1 | Chapters and verses, how determined? | Not Specified | janet | 17783 | ||
Can anyone please tell me who and how it was determined to make the divisions in the books of the Bible, more specifically, the chapters and the verses. I have seen divisions in the middle of sentences as well as chapters. I had a teen ask me this and I just did not know how to answer the question. Thank you very much for the wonderful help I have received from this forum not only in this question but in answers you have provided to other people which have helped me. | ||||||
2 | What happened to these cities? | Not Specified | janet | 30814 | ||
Hello. Would someone happen to know how the cities of Chorazin (Korazin), Bethsaida, and/or Capernaum met their end. I've been able to determine that the ruins of Bethsaida and Capernaum still exist but am unable to find anything specific. I am assuming no other towns have been built in either place, is that correct? Also,I have been unable to find anything at all on Chorazin (Korazin), did it also come to ruin or change names? I'm really curious because Jesus denounced them and (Matt 11:21,23) now they are in ruins (I'm not surprised, understand, I'm just curious if they met their end through forces of nature, politcal happenings, or through decay, etc. etc.) I sure would appreciate some input from someone, and if the information is to lengthy, would you be able to give me some sources? Thanks alot!! Love this forum and all the knowledge and information that is available. | ||||||

5 | A pastor who is there? | NT general Archive 1 | janet | 11766 | ||
I agree with Hank because I experienced something similar, but not completely. I had been attending a small church for well over a dozen or so years. I really was quite happy being there, everyone was like family. I loved watching children grow into teens, and the teens grow-up and get married and start families. When there was tough times, sickness, or death, the church family was there giving enormous support. It was very comforting and comfortable. That is why I was very surprised when I felt God leading me to a really big church. I could not understand it, I liked where I was and I loved the people. But He made it very clear to me that He wanted me to start attending this other church. I questioned Him alot. I even bulked at obeying Him, I was very confused and I, at first, refused. I told Him, that I would not be comfortable in such a big church because I would feel so lost, so unattached, I told Him I needed a church family". He very clearly asked me something that kind of floored me. He asked me what I thought heaven was going to be like...He made me realize that heaven is going to be very big with a big "family". I obeyed Him. I love my new church. I have grown spiritually by leaps and bounds in ways that I could have only done at this church under this particular shepherd who is teaching me so much of God's Word. I have seen more souls saved (praise God!)in the relatively short time I've attended the big church then I ever did the smaller church (in fact, at the smaller church, there was rarely alter calls). In addition, I am now in another "family" that is growing the more I get involved. My spiritual needs are being met in ways that I would never have imagined possible. Now please do not misunderstand me, I am not making a stand for big churches over little churches. What I am stating, however, is that we need to go where God wants us to be because He alone knows where we will grow. There is afterall only one "Church" and He is the shepherd. There may be many camps, with different heavenly assignments, but there is only one church. One other point. When I moved on to the other church, I was very hurt and confused with the way some of the people from the small "church" family treated me. They more or less "shunned" me (but many did not). Point: If someone you know feels the leading to change churches, accept it, understand they are being obedient and don't make it difficult for them, and most especially don't stop loving them. |

10 | Please pray for Fred | Psalm | janet | 30969 | ||
Shadow, Fred will also be in our family's prayers. We have also experienced the sadness brought by cancer...too many times. God has blessed Fred with good friends who enlarge the prayer circle. Stay strong in your prayers. I clearly remember how very comforting our church family was during those times. God bless you...Janet | ||||||
11 | Where is Valley of Jehoshaphat? | Joel 3:2 | janet | 176084 | ||
Can someone tell me where the Valley of Jehoshaphat (Valley of Decsion)is? Is it still named the same in today's maps? I'm having a difficult time trying to locate a good map. Are there maps that compare today's names with the Old Testament names? If so, can you please give me sites? Thank you! | ||||||

Nolan, Thanks so much for your quick response. This is frustrating! I really am curious what happened to those cities, but I realize that I can't keep spinning my wheels, so to speak, taking a lot of time searching for this. I do know one thing. God has a way of revealing answers when he wants us to know. So, if you happen to run across something in all the research you do, please let me know, I sure would appreciate it and I will do the same. God bless you...Janet | ||||||
14 | What happened to these cities? | Matt 11:21 | janet | 31037 | ||
Tim, Thanks for your input. You gave me some really good information that I had not found before. I'm trying to find out why these cities became deserted and ruined. Jesus told them, He warned them, denounced them, upbraided them. Obviously, they did not listen to Him. I realize sin was the ultimate reason for their demise. However, I guess I was looking for something more specific; you know, were they overthrown; was there disease; did the cities just start to decay so the people left; maybe unemployment; was it an act of nature, earthquake, flood, bugs (euk), etc. That is the kind of information I would like to find. I'm just curious. If I'm to know, God will show me. If you happen to come across something, keep me in mind. It's kind of funny, this morning, during my devotions, I came across: "I said I would scatter them and blot out their memory from mankind." (Deut 32:26, NIV) Possibly, this is what has happened. Jesus warned them, they refused to listen, and what Jesus warned them about happened. They were rebellious, thought themselves high and mighty...better then God; and now...because of their offenses and hard hearteness they have ceased to be and are not even remembered. Ahhhhh, possibly that is the lesson. But, gee, I really would like to know how. Maybe it is because I was a youth leader for so many years and I always was confronted with "Well, why???", so when I did lessons I tried to cover all the basis. Some answers come with time. Thanks again for your input! I love this forum!! God bless you! Janet |

CDBJ, Thanks for your help. Do you happen to know how these cities met their demise? I know it was as a result of their sin. But how? Was it earthquate? Disease? War? Would you happen to have any information on that? Thanks again for your help. God bless you. Janet |

Nolan, You and your dad will connect again. Your dad will come to realize what an intelligent son he has raised. Sounds like both of you are very serious about our Lord and not only have a hunger for His Word but have a very strong desire to see that His Word is not miscontrued in any way that may hinder others in finding their way to Him. Just remember, God did not intend for his Word to be a battle ground for believers. When we battle amongst ourselves, that takes time away from spreading the good news to others who need to hear it. I do have to admit though, that I have found myself in both camps (the "Camp of the Rebellious" as well as the "Camp of the Stubborn"). I've battled whatever the opposing side happened to be most vehemently because I thought I was right. And, do you know what? Almost everytime I learned that there were areas I was right and areas I was wrong (we won't mention those times that I was totally and completely wrong, o.k.?). But the point is, I always learned something new. Whether it was learning that part of my point was right or learning that I was wrong, I learned something. That made me grow. It also made be respect and admire my opponent. Well!!! Enough of all that. Stay strong. God will definetly get you two together. I know He will because your dad has all those incredible reference books and you will find out what happened to those cities. :) God bless and keep you and your dad. Janet |

Thanks Tim! I'm still learning the capabilities of the internet, I'm still a novice. Thanks for the suggestion...Also, if you are interested, Paul (aka "look4") gave me some really interesting internet suggestions in his response dated 01/19/02,5:28 pm I'm so delighted with everyone's help. I will be very busy. Thanks...Janet | ||||||

CDBJ, Thanks for your information. I think the last part of it was lost because the last sentence ended like: "...which touched the lake shore at ", was there more? Also, if you are interested in this subject, Paul (aka "look4") gave some interesting looking internet suggestions in his note dated 01-19-02, 5:28 pm They really look good. Thanks again...Janet |

Nolan, Your notes indicate that you love the internet. I'm really just learning it. Anyway, I thought you would be interested in some sites that Paul (aka "look4") gave in his response dated 01-19-02, 5:28 pm They really look interestng and I thought you might like to try them. Check it out! I don't want to copy them in this note for fear that I will not copy them correctly. God bless you ....Janet | ||||||
