The Matthew 18:15-17 passage about church discipline should be read in light of the parable of the lost sheep in vv. 12-14. The goal is restoration. The 6:1-6 passage of Paul's first Corinthian letter treats of the problems of litigation in heathen courts. The two passages are related in a general way perhaps, but I'd hesitate to call them parallel passages by any means. I'll reserve comment on the last segment of your question because I'm not clear what you're asking. Perhaps someone else will be and can contribute something worthwhile to the conversation. --Hank | ||||||

Cuddle, some years ago I shelled out the shekels for an Inductive Study Bible and frankly didn't like it very much, although I do have a certain respect for the idea of studying the Bible using the inductive approach championed by Kay Arthur. It was all those colored pencils and involved color codings of Scripture passages that drove me up the wall. I'm not the neatest craftsman on the block and it didn't take me long with all those brightly colored pencils to make an inglorious mess of what began as a well-printed and sensibly designed Bible. This idea of color coding reminds me too much of the Rainbow Bible, from which I stay away as far possible. I love the colors of the rainbow but feel they were meant for rainbows and not Bibles :-) ..... For what it's worth, I hit upon an alternative to the Inductive Study Bible that has served my purposes. I bought a copy of Kay Arthur's little book called, "How to Study Your Bible." She lays down her ideas of inductive study fairly well in this book, and the principles of inductive study can, of course, be applied to any edition of any translation. I don't clutter up any Bible that I own by writing in it -- no marginal notes and no highlighting or underlining. I do jot down notes with some frequency, but I do my jotting in a separate place, in a notebook/journal sort of thing. ..... Your concerns on the durability of Bibles being printed today are well taken. Unfortunately some publishers charge premium prices and deliver poor quality merchandise. I have a copy of the NASB single-column reference edition in large (11 point) print, bound in soft and supple calfskin leather, with Smythe-sewn spines instead of being slapped together with a glob of glue, that has proved durable, but it's a bit pricey. It's printed and bound by Foundation Publications, an arm of the Lockman Foundation. ..... I don't find your question trivial in the least, Cuddle. Believe me, I've seen scores of questions on SBF that were "farer trivialer than ewers"! --Hank | ||||||

Dear Buffy - While I intend to pray for your family and the problems that they have, and ask my fellow Forum registrants to join me in prayer, I deem it most unwise for this Forum to attempt to dispense specific advice beyond this: that you or whoever has legal custody of this child get her to a qualified professional as soon as possible. --Hank | ||||||

127 | KJV uses LXX, NET uses MT, NASB uses ? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 183629 | ||
Dear Hebers Wife - Thanks for your question. I believe you will find that the King James Bible translators relied more heavily on what is now called the Textus Receptus (Received Text) than on any other source, including the LXX (Septuagint). In regard to the Greek text underlying the NASB translation of the NT, the Foreword to the NASB 1995 Update states: "Consideration was given to the latest available manuscripts with a few to determining the best Greek text. In most instances the 26th edition of Eberhard Nestle's Novum Testamentum Graece was followed." .... The Eberhard Nestle, now in its 27th edition, is what scholars commonly call the Critical Text, which is an eclectic text compliled by a committee of scholars and revised from time to time. There are differences of opinion among scholars as to what, in the words of the NASB Foreword, "the best Greek text" is. If you are interesting in reading more about the Greek text NASB used primarily, I'd suggest you do as I did. Google. Type in Eberhard Nestle Novum Testamentum Graece. You will be directed to a number of web sites that may be useful to you. --Hank | ||||||
128 | Jude quotes Enoch? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 184115 | ||
Dear West - The source of the information contained in Jude was the Holy Spirit who inspired it along with 65 other canonical books. The fact that the information in vs. 9 was recorded in the pseudepigraphal "Assumption of Moses" and in vs. 14 in the pseudepigraphal "Book of Enoch" has absolutely no effect on its accuracy and trustworthiness. --Hank | ||||||

130 | They are married,is it sin to have oral? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 185159 | ||
yowege - Sorry, it is not possible to provide you with any specific Bible passages that would satisfy your question, because Scripture is silent on this form of sexual expression. Therefore, should I choose to add anything further, it would constitute merely my opinion, and so I respectfully decline. --Hank | ||||||

133 | Stretching oneself on a person heals? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 186202 | ||
Dear love..peace..joy - These passages describe a type of diatherapy that was common in ancient times. The body of a healthy person was used to help a sick person. This kind of therapeutic procedure was administered to aging King David by the fair damsel Abishag the Shunammite. See 1 Kings 1:1-4. To my knowledge the church does not use the practice today. --Hank | ||||||

137 | The importance of Christian Doctrine | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 186432 | ||
ladyheart - If we may assume that you are asking a question such as, "Is Christian doctrine important?" .... or "How imporant is Christian doctrine?" -- then let's proceed on that assumption. ..... First of all, let's clear the decks, as it were, by defining what we mean when we say doctrine. Doctrine as we use in it connection with Scripture means teaching. When we speak of the apostles' doctrine, we are talking about what the apostles of our Lord taught to the first-century Christians. Christian doctrine is, in short, the corpus of the Christian message, the composite of all things that the authors of the New Testament were divinely inspired to write. To ask, therefore, about the importance of Christian doctrine is virtually tantamount to asking how important God's revealed word is. If you want to get a firm grasp of the importance of Christian teaching, read and study the book of Romans. Then I believe you would become prepared to come back to this Forum and testify to just how vital Christian doctrine really is! Bible references: 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:42; Romans 6:17 and 16:17; Ephesians 4:14; 1 Timothy 1:3, 4:13, 5:17, 6:1; 2 Timothy 4:2,3; and Titus 1:9. I do urge you to read and study these references in view of your question. --Hank | ||||||

139 | Calvin or Armini | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 186700 | ||
Your question, G-e, is not so simple as you say. It is. quite frankly, loaded -- meaning that it is freighted with presupposition -- because of the way you asked it. Here in essence is what you asked. You asked why would one of God's elect waste time arguing about Arminianism or studying Calvinism. You mentioned that you had made a brief study of each, and brief it must have been, since you didn't learn how to spell either. But there are Christians on both sides of the aisle, Calvinists and Arminians alike, who would take sharp issue with you about the wasting of time thing. The majority of registrants on this Forum use study tools, many of them in fact -- study Bibles, commentaries, concordances, dictionaries, and a variety of other reference works. And few if any of us believe that sola scriptura means "just me alone with my Bible." We all of us need teachers, both living ones and those who have gone before us. To learn what the saints of old have to teach us is as wise as trying to reinvent the wheel for ourselves is foolish. ..... There can be no substitute for feeding on the word of God. But there is a world of help available from the saints, living and dead, that can guide us and teach us as we feed. They in sharing with us the insights that the Holy Spirit shared with them, can help us extract more nourishment from the word of God. ..... My friend, the ancient creeds and confessions of the church didn't happen overnight, nor did the great systems of soteriology which you appear to hold in low esteem. They were, all of them, born of the careful study, fervent prayer, and sustained toil, tears, and sweat over many years by the saints of God. Who are we brash moderns, whose vision is limited and whose understanding so often flawed, that we dare think that the wise counsel of our fathers is no longer relevant? --Hank | ||||||

Dear Azure - You made history today, being the first person I've ever known to request an encore performance of my feeble efforts at poetry. :-) So, not wishing to disappoint, I'll try to reconstruct the jingle, or a reasonable facsimilie thereof, that once appeared in my user profile. Would you be willing to serve as chair person of my fan club, "Hank's Poetry Society"? Thanks, dear one, for your interest. I'm not only surprised but humbled! --Hank, a.k.a., Hankspeare | ||||||
