to your question is that a transformed life is evidence of salvation. You are correct! No one is saved by being good enough, or by working hard enough. However, Eph. 2:10 also points out that we are saved for good works. That is the distinction that James is making in his letter. Groups were claiming to have faith, but there was no evidence of that faith in the way that they were living their lives. James said: Jas 2:18 But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. As we used to say, the proof is in the pudding! I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

3 | More experienced translators needed... | 2 Pet 3:10 | Morant61 | 242518 | ||
Greetings Vamite! I saw your question. This certainly is a challenging verse on many levels. As to your translation, I would stick with the traditional translation for the following reasons: 1) In what sense would the heavens 'come near' or 'pass by'? They are already present. 2) The context of the passage seems to favor the traditional translation of 'pass away', for the following reasons: a) Verse 10 states that the elements will be destroyed by fire. b) Verse 11 mentions everything being destroyed. c) Verse 12 states that everything will be destroyed by fire and the elements dissolved with fervent heat. So, the tradition sense of 'destroyed' seems to fit the context. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

5 | What does John 15:7 mean? | John 15:7 | Morant61 | 240871 | ||
Greetings Dee! I am truly sorry about your loss! I too lost a child many years ago, even though my wife and I prayed for his healing. In response to your question, I would make a couple of points. 1) Context: This specific promise is made to the disciples. I am not sure that it can be expanded to include every believer. However, there is a similar promise in 1 John 5:14-15: "And this is the confidence that we have before him: that whenever we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. (15) And if we know that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, then we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him." Here we are given a similar promise that applies to all Christians. However, it is made clear that our requests must be in accordance with His will. Even Jesus, when praying in the garden, prayed a prayer that was not answered because it wasn't God's will for Him to be delivered from the cross. Sometimes, God's will for our loved ones is different than our will. 2) Faith: One of the keys things that we learn as we mature as Christians is that we can trust God to do the right thing. I don't know why our children were not healed, but I know God and trust Him. I hope this helps! You and your family are in our prayers! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

15 | Thank you, now in modern day how is it t | Genesis | Morant61 | 238843 | ||
Greetings Aworth35! Welcome to the study forum! I think part of the problem with this thread is the wording of the question. You originally asked when Adam 'acquired' a soul, but Scripture never says that Adam acquired a soul. It says he became a living soul. Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (KJV) So, man doesn't have a soul. He is a soul. Further, there was never a time when Adam wasn't a living soul, because he became a living soul at the moment of creation. When I was in theology class, our professor taught that human beings are created with a spiritual component and a physical component. It is this combination that makes us living souls. This combination is also our intended state of existence since at the resurrection the dead will have their physical and spiritual components reunited again. Scripture never gives us a complete definition of what soul means, but the word itself is used in a variety of ways. It sometimes seems to refer to the more spiritual side of our nature. At other times, it seems to be used to refer to the totality of our physical nature. Either way, Adam was never any different than any of us in regards to a soul. He was always a living soul, and so are we. I hope this helps! For a nice article, look up 'got questions soul' on Google. Thanks! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

16 | Creation- it was good vs. it was so. | Genesis | Morant61 | 238459 | ||
Greetings! I will try to answer your questions! :-) 1) Were Adam and Eve good? I believe that Gen. 1:31 applies to everything mentioned as being created in Genesis 1 since the verses says, "God saw ALL that He had made, and it was very good...". This would explain the stylistic change in the statement. 2) According to the commentary by Keil and Delitzsch, the separation of the waters on day 2 is not completed until day 3, which is way the statement, "And, God saw that it was good" is not found until Gen. 1:10. This phrase covers the events of the 2nd day, and part of the events of the 3rd day. The remainder of the events of the 3rd day are called good in Gen. 1:12. Man was created innocent, not perfect. As you mentioned, Adam and Eve had the ability to disobey God's commands, which they did. But, they were not created sinners. They were created good. 3) While it is true that Gen. 3 does not use the word 'sin' to describe that Eve did, her actions definitely fit the definition of sin as a transgression of God's law. In fact, Rom. 5:14 and 1 Tim. 2:14 both use the word sin to describe the actions of Adam and Eve in the garden. So, sin was a possibility for Adam and Eve, but did not become a reality for them until they choose to disobey God's command. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran 3) |

17 | What source is it | Exodus | Morant61 | 238373 | ||
Greetings Alex! Sorry that I was not able to respond to your question sooner. My son just got married and I have been swamped. I saw Doc's response to you and would certainly concur with him. According to the four source documentary theory, the Pentateuch is the work of a least four different authors, writing at four different times. This theory is very popular among those who hold a very low view of Scripture and is based almost entirely on supposed differences of vocabulary and point of view. For instance, supposedly the author of J uses the term Yaweh, while the author of E uses the term Elohim. Why exactly couldn't the same author use both? Personally, I put no stock into this theory at all. Have a great day! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

18 | can this conclusion be found in scriptur | Gen 4:7 | Morant61 | 237932 | ||
Greetings! I'm sorry! I thought you were talking about the conclusion of Gen. 4:7. I looked back on the thread and saw that you were referring to what Doc had said! Doc's statement is never directly stated in Scripture but it it the only possible logical conclusion. Only two people were created according to Scripture. Therefore, their sons must have married sisters or nieces. Later, it could have been cousins! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

20 | Understanding the Greek word Porneia | Matt 5:32 | Morant61 | 237902 | ||
Greetings Ed! I have been working a lot lately, so I haven't had a chance to respond to your post. First of all, whose write up is this? It would be helpful to know who wrote this. Secondly, I would disagree with the writer for several reasons. 1) This is an overly restrictive definition of porneia. The word, while it can refer to incest, usually refers to sexual immorality in general. 2) The context of Matthew 19 makes it clear that His disciples understood Jesus to be speaking of marriage in general, not just illegal marriages since they retort, 'it is better not to marry' v. 10. The traditional understanding seems to fit the context much better. Marriage was intended to be forever, but because of sin, circumstances arise that can and do break that union. In fact, the divorce decree was actually meant to protect the woman and her reputation in cases where the husband had decided to divorce without moral grounds. It was God's way of letting the world know that the wife was without fault in the matter and should not be considered an adulteress if she remarried. And excellent resource on this topic is a couple of books by Spiros Zodhiates on divorce and remarriage. He brings out some great details on these passages. Your Brother n Christ, Tim Moran |
