122 | 3 main miracles performed | NT general | Tamara Brewington | 204307 | ||
I am seeing four; Release from demon possession: Mathew 12:22,23 Luke 11:14 - salvation makes you holy. Resurrection from the dead: Luke 7:11-17, John 11:1-45 - salvation gives eternal life. Release from physical infirmity: Mathew 9:27-31, luke 17:11-21, John 5:1-9 - salvation cures the incurable, restores spiritual sight, restores one's spiritual abilities. Prophecy: Mathew 24:4-14,Mark 10:32-34, Mark 14:27-31 - salvation restores man to a right relationship with God. I like Sunday School Bible quizzes, they make me work, don't stop posting them please. God bless, Tamara |

123 | how old is this world? | Genesis | Tamara Brewington | 203701 | ||
I think that the first thing to consider when thinking about this very important question is to consider that if God was able to perform great miracles like the 10 plagues of Egypt, or the parting of the Red Sea and most importantly the advent of Jesus Christ as God with all the attendant proof that He is God, then there is no reason not to believe that God created the earth in 6 literal 24 hour days. Secondly, the word for day is Yom in Hebrew and refers in most instances to literal 24 hour periods as in Exodus 20:8 where Moses uses the word Yom as a literal 24 hour period (he never intended that the Sabbath was an extremely long day of a thousand years or so, he meant 24 hours and was referring to creaiton when he used the word Yom). Thirdly the verse in II Peter 3:8; there has been gross eisegesis by those who see this as one day being as a thousand years to God as referring to creation. The verse is specifically referring to God being long suffering to those who are perishing, down in verse 9, as that His long suffering is such that one day is as a thousand years, not that one day is a thousand years. When plain sense makes good sense seek no other sense, use this as a barometer when trying to figure out numbers in the Bible... It will yeild a basis for sound exegesis. The earth was created in six days, and God rested on the seventh, its just a miracle. | ||||||
124 | Need good book series...entire bible... | Gen 1:1 | Tamara Brewington | 204829 | ||
Dear Egosophist, Welcome to the forum! OK you have finished your masters and are going on to your Phd. So what you will be looking for are exegetical commentaries, assuming your masters was in a religious area that is, and that you are moving on to a Phd. in a religious area... If you are moving from a masters in a non religious area to a Phd. in a non religious area you would be starting off with a study oriented commentary (don't get a devotional commentary you will be sorely disappointed). There are all kinds of series out there, but you have to know which type of commentary would suit your needs. For a good study oriented commentary there are a whole lot of series and authors and many series have books by differing authors in their series; New Testament Commentary 12 volumes, by William Hendrickson and Simon J. Kesetmaker - from the Reformed position. Keil and Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament 10 volumes. The Boice Expositional Commentaries on CD ROM. John MacArthur's Bible Commentary Series For The New Testament a whole lot of volumes, several for some books of the NT. Great Author's Works Martin Luther's Works on CD ROM. The John Calvin Collection. The Arthur Pink Collection. The John Owen Collection. The Jonathan Edwards Timothy Dwight Collection. The Charles Spurgeon Collection. The John Piper Collection. The Some of the Great Church Fathers - this is a short list of an exhaustive list; The Works of Augustine. The Works of Polycarp. The Works of Justin Martyr. The Works of Tertullian. The Works of Iraneaus. The Works of Thomas Aquinas. A good exegetical commentary is hard to find unless you already know your authors, this becomes a major drawback. Here are some very well known exegetical commentary authors, they have not all written a complete commentary series but some of them have covered almost all the Bible; The Works of Godet. The Works of Spinoza. The Works of Lenski. The Works of Lightfoot. The Works of F.F.Bruce. Exegetical Commentary Series - these types of series are hard to find but there are a whole lot more than these. New International Critical Series - a very good series. Anchor Bible Series - a good series. Blacks Exegetical Commentary Series - some authors are better than others. The Bakes Exegetical Commentary Series - some series are better than this one. I am just a student at a little non accreditated Bible School, but the professor's there have been a treasure trove of information about good study sources. I went looking for you through two years worth of scattered notes to find this stuff, but if you are really serious, which it seems you are, and if you have the money, it is all worth investing in. Don't ever sell your religious text books to get back the money, once you invest in them, they will stand you by for a life time. eamil me at whatdoyoubelieve.com for a page worth of online bible study tools if you are really going to study for a whole year in preparation, if you don't have these tools already, they will be invaluable. I hope this helped, God Bless, Tamara |

126 | what does verse 4 chapter 18 mean | Gen 1:1 | Tamara Brewington | 205613 | ||
Dear mhigh, What we have here is the first genealogy of the Bible that is the very beginning of the lineage of Jesus! What you have stumbled onto is the beginning of the line of Jesus, most folks think that it begins with Abraham because God have Him the promise that He would bless His seed in all the nations. Others trace it from David who was given the promise of an heir to the eternal throne. Here is what I found studying this; Genesis 5:1-32; Adam to Noah. Genesis 10:1-32; Noah to Joktan. The important person to trace here is Shem he carries the genealolgy of Jesus. Genesis 11:10-32; Shem to Abram. The imprtant person to trace here is Abram who becomes Abraham he carries the genealogy of Jesus. Genesis 12-49; Abraham to Isaac to Jacob to Judah. Mathew 1; take all the names after Judah and look then up them up in the Strong's Concordance to see what book they appear in all the way up to Jesus. Hope this helped, God Bless, Tamara |

Dear Jim, I may have been wrong, I was going by the verse picked as Gen. 1:1 thinking that person meant Genesis 4:18! Good point, good point! Tam |

128 | Please HelpUnderstanding Sola Scriptura? | Gen 1:1 | Tamara Brewington | 205817 | ||
Dear Forum members, I understand this much about Sola Scriptura - that the Bible is the sole authoritative word of God. Please correct me if this is a wrong understanding and what if any tenets are listed in this understanding? I did go to Cristian.org and read the article but wonder if there is such a list which I am describing of tenets. Thanks everyone for putting up with my ignorance about some things some times...Tam |

129 | Please HelpUnderstanding Sola Scriptura? | Gen 1:1 | Tamara Brewington | 205830 | ||
Dear lookinforacity, Thank you for understanding that my question was Biblicaly based! It was about a Biblical concept and therefore Biblicaly based... The forum says this; Postings must be Biblically based and not opposing the Bible's sole authority (sola Scriptura), Christianity, or the deity of Jesus Christ. Whenever possible, postings should include supporting Bible references. It says "whenever possible, posting should include supporting Bible references". I tried for all three things I posted last night to use the pick a book of the Bible feature, but the scripture did not appear in any of my posts evern though the page flipped like it should and originaly showed the book I had in mind. So, I guess there are no tenets, by which I mean the Biblical and third dictionary definition as being doctrines, that could be said to comprise Sola Scriptura... You have included a principle here as "to be the only infallible source and rule of faith, and asserts the right of private interpretation of the same, in distinction from the Roman Catholic view, etc.". I get the infallible source and rule fo faith part, but not the private interpretation part, I thought we weren't suppossed to be doing that? All in all though I think you give a thorough explaination of what Sola Scriptura is not; the traditions of men as inculcating the church of Rome. I had a nother question that was hitting on a similar concept, that somehow the traditions of men seem to be held up in some Baptists churches as well crafted traditions of men as being as important as the Sola Scriptura! God's Day To You, Thanks Jim, Tamara |

133 | Us and Our not found in Hebrew language? | Gen 1:21 | Tamara Brewington | 203786 | ||
Hey I have to prepare to do Bible Study tomorrow morning in case the teacher is ansent. Here is the question about Genesis... I was doing a word study and came across a puzzle perhaps someone deeper that me can solve this puzzle; Gensis chapter one, verse 1:26 in Hebrew it does not say the words Us or Our when talking about creating man as our English tranlations do... Does anybody know who added the Us and Our, was it the Septuagint or what and why did they add it because without it actualy reads in straight Hebrew; "and He is saying Elohim make mankind in image as likenss and they shall over the flyer of the heavens and in beast and in all the earth and in every moving the one moving on land"? | ||||||
134 | Thank you Lionheart but where is it? | Gen 1:21 | Tamara Brewington | 203788 | ||
Yeah I hear you Lionheart already did that, that part was clear what is not clear is that the word Our and Us is not really there in your Strong's or in any other translation of the actual Hebrew, the concept is not the problem that the word was added by somebody and why is the problem. I am using the Esword and the Scriptureanalayzer4all and those words Our and Us are not actually there in Hebrew! Its fine to point everyone to that Elohim means gods plural, the triune God, but that does not adequately explain the Us and Our not realy being in the true text. | ||||||
135 | Thank you Lionheart but where is it? | Gen 1:21 | Tamara Brewington | 203794 | ||
Lionheart, I am thinking that the writers of the Greek Septuagint, which is the Greek version of the Hebrew Torah, from which we get our 5 books of the law in the Old Testament(as opposed to the Jews who do not use the Septuagint, but the Hebrew Torah) decided to translate the words make and likeness as, let Us make, and, in Our likeness, to fit their theology that Elohim is a triune God. But my God man, that is eisegesis isn't it? We are supposed to do exegesis, pulling out of the text the real meaning, not putting into the text our impression of what it should mean. The Hebrew Alphabet didn't change from then to now, it's still the same, the translation of the Ancient Torah says the exact same thing that the Strong's says it says and the Jews never changed the language of it to fit modern times, they speak other languages now, rather than Hebrew but kept the language of their holy books intact in writing and speech from then to now. My wonderment is if the Septuagint which is the Greek translation of the Hebrew Torah, which was written by first century Christians added Us and Our to jive with their beleifs in order to make the Bible conform to those beliefs... I get what you are saying about symbology and metaphors, but Genesis as narrative is historical literature in nature and does not employ the devices of symbolism like Daniel for instance and metaphors like in the Parables for instance (although some would disagree because they don't believe what it says happened word for word and say it is metaphorical myth with symbolic language to get people to understand that God created the world somehow or other, but not that way, they don't like talking serpents and trees that kill, or death from sin). I will keep trying to discover why this ambiguity exists... | ||||||
136 | Doc help me, textual criticism website? | Gen 1:21 | Tamara Brewington | 203798 | ||
Thanks Doc, I have Stuart and Fee's How to Study the Bible for all its Worth and Stuart and Fee's Studying the Bible Book by Book and all of Norman D. Geilser's Systematic Theology and Wayene Grudem's Stematic Theology. I understand the principles of exegesis and hermeneutics and critical and literary criticism and am applying them all. So tell me, my dear brother in Chirst, I think you are probably deeper than me(pretty sure about that part), I just went into where you sent me with that link, problem that again is an English transliteration of Hebrew. Question Doc, realy seriously, are you certain that they didn't also add something that the literal translation, which looks and sounds choppy, did not have to make it readable, and where would I go on the web for some serious textual criticism on this? Beyond intrigued cause you might atcualy know where to go! |

I can see from going over my notes from class that my first question about wanting something on textual criticism was the right questions. I tried lookling at the Masoretic English transliteration and found it was the same as the Mamre text in its basic content. I will take your word for it that somehow the words Us and Our belong. I thank God I found someone (besides my pastor who is also one of my professors whom I bug to death, he says he doesn't mind)who is way way deeper in the word than I am... Thanks Doc God Bless, Tam | ||||||
139 | Biblical laws governing trees | Gen 1:28 | Tamara Brewington | 204027 | ||
Try looking at Genesis the first chapter where it talks about man making the earth to be in subjection to himself and and having dominion over the earth. And try Genesis 2 where God tells Adam to dress the gareden and keep it and not to eat of the tree of good and evil. I don't know of any other Biblical laws governing trees in the Bible other than Leviticus 19:23 where it says to count the fruit of the newly planted trees as forbidden for three years. Try this, go to www.blueletterbible.com and use the search engine there and type in trees, that is how I found the Leviticus text for you. God Bless, Tamara |

140 | Serpent possesed by the devil? | Gen 3:1 | Tamara Brewington | 204514 | ||
Was the serpent a real serpent who was possesed by the devil, or was it that serpent of old the Devil in serpent form? I can't find it in all my searching but there is a king in one of the major prophets who was possessed by the devil. We aren't supposed to draw parallels where they don't exist, but I was wondering if becuase the devil can possess a man, could he have possessed the serpent who was relegated to crawl on his belly henceforth? God Bless hat lady |
