Hi rajesh005. Thank you for your question. The answer is given in the verse of Scripture below. Mar 6:3 "Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?" So they were offended at Him. Every blessing. parpar. |

3 | fate of Barabbas | NT general | parpar | 200907 | ||
Hi NIGHTMAN. I agree with what others have said in reply to your question, what follows is incidental, but might be of interest to you. NKJV - Mat 27:16 - And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. Footnote: NU-Text reads Jesus Barabbas. Barabbas is an Aramaic expression which means, "We do not know his family name, so we describe him as, son of his father", this word is made up of, "Bar", which means, "son of", and, "abba", which means father. Therefore Pilate had before him two men, one, Jesus the Christ, who had said to the Jews, "you do not know my Father", and the other, a notorious criminal, only known as, Jesus son of his father. Jhn 8:19 Then they said to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also." Amazing don't you think parpar. |

5 | when the sons of God lived with ... | Gen 6:4 | parpar | 200607 | ||
Hi rev eugene k mensah. Allow me to give you my understanding of, "sons of God", and, "the Nephilim". I am of the opinion that the, "angels who sinned", referred to below at, 2Pe 2:4, are in fact, "the sons of God", mentioned at Gen 6:2.. My reason for believing that the, "sons of God", are angels is as a result of what is said at Job 1:6-7. 2Pe 2:4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; 2Pe 2:5 and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; Gen 6:2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan[fn2] also came among them. Job 1:7 And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" So Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it." Now regarding the Nephilim. About some 300 years BC, a translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek known as the, "Septuagint", was commenced, and when the translators looked for a suitable Greek word for Nephilim, they used, "Titan", which means giant, and from which we get the English word, "Titanic". The following is an extract from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_(mythology) "The twelve first-generation Titans were ruled by the youngest, Cronus, who overthrew their father, Uranus ('Sky'), at the urgings of their mother, Gaia ('Earth')." In other words in Greek mythology, the Titans were the product of sex between supposed male, and female gods. For what it is worth, I am well aware that what I have said above is pure speculation on my part, and is in no way to be taken as foundational Christian doctrine, however, I put it forward for your information, and comment. Every blessing. parpar. |

6 | the name of G-d? | Judg 11:39 | parpar | 200605 | ||
Hi halroy. Thank you for your post, Unfortunatly I sent my note to, "militaryguy", by mistake, below is what was intended for you to read, sorry for my error. I refer to your post, in which you said, "So...if I understand correctly...when I spell God with an 'o'...I am profaning His name? I guess when I actually say it, I am...what? blaspheming? Actually, the way I always understood it, the tetragrammaton of the Jewish scriptures was God's name, which the Jews were very careful with, to the point that we don't really know how the name was pronounced...thus we have Jehovah and Yahweh." And also you said, "So...studybibleforum experts, what name are we to use for God, and are there any we should forbear using?" Although not strictly speaking an answer to your questions, it occurred to me that what follows might just be of interest to you, Jehovah is a nonexistent word, made up of the consonants of one word, and the vowel signs of another word. It is arrived at as follows. At Ex Ch 3 v 14 The Lord our God revealed His most Holy name to Moses, it is the name that is translated in English as "LORD" or "I AM". This name was considered by the Jews to be so Holy that whenever scripture was read aloud in public, it must not be pronounced, but another word was to be used in its place, this word was another title for God namely Adonai meaning Lord. Vowel signs were placed over the Hebrew letters to help pronunciation. what happened was that the vowel signs for YHWH were replaced with the vowel signs for Adonai indicating to the reader that Adonai was to be pronounced in place of YHWH. in medieval times an attempt was made to pronounce the Divine name using the consonants of one word, and the vowel signs of another word, thereby producing a nonexistent meaningless word. The name by which God revealed Himself to Moses at Ex 3:14, means "I have been what I have been, I AM that (or what) I AM, I will be what I will be". This name was also understood by the Jews to mean "The perpetually self reveling all existent one". As far as I am aware Christians are not required to attempt to pronounce the Divine name as revealed to Moses, but to address God as, "Our Father". Further more, Jesus said, Jhn 14:13 "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Jhn 14:14 "If you ask[fn3] anything in My name, I will do it. Footnote: 14:14 NU-Text adds Me. Every blessing. parpar. |

7 | What did Yeshua notice? | John 1:49 | parpar | 200499 | ||
Hi bigpooch. Thank you for your question. Firstly verse 49, must be considered within the context of verses 45-51, as below. Jhn 1:45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." Jhn 1:46 And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." Jhn 1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!" Jhn 1:48 Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." Jhn 1:49 Nathanael answered and said to Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!" Jhn 1:50 Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these." Jhn 1:51 And He said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter[fn9] you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man." This is the only time that Yeshua ever referred to anyone as an, "Israelite", or used the word, "deceit", translated, "guile", in the King James Bible. The expression, "under the fig tree", is an Hebraic euphemism for, "out door Bible study", or "out door teaching", as the fig tree has the largest leaves of any tree in that part of the world, and, therefore, under it's leaves was the best place to be for contemplation/meditation of Scripture, if you wished to do so out doors, and at the same time be protected from the sun which can be very hot at certain times of the day in Israel. It is clear that this is where Nathanael was at the time when Philip called him, and that he had been thinking about Jacob who's name means, deceitful 4, deceitfully 3, deceit 2, slothful 2, false 1, guile 1, idle 1, slack 1, but as we know this man had his name changed, see. Gen 32:28 And He said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel;[fn2] for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed." Footnote: 32:28 Literally Prince with God Nathanael was undoubtedly impressed by Yeshua's words, when He said, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!", he would no doubt ask himself, "does this man really know that when Philip called me, I was thinking about Jacob?", and, therefore, he asks, "How do You know me?", to which Yeshua replies, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." Is it any wonder that Nathanael then said, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!" Our Lords words in verses 50 - 51, are in fact saying, "Not only do I know that you were thinking about Jacob, but I actually know exactly which passage of Scripture it was you had in mind.. The passage of Scripture we now know as Genesis Ch 28. Every blessing. parpar. |

8 | Which is the middle chapter of Bible? | Ps 118:8 | parpar | 200262 | ||
Hello rajesh005, As Steve has said, this is the center verse of the Bible. Now let me explain just how this is arrived at. A man said to his friend, "I want to be in the center of the will of God, but I don't know what to do?", his friend replied, "Perhaps advice on what to do could be found in the center of the Bible", "But how can one locate that", the first man replied, Well said his friend, "The Psalm's are around about the middle, could it be I wonder in between the shortest, 117, and the longest, 119?". It was decided to consider each Psalm as a Chapter, and to count how many Chapters there were from Genesis Ch1, up to and including Psalm 117, and then how many Chapters from and including Psalm 119, to the end of Revelation. The number in both cases turned out to be 594, confirming that Psalm 118, was indeed in the center, but what verse was in the center?. Then they added together 594 to 594, and got 1188. This they concluded was drawing their attention to verse 8 of Psalm 118, which reads. NASB - Psa 118:8 - It is better to take refuge in the LORD Than to trust in man. Not only did this man find the center verse of Scripture, but when he read it he also found the answer to his question, "I want to be in the center of the will of God, but I don't know what to do?". parpar. |

9 | (MATTHEW 8:19-22) ??????? | Matt 8:19 | parpar | 200221 | ||
Hi rajesh005. Thank you for your question. The answers are different, because the first one said, "I will follow You wherever You go", and it was made clear to him that it would not be easy, whereas the second one said, "let me first go and bury my father", and Jesus made it clear to him that nothing must stand in the way of being a follower of Christ, in other words, Jesus must come first at all times, and in all circumstances, You cannot say, "yes, but let me do this first", it is always, "now, or not at all". Every blessing. parpar. |

11 | Does Jesus say he is God Almighty here.. | Rev 1:8 | parpar | 200098 | ||
Subject: Subject: Jesus is God. There follows a series of posts I sent to someone who had problems with the Deity of Christ. Subject: Jesus is God. Jesus is God, but He is also man at the same time. Have a look at Isaiah Ch 48 vs 12-16, but don't read the whole of v 16, just yet, read only, "Draw near to me, hear this: from the beginning I have not spoken in secret, from the time it came to be I have been there" (ESV). Now ask yourself, Who is speaking?, the answer can only be, the Lord our GOD, now read the rest of v 16, "And now the Lord GOD has sent me, and his Spirit.". It is clear then that the one speaking in the first part of this verse must be our Lord Jesus, and none other.. An expanded version follows. Have a look at the verses of Scripture bellow from which I have removed the last line of verse 16, and tell me who is speaking? ..The answer can only be, non other that the Lord God Almighty Himself, our Father. Isa 48:12 "Listen to Me, O Jacob, And Israel, My called: I am He, I am the First, I am also the Last. Isa 48:13 Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, And My right hand has stretched out the heavens; When I call to them, They stand up together. Isa 48:14 "All of you, assemble yourselves, and hear! Who among them has declared these things? The LORD loves him; He shall do His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm shall be against the Chaldeans. Isa 48:15 I, even I, have spoken; Yes, I have called him, I have brought him, and his way will prosper. Isa 48:16 "Come near to Me, hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; From the time that it was, I was there. (NKJV). Now read the last line of verse 16, and tell me who was speaking. "And now the Lord GOD and His Spirit Have[fn1] sent Me." Footnotes: 48:16 The Hebrew verb is singular. Verse 16, could be rendered as, "And now the Father and His Spirit Have[fn1] sent Me." Could this verse I wonder be what Jesus had in mind when He said. Jhn 20:21 So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." Jhn 20:22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. What do you think?. Read Matthew Ch 28 v 19, "in the name" not "names", one name, three persons. Now try Colossians Ch 2 v 9, "For in him the whole fullness of Deity dwells bodily" (ESV). That is to say, all there is of the Father, all there is of the Son, and all there is of the Holy Spirit dwelling inside the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. As I have said before, and will no doubt say again, don't try to understand it, just believe it, God has given you the faith to believe, so use it. The human mind is totally incapable of comprehending the Trinity, or the Deity of Jesus, so don't try. Remember "Without faith, it is impossible to please God". Better rendered as "Without exercising faith". All Scripture verses quoted are from the English Standard Version, unless otherwise stated. At John Ch 14 v 9, Jesus said "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. John Ch 1 v 18 , reads "No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known". or "the only one, who is God"; some manuscripts "the only Son". Note, the Translator's preference is all ways shown in the main text, with possible alternative renderings relegated to footnotes as above. parpar |

12 | How do I obtain what I'm asking for? | 2 Tim 2:15 | parpar | 200093 | ||
Subject: "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples." Luk 11:1 NOW it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples." Prayer is very important, and for this reason, we all need to, "be taught how to pray", I much regret that instruction on this vitally important subject is sadly neglected in much of todays church. In fact I have only ever once heard one message on this subject in all the many years that I have been a Christian. For this reason therefore, I would like to share with you what I have learnt so far on this vital topic. Anyone can quote. Mat 7:7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Mat 7:8 "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. And think that by so doing they have stated all that needs to be said on this subject. But what about the person who also reads. Mar 11:24 "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. And then asks, what does this verse mean? how can I make myself believe?, and then goes to read. 1Jo 5:14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 1Jo 5:15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. And has the additional problem of, how can I possibly know in advance that what I am about to pray for is in fact in accordance with the will of God? Well perhaps some help in solving this dilemma is to be found in. Mat 6:8 "Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. Could this verse I wonder, indicate that God who knows before you ask, that what you are about to request, is in accordance with His will, and because of this, He puts the, "belief", into your heart (gives you the assurance) before you start to pray, that your request will be granted? Before closing, I feel it is important to pay attention also to the Scripture verses bellow. Mat 6:5 "And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. Mat 6:6 "But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.[fn2] Mat 6:7 "And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. I do trust the above is of help. parpar |

13 | Hebrews 6:4-6 | John 6:1 | parpar | 200068 | ||
You become a partaker of the Holy Spirit when you do what is described in the following verses, especially v13. Eph 1:11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, Eph 1:12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. Eph 1:13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, Eph 1:14 who[fn2] is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. My understanding of Heb 6:4-6, below, is taken from another web site where questions were being asked on the subject of, "eternal security". Please allow me to add something that often comes up whenever, "O S A S", is under discussion, and that is a reference to Heb 6:4-6, which some interpret as indicating that salvation can be lost. This of course is not so, because if it were so it would make all the verses that have been quoted untrue, and this cannot be the case, as the Word of God does not disagree with itself, and what's more cannot be made to do so. First read verse 9 before you read vs 4-6, and you will see that the writer is quite sure that what is referred to in vs 4-6 has not happened, but there is a fear that it might happen. As the title of this letter indicates, this group of believers were all Jews who had accepted that Jesus was the Messiah, and were as a result being so severely persecuted by the majority of Jews who did not accept Jesus, that they were giving serious consideration to returning back to established Judaism, until such times as opposition had died down, and then return back again to believing in Jesus as before. The writer is stating at vs 4-6, that this course of action is an impossibility,,, and that is all that is being said here. Bless you. parpar |

The expression, "born again", has been dealt with at some length on this web site, and therefore, I will not comment on that subject, other than to say it has nothing to do with, "reincarnation", which is dealt with at. Hbr 9:27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, The Lord bless you. parpar |
