1 | What is the true meanign of proverbs 18: | Prov 17:17 | Timaeus | 208826 | ||
My Christian brothers, well, I will tell everyone now why I stopped using one identity, it was, for a while I stayed away from the Forum for the reason that I felt that users were being overly critical of others and overly judgemental, which is a conflict with the direction I would like my walk to continue. To wit: you wrote: By the way Tim, here is something Doc (DocTrinsograce) has written... ((and further)) participants prefer to use the words of others rather than invest the time, energy, and effort in smithing their own words. ???Well is that not what just happened in your post?? I come to the forum because it is an excellent source to learn about the deeper issues in God's Word. I tell others to go to SBF when they have a question that I am unable to answer. I have deleted my profiles because there is no reason why people should pursue this issue after I have given my apologies to all readers of this thread. I made a mistake and apologized and the complaining posts nevertheless continued. And now feel that I am being judged for my actions as a fallable mortal being. I may or may not return in the future (with a new identity) to avoid overly confusing anyone who places too much emphasis on details instead of the heart of the message. May our Lord bless you all. nameless |

My apologies to you, Azure, and to the Forum. I used a different user name on a different computer at a different address, and not remembering the details of it, I just started with a new name and password. I am not sure how the old one re-surfaced, again, I apologize if I broke any rules, and also if I caused any confusion. Tim |

Thanks, John, I was unable monitor the thread for a while and am just getting back to it now. It is my belief that Matthew Henry's commentary is in the Public Domain. Again, I could be wrong. If I were to not cite the source, would I be guilty of copyright infringement? or would it just be poor etiquette? My hat goes off to Searcher for his diligence, whether he could've been off the mark or not is not as important to me, as his intentions were honorable. God Bless you both for all that you do, Tim |

4 | What was in the cup, wine? | Mark 14:25 | Timaeus | 192086 | ||
Thank you, rabban. The answers you provided are helpful and do much for me in the way of enlightenment, of the nature of Jesus as well as how we are to conduct our own behavior. This is my favorite reason for visiting this site, and I wish to thank all of you for participating, Blessings to you. timaeus |

5 | What was in the cup, wine? | Mark 14:25 | Timaeus | 192012 | ||
Thank you for the input. I was in disagreement with a brother about whether Jesus would imbibe in alcoholic beverages, if He entered a tavern today. I thought that no, He would never defile His blood that way, but Scripture seems to show that He did, in fact, drink fermented wine. God bless, and bless God. tim |

6 | What was in the cup, wine? | Mark 14:25 | Timaeus | 192011 | ||
Sorry, it appears I have been mistaken. I thought that if alcohol was ingested and entered the bloodstream, the blood would be diluted w/ a foreign substance, making it into an altered state. I thought that Jesus would remain pure absolutely, making His sacrifice acceptable. Thank you all for your input, God bless, and bless God. tim |

7 | What was in the cup, wine? | Mark 14:25 | Timaeus | 191889 | ||
This is not a Scriptural issue, but a medical one. When one ingests an alcoholic beverage, the alcohol is absorbed into the blood through the stomach lining. This is measured in a percentage value called blood alcohol content, or BAC. Thank you for your reply, may the Lord bless you superbly. Tim |

8 | What was in the cup, wine? | Mark 14:25 | Timaeus | 191880 | ||
Thank you, Barach. The fruit of the vine most likely is wine, as I now see. My problem is in Jesus actually drinking wine, as I feel this would make His blood impure through the dilution with alcohol. I do not see here where Jesus actually drank the wine, do you? | ||||||
9 | how many angels in a legion? | Matt 26:53 | Timaeus | 185487 | ||
Thanks brother John, I just got home to your post from a wonderful study on Revelation at Church. I wont mention any names, but he is Greek, so I thought (B.H.) had some language insight that I was lacking In Him, Tim |

10 | how many angels in a legion? | Matt 26:53 | Timaeus | 185472 | ||
I would like to check on what a questionable source mentioned on TV. He said that a legion of angels was 12,000, so 12 legions would be 144,000. Then he continued to give references that said we all have this many angels at our disposal. I would like to know if there is any truth to this. Thanks, God Bless Tim |

12 | Biblical views on castration | Matt 19:12 | Timaeus | 185338 | ||
The major problem with being a eunuch or someone who was blemished in any way according to the judgments in Leviticus 21:20 was that it made a male unworthy to worship in the temple near the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This law was established by the same being who became Jesus the Christ some 1500 years later in the times of the Romans. Now Jesus instructed the people in Matthew 19:12 that being a eunuch is sometimes better in the same way that it is better for an unmarried individual as both can devote their whole being on the study of God's Word and the development of His Way as they do not get tangled up in pleasing a mate or be driven to sin because of their sexual appetites as he was trying to explain. But he qualifies this teaching with the admonition that it is only for those that it is given by the Father to be able too this. Of course he did not mean that humans should stop procreating within the marriage covenant or none of us would be alive today. The idea that even a eunuch could be baptized and close to God and be begotten into God's family shows the impartiality of our Father in all things. It also shows the better covenant in Jesus and why the old covenant became obsolete in some things. To show his impartial treatment of slaves read the book of Philemon which in a nutshell says that both the slave master and the slave are equal in the sight of God and each should be respectful to the other. This was an unheard of concept in that culture and is not readily understood even today. For the most part this practice is not openly done in the modern world and it is unfortunate when some have had accidents or are born with congenital deformities but they are not left out of God's family because of it. We should all remember to thank God for the things He has seen fit to give us as well as the things he has not, "...blessed be the name of the LORD" (Job 1:21) In His service and yours, Tim |

Excellent, EG We must keep in mind also that the Old Tesament is replaced by the New Testament. Jesus said in Mat 5:17, "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. So the law has been fulfilled, the requirements have been met, as Jesus brought to us a new covenant. Some take the everlasting covenant as another name for the New Covenant in which believers are said to be complete in every good work. See also, Heb 9:12, "and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption." Which brings us back to the promise of this new covenant, from the Old Testament, in Jer 31:31, "Behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, So, I am of the belief that we are not under the old law. There are those who will contend with me on this, and yes, there are restrictions that still do apply to all God's children. As your friend is told in the Old Testament that being thus wounded he shall not enter the assembly of the LORD. But I would say to look to Christ. In particular, the Book of Romans. Rom 8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. Rom 8:3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, I hope this sheds some more light... Many Blessings. In Him, Tim |

One more point,a obvious difference between Catholic and Protestant beliefs is seen when you walk in the church and see the cross above the altar. Yes, the Protestants DO believe in the cross. The Catholic Church will have the body of Jesus still nailed to the cross, while Protestants believe that He is no longer on the cross, but He has risen. In His Love, Tim |

Hi again Lon, I think you are studying very well, there are very important issues that should be cleared up, for your own understanding. You want to be able to own your belief and not guess or wonder. No, Protestants are not under the Pope because the pope claims to be the head of the church, as well as the vicar of Christ. The pope has proclaimed the tradition of the church to be co-equal with Scripture. The Bible claims that Christ is the head of the church, which is Christ's body. The Holy Spirit is the vicar of Christ. (vicar means mouthpiece) I think it is sinful to usurp authority. I believe God's Word to be the final authority in all manners of doctrine and faith. (cf 2Tim 3:16) For, when tradition conflicts with Scripture, we are forced to choose between the teachings of two sources. That is where the Protestant cry of "Sola Scriptura" came from, because the Roman Catholic Church was placing too much emphasis on tradition, and Scripture was forced to take a back seat. When the Bible says we are saved by grace and not by works, and the pope says we can be saved by either grace or by works, who do you believe? Since the doctrine of purgatory is found not in the divinely inspired canon, I feel that it is a man-made doctrine and can do nothing for my relationship with my Savior. I cannot see how the Catholic Church can exist without the doctrine of purgatory, and there are many other doctrines they espouse to that were non-existant in the early church. Martin Luther did not set out to cause a Great Reformation, he did not intend to cause any split in the church that he loved. The Holy Spirit works in the hearts of believers in order to keep the church pure. This is how the split came about, and there are now more than 400 protestant denominations and, I have heard over 4,000 non-denominational churches. This is because of man's pride and arguments over non-essential issues. Disagreements over such things as whose name are you baptized under, even by sprinkling or immersion are often unable to be overcome so another new church gets started. I have found a local church that teaches God's Word alone, verse by verse and chapter by chapter, book by book. I will pray that you can find a good church home that you can build a relationship with our Lord and Savior, and not place greater attention on religion, as the Pharisees did and were scolded for it. God Bless you in your search for the truth. Tim |

Hi Tony, Yes I believe in God's Word 100 out of 100 times. I am not going to say that I know all, or can even be able to find all the answers however, I have studied the Scriptures and can see where you may be able to use some help. That is what we are here for, and I am willing to dialogue with you without judging you The main question seems to be a pitting of one verse against another, making their truth seem less valid. You will find as you put the verses into the context in which they belong that the truth will always ring true, and I will do what I can to shed light on any gray areas that you may perceive. I think you will find that truth cannot be improved upon, only our understanding is what is lacking. In my studies I have found so far that God's Word is infallible and irrevocable. Scripture contains the full revelation of God and the full revelation of His will for mankind. Scripture is the Final Authority in all matters and is necessary for salvation, and sufficient for growth. There are obviously other sources that may have one or more of these qualities, but Scripture has all qualities all the time, bar none. This all is pertaining to 2Timothy3:16. Now, for the verse in 1Timothy 2:9, let me paraphrase some comments from Matthew Henry, one of my all-time favorite sources. hen I will ask you to further define any questions, one or two at a time, to make them easier to answer in this forum. 2Tim 2:9 is a particular exhortation is to women in that particular era, who professed themselves to be Christians. They are urged to be modest, sober, silent, and submissive, as is becoming to the fairer sex, that they know their place. They should be modest in their apparel, not gaudy, or showy, as to attract attention to themselves, or their form, and not overdressed to the occasion or flaunting the costliness of their garments. Good works are the ornament of choice here these are what we are commanded to do in our lives on earth, to build up treasures in heaven, not on earth. We must all learn the principles of religion, learn the scriptures, and learn to know Christ. Women are here insructed not to think that being the weaker sex excuses them from learning that which is necessary to their salvation. Are you getting the picture, my brother? I hope I am helping you to see more clearly, if not I will watch for your reply. In Christ, Tim |
