1 | How could Lucifer become sinful,prideful | Bible general Archive 2 | NYP | 150341 | ||
Disobeying God is a sinful choice. So is pride. Considering the fact that God made both the angels, and man with a "free will", there was, and always will be plenty of evil to choose from. He wants us to worship and love Him of our own choice. If He had made the angels or us any other way, we would be nothing more than robots. |

2 | Bible versions which one is best | Bible general Archive 2 | NYP | 150349 | ||
Dear soul, your question is very dear to my heart, for I once had the same question. I simply could not understand everything I read in the KJV. No doubt, there are probably many good "versions" out there. Keep in mind though, that it is just as likely that there are just as many "bad" versions. The differentiation of good and bad has to be derived from something, and for me, that something is naturally the KJV. Every version I have ever read up on, claims to be based on some early transcripts with other versions in mind. I feel that the Lord showed me the NIV, (something I could understand,) when I needed it most, right after it was first printed in it’s entirety, yet I am more than a little leery of the later versions put out by Zondervan, which publishes NIV. I have compared the original NIV to the KJ and the Interlinear Greek and Hebrew versions and found that none are perfect, yet I know that the Holy Spirit will lead those who diligently seek Him and His word of truth. It is this fact that I have come to depend on. Salvation is the key. Everything else in scripture is for learning and growth. Personally, I study from the NIV, NASB, KJV, MKJV, NKJV, Greek and Hebrew Interlinear, and a half dozen or so other versions. If you are just beginning your studies, I’d recommend you pick one version as your primary, then use others to explain what you may not understand in it. Good versions all agree in their substance. If they differ dramatically from the majority, don’t use them. Some attempt to be literal, and some attempt only to be paraphrasures of the original scroles. |

A M E N ! ! "any teaching not supported by Scripture is nothing but a lie." Thank you dear soul. |

No doubt, dear brother you can take pleasure in being reminded that it has already been foretold that many would rather conform to the ways of the world than go against the tide. He knew you would be a "tide breaker" before you ever got your feet wet. |

No doubt, many would consider the "meanest" as the one which is closest to truth. Yet I can see nothing "mean" in the truth He has given us. Perhaps it is because I am getting a bit bleary eyed, (It is after midnight here in the sunshine state,) but I cannot say that I quite understand your quote, "*"Meanest" here is used in the following sense of the word "mean" -- lacking distinction or eminence : HUMBLE" |

Personally. I do not believe there is a perfect version, yet there is little doubt that there are those which are farther from perfect than others. Even those farther from perfect translations have their use. I do believe that God has preserved the essence of His word through the ages, and that the "less than adequate" translations will go by the way. I think it says something to this affect in scripture too, but I can't find it at the moment. |

What, may I ask, is a "Berean"? It ain't in my dictionary. | ||||||
11 | What was the true meaning of livestock? | Gen 2:16 | NYP | 152296 | ||
Clearly, they were meat eaters after Adam. There is no scriptural answer as to whether Adam And Eve ate meat though. I tend to believe that after they sinned Adam and Eve may have become meat eaters. God clothed them with the skins of animals. Prior to their sin the only reference to their diet was in Genesis 3:17. As to "livestock," it is doubtful that Adam needed to "use" them, unless it was to "keep the grass mowed." |

12 | Did Jeptanath kill his daugter? | Ex 20:13 | NYP | 150378 | ||
Scripture really doesn't say, but according to the custom of the times, it is likely that unless God interveened, though it would not have been an acceptiable sacrifice, Jeptanath did sacrifice his daughter. I was speechless when I first read that passage. It shows what a fool we can be when we make rash vows. The Lord had already told him, he would be successful. |

13 | Why michal had no children | 2 Sam 6:23 | NYP | 150570 | ||
And David was dancing before the LORD with all his might, and David was wearing a linen ephod. 2 Samuel 6:14. An Ephod was representative of priestly divination. Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart. 6:16 No doubt, Michal condemned David in her heart for what she considered the undignified actions of a King. Under the circumstances, and considering Davids having "disrobed in sight of the slave girls," v:20, one might consider Michal within her rights as his wife, yet one should keep in mind that even a King must humble himself before the Lord who exalts. 1 Sa 2:7-8 No doubt, Michal's condemnation to the disgrace of childlessness, was a dirrect result of her condemnation of the one to whom she had vowed allegiance, both as King and husband. |

15 | where proverbs 25-29 lost? | Prov 25:1 | NYP | 148878 | ||
You have me wondering now. I remember one of the Kings finding some lost scrolls, but they were prophetic, not something one would expect to find in the Proverbs. | ||||||
16 | Can a save person mis heaven? | Rom 3:23 | NYP | 152283 | ||
Me tinks stoe. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom 3:23 For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. Rom 7:15 |

17 | Can a save person mis heaven? | Rom 3:23 | NYP | 152286 | ||
Sorry. I misunderstood your post. If Heb 6:4-6 is read as it is written, without "unneeded interpretation and redefining of the words used," your answer is obvious. Heb 6:4 For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, Heb 6:5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, Heb 6:6 and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. Again it is stated in 2Pe 2:20-22 " For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 2Pe 2:21 For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them. 2Pe 2:22 It has happened to them according to the true proverb, "A DOG RETURNS TO ITS OWN VOMIT," and, "A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire." " No doubt, many disagree. But their disbelief does not change the truth of the Word. |

18 | Can a save person mis heaven? | Rom 3:23 | NYP | 152287 | ||
As much as I would like to believe it"once saved, always saved," these passages do not negate those I have already posted. Either way, (by His Grace,) I personally intend to persevere to the very end, knowing all along that there are misteries which no one fully understands, and leaning heavily on Proverbs 3:5-6 in such cases, rather than becoming discourraged. | ||||||
19 | big sins / litle sins | Rom 3:23 | NYP | 152289 | ||
Hank, do you think that the death this passage refers to is "everlasting damnation," or simply "death, (the loss of life?" I can't help but to think of Moses and his sin, which brought what some might consider, a pre mature death. No doubt, sin is sin, and without the blood of the Lamb, the wage thereof is death in eternal damnation, but then, there is a sin unto death, and likewise, those which are not unto death. It seems like I have already answered my question, but I have only gotten myself a little dizzy. |

20 | Who will be saved? Few, Many or All? | Rom 3:23 | NYP | 152291 | ||
One is born again by the renewing of the mind. Salvation is only for the elect, the chosen ones, those of whom He forknew. The "all" you refer to, is the all who, by His grace, through faith, come to Him. This is how many fables and false doctrines come about. Someone stumbles on one verse or passage and takes it totally out of context with scripture as a whole. The Bible MUST be taken as a WHOLE. Not a bit here and a piece there. This is like, just eating the onions out of the pot of stew. The meat and other vegetables are totally overlooked, and the person misses the overall flavor. That person will "think" they know what that particular stew tastes like, but in reality, they haven't the slightest idea what they missed. |
