1 | greek word meaning bible? | Bible general Archive 3 | Aliennow | 159719 | ||
The Bible (from Greek) biblia, "(the) books", plural of biblion, "book", originally a diminutive of biblos, which in turn is derived from byblos, meaning "papyrus", from the ancient Phoenician city of Byblos which exported this writing material), is the classical name for the Hebrew Bible of Judaism or the combination of the Old Testament and New Testament of Christianity. It is thus applied to sacred scriptures. | ||||||

Job 6:23 "23 deliver me from the hand of the enemy, ransom me from the clutches of the ruthless'?" Satan tries to hold us for Ransom or as I define it a prisoner and Christ has paid the price for us already. |

3 | speaking in tongues | Bible general Archive 3 | Aliennow | 162540 | ||
Dear Kane, God certainly does give us spiritual gifts, but not all of us will be able to speak in tongues. If this gift is given to you, you will know. 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 "7Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines. Please read the rest of this chapter in Corinthians also. |

7 | source of historical context for Ps. 16 | Psalm | Aliennow | 160007 | ||
Dear Kari, The word Miktam in Psalm 16 probably refers to a musical term. I found the following article interesting about David and it may help answer some of your questions. His early occupation was that of tending his father's sheep on the uplands of Judah. From what we know of his later story, doubtless he frequently spent his time, when watching sheep, with his shepherd's musical instruments (flute and harp), while he drank in the many lessons taught him by the varied scenes spread around him. His first recorded exploits were his encounters with the wild beasts. He mentions that with his own unaided hand he slew a lion and also a bear, when they came out against his flock, beating them to death, in open conflict, with his club (1 Samuel 17:34,35). While David was thus engaged with his flocks, Samuel paid an unexpected visit to Bethlehem. There he offered up sacrifice, and called the elders of Israel and Jesse's family to the sacrificial meal. Among all who appeared before him he failed to discover the one he sought. David was sent for, and the prophet immediately recognized him as the chosen of God, chosen to succeed King Saul, who was now departing from the ways of God, on the throne of the kingdom. He accordingly poured on his head the anointing oil. David went back again to his shepherd life, but "the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward," and "the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul" (1 Sam. 16:13, 14). Not long after this David was sent for to soothe with his harp the troubled spirit of King Saul, who suffered from a strange melancholy dejection. He played his harp before the king so skillfully that Saul was greatly cheered, and began to entertain great affection for the young shepherd. After this he went home to Bethlehem. But he soon again came into prominence. The armies of the Philistines and of Israel were in battle array in the valley of Elah, some 16 miles south-west of Bethlehem; and David was sent by his father with provisions for his three brothers, who were then fighting on the side of the king. On his arrival in the camp of Israel, David, now a youth (1Sam17:42), was made aware of the state of matters when the champion of the Philistines, Goliath of Gath, came forth to defy Israel. David took only his sling, and with a well-trained aim threw a stone "out of the brook," which struck the giant's forehead, so that he fell senseless to the ground. David then ran to cut off Goliath's head with Goliath's own sword (1 Sam. 17). The result was a great victory for the Israelites, who pursued the Philistines to the gates of Gath and Ekron. However, 2 Samuel credits Elhanan with Goliath's death. See Goliath. David's popularity following this heroic exploit awakened Saul's jealousy (1 Sam. 18:6-16), which he showed in various ways. He conceived a bitter hatred toward him, and by various stratagems sought his death (1 Sam. 18:29). The deep-laid plots of the enraged king, who could not fail to observe that David "prospered exceedingly," all proved futile, and only endeared the young hero the more to the people, and very specially to Jonathan, Saul's son, who shared a deep, lifelong relationship with David that some scholars contend was romantic (see Jonathan and David). During the period of his persecution by Saul, David lived as an exile and accepted the city of Ziklag as a fief from the Philistine King Achish of Gath (1 Sam 27:2-6). Until Saul's death at Gilboa, David worked as a mercenary general for the Philistines, and may have adopted iron technology (as opposed to bronze) from them at this time. |

A definition of deity is all it is. I think once it is defined you can easily pick it out of the Apostles Creed. Aliennow |

I do beleive that Judas was a beleiver, but it is not up to me to judge if he was actually saved. I think maybe the term believer means different thongs to different people. | ||||||

14 | Was Judas Iscariot a believer? | Matt 5:13 | Aliennow | 160470 | ||
Kalos, I am still confused about Judas. I see now that according to John he was not a believer. John 6:63-64 ""'The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. Yet there are some of you who do not believe.' For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him." But if Christ already knew that Judas would betray him then Judas would not have had free will and therefore could not have avoided betraying Jesus. If I understand Matthew 27:3-4 "When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders. "I have sinned," he said, "for I have betrayed innocent blood." It seems to me by admitting his sin he did repent. Also if Judas was sent to hell for his betrayal, and it was necessary for the saving death of Christ, then why is Judas suffering for saving humanity. If he is in hell then it seems he would be suffering more for humanity. Thanks, Aliennow |

15 | Was Judas Iscariot a believer? | Matt 5:13 | Aliennow | 161165 | ||
But James is speaking to us after the New Covenant is in effect. In the Old Covenant sins were forgiven by other means. Do you think that God allowed Judas to sin as an example to us? I know well that God does not tempt us today or does not lead us to sin. Thanks, Aliennow |

16 | Was Judas Iscariot a believer? | Matt 5:13 | Aliennow | 161166 | ||
Thank you I can see that Judas did not repent to Christ, but that he still would have been under the old laws. Right? James speaks to us from the new law that if we repent and turn from that sin we are forgiven. I struggle with suicide being a sin. I can not find anywhere in the Bible that talks specifically about suicide. Is it because we murder and therefore are unable to repent that it is considered sin or something else? Thanks for helping me clarify a few things. God is truly speaking through you! Aliennow |

Wow thanks alot! You have explained this in a way I can truly understand. I also looked back at the order of events and Judas chose to betray Christ before Satan ever entered his body. God Bless You, Aliennow |
