141 | Please explain the big words! | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 132283 | ||
Greetings Jo! Everyone can get lost with some of these big words! :-) Here is one web site that seemed fairly easy to understand: http://calvarychapel.com/redbarn/terms.htm Allow me to try and explain the two terms about which you inquired. Exegesis simply refers to interpretation that reads 'out' from the text. All of the facts and details come from the text itself. This is the best method. Conversely, there is another method - called 'eisegesis'. This method reads things 'into' the text that aren't there. This is a bad practice. Hemenutics is simply a big word for interpretation. It refers to any system of interpretation. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings! I concur with Hank's advice! But, I would like to comment on your representation of the relationship between the USA and the United Nations. I am not aware of any such agreement that makes the United Nations the RULING AUTHORITY over the United States. The American people would never agree to such an arrangement.

143 | Translation Methods | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 133833 | ||
Greetings DocTrinsofgrace! Here are my thoughts on this interesting question. 3) Paraphrases are of very little value. There is simply too much interpretation involved. 1) Formal Equivalence is a bit of a misnomer. There aren't really any 'word for word' translations. In fact, sometimes a 'word for word' translation could be misleading because of language differences. Actual translations change the word order and even 'add' words at times to help convey the original thought. Thus, every translation involves a degree of interpretation. 2) Dynamic Equivalence is actually closer to what most translation actually end up being. However, 'thought for thought' can be taken too far at times. If I had my choice, I would prefer something between 1 and 2. |

144 | is murdering wrong? | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 133835 | ||
Greetings Kp731a! This is really not a good place to get advice for personal problems my friend! However, your question concerns me. Scripture is quite clear that murder is wrong in every situation. If you are considering such an action, you need to seek out a friend, a local pastor, or a counselor for some help before you do something that you will regret. You are in our prayers!

145 | What is an acceptiable "Biblical questn? | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 134067 | ||
Greetings GloryBound! Good evening my friend! I think that questions can be asked about specific issues. For instance, one might ask about what the Bible says about abortion, or capital punisment, or taxes, or war. However, things that Scripture does not address would be inappropriate.

Greetings Perry5! My friend, why are you bothering to post on a Bible Study Forum if you do not believe in the Bible? Honest dialogue would be welcome my friend, but a series of pronouncements is not. Therefore, I will be reporting your posts as a violation of this forum's guidelines.

156 | How do i start a Bible Study | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 135591 | ||
Greetings Grottfather! I would recommend a book, published by Zondavan, called, "Leading Life Changing Small Groups". The author is named Bill Donahue. He directs the small groups ministry at Willow Creek. The topic of a group will depend in large part upon what kind of group you want to start. Are you planning an evangelist group to reach out to non-christians? Then, you will want to study topics that present Jesus to them. A series of studies out of John would be a good approach. Or, a series of studies on the claims of Christ. Are you planning on leading a group of Christians? If so, are you planning on it being mostly for fellowship and prayer or mostly for discipleship? If the former, then short studies on prayer or promises might be fruitful. If the latter, then you will want to address Bible knowledge and doctrine in more detail. If you are going to be working with young couples for instance, you might want to study issues like marriage, parenting, or finances. A group will usually start off small. Invite one or two individuals and then encourage them to bring someone else with them next time. Above all, seek God's guidance and empowerment! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

157 | Luke 10:18 part b. I beheld satan as | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 135945 | ||
Greetings Matronsgt13! I have posted many times on this issue lately. If would care to read all of them, use the search feature and search for my username 'Morant61' and the following key words 'no' 'god' 'besides' 'other'. But, here is my answer is a nut shell. Isaiah makes is clear, over and over again, there is no other god besides Jehovah. However, Isaiah also makes it clear that there are many things that are 'called' gods. They aren't really, but people worship them anyway. So, in Ex. 20:3, God is simply saying that we are not supposed to worship anyone or anything but Him. Jeremiah has a very funny, but sad passage, where he talks of someone cutting down a tree, using half of it to cook his food and the other half to fashion a god. The idol made was considered a god by the man who fashioned it, but it wasn't actually a god. It was just a chunk of wood. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

159 | I'll try to make my question more clear | Bible general Archive 2 | Morant61 | 137695 | ||
Greetings Carrie! It is not generally accepted that the Bible uses allegory. Allegories usually involve detailed stories where every single detail symbolizes something. Scripture certainly uses parables, but parables differ from allegories in that parables only teach one point. However, to answer your question, read: Matt. 13:10-17, Mark 4:10-12, and Luke 8:9-10. The Bible Knowledge Commentary says of the Matt. 13:10-17 passage: *********************************** The disciples immediately noticed a change in Jesus’ method of teaching. They came and asked Him directly why He was speaking in parables. The Lord gave three reasons. First, He was communicating through parables in order to continue to reveal truth to His disciples (Matt. 13:11-12a). The Lord said He was making known to them the secrets of the kingdom of heaven. The word “secrets” is translated “mysteries” in other Bible versions and in most of its other NIV occurrences. This term in the New Testament referred to truths not revealed in the Old Testament but which now were made known to those instructed. Why did Matthew frequently use the term “kingdom of heaven” whereas Mark, Luke, and John used only “kingdom of God” and never “kingdom of heaven”? Some scholars answer that “heaven” was a softened reference to God by Jews who, out of reverence, avoided saying the word “God.” However, Matthew did occasionally write “kingdom of God” (12:28; 19:24; 21:31, 43). And he used the word “God” almost 50 times. A distinction seems intended: The “kingdom of God” never includes unsaved people, but the “kingdom of heaven” includes both saved people and also others who profess to be Christians but are not. This is seen in the Parable of the Wheat and Weeds (see comments on 13:24-30, 36-43), the Parable of the Mustard Seed (see comments on vv. 31-35), and the Parable of the Net (see comments on vv. 47-52). Significantly Jesus did not speak of any “mysteries” concerning the kingdom of heaven until the nation had made its decision concerning Him. That decision was made by the leaders when they attributed His divine power to Satan (9:34; 12:22-37). Now Jesus unveiled certain additional facts not given in the Old Testament about His reign on earth. Many Old Testament prophets had predicted that the Messiah would deliver the nation Israel and establish His kingdom on the earth. Jesus came and offered the kingdom (4:17), but the nation rejected Him (12:24). In view of that rejection what would happen to God’s kingdom? The “secrets” of the kingdom now reveal that an entire Age would intervene between Israel’s rejection of the King and her later acceptance of Him. Second, Jesus spoke in parables to hide the truth from unbelievers. The secrets of the kingdom would be given to the disciples, but would be hidden from the religious leaders who rejected Him (13:11b, but not to them). In fact, even what they had previously known would no longer be clear to them (v. 12). Jesus’ parabolic instruction thus carried with it a judgmental aspect. By using parables in public, Jesus could preach to as many individuals as before, but He could then draw the disciples aside and explain to them fully the meaning of His words. Third, He spoke in parables in order to fulfill Isaiah 6:9-10. As Isaiah began his ministry, God told him that people would not comprehend his message. Jesus experienced the same kind of response. He preached the Word of God and many people saw but they did not truly perceive; they heard but did not . . . understand (Matt. 13:13-15). By contrast, the disciples were blessed because they were privileged to see (understand) and hear these truths (v. 16), truths that people in Old Testament times longed to know (v. 17; cf. 1 Peter 1:10-11). Jesus’ disciples heard the same truths as the national leaders, but their response was entirely different. The disciples saw and believed; the leaders saw and rejected. Since the leaders turned from the light they had been given, God gave them no additional light. *********************************** I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
