102 | who chose the books of the bible | Bible general Archive 2 | JCrichton | 150476 | ||
Excerpts from www.barley.com (the Columbia Encyclopedia): The original Old Testament canon was the Septuagint, long used in the Greek-speaking church and still retained by the Orthodox churches. This Hellenistic Jewish translation originated with the translation of the Pentateuch in the mid-3d cent. B.C. Later translations were made from it or patterned after it. The canon of the Septuagint included the books of the later Hebrew canon, with the addition of several others, most of which were those now reckoned deuterocanonical by Roman Catholics and apocryphal by Protestants. Dispute over the canonicity of these books has its source in the Latin Bible, which found its official form in the Vulgate, the work of St. Jerome; this largely agreed with the list of books of the Septuagint, and the list and order of the Vulgate was the canon accepted by the Western Church of the Middle Ages. The 27 books of the New Testament represent only a portion of early Christian literature (see patristic literature). There are other gospels, epistles, narratives, and apocalypses among the Pseudepigrapha and in the Nag Hammadi corpus. The selection of books considered canonical, i.e., authoritative, evolved over the first four centuries of the Christian era. The first canon was compiled by the heretic Marcion in the mid-2d cent. Marcion accepted only the letters of Paul (though not Titus or First and Second Timothy) and a truncated version of the Gospel of St. Luke. The earliest extant orthodox list is the Muratorian canon (c.190 or possibly later), which contains most of the books finally accepted as canonical. There was, however, dispute for some time over seven books (Hebrews, James, Second Peter, Second and Third John, Jude, and Revelation) eventually included in the canon, and over others (including the letters of Ignatius of Antioch, First Clement, the Shepherd of Hermas, the Epistle of Barnabas (see Barnabas, Saint, and the Didache). The present New Testament canon appears for the first time in the Festal Letter of St. Athanasius (367). The criterion was that works written by an apostle or by a colleague of one could be trusted to preserve the authentic apostolic witness to Jesus. The traditional view has been that a canonical work must also be divinely inspired. All major Christian traditions use the same New Testament. Apocrypha (Gr.,-hidden things), term signifying a collection of early Jewish writings excluded from the canon of the Hebrew scriptures. It is not clear why the term was chosen. The Apocrypha include the following books and parts of books: First and Second Esdras; Tobit; Judith; the Additions to Esther; Wisdom of Solomon; Sirach (also called Ecclesiasticus); Baruch; the Letter of Jeremiah (in Baruch); parts of Daniel (the Prayer of Azariah and the Song of the Three Young Men; see also Bel and the Dragon and Susanna 1); First and Second Maccabees; the Prayer of Manasses (see Manasseh). All are included in the Septuagint, with the exception of 2 Esdras-4 Ezra. However, they were not included in the Hebrew canon (ratified c.A.D. 100). In 1566 the collection was deemed “deutero-canonical” by the Roman Catholic Church, meaning that their canonicity was recognized only after a period of time. Protestants follow Jewish tradition in regarding all these books as non-canonical. Jewish and Christian works resembling biblical books, but not included among the Apocrypha, are collected in the Pseudepigrapha. The term Apocrypha is sometimes applied to early Christian writings that were once considered canonical by some but are not in the New Testament. Hope this helps! God Bless! Angel |

103 | Whats the point? | Bible general Archive 2 | JCrichton | 150808 | ||
Hi, Katebote! I doubt that anyone here knows about a site that can produce miracles at will--though Jesus tells us that Satan will do just that... I don't think that anyone is afraid of having their feelings hurt... I think that most people on this forum are concerned with shearing the Holy Scripture as the Word of God... sadly, in order to understand this a person coming to this forum must be willing to learn that the Bible is not simply a collection of books, but God's own Word! If a person comes here looking to satisfy his/her curiosity by applying human terms and idologies they will simply get what they came in with--predetermined philosophies... for instance, hollow wood preaches that when evil threatens the world God uses the most wicked and vile people to rescue humanity... this of course is sacrilege as it denies Christ's Incarnation: the Just rescuing man from death; it is also a wonderful spin for all who pretend to want to be Christians yet continue a life of sin without remorse, repentance or obedience to God. You say you need to talk about the Bible in truth... however, this post attests to "your truth" not the Bible's... since you reject God as the Creator and Author by rejecting His Word as the exact Truth! Jesus is the Life and the Truth--where are you to go to find the truth if not in the persona of Christ? He is the one that made everything that exists... everything that exists was made by Him and for Him... He Commands us to Believe in Him and He will set us free (from anything and everything, including our finite understanding)... If you are looking for God's revelation to you in an all out shattering explosive exclusive... God is not interested... the Hebrews were rescued from Egypt way back when and no more is there need for the Red Sea to be parted... John the Baptist came and so did the Immanuel (Emmanuel) so there will be no further intervension from the Holy Spirit to create a new superior prophet (John) or for the Word to be incarnated... Humble yourself to God and He will lift you up! (James 4:10) Remove all hollow woodsy interpretations of God from your mind; humble yourself to the Holy Spirit; quest to get to know Him--not to have Him prove Himself to you; allow His Word to kindle that fire that you are so passionately seeking... He is not far from you, He is in your heart, in your mind, in your body, in your soul! Listen to the Holy Spirit and He will guide you to the Truth: 38Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, "Teacher, we want to see a miraculous sign from you." 39He answered, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. (Matthew 12:38-39) Feel free to continue posting; if nothing else, you might get familiar with the Holy Scripture as you study the various passages that will be cited to you. God Bless! Angel |

104 | why go to a doctor for healing | Bible general Archive 2 | JCrichton | 150919 | ||
Hi, Lani! Just as there is no Scripture restricting from the use of a doctor, there is no Scripture guaranteeing us miracle cures from God that correspond to our level of obedience and/or faith... As a matter of fact, there is one specific passage that speaks on our reliance on God's Strength rather than on ours, and it shatters all teaching that lack of faith is the impediment to health and wealth for the Christian: 7To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10) Paul's faith and accomplishments in the service of Christ, outstrips most of today's Believers'--would we say then, that it was his lack of faith or his ambivalence that kept Paul from obtaining enough grace to remove/cure whatever ailed him? Clearly, Jesus was aware that the poeple of Israel were frequenting physicians (Matthew 9:12; Luke 4:23); yet, there was never a word against those who practiced medicine nor against those who sought treatment! Just as on the day of Pentecost, God has the Power to reveal Himself as He pleases... it could very well be that during our times (as times in the past) the Holy Spirit may decide to remove/cure any and all ailments from those who serve Christ--this by no means implies a contractural obligation in God's part! God Bless! Angel |

105 | Using instruments at worship service | Bible general Archive 2 | JCrichton | 151066 | ||
Hi, BMR47! I've come across some who belief as much... I think part of their rationale lies in the fact that the early Chruch was persecuted under the penalty of death... thusly, Peter, Paul and the rest of the Believers would gather in secrecy (attested by Jesus' appearance, after His resurresction, in the locked room where the disciples were gathered and the various expulsions of the disciples from the synagogues); as the Chruch grew more and more services were conducted in individual houses (churches), in the wilderness, in caves, and later on even in the catacombs... Could you imagine a group of Christians meeting for worship service and employing all sorts of musical instruments (as prescribed in the Psalms) and singing at the top of their voice?... surely, they would be dealt with expediently! The irony of all this is that the empire that sought to destroy Christianity paved the way (through persecution and building of protected roads) for its success and proliferation... The problem with some congregations is that they find the slightest seemingly "novel" idea and they reject all Scripture that deny their theology... Remember king David's foolish behavior?... not only did he allowed the use of musical instruments but he himself danced as the ark was returned to Israel (2 Samuel 6:5-17)... Here's another scenario... could you imagine Christ speaking to the bridegroom and asking him to "stop the music" because God has a problem with musical instruments? (John 2:1-11) Granted, the adaptation of secular musical styles or music scores to render worship to God is close to blasphemy as the mind of those familiar with the songs can easily be caught up with the lirics/styles which reflect anti-Christian values... this could easily be solved if we stop the quest to out do other Christians by introducing anything and everything to make our musical skills standout--some efforts could be placed into the development of musical talents so that the Body of Christ can create its own music without dabbling into questionable formats.

106 | Masturbation used to expel sexual urge? | Bible general Archive 1 | JCrichton | 136393 | ||
Hi, PV! There are waaaaay too many people who take liberties with Scripture as if they were reading through some Sci-Fi text (Lord of the Ring, Excalibur, Dune, Star Wars...) where there is a meshing of good and evil... where there are gray zones that could go either way... Not so with Scripture! When Jesus speaks on adultery and marriage (Matthew 5:27-32; 19:3-12), He does not mention homosexuality, sexual relationships outside of marriage nor bestiality because He is speaking to a people whose idea of premarital relationship meant being espoused with a husband/wife who they hardly met outside of family gatherings or, at times, they only met during their wedding ceremonies... Understanding that the people of God (those living according to the Law) would not engage in pre/extra marital sex, we can understand why Jesus did not directly address some subjects, it was expected of them not to be engaged in such immoral acts! Still, Jesus tells us that it is from the heart that evil thoughts come... these include murder, adultery, fornication and blasphemy! There are those who will attempt (while engaging in blasphemy) to usurp God's Authority by claiming that we are free to commit unrighteous acts because there is lack of Scripture to point out that it is wrong to do... These people are blind and they lead astray all who follow them... they are quick to determine that we do good by satisfying the flesh since we are above the Law... I liken them to Satan, in the Garden of Eden, twisting God's words around and promising Eve that they would not die if they disobeyed God! He used partial truth to poison her mind and spirit against God as she submitted her will to a creature rather than the Creator! We are above the Law in the sense that we no longer need to worry about what we should or should not do, because we obediently desire to do what is pleasing to God... it is this relationship that places us above the Law: our obedience and dependence on Christ: loving God above all and our neighbors as ourselves! Perhaps you may have heard of psychologists and psychiatrists that promote sexual release, and at least by hollow wood's (my pet name for the entertainment industry) standards sexual maintenance is necessary for our mental/physical health (not to mention popularity...), wrong! In the annals of the world I've yet to read any study that proves that any one person has died due to lack of sex! Further, if we are to justify any type of sexual behavior as a release mechanism to avoid sinning, would the same argument not apply to anger (kill/beat only those who deserve it--criminals, addicts, hoarders, anti-Christians); engaging in small white lies to keep us from deep dark lies; stealing insignificant knickknacks to keep us from raiding banks, stores, affluent properties... Jesus tells us that it is better for us to cut off an appendage that causes us to sin than to end up in hell! (Matthew 5;27-30) …of course, Jesus is not looking to have myriads of self-mutilated kinfolk joining Him at His Second Coming... He is asking us to exercise self-discipline... something that we train the lowest of animal forms to have (movies, dog shows, races, sea-land eco systems, etc.), how difficult could it be for us, the higher life forms, to achieve? Christians are above the Law, but that does not mean that we are free to operate outside the Law: The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God. For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, (Romans 8:6-8, 13) Above, Paul clearly states that if we live according to the flesh we cannot please God--he is speaking to Believers, not to pagans or Jews! And in Galatians 5:22-25, he offers us a list of traits by which the Holy Spirit's Grace is evident in Christians and he challenges us to walk by the Spirit: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. So remember, we cannot rationalize unrighteousness into righteousness! If we say that we are children of the Light ought we not to live in the Light? (Ephesians 5:5-10) God Bless! Angel |

107 | Is Jesus God? Who is telling the Truth? | OT general | JCrichton | 107294 | ||
Tara1, hi! Please do not discard this post before reading it in its entirety! (Part 1 of 3) You seem as confused as the JW--you (unless otherwise stated, for the purpose of simplification “you“ is inclusive of Tara1 and JW) want to give God a rank. Where do you position I am? (Exodus 3:14: God said to Moses, ‘I am he who is.’ And he said, ‘This is what you are to say to the Israelites. “I am has sent me to you.”) Is it first, which implies that there’s at least a second? Is it last, which implies inferiority? You attest that “His Son is Jesus Christ, second in all the universe.“ ”Second,” this implies that He is not as able, as powerful, as divine, as perfect as the “first.” In essence what you are saying is that “I am” of Ex 3:14 and Is 43:11 is first and that “I am” of Jn 8:58 and 8:24 (8:58--Jesus replied: In all truth I tell you, before Abraham ever was, I am. 8:24--I have told you already: You will die in your sins. Yes, if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.) is second, an inferior counterpart. And, if that is what you are saying, can I conclude that you believe that God is both perfect and imperfect? For some reason that confounds me, you seek to define God not in His infinite faculty but in our finite human capacity. If you believe that the Bible is God’s Word (not Jesus as the Word), then why do you not believe God? Why do you seek to invent meanings and interpretations that can only lead you to perdition? (John 8:24) From the very first book of the Bible to the last, God has revealed Himself to the people of Israel, and to the world in general, in various forms and functions. What reasons does God have to communicate and interact with humanity in such composite manner? I do not know--it is a mystery of faith (believing in that which is not known: Heb 11:1). What I do know is that God is: One; Eternal; Omniscient; Omnipotent; Transcendent; Perennial; Life; Light; Spirit; Perfection; Truth; Love; Patience… So when God tells me that He alone is God, I believe Him!: Is 43:10-11; Dt 4:39; Is 46:9-10; Hos 13:4. Clearly, to me, there is only one God! Therefore, neither before, during |

110 | Can't find a bible verse | OT general | JCrichton | 121377 | ||
Hi PINK! The problem with finding things in the Bible is that people usually stay with that particular verse or idea and they refuse to accept the rest of the Bible. True, there was a passage that spoke about the sins of the fathers being revisited upon the children... These were sins against God--when the people of Israel rebelled against God's commandments He warned them that by rejecting God, their sins would be revisited upon their children to the third and forth generation (Exodus 20:5). What they fail to understand is that Yahweh is cautioning them not to reject Him! Just one single verse past the warning Yahweh says that He has mercy onto 1000 generations to those who love Him! Which side of the coin would you or any believer would like to be found? If that is not abundantly clear read Ezekiel 18. This whole chapter addresses this particular issue: ...He will not die because of his father's sins... (18:17) It is the one who sins who will die. A son is not to suffer because of his father's sins, nor a father because of the sins of his son... (18:20) So in the future, House of Israel, I shall judge each of you by what that person does--declares the Lord Yahweh. Repent, renounce all your crimes, avoid all occasions for guilt. Shake off all the crimes you have committed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why die, House of Israel? I take no pleasure in the death of anyone--declares the Lord Yahweh--so repent and live!' (18:30-32) But Israel refused to listen to God; even when the Word was incarnated and brought to them the news about the Kingdom of Heaven, they were steadfast to their contaminated versions of the Law: John 9:2-3. They want Jesus to connect the sins of a child to his/her parents! For at the judgement seat of Christ we are all to be seen for what we are, so that each of us may receive what he has deserved in the body, matched to whatever he has done, good or bad. (2 Corinthians 5:10) The judgment will not be based on the sins of others or on what others want to lay on us; the judgment will be based on our individual status in the eyes of God! God Bless! Angel |

112 | Why did God send Jacob's Family to Egypt | OT general | JCrichton | 130193 | ||
Hi, Dale! ...adding to Country Girl's post... It begins with the sons of Jacob who are envious of Joseph who eventually becomes both their ruler and savior (as per his dreams--notice a type of Christ: both King and Savior?)... it translates into Yahweh's demonstration of Power, Mercy, Authority, and Ownership: Jacob, renamed Israel--which sounds like the Hebrew for "he struggles with God"--carries the promise made to Abraham--father of many nations--and God brings Israel to Egypt to both save Israel from the coming famine and to place His people in the midst of a powerful nation which will serve to demonstrate God's Omnipotence! Once Joseph's feats are forgetten into oblivion, Israel begins to suffer both physical and moral exploitation in the hands of those who at a time were its benefactors... but this served God's purpose as the nation of Israel continued to flourish despite the oppressive and murderous treatments they were receiving from the Egyptians... It was Yahweh's Might and Grace that built Israel, not the might and power of man... Their Exodus from Egypt, their occupation of the promised land, and the establishment of their kingdom... all of it was made possible by Yahweh's Power and determination... Sadly, Israel holding true to the hidden meaning of its name maintained a constant struggle against Yahweh's Authority and Ownership... In spite of everything, Yahweh's Patience and Mercy tempered His Wrath to allow the Remnant to survive all the trials and tribulations that Israel would release upon itself... it was all due to God's original promise that through Abraham's seed (Jesus) all the nations of the world would be blessed! Every step that brought Abraham's descendants to the place and time when the Messiah would come to God's people was aided by God's Will... so that no man would glorify upon his own might and power... so that the whole world would recognize the God of Jacob, Issac and Abraham as the Strong Arm of Israel (both descendants by the flesh and by the spirit) who provides for those He loves! God Bless! Angel |

113 | John Baptist's Jewish legal credentials? | OT general | JCrichton | 134076 | ||
Hi, Reighnskye! I think that you are missing the point altogether... As God, Jesus could have orchestrated His incarnation in a Mansion of earthly riches... He did not! There was a big to do about John... the people dismissed his mother's offering of the name because there was no such name in his ancestry--they refused to accept John as the infant's name till the father, who was unable to speak due to an act of God, wrote down the name "John" to designate his new born son--at this particular time Zachary gained his speaking abilities! Another particular point which seems to have eluded you is the fact that the status quo was never interested in Jesus nor in John ("What have you gone to see in the desert?" "The Son of man eats and drinks...")... and how accessible to the poor and sinners would John and Jesus had been if they would've been part of the Temple's facade? John the Baptist was separated from birth (no fruit of the grape--herald of the Lord) to bring the News of the coming change: the New Covenant of God with man... he had to be free to travel to pave the way for the Messiah! His authority came directly from Yahweh! God Bless! Angel |

116 | Christmas-Is It Christian? | NT general Archive 1 | JCrichton | 106703 | ||
Hi, Tess! I can see that you are struggling, like most of us, to find Truth in the world. I commend you for that. But we must not close our minds and hearts to everything because someone wrote a thesis against it, or because it is not expressively apparent in the Bible. Paul tells the Thessalonians to: "test everything and hold on to what is good and shun every form of evil." (1 Thessalonians 5:21-22) Jesus tells us, in John 14:16-17, "I shall ask the Father, and he will give you another Paraclete to be with you for ever, the Spirit of truth whom the world can never accept since it neither sees nor knows him; but you know him, because he is with you, he is in you." The world cannot pay homage to the Lord because they do not know the Holy Spirit (as Paul says no one can say Jesus is Lord but with the Spirit). So an idea of celebrating the Savior's birth cannot be but corrupted by paganism and materialism. Was Jesus born on December 25? No! Should I not celebrate my Lord's birthday because some say that it is not Biblical? Absolutely not! Can you picture yourself among the shepherds, hearing the choir of angels glorifying God and praising the day that Emmanuel came to us? Can you see yourself on that long trek accross the desert looking for a child, a special child, that the Holy Spirit (though you only knew Him as a deep unexplainable feeling) impeled you to search out? Or how grand to have been there when Mary greeted her relative, Elizabeth, and both child and mother, instructed by the Holy Spirit, recognized the unborn child to be God? These are some of the reasons why I celebrate Christmas, every year; I hope that more Christians see the value of this and celebrate our Savior's birth not just on Dec 25 but every single day of the year! And I am one of the have nots--I do not see Christmas as a negative aspect of my Christianity; instead I see it as another affirmation that the Word became flesh, came to the poorest of situations, was worshiped by both communers and the exalted alike (both Jews and Gentiles), and that He gave it all up for me! (This me includes John 1:12.) Maran atha! |

117 | who wrote Hebrews in the new testament? | NT general Archive 1 | JCrichton | 116792 | ||
Hi, babyp! It is generally thought that Hebrews was written anonymously (no author credit); though it is joined to Paul's letters. Who ever the author was he had a grand revelation, as John had (John 1:1-18 and Revelation). This unknown author speaks of such strong topics as Jesus' Divinity, Authority, and Eternal Priesthood! He accentuates Faith and the quest for God's Promise; he admonishes the Hebrews about staying strong in the Faith, and provides hope and purpose both through his words and through a chronological recount of our forefathers' obedience and faithfulness to God.

118 | Was Jesus an Apostle? | NT general Archive 1 | JCrichton | 117056 | ||
Hi, nae-nae 04! There are some people out there that want to believe that Jesus was an apostle (not in the term of the One but simply on of many). When we read the Bible, and accept its teachings, we learn that Jesus is the One: John 1:1-18 explains in very clear text that He is the Word who was at the beginning (not an apostle), who was with God (suggesting sharing of power, not an apostle), who was God (and since we know from the Old Testament that there is only one God--Is 43:10--definetely not an apostle)... Yet from the beginning there was a Divine Plan and the Word would eventually become incarnated... Jesus as Immanuel is God-with-us! He fulfills the prophecy of the Anointed One (throughout Jewish history there were many that were anointed but not "the Anointed"), is baptized, and begins his public life. Jesus tells the Pharisees and Sadducees that the Father has sent Him in order to demonstrate that His origins are of Divine nature. You, if you listen to God could be a sent one, every human being could--but we would never be the One! Look at what John says: We are well aware that we are from God, and the whole world is in the power of the Evil One. We are well aware also that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know the One who is true. We are in the One who is true as we are in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and this is eternal life. Children, be on your guard against falso gods. (1 John 5:8-20) God Bless! Angel |

Hi, twbab! There isn't much in the New Testament about Judas. And in the Old Testament we will only find references to his betrayal. There are those speculations about Judas being a member of a militant group who sought to rid themselves of the Roman subjugation. Some, further speculate that Judas was orienting Jesus' followers (general followers not the core 11) towards an arm resistance... None of this is Biblical, of course! But his background could well have been the catalyst for his betrayal of our Lord, Jesus Christ. God Bless! Angel |
