1 | What was in the cup, wine? | Not Specified | Timaeus | 191851 | ||
In the account of The Last Supper, in Matthew and Luke, it only says that Jesus took the cup and blessed it. I have always been told there was wine in the cup. Is there a verse that describes what was in the cup at the Last Supper? | ||||||

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 |

3 | Keeping the Sabbath | Bible general Archive 3 | Timaeus | 185237 | ||
Hi NormaA, The short answer is, No. The longer version is, Everything in the Old Testament points forward, to the Cross. And, Everything in the New Testament points rearward, to the Cross. There have been many discussions listing scriptural details concerning the Sabbath, all you need to do is type "Sabbath" in the search box on the right, and you will have all you could ask for. Welcome to the Forum, happy searching. In His Service and yours, Tim |

6 | what church do i go to? Help!! | NT general Archive 1 | Timaeus | 185474 | ||
You are so very much in the right, and I believe the angels in heaven started singing praise to God's glory when your question went out. I was in a Bible teaching church when I first was saved, which was very big on fellowship, and that is important. However, after I found my present church and started attending -at first on a temporary basis to see what it was like (Wednesday nights only), The 20 minute sermons at the 'other church' just then started to seem like a watered-down version of the Gospel -as the Cross was mentioned only occasionally. My present church goes through the Bible, verse by verse, chapter by chapter and book by book. The New Testament on Sundays (presently in Hebrews) and the Old Testament on Wednesdays (presently in Isaiah). The wonderfully gifted Pastor recently decided to add another Book on Sunday evening service, so we are presently in the Book of Revelation in that slot. I have learned that when we spend time in God's Word, there will be a change that takes place within us, -more-so that when a pastor does topical studies, although -Please do not get me wrong here, -there is a good use for topical studies and I have nothing against them, per-say. It is just that when we go through the Bible verse by verse, the Pastor cannot skip any Books, in favor of his personal favorites and that creates a real discipline. I should not go on here any further because at this point I am urged to remind you, that this is only my opinion, and I am just a sinner. By the way, I love my Pastor dearly, but he has his share of mistakes in the pulpit also, and we are then able to get a lesson in giving grace and not only receiving. (o; God Bless you in your search for a church. Tim |

8 | proper name HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT | Gen 1:2 | Timaeus | 197144 | ||
Here it is, in the King James Version: Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. (Mat 1:18 KJV) | ||||||
9 | where is "HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT in old test | Gen 1:2 | Timaeus | 197201 | ||
bald eagle, In the King James Version, the OT speaks of the Holy Spirit, while the NT says Holy Ghost. The OT is translated mostly from the Hebrew language while the NT comes to us from the Greek. There are bound to be difficulties, since no language will always translate perfectly into another language. The King of Babylon in the Book of Daniel talks about the "spirit of the holy gods" since he is a pagan. There are other translations that will use other wording in the same spots for the same person, so, without getting too far off on the side issues, has your question been answered, or is there more that I can do to help you in your understanding of where the Holy Ghost/Spirit is first mentioned in Scripture? There may possibly be a reason behind your question so if you clarify the specifics we will all be only too glad to help. May God bless you in your search for His truth. Tim |

10 | The world was made through Christ? | Gen 1:3 | Timaeus | 185362 | ||
The Scripture verses that I like to turn to when I think along the lines of creation through Jesus, are as follows: First, there is Hbr 1:1 God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, Hbr 1:2 in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. Second, Gen 1:3 Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. Now when God Said, I like to think of Him using the Word, which is identified for us in the Gospel of John. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 Do you see the connection now? Blessings to you and yours, Tim |

11 | what day were the fruit trees created? | Gen 1:12 | Timaeus | 185291 | ||
Hi Lindah, We must remember the time-frame of one day, and that biblically it is a 24 hour period, yet probably not from midnight to midnight, as in most places today. I could be off on this, but I believe the Jews believe a day to last from dusk to dusk, and this was likely due to the observance of their festivals, which came about as a much later development. Gen 1:12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good. Gen 1:13 There was evening and there was morning, a third day. Welcome to the Forum. God Bless you and yours, Tim |

12 | how was noah's ark built | Gen 6:14 | Timaeus | 185147 | ||
Hi montgomery98 , What a provocative question, hmmmm. Well, the Bible does not offer much as to the construction of the ark and it was before recorded history, so I look more into reasons behind it being built than actually how it was built. An important thing to consider is that the Ark was built by amateurs while the Titanic was built by professionals. (o; I did, however get this following info, which I extracted from Wikipedia, and edited only slightly, for brevity. Apart from questions of date, authorship, and textual integrity, literalists devote much attention to technical matters such as the identity of "gopher wood" and details of the Ark's construction. The following sets out some of the more commonly discussed topics: Gopher wood: Gen 6:14 states that Noah built the Ark of (gofer, more commonly gopher) wood, a word not otherwise known in the Bible or in Hebrew. The Jewish Encyclopedia believes it was most likely a translation of the Babylonian "gushure iþ erini" (cedar-beams), or the Assyrian "giparu" (reed).The Greek Septuagint (3rd–1st centuries BC) translated it as ("xylon tetragonon"), "squared timber." Similarly, the Latin Vulgate (5th century AD) rendered it as "lignis levigatis", or "smoothed (possibly planed) wood." Older English translations, including the King James Version (17th century), simply leave it untranslated. Seaworthiness: The Ark is described as 300 cubits long, the cubit being a unit of measurement from elbow to outstretched fingertip. Many different cubits were in use in the ancient world, but all were essentially similar, and literalist websites seem to agree that the Ark was approximately 450 feet (137 m) in length. Many, but not all, literalist scholars believe that Noah must have built the Ark using advanced post-19th century techniques such as space frame construction. Capacity: The Ark would have had a gross volume of about 1.5 million cubic feet (40,000 m³), a displacement a little less than half that of the Titanic at about 22,000 tons, and total floor space of around 100,000 square feet (9,300 m²). God Bless, and Bless God, Tim |

13 | when dose god create Satan? | Job 38:7 | Timaeus | 208731 | ||
Greetings Rawlies13 The long and the short of your question actually are two different questions, but that is OK we will all do our best to help you, so, welcome to the Forum. The first time the word 'satan' appears in the King James Version is, 1Chronicles 21:1, "And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel." I do not think that is what you are looking for, -so the first time satan's appearance is noted in the Bible is him, -disguised as a serpent in Genesis 3:1, "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" Now for the answer to the short version, Satan, is understood to be Lucifer, son of the morning (cf Isa 11:12) The name Lucifer actually means "light-bearer" Now, I am not aware of a biblical refernce for the creation of satan, but I lean towards the understanding that the angels were created before man but after light. Blessings to you in your studies, Tim |

14 | What is the true meanign of proverbs 18: | Prov 17:17 | Timaeus | 208724 | ||
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 |

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 |

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 |

17 | What is Isaiah/God’s criticism of the pe | Is 1:10 | Timaeus | 185347 | ||
What Isaiah was warning the people of was the folly of false religion. Their religious assemblies were actually sinful in God's eyes because they were an attempt to replace godly living with religious ceremony. The cure for spiritual illness is through a relationship with the Lord, and not through increased religious activity, or 'religiosity'. God had commanded them to perform sacrifices, yet He took no delight with them if they were performed only for the sake of obedience and did not come from their heart. May we strive for a right behavior before God and not merely go through the motions. Lord Bless, Tim |

19 | Questions of sin and love | Jer 17:9 | Timaeus | 185496 | ||
Hello NightJay0044, The nature of sin is not that it relly takes anything, or, what would it do with it? Is it alive? Do not misunderstand me here, I am just trying to put your question in proper perspective. The Bible uses different words to describe our broken relationship with God. In that sense, sin would take away our fellowship with our Creator, as it 'builds' a wall of separation. This kinda gives sin a life of its own doesn't it? But understand that it is not actually the sin that is doing the building or tearing down, It is mostly done by us, through our freewill that God has given us. David uses three words in Psalm 32 to describe what we mostly call 'sin'. The three are slightly different as follows: Sin is a word used in archery when an arrow misses the target. That is what happens when we miss the mark, or standard of perfection that God had intended for us, like an arrow that veers off to the left or right, we go astray of His straight line of righteousness. Now, Iniquity is similar, it means to stray from a straight path that God has marked out for us. Or, to step over the line. God's path is written for us in the Bible, but the effects of sin are inside us, and we are in the world, so there are many distractions that cause us to become sidetracked or to go on dead-end trails when we seek our own goals. Then there's Transgression, and that is plain rebellion. As Creator of the universe and all that is in it, God has the right to make the rules. He has laid down the law of what is right or wrong, and when we go against Him and step outside of His guidelines, we are transgressing, or, committing a transgression. As far as being the opposite of love, The Bible tells us that God is Love, 1John 4:8 and 4:16 Since God who is holy is opposite of any form of wickedness, the two are like fire and water, they cannot exist together. Yes, That would make them opposites, I believe. For more explanation on the nature of love, look at 1Cor 13:4-8 In His Love, Tim |

20 | Psalms 8 compared to Matt 1:25-26 | Matt 11:25 | Timaeus | 197274 | ||
Greetings aggiedad3, In Matthew we have Christ looking with thankfulness towards His heavenly Father, considering the privileges and benefits of the covenant of grace. In Psalm 8, we are led to observe the glory of God in the kingdom of nature and are prompted to consider our spiritual Father's glory in His kingdom of grace. However, it is hard to pin down the specific verse you are looking for. I hope this helps. Tim |
