Michael -- Please do NOT follow with any more of this. It is divisive and argumentative, and you are being less than gracious to Tim, a highly respected and long time user of SBF. Review the guideliness and proceed accordingly. --Hank | ||||||
162 | Pride is a spiritual cancer | 1 Sam 2:3 | Hank | 197693 | ||
Good quotation, John, as most things by C. S. Lewis are. I think the most vain people I've ever known are those who try to put on an air of humility. One of my humorous friends once said to me in a joking way, "I'm humble and proud of it." ..... I've also been blessed to know a few genuinely humble persons, and I don't know a one of them who is aware that he's humble, and certainly none of them go about bragging about their humility. --Hank | ||||||
163 | KJV only believers. | 2 Tim 3:16 | Hank | 197629 | ||
Thanks for the warm greeting, Justme. I'll pass it along to "Mrs. Hank," whose name is Dorothy but nearly everyone calls her Dottie except me. I call her Dortie, because when we were dating her little three-year old nephew called her "Aunt Dortie," being the best he could pronounce Dorothy. It stuck and she's been my beloved Dortie for over 48 years. ..... We got no snow in, around or near our place in the Ozark foothills. ...... I enjoy being politically incorrect so much that I'll say it again, MERRY CHRISTMAS. | ||||||

Dear Carol Nemitz :: The views you expressed in your post 196987 are interesting but appear to be flirting with ideas that are not supported by Scripture. Your reference to "plugging in" is reminiscent of something that Luther Burbank would have done to a potato, but I can't recall having read anything in the Bible that would lead me to the conclusion you've reached. On what do you therefore base it? ...... Welcome to Study Bible Forum, but please do keep in mind that the Forum's singular emphasis is on Scripture, thus leaving virtually no room for recondite and speculative excursions. --Hank | ||||||

kvrock: Extract from your post 196791: "When I filled out my registration, I typed in my birth date. They put Taurus in there." ..... To whom, pray tell us, does "they" refer: who "put Taurus in there"? Sir, we are not prepared to believe, not for an instant, that the Lockman Foundation has suddenly begun to supplement Bible study with astrology. Will you please explain, if you can, this enigma to us at Study Bible Forum? --Hank | ||||||

167 | Pitt Minion format? | Bible general Archive 4 | Hank | 196047 | ||
Greetings to TC from Coventry :: Thank you for the helpful hints about the the Cambridge University Press series of Pitt Minion Bibles. I'd read something of the history of this series before, but the details had escaped me, although I remembered that the font size was rather small, too small for a septuagenarian like me to read with comfort. Does your user name reflect your location: are you a resident of Coventry, UK? --HH from Arkansas, USA. | ||||||

169 | Signs and Wonders? | Matt 6:33 | Hank | 195934 | ||
Dear Cuddle :: Not much I can add to the fine responses from Doc and Brad except to say that they have dispensed sage advice on IHOP. You mentioned that you've relocated and I'd encourage you to check out IHOP in your new locale to your heart's content, but to make sure it's the pancake house and not the house that serves up signs and wonders, replete with hands that ooze oil and jewels that fall out of space. It causes one to wonder whether this is a house of prayer or a house of horrors! Surely, Cuddle, there is an orthodox company of believers in your new area. I pray that you will diligently seek it. --Hank | ||||||
170 | why did god create the universe? | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 195912 | ||
This is an engaging topic and I wonder ... would it help us to define "God's glory?" Indeed can we define it in the "baby talk" terms of which Calvin spoke, the terms that we poor mortals can comprehend? --Hank | ||||||
171 | are there errors in the bible? | Bible general Archive 4 | Hank | 195558 | ||
Preston :: By any measure it seems to me that Tyndale, for all that that devoted man did in his life, earns an immensely more honored place in the history books that merely to fill space. I would think it most presumptuous and crass of me should I, a virtual nobody, dare be so brash as to pass such harsh judgment upon so noble a scholarly saint as William Tyndale. Besides, critics don't usually fare very well, for in all the annals of history one is hard pressed to find any record of a statue having been erected in honor of a critic. --Hank | ||||||
172 | will all christians go to heaven | Eph 4:16 | Hank | 195203 | ||
Dear Michael :: Reports of NDE's have been commonplace since I was a pup! But that doesn't make them any more valid than reported sightings of UFO's or the Loch Ness monster, or claims of private divine revelation or the seed-faith charlatans. ..... Speaking to your question, Michael, we who believe in the absolute sovereignty of God (as Scripture teaches) hold that He is sovereign indeed of all His creation and can do as He pleases, but that He is also a holy and righteous God and does not go against His word. "And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber (2 Peter 1:19-2:3). ..... Those are strong words, tough words, solemn words of warning from the apostle writing under inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Man can ignore them, scoff at them, twist them and refuse to believe them; but he does so at his peril. Thanks for the response, Michael, and for your keen interest in this vital topic. --Hank | ||||||
173 | is masterbation a sin | Rom 12:1 | Hank | 194897 | ||
pberardi :: In the immediate context of Matthew 5:30 Jesus is speaking of adultery, not masturbation. Inasmuch as Scripture is silent on masturbation -- neither the word itself nor description of the act is found in Holy Writ -- it is quite a leap into eisegetic interpretation to read into Matthew 5:30 that Jesus was speaking of masturbation. The aim of this post is not to endorse masturbation, but to point out that your "proof text" in this instance falls short of proof. --Hank | ||||||
174 | tythe or free will offering? | Bible general Archive 4 | Hank | 194896 | ||
pberardi :: Reference please. Exactly where and in what context does the New Testament speak of tithing, and where does it link tithing with being a joyful giver? --Hank | ||||||
175 | spiritual or religious? | Bible general Archive 4 | Hank | 194895 | ||
pberardi :: "Religion is a man-made thing while spirituality is of the Father." .......Col. 3.23 speaks of "self-made religion" and James 1:27 of "pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God." The Greek words that support the translation "religious" in both verses are quite different. In the former, the translaltion of "self-made religion" (NASB) does not carry the same meaning at all as "pure and undefiled religion" in the latter. Therefore, it cannot be argued that the word "religion"as Scripture uses it always has the negative connotation of being a "man-made thing." As there can be a true doctrine and a false doctrine, so can there be a true religion and a false religion. Orthodox Christianity is true religion, whereas pagan religions are false. When John Calvin chose to call his opus magnum, "The Institutes of the Christian Religion," one should not think that this great Reformer in any way intended to intimate that the Christian religion is a "man-made thing." I'm not sure exactly what you meant when you used the word "spirituality," according it a nobler place than the word "religion," but I am convinced that Scripture does not always use the word "religion" in a disparaging sense at all and neither should we. It all depends on the context. --Hank | ||||||

Val :: Kind words well written. Thanks for your participation on SBF, Val. Your presence is keenly felt. You are an asset and a blessing to this Forum. Down here in the Ozarks where I live, most of us don't have one of them there fancy red carpets to welcome folks with. But we say to our favorite folks what I will now say to you: Howdy, neighbor, it's mighty fine to have you with us. Won't you come in and sit a spell with us, and have a cool drink of spring water?" Now you have been officially welcomed the Ozark way. Nice, ain't it? :-) Blessings, sister. --Hank | ||||||

miller521 :: If you would read post 194456 again, and this time pay attention to what it said, you will find that I didn't advance any theories, offer any opinions, promulgate any denominational biases or anything else of the sort. All I did in that post -- my single aim -- was to refer you to a passage of Scripture that is germane to the topic under discussion. So how on this green earth can you come back to me and ask me whether I am saying thus and so? Read the Scripture, miller, read the Scripture! And for goodness sake, stop interpolating in your responses what your correspondents did not say in theirs! And you would be smart to read Hebrews 1 again, again and again, paying attention to what it says and forgetting about what it does not say. This will be all you will hear from me on this thread. We are not here to argue trifles but to study Scripture. --Hank | ||||||
178 | does God intend for us to pay tithes | Malachi | Hank | 194603 | ||
Hi, Tim :: "It is easier to get people to give if they feel they must." ..... That's how the seed-faith guys operate and it must work. They seem to be doing O.K. -- bringing in the bucks anddriving Mercedes cars and living in fancy houses. I heard one of them tell his TV audience not long ago to send him their seed-faith money "right now, this very minute" -- and if they were a little short on cash, just put it on their credit cards. Unbelievable! --Hank | ||||||

Hello, Michael :: Your note intended for starfire was directed to me. So that starfire will be alerted to your response, it will be necessary to attach your follow-up note to one of her posts. Anyway, good to hear from you. The Thompson Chain is an old stand-by and still one of the best for topical studies. I still use mine on occasion but have discovered that the older I get the more the type font size shrinks! But then I'm nearly twice your age. ......I note that you live in southern Georgia. Years ago I used to do some insurance consulting work in Georgia, chiefly in the Atlanta and Albany areas. I love your state, especially the southern part. I found the southern Georgia accent very charming. --Hank | ||||||
