121 | are there innocent victims in the bible | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 22390 | ||
Hi Godslittlehelper, Luke 13:4 comes to mind in regard to your question. "Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem? I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." What I see Christ saying is that there is no guarantee that bad things will not happen in our lives. There is no protective hedge that Satan said was around Job. Yet the context in Luke appears to infer that there is that possibility. If we are fruitful then He will not "cut us down" or curse us as He does the fig tree in Matthew 21. And also, He will not allow us to be cut down before we have a chance to be repentant and bear fruit. See Luke 13:6-9. |

Hi Nolan, I think that it is sad but true that a lot of people won't know what I meant by the Bible "sword drill". But that was fun. P.S. Isn't it great that we serve a teacher rather than a thief? Later, Ray | ||||||
124 | Why does everything happen in thirds? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 24127 | ||
Hi Sir Pent, Like I have said; I am no mathmetician. The information about the digits being added together was new to me and I appreciate it. That makes the discussion on the "Jesus and 888" thread of more interest since the Greek word "Iesous" has a numerical value of 888. I noticed tonight that Christ is not divided. The Greek word Christos has a numerical value of 1480 so adding the digits brings a total that is not divisible by three. I am not a mathmetician; can you tell me who the "father" of math is? Later, Ray |

Hi Sir Pent, Thank you for your note and interesting information. The 'all is number' idea is interesting and ahead of his time when we think of the techology of today. But, as you say, God is the father of all things. Later, Ray | ||||||
126 | is the NIV a good bible to read? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 30213 | ||
Hi Hank, It's always good to hear from you for I enjoy your humor. I'm glad that you will let me study the book "sandwiched between Leviticus and Deuteronomy." It is one of the books that I have gone through and found the pronouns of Deity to be divisible by three. Be that as it may, I agree with you about "The Bible Code". It took only a glance at the book store for me to know that it holds no interest for me. But the book that I have been recommending is entirely different. You might give that a look and let me know what you think. Later, Ray |

127 | Where do angels sing in the Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 31484 | ||
Hi kalos, Here we are again, eh? O.K. The best I can come up with is Revelation 15:1-6 where between "seven angels who had seven plagues" in verse 1 and 6, we read the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb which they sang. Other than that just be aware of how closely connected praise is with singing in the Scriptures. Psalm 148, "Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights! Praise Him, all His angels; Praise Him, all His hosts!...Praise the Lord!" Psalm 149:1, "Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones." If the angels came out of that sanctuary, that temple of the tabernacle with unused vocal cords then they had not glorified His name. Revelation 15:4, "Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? For Thou alone art holy;" |

128 | Where do angels sing in the Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 31560 | ||
My dear friends, The fact of the matter is, no verse can be found where anyone can be found singing anything, angel or human person. Quote me the verse and the words that people were "singing" rather than "saying". In any case, I'll keep on singing and praising, whether you guys are convinced or not.:) 2 Chronicles 20:21.

Hi Tim, I got mail. I think I could have stated my position a little better. My post to Rafike Rich on 01-22-02, 9:52pm presents where I was coming from a little better. I was asking for someone to present a verse where it says the word "singing,..." instead of "saying,..." Your verses from Revelation are closest to what I had in mind. Revelation 5:9 and Rev 15:3 would have been exactly what I was asking for if by the use of your colon in the translated passages you hadn't left out the word "saying" that is in the Greek. What I'm asking for is a verse where people are "singing...(followed by the words of the song or Psalm)." And my point being that just because the word singing is not in the text does not eliminate the possibility that the words were said in song; in singing and praising. Thus, for instance, Luke 2:13 does not preclude or prohibit the angels from singing simply because the Greek text reads "saying... If you understand what I am saying please acknowledge it. As far as all of your references referring to humans;:) I have expressed elsewhere that the Rev 15:3 includes the seven angels of verse 1 and 6 as necessary participants if not the performing group.

Hi prayor warrior, Your scripture references and capitalization do not agree with what I read in the Bibles available to me. I understand what you are saying on the whole, but I can not say that your capitalization clears it up. How much have you read of New Age literature? Now there is a challenge. Later, Ray |

Hi prayor warrior, I had wanted to write you in a timely manner but got busy at other things. I am sure that we agree on most things here but I would like to point out some things that you have written that would be confusing to a study of capitalization. 1) This could have been a typo for you have written Holy One correctly in this post. Earlier you wrote, "Jesus was called the Holy one, Acts 2:27." 2) You wrote earlier about "The Righteous Judge, 2 Timothy 4:8. Both the NASB and NKJ read "the righteous Judge." 3) You wrote earlier that "He is Omnipotent". Rev 19:6, "the Lord God Omnipotent reigns" is translated in the NASB, "the Lord our God, the Almighty reigns". So we know that He is omnipotent because He is the Almighty. 4) You wrote earlier, "And we refer to Him as Almighty". Here in this post you list many verses where it talks about "the Almighty" and that is indeed how we refer to Him. He is omnipotent and almighty and all the other attributes, but we know Him as *the Almighty. He is El Shaddai. I appreciated your references and had a blessed time reading most of them. It is good for both of us to apply Job 22:21 to our study, "[Know intimately] Yield now and be at peace with Him; Thereby good will come to you. Please receive instruction from His mouth And establish His words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored [built up]." It is good for us to establish His words in our hearts. Job 34:3, "For the ear tests words As the palate tastes food. Let us choose for ourselves what is right; Let us know among ourselves what is good." Job 37:22b, NKJ, "With God is awesome majesty. As for the Almighty, we cannot find Him; He is excellent in power, In judgment and abundant justice; He does not oppress. Therefore men fear Him; He shows no partiality to any who are wise of heart." From the heart, Ray |

Hi Sandra, Thanks for your Isaiah scripture and your reply. It does take a bit of courage to write our thoughts here, for the posts leave us vulnerable to fault-finding about not only about our grammer but our spelling.:) You have done well. I also will be coveting prayers as I face some physical health problems. So, again I appreciate your Scripture and encourage you to keep up the good fight. From the heart, Ray |

135 | Similarities of Moses and Jesus? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 35233 | ||
Hi armadeuse, Can you speak more about your view of "false modesty"? Perhaps even as regards Moses and ourselves for this thread. From the heart, Ray |

136 | Similarities of Moses and Jesus? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 35400 | ||
Hi prayon, I didn't mean to infer that you were saying that Moses was Jesus, but I wanted you to make it clear that he was not because of the beliefs of the one who says that Joshua was Jesus. Someone else is stating information of mythical gods and the myths about them, comparing them with Biblical accounts, showing similarities and casting doubt on the truth of the Scriptures. You are showing similarities of events and men that tie in the Old and the New testaments and throw light on the truth of the gospel. I encourage you in your list. As far as the "head" is concerned, although I capitalize it in 1 Corinthians, only one is capitalized in the translations that capitalize, NASB and NKJ. That "Head" is found in the NKJ, Colossians 2:16-19, "So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance [body] is of Christ. Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has [or has not] seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding fast to the Head [sic], from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God." The brackets are mine. But that is another thread and I think an interesting study. "Head" words are found three times in Colossians and three times in Ephesians. From the heart, Ray |

137 | What verse comes to mind? Fear Him only | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 36134 | ||
Hi Steve, Great words of praise here for the only God, our Savior in whose presence we hope to abide, and indeed we in His presence now as He keeps us from stumbling. (God) is able. Did you consider Romans 16:25 also? "Now to (Him) who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past, but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith; to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen." God is able to keep us from stumbling and able to establish us. The eternal God, the only wise God. Thanks Steve. I hope more people respond. How about Ephesians 3:20ff From the heart, Ray |

138 | Is that not devine revelation? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 36968 | ||
Hi childoftheking, Your post was my reaction as well. One does not add to the Scriptures. However, I do believe that the addition of capitalization to the Scriptures that the Greek and Hebrew do not allow for can add a more exact meaning to them. This verse of John 8:32 is a case in point. Here is my rendering for what it is worth of John 8:32, "and you shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free." It is the capitalized, recognized Deity of the Son that will set you free. John 8:36, "If therefore the Son shall set you free, you will be free indeed." If the father of armygrunt had full use and understanding of capitalization, perhaps he had something to add. For the truth is more than an "it". He is the Truth. From the heart, Ray |

139 | 1st Cor 14:34-35 and 1st Timothy 2:12 | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 37202 | ||
Hi gump, My suggested comparison verses would be 1 Corinthians 14:33 and 1 Timothy 3:4,5. 1 Cor 14:33, "...for God is not a (God) of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints." 1 Timothy 3:4,5, "He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity (but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of (God)?)" Parentheses mine for comparison. ******* 1 Corinthians 11:13, "Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to (God) with head uncovered?" I think that it is a matter of how things are perceived by other people. If a man prays with a hat or cap on, (or a man sings our National Anthem with one on) they are perceived as disgracing their God or nation. They are not giving the expected respect to their Head or nation. 1 Corinthians 11:5, "But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying, disgraces her head;..." If she is praying and usurping the leadership of the man then she is disgracing her head. There is no doubt, however, that men have fallen short of their responsibilities as leaders of their families and churches. 1 Timothy 1:6, "For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion, wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions." And working our way back in the Scriptures, verse 5, "But the goal of our instruction [commandment] is love from a pure heart, and a good conscience and a sincere faith." And verse 4b,..."furthering the administration of (God) [God's provision] which is by faith." We need both men and women of faith who will lead our families and churches. But we need our men to act like men and be strong; not giving up our leadership easily or thoughtlessly. 1 Corinthians 12:4, "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same (Spirit). And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. And there are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good." Verse 11, "But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as (He) wills." Verse 24, "But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked, that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another." From the heart, Ray |

140 | Mt 24:5, use the holy spirit of your god | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 40150 | ||
Hi JMSCOTT, Read 1 Cor 2:10, "For to us God revealed [these things] through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God." Jim, do you see the capitalized word, Spirit? Do you see the contrast between the spirital thoughts that we have and the Spirit of God? Do you see that we who love Him have received the Spirit who is from God, and not the spirit of the world? Again, do you see the difference between spirit and Spirit? 1 Corinthians 2:16, "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct Him?..." Do you see the difference between he and Him? The spiritual things of God are taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. Verse 14, "But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God;..." Do you see the difference between man and God? If you see the difference between man and God, then I think it is time for you to reflect that in your writing. Give God the glory that is due Him, and capitalized His name. For He is not like you or me. Now on Matthew 24:7 you wrote, "let jesus answer for you." What I see Jesus answering in verse 4 and 5 here is that there is authority in His name. "And Jesus [notice the capitalization?] answered and said to them, "See to it that no one [notice the lower case?] misleads you. For many will come in My name, [notice the capitalization?] saying, 'I am [notice the misleading?] the Christ,' and will mislead many." Here is the lack of authority that I see you, JMSCOTT, giving to His name, for here is the rendering that I would see you offering for Matthew 24:5, "For many will come in my name, saying, "i am the christ", and will mislead many." Yes, Jim, I am saying that you are misleading us. Matthew 5:37, "But let your statement be, "Yes, yes," or "No, nor"; and anything beyond these is evil."[or, from the evil one]. Do you see the difference between Yes and yes? From No and no? From the evil one and the Righteous One? Let us make our statements as clear as we can make them. Don't mislead us any more. From the heart, Ray |
