1 | I am looking for a study bible.... | Bible general Archive 2 | ischus | 115053 | ||
Thank you very much. I will definitely be looking into this. I noticed that you also mentioned the NEW AMERICAN BIBLE and the ST. JOSEPH EDITION. Could you tell me about these? Also, let me take a moment to share what I call my "dream bible," since I have never been able to find one. My ideal specifications are: - a literal translation (NAS or something like it, but not KJV or NKJV- the best would be NAS updated version) - wide margins - good exegetical, historical, and cross reference notes. - book introductions - non calvinistic, non dispensational notes - maps and concordance would be nice, but not necessary *** I have already been looking at the Thompson Chain Reference and the Key Word Study bibles, but since I am so specific even those fail my expectations. If anyone has an idea that would make my day! ischus |

I have the greatest appreciation for your comments, Hank, and I thank you for keeping me on track spiritually, and not just academically. This forum is such a great place- I am overwhelmed with the many suggestions that I have received. This is surely an answered prayer for me. I look forward to all of the questions and discussions that will be had during my time here. Thanks again. ischus |

Ray, I don't see the distinction that you are making here. I agree totally with everything you have said. Please tell me how that differs from my previous comment. | ||||||

6 | Does the Holy Spirit work differently? | Bible general Archive 2 | ischus | 115243 | ||
Sorry Ray, I didn't mean to use "it" in refering to the Spirit. I'm not sure that "He" is correct either. Are you sure that pneuma and ruach always occur with a masculine article? The bible seems to have no issue with the gender of the Spirit, and I don't think we should focus on this either. ischus |

Brenda, It is well documented in many places as to the source for Jehovah. I think that in all five of the references that I gave you at the end you will find a comment about that. As for Yahweh, the definitions you have given are good too. There is so much in this name that it is hard to state it all concisely, but I would recommend that it is not God who "changes not" (although this is true) but that it is rather God who "causes things to change." This is more accurate in light of the context of the exodus, and the other places where Yahweh is used are also more along this line. But what you say is also a valid definition. ischus |

Also, when you mention the SELF EXISTENT ONE- this is kind of tricky: "Yahweh" is actually a 3rd-person-causitive form of the word, "Hiyah." Hiyah is the word in Ex.3 translated as 'I AM' and this is the SELF EXISTENT ONE. BUT- Yahweh is the 3rd person (he,she,it,or the one) causitive( meaning active or causing) form. That is why I give you the other definition, which is more active and more causal: "The one who causes things to happen." ischus |

15 | who benefits most from prayer? | Bible general Archive 2 | ischus | 116001 | ||
JL, Hello! I think that God is blessed jus as much as we are in the mutual relationship the we share together. He gets hurt just as much, he rejoices just as much, and he gets blessed just as much. Although God is omnipotent, one of the thingshe can't do is make us love him or trust him or talk to him. When we do these things, he is blessed! In regard to your second statement, I don't think that numbers matter in prayer. What matters is the faith of the people. Of course God's will always overrides the faithful request if the prayer is not in what God sees as the wisest or best thing, but faith, not numbers, is definitely the key to prayer. God really cares about and seeks faith more than he does healing or physical blessing of his people. Don't get me wrong- God loves to physically bless, but what he cares about more than anything else is our faith and trust in him despite our circumstances (Lk. 18:1-8) Finally, I am comparing christians in different parts of the world. I don't remember, but I think I might have used the term 'worldview' and that is why you are unclear here, but worldview does not refer to ones religion or faith- It refers to your assumptions about the world, meaning that where you live and the environment you grow up in affects the way you perceive prayer. What I meant was that non-western people are far more spiritually-focussed and far less influenced by our naturalistic approach to God and prayer. I appreciate your comments. I don't know if this helped or made things more unclear, but whatever you need clarification in I will be happy to explain further. ischus |

jal, Hey- Thanks for that post; I really think that you are the first person that I have ever agreed with on every point in a post with more than one sentence. :) About blessing God, The bible has a lot to say about this. Look in a concordance under the word 'bless' and you will see the many times that the bible speaks of blessing the Lord. [By the way, some translations, like the NIV, will translate this word for 'bless' as 'praise' which is not wrong, but does not give the full sense of the word. Also, think about the Lord's Supper (communion, eucharist... I don't know what you call it). The cup of the Passover that Jesus used to institute the "eucharist" is called the cup of blessing- us blessing God and God blessing us... is it mutual and reciprocal. ischus |

18 | why don't people study the old testmant | OT general | ischus | 115075 | ||
Suede, I am wondering what you mean by "a lot of the OT is history, not doctrine." If you mean that the OT is more historical than theological I would disagree. None of the Old Testament is primarily meant to be history. It is about doctrine- who God is, who his people are, how they are saved, etc. I would encourage you to check out the other repsonses to jct's question under #115012 in the quick search box. I apologize if you were only sharing the common opinion of the OT and not your own. I may have misinterpreted your comments. I would be happy to have been wrong in this case! ischus |

SUEDE, We cetainly do disagree here. I do not deny that the bible contains history, but when it does, the point that the authors make is the way in which God works in history- the bible is not objective history (nor is any history, for that matter)- it is a theological interpretation of events that show God's divine work. Each section of the OT demonstrates God's desire for a relationship with his people in spite of their failures; each book shows God's love, mercy, faithfulness, justice, holiness, grace, and his universal love for all people, including gentiles and pagans. These are not historical- they are Gospel! I am sorry to hear that you do not see the OT in this way. ischus |
