141 | "In beginning was word.." John 1:1 | John 1:1 | meusing | 44780 | ||
From the Translator's Notes : Today's English Version THE WORD OF LIFE 1. Before the world was created, the Word already existed; he was with God, and he was the same as God. 2. From the very begining the Word was with God. 3. Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him. 4. The Word was the source of life,(a) and this light brought light to mankind. 5. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out. (a) - What was made had life in union with the Word. Revised Standard Version - 1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2. He was in the beginning with God; 3. all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. 4. In him was life (a) and the life was the light of men. 5. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (a) Or was not anything made. That which has been made was life in him 1.1 Before the world was created, the Word already existed; he was with God, and he was the same as God. [Before the world was created,the Word already existed] represents the Greek "in the beginning was the Word." As the commentaies pointout, John obviously intents that his readers see a parallel between the opening words of his gospel and the opening words of Genesis. "In (the) beginning" refers to the period before creation (creation is not mentioned until verse 3), and so the TEV renders this phrase [before the world was created] (see New English Bible (NEB) "when all things began," NEB alternate rendering "the Word was at creation," and GeCL "In the beginning, before the world was created"). John wants his readers to understand that at whatever point creation began, THE WORD ALREADY EXISTED. In the number of languages it is diffucult to translate literally "in the beginning," since a word such as "beginning" requires some indication of what began. Some translators attempt to use the phrase "in the beginning of the world," but this phrase may not make sense, since in some languages only events begin, and not objects, such as the world. The problem is sometimes avoided by using another type of expresion, for example, "before there was anything" or "when things first came into existance." Other translators prefer to transform the passive expression "the world was created" into and active one, for example, "before God created the world." However, to do so introduces a minor complication, for later in the same passage creation is spoken of as being performed through the Word. Note, however, that in TEV the relation of the Word to creation is clearly indicated as secondary agentcy (verse 3). Some of these problems are overcome in certain laguages by an idiomatic expression which indetifies creation as "in the beginning of life" or "when there was as yet nothing." Such expressions, however, depend entirely on the idiomatic usage in the language into which the translation is made. Otherwise such a rendering can be misleading. ..... |

144 | Galatians and Matthew | Galatians | meusing | 44769 | ||
I am not sure what your question is about ancestor worship, as we worship a living God. But circumcision was instituted by God as a sign of His covenant with Abraham. In Galations and Romans, Paul shows that now,Gal 5:6 For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. |

145 | Cain and Seth's wives descended from who | Genesis | meusing | 44754 | ||
This has been answered many times. Cain and Seth's wives were decended from Adam and Eve. John Gill said ... Who this woman was is not certain, nor whether it was his first wife or not; whether his sister, or one that descended from Adam by another of his sons, since this was about the one hundred and thirtieth year of the creation. At first indeed Cain could marry no other than his sister; but whether he married Abel's twin sister, or his own twin sister, is disputed; the Jews say , that Cain's twin sister was not a beautiful woman, and therefore he said, I will kill my brother and take his wife: on the other hand, the Arabic writers say , that Adam would have had Cain married Abel's twin sister, whom they call Awin; and Abel have married Cain's twin sister, whom they call Azron; but Cain would not, because his own sister was the handsomest; and this they take to be the occasion of the quarrel, which issued in the murder of Abel. Calvin said ... And Cain knew his wife . From the context we may gather that Cain, before he slew his brother, had married a wife; otherwise Moses would now have related something respecting his marriage; because it would be a fact worthy to be recorded, that any one of his sisters could be found, who would not shrink with horror from committing herself into the hand of one whom she knew to be defiled with a brother's blood; and while a free choice was still given her, should rather choose spontaneously to follow an exile and a fugitive, than to remain in her father's family. Moreover, he relates it as a prodigy that Cain, having shaken off the terror he had mentioned, should have thought of having children: F248 for it is remarkable, that he who imagined himself to have as many enemies as there were men in the world, did not rather hide himself in some remote solitude. It is also contrary to nature, that he being astounded with fear; and feeling that God was opposed to him, could enjoy any pleasure. Indeed, it seems to me doubtful, whether he had previously had any children; for there would be nothing absurd in saying, that reference is here made especially to those who were born after the crime was committed, as to a detestable seed who would fully participate in the sanguinary disposition, and the savage manners of their father. This, however, is without controversy, that many persons, as well males as females, are omitted in this narrative; it being the design of Moses only to follow one line of his progeny, until he should come to Lamech. The house of Cain, therefore, was more populous than Moses states; but because of the memorable history of Lamech, which he is about to subjoin, he only adverts to one line of descendents, and passes over the rest in silence. |

146 | Atonement of Jesus Christ Deu.12:16-23 | Rom 3:25 | meusing | 44695 | ||
Rom 3:23 Since all have sinned and are falling short of the honor and glory which God bestows and receives. Rom 3:24 [All] are justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely and gratuitously by His grace (His unmerited favor and mercy), through the redemption which is [provided] in Christ Jesus, Rom 3:25 Whom God put forward [before the eyes of all] as a mercy seat and propitiation by His blood [the cleansing and life-giving sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation, to be received] through faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in His divine forbearance He had passed over and ignored former sins without punishment. Rom 3:26 It was to demonstrate and prove at the present time (in the now season) that He Himself is righteous and that He justifies and accepts as righteous him who has [true] faith in Jesus. |

148 | Ezekiel 37 - The Valley of The Bones? | Ezek 37:1 | meusing | 44658 | ||
Jesus IS king of the Kingdom of God to all who are citezens of the kingdom. "King of my life, I crown thee now..." Concerning the remnant ... Is 10:20 And it shall be in that day that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more lean upon him who smote them, but will lean upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. Is 10:21 A remnant will return [Shear-jashub, name of Isaiah's son], a remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God. Is 10:22 For though your population, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of it will return [and survive]. The [fully completed] destruction is decreed (decided upon and brought to an issue); it overflows with justice and righteousness [the infliction of just punishment]. [Rom. 9:27, 28.] Is 10:23 For the Lord, the Lord of hosts, will make a full end, whatever is determined or decreed [in Israel], in the midst of all the earth. |

150 | Who are the "sons of God?" | OT general | meusing | 44626 | ||
The 'sons of God' in Genesis 6 refers to the decendents of Seth who were called by and on the Name of the LORD Gen. 4:26. As for the mention of 'sons of god'in Job, he also mentions them in Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy? I think that relates to what John saw in Rev 5:11 Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels on every side of the throne and of the living creatures and the elders [of the heavenly Sanhedrin], and they numbered ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands, [Dan. 7:10.] |

151 | our sacrifice and our faith | Rom 12:1 | meusing | 44617 | ||
Angel, I read NASB, the Amplified, etc. C. H. Mackintosh was born in 1820 and died in 1896. He was a great man of prayer and faith. One of his works, Notes on the Penteteuch is what I quoted from, as I saw a connection about what he was saying about Abraham sacrificing Isaac in obediance to God and Rom 12:1 in our being a living sacrifice ourself and our Isaacs (that which we hold close to ourself) in obediance to God. I do not think the 'New Age' ever talks about obediance to the word of God in the power of the Holy Spirit. Nor, faith in God that never looks at the circumstances or on results but focuses only on God. |

When Jacob returned to the land of Canaan from Paddan-aram he wrestled with the Angel of God who changed his name to Israel Gen. 32:28. Later, at Bethel ... Gen 35:9 And God [in a distinctly visible manifestation] appeared to Jacob again when he came out of Padan-aram, and declared a blessing on him. [Gen. 32:28.] Gen 35:10 Again God said to him, Your name is Jacob [supplanter]; you shall not be called Jacob any longer, but Israel shall be your name. So He called him Israel [contender with God]. Gen 35:11 And God said to him, I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall come from you and kings shall be born of your stock; Gen 35:12 The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and to your descendants after you I will give the land. Which is a confermation of the covenant that God gave Abraham in Chapter 17, and to his father Isaac in chapter 26:24. |

Deut 32:47 For it is not an empty and worthless trifle for you; it is your [very] life. By it you shall live long in the land which you are going over the Jordan to possess. |

156 | God forgive no matter what | 2 Cor 5:8 | meusing | 44363 | ||
The purpose of Jesus is to save us from sin. 1. from the penalty of sin. 2. from the power of sin. 3. and finally from the presence of sin. The Holy Sprit witnesses to us and brings us to repentance which is turning from sin to God, not just sorrow for sin. Paul asked this question in Romans 6 and 7. Rom 6:1 WHAT SHALL we say [to all this]? Are we to remain in sin in order that God's grace (favor and mercy) may multiply and overflow? Rom 6:2 Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer? Rom 6:3 Are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Rom 6:4 We were buried therefore with Him by the baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious [power] of the Father, so we too might [habitually] live and behave in newness of life. Rom 6:5 For if we have become one with Him by sharing a death like His, we shall also be [one with Him in sharing] His resurrection [by a new life lived for God]. Rom 6:15 What then [are we to conclude]? Shall we sin because we live not under Law but under God's favor and mercy? Certainly not! Rom 6:16 Do you not know that if you continually surrender yourselves to anyone to do his will, you are the slaves of him whom you obey, whether that be to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience which leads to righteousness (right doing and right standing with God)? Rom 6:17 But thank God, though you were once slaves of sin, you have become obedient with all your heart to the standard of teaching in which you were instructed and to which you were committed. Rom 6:18 And having been set free from sin, you have become the servants of righteousness (of conformity to the divine will in thought, purpose, and action). The Holy Spirit dwells within the Christian as a principle within who watches for sin and testifies to us of what that sin cost Jesus. This is the loving fear of God ... wanting to please Him and being afraid to displease Him, not because of punishment but because of love. |

158 | When did God make a cov. wth the Haida? | Ex 31:14 | meusing | 44300 | ||
so, why should the haida indians celebrate passover and the feast of tabernacles as well as the other feasts? The Bible says the old covenent was made with The children of israel. Jesus made a new covenant in His blood which is for all people. this covenant is a covenant of grace. These are His terms. Rom 1:5 It is through Him that we have received grace (God's unmerited favor) and [our] apostleship to promote obedience to the faith and make disciples for His name's sake among all the nations, Rom 1:6 And this includes you, called of Jesus Christ and invited [as you are] to belong to Him. Rom 1:17 For in the Gospel a righteousness which God ascribes is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed through the way of faith that arouses to more faith]. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith. [Hab. 2:4.] so, shall we live by works or by faith? |

1. What are you talking about? Jehovah is mentioned throughout the Bible. 2. Jesus was crucified on a cross, the Roman instrument of execution. He bore our sins on the cross. of course, as Paul said : 1 Cor 1:18 For the story and message of the cross is sheer absurdity and folly to those who are perishing and on their way to perdition, but to us who are being saved it is the [manifestation of] the power of God. |
