102 | What did God do before He made the world | Bible general Archive 2 | Makarios | 97140 | ||
Greetings La Flor, The only things that we know for sure are that God is the Supreme Ruler over all (Ephesians 1). Also, God is free from the succession of time (Genesis 21:33; Psalm 90:2). Is time unreal to God? No, He recognizes successiveness of events, but all past, present, and future events are equally vivid to Him. God ruled over all before He created the world. Blessings to you, Makarios |

103 | Explain the Diagram of the Bible | Bible general Archive 2 | Makarios | 97223 | ||
Greetings Becky, Welcome to the StudyBibleForum! To provide an Answer to your Question, I will use my very first and worn out Bible (some books are literally falling out) that was given to me on June 19, 1985.. :-) Since then, I have "graduated" onto Study Bibles and so on, so forth.. But this special, old Bible, whose binding is almost seared in half from all the usage, will always hold a place in my heart! Genesis - "Beginning" Exodus through Deuteronomy - The Pentateuch Joshua through Esther - 800 years of History Job through Solomon - Poetry Isaiah through Daniel - Major Prophets Hosea through Malachi - Minor Prophets Matthew through John - The Gospels Acts - History of the Beginning of the Church Romans through Jude - Letters Revelation - The Revelation of the Second Coming of Christ Blessings to you, Makarios |

109 | Informed opinions of the ESV please? | Bible general Archive 2 | Makarios | 98003 | ||
Greetings Newoldstock! You will be well served by looking in the Archives for more on the English Standard Version! I own two now - one in my bedroom and one in my living room! :-) For me, the ESV has taken its place as the translation that I use at my side for 'readability.' When a Christian uses the NASB for nearly everything, they are well served by having a handy, well-flowing and readable translation nearby. For me, this translation is unquestionably the ESV, which has all but became my most used Bible version in all my study. Only my NASBs get used more. I have given and continue to give the ESV my highest recommendations for study, memorization, readability, and worship. It has truly set a new standard, and has carried the legacy of the RSV to a much greater stature. Blessings to you, Makarios |

110 | Which publish for profit ? | Bible general Archive 2 | Makarios | 98118 | ||
Greetings my friend, As you have stated before, you use the NIV to reach those whom you teach, and that is very good! The NIV is an easy to read translation that remains otherwise faithful to the original Greek and Hebrew, and it is a very good choice for a Bible translation in your situation, as compared to other choices that could have been made instead. You should not feel "unconfident" in your leading to use the NIV in this way, since it has become the best-selling evangelical Bible translation in just a short time. However, those of us who are a bit more mature in faith than those whom you teach have certain convictions against using the NIV, and for good reason. Just as the KJV has its detractors and supporters, so does the NIV. Some people will use the KJV and nothing else. Some will use the NIV and nothing else! Some people avoid the KJV for one reason or another. Others avoid the NIV for their reasons. Some don't care, others use both the NIV and the KJV. It doesn't matter, since everyone is convinced in his own mind what is right (Romans 14:1-5), and we should not judge one another on which of these that we use (Romans 14:10), even though some of us avoid the NIV for good reason (Romans 14:3,14). But let this not be a source of contention between us, my Brother in Christ! Blessings to you, Makarios |

Greetings Donald Duck, When Lockman came out with the NASB Update in 1995, they ceased distribution of the old 1977 NASB in favor of the Update. You may find an older NASB at an Ebay auction. :-) Blessings to you, Makarios |

113 | Bible Support Gender-Inclusive Language? | Bible general Archive 2 | Makarios | 98479 | ||
Greetings my friend, "Does the Bible really support gender-inclusive language?" 1. First of all, what is a Bible translation? The goal of a good translation is to provide an accurate, readable, rendition of the original that will capture as much of the meaning as possible. To do this effectively, the translator must understand both the meaning of the original text and the manner in which the target audience is likely to comprehend that meaning in the receptor language. 2. What are some of the differences between translations? "Formal equivalence" translations seek to correspond as closely as possible to the form of the original Greek and Hebrew text. The goal is to find an equivalent English word for each word in Greek or Hebrew. However, no two languages correspond exactly to each other; each using its own unique set of words and phrases to communicate meaning. So a "completely" literal, word for word approach would be misleading, since English and Greek use different constructions to express the same meaning. Therefore, in reality all Bible versions, to one degree or another, use both literal and idiomatic language. The issue is not whether a translation sometimes introduces idiomatic language (all do), but to what extent 'meaning' is allowed to take precedence over 'form.' 3. What that said, what should be the 'aim' of a Bible translation? To translate 'responsibly', the goal of translation should be to render literally what is in the original language. For example, the word "anyone" could be used where there is no word corresponding to the male gender in the original languages, and "people" could be used where the original languages refer to both men and women. However, where there is a male meaning component in the orginal languages, then the masculine form in English should also be retained in the translated text. The objective in translation is to be 'transparent' to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than on the terms of present-day culture. 4. How has the attitude of present-day culture changed towards gender, and how has that influenced Bible translation? If you have noticed, no Bible translation produced before the 1970's had ever questioned the retaining of a male gender pronoun in what could otherwise be considered an all 'gender inclusive' meaning in a verse, when the original languages called for a male pronoun in that verse. But 'dynamic equivalence' has taken on a new meaning now in present day translations, stating that the carried over "meaning" overrides the "form" of what is actually in the original languages, and therefore, the 'presented text' should present the "meaning" over that of the form, sacrificing the loyalty to the original text, in an effort to completely avoid misunderstanding in any degree. To avoid misunderstanding has now taken precedence in translating "meaning", which has also taken precedence over carrying over the "form" of what the original languages actually convey. Therefore, we can see clearly now what effect present-day culture has had towards the attitude of translating gender, since newer versions seek to avoid 'misunderstanding' at any cost. 5. How can we identify a present-day translation that seeks to avoid 'misunderstanding' at any cost? After studying 100 selected verses that 'confront' this very issue in every translation, I have come to the following conclusions: the KJV has Zero inclusive verses, the NASB has 3, the NKJV has 4, the RSV has 3, and the NIV has 17. In contrast, using the same 100 verses, the NRSV has 97 inclusive verses, the REB 59, NJB 78, GNB 90, CEV 97, NLT 93, NIVI 94, GW 87, NCV 82, and the NIrV 91.. Some "target" passages (included in the 100 studied) that could help you determine if your Bible is "gender-inclusive" or not, are: Romans 12:1; 14:10; 1 Cor. 14:39; 15:21; Eph. 13:5; Prov. 4:10; 15:5,20; Ex. 13:14; Gal. 3:26; Phil. 2:8; 1 Tim. 2:5. You will be able to tell if the translation is 'gender inclusive' or not by looking up the verses above and determining if the translators sought to use an 'all inclusive' term over a masculine term.

115 | Is there book by Mary Magdalene ? | Bible general Archive 2 | Makarios | 99378 | ||
Greetings Flargaes, There is a "pseudo-cannonical work" called the 'Gospel of Mary', but it's 'authenticity' is questionable at best. There are many reasons why this, and other books like it, are not included in the Bible. This so-called "Gospel of Mary" was not widely accepted by the church, nor was it ever quoted, nor does it appear in any way "authentic." Also, it does not speak "authoritatively" as does the whole of the Bible as we know it. Moreover, the manuscript evidence for this work is very scant, compared to the great whole of accepted Holy writ, which was inspired by none other than the Holy Spirit. In the work itself, it makes many Scipture references, which further casts doubt on its authenticity. Blessings to you, Makarios |

117 | Abrahamic covenant fulfillment ?...ect.. | Bible general Archive 2 | Makarios | 99749 | ||
Greetings Notmyown! So how is everything at JBU? My father went to JBU while he was serving as a pastor in Northwestern Arkansas. Now, to your topics: 1. "The church has not replaced God's plan for Israel".. FOR: Those who argue "FOR" the above comment would point to the restoration of Israel (Zephaniah 3:18-20; Zechariah 8:1-17; chapters 12,13,14; 1 Peter 2:9) and verses such as Ex. 29:28; 32:13; 2 Sam. 7:24. AGAINST: Those who argue "AGAINST" the above comment would point to the fact that the Jews have, for the most part, rejected the Gospel, and Christianity has spread and thrived among the Gentiles (Matthew 21:33-46; Acts 10,11; Romans 2; Eph. 2:11-13). 2. "Abrahamic Covenant (not yet fulfilled)".. FOR: Those who argue "FOR" the above comment would point to the fact that there continues to be people being born as Abraham's descendants to this very day (Gen. 45:7; 2 Kings 19:31; Ezra 9:13; Isaiah 10:21; Jer. 23:3; 50:20; Micah 2:12; 4:7; 5:7; Zephaniah 2:9; Zechariah 9:7; Romans 9:27; 11:5), and the nation of Israel has not yet been able to acquire complete, uncontested rights to the land that was promised to them in Gen. 17:8. Also, God promised "to be God to you and to your descendants after you".. (Gen. 17:7), which has not been completed if there continues to be descendants born to Abraham. AGAINST: Those who argue "AGAINST" the above comment would point to the fact that the New Testament itself affirms that the "Abrahamic Covenant" has been fulfilled (Romans 4:16-18; 15:8-12; Gal. 3:29; Rev. 7:9; 21:24). I hope that this gives you a good start. :-) Blessings to you, Makarios |

118 | Is the KJV Only position wrong? | Bible general Archive 2 | Makarios | 99775 | ||
Greetings G-Zus_777! I suggest you read the following excellent online article: http://www.equip.org/free/DK115.htm I use the NASB, the ESV, the NKJV, the Holman Christian Standard Bible and even the NIV alongside the KJV. The NASB is my favorite translation, followed closely by the ESV. The claims of "KJV Onlyists" have all been proven wrong in regards to inspiration or deliberate "omission" in regards to modern day Bible versions. Blessings to you, Makarios |

119 | Last words spoken by Christ on the Cross | Bible general Archive 2 | Makarios | 100717 | ||
Greetings 4square, The seven cries of Jesus from the cross include (in this order): 1. "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34); 2. "..To day shalt thou be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43); 3. "Woman, behold thy son," (John 19:26-27); 4. "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34-36); 5. "I thirst!" (John 19:28); 6. "It is finished!" (John 19:30); 7. "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: .." (Luke 23:46).. God Himself had foreordained the very minutest details of Jesus' death at the cross (Acts 2:23; 4:27,28). Jesus Himself was in absolute control (John 10:17,18). If we compare the accounts of the crucifixion of Jesus in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, we find that these separate accounts actually supplement each other instead of contradicting each other. Not one of the accounts is exactly the same, but the narratives combined give us a fuller and more complete picture of what happened at the cross. As we know, the rapid spread of Christianity precipitated the need for written accounts of the life of Christ. As major figures in the stories and eyewitnesses began to die, there was an increasing need for written accounts of what they had seen and heard. The Book of Matthew was written for the Jews; Mark for the Romans; Luke for the Gentiles; and John for Christians. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all present very similar material about the life of Christ; having a pretty common view of His activities and teachings and chronology of events. All but 31 verses in Mark have parallels in either Matthew or Luke, and much of John's gospel is unique. The differences in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John supplement each other without contradiction and the similarities complement each other. The result is a comprehensive fourfold record of the redemptive ministry of Jesus Christ. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Shalor, Interesting material. It could be said that either view argued in their greatest "extremes" would both lead to heresy, even though that ground has already been covered on this forum. Blessings to you, Makarios |
