101 | Is dressing like someone - submission | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 175287 | ||
virtuous5 - I know of no biblical command to dress as one's pastor dresses and talk as one's pastor talks. That's a curious question. What prompted it? --Hank | ||||||
102 | I came up wanting? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 176475 | ||
mkay18 - The phrase means to lack, to be deficient in or to be inadequate for. But how does this question relate to Scripture? Were you thinking of some particular passage of Scripture, such as the well-known rendering in the King James Bible of Daniel 5:27, "Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting."? I'm curious about two things: why won't your mom tell you the meaning of the phrase (assuming she knows), and are you at least 18 years old? --Hank | ||||||

Dear africas - Thanks for your question, but I'm afraid it is too cryptic to elicit a proper response from Forum members. Please resubmit it with less ambiguity and more clarity. --Hank | ||||||
104 | Emergent Church question | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 177231 | ||
MJH - The term "emerging (or emergent) church" is oxymoronic. The only time in history that the church of Jesus Christ can be said to have emerged (in the sense of "to become manifest") was on the Day of Pentecost as recorded in Acts 2. Your question has drawn a number of responses, but the subject is really too complex to be given anything approaching exhaustive treatment here. ..... I've done a considerable amount of reading on this "Emergent Church Movement" over the week-end and am prepared to posit that in general the movement, which is a brand of post-modernism, has a low view of Scripture and is not biblical on soteriology and eschatology. In my research efforts I came across an excellent article on the movement by Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr., president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. What follows are two links, the first to the article "What Should We Think of the Emerging Church?, Part 1, and the second link to Part 2 of the article. http://www.christianpost.com/article/20050629/6355.htm -- and -- http://www.christianpost.com/article/20050630/6356.htm Anyone interested in learning more about this movement should read this article. --Hank | ||||||
105 | MOTHER IS IGNORANT CONCERNING RELEGION | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 177310 | ||
KRISSEN - Post 448 written by Kalos back in 2001 treats of the issue of keeping the Sabbath. It is biblical, informative and excellently written by one of the Forum's most respected posters who, by the way, is still contributing to the Forum today. To read it simply type the number 448 in the search box. ..... As to your strained relationship with your mother, my advice is to honor her. She is your mother. See Exodus 20:12. Since you ask for honest advice, I advise you not to call your mother ignorant, not to anyone and certainly not on a public forum! This comes from a Christian man who is probably older than your mother. --Hank | ||||||

108 | Is it disrespectful to not use a title | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 177735 | ||
Bereaniam - My pastor (Southern Baptist Church) does not use the "title" of reverend. He signs his correspondence Brother Dale, and in church bulletins he is referred to simply as pastor. If I were addressing a priest, I would not call him father, nor the pope holy father. --Hank | ||||||
109 | Elders who cower to pastors | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 178813 | ||
Bereaniam - From your continuing reports, it sounds as though the church where you worship has more problems than a giraffe with strep throat! Don't you find it difficult to function as a Christian should in such an environment where you are in a more or less constant stew about how things are going? Have you considered looking for another church? It can be done. I did it. And found one, too! It was one of the few smart things I ever did. --Hank | ||||||

115 | Your Favorite, Best Quality Bible? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 179582 | ||
Dear "Taur" -- You indicated that you prefer the New King James Version in a translation. Nelson has the rights on that one and in my experience Nelson makes crummy stuff when it comes to printing and bindng of their Bibles. The pages are slapped together with glue, not stitched, and they tend to come apart in chunks after a fairly short period of use. I speak from personal experience. Oxford University Press offers a good quality genuine leather edition of the Scofield in the NKJV that you might wish to look at. ...... In my estimation the New American Standard Bible (NASB), 1995 Update, is among the very finest of translations of the Scriptures in modern English that is available today. What's more, the best quality printing and binding that I've seen in any Bible at any price is the NASB single-column reference edition covered in butter-soft calfskin leather (in black or burgundy) with Smythe-sewn binding. The print is clear and bold and set in an 11-point type font that makes it easy on the eyes. The paper is of exceptional quality with no annoying "bleed through" of the pages. It has thousands of side references and copious translators' notes, along with a good-sized concordance in the back of the volume. Beautiful to look at and a pleasure to hold in one's hand, this sturdy Bible is published by Foundation, which is a not-for-profit publisher owned by the Lockman Foundation. You can expect to pay a hundred dollars or more for this Bible, but it is worth every penny! You can order a copy from American Bible Sales which can be accessed from this web site. I am not an employee of Lockman, by the way; but I do recommend this Bible. And yes, I own one of them myself and it has become my favorite of all the others on my bookshelf ! --Hank | ||||||

119 | Which version to memorize | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 181578 | ||
Anotherview - I'd have to go along with my colleagues Doc and Kalos and say that merit lies in memorizing a translation more modern than the centuries-old King James Bible, although it saddens me to say so, because the King James is such a lovely rendering in English of the ancient manuscripts. But the aim of language is, above all, to convey the thoughts in the mind of the author to the mind of the reader as efficiently and as accurately as possible, and for most modern readers some of the modern translations are better vehicles for that now than the older models are. The King James once was a fresh new translation, but much has happened to the English language since 1611. Even before then, there was a time when Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" was easily understood by any literate reader of English, but the "Tales" in the original language of Chaucer is practically unreadable today without extensive training in the English that Chaucer knew. ...... So, having attempted to establish the need to use a modern translation for memorization (and peradventure, for reading and study also), we should address the question, "Which version from among an ever growing number of versions shall we choose?" I confess to a decided bias against the paraphrased versions (some of them call themselves dynamic equivalence versions, but they are all in some measure paraphased versions). Instead of translating as nearly as possible a transparency of the ancient manuscripts, that is, a word-for-word translation (e.g. NASB), the paraphrased (dynamic equivalence, e.g. NIv) versions attempt to convey in their versions a thought-for-thought "equivalence." That is to say, they presume to tell the reader what the author meant by what he said instead of telling him what the author actually did say. This method not only places on the translator an enmormous responsibility to "get it right," but it opens wide the gates of opportunity (if not actual temptation) for the translator to insert his bias, his opinion, and his own doctrinal points of view. Thus, I would never recommend that a paraphrased version be used for serious study and certainly not for memorization. This narrows the field considerably, because so many of the modern versions are nothing more than paraphrases, some wildly so. We then have remaining the NASB, NKJV, ESV and perhaps HCSB (Holman Christian Standard Bible). Of these the NKJV is the only one that follows the traditional text (sometimes referred to as Byzantine Text that largely supports the Textus Receptus) for its translation of the New Testament. The NKJV has preserved much of the flow as well as the poetic and literary qualities of the KJV. The ESV, a remake of the Revised Standard Version, is essentially a literal translation of excellent literary quality written in clear modern English that I find pleasing to read. The NASB is a fine translation, perhaps a shade or two more literal than either the NKJV or the ESV, but falls somewhat behind the NKJV and the ESV in literary quality. As for the HCSB, I'm not particularly keen on it personally, though I have nothing specific to say against it. Some of the turns of phrase just don't "float my boat," but that is merely my subjective feeling about the translation, nothing more. The language is generally contemporary and reasonably clear, but it simply doesn't stir me the way the old King James does, or to a slightly lesser degree, the way the New King James and the English Stanard and New American Standard versions do ...... I'm like Kalos in that I began my memorization efforts back when the KJV was really the only version in town, and I, being even older than Kalos, have traveled much too far down the pike to think of trying to convince my reluctant little gray brain cells that it's time for them to clean house of all the King James verses that they have faithfully filed away for so long a time and begin the formidable task of replacing them with another version. I should be most unwise to ask them to undertake so prodigious an enterprise, for fear that they would rise up in sheer protest and refuse to function at all! ..... I believe the Bible and the Bible says (in the King James Version, by the way), "Thy word have I hid in mine heart that I might not sin against thee" (Psalm 119:11). Therefore it not only behooves the follower of Jesus Christ to store up as much of the word of God as possible in his memory, but it is also one of the exquisite joys of life to be able to recall portions of God's word and reflect upon them in times of laughter or tears, work or play. In good times or bad, sunny days or rainy days, God's precious word is always a treasure beyond measure. ..... I hope that the responses to your question will help you to select a translation for your memory work and spur you to begin a life-long journey of committing portions of God's word to memory. --Hank | ||||||
120 | Matt. 18 Mediation or Christian Hearing? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 181655 | ||
You inserted a great deal of material between your introductory "Before I ask my question" phrase and the end of your post, but I, like Kalos, can't find a question in your "question." However, from all the involved entanglements to which you refer, I rather think that this Forum is neither designed for or equipped to deal with these kinds of specific and obviously personal problems involving your church members, your pastor and you and your family. Having no knowledge of your church, its organization, denominational affiliation or polity or how it customarily handles disputes -- or even a clear picture of all the circumstances surrounding the crucible -- I find myself most reluctant to offer specific advice or suggest any solution. In my considered opinion it is inappropriate to ask and unrealistic to expect a Study Bible Forum such as this to provide a solution to this sort of thing. Such is not the aim and mission of Lockman's SBF. --Hank | ||||||
