121 | Is this important to me today? | Hebrews | bowler | 207039 | ||
catfish 3 Doc makes some very excellent points there. I would like to add one. 1 Peter 2:5 you also, as living stones, are being built as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices accpetable to God through Jesus Christ. Where once there was an Aaronic priesthood and only some could be priests to God under the order of Aaron, now there is a new order of Jesus Christ as the high priest according to the order of Melchizedek. We are all, as believers part of this priesthood under Jesus Christ, a ministering priesthood as a spiritual house offering up sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Hebrews 13:15 Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

123 | DOUBLE AND TRIPLE NEGATIVES OF NT | Luke 22:18 | bowler | 206996 | ||
Tim Moran I am wondering how it works? Is it that the actual word is in itself a double negative? Or is it that the word appears two times in a sentence for emphasis? This is why I want to find the time to learn Greek. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

124 | question on overview | 2 Cor 8:13 | bowler | 206988 | ||
tachminite I seemed to have missed this one. Read the whole two passages about three times, it will stand out like the big blue sky because he talks about the one thing for the two whole passages without deviance. :-) Once you see what he was talking about you have to go chapter by chapter from one end of the book to the other, looking for the verses that dove tail with what he talks about in the two chapters you are studying. The verses are here and there, you just have to read the book with a pad and paper in hand and write down every verse that pertains. Then you have to read the whole book again with an eye of what the whole theme of the whole book is, there is a verse or two in there that are the theme, there always is. :-) :-) :-) No one yet that I know of has found just one theme for either Corinthians book, there are more than a few, and verses for each theme and sub theme. Try to chart the book on a piece of paper or three - one thing is spoken about, then Paul moves to a next theme, and a next and a next. Break them up and label them with the verse that is the theme for each section. It will help you understand if those two passages even do relate to the "whole book" or not. Happy studying, God bless you. blessings abound, bowler |

125 | Four Missionary Journeys? | 2 Tim 1:1 | bowler | 206987 | ||
Rolff I am still confused as I read through this branch. We have here maybe there was no fourth missionary journey. Maybe the fourth missionary journey happened after Paul got arrested in Acts and it was on his way to Rome while being shipwrecked. Maybe it was after the first imprisonment ended in about the end of 62 A.D. to the beginning of 63 A.D., where there was about a 3 to 5 year gap without a Biblical record of what he did other than the letters themselves, before he went to prison for the final time in about 66 A.D. to 68 A.D. Judging from the content of the letters he wrote after getting out of prison alone, I would not be certain what happened for sure, although my trusty NASB has decided it is certain that there was one. Looking at the journey being shipwrecked on the way to Rome the first time it is hard on the brain to think that while under arrest and perhaps only hitting the island of Miletus that this is when he was on a fourth journey writting letters that did not get written until he got out of prison... No one purported that that is just my brain. The NASB makes the ascertion that his "fourth" missionary journey took place in between the two prison terms, which makes more sense. There is lack of letters saying where abouts he was in the interim there and that he was making visits to the churches as being a more definitive barrometer to say there was a fourth journey during that time. Which is why I will stay confused. But I encourage everyone else to be sure :-).! blessings abound, bowler |

126 | DOUBLE AND TRIPLE NEGATIVES OF NT | Luke 22:18 | bowler | 206986 | ||
Rolff I know very little about Greek, just simple word studied and a little more. I am assuming from your profile that you teach at a seminary, or work at one and teach students in a Bible study setting at night. I must admit to enjoying very much to trying to figure out what you meant. So I first went hunting on the web and came up with these two examples according to the information on the site - Hebrews 13:5 Luke 22:15-18 http://www.faithfulbible.com/ However, the site off course fails to explain why these two would qualify as being double or triple negatives. I like the few features of this site however, I bookmarked it. Now, I need to ask you to please teach me why these two examples qualify as double or triple negatives, if they really do, when in English and in Greek to English translations the English grammar "concpet" of what a double or triple negative is does not appear. Thanks. blessings abound, bowler |

127 | Why is love philandros not agapao? | Titus 2:4 | bowler | 206984 | ||
Immanuelsown I completely agree with you about this! What Searcher was asking about though was why "philandros" and not "agapao"? Not making an arugment with you at all as I agree whole heartedly with what you are saying. First let me apologize to you and to Searcher and to everyone else too. I think I said before I don't know everything and that I am a worthless son. This time I flubbed it major league, I didn't stop to look up every bit of it. The word "philandros" only appears once in the NT in this passage and means specifically wifely love for a husband. The word for women to love their children is "philoteknos" and only appears once in the NT this passage and means specifically love for your children. I completely flubbed applying the "agapaos" and "phileo" concept to this passage, I was dead wrong. Sorry for the mix up, next time I will look it all up first like I usually do before I post anything. blessings abound, bowler |

128 | Why is love philandros not agapao? | Titus 2:4 | bowler | 206975 | ||
Searcher What you are asking made me think about how verse 5 goes on to say for the wives to be subject to their own husbands. Is it possible that within the context of the marriage relationship Paul intends for the wife to love her husband in all senses? As in 1 Corinthians 7:3, 4? As that is part of marital love it might, I say might, be why Paul says "philandros" rather than "sophronizo"? As to the children and the husband both the word "philandros" makes me think of an intimate personal love full of affection, rather than the godly "agapao" love that comes from the strength which God supplies by the power of the Holy Spirit, but which does not imply "brotherly affection". I could be very wrong, I don't claim to be right. These are just my thoughts based on trying to understand how Paul views marriage in the various passages he writes about it in. blessings abound, bowler |

129 | Marriage as a Covenant Relationship? | Eph 5:32 | bowler | 206973 | ||
Steve, Thank you for your view point. I happily agree to disagree, God makes covenants with people, God instituted marriage it is His covenant. I will cease and desist looking down the thread it is getting, well it is getting... Please feel free to post me back, I will be happy to hear from you and anybody else, but I will stop as I am not here to push my views. Again, I sincerely thank you for your very valid concerns and thoughts and appreciate the differnce in how we view it. I do not think I have all the answers, I do not claim to be right. I am a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

130 | Missions question | 1 Cor 9:1 | bowler | 206972 | ||
tachminite Please listen to Searcher he is realy trying to help you out here. Perhaps where you are from the there is an expression "three selves". I have never heard this before. It makes me wonder if you mean the trinity? Think about the three omni's and how they "literaly manifested" themselves in the Christian community, you will arrive at the answer. As to how the term "three selves" emerged into the Christian community, that is something that a pariticular Christian community arrived at as a term and as a concept that they "emerged" into the Christian community. That is not a universal understanding derived from theology proper that I have ever heard of before. I am not an expert, I do not think I know all the answers, there is plenty I do not know, and plenty I will be happy and eager to learn from others here. I am a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

131 | Question on interpretation | 2 Tim 2:15 | bowler | 206971 | ||
tachminite It is still the same two rules being broken as the last three posts you made. For the answer about what defense Christians might have given to pagans in Rome, and for a clue about how the rules were broken, I did give you an answer. Please go back and read again. blessings abound, bowler |

132 | Question on interpretation | Gal 5:1 | bowler | 206970 | ||
tachminite The same two rules as your last two posts are being broken. Galatians is a letter outlining parts of Paul's theology and addressing erroneous beliefs about how to walk in faith, whether by law or by grace. The correct interpretation will give you the right application. blessings abound, bowler |

133 | question of interpretation | Acts 4:32 | bowler | 206969 | ||
tachminite Please go through the previous posts you made when you first came to see what others said to you in answer to part of this question. The same rules that were broken visa your very last post are the same ones being broken here and you need to do the same work to get the anwer. blessings abound, bowler |

134 | Question on Interpetation | Acts 4:34 | bowler | 206968 | ||
tachminite The rule of making a literal interpretation based on the intent of the author to his audience was ignored. The rule of determining what type of Biblical literature it was was violated. The intent of the author was to give a history of what happened during the birth of the church - it is not a treatise on theology, or a letter about Christian normatives for behavior and practice. The rules that were broken should be followed. The response to the interpretation is the application - hermeneutics. The interpretation drives what applications fit the interpretation. In your original post when you first came here you wanted to know what to do about getting in an interpretation for those who believe that living communaly is a Biblical interpretation of Acts 4:32-36. The answer is going to come from understanding what the church was realy doing, the circumstances, and why the author wrote about it. blessings abound, bowler |
||||||
135 | Hermeneutical question | 2 Cor 8:9 | bowler | 206967 | ||
tachminite I pray this will help you. Always pray asking for the Holy Spirit to illuminate the text. First get the interpretation of the passage according to what the author's intent was to his audience. Ask questions of the text based on the text. Answer the questions working to resolve any problem areas and to get more information about the interpretation of the text. Exegetics has some steps that answers a series of questions. I won't outline what the step are, but there are three basic questions that have to be answered. What does this mean? - the interpretation comes only from what the author meant to his audience or it is not a literal interpretation. Is this true and do I believe it? - how is this valid - depending on how you did the first question will determine if what you came up with is valid - does it line up with what the rest of the Bible teaches and would someone else understand what you mean, if it doesn't line up, and if they wouldn't understand it, then don't necessarily believe you have the right interpretation. What difference does this make? - how do I apply this - based on a valid interpretation of what the author meant to his audience what should be the application, and are there more than one. Hermeneutics basically answers the question - Why does this matter? 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. For every single passage in the Bible there is a valid application based on the interpretation. The Bible is always speaks to the church today. blessings abound, bowler |

136 | list of content questions | 2 Cor 9:1 | bowler | 206964 | ||
tachminite Searcher is making a realy important point there. Searcher also provided you with the questions to be asking that would also give you the answers for this post. In the question here you are again asking something different about the same subject. You first asked what the "problem" was, then you asked how to break down the paragraphs and apply them to the "argument". Now you are asking for a list of content questions for two whole passages that someone was unable to solve by the use of exegesis. That is a lot of exegesis and it is a lot of questions left over after doing the work to answer as many questions as arise from the text. That is as much work, although not as much, as your last question about these two passages. The intent of the author to his audience and the circumstances will answer most of the questions. But that work has to be done first before even getting one question to be asked of the text. After that you are left with the unanswered questions that appeared after answering everything that could have an answer. In the spirit of grace, I encourage you as you endeavor to study to be a minister, and will pray for you to suceed at what God has called you to do. In the love of Christ Jesus - Romans 15:20 And thus I aspired to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build on another man's foundation. 1 Corinthians 3:10-12 According to the grace of God which was given me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work. 2 Timothy 2:5 Also if anyone competes as an athelete, he does not win the prize unelss he competes according to the rules. Be careful how you build. blessings about, bowler |

137 | paragraph by paragraph analysis | 2 Cor 9:6 | bowler | 206960 | ||
tachminite In your first post on this same subject you asked about the overall problem in chapters 8 and 9. Now you have asked for something different about the same passages, a break down paragraph by paragraph and to provide how each paragraph relates to the "argument". I all fairness to others that would take up far too much space to do here. We sometimes inadvertantly tax the patience of others with long posts as questions or replies. I am not trying to represent others here, I am more so, trying to be thinking of others rather than jumping to answer a very good question. In all fairness to you, I would like to say that Bible study is not an easy thing to do, and having looked at your profile you are studying to be a minister, which is not ever easy. It might help if you took the"problem", as Paul is not making any theological "argument", nor is he having an "argument", and use that instead and try to apply each paragraph to the "problem". I outlined what the "problem" could be considered to be in the other question you had about this question. 2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved of God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. blessings abound, bowler |

138 | Question On Analysis of the problem | 2 Cor 9:15 | bowler | 206959 | ||
tachminite The word problem to some only means that there was a definite probelm that the audience had, or that the writer had with the audience. That is not all that the word "problem" means, however, when doing form criticism, or an advanced level Bible study. The word problem can refer to a problem that a church had internaly or with the writer. The word problem can mean differences between texts on the same subject. The word problem in form criticism can mean something else though, it can mean as little as a verse that needs clarification, or as much as reasons why the writer says something should be done in relation to the church not having done it yet, and there are many more things it means. In this last sense our regular understanding of the word problem does not apply. The word problem is being used to say that something needs to be understood more by the reader and not to say that the people involved necessarily had a "problem" with each other. This seems to be how you have used the word problem. I do not make great claims to know more than others, or you, or have "the" answers as opposed to others, including Searcher. Searcher made valid points there, very valid. In the sense that I have outlined it, there is a "problem" in chapters 8 and 9 of 2 Corinthians. The "problem" is that Corinth had made a commitment a year ago from when Paul was writing them to make their contribution to Jerusalem along with the other churches and had not finished doing it yet. - 2 Corinthians 10-12 The churches of Macedonia were poor churches and had finished getting together their contributions out of the "liberality" of their hearts. At this point in time the wealth of their contribution has exceeded their poverty and they wasted no time in readying the matter. The church at Corinth was doing better economicaly, and had promised a large gift. But, had not gotten their contribution ready and now it had been a year and it was time for the contribution to be already completed. Paul is writing to them to let them know that he is sending brethren to collect the money which they had already promised. 1 Corinthians 16:1-5 - Paul speaks of the collection for Jerusalem and tells Corinth to save some money at the first of each week for this same collection. We should be careful not to marry saving each week on the first day of the week, although it is a valid application to say that it means saving for every week's service, with Paul's original intent that Corinth save each week and put it away to have the collection for Jerusalem ready. Paul speaks in verse 5 of coming to Corinth after going to Macedonia. He was going to Macedonia to pick up the collection and was planning to proceed to Corinth to complete picking up collections. By the time we come to Romans 15:23-29 two years later Paul is still on his way to Jerusalem to bring the same collection he has been working on all along. The collection took a long time between the churches in Macedonia and Achaia, two Roman provinces in the north and south of Greece to be gotten ready, possibly because of waiting on Corinth. Paul makes a subtle plea in Romans 15:24 to be helped by them, he is most likely speaking of collecting money from the church at Rome to take to Spain. He makes an even subtler reference to this in Romans 1:13 as "obtaining fruit among you even as amongst the rest of the Gentiles" (perhaps the churches in Macedonia and Achaia). So this is talking about a different collection. But then he mentions the collection to Jerusalem and talks about being delayed because of it in coming to Rome. blessings abound, bowler |
