1 | Would Jesus follow this scripture? | Bible general Archive 4 | Morant61 | 197183 | ||
Greetings JulieOwl! First of all, welcome to the forum. Secondly, we have to be careful to actually follow the context of a Bible passage when we study it. Look at Gen. 9:6 in context. Gen. 9:1 - "Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, ‘‘Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 2 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. 3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything. 4 ‘‘But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it. 5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man. 6 ‘‘Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man." God isn't simply speaking about angry thoughts in this passage. He quite clear states that He will demand an accounting for the life of man. Whoever sheds a man's blood will have his blood shed as well. There is nothing in Gen. 9 about our thoughts. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Idiom? | Bible general Archive 4 | Morant61 | 205611 | ||
Greetings Jim! Where exactly though does Scripture say 3 days and 3 nights equals 72 hours? :-) The point that others have been trying to make is that the Jews of that day counted days differently than we do. Our days start at 12:01 a.m. Their days started at about 4 or 5 p.m. It is not turning the phrase into an idiom to simply use their way of reckoning time. By the way, the 'private interpretation' of 2 Peter 1:20 refer to the origins of Scripture, not to interpreting Scripture. I see people use this verse in this way many times, but it is a misapplication. Peter is speaking of how Scripture came into being, not how it is understood. I have heard some interesting theories that Jesus might have been buried on Thursday instead of Friday, but the argument goes on and on. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Jim! My point on the 3 days and 3 nights was would 71 1/2 hours count, or did it have to be 72 hours? :-) Especially, if a certain culture does not reckon time quite the same way that we do, would a full 24 hours for each day be required? Or, are we forcing our culture upon a text? As far as the day is concerned, I would have no problem with Thursday or Wednesday, if the evidence supports it. As far as 2 Pet. 1:20 is concerned, I have seen many people misunderstand the phrase 'private interpretation'. Peter is not saying that private individuals cannot interpret Scripture. He is saying that Scripture did not originate from a private interpretation. It had its source as the Holy Spirit moved on men and inspired what they wrote. Therefore, the Holy Spirit is the source of Scripture, not a private interpretation. Certainly, I would agree with you that 'scripture interprets scripture', but that is not the context or the point of 2 Peter 1:20. I hope I was clear, it is very late. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6 | Debating on the word with atheist | Bible general Archive 4 | Morant61 | 208322 | ||
Greetings Sapian59! I see that Steve has already referred you to a good resource site. May I add a few tips for you? 1) In the end, debate will not accomplish much. Your best bet is to share the Gospel, especially in the form of your personal testimony, with them and allow the Holy Spirit to draw them. 2) However, God may use the debate to open their eyes. With that in mind, make sure you define your terms right off of the bat. For instance, are we talking about the original autographs or copies of the manuscripts? Certainly, errors have crept into the copies over the years (less so than one would expect under natural circumstances). What is a contradiction? This seems self evident, but many people will try to call something that is not a contradiction, a contradiction. For instance, Person 1 says that A, C, and D happened. Person 2 says that B, C, and D happened. While Person 3 says that A and E happened. These are not contradictory statements, they are complimentary statements. A contradiction only occurs when one says A happened and another says that A did not happen. 3) Above all, pray, pray, and then pray some more! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

7 | how can we minister to homosexuals | Bible general Archive 4 | Morant61 | 209507 | ||
Greetings Doc! You wrote: "The only hope for anyone is through redemption in Jesus Christ. Those who willfully practice sin can be wonderfully and marvelously saved... and when they are saved, the willful practice of these kinds of sins will disappear. They will no longer be the "them" of 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, but they will become the "you" of verse 11." Are you saying that it is possible for a Christian not to sin? If so, you are agreeing with what I previously said about Romans 6. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

10 | SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH | Bible general Archive 4 | Morant61 | 210914 | ||

11 | continued pursuit, or saving faith | Bible general Archive 4 | Morant61 | 213736 | ||
Greetings Beja! Boy, I tried to do a quick translation of Heb. 11:6 and I had to slow down a bit. :) Literally, Heb. 11:6 reads: "apart from faith unable to please, to believe for must he who comes to God that He is and those who seek Him the rewarder He is" It is interesting to note that v. 6 is a continuation of v. 5 and does not begin a new sentence. So, one could smooth verse 6 out thus, "for it is impossible to please (God) apart from faith, for he who comes to Him must believe that He is and that He is the rewarder of those who seek Him." What you said about this verse was right on target. 'he who comes' is in the accusative case because it is the subject of an infinitive. The verb is also deponent, which simply means that it is middle or passive in form, but active in meaning. I don't have time right now to throw in about your original question, but I welcome you to the forum. Your post have been of a very high, and welcome, quality. CDBJ has been a long time, quality contributor. So, I look forward to reading your exchanges on this question. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Fcs375! I am sorry that I haven't had a chance to respond to your posts as of yet. I pray that you would reconsider your decision. You made some excellent points and I think you would be a great addition to this site. I fully agree with you that we should go to Scripture first, and only then, should we go to what others have written about Scripture. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Doc! As I read through this thread, I never once saw fcs375 say that anyone should ignore secondary sources. He simply said that one should go to Scripture first, and then consult commentators and other sources. That is sound advice. Some of the responses to his or her posts seemed to be responses to something that he or she never actually said. At any rate, I would hate to see a new poster forced away from the forum simply because he or she said that one should read Scripture first. :-) So, I hope fcs375 will reconsider. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

14 | Divine intervention? | Bible general Archive 4 | Morant61 | 214757 | ||
Greetings Vintage68! I don't believe that one can make the case that Christian stewardship only refers to spiritual things. The illustration of the steward in Luke 16 is directly applied to one's relationship to earthly wealth. Luke 16:13 says, " ‘‘No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.” " Further, Luke 16:11 specifically advises us to be "...trustworthy in handling worldly wealth." As His servants, everything we have is His and has been entrusted into our care. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

15 | Divine intervention? | Bible general Archive 4 | Morant61 | 214831 | ||
Greetings Vintage68! Please, just call me 'Tim'! :-) Sorry for the delay in responding, but like many, I have a very full schedule. You make many points. I may not be able to address them all, but I should be able to touch on several. 1) You wrote: "In the New Testament there is only (one) time where this same definition can be used. Every other place it is only used in relation to the person dealing with the spiritual things of God." This is not factually accurate. The word 'steward' occurs 10 times in the New Testament. In six of it's occurrences, it has the same meaning as in the OT: Luke 12:42, 16:1, 3, 8, Rom. 16:23, and Gal. 4:2. The other four definitely have more of a spiritual stewardship in mind: 1 Cor. 4:1, 2, Titus 1:7, and 1 Pet. 4:10. 2) Interpretation of parables: I am not sure I followed your reasoning on this issue. Yes, Luke 16 is a parable, but the 'meaning' of the parable cannot be divorced from the context of the parable. The summation (16:11-13) makes it clear that the context is the stewardship of material things like wealth or money. 3) Finally, we seem to differ on our understanding of possessions. You seem to view your material goods as yours, while I view them as things that God has entrusted to me to manage. Well, I need to run! Have a great day my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

18 | Why do we delay baptism, not His Supper? | Bible general Archive 4 | Morant61 | 216776 | ||
Greetings Searcher! I don't believe there is a Biblical reason to wait for baptism. As you aptly demonstrated, most salvation experiences were almost immediately followed by baptism. There really doesn't seem to be any time requirement either way, but the sooner seems to be the better. :-) I remember praying with a young man once, who wanted to be baptized that night. The only problem was that we had to break the ice off of the swimming pool in order to baptism him. :-) It was cold. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Lightedsteps! I hope you don't mind if I jump in on this discussion. I understand the verses you are appealing to, and what you are trying to say about the reality of Christ's humanity. However, you are making a fundamental mistake in assuming that real temptation necessitates a fallen, depraved, human nature. Consider the situation of Adam and Eve. Were they created with a fallen, depraved, human nature? Of course, they were not! Yet, they were tempted by Satan. The fact that temptation was a reality for Christ does not mean that he had a fallen, depraved, human nature. This fallen, depraved, human nature is described in Scripture. Psa 51:5 Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Rom 3:10 As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, None of these passages describe the human nature that Christ possessed. He was without sin in any form - Heb 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin. So, Jesus was tempted, but He had no sin. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
