2 | I have a research question. | Not Specified | kw5kw | 163445 | ||
I'm reading a lot, but I don't understand some of the footnoting. I know that cf. means to 'see' or 'refer to' and what the other common things such as ibid and opcit. But, what does the f. mean in a passage that I'm reading like this: "The real conflict came between James' faction and Paul's followers, who may have been more liberal than James (note Gal. 2:4f.)..." (from "Illustrated Manners and Customs of the Bible" page 395c ((upper R.H. quadrant of the page like Strong's refers to Thayer's Lexicon.)) In some cases there's just an f. some there's an ff and sometimes it seems that there's other letters used as well. Could somebody please shed some light on this for me. Thanks, Russ |

6 | related but different | Bible general Archive 3 | kw5kw | 163514 | ||
Greetings Kalos and thanks!!!! Now... one more, if I may: I'm reading and I come across this: Bk. Ch. vv. b or c (not f or ff). Does this refrence the second portion (or third) of the verse? This is what I'm taking it to mean. Do I indeed have it correct? |

7 | Can a man be with another man | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 122784 | ||
Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. Leviticus 20:13 If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. And Romans 1: 18 to end -- paying attenion to v27 God's Wrath on Unrighteousness 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. 24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them. |

8 | NIV bible | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 139857 | ||
To me it's much easier to read and understand than the KJV (AV). As an example here are two completely random verses, I just opened my KJV and this is what I saw: Luke X:8 (KJV) "And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: Here is the corresponding NIV version: Luke X:8 (NIV) " When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is set before you. The NIV is just easier to read. It has been translated into "modern" English, and not the "Kings English" of the early 17th century. Phrases such as: "Verily, Verily I say unto you..." and puts them into the modern: "I tell you the truth..." Hope this helps Russ |

9 | NIV bible | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 140073 | ||
Thanks for the welcome. I, personally, do read the NIV, now. It helps me understand in today's language, without getting lost in the language structure of the early 17th century. However, I do miss the KJV(AV) and all of the "shall not's, Thou's, wherefore's", etc. I read and compare between the NIV, KJV(AV), and the paraphrased NASB. I'm looking forward to getting another version (a real book, not off of the web) and reading it thru. Reading a different version each year might be a really good ambition for some people. Hmmm, I think I'll bring that up in my Sunday School Class this comming week. We're going to try and get a group together to read it in a year, and a different translation might add some extra insite not already gained. I might add, that unless you understand the original language that the particular book was written in, they're all translations. Each and every one of them! I don't understand Greek, or Hebrew, or any language other than English. I do feel however that God's hand has guided the pens (minds) of the translators, all of them. Each version does it's own good and will reach a group of people to be saved. Amen. Russ |

I missed up... For Paraphrased I meant the New Living Letters, for conventional I meant the NASB. I mistyped and mis-proofread. I knew what I wanted to say, It just didn't come out that way. I humbly appologize. My God bless. Russ |

11 | Is Gambling Wrong? | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 140730 | ||
Lot’s, as gambling was called in the Bible, is mentioned 24 times using a Strong’s Search at Blueletterbible.org. Without listing all of them, but here are but a few: Lev 16:8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. Jos 18:6 Ye shall therefore describe the land [into] seven parts, and bring [the description] hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God. Neh 10:34 And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring [it] into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as [it is] written in the law: Psa 22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. Mat 27:35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. Mar 15:24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. Luk 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. Jhn 19:24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. and finally the deciples cast their own lots to decide who the replacement for Judas was to be: Act 1:26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. The casting of lots is indeed Biblical, and not frowned upon by God. Habitual gambling however, is, as it can come between you and your Lord. Even I enjoy playing a game of cards myself here and there, but, I do not put playing a game above my Lord. Any game, chess, checkers, cards, dice, doesn't matter, if you don't know the outcome beforehand is essentially a gamble after all. My original thoughts. Russ |

12 | Scriptural support? | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 140740 | ||
A symbol that shows your belief in God and Jesus, I feel, is ok. You are not worshiping the symbol. The symbol, wither it a cross or a fish, is just allowing others to assertain that you are indeed a Christian, and that you beleive strongly enough that you want others to know. After all, all Christian demoninations have been using the cross as a symbol for 2000 years now. Statues, however, should be advoided at all costs. Acts 17:16 - 34. I'm still unsure about pictures (of God or Jesus) in the home, ok to look at in museums I guess. Movies such as 'the 10 Commandments', ok to watch, not to worship the movie. Art (pictues and movies) can be a wonderful teaching tool if used correctly. My humble opinion, for what it's worth. Russ |

Brother Tim, Of course, statues are all over. Idols are objects of worship. You can have a statue of Jesus, if you don't worship the statue then it's ok. But, once you start worshiping the statue, it becomes an idol. You worship Jesus our Lord the Christ, not the statue of Jesus. It can't do anything for you. Russ |

14 | Why God allows such tragedy | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 140844 | ||
God does not give us the answer to every question, although you can be shure he has a purpose in (reason for) everything that happens, either good or bad. Look at Job. Prosperous he was, he had all that he could want. He had large loving family, property, posessions. When Satin took it ALL away (with God's permission), did he curse God? No, he continued with praises. God was so pleased with Job, that he gave Job twice all that he had taken away. Job 42:10-17. So, I cannot answer why, no one can. But, you can be sure, there is ultimately a very devine reason. |

15 | Which book in the Bible do I commence | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 141388 | ||
It might not be the book of the Bible that you’re having trouble with as much as the language of the interpretation that you’re using. The King James Version used the language of the time of the translation, i.e. 1611. To me it is hard to understand at first. Although, it’s what I grew up with in church. It’s probably the reason I could never read the Bible. I’d read it on Sundays, and put it down through the rest of the week. I could never get past all the thee’s, thou’s, shaltnot’s and wherefore’s.” We were given a paraphrased Living Bible when we were married by my mother-in-law. I never could read it either. It just wasn’t the Bible to me. Then came the NIV. They put the Bible into today’s language and I could understand it. I picked it up and haven’t put it down since. Now, I have 2 different study Bibles in NIV. One different reference bible in NIV. A 'standard' Holy Bible in KJV, a reference Bible in KJV. A copy of the Net Bible with it's study notes. I also have the Living Letters translation that puts still a different light on the words as well. I use the web, currently, to access the other translations that I don't have in print form. So, you might try a different version of the Bible. Try on the web. NASB is here on this site. http://www.blueletterbible.org/ is another site that offers a more 'literal' version such as KJV or NASB. The English Standard Version can be found here: http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/browse/ . The Net Bible, an entirely different translation, can be found here: http://www.bible.org/default.asp . This site has a bunch of study materials just like the blueletterbible.org site. The Net Bible is very close to the NIV, but still a bit different. For beginning Bible readers, I would right now highly recommend the Daily Study Bible from Zondervan publishing. Either in the NIV (recommended for readability in today's English ( you can see it at: http://www.zondervanbibles.com/0310919797.htm )) or the KJV. Personally, I feel that you can't have too many translations. What one doesn't make clear, a slightly different viewpoint, or wording of a passage might bring the passage into the light and make it clear for you to understand. I hope this helps. Russ |

16 | who's the 1st female to commit adultry? | Bible general Archive 2 | kw5kw | 141930 | ||
The word 'wickedness' is usually considered to be linked with sexual perversion. So while the names of the people, in the rest of the wicked world, at the times of Noah's flood are unknown of, the world was destroyed because of how 'wicked' the people had become (Genesis chapter 6 verse 5) (Sodom was destroyed because of sexual wickedness (Genesis chapter 19). Verses 4 and 5 describe the wickedness. Verse 7 Lot says "No, my friends. Don't do this 'wicked' thing.") But, that doesn't tell us who the first female was to commit adultry. So we have to consider one of the following two. Hagar or Lot's daughters. Sari sent Hagar to lie with Abram (Genesis 16: 1-4) would be the first recorded instance that I know of. While Lot's daughters got Lot drunk and took advantage of the situation (Genesis 19:30-36) Now in those days of the OT it is recorded in many, many places where it was the custom for men to have many wives. That might just allow Hagar 'off the hook' as we in the modern world might say it. I can't answer that question, only God, who was there, could answer that question. (He's everywhere. Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.) That would then let the hammer fall on the unnamed daughters of Lot. (At least in the verses I quoted they are not named. At some place where there is a bunch of genology, I sometimes have a hard time reading reading them, but instead I skip over it. Maybe Hank could clue me in if I'm wrong here.) |

I see it this way... wisdom is to knowledge as faith is to belief... You can know rocket science, but if you don't have the wisdom on how to apply that knowledge, then your rocket blows up. Proverbs 1:4 for giving prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young -- 5 let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance 6 for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise. 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge but fools despise wisdom and discipline. ... 29 since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the Lord, 30 since they would not accept my advise and spurned my rebuke, 31 they will eat the fruit fo their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes. Proverbs 2:6 for the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. ... 10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasent to your soul. 11 Discretion will protect you and understanding will guard you. 12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men... Proverbs 3:13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding. Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice. NIV You can believe in the Bible, you can see it, you can touch it, you can read it. But, in order to be saved you must have faith in Jesus. Have faith that he died on the cross for your salvation. Faith in the Blood of Christ for redemption. For instance... Did Able beleive in God? You bet he did, but Abel by faith offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. Hebrews 11:4 Did Noah beleive in God? You bet he did, but he had faith to beleive what God told him and build the ark (Genesis 6 thru 9) and therefore saving himself and his family from the flood. Did Abraham beleive in God? You bet he did, but he had faith that God would supply a sacrifice in place of his only son Isaac. (Genesis 22) Did Shadrack, Meshach and Abednego beleive in God? You bet they did, but they had faith in God and therefore they escaped the firey furnace. (Daniel 3) And there are many many more examples in the bible. Job, David vs. Goliath, Daniel in the lions den. The centurion's faith that Jesus would heal his son (Matthew 8:5-13). The list goes on and on and on. You can beleive in a lot of things, but you must have faith in God in order to be fully saved. |

Greetings Kalos Deuteronomy 32:51 This is because both of you broke faith with me in the presence of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh in the Desert of Zin and because you did not uphold my holiness among the Israelites. 1 Samuel 14:33 Then someone said to Saul, "Look, the men are sinning against the LORD by eating meat that has blood in it." "You have broken faith," he said. "Roll a large stone over here at once." 2 Chronicles 20:20 Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful." Isaiah 26:2 Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps faith. Habakkuk 2:4 "See, he is puffed up; his desires are not upright- but the righteous will live by his faith Malachi 2:16 "I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel, "and I hate a man's covering himself [ Or his wife ] with violence as well as with his garment," says the LORD Almighty. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith. Matthew 8:10 When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, “I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. Matthew 8:26 He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. Matthew 9:2 Some men brought to him a paralytic, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.” Matthew 9:22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that moment. Matthew 9:29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you”; Matthew 14:31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” Matthew 17:20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” [ Some manuscripts you. 21 But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.] Mark 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Mark 4:40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” Mark 5:34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” Mark 11:22 “Have [ Some early manuscripts If you have] faith in God,” Jesus answered. Mark 16:14 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen. Luke 5:20 When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.” Luke 17:5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” John 12:11 for on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and putting their faith in him. |
