1 | Why Is James Book So Different? | Not Specified | tumbleweed | 207289 | ||
Why is the book of James so different from the rest of the New Testament books? It seems to say some different things like about works and faith and talks alot about how to act, but it is nothing like Pauls's stuff, or Peter's stuff, or John's stuff. tumbleweed, God's Own |

2 | Saul Conjured up Prophesied from Dead? | 1 Sam 28:14 | tumbleweed | 207354 | ||
Steve I have trouble understanding whey bowler's use of the phrase just a worthless son is such a problem? How come you are judging appearances and likening him to a hypocrite who wants to be seen by men? Lots of people here have lots of catch phrases and words at the end of their posts, and no one seems to mind. I could be wrong, but I highly doubt bowler is trying to make a grand statement about his humbleness to get others to see how humble he is. Perhaps he is just trying not to be a know it all, as he seemed to say a ways back several times in various posts.

4 | Ezekiel's False Propheys Like Today? | Ezek 13:6 | tumbleweed | 207286 | ||
When Ezekiel talks about falsehood and lying and divination is that the same thing as people when they say, "the Lord told me this or that"? I know lots of people who say the Lord led them to do this or that, or the Lord told me this or that. Is that false prophesy, or is false prophesy something else? tumblweed, God's Own |

5 | Ezekiel's False Propheys Like Today? | Ezek 13:6 | tumbleweed | 207348 | ||
hopalong I appreciate your thoughts. I clearly understand what you are saying here, but I don't put any stock in what people tell me they have heard from God. My question is not about me. My question is not about a particular somebody else saying things they claim from God. My question is what did Ezekiel mean by false prohpets exactly and does that have any relation to when people claim to hear from God now? tumbleweed, God's Own |

8 | least in kingdom greater than John | Matt 11:11 | tumbleweed | 207464 | ||
france13 Psalm 22:6 But I am a worm and not a man, A reproach of men and despised by the people. This is a referrence to Jesus by David in the long Psalm showing the suffering of Jesus at the cross. This verse in Mathew 11:11 "Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.", clearly states that one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater that John the Bapist. Whoever that one is the scripture makes a difference between them and John the Baptist, so it cannot be referring to John the Baptist. I don't see how it could be referring to Jesus because Jesus is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, He is the king. That leaves the disciples of Jesus, all of them beyond the twelve. I believe that those who have the opportunity to come Jesus got into the kingdom on better promises as described in all of Hebrews, are those who are here in this verse, the one who is greater than John the Baptist. I think this verse is talking about the priveldge of the means by which on enters into the kingdom. How did John the Baptist get saved? By faith before Jesus came around, the same way Abraham, and Moses, and David did. But those who came into the kingdom of heaven after Jesus came around received the promises of a Messiah, a savior, a King, promises that those in the OT heard of but never saw. The Bible says those who are first shall be last, and those who are last shall be first. The people who all got saved under the OT were the first, the people who get saved under the NT were the last. John the Baptist was a very great man, but he comes from the first, regular folks who believed in Jesus and got in where the last. The first shall be last and the last shall be first. tumbleweed, God's Own |

bowler I have checked back on this post once in a while to see if anything more got said about different styles of Bible Study. I find this whole issue of how to study the Bible very interesting, and have been liking your posts, but especially this one. I would be very interested in some more about the expository style of Bible Study, if you could explain more that would be great. Also if you could explain some about exegesis that would be great too, although I think I know what that is. Ephesians 4:10 Trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. tumbleweed, God's Own |

11 | Jesus and Children as Paedobaptism? | Mark 10:14 | tumbleweed | 207347 | ||
Steve I thought bowler asked the first part as a question and was not making a supposition or speculation; "He seems to be saying, that children, at least in His day, were receiving the kingdom of God, were getting saved?" I don't understand how you see that as speculation, its a question. Then bowler asked ""How come then, we now do not permit children to be baptized?" It is a fact that there are many churches that do not baptize children before some age of accountablity which varies from church to church. I do not believe, we, referred to anyone on the forum, it seems that perhaps bowler was generalizing a bit about the word we. There are a lot of other people on the forum here and they seem to know a lot about various things in church history. How come then bowler would have to interact with a paedobaptist to get an answer? 1 Peter 3:8 To sum up, all of you be harmonius, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit. tumbleweed, God's Own |

12 | Why Luke 6:20 they ommited the word sipr | Luke 6:20 | tumbleweed | 207463 | ||
Dcmartin While looking at this passage I notice a couple of things. In Mathew it says Jesus came down the mountain. In Luke it says Jesus was on a level place - some Bibles say a plain, the NASB says a level place, the Strong's says a level place as in easy for the feet. This place in Luke could possibly be a place easy on the feet on a mountain. I did some looking, there were no mountains where Jesus was, around Galilee, only really big hills. It says in Mathew that there was a large crowd there from 4:2-5:1. It says in Luke that first Jesus was walking with the disciples through the grainfields during the day, then He was up all night praying. Then Jesus called the disciples together and called twelve. Then Jesus came down and a large crowd of disciples was there along with a great throng of people, then they were all trying to get healed. Next He starts preaching and everyone is still there the twelve, the large crowd of disciples, and the great throng. In Mathew you don't get the event of when the disciples were chosen, you just have a reference in chapter ten that He gathered them and gave them instructions. In Luke you get the actual event of when the twelve get chosen, which is right before the Sermon. I have heard it said that He was only preaching to the disciples, all of them, the twelve and the large group of disciples, because of Luke 6:20, but that would likely have been all of them the twelve plus. About your question directly - I agree with bowler that this is the same account from different sides. Luke seems to concentrate on the state of the poor on earth and makes a point of making a big difference between those who take the word of salvation and those who are happy in this life who also take advantage of others. Luke also speaks of persecution for follwoing Jesus without saying the word persecution. Mathew seems to concentrate on the spiritual state of those who are disciples, those who follow Him, and are persecuted for His sake. I think that Luke ommits the word spirit because he is concentrating on what the quality of life is like for those who believe, while Mathew puts it in because he is concentrating on the quality of the spirit of those who believe. tumbleweed, God's Own |

13 | Can someone help me find this please! | John 14:12 | tumbleweed | 207306 | ||
rbsuite There is a phrase "raising sparks" in the Jewish writings of the Kaballa. This is not a Christian concept. http://www.kabbalahsparks.com/about/index.php Early in the Creation process, vessels were created to hold some of the infinite Divine Light, and these vessels burst (by design) as a first step toward creating the universe and all that is in it. This bursting sent shards of the vessels and sparks of Divine Light all throughout the universe. These sparks of Light are intended to return to the Unity of the Creator and it is the human being’s mission to elevate these Holy Sparks through acts of devotion and lovingkindness, and through following the Commandments found throughout the Torah. Each Holy Spark that is raised by human actions of goodness or restraint from wickedness, inches the soul and the whole world forward on its journey back to Oneness with the Creator. http://www.aish.com/spirituality/kabbala101/Kabbala_1_-_What_Is_Kabbala dollar sign .asp The "data" or facts that Kabbalah deals with are the narrative of the Torah, and its entire body of religious law. The "researcher" represents a person who sees the laws and narrative as they are, understands their immediate meaning, but does not get the larger picture. The "great scientist" represents the Kabbalist who sees the various local points and then begins to get a feel for the greater picture. He needs metaphors to describe the abstract unity he perceives, and he is aware that this tool is likely to be vague and only approaching the understanding that he has acquired. Although limited by the tools at his disposal, the complex picture the great scientist communicates can still give us a sense of the reality that he is grappling with. And then there is the pseudo-Kabbalist -- "the eavesdropper" -- whose Kabbalah is basically unrelated to Torah, except perhaps as a springboard for his imagination. He has discovered "sources of energies," "divine emanations," and ways to "expand consciousness," but it all stems from his fanciful illusions. Genesis 1:1 - 3 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said, Let there be light; and there was light. The Bible said what really happened from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22 as to who God is and what and who man is made of; dust and made in His image. The Bible said it that settles it for me. tumbleweed, God's Own |

14 | Name of a woman builder in the Bible? | Acts 18:3 | tumbleweed | 207358 | ||
jep123 I heard of this concept before, that women could be construction workes based off what Priscilla did for a living. I have no comment on women being construciton workes, but think using the scripture below for that is lengthening the meaning of it out. Acts 18:3 and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and they were working, for by trade they were tent makers. Priscill and her husband Aquilla and Paul were all tent makers - builders of tents, places where people could maybe live, or store goods. These tents were not made out of canvass, but out of animal skins sowed together into tents - so they were all leather workers primarily. This may not be the reference you were looking for, but I couldn't find anything else and had heard of the idea before. I tried looking under trade, build, builder, but found nothing else with a woman. tumbleweed, God's Own |

15 | Full time ministry | Acts 26:16 | tumbleweed | 206893 | ||
Dear The-Burns-Twins Timothy comes to mind, he was young, but he was a minister if not more perhaps. The important thing is to have a good understanding of what God has called you to really do. This is not an easy task, many walk with Christ for a long time and still cannot claim to know exactly what they have been called to do other than be a worshipper and walk as a Christian. I don't make great claims to know much, but I was once given this verse and told to go pray on it. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. What I was asked to consider was that If I would first present my self as a living sacrifice, my mind would be transformed, and that my actions would prove what is acceptable and perfect. Then I was asked to consider verses 3-5 which makes a transition into each one being "alloted" a measure of faith, and that faith seems to have what to do with what function each one has in the body as in gifts. So then if you conform to Christ you will be transformed and given a measure of faith to do your gift - see verses 6 and 7. Somehow or another it is possible by walking in Christ that you will come to know what your gift is - you will prove what is accpetable and perfect. tumbleweed, God's Own |

18 | Which Books Which Journeys? | Gal 2:1 | tumbleweed | 206807 | ||
Steve I checked out the link, thank you for that. I found out a couple of things that might interest you by checking the link against information in the NASB introductions to books: According to the link Paul wrote Hebrews and the link bases this off Hebrews 10:34 which they say says, "ye had compassion of me in my bonds". The NASB says "For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfullly the seizure of your property". And has Hebrews as being written in 70 AD instead of 64-65 AD. The link leaves out Titus as one of four prison letters. The NASB lists Galatians as being written as 50 AD in the NASB Giant Print Edition page 1622. Then it list Galatians as being possibly written in 48-49 Ad on page 1650, while listing 1 Thessalonians as being written in 51 AD stating that 1 Thessalonians was written first by Paul. Very strange indeed. It is hard to put together the dates of what was written with when it was written in a chart. I have tried to do this several times and had to stop because there is so little accurate information about the real dates of the journeys. Thanks for the help. tumbleweed, God's Own |

19 | wrong and right to marry the person | Ephesians | tumbleweed | 206892 | ||
Dear John, I have trouble understanding part of what you said here. "We can be certain that God does not will unbelievers to marry, through we may see many instances". I am not sure what you mean, do you mean no unblelievers whould be getting married, or that unbelievers should no marry Christians? tumbleweed, God's Own |

20 | love everyone but do we have to like | Eph 4:2 | tumbleweed | 206889 | ||
jackie4321 It may not be possible for everyone to like everyone. But it is possible to love them in Christ Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. This Ephesians verse talks about tolerance. The sense seems to be that we are to put up with others and endure in love one another. Jesus says something interesting to Peter in John 21. Jesus and Peter are talking in verses 15 about shepherding and thier relationship. Jesus asks Peter twice if Peter Agapao Jesus - do you have a godly love for me. And Peter answers twice Lord I Phileo you - I have a brotherly love and affection for you. Then Jesus asks the third time but asks, Peter do you Phileo me - do you have brotherly love for me, and Peter is sad and says, Lord you know I Phileo you - I brotherly love you with affection. So there are two kinds of love, godly love, which comes from the power of God, and human love which comes from human abilities. Most of the time we are capable of human love, it takes the Spirit of God to be capable of godly love. blessings abound, bowler |
