1 | Rest and Shelter | Gen 1:1 | Morant61 | 243154 | ||
Greetings All! I have been working on memorizing various sections of Scripture. Recently, I decided to memorize Psalm 91:1-16. This is a beautiful Psalm and a great promise for those who rest in Him! In this psalm, God is described as our: 1) Shelter 2) Rest 3) Refuge 4) Fortress 5) Shield 6) Rampart In this psalm, we are promised: 1) Rest 2) Salvation 3) Protection 4) Safety 5) Victory 6) Rescue 7) Answers 8) Presence 9) Deliverance 10) Honor 11) Long Life Anytime you are feeling overwhelmed by the stresses and dangers of this life, read this great Psalm and rest in His shadow. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Doc! Sorry for the delay in responding my friend! I have been swamped lately due to work and weather. :) I just had a similar conversation with someone the other day. It is a difficult question, but here is a simplistic answer to it. I try to divide my response into an individual and a corporate approach. As an individual, in accordance with the Sermon on the Mount, I have an obligation to love, pray for, and minister to my enemies. (Matt. 5:38-48) Rom 12:19 Do not avenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God's wrath, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," says the Lord. Rom 12:20 Rather, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing this you will be heaping burning coals on his head. Rom 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. The only way we are going to reach those who are enemies of the cross is to love them unconditionally and sincerely. Now, on a corporate level, our nation has an obligation to protect the innocent. So, military action may be required. I understand that, for many, this is a very emotional issue. But, we need to remember that the only Christ many of these individuals will ever see is the Christ modeled by and through us. No matter the intentions of our 'enemies', they are not in control. God is! God loves them, and died for them. How can we not demonstrate His love to them? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6 | did we exist before being borne on earth | Bible general Archive 4 | Morant61 | 238844 | ||
Greetings Doc! Great answer! I too tend to lean toward traducianism rather than Creationism. It better explains how human beings come into existence. It better explains how every human being is born with a sin nature. It fits better with the view that we are living souls, not that we have souls. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

7 | Understanding the Greek word Porneia | Matt 5:32 | Morant61 | 237916 | ||
Thanks for the kind words, Ed! If you get the chance, try to find the books I mentioned. I think you will really enjoy them. They are worth having in your library. It would be great if we could actually meet one of these days! I have enjoyed my friendships with so many on this forum over the years. I certainly count you as a friend!

Greetings Ed! Good answer! In this particular case, the phrase actually is in the Greek text. It has been put into parentheses to separate it from Jesus' words. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Rstrats! I was reviewing one of the articles that Doc provided for you, and it did indeed include historical references to the practice of counting any part of a day as a full day. The article says, " While to the 21st-century reader these statements may initially appear to contradict one another, in reality, they harmonize perfectly if one understands the different, and sometimes more liberal, methods ancients often used when reckoning time. In the first century, any part of a day could be computed for the whole day and the night following it (cf. Lightfoot, 1979, pp. 210-211). The Jerusalem Talmud quotes rabbi Eleazar ben Azariah, who lived around A.D. 100, as saying: “A day and night are an Onah [‘a portion of time’] and the portion of an Onah is as the whole of it” (from Jerusalem Talmud: Shabbath ix. 3, as quoted in Hoehner, 1974, pp. 248-249, bracketed comment in orig.). Azariah indicated that a portion of a 24-hour period could be considered the same “as the whole of it.” Thus, as awkward as it may sound to an American living in the 21st century, a person in ancient times could legitimately speak of something occurring “on the third day,” “after three days,” or after “three days and three nights,” yet still be referring to the same exact day." Source: http://www.apologeticspress.org/articles/570 This article also lists several great examples of this practice from Scripture. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

11 | Where is what happens to my soul | Bible general Archive 4 | Morant61 | 236926 | ||
Greetings Doc! Thanks for the link! This message is an excellent introduction to this topic. One point made that I really appreciated is that man is a multi layered being. When I was in graduate school, we used Milliard Erickson's, "Systematic Theology." He used the term 'composite unity' to describe man. Many Christians do not realize that it is not God's plan for us to exist as disembodied spirits, but that our entire being (physical and spiritual) will eventually be saved from the effects of sin.

12 | what do the seven seals indicate? | Revelation | Morant61 | 236767 | ||
Great answer Ed! I might add one thought. The idea seems to be that the scroll was partially rolled a bit, then sealed. The scroll was then rolled a bit more, and sealed. Thus, the opening of each seal allowed a bit more of the scroll to be read. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

13 | what is mean of the verse | Eph 6:1 | Morant61 | 236652 | ||
Greetings You! Bruce Metzger's, "A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament" says this about this verse: (Note: I had to remove Greek letters and special symbols that cannot be viewed on this site) "The words 'in lord) are absent from several early manuscripts and patristic quotations (B D G it Marcion Clement Tertullian Cyprian Ambrosiaster). It is difficult to to decide whether they were added by copyists who recollected 5.22 and or Col. 3:20 (...) or were deleted from several witnesses in order to prevent the reader from supposing that the writer intended to limit or qualify the duty of obedience (rather than merely to characterize the spirit in which the obedience is rendered). The longer text was preferred on the basis of (a) preponderance of external evidence, and (b) the likelihood that if the phrase had been inserted from 5.22 it would been..., or if from Col. 3.20 it would have stood after 'dikaion'. Nevertheless, in orer to reflect the weight of the witnesses that lace 'in lord', a majority of the Committee voted to enclose the words within square brackets." The Net Bible says of this verse: tc - B D F G as well as a few versional and patristic representatives lack "in the Lord" (...), while the phrase is well represented in ...0278 0285 33 1739 1881 .... Scribes may have thought that the phrase could be regarded a qualifier on the kind of parents a child should obey (viz., only Christian parents), and would thus be tempted to delete the phrase to counter such an interpretation. It is unlikely that the phrase would have been added, since the form used to express such sentiment in this Haustafel is (ho to kurio/Christo, "as to the Lord/Christ"; see Eph 5:22; Eph 6:5). Even though the witnesses for the omission are impressive, it is more likely that the phrase was deleted than added by scribal activity." I hope these help! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Steve! These are certainly examples of the Sabbath being kept, but I believe the question was whether or not there is a command in the New Testament to keep the Sabbath. None of these examples are imperatives. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Steve! Excellent observation. I would add to it that not only Daniel is key to understanding Revelation, but a working knowledge of the Old Testament in general. Revelation contains many allusions to Old Testament events, passages, and teachings. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

17 | who was adams first son | Gen 4:1 | Morant61 | 236065 | ||
Greetings Escar! I am familiar with the theory that Cain was Satan's son. However, to believe this theory one must completely reject what Scripture actually says. For instance, Gen. 4:1 says, "Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, "With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man."" If we conveniently ignore what this verse says, then we can believe whatever we want about Cain. Hank Hanegraaff deals with this particular false teaching in one section of the following article: http://www.equip.org/articles/arnold-murray-and-the-shepherds-chapel/ Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Doc! Great quote! I tell our people all the time that one of the surest marks of a false teacher is when someone claims to know something that no one else has ever know, or when someone claims that everyone else is wrong and he is right. The community of faith knows better than any one individual. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

20 | jevohah witness don't believe in cross | Bible general Archive 4 | Morant61 | 234658 | ||
Greetings 1916again! You are correct that the shape of the original crosses was not as we think of them now. They could have been simply a stake, or the shape of a 'T' or even in the shape of an 'X'. Here is what Albert Barnes says about Mt. 27:32: "The cross was composed of two pieces of wood, one of which was placed upright in the earth, and the other crossed it after the form of the figure of a cross. The upright part was commonly so high that the feet of the person crucified were 2 or 3 feet from the ground. On the middle of that upright part there was usually a projection or seat on which the person crucified sat, or, as it were, “rode.” This was necessary, as the hands were not alone strong enough to bear the weight of the body; as the body was left exposed often many days, and not unfrequently suffered to remain till the flesh had been devoured by vultures or putrefied in the sun. The feet were fastened to this upright piece either by nailing them with large spikes driven through the tender part, or by being lashed by cords. To the cross-piece at the top, the hands, being extended, were also fastened, either by spikes or by cords, or perhaps, in some cases, by both. The hands and feet of our Saviour were both fastened by spikes. Crosses were also sometimes made in the form of the letter X, the limbs of the person crucified being extended to the four parts, and he suffered to die a lingering death in this cruel manner. The cross used in the Crucifixion of Christ appears to have been the former. The mention of the cross often occurs in the New Testament. It was the instrument on which the Saviour made atonement for the sins of the world." The important thing is not the shape of the cross, but the fact that Jesus died for our sins upon it. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
