Hi, I've been a Christian since I was young, but I only really dedicated my life to the Lord in earnest when I was 14. I've read the Bible straight through from Genesis to Revelation a few times. Now in my devotions I read through a book straight through. I am starting to feel that there is something more, like I need to get to more solid food. How do I study deeply? How do I get past simply reading the Bible. I do try and memorize some because I've been at AWANA at my church, but besides that? Jo |

Hi everyone! I'm still new to this forum, so please take the time to correct me in the rules if I err. I'm just a simple college student and although I'm pretty familiar with what's where in the Bible, I don't know any Greek or Hebrew and I don't know many of the terms. I read through the entire thread about what counts as immodest clothing that suddenly turned into a debate on the difference between when we first come to Christ and the lifetime of becoming more like him. I got lost so fast with words like "hermenutics" and "exegesis". I was wondering if someone knew a website or rescource that would explain these seminary-looking words in plain English. I am eager to learn from some of you but I can't keep up with the language. Thank you, Jo |

3 | Please pray for my friend? | Not Specified | winged1 | 132825 | ||
I've got a major prayer request. Please inform me if this is a misuse of the site, but this is a big part of my life right now. One of my good friends purposely overdosed on perscription drugs. He went to the hospital and he's OK. I've been talking to him, and he seems OK emotionally. I had an enormous discussioin with him about the things of God, during which I quoted several Bible verses, which I know will never return void. Please pray for his health, spiritually and emotionally. I'll take this down in a day or two. Jo |

4 | Medical synopsis of Jesus' death? | Not Specified | winged1 | 134293 | ||
Once in high school our Bible teacher showed us an article about the medical rundown of Jesus' injuries and cause of death on the cross. It was extremely to the fact and quite gruesome. It was based on common Roman execution practice at that time and the words of the gospels themselves. I wondered if anyone knows where I can find this again. I've tried asking my old teacher, but I can't get ahold of him. Jo |

Thank you Aaron and Country Girl as well. I am eighteen, by the way. I just mentioned that I was saved very young and did not become serious until later to illustrate the fact that I have an easy familiarity with what's where in the Bible. I've been going to a Christian school for seven years and this is my first year in a secular college. My trivia and data on the Bible are very extensive, but I feel that I know a little about everything and not a lot on any one thing. Thank you for your advice. I certainly am impressed by this site. I found it just recently via the Bible Gateway site. It will certianly be a help to me, I think. Too often here I feel that I am in a strange land, morally and religiously. Thanks again and God bless, Jo |

Thanks again to everyone who answered. I'll say it again, I'm eighteen. I'm sorry I was misleading. Since I posted the question, I've joined the girl's Bible study at my college. I praise the Lord for leading me to Christian peers in a secular, male-dominated school. Thank you for your prayers. Maybe I'll help some of you find an obscure verse someday, by the grace of God.

Thanks Tim! I think one problem with the thread I was reading, besides the long words, was misinterpretation. People are quick to take offense when they misunderstand something. Of course, that happens when all the communication is typed without body language to temper the words. So I pray that none of my questions or posts degenerate into massive nitpicking like I've seen a couple of so far. I'm open to correction at any point. I'm fallible, God is everything. Jo |

11 | who named the angels | Bible general Archive 2 | winged1 | 133447 | ||
Luke 1:26 "In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town is Galilee" Revelation 12:7 "And there was a great war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back" Gabriel's name comes from the Bible and not from human tradtition. So does Michael. Usually, Gabriel serves as a messenger whenever he is mentioned. Michael seems to be a general of some sort, but that's only my opinion. Hope this helps, God bless Jo |

13 | What prophet did this? | 2 Kin 4:41 | winged1 | 131472 | ||
Hey, jalanlambet, The prophet was Elisha. In my translation, (NIV), it says that it was a pot of stew and Elisha put some flour in and then there was no more poison. Of course, there wasn't anything particularly special about the flour, but God's power was at work. What's interesting though, is immediately following this story is a short account of Elisha mulitplying loaves of bread by God's power. Jesus' miracle of feeding the five thousand in the New Testament was not completely unprecedented. Hope I was a help. God bless Jo |

14 | Naming our Daughter question | 2 Chr 3:1 | winged1 | 131981 | ||
I know a little girl named Moriah, and it seems a perfectly lovely name. As long as you spell it with an "o", the old way, it won't be confused with some of the famous women who have the name. | ||||||
15 | Is Is.28:7-13 a prophecy? | Is 28:13 | winged1 | 133123 | ||
I was wondering if the passage Isaiah 28:7-13 could be prophecy for the habit of the Pharisees to include the traditions and interpretations of the law as part fo the law itself. It seems to say that the priests and teachers were drunken and negligent so that they allowed errors to creep into the law, misinterpretations and additions. So God teaches the people with commoners and foreigners. But he allows the addition of the law as a stumbling block to the foolish people who alloed it in the first place. Incidentally, how can we apply this passage today? God bless Jo |

16 | is the seed non-human? | Dan 2:43 | winged1 | 133599 | ||
Hey, BradK I don't know about Misty, but I would absolutely love to know the principles of Biblical Interpretation. Especially with some of my non-Christian friends pounding me on all sides saying things like, "how do you know it means that", or "how do you know that that law no longer applies", or "that's only your interpretation". Some guidelines would make it a little easier. God bless Jo |

17 | is the seed non-human? | Dan 2:43 | winged1 | 133699 | ||
I apologize, Misty. I did not mean to imply that you did not use a valid method for interpreting Scripture. BradK asked you a question and I jumped in, hoping for some information. I just wasnted to know if there was some commonly used methods of interpretation that I could use as a reference. Please forgive me for making it seem like you were not interested in interpreting the Bible correctly. I know that no interpretation made by fallen man will be perfect. God bless Jo |

18 | Why did the Savior Dread the Cup? | Matt 26:38 | winged1 | 133216 | ||
Very well put. I found another passage that relates. Deut. 21:23 you must not leave his body on the tree overnight. Be sure to bury him that same day, because anyone who is hung on a tree is under God's curse. You must not desecrate the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance. I don't know what being judged by God is like (praise dear sweet Jesus) but He was judged with God's full wrath for the sins of the world. If earthquakes, hurricanes, and hailstorms are part of God's wrath, His full wrath must be unbearable, even if we did not see it other than in Jesus' anguish. In fact, Jesus was the only one who could bear it and rise again. God bless all Jo |

19 | Who is Mary Magdalene? | Luke 7:37 | winged1 | 131482 | ||
Hey JoAnn So far, I have only found two instances of Jesus' feet being anointed with expensive oil or perfume, and neither was done by Mary Magdalene. The first was in Luke 7:37-50. Jesus and His disciples are invited to Simon the pharisee's house for dinner. While they are there, a woman the NIV describes only as "a women who had lived a sinful life in that town" comes in. By all accounts I've heard, she was probably a prostitute. She brought with her an alabaster jar of perfume. She wet his feet with her tears, died them with her hair and poured perfume on them. In the custom of that day, guests were greeted with a kiss on the cheek, water to wash their feet, and a little oil for their head. Simon apparantly did none of these, but the woman did. She did more because she had been forgiven of more. At the end of the story, Jesus says that her faith saved her. The second instance comes from John 12:1-8. This happens after Jesus brought Lazarus back to life and right before the Triumphal entry. This was six days before Jesus was crucified. He and his disciples are staying at the house of the siblings Mary, Martha, and Lazarus in Bethany. While they are there, Mary takes a pint of nard, a kind of perfume, pours it on Jesus' feet and wipes them with her hair. The scent of the perfume fills the house. When Judas grumbles about the expense, Jesus afirms her action, saying that it is in preparation for his burial, when the body is embalmed with spices and perfumes. There very well be at least one more incident like this, but right now, I don't think so. The gospels are very confusing on these things since there are perhaps four or five different Marys mentioned. However, if you just look through each case or perhaps made a list to sort out who did what, it might help. God bless Jo |

20 | Who is Mary Magdalene? | Luke 7:37 | winged1 | 131600 | ||
John 8:1-11 I have some more passages. I have found the passage of the woman about to be stoned. The NIV calls her simply a "woman caught in the act of adultery". I'm sorry that, so far, I've only told you who isn't Mary Magdalene. There is a passage in Luke I think that lists some of the women who went with Jesus and the disciples and helped them. Mary Magdalene is listed amoung them. The one place I'm certain she is named is John 20:1-18 and the corresponding passages in the other Gospels. Mary Magdalene visits Jesus' tomb and finds the stone rolled away, so runs back to tell Peter and John. After they leave, she stays in the garden and Jesus appears to her and talks with her. She then tells the disciples who see Jesus a day or two later. There may be other times when Mary Magdalene is mentioned, but these are the ones I have found. I hope that this is a help. God bless Jo |
