101 | Does God say that He'll end Hell? | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 102028 | ||
Greetings GZwee! Misinterpreted! :-) Scripture is quite clear that the punishment of hell is eternal. For instance, Mt. 25:46 makes a direct comparison between the life that believers receive and the punishment that unbelievers receive. Both are said to be eternal: "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." Further, Rev. 14:11 describes an eternal torment for those in hell - without rest or respite: "And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name." I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

102 | Is God subject to change? | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 102136 | ||
Greetings John! Scripture is clear that God's nature never changes. However, His interactions with man do seem to change. There are only two ways to explain passages like Amos 7:6 (that I can think of). Either, God never really changed His mind, and Scripture lied. Or, at least some of God's interactions with man are conditional and dependent upon our responses to Him. An excellent example of this conditional relationship is explained by God Himself in Jer. 18:5-10: "5 Then the word of the LORD came to me: 6 'O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?' declares the LORD. 'Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. 7 If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, 8 and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned. 9 And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted, 10 and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.'"

103 | use of the pronoun she or her | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 102707 | ||
Greetings Astafford! I'm not sure that I can give you a complete answer, but I'll do the best that I can. In Greek, nouns actually have gender attached to them. In terms of your question, the Greek word for church is actually a feminine noun. So, the appropriate pronoun to use would be 'she' or 'her'. Now, as to why the noun is feminine, I have no clue! :-) Maybe our resident linguist, Hank, can provide some light on this issue! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

104 | why should i bring people | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 104325 | ||
Greetings Buddy234! I won't presume to know your spiritual condition my friend, but it is obvious from your post that you have much anger and bitterness in your heart. Why? I don't know! But, I do know what Scripture says about are responsibilities toward others. Consider some of the following examples: 1) Mt. 5:43 - "You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." 2) Mt. 7:12 - "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." 3) 1 Cor. 10:24 - "Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others." 4) Eph. 4:29 - " Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." 5) Phil. 2:3 - "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." 6) Jude 22 - "Be merciful to those who doubt; 23 snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh." What about all of the 'one another's' in the Bible? For instance, we are command to do the following to one another: 1) Love one another (John 13:34-35) 2) Be devoted to and honor one another (Rom. 12:10) 3) Live in harmony with one another (Rom. 12:16) 4) To stop passing judgement on one another (Rom. 14:13) 5) Accept one another (Rom. 15:7) 6) Serve one another (Gal. 5:13) 7) Be humble, patient, gentle, and bear with one another (Eph. 4:2) 8) Be kind and compassionate and forgive one another (Eph. 4:32) 9) Submit to one another (Eph. 5:21) 10) Teach and admonish one another (Col. 3:16) 11) Encourage one another and build each other up (1 Thes. 5:11) 12) Offer hospitality to one another (1 Pet. 4:9) These are just a few of the 'one another's'. In light of these verses my friend, can you still say that our relationship with God is just supposed to be a 'me and god thing'? I would encourage you to pray that God would grant you the same kind of love for others that He has. When He does, you will want to invite others to your men's group and much more. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

105 | what is a thread? | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 105051 | ||
Greetings Sickhead! A thread simply refers to a logical list of posts which form a discussion. Your question is the beginning of a new thread. Every response to you, or now to me, will be part of this thread. To see the thread, simply scroll to the bottom of the page (if you came directly from the e-mail link). If you are reading this on the main page, simply click on the link above this post and go to the actual post. Where can you find it in the Bible? You can't find an internet thread there, but it does mention 'thread' in Gen. 14:23, Gen. 38:28, and Gen. 38:30. :-) I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

107 | Do I have to be a scholar? | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 105055 | ||
Greetings Sickhead! I concur with EdB my friend! To the best of my knowledge, there aren't any scholars on this forum and only one or two professors. :-) You just need to enjoy discussing the Bible or have questions which you would like to see discussed. Welcome to the Forum! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

108 | what do I do? | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 105060 | ||
Greetings Sickhead! Since this is a public forum, any sort of response to a question is possible! :-) Some might be polite, while some might not be! Some might be correct, while some might not be! But, if you have a question, simply do as you have been doing and ask it. If it is unclear, someone will usually ask you to clarify it. As far as answering non-christians, someone will respond to any question about the Bible. The only condition being that there are certain assumptions made about the Bible which form our starting point. For instance, we accept the Bible as the Word of God. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Joel! Now I know what the phrase 'hobby horse' means! :-) Why is it okay for you to openly insult and ridicule someone? I urge you my friend to get back to the purpose of this forum, which is discussing the Bible! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

112 | tim ... thank you | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 105269 | ||
Greetings Joel! I appreciate the response my friend! My concern is that the forum is turning into a circus of everyone trying to defend themselves, instead of actually discussing Scripture. I haven't been active on the forum as long as several, but I have been active longer than most. There was a time when Scripture was actually discussed. But, these days, most of the posts seem to be nothing more than personal feuds. I don't recall reading anything that Searcher posted which I would find objectionable. But, for the sake of argument, let's say he did. The proper response would be to make our case with Scripture and then move on - not to insult him. I urge everyone to get back to the purpose of the forum! You have made some fine Biblical posts in the past. Get back to those and leave the grudges aside my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

113 | Searching for the truth | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 107919 | ||
Greetings FytRobert! While I agree with Makarios' comments, I would respond with a slightly different approach. First of all, 'heaven' is never mentioned with Enoch at all. Secondly, the word 'heaven' in relation to Elijah can simply mean 'sky'. So, I would say that until Christ was resurrected, no one went to Heaven, not even Elijah and Enoch. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings FytRobert! Scripture never says my friend! But, if I could speculate, I would say that they went to the same place that everyone else went to before Christ, which is Hades. We know from the account of Lazarus and the Rich Man that Hades consisted of two sides. One for the wicked and one for the righteous. We call this side paradise. So, I would say that both Elijah and Enoch went to paradise until Christ was resurrected. At which time, they, and all the Old Testament Saints, went immediately to be with the Lord. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings FytRobert! Good morning my friend! I'm not sure I understand what the dilemma is! Allow me to touch upon your questions quickly. 1) How do they know? I know of no reason why they would have to know the way. :-) They have no choice in the matter as far as I understand things. 2) and 3) Paradise side of Hades. I do believe that it is now closed and empty. We know that now, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. 4) Judgement: I do not believe that believers will be judged, since we are not saved by what we do. Those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of Life will be saved. Those who are not written in the Lamb's book of Life will be judged and condemned. If I misunderstood your questions, please let me know. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

117 | Invite in a Trojan Horse? | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 112104 | ||
Greetings Renovate Me! May I be blunt my friend? If you are no longer a member of that congregation, you really don't have any business taking the pastor to task about anything. This would be an issue for the church board and or the membership of the church, not someone who once attended there. They may not have any problem opening the building up to a service group like AA. I know I would not have a problem with it. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

118 | Why don't we address God as Yahweh? | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 112296 | ||
Greetings Boris Cat! My way of answering this question is to look at what Jesus Himself did when He quoted passages from the Old Testament containing the Tetragrammaton. For instance, look at Luke 4:18-19. Here Jesus is quoting Is. 61:1-2, a passage where YHWH is used. Luke, writting under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit translates YHWH in v. 19 as 'kurios' or 'Lord'. So, if Jesus was comfortable saying 'Lord' instead of YHWH, I am as well. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
