101 | Can we identify the "creature?" | Rom 1:25 | Ray | 138301 | ||
Hi Mommapbs, Strong's #2937 and #2936 gives the understanding that they served the "act or the product" rather than the "Creator". It would be like worshiping the pottery instead of the Potter. It would be like worshiping the building instead of the One who built it. It would be like worshiping the man instead of the Man. It would be like worshiping the thing born to Mary instead of the recognizing the power of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:20, "...Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for that which has been conceived [Lit. begotten] in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 And she will bear a Son, and you shall call His/ name Jesus, for it is He who will save (His) people from their sins." John 10:14, "...and I/ know My own, and My own know (Me)." Romans 1:21, "For even though they knew God/, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible (God) for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures." Colossians 1:14, "in whom [Him]/ we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible (God), the firstborn over all creation." See NKJ. The slashes and parentheses are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |

102 | Dwell in greek and hebrew | Col 3:16 | Ray | 138146 | ||
Hi toneesbride, Here is a page from "Hebrew Honey", copyright 1965 by Al Novak. Library of Congress card no.64-252876. DWELL: "I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever", Ps. 23:6). This Hebrew word yashab is used some four hundred times in the Old Testament, and, no wonder, for it has so much in it. It is used to speak of God's people dwelling in a place, of the ark of God dwelling in a place (1 Chron. 13:6) and even of God dwelling on earth (1 Kings 8:27). It means: To be seated, as a judge to dispense justice--Ps. 9:4. In the New Testament we are taught that God's people will judge with the Great Judge. To be seated as a king on a throne--Ps 9:7,8. This meaning is appropriately set forth in a Psalm for it is something to sing about. The Lord will make all of His children kings--Rev. 1:6. To hold possession of a place by sitting down on it--1 Sam. 13:16. God's children will not only be in God's house but will own the place. They will be allowed squatter's rights. To sit down with anyone in order to associate with him--Ps. 1:1. David sang when he looked forward to sitting in company with the Greater David. So should we sing out, using Psalms 23 as the text. To remain, to stay, to abide--Gen. 29:19. There is not found a scripture that reports the house of the Lord to be a temporary dwelling place. There is not a tension of transiency in heaven, but an air of permanency. To inhabit--Gen. 13:12. This word means that we will have the privilege of setting up house and living in God's place. To marry--Hos. 3:3 and Ezra 10:2. This stems from the idea of letting dwell with oneself, that is, to marry. There will be no marriage in heaven, but Jesus will be the bridegroom and the church will be the bride. The Lord will let us dwell with Him in the house which He has prepared for us. This will be far better. Jashobeam--1 Chron. 11:11. This is the name of one of David's chief officers and means "dwelling in quiet." This is a fitting name for a man in so important position. It is a good name for a pastor. End of quote. From the heart, Ray |

103 | Compare 2Sam24: 1-25 with 1Chron21: 1-30 | 2 Sam 24:1 | Ray | 138117 | ||
Hi twsmith, Welcome to the forum. I have noted ten Scripture comparisons through the years in my Study Bible. I hope that some may be of help to you. 1) 2 Samuel 24:1, NASB, "Now again the anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and **it incited David against them to say, "Go, number Israel and Judah." 2 Samuel 24:1, NKJ, "Again the anger of the Lord was aroused against Israel, and **He moved David against them to say, "Go, number Israel and Judah." This relates to another question on the question board for today; namely who causes calamity, evil, confusion? Isaiah 45:7. contrast 2 Samuel 24:10 and Job 1:6 contrast 2 Samuel 24:12 and Job 1:12.

104 | re-question of Dt.31:6 and He. 13:5 | Heb 8:10 | Ray | 138098 | ||
Hi hirotami, Here is how I compare/contrast your Scripture verses. Deuteronomy 31:8, "And the Lord is the **One who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. *He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear, or be dismayed." Hebrews 13:5, ".."I will never desert you, nor will **I ever forsake you," 6 so that we confidently say, "The Lord is my *Helper, I will not be afraid, What shall man do to me?" John 14:16, "and I will ask the Father, and **He will give you another Helper, that *He may be with you forever." 2 Cor 6:16, "...I will dwell in them and walk among them; and **I will be their God, and they shall be *My people." Romans 9:25, "As He says also in Hosea, "I will call those who were not My people, '**My people,' And her who was not beloved, 'Beloved.' 26 And it shall be that in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not My people,' There they shall be called sons of the living *God." The * and ** stars are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |

105 | matt 13:1-9 means | Matt 13:16 | Ray | 137967 | ||
Hi driley, Welcome to the forum. When I first studied this parable, I started to pencil in a capitalized "Sower". Since then, I have gone to the lower case "sower" because this is after a parable and a earthly story with a heavenly meaning. What I have found to be meaningful in thinking of a "sower of words" is a comparison of Matthew 13:54 with Matthew 13:15. For Matthew 13:54 I go with the NKJ, "Where did this (Man) get this wisdom and these mighty works?" This is in comparison with Matthew 13:15 and the idea that "(I) shall heal them" and Matthew 13:35, "so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, "I WILL OPEN MY MOUTH IN PARABLES; (I) WILL UTTER THINGS HIDDEN SINCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD." The idea is that this Man has the words of eternal life. He is the One who heals those who hear Him. He is the One who utters things hidden. He is the One who sows the good seed. Again, I go with the NKJ in this passage. Matthew 13:36, "Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field." 37 He answered and said to them: "He [NASB, The one] who sows the good seed is the Son of Man." Greater is the One who is in us than the one who is in the world. Don't listen to the wicked one, the devil who sows the tares of the field. From the heart, Ray |

106 | Who is Ezekiel 28:13-15 referring to? | 2 Thess 2:4 | Ray | 137731 | ||
Hi New Creature, John McArthur's notes for this passage says that 'the language best fits Satan." I will print out the full notes if you request it. He says that the section concerning the king of Tyre is similar to Isaiah 14:3-23 referring to the king of Babylon. I see similarities to the passage in 2 Thess where "the man of lawlessness" is revealed. He takes his seat as God in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. You might compare the NASB with the NKJ in how they have a variance in interpretation of being a god or God for Ezekiel 28. A look at Psalm 82 would be of interest to you also. Also John 10:33, "The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man [NKJ, Man], make Yourself out to be God." From the heart, Ray |

107 | compare Jeremiah 1:5 and Galatians 1:15- | Ps 139:13 | Ray | 137538 | ||
Hi phs2076, Welcome to the forum. See also the answer I gave you to your Exodus 3:2 question. The prophet Jeremiah showed that he wasn't anxious to answer the call by saying "I do not know how to speak because I am a youth". Moses answered the call by saying that he did not speak well. But God says that "(I) am able to deliver." Jeremiah 1:5, "Before (I) formed you in the womb, I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:7, "But the Lord said to me, "Do not say, 'I am a youth,' Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. 8 Do not be afraid of them, For (I) am with you to deliver you," declares the Lord." Exodus 3:13, "Then Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I shall say to them, 'The (God) of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?" God is the One who is able, being the one true God. The parentheses are mine for comparison. From the heart, Ray |

108 | compare Jeremiah 1:5 and Galatians 1:15- | Ex 3:1 | Ray | 137536 | ||
Hi phs2076, In Galatians 1:15 we see that God had set apart Paul and called him by His grace. He revealed His Son to be in him, and so to my mind Paul preached the Spirit among the Gentiles. The revelation of Jesus Christ to him was that He is Spirit. That is why he did not consult with flesh and blood. Paul was not trying to please men, but Spirit. He was a bond-servant of Christ and received a revelation from Jesus Christ. And he preached of the Spirit. Galatians 1:4, "who gave Himself for our sins, that (He) might deliver us out of this present evil age [world]..." Jeremiah 1:8, "Do not be afraid of them, For (I) am with you to deliver you," declares the Lord." Exodus 3:2, NKJ, "And the (Angel) of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush;..." The parentheses are mine for comparison. From the heart, Ray |

110 | The laws of the bible in todays world | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 137257 | ||
Hi juls, This is my first involvement in a thread dealing with homosexuality. Typing in "homosexuality" in the quick search top right corner showed me that there were at least 100 posts in the forum archives already. So I don't think we have to discuss too much here unless you want to. I am curious about whether the writer is a female as you said in your second post. Was this a letter written by a female friend of yours or was your copy just one of many being circulated by someone else and your friend gave this one to you? I believe that it was this idea of other copies being circulating that distressed me about ignoring it. But my friends have made good points and I too would say that the way to know God's will is to first know the Lord. Your friend or the writer of the letter needs to study the New Testament as well as she did the Old Covenant. Romans 1:26, 1 Cor 6:9-11, 1 Timothy 1:10, and Jude 1:7 are verses often quoted in the discussions here. Best wishes and love to everyone here on the thread. From the heart, Ray |

Hi juls, This was a well written letter that she wrote, I would say. But what is this forum coming to when the advice given you is to ignore it? You have expressed yourself concerning the sacrifices and how Jesus is the our sacrificial Lamb. I believe that is a good start for influencing her. Leviticus 1:3, "If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer it, a male without defect; he shall offer it at the doorway of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted of the (Lord)." Leviticus 16:18, "Then he shall go out to the altar that is before the (Lord) and make atonement for it,..." These sacrifices were in the old covenant. Compare/contrast that with Heb 9:15. Hebrews 9:15, "And for this reason (He) is the mediator of a new covenant, in order that since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance." 1) If the writer's main objective is to have us believe that homosexuality is NOT an abomination anymore, then she should look at the New Testament further. 2) I have found Leviticus to be one of the more straightforward books for showing the triune God according to its pronouns of Deity. For instance, one can compare Leviticus with Genesis in their first chapters noting that the total of pronouns is divisible by three. From the heart, Ray |

112 | CLARIFICATION of Gen. 1:26 | John 1:1 | Ray | 137145 | ||
Hi Tamed, If you type in Genesis 1:26 in the Search at the top left corner, you will find ten threads that talk about the verse. If you type in Ray Genesis 1:26 in the yellow Search area you could read 25 posts of mine. I would recommend that you type in the name of someone you respect on the forum and the verse. I find it interesting that you want to have help with the WORD. I have found Genesis 1:25,26 and John 1:1,2 to be good matches of Scripture. Genesis 1:25, "And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after their kind; and God saw that it was good. 26 Then (God) said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to **Our likeness;..." John 1:1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with (God), and the Word was God. 2 **He [this One, the same] was in the beginning with God. I encourage you to use a translation that capitalizes pronouns of Deity. The parentheses and the **stars are mine for comparison of verses. From the heart, Ray |

113 | Why did Saul become king? | 1 Sam 8:19 | Ray | 136499 | ||
Hi Pennington133, I did not find anything in the chapter to suggest why Saul was chosen personally. However, I would say that 1 Samuel 8:20 tells us what the people wanted and expected of a "king". 1 Samuel 8:20, "that we also may be like all the nations, that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles." 1 Samuel 9:16 and 17 suggests that Saul was to be anointed as one who would be a "prince", a "deliverer", and a "ruler" over God's people. It appears that he was going to be a deliverer from the hand of the Philistines. 1 Samuel 10:27, "But certain worthless men [rebels, NKJ] said, "How can this one deliver us?"..." Of course we know that God is the One who delivers. 1 Samuel 10:19, "But you today have rejected your God, who delivers you from all your calamities and your distresses; yet you have said, "No, but set a king over us!" Now therefore, present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and by your clans." I have written more than you wanted to know, but I hope that it helps. God is the Prince of princes, King of kings, our Deliverer and Ruler, and even also our Judge who will fight our battles for us. From the heart, Ray |

114 | Isaiah 45:7 | Is 45:7 | Ray | 136496 | ||
Hi Lmaddox8, Number 118511 seems to be a well-respected answer to your question. Type that number in Search in the top right corner. That thread also suggests a comparison between Isaiah 45:7 and Proverbs 16:4-6. Isaiah 45:6, NKJ, "That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other; 7 I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the Lord, do all these [things]. Proverbs 16:4, NKJ, "The Lord has made all things for Himself, Yes even the wicked for the day of doom." These are good matches of Scripture to my mind. I chose the NKJ because of the number of pronouns; in other words, the One who forms light and creates darkness is the One who causes well-being and creates calamity. I chose the NKJ for Proverbs 16:4 because the Lord has made everything for (His) purpose, (see NASB marginal note); or as the NKJ says "for (Himself)". Even the wicked for the day of evil He has made for Himself. Other Scriptures that I looked at today are Galations 2:17 and Psalm 118:27. But I agree with Tim's post also, as I see that he has been thinking about these things today. From the heart, Ray |

115 | The Lord is my Shepherd... | Psalm | Ray | 136216 | ||
Hi k.james, In your short question you speak of the Shepherd, and in your question about John 10:11 you speak of the Good Shepherd. Is this the interpretation that you have in using capitalization? That is the interpretation that I have penciled in my personal copy. Psalm 23:1, "The Lord is my Shepherd/, I shall not want." John 10:11, "I am the Good/ Shepherd; the Good (Shepherd) lays down His life for the sheep." Certainly the two sayings relate together because they are speaking of the same Shepherd. In relating the two passages together I would see that if tables were set up for the whole world, the Shepherd would know His own and would prepare it for them. I do not want for any good thing. How about you; do you know the (Shepherd)? John 10:14, "I am the Good Shepherd, and I/ know My own, and My own know (Me)." The parentheses are mine for comparison. From the heart, Ray |

116 | How do magicians imitate blood plague? | Ex 7:22 | Ray | 136080 | ||
Hi Just Read Mark, I would say that it is important also that we realize that Moses did not turn the water into blood. For Moses was not a (m)Magician and did not claim to be one. Exodus 7:25 says, "And seven days passed after the Lord had struck the Nile." Exodus 7:20 says, "...And he lifted up the staff and struck the water that was in the Nile..." Verse twenty says that Moses lifted up the staff and struck the water and verse 25 says that the Lord had struck the Nile. What ties the two verses together in my mind is Exodus 7:17. Exodus 7:17, "Thus says the Lord, "By this you shall know that I am the Lord: behold, I will strike the water that is in the Nile with the staff that is in **My hand, and it shall be turned to blood." My interpretation with the capitalized **My is that the Lord is speaking. My interpretation is that Moses was not saying "I am the Lord", but rather he was saying, "Thus says the Lord". The bottom line is that it was by God's hand that the water was changed into blood. From the heart, Ray |

117 | How do magicians imitate blood plague? | Ex 7:22 | Ray | 136079 | ||
Hi Just Read Mark, The NASB for Exodus 7:22 reads, "But the magicians of Egypt did the same with their secret arts;" The NKJ reads, "Then the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments;" What you are asking is "How can the magicians change the water into blood when it has already been accomplished?" However, I did not read that the water in cisterns and jars were already turned to blood. Probably that is what they used in their activity of enchantment. Exodus 7:24 tells us that water could be found outside the Nile. "So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, for they could not drink of the water of the Nile." From the heart, Ray |

119 | what is the spirit of delusion? | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 135487 | ||
Hi herrubies, Welcome to the forum. If you have a profile or update to offer, please do that. I agree with EdB that the Scriptures do not speak of a spirit of delusion. And certainly in the view of capitalizing Deity there would be no Spirit of Delusion. Our God is spoken of as the Spirit of truth in the Scriptures. However, the name of Satan is capitalized because it is a name given him. And he is spoken of in some translations as the Lawless One. The Scripture that I would offer to you explaining this spirit would be 2 Thessalonians 2:8. 2 Thess 2:8, KJ, "And then shall the Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:" 2 Thess 2:8, NASB, "And then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming," I personally would go with the NASB and the "lawless one" who is Satan. 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says that he is even going to display himself as being God, but of course he is not, although he is spoken of as the god of this world. But we as believers are looking for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to (Him). 2 Thess 2:1. There are other Scriptures: Delude: Colossians 2:4, James 1:22 Deluded: Isaiah 19:13, Isaiah 47:10 Delusion: Jeremiah 10:3, 8 But the Lord is the true God: He is the living God and the everlasting (King).
