1241 | Allegorical interpretation | John 4:16 | srbaegon | 20206 | ||
Casiv, The problem with allegorical interpretation is that we can look at the same passage, come to opposite conclusions, and both say we are correct. And it's possible neither of us is correct. In a different thread you brought up the Samaritan women that Jesus met at the well near Sychar. I could say that this was prophecy and, Jesus was talking about a future football player who would hook up with several teams but never make it to the Super Bowl. Obviously, this is ridiculous, but since I am interpreting allegorically, I can say whatever I want. Now what if I state something that sounds more spiritual like: John 4:7 There *came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus *said to her, "Give Me a drink." Gen 7:12 The rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. Matt 2:17-18 Then what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: "A VOICE WAS HEARD IN RAMAH, WEEPING AND GREAT MOURNING, RACHEL WEEPING FOR HER CHILDREN; AND SHE REFUSED TO BE COMFORTED, BECAUSE THEY WERE NO MORE." What do these passages have to do with each other? I could say that Jesus was telling the woman about impending judegement which will cause wialing amongst the people. That is more spiritual sounding, but it's just as ridiculous as the idea of prophecy concerning football. There is no correlation between the woman of Sychar, Noah's flood, and Rachel weeping for her children. I made it up. I beg of you to stop searching for what is not there. There is more spiritual fruit in understanding the obvious than in trying to make obscure connections. You might ask, "Why then is it permissible to look at pictures and types of Christ in the Old Testament?" It's because the relationship can be easily identified by comparing the plain interpretation of the OT with the plain interpretation of the NT. If you are attempting to teach us, then give answers and explanations, not riddles. Steve |

The study of how Christ is shown in the Old Testament is a wonderful study. I'll start a new thread for it. As for stigma--I did some searching on the internet for help. I found something you might be interested in at http://www.trf.org.au/default.asp Just go down the center of the page until you find the box labeled Bible Numerics. I don't know about the rest of the website, so take care with what you find. It indicates the stigma was never changed, just dropped back in 6 BC as a letter. I'm still looking. Steve |

1243 | Genesis Creation, a practical example? | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 19997 | ||
Correction.................. I take it as a literal explanation of creation, so I do not see any contradictions. I think you have me confused with another "Steve". Steve |

1244 | Genesis Creation, a practical example? | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 19975 | ||
I very much agree with Ed's comments, and not just because they agree with what I was taught when studying hermeneutics. I think part of the problem stems from our literary genres being broken up into distinct areas, while the "storytelling" communication of earlier cultures commonly had these genres intermixed.

1245 | Earth was without form, and void. | Gen 1:1 | srbaegon | 19956 | ||
I respect and prize Mr. Scofield's work but must disagree with him in this regard. Ez 28:12-15 seems to indicate that Satan was still in his perfection after creation was completed (see esp. verse 13). Steve |

Good morning. The material I was referring to was the biblical numerics that you mentioned. I think the information you have shared concerning the numbers is correct, but I wish to caution you in the way they are used. For instance, when reading books on how the Old Testament tabernacle and priesthood were pictures of Christ and His work, I would share with others what I found and tell them this was the truth. When they asked for clarification, I couldn't do it, because I did not yet understand the reasoning behind the pictures or types. You presented many numbers as fact without giving explanation, so people questioned if you knew what you were talking about. Both of our situations made us appear foolish. (I'm not saying you don't understand the numbers, just that you didn't explain them.) I do understand the parable of the sower. I just don't understand how you can dogmatically state that stigma was changed from the shape of a cross to something else. Steve |

1247 | Adam, Eve, plants, animals - what order? | Genesis | srbaegon | 19866 | ||
Steve, My general principle is to resolve these issues as best as possible within the text itself. Sometimes it impossible, like in Gen 3 when God tells Eve, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth." Wait a minute! How would she have a reference to compare to? Did she have children before the fall? As for the timing of the last day, I reconcile it this way. God made Adam; God brought one of each beast of the field and bird of the air to be named (Notice it's not one of each animal. There are only two subgroups mentioned.); God made Eve. I think that could work within a 24-hour period. Steve |

1248 | Does it take away sins or not? | Lev 16:34 | srbaegon | 19857 | ||
You're right, it wasn't plainly stated in the articles. The intent of the author was to demonstrate that the proper view of these issues is a middle ground. I know this because I've met his son (J. Boyd Nicholson, Jr) who pretty much follows the same path. Steve |

Actually, I've seen a 3rd option in print as editorials in Uplook magazine. Here are the URLs. http://www.gospelcom.net/uplook/magazine_uplook/viewarticle.phtml?id[equals]103 http://www.gospelcom.net/uplook/magazine_uplook/viewarticle.phtml?id[equals]118 Where you see [equals], put the equals sign (no spaces).

I know of the Companion Bible but have never seen one. Does Bullinger's notes and appendices reflect some of the same material you have shared here? Now that I better understand what you are saying, we have agreement on several things. I still cannot agree with your contention that the stigma in 666 is the cross. In both my Newberry reference Bible and my copy of the Textus Receptus, the final character is shaped like a final sigma (upside-down 5 or "s" with a large head). I think Strong's intent of referencing 4742 was to demontrate the that there were different "stigmas" or marks--the cross being an example of one. It's not the only example. In the English language we have had the same type of thing. We "make a mark" as a signature if we don't know how to write. We "make a mark" to cut a straight line in a piece of timber. We "make a mark" to identify something as our own. Steve |

I am quite well, thank you. Thank you for quoting the verse I had in mind when I asked the question. As for alternation and introversion, I looked up the words. To restate this now, I believe you to be saying that Scripture is internally consistent, because we see many writers giving the same basic message. Am I correct again? Or was there something I may have missed? Steve |
||||||
1252 | Only seal and horse in same verse Rev6:5 | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 19642 | ||
So, you are saying that what was written by the different Scripture writers are God's words and not the words of the writer. Am I correct? Steve |

1253 | Ezekiel 36:26 | John 3:5 | srbaegon | 19612 | ||
I did not forget verse 28. Had the nation of Israel accepted what the Lord was bringing this would have been fulfilled completely. As it is there is a partial fulfillment with the completion yet future. Steve |

1254 | Bible and evolution both? | Gen 1:1 | srbaegon | 19542 | ||
Hello Steve and welcome, As you may have discovered, we who take a literal approach to Genesis 1 and 2 can be rabid. Earnestly contending for the faith, you understand. I hope we have applied more light than heat to this topic. BTW, someone must have known you have would turn out to be a wonderful person to give you such a great first name. :-) Steve |

Itroverb and introbrae are not on the web nor in the dictionary. It seems you are the only person with this knowledge. The reason most people don't unterstand the Bible is because it is spiritually appraised (1 Cor 2:14). It has nothing to do with numerics. Steve |

You need to get your facts straight. Textus Receptus was completed by Erasmus in the early 1500's. Mr. Nestle was not born until 1851. They are not connected. Textus Receptus is not the oldest copy of New Testament. There are manuscripts 1000 years older. There is no consiracy to cover up the use of stigma. That was for numeric use while uncials were common. It was dropped later because it was too close to the lower-case final sigma. Someone has already mentioned this or provided a web site that mentions it. Strong's concordance is excellent, but it's not the only excellent lexical aid available. Lastly, if the explanation takes so much effort, it probably is not correct. Seek the plain sense. Steve |

1257 | Foundation Stones? What are they? | Eph 4:1 | srbaegon | 19410 | ||
1 Kings 5:17; 17:9-10 describe the foundation stones of Solomon's temple. Isaiah 28:16 is prophecy concerning Messiah, the Lord Jesus 1 Corinthians 3:12 teaches we must have Jesus Christ as foundation of our lives. Ephesians 2:20 teaches Christ is the cornerstone of the church Revelation 21:14, 19 describe the foundation stones of the New Jerusalem Steve |

Amen. In His earthly ministry the Lord Jesus Christ called all to a life of discipleship and obedience, not intellectualism (John 6, et al). And obedience is the key to increasing our faith (Luke 17:5-10). It's wonderful when brothers in Christ agree? :-) Steve |

1259 | Why keep the Moral Law? | James 2:10 | srbaegon | 19407 | ||
If you have followed this now lengthy thread, you will see my stance is that there is no requirement to keep them, which is the basis for Galatians. Steve |

What a wonderful question. I hope Bill responds. There are multiple compelling reasons to obey God. 1. Because He wants us to -- 1 Pet 1:14 2. Because it's normal -- Phil 2:12-13 3. Others glorify God because we do -- 2 Cor 9:13 4. Because Christ is our example -- Phil 2:5-11 5. Because of shame if we do not -- 2 Thess 3:14 How's that for starters? Steve |
