I think Kalos gave a good answer, I'll just add this: Gen 3:6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food (the lust of the flesh), and that it was a delight to the eyes (the lust of the eyes), and that the tree was desirable to make one wise (the pride of life), she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.

Hi Chowing63, There are many differing opinions on the value of different manuscripts, and manuscript families. http://www.cob-net.org/compare.htm This web site (while expressing it's own opinion) has a great deal of information to familiarize you with the world of manuscript comparison. I would encourage you to search for additional information as well to get a balanced view of other people's opinions. Most importantly, pray about this. The Holy Spirit wrote the Bible, and He is the One Who speaks through it. He will let you know the truth about His Word. Ps 119:89-90 "Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness endures to all generations;" God will bring His Word to each of us, no matter how many hands of scribes, translators, committees, or whatever other hands His Word has passed through. Seek, and you shall find! Love in Christ, Mark |

1905 | LITV | Bible general Archive 2 | mark d seyler | 137764 | ||
Hi Maroon, I have been using the LITV Jay P. Green translation for a few years now, and I think it is an extremely valuable translation. I wish that every Bible tranlator could make the same statements of faith, belief, and reverance that he makes in the forward to the NT. He does believe that the Received Text is the proper text to translate from, and many people disagree with that view, and fault him for it. As for myself, I think that there is some very strong evidence in favor of that view, however, I know that the Word of God is not just ink on paper, but the Holy Spirit speaking to us. (Psalm 119:89-90) To the comments posted saying those who "Love the LITV seem to Hate the modern translations. . ." I for one regularly use for my personal study the LITV (Green), Youngs Literal Translation, NASB, King James, New King James, Amplified, Berry's Interlinear, and occasionally a couple of other interlinears, and a dozen of so various translations including the Geneve, Darby's, Weymouth, Beck, and others. not nec. in that order :) I think the LITV would make a great gift, and I encourage all of us who give Christmas gifts to seek to spread the gospel through them. God bless you and yours! Love in Christ, Mark |

Addition to note below: I didn't get the full quote I intended :( I intended to referrence the following:Ac 15:6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. 7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. 12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them. 13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: 14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. 15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, 16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: 17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. 18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. 19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: 20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. 21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day. 22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:" again, an example of where Peter was not considered the head of the church, or authoritarian. The decision was made by council, not "what does Peter say". In fact, it was James who offered the suggestion that was then chosen, and specifically deciding morality. Not Peter. |

Hi Al, the verse you reference Matt. 16:19, with consideration towards the verb tenses, would be more literally translated "whatever you bind (aorist)on earth shall be 'having been bound' (perfect) in heaven", in this Jesus tells Peter he would be in accordance with what has been predetermined in heaven. There is no statement made that this is transferable. Additionally, in Acts 11:2 "And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him," it does not seem that Peter's contemporaries saw Peter as authoritive. Ac 15:22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren" again, an example of where Peter was not considered the head of the church, or authoritarian. The decision was made by council, not "what does Peter say". In fact, it was James who offered the suggestion that was then chosen, and specifically deciding morality. Not Peter. The letter they sent was from "the apostles and elders and brethren", not "Peter says. . ." Rather referrence Isaiah 22:22 to Rev. Re 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;" Jesus is the One Who has the key of David. Not Peter. There is more but this is enough. I let the Bible tell me what it says, and I do not add to it the doctrines of man. Love in Christ, Mark |

Can you show what those traditions that Paul is referring to are? You can say that you have oral traditions that add to the Bible, and that you have every right to do this because Paul did it, but unless I know that your traditions are exactly the same as Paul's, then the fact that Paul stated these things has absolutely no bearing or relevance to those traditions being taught now. Your claim as I understand it is that those teaching the oral traditions have the same authority as the early church apostles. I can only judge that by their agreement to the scriptures. Love in Christ, Mark |

Hi Mike, One thing I have learned to do is, before clicking preview, to select everything I have written, right-click for my computer's editor, and click copy. This stores my post on my clipboard, so that if I have to go back because I used an ampersand or some such, not all is lost, i can just paste it back in. I have lost several posts that way, I believe they were my most eloquent and persuasive ones. ;) Love in Chirst, Mark |

1911 | why mourn his daughter 4 days a year? | Judg 11:31 | mark d seyler | 136893 | ||
Lev 27:2 "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When a man makes a difficult vow, he shall be valued according to your valuation of persons belonging to the LORD. Lev 27:4 'Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels. Lev 27:5 'If it be from five years even to twenty years old then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels and for the female ten shekels. Could it be that after Jephthah's daughter returned from the mountains, and they went to the priests to fulfill this vow, that they had the the best suprise ever, finding out that she could be redeemed? Just a thought. . . Love in Christ, Mark |

1913 | Isaiah 45:7 | Is 45:7 | mark d seyler | 136676 | ||
Hi Angel, I am not saying that Judas is the antichrist. What I meant was that there where two persons being prophesied about, both of whom, "coincidentally", would be later described as "son of perdition". Regarding the context of the chapter, prophetic writings are well known to have both near and far fulfillments, and while Zechariah wrote for the people of his time, he also prophesied about event yet to come. But again, I just want to clarify that I was not meaning to say that Judas was the antichrist. Love in Christ, Mark |

1914 | "Two witnesses." When? Who? | Rev 11:3 | mark d seyler | 136675 | ||
Hi mommapbs, It was considering the pre-wrath rapture that led me to re-look at these things. I realized that the rapture was more directly tied to wrath than to the 70th week. The question I ask is, “when does wrath come?” God does not wait until after the abomination of desolation. Since the Two Witnesses prophesy 3.5 years until overcome by the beast from the abyss (Rev 11), and the beast from the abyss overcomes the saints for 3.5 years until his power is taken away when God sets up His kingdom (Dan 7), the two witnesses prophecy for the first three and one half years of the 7 year tribulation. If that is true, then the seals are opened, and the first 6 trumpets sounded by the time the witnesses arise from death, 3.5 days after the middle of the tribulation (Rev 11). Since the 5th trumpet begins a plague that last 5 months, then these plagues must have started before the abomination of desolation. When I compare the events of the sixth seal and the first trumpet, this seems to be describing the same events prophesied in Ezekiel 38, which begins a 7 year time during which God performs a work in Israel, the beginning of which is also referred to as the day that God’s wrath comes up in His face. Like CDBJ pointed out, the same day sudden destruction comes is the same day the church is raptured. Isaiah 2 and 13, Ez 38, Rev 6, all speak of this day that is coming. Rev. and Ez let us know that it is at the beginning of the seventieth week, not the middle or end. Roman 11 adds to this, in that “hardness in part has come upon Israel until the fullness of the gentiles is come in” – the completion of the gentile bride before resuming the focus on Israel. The letters in Revelation show the close of the church in the Laodicean letter, before the unfolding of the seals, trumpets, and bowls. These are some of the reasons I have come to pre-trib. This is not comprehensive by any means. God bless you! Love in Christ, Mark |

1915 | "Two witnesses." When? Who? | Rev 11:3 | mark d seyler | 136564 | ||
2Th 2:1 And we ask you, brethren, in regard to the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together unto him, 2 that ye be not quickly shaken in mind, nor be troubled, neither through spirit, neither through word, neither through letters as through us, as that the day of Christ hath arrived; 3 let not any one deceive you in any manner, because--if the falling away may not come first, and the man of sin be revealed--the son of the destruction, 4 who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called God or worshipped, so that he in the sanctuary of God as God hath sat down, shewing himself off that he is God--the day doth not come. 5 Do ye not remember that, being yet with you, these things I said to you? Paul is talking about two things here, our gathering together unto Jesus, and the Day of Christ, otherwise known as the “Day of the Lord”. The Thessolonians were being told that the Day of the Lord, i.e. of judgement, had come, and that they had missed the rapture. Paul desires that they not be shaken, nor troubled, as if that day had already come – what day? The Day of the Lord. That day won’t come unless the falling away and revealing of the man of sin come first. Isaiah 13:9 Lo, the day of Jehovah doth come, Fierce, with wrath, and heat of anger, To make the land become a desolation, Yea, its sinning ones He destroyeth from it. The Day of the Lord is the time of wrath from which we are told over and over that we have been rescued. The Lord can return at any moment. Jesus, Paul, Peter, all teach expectancy. Expectancy goes right out the window if my escatology puts the revealing of the antichrist before the rapture. This is so much scripture pointing us towards the teaching of being removed before the Day of the Lord comes, as a sudden destruction, at the beginning of the seventieth week, it will not fit a posting on this site, and I invite any interested to e-mail me, and I would like to share the results of my just completed study on this subject. I truly wish to know only the truth as God gives it. After exchanging with some of you a few weeks ago, I undertook to again determine what the Bible says on this topic, and I am convinced more than ever that the pre-trib view is the correct one. Ialso happen to think we may well be persecuted before that comes, and I pray for the strength of the church. Love in Christ, Mark |

1916 | Isaiah 45:7 | Is 45:7 | mark d seyler | 136537 | ||
Hi Angel, An interesting thing about the context in Zech. 11 is that the prophecy of the "idol shepherd" that the Lord "is going to" raise up follows a prophecy of Judas who betrayed Jesus. The two charactures in the Bible called the Son of Perdition are Judas Iscariot and the "antichrist". Romans 13:1 tells us that there is no power, speaking of earthly authorities, but of God. Eph. 1:11 tells us that God works all things according to the counsel of His own will. Does not God set up rulers according to His own timetable, raising up one, putting another down? Will not the antichrist fullfill God's purpose towards the salvation of Isreal? No creature will usurp God's throne, but there is one who will attempt to make those who dwell on the earth to worship him. But he will only do this in the time, and place, and manner which God has chosen. In calling this person the "idol shepherd", we are speaking of one who will be both false god and shepherd, which would again seem to be the "antichrist". Love in Christ, Mark |
||||||
1917 | Isaiah 45:7 | Is 45:7 | mark d seyler | 136506 | ||
Zec 11:16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. 17 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. These verses tell us it is God Who raises up the antichrist, who will, in spite of himself, serve the LORD's purposes. But not to worry! We can trust God - He loves us!! Love in Christ Jesus, Mark |
