1 | Destressing | Bible general Archive 3 | Shythiyl | 166750 | ||
It seems there is a label for everything today, right on down to the way one believes. You are a this-ist or that-ist. I am a scripturalist. Many call me a Calvinist, yet I disagree with much old Johnny boy wrote. I can't help it if J. Calvin read the same scriptures as I, and came to many of the same conclusions. There is much which man calls sin, which scripture does not label as such. Likewise, there is much which scripture clearly depicts as sin, yet man refuses to see it that way. Man was created by God, and though it was dirrected to the Jews, God said that he would write his laws on our hearts and inner parts. I believe you Kalos, have read His thoughts, not only from His word, but from your heart and inner parts. I could hardly care less what "they say." What they say is rarely worth the paper it is written on. It is utterly worthless, if it isn't in line with what He said. They say "drinking is sin." What does scripture say? They say "this or that is sin." What does scripture say? An illiterate nation depends on a literate preacher. A literate nation has, not only preachers of Gods word, but they have the very word of God at their own disposal. What is their excuse? Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever |

3 | Gift of speaking in tongues for all? | Bible general Archive 3 | Shythiyl | 168005 | ||
Thank you Kalos. To me it is evident from scripture that the miracle is in the speaking rather than hearing. Though I am having a difficult time getting it straightened out in my mind, your quote appears to clarify something which has bothered me. I couldn't understand why when this fact was so clear to me, it wasn't to others. I think I now know. When we see, hear or read something which is so hard to comprehend, we tend to attempt to explain it, just as I am now doing. In the case of tongues, it is understandable that even the most learned would have a hard time understanding what takes place. It is absolutely normal that one would attempt to explain it, even if that one explains it incorrectly. Personally I attempt to stay as close as possiable to the original thought depicted, which I have found, is generally the clossest to the truth. I see the gift of tongues as a miracle. And though this dosen't limit my desire to understand, I also know that I couldnt possiably understand all miracles. Can you imagine a single word spoken which contains all the syllables nessisary to convey the sound of a word in numerous languages? It is nearly unfathomable, but then, so is it's originator. I picture the happening at penticost as being compariable to one who speaks only English, when influenced by the Holy Spirit of God, speaking in a language which is understood in German, French, Spanish, Hebrew, Greek, and whatever other language or dialect is present at the time. This is foolishness to many, yet what is mans wisdom to God? |

I can't recall the passage, but there is an allusion to your question in scripture. Something to the affect that it is for our learning. I'm surprised someone hasn't pointed it out. Doc? |

6 | Saved by belief or belief and baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | Shythiyl | 165701 | ||
Thank you Kalos. Surely the truth of the matter has never been put better than by the very word, inspired by God. Though I have been baptized outwardly, as all true believers I am baptized by The Living Water, and I shall never again know that thirst, not because of the symbolic profession I made before man, but because Jesus is the Living Water. I challenge anyone to show where scripture states that baptism is a requirement for salvation. I am not interested in interpretation. I desire scriptural proof, such as that you have so gracefully presented. If we could only let go the myths and traditional interpretations we have so blindly accepted as truth, and open our eyes to His word, which is so readily available, such threads would not be nessisary. Perhaps we could then discuss how to plant, tend and harvest. The 10 pages of this thread to date, have done nothing other that go around and around, proving nothing but the hardheaded determination of the individuals to make their point, over and over again. I pray for such grace in presenting His truth, as that which you display dear brother. |

7 | Context versus what is translated. | 1 Sam 25:22 | Shythiyl | 165007 | ||
Thank you Kalos. What you appear to be saying, correct me if I am wrong, is that David is saying "may my enemies do this to me, and more if I do not do it to Nabal and his house. "a scribal attempt to deliver David from the implied consequences of this oath'" A scribal attempt? For some reason, this brushes me wrong. The thought that it is not a "literal" discription of what happened, but then, there is much I do not understand. I have always considered an "oath" as non retractable. I know that the circumstances are not even simular, but this brings into question Jephthah's vow. But then, perhaps I confuse the words vow and oath. This is what I was desiring, knowlegable information, and if all follow your lead on this sight, you will more than likely see many of my questions and comments herein. Do you know of an English translation of the Jewish Scripture prior to the LXX? Does such a thing exist? |

8 | Context versus what is translated. | 1 Sam 25:22 | Shythiyl | 165041 | ||
Out of ignorance, and because I believe I may have saw the term in the previous post, I used the term Jewish Scriptures, but then I just realized that I have always thought of the Hebrews as Jewish. I have only the scriptural education of a self/Holy Spirit taught student of the scriptures. I believe this would be a safe assumption, but where scripture is concerned, though my ignorance never fails to amaze me, assumption is against my character. I have thought of this; that the Jew came from Judah, the son of Jacob, but I have never researched it. |

Interesting. It is funny how one can have read all that two or three tines in scripture, yet still not absorbed it. I guess it's just my thick head. | ||||||
10 | Context versus what is translated. | 1 Sam 25:22 | Shythiyl | 168013 | ||
The term "pisses against the wall" is not a literal term. It is figurative. Could a female piss against the wall. Probably. If she was determined enough. Does every male piss against the wall? I hope not, for it would be a pretty smelly wall, but then it is more likely that it would be a mele who could, or would piss against the wall. True, the males hadn't personally done anything to David, but he was dertermined to cut off Nabal's blood line. One must understand the thinking of the day before they render a judgement concerning the actions of the individuals of that time. Please do not take offence, but I don't know where you get your "whole text in the original" from. It may be wonderful in the original you have, but I do not believe yours to be original anything, other than counterfeit, for there is no doubt in my mind that scripture is not as far from the original as you would have me believe. |

11 | Jesus comitted a suicide ? | Matt 16:21 | Shythiyl | 165516 | ||
He knew he was going to die. Some mistakenly think of this as suicied. Many who have fought in wars, knew they were going to die. They were simply following orders. Jesus was following orders. The orders of His very own heart. The heart of God. Would those who think of this as suicide not sacrifice their very own life for their loved ones? To sacrifice ones life for a friend or loved one, is the love of man. To make such sacrifice for friends, loved ones and enemies as well, is the love of God. |

13 | ... | John 1:1 | Shythiyl | 166752 | ||
Dear soul, you are experiencing the very same trials I experirnced in the beginning of my walk. Keep in mind, scripture states that if you ask, you will recieve. If it pertains to anything, this most assuredly pertains to the understanding of His word; our owners manual; Gods instruction manual for His creation. I have a number of translations. If you are a new, young Christian, or sinner wanting to learn His truth for yourself, I would recommend that you find a single translation which you are most comfortanle with, then research what you may not understand by reading how others translate a particular passage. Keep in mind that though they are not all worded exactly the same, all "good" translations will agree with one another. As an example, though the words children and sons mean different things in our language, where King James translates the Greek word as "sons," the NIV, (in my view) more accurately translates it as "children." In essence, the particular Greek word can be translated either way. KJ also translates the Greek word to seats, where NIV translates thrones, (or is it visa versa?) Anyway, they are both where someone rests their butt. The context in this particular passage in Revelation, would lead one to believe that it wouldn't be a royal butt; more than likely just a regular butt like yours or mine. I don't know about you, but it is doubtful that mine will ever rest on a throne. Big deal. The Greek word can be translated either way. The spirit will lead you if your faith and determination (perseverence) is there. God Bless |

14 | ... | John 1:1 | Shythiyl | 166838 | ||
Have you considered letting the Holy Spirit do his job? As I stated, find a version you are comfortable with. You are searching for purity of Gods Word. That Word is The Living Word. It is alive and well. It will find those who diligently seek it. KJ has been around longer than most translations. I, personally rely heavily on it, but have determined that even some of its translations are less than what I consider perfect. God inspired (breathed) His Word. Do you think He is incapiable of inspiring modern day translations? One has to have a starting place. Something on which to base a foundation. Let that be your faith that He is ALL Capiable. There are many good translations. You are looking for a "literal" translation. Like myself, you probably wouldn't understand it if you found one. Some claim to be, and are more literal than others, but only the original transcripts are perfect. Don't let Satan use the fact that there are so many translations of Gods Word, to his advantage. The disciples once asked Jesus if they should rebuke others for teaching because they were not doing so in the same manner as they. He responded, "Are they teaching against us?" When they said no, His response was "Then they are for us." |

Doc, dear brother, your words are wise, but though I am not always successful, and at a loss without a good spell checker and dictionary, I make every attempt to use words in in their truest of meaning, and I stick by my original statement. that "God is able to inspire (to influence, move, or guide by divine or supernatural inspiration,) even modern day translations of His originally inspired (breathed) word." How else could it have been preserved even up to 1611. Surely not by the will of carnal man. Definition provided per Merriam Webster. It even gave me the meaning of the word heterodoxical. "contrary to or different from an acknowledged standard, a traditional form, or an established religion." Could Martin Luther have been considered heterodoxus? Could the Church not benifit from one who posesses "some" of his attributes today? Is it heresy to make a statement which is contrary to or different from an acknowledged standard? I think not, as long as it is within scriptural boundries. |

Quoting Kalos "Every translation contains verses that are at least somewhat mistranslated. In my study and teaching, I use several of the different translations in addition to studying the original languages. By comparing and contrasting the different translations, it is often easier to get a good grasp on what the verse is saying than by only using one translation. My loyalty is not to any one English translation, but --- to the inspired, inerrant Word of God that is communicated by the Holy Spirit --- through the translations (2Timothy 3:16-17).'" And we MUST preach and teach this method, or Satan will use the confusion to his advantage. Again, find a bible you are comfortable with. If you diligently seek Gods truth, there hundreds of translations thereof which will attest to the fact that The Holy Spirit will lead you. "If they are not against us, they are for us..." Kalos, dear brother, if I were half as learned as you, Doc and Tim, I would be twice as as smart as I am. .... perhaps one day. |

Thank you for elaborating. My wife tells me that I am too concice. Not enough attantion to detail. I tell her that she gives too many details and I get boared. I guess I'm just odd... But I like your details on this matter. |

20 | Was it a man after God's own heart | Acts 13:22 | Shythiyl | 165895 | ||
There is but one "unpardonable sin." I once detested the term "saved sinner," for in my scriptural ignorance, it appeared a contradiction. I now see the truth in that term, for we are all just that. |
