101 | steward of our money? | Matt 25:14 | terrib | 148055 | ||
Hi Liveright, We get this from the parable of the talents. Mat 25:14 - 30 Webster's Dictionary: STEWARD, n. [G., a room. The steward was then originally a chamberlain or a butler.] 1. A man employed in great families to manage the domestic concerns, superintend the other servants, collect the rents or income, keep the accounts, See Gen 15:2 and 43:19. 2. An officer of state; as lord high steward; steward of the household. 3. In colleges, an officer who provides food for the students and superintends the concerns of the kitchen. 4. In a ship of war, an officer who is appointed by the purser to distribute provisions to the officers and crew. In other ships, a man who superintends the provisions and liquors, and supplies the table. 5. In Scripture and theology, a minister of Christ, whose duty is to dispense the provisions of the gospel, to preach its doctrines and administer its ordinances. It is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 1 Cor 4. terrib |

Hi Smiles77, This is the closest I found are two entries in Strong's Dictionary. Strong's : G3581 xen'-os (ksayn-os) Apparently a primary word; foreign (literally alien, or figuratively novel); by implication a guest or (vice-versa) entertainer: - host, strange (-r). Xena' (ksay-na) (not in Strong's Dictionary) plural of xenos (according to my Greek friend, George) ------------------- Strong's : G3578 xenia xen-ee'-ah (ksayn-ee-ah) From G3581; hospitality, that is, (by implication) a place of entertainment: - lodging. Hope this may help. terrib |

103 | Can you suggest some scripture texts tha | 1 Tim 4:12 | terrib | 147959 | ||
Dear Reverend, 1Ti 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Joh 21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. Joh 21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. Joh 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. Mat 20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; Mat 20:27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Mat 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. If you put Christ first the true congregation will follow the leadership of their shepard. terrib |

104 | absent from the body | Rom 8:23 | terrib | 147953 | ||
Hi Towanda, The first part of your question has to do with the soul. Absent from the body, there is a separation of the soul from the body when we die. The body goes in the ground and the soul goes to God. 2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. The second part of your question has to do with the body. The dead in Christ (1 Th 4:16) is talking of the bodies of the believers that are in the ground that will be raised and glorified like Jesus' body was at his resurrection. 1 Th 4:13: But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. The word "asleep" is a common term used for the dead. Compare, 1Ki 2:10 So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. 1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. terrib |

Hi kttyfx93, You wrote,"I'm a new member of a church and for our Bible study we have a quiz. The question is what is considered unsafe?"

107 | Any Hebrew translators out there? | Josh 22:22 | terrib | 147920 | ||
Hi Ray, Since nobody has responded to your Hebrew translation I am sending the following to you: You wrote concerning Jos 22:22: "How many nouns and pronouns of Deity would you count for the verse?" NOTE: the brackets [] and (numbers) that are inserted are mine. Jos 22:22 NASB "The Mighty One, God, the LORD, the Mighty One, God, the LORD! [ El(1) Elohim(2) Yehovah(3), El(4) Elohim(5) Yehovah(6) ] He(7) knows, and may Israel itself know. If it was in rebellion, or if in an unfaithful act against the LORD [ Yehovah(8) ] do not save us this day! The count is 8. Commentary: Jos 22:22: The Lord God of gods - The original words are exceedingly emphatic, and cannot be easily translated. (àì àìäéí éäåä(font unreadable by forum font limitations)) El Elohim Yehovah, are the three principal names by which the supreme God was known among the Hebrews, and may be thus translated, the strong God, Elohim, Jehovah, which is nearly the version of Luther, der starcte Gott der Herr, “The strong God the Lord.” And the Reubenites, by using these in their very solemn appeal, expressed at once their strong unshaken faith in the God of Israel; and by this they fully showed the deputation from the ten tribes, that their religious creed had not been changed; and, in the succeeding part of their defense they show that their practice corresponded with their creed. The repetition of these solemn names by the Reubenites, etc., shows their deep concern for the honor of God, and their anxiety to wipe off the reproach which they consider cast on them by the supposition that they had been capable of defection from the pure worship of God, or of disaffection to their brethren. (Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible) NOTE: The font system on this forum does not allow the for the correct font to be used, therefore the above is as close as can be with the forum's font limitations. terrib |

110 | Children are God's , not man's | Bible general Archive 2 | terrib | 147816 | ||
Greetings uh-oh, The First Commandment given to man: Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply... Marriage instituted: Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Eve had a husband: Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. Adam had a wife: Gen 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. The seed is to go to your wife, period. Maybe one could look at it as a form of prostitution. The selling of oneself. About giving your children to the heathen, possibly you were thinking of: Lev 20:2 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones. But this had to do with human sacrifices. Hope this helps, terrib |

111 | Choosing a bilbe text | Matt 10:8 | terrib | 147802 | ||
Greetings Techguy, I believe the American Standard Version is also available off copyright. Maybe you could have different versions available and let the user decide which format they would prefer. I believe your referencing would be done by Book, Chapter and Verse, so whichever one they would pick, the referencing index would be the same. In your question you seem to like the word "free", is your work going to be freely given also? The "newbie" you refer to, is it new to the Scriptures or to the programming or to the marketing? Zondervan has a NIV available for phones. Also, you could do a Google search. Tip: use "phone bible mobile" (without the quotes) for Google. Check the other shareware or freeware sites, ZDNet, PCWorld, etc. for more info. Mat 10:8 (KJV) "...freely ye received, freely give" Hope this helps, terrib |

112 | Head of the household passage - where? | Eph 5:23 | terrib | 147800 | ||
Greetings Roro, Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. terrib |

115 | how did satan survive the flood? | Gen 7:23 | terrib | 147728 | ||
Hello 29602004, Gen 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. Gen 7:23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. The Scriptures only talk of those things created, on the Earth or the face of the ground, during the six days. Angels being immortal and not subject to the laws which constrain us on Earth: Luk 20:36 "Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels...". And Satan, being an angel, although fallen, (from Grace), was-is still an angel. As Satan appeared to Eve as a serpent and angels have appeared to some of old and new as men. They are not bound by the laws of our physical realm. They are spirits, (Heb 1:7) "...who maketh his angels spirits...". Just a note: The Scriptures do not say the fish in the sea. terrib |

116 | How does death work in us? | 2 Cor 4:12 | terrib | 147704 | ||
Hello Mommapbs, Not only was this apostle aware of the physical torments of a fleshly death, but also, I see Paul saying that in them, those that have put on Christ and are giving their life for their friends, are constantly putting away the deeds of the flesh. Denying themselves of their own needs so the Grace of God could be manifested to others in order to gain souls for the kingdom of God. Paul states, I "die daily", that is, not excepting the desires of this life, counting them as nothing compared to the prize that awaits. We are buried with Christ and in Christ, dead to the laws of the flesh, constantly choosing between life or death, in the body and in the mind. A part wanting to do good and then choosing that want. A never ending battle against those powers that would take us away. As Paul states, (2 Cor. 4:15), "For all things are for your sakes...". Not looking after his own needs. Thereby tormenting the tormentor and openly showing the power of the resurrection of Christ and the Spirit that dwells with-in, to the Glory of the Father. Therefore, the death that works in us is for our good by the will of the Father. A paper I have saved since believing our Lord: "Dying To Self" "When you lovingly and patiently bear any disorder, any irregularity, any impunctuality, or any annoyance; when you can stand face to face with waste, folly, extravagance, spiritual insensibility... and endure it, that is dying to self. When you are content with any food, any offering, any raiment, any climate, any society, any solitude, any interruption by the "Will of God", that is dying to self. When you never care to refer to yourself in conversation, or to record your own good works, or itch after commendation, -- when you can truly love to be unknown, that is dying to self. When you can see your brother prosper, and have his needs met, and can honestly rejoice with him in spirit and feel no envy nor question God, while your own needs are far greater, in desperate circumstances, that is dying to self. When you can receive correction and reproof from one of less stature than yourself, and can humbly submit inwardly as well as outwardly, finding no rebellion nor resentment rising up with-in your heart, that is dying to self." -- Submitted by Barbara Burres -- Grace to you, terrib |

117 | god helps those who help themselves | Prov 28:26 | terrib | 147617 | ||
Greetings ram658, "Many people believe that quote came from the Bible. Many people obviously don't read their Bibles. This particular quote is nowhere to be found in all of Scripture. So where did it come from? Would you believe it came from GREEK MYTHOLOGY?? Specifically, it came from one of Aesop's fables. There's a story about a wagoner and Hercules that runs like this: "A Wagoner was once driving a heavy load along a very muddy way. He came to a part of the road where the wheels sank half-way into the mire, and the more the horses pulled, the deeper sank the wheels. So the Wagoner threw down his whip, and knelt down and prayed to Hercules the Strong. 'O Hercules, help me in this my hour of distress." But Hercules appeared to him, and said: 'Man, don't sprawl there. Get up and put your shoulder to the wheel. The gods help them that help themselves." The saying "the gods help those that help themselves" evolved to "God helps those who help themselves" as the phrase was repeated and passed on from culture to culture throughout the centuries. Today Christians often quote the phrase thinking it's biblically based, without realizing that it actually originated from pagan mythology!" (Courtesy of www.vesselofhonour.com) Opposite of Biblical teaching: Jer 17:5 (NIV) This is what the LORD says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the LORD." Prov 28:26 (NIV) He who trusts in himself is a fool... terrib |

118 | I think you misunderstood my question. | 2 Thess 2:3 | terrib | 147531 | ||
Greetings My_Merritt123, 2 Thes 2:1-12 First, we must look at the entire context of this. The context of thought is from verse 1 through verse 12 and the main thought is "regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" in verse 1. Commentary quote: "There is scarcely any passage of the New Testament which has given occasion to greater diversity of opinion than this. Though the reference seems to be plain, and there is scarcely any prophecy of the Bible apparently more obvious and easy in its general interpretation;..." "Most Protestant commentators have referred it to the great apostasy under the papacy, and, by the “man of sin,” they suppose there is allusion to the Roman Pontiff, the Pope. It is evident that we are in better circumstances to understand the passage than those were who immediately succeeded the apostles. Eighteen hundred years have passed (written circa 1880’s) away since the Epistle was written, and the “day of the Lord” has not yet come, and we have an opportunity of inquiring, whether in all that long tract of time any one man can be found, or any series of men have arisen, to whom the description here given is applicable. If so, it is in accordance with all the proper rules of interpreting prophecy, to make such an application. If it is fairly applicable to the papacy, and cannot be applied in its great features to anything else, it is proper to regard it as having such an original reference. Happily, the expressions which are used by the apostle are, in themselves, not difficult of interpretation, and all that the expositor has to do is, to ascertain whether in any one great apostasy all the things here mentioned have occurred. If so, it is fair to apply the prophecy to such an event; if not so, we must wait still for its fulfillment." (Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible) The rebellion, (actually 'apostasia' is the word here or apostasy) from Adam was an individual rebellion whereas the rebellion in Thessalonians is a great organized falling away from the truth through the "man of sin" who is connected with that rebellion. Who is this "man of sin", (2Th 2:4) "He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god and object of worship. As a result, he seats himself in the sanctuary of God and declares himself to be God." ("in the sanctuary of God" is within the church, the "man of sin" will come from within the church of God). Since Paul is talking about, "that day cannot come unless the rebellion takes place first", "that day", the Day of the Lord", so the "man of sin" does not have to do with anyone in Paul's immediate time but a future event. And "man" here does not mean one person, it is a general term such as, "man has built great cities", not meaning one man built the cities. There has been "man" that has said he was God on Earth and that he is here in the place of God and Christ, the Popes, to whom the most blasphemous titles have been given, such as Dominus Deus noster papa, meaning, 'Our Lord God the pope'; Deus alter in terrâ, meaning, 'Another God on earth'; Idem est dominium Dei et papae, meaning, 'The dominion of God and the pope is the same'; and today we hear about "The Holy Father", the Pope. The overwhelming majority of scholars relate this rebellious apostasy with the false doctrines and traditions with the Roman Catholic Church. All this must be taken with an open mind and with understanding of history and looking at events of the day. None of these Scriptures or comments are to demean the Catholic people, and I do not judge any, but to open an interest into the examining of mens doctrines compared to those of God's. I know these are hard things to say but I believe I have the Spirit of the Lord on this and no offense is given. Also, consider other passages in Scripture: 2Th 2:11 (ISV) "For this reason, God will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie." Mat 23:9 (ISV) "And don't call anyone on earth 'Father,' for you have only one Father, the one in heaven." Rev 17:4-6 "And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:..." Rev 17:18 "And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth." Rev 18:4 "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

Greetings Nathen2, The things esteemed foolish among people. Here Paul is refering to those who were destitute of learning, social standing, wealth, heritage or pedigree, and who were esteemed as fools, and are despised by the rich and the great. And the comparison is in the preceeding verse: 1Co 1:26(KJV) "For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:" As it is today, when one preaches the Gospel, you can see the heads wag, the heads of the wise that are going to miss eternity. terrib |

120 | Jesus wept !... did Jesus ever laugh? | Luke 10:21 | terrib | 147399 | ||
The marriage in Cana: A marriage festival is a very gala event. I can't imagine Jesus, The Lord of Grace, being a stick-in-the-mud. The gayety and happiness for the bride and groom would be intoxicating at such an event. As others have said, sometimes one would have to read between-the-lines in such cases. (John 2:1-2 KJV) "And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage." And, because He was "called", or invited, Jesus and-or His family were friends with either the groom or the bride. And friends, especially in those times, where friends, not just acquaintances, you are always happy for your friends and responded in like manner. And I can't see Jesus, with a sober face, saying, (Luke 15:7 KJV) ..."that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth..." or (Luke 15:10 KJV), "...there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." Following the character of Christ, it is apparent, even through unwritten Scripture, that He was human also and knew and did things as we do; cry, laugh, be sad and ... be full of an unspeakable joy. So, in a way, I see the passage, "Jesus wept", as a mixture of sorrow and gladness. Sorrow, because of the weeping of His friends and gladness because The Father has given Him the opportunity to show the masses that were assembled to see and witness the Glory of God, His Mercy and Greatness and declare and illustrate the truth of the resurrection that was in the Christ. terrib |
