1 | The Kingdom of God | Not Specified | grafted in | 216230 | ||
Hello everyone, May I have a number of explanations of Matthew 11:12 as connected to Malachi 2:13? I'm looking at the Greek and Hebrew words used (biastai and portzim and their variants) and am finding that the translations I'm used to don't seem to fit well. There seems to be 2 different pictures painted when speaking of taking something by force or something breaking forth by an action. Thank you in advance. |

3 | statusitis | Bible general Archive 4 | grafted in | 215322 | ||
Hi Grace, Are you wanting to know about statistics or statutes? These are 2 different things. If it is statutes, you can find a meaning in Exodus 21:1 where the word is translated as rulings, decisions or judgements. The Hebrew words used are tzedek meaning righteous or righteousness and mishpat which refers to decisions, rulings. Putting the words together it means to do justly, to do what is right, to do or walk in God's way. They first appear in Genesis 18:19. |

5 | Are people going to hell? | Bible general Archive 4 | grafted in | 215388 | ||
Greetings Tonyah, The verses from Romans and Philippians do say that all will acknowledge the Lord, but for those who died or came to this point in their sins will be judged according to their deeds and not according to God's salvation that is found in His Son. There is a verse in Isaiah and Paul repeats the idea (I'm sorry, I'm not sure where they are located) that all Israel will be saved. I'm not sure how this is going to happen. I'm not sure the statements mean all of physical Israel, the actual physical descendants of the original 12 tribes along with the Christians, or if these 2 statements mean the gentile Christians and only the descendants of Jacob who have believed in God's Messiah (those who looked toward His coming and those who have believed in Him since He came some 2000 years ago). Since the gentiles have been grafted into the commonwealth of Israel I tend to lean toward the second idea. |

6 | To whom did God speak directly? | Bible general Archive 4 | grafted in | 215790 | ||
Greetings and shalom Estabon, To Adam: Gen. 1:27-28 To Adam, Eve and the serpent: Gen. 3:8-19 To Abram: Gen. 17:1 To Abram and Sarai: Gen. 18:11-15 To Moses per God Himself: Num.12:6-8 to start. There are other instances but mostly it's stated as the Angel of the Lord who appears or speaks, and there are debates as to who or what this Angel verses angel might be. |

Greetings Doc, Just thinking logically will reveal the error in that statement. An act cannot be selfless if one is viewing a reward, of any size or significance. Biblically, we have Psa. 119:105-106 plus Matt. 5:14 and 16. equals Eph. 5:1-2. |

Shalom 4runner, I don't think I understand what you're wanting to know, could you expound a little bit? A bit of clarification would be helpful. I will give it a try, tho: Rom 8:28 and Yeshua/Jesus should be self-explanitory - no Savior, no salvation Joseph (Israel's son?) he was sold into slavery to end up saving both Egypt and the small clan that was destined to be the people of God and the progenitors of Messiah. Moses - was the mediator between God and the children of Israel, he was given the task of bringing them out of Egypt and helping them grow into a nation. Jeremiah - quite frankly, I haven't a clue |

Vintage, Shalom. Usually the person asking a homework question doesn't use enough common sense to disguise it as something he/she wants to know. The question from 4runner was so confusing it seemed like it was a bonifide query. :o) |

Shalom Bpayne, Studying the Bible can be a daunting project, especially if it is a required course, and not something you've chosen to do. I don't think anyone here would be adverse to having the original question, the student's personal efforts on the question and a plea for help putting all the information together in a coherent way. I, personally, have no problem helping a student polish up their research and final conclusions. But as far as actually doing someone's homework, I've already put in my time :o) |

Greetings FTK, Please reread your Bible. You have had some very, very, very bad, bad teaching. What's sad is when the trials and testings come, and they will, I fear you will crumble underneath them because they don't feel good at all. Feelings very rarely should be the basis for doing anything; they are weak, usually false, and very deceitful. :o( |

16 | Feeling bad for sins of others | Ezekiel | grafted in | 215373 | ||
Greeting Rajeeb, Yes, it is right to feel bad when you see someone doing something wrong. There is a passage in Ezekeil (22:29-30) that paints a picture of him standing in the gap between God and the wrongdoer and praying for the wrongdoer at a time when he can't pray for himself. That's called intercession. Moses did that on a continuous, daily basis for the Israelites who were always messing up! Also read Ezekiel 18:19-31. |

17 | Who then is on this broad way? | Matt 7:13 | grafted in | 217008 | ||
Hello WOS, If my name were William and I moved to Spain, I would expect to still be called William, NOT whatever the Spanish word for that name is. If I were from Israel and my name is Yardonna, here in the states I would still expect to be called Yardonna, not Jordonna. It has something to do with simple respect. Jesus is not His name. When you read the scriptures, you'll notice that more often than not, when someone or something or some place is named, it's given a specific name meaning a specific thing for a specific reason. Names were VERY important in Biblical times. Every time a person read the Hebrew scriptures and came to the word spelled yod shin vav ayin, they were calling on their Savior's name (which means salvation). It's the name God gave Him. I'm going to change it? Not me! |

18 | Who then is on this broad way? | Matt 7:13 | grafted in | 217016 | ||
WOS, Yes, He has many names and titles. But the name given Him at birth was and is Yeshua (a contraction of Yahoshua). You asked a question, I gave an answer. Simple dialogue. Of course not, not of lesser value. |

19 | Who then is on this broad way? | Matt 7:13 | grafted in | 217036 | ||
WOS, You are absolutely correct (except John is "Y"ochanan (no letter "J" in Hebrew, no J sound either, not even an equivalent). For one, I, personally use the Hebrew names for all the people (right down to pronouncing the name Eli as you would say El ie, Levi as Lehv ie), I use the Hebrew for the places too, such as Yerushalayim, Beitlechem, Gat Sh'manim, etc. To be perfectly honest, I actually began reading the names like that because it helps in relating to the actual times and places. It became later, just a simple act of respect. If you and I were to meet and you were introduced to me as Mike, my first question to you would be do you prefer to be called Mike or do you like to be called Michael? It's just something I do, I want to be respectful toward you. For all I would know, you might actually prefer Micky or some off-the-wall nickname that your friend knows nothing about (because he never bothered to ask). You might even be Jewish and prefer the Hebrew pronounciation of Meh chah el? Using the correct names still puts me in the relating mode, but I do it now more out of respect. After all, the scriptures are to the Hebrew first, then the Greek. I have a question in reverse. Why do you guys fight so hard against maybe learning something new? Reading through the threads, I, at least, would love it if someone who knew the real Greek name for Timothy (is it Timotheus?) or the other Greek people or some of the cities would slash in the correct word/pronunciation for it. Or the Roman. Or the people and places from the other cities of the OT. Isn't this a bible STUDY forum? Wouldn't that be a part of the study, not an extremely important part, granted, but a part nonetheless. The Hebrew words are not hard to say and putting the names back as they should be really does help put you in the culture you're reading about. (That's why I would like to know the actual names of the other people and places.) Try it, you might like it. But, please, don't fault me if you think my form of respect is stupid. I don't think that it is. And if I choose to use the name Yeshua, it is NOT against Sola Scriptura nor is it against TOU - it is His literal given (God-given) Hebrew name. :o) |
