1 | When did the catholic church go wrong? | Bible general Archive 1 | djconklin | 25962 | ||
"If you can believe it I met a Senior High School teacher that was bragging that he had never read a complete book!" Ed, I had somewhat a similar experience. When I finished the seminary and came home my sister handed me a book about women's ordination and wanted to know what I thought about it. She said that both her and the elder of the church had read it. So, I glanced through it and looked it over carefully--how do two people manage to read a book and never underline or highlight anything, make no notes in the margins, and never even bend the binding on a paperback book? When I pointed that out to her she admitted that she had only glanced through it--and this from one who has an MBA and is now working on a masters in another field! She should know better! |

2 | did the wine from the water make you dr | Bible general Archive 1 | djconklin | 28266 | ||
Grape juice can be preserved if it is dipped into well water and held there. Ancient people knew what to do to preserve grape juice and other products (tho' obviously not as well as refrigerators and freezers of today): "Columella, a renowned agriculturalist who lived in the first century A.D. In his treatise On Agriculture and Trees, Columella discusses at great length the various methods used by different people to preserve such produce as lettuce, onions, apples, pears, berries, plums, figs, olives, unfermented grape juice and fermented wine." from Bacchicocchi's book about wine in the Bible (http://www.biblicalperspectives.com/books/wine_in_the_bible/3.html). To fully answer the original question one must understand the culture of the day and what was meant by "the good wine" of John 2:10. |

3 | What about those who never heard of JC ? | Bible general Archive 1 | djconklin | 30937 | ||
The only way people can and will be saved is through Jesus Christ. That is the message of Scripture. The Bible does not attribute any magical properties to the name of Jesus. On your next trip to the library do a search for the book entitled Through No Fault of Their Own? I highly recommend that everyone read it. | ||||||
4 | which bible translation is true? | Bible general Archive 1 | djconklin | 32074 | ||
I had a prof who when we turned to our Bibles he read straight from the Greek text and translated as he went--just about as fast as we could read in English. He told us that if we practiced 15 minutes a day we could keep our Greek up. | ||||||
5 | which bible translation is true? | Bible general Archive 1 | djconklin | 32077 | ||
Those who have studied the various translations say that there's only about 50 texts in which there is any major difference and none of them affect any doctrine. | ||||||
6 | which bible translation is true? | Bible general Archive 1 | djconklin | 32198 | ||
Has it been a long time since you were taught Greek? Or, are you like me and the ol' bod just can't keep up anymore! | ||||||
7 | "And Cain knew his wife..." | OT general | djconklin | 25861 | ||
We can also note that part of the "curse" placed on Eve as result of her sin was that the pain of child-bearing would "increase" ("greatly multiply" in Gen 3:16 (KJV))--how could the pain "increase" if she had never given birth before? | ||||||
8 | "And Cain knew his wife..." | OT general | djconklin | 25981 | ||
"I interpret this verse as saying (God speaking), "The pain that I had originally intended for women to experience during child bearing will increase.."" Aren't there ways of saying that? I just worked with what the text said. |

9 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | djconklin | 30941 | ||
In context, Jesus was telling his disciples that if they lacked faith in His ability to provide for their needs then they should buy a sword and thus use it to take what they needed--note that none of them ever did such a thing. | ||||||
10 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | djconklin | 31366 | ||
Think about it: how could two swords (whatever length) be enough for 12 disciples? And what would they be used for? | ||||||
11 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | djconklin | 31623 | ||
If they were 12 "strong men" with two swords then why would they hide as they did after the death of Jesus? The Zealots were much better armed and they took on the Romans. Given the context about going out and being supplied by faith divine grace woould provide them with the necessary provisions it is far more likely that Jesus was basically saying that if you don't have faith then with the sword you could take what ever you thought you would need. I forget which commentary I read that in. Perhaps if you looked you'd find it (I just got up from a half sleep after a 16 hour shift so I'm still brain-dead here.). | ||||||
12 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | djconklin | 31876 | ||
"I will remain adamant, however, that our Lord would not, and even could not, advocate the sin of breaking both the 6th and the 8th commandments in the taking of "necessities" by force with a sword." Jesus wasn't advocating anything like that. Unfortunately, the disciples (as usual) misinterpreted what He meant. The passage has nothing to do with self-defense and given that the disciples split up sometime after the Ascension 2 sowrds would hardly have afforded adequate protection against anyone who was deteremined to rob or attack any of them--note that virtually all labor back then (except for Luke the physician and Matthew the tax collector) was manual labor--so virtually all males were phiscally fit (no couch potatoes!) |
||||||
13 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | djconklin | 31920 | ||
You didn't read closely what I wrote--note the word "if". If one lacks faith then one isn't a believer right? Whatever is not of faith is sin? From what we are given in the account there were only two swords amongst all of the 12 disciples. |

The tradition of the authorship of the Gospels has a sound historical basis. For more details see a short study (The Dating and Authorship of the Synoptic Gospels) at http://biblestudy.iwarp.com/ | ||||||
15 | what was the origine of sunday worship? | NT general Archive 1 | djconklin | 28262 | ||
"Jesus gave this authority to the Apostles and His Church, Matthew 10:40; 16:19; 18:18-20; Luke 10:16, including the sabbath, Colossians 2:16-22." Col. 2:16-17 isn't even talking about the sevbenth-day Sabbath in the first place and Paul is telling the believers to not let outsiders judge them on the what they were doing but rather to submit to the judgment of the church as a whole. For more details see the in-depth study at http://biblestudy.iwarp.com where I have looked at over 195 sources over the past two years in an effort to analyze the grammatical and linguistic evidence. |

16 | WHO WROTE THE GOSPLES? THE APOSLES? | NT general Archive 1 | djconklin | 28292 | ||
One of the things that I found particularly interesting in doing that study was the wealth of detailed information that we have available that shows that our traditions on this are quite reliable. The second thing that was tantalizing for me was the information that points to a very early date for Matthew. |
||||||
17 | what was the origine of sunday worship? | NT general Archive 1 | djconklin | 28294 | ||
My point is that the Bible is being made to say things that it does not say and that the church cannot do anything that is contrary to the Word of God--something 1 Tim. 3:15 confirms. We should not be in disagreement on a matter of theology. | ||||||
18 | Why did it take the wise men so long... | NT general Archive 1 | djconklin | 28295 | ||
"-the magi probably rode Persian steeds and had troop support" More likely they rode camels (slow and plodding); horses were used for attack. |
||||||
19 | Day of Purification? | NT general Archive 1 | djconklin | 28296 | ||
"I do not know they came on Persian steeds, camels or even walked." The last option is even more likely; one of the tidbits that helps one to understand the story of the Good Samartian is that he put the wounded Jew on his donkey. This means that either the Good Samaritan was riding it (a fact that would then mean he was relatively well off). Or, if he was a merchant he had to take his cargo of goods off the donkey to put the Jew on it. |

20 | WHO WROTE THE GOSPLES? THE APOSLES? | NT general Archive 1 | djconklin | 28303 | ||
You are quite right. Isn't it amazing how professional scholars can be lead to believe a theory instead of looking at all of the available facts? And then people on the side-lines, so to speak, accuse you of being a "lone ranger" if you dare question what the pro's have said! | ||||||
