1 | Wisdom vs. knowledge | Prov 1:7 | eschaton | 40240 | ||
Straightforwardly put, knowledge is the psychological retention of information while wisdom is the moral and ethical impetus to put that information to practical and beneficial use. I'm not sure that provides a simple answer to your question, but you may find comfort in the semantics. |

2 | EXPLAIN: DIFFERENCE: "GOD" FATHER" | Bible general Archive 1 | eschaton | 40233 | ||
Well, that's actually a really good question. Unfortunately, I don't know if the answer will provide the closure you are looking for. The common way of thinking about this difference in nomenenclature seems to be that simply in the translation of the quotes, the true meaning may have been muddled. Although Jesus knows he is speaking to his father, he also respects his father by calling him the name referring to WHAT he is, not WHOM he is in the quote in question. I think the dilemma is a result of translation of the actual words rather than the meaning behind them. |

3 | Did God write the NT as well as the OT? | Bible general Archive 1 | eschaton | 40229 | ||
Well, your specific inquiries as to the linguistics of the Bible are certainly warranted. I suppose, however, that we must remember that both the NT and OT are THE word of God, albeit translated through the tongue of man in various times. We are lucky to have this much existing scripture considering how much impediment to dissemination of The Word we have had in the relatively brief history of human written communication. | ||||||
4 | Can satan read our mind. | Job 34:21 | eschaton | 40228 | ||
"Satan" is a fundamental if unfortunate fact of our existence, and the Bible warns us of this in Job and numerous other books. It just seems to be a necessary fact of our existence that Satan will play some part in our lives, and as Christains we may not be more succeptible to his temptations, but we will be more able to notice his interventions. As Christains this is both our burden and our strength, as the Lord gives us these powers of perception to help us better make informed moral choices in life, and to inform(not impose upon) others who are not as gifted(or burdened, if you are a pessimist) with the ability to notice Satan's frequent interventions. | ||||||
5 | who is babylon rev 18 | Revelation | eschaton | 18559 | ||
Well, the obvious answer due to geography and history is Iraq and Saddam Hussein, but after rereading Revelations I had the heart-stopping fear that those references might refer to New York or the United States! It is chilling, have a look. | ||||||
6 | Only 144,000 virgins in heaven? | Revelation | eschaton | 18558 | ||
I am not fit to comment on this subject, but Mormons also believe that only 1.44K are amongst the chosen (just like a floppy disk!) No matter what is written and interpreted by various people, I believe the righteous that follow God's path are ensured a place in Heaven based on numerous other passages and interpretations. Be at ease, my brother, and keep up the Good work. | ||||||
