I like most of it. The only problem is that I think that posts need to be removed if they are offensive, by whomever monitors this site. It could be what they think or if someone else sees a problem we need to let you and and you decide. | ||||||
10002 | Do all angels have wings? | Is 6:1 | Searcher56 | 5963 | ||
Maybe ... When angels appeared to Mary, Joesph, the shepherds, Balaam and others ... it does not say they had wings (it doe not say they did not). | ||||||
10003 | Three way split? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 5960 | ||
You said, "Every part of Scripture meant something to the original audience." There are examples of interpetation, like Daniel 8. But, in the previous chapter, the four beasts were not explained. Daniel was wondering about the 10 horns. Dis it mean something to him ... or his readers until the Roman Empire was divided into 10 sections? Steve |

10004 | Is the United States in the Bible? | Dan 7:4 | Searcher56 | 5957 | ||
Sorry for the confusion. Notice I say "IF" ... which means I do not believe the passage refers to the US / UK. I would want to know what those who say it does would say to the wings being plucked, etc. |

10005 | Is the United States in the Bible? | Dan 7:4 | Searcher56 | 5953 | ||
The Lion: Symbol of Babylon. Lions were at the gates of the city of Babylon. The Babylonians represented themselves with a lion The winged lion which was often depicted on ancient Babylonian sculptures. If this refers to Great Britian and the United States, note the wings are plucked. So what happens to the US. Then what happens to the lion? Read Daniel 4:33-37 to see the story of Nebuchadnezzar. The Bear raised on one side: Symbol of the Medio-Persian empire. The Median empire conquered the Babylonians and the Persians were friends of the Medes. But later the Persians became more powerful. This is the meaning of the bear raised on one side, two powers in one empire, but one is greater than the other. The three bones in the bear's mouth (v5) are the three places that the Medio-Persians conquered: Babylon, Assyria, and Egypt. Look at Daniel 8:3-4 Here he describes a Ram with two horns, but one horn is longer than the other. The shorter horn represents the Medians and the longer horn represents the Persians. It tells us the Ram goes north, west, and south. This again represents the three places the Medes conquered: West of the Medes is Egypt, north is Assyria, and south is Babylon. In Daniel 8:20 the bible interprets the vision of the Ram. Here we can see that the Bible actually interprets itself. The Leopard with four wings and four heads: Symbol of Greece. After the Medio-Persian empire, Alexander the Great of Greece conquered the entire area. He conquered the area veryquickly, so a fast leopard with wings is a good symbol. Alexander of Greece, died at young age after conquering. His kingdom was given to 4 of his generals that took 4 areas. Lycemicus (Greece), Cassander (Macedonia), Ptolomy (Egypt), Selucus (Syria). The terrible beast: Symbol of Rome. Rome was divided into ten kingdoms: Alamanni, Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Franks, Vandals, Suevi, Burgundians, Heruli, Anglo-Saxon, and Lombards. Seven of the countries still exist in Europe today. There are three visions of kingdoms by Daniel and they fit together: Dan 2..........Dan 7.....Dan 8...Kingdom Gold Head......Eagle.............Babylon Silver Breast..Bear......Ram.....Medo-Persia Brass Thighs...Leopard...Goat....Greece Iron Legs......Dreadful..........Rome Iron/Clay Feet...................Future(?) Remember let the Bible speak for itself, don't make it fit to your view. Steve |

10008 | Difference between exegesis/eisogesis?i | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 5894 | ||
Eisogesis reading into the text, rather than approaching the text with inductive principles. This is probably the most common (and dangerous) error of casual Bible students. It is even the error of many well-known evangelists. This means that a person approaches the Scripture with a pre-conceived idea and uses the Scripture to prove their point, even if the Scriptures have to be "bent" to make them fit. The exegesis of Scripture, which means allowing the truth to come out of the text without the filter of our own ideas. This means we approach to the Scriptures to learn what they say and mean, not to prove our own point. Steve |

10009 | Difference between exegesis/eisogesis?i | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 5892 | ||
I think they are opposites. I don't know Greek very well. ex (or ek) means out of, from, by, away from eis means into, unto, to, towards, for, among |

10010 | Biblical support for animals in heaven? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 5887 | ||
They were not in heaven before creation. As I read the creation account, the only replication is man. Man is unique, by having a soul. So, I do not think animals will be in heaven. Steve |

10011 | earth 6-10000 years old | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 5826 | ||
By looking at the time of birth of the sons. Seth was born when Adam was 130 (Gen. 5:3), Enosh was borh when Seth was 105 (vs. 6) ... This section is until Noah. Then there are other OT passages that give the other birth years. So it is figured that Adam was created in 4004 B.C. Steve |

10012 | Is forgiveness hard? | Job 36:5 | Searcher56 | 5822 | ||
Job 36:5 is about God's power means His purpose will be accomplished. While the verses that follow (6-10) God does punish the wicked and reward the righteous, it does not deal with forgiveness. The rest of the chapter may, but it is toward God. Ye, forgiving is hard. We want to keep the other person in our debtor's prison. But, that means we are responisble for them. Plus, they may not care that you do not forgive them. Steve |

10013 | In what year the exile took place ? | 1 Chr 5:26 | Searcher56 | 5819 | ||
722 B.C. when the exile took place. 2 Kin. 17:5-6 is the cross-reference ... the siege lasted three years (724-722 B.C.) |
||||||
10014 | Is 1 John 1:9 applicable to Christians? | 1 John 1:9 | Searcher56 | 3925 | ||
Yes ... We still need to ask for forgiveness. Look at the context. Verse 8 says if WE say we are without sin, WE decieve ourselves and the truth is not in US. Verse 10 says we make Him out to be a liar. Chapter 2 carries on the thought that started in verse 6. David knew sin was a barrier to his relationship with God (Psa 51). Also read Psa. 143:1, Jer. 31:34, Zec. 8:8, Mic. 7:18-20, Heb. 10:22-23 ... and Mat. 6:12, 14-15. While He forgave all our the first time we confess our sins, which is for salvation, sin is a barrier to fellowship. I have forgiven people, like Stephen did, even before they ask. But, they still must ask for forgiveness to restore the relationship. Steve |

10015 | Foolish controversies worthless? | Titus 3:9 | Searcher56 | 5731 | ||
Debating minor issues like the mode of baptism, where it causes problems in the family. Other items include, eating meat offered to idols, drinking, smoking, color of the carpet, placement of the pulpit, type of music ... all which have caused church splits are foolish controversies. While I have my views on these and will share them, when asked, I should never carry on. I need to accept what you think. One day we will find out who is right, if anyone. Steve |

10016 | A divorced pastor in ministry? | 1 Tim 3:2 | Searcher56 | 5729 | ||
No. Husband of one wife is very clear. Read the context (vv. 1-7) for other qualifications. | ||||||
10017 | The baptizer also immersed? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 5721 | ||
I do know what immersion is. The church I now attend, only the one getting baptized is in the water. The other one is on dry land, separated by a low wall. I grew up in a Baptist church. The way I read Acts 8, I see that both went into the water and came out ... and it does not say there was any immersion, dunking or dipping. We do not know how deep the water was. How do you answer Mark 7:4, Luke 11:38, Hebrews 9:10? Read that post. About the OT in the NT ... there are many examples, and I think this includes baptism. I think immersion is okay. But, if you are in a desert (with no name) and you only had a cup full of water, could you be baptized? |

10018 | What will be left after the Tribulation? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 5716 | ||
Rev 20:1-6 is about the Millennium. Chapters 8-9 tell a third of everything will be destroyed. But, still there is plenty to rule over. Those who rebel will be like Eve and Adam who also had it great ... and believed the lie of Satan. I also see that while the Israelites promised to follow God in Joshua 24 ... the next generation rebelled (Jud. 2:10). So I think there will be rebels at the end of the Millennium. Steve |

10019 | Should music be allowed in church? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 5714 | ||
I did know the Church Of God says no music at all, or any church. Their emphasis is on singing the Psalms and other hymns based on the Scriptures. | ||||||
10020 | Should music be allowed in church? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 5711 | ||
To them it is a matter of principle rather than of expediency. They have sought out the correct answer to the all-important question: "Does Jesus Christ authorize the use of instruments of music in the worship of God?" From their investigation of the divine word, they have concluded that there is neither command, percept, nor example for this practice. See: Matthew 17:5; 28:18; John 14:26; 1 John 4:6. Every single New Testament reference to music in divine worship pertains to singing only: Acts 16:25; Romans 15:9; 1Corinthians 14:15; Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16; Hebrews 2:12; James 5:13. |
