Jimmy: The purpose of this Forum is Bible study. Many things the Forum is not, among them it is not a soapbox to air theories on contemporary issues on which the Bible is silent, or to pronounce judgment on any other user, or to declare another user deceived because his views do not agree with your own on every issue. Guard your words with all diligence. Adhere to Forum guidelines. Ask Bible questions. Give Bible answers. Avoid ad hominem slurs against your fellow users of the Forum. Base your comments on Scripture, but not on emotion, conjecture or speculation. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. --Hank | ||||||

Dear ebrain: Thanks for responding. Indeed there is sagacity in Psalm 118:8 regardless of the method one uses to arrive at it! ..... You may be acquainted with the numerological tale of Shakespeare and Psalm 46. The Authorized Version was printed the same year that William Shakespeare turned 46. If one counts down from the beginning of Psalm 46, the 46th word is "shake." If he counts up from the end of the Psalm, the 46th word is "spear." Is the connection with the Bard merely coincidental or did the translators, or even the Bard himself, have a hand in it? ..... I've followed your posts with interest and take this opportunity to bid you a belated welcome to this Forum. I note that hail from the UK. So did my great-grandfather who came to America from Birmingham, England and settled in Birmingham, Alabama. --Hank | ||||||
207 | iS THE u.s. MENTIONED IN BIBLE PROFACY | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 160459 | ||
flm1964 -- Thanks for your question and first post. Welcome. The United States is not mentioned in Scripture, nor "hinted at" in Bible prophecy, at least not to my knowledge and belief. One always should be extremely cautious in "reading into Scripture" what isn't there (called eisegesis). The Apocalyptic Literature of the Bible and matters pertaining to eschatology are deep waters in which even the "experts" often find themselves over their heads. I talked to a fine scholar one time who had made the book of the Revelation his object of special study. He told me he'd studied it for a quarter century but disavowed any claim to mastery of the book. Unfortunately, on the other hand, we see from time to time a whiz-kid buzz by who has skimmed through a couple of chapters of apocalyptic Scripture and would have you believe he knows more about eschatology than the Apostle John himself. --Hank | ||||||
208 | Purgatory and Priest | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 160679 | ||
Hi, Jayell. Your first question is about confessing to priests. The Bible says that we are to confess our sins to God (1 John 1:9). The Catholic practice is based on tradition. ..... Your second question is about purgatory. There is absolutely no mention of purgatory in the Bible. The Catholic concept of purgatory comes from one of the Apocryphyal books, 2 Maccabees. --Hank | ||||||
209 | which bible verse talks about prophecy? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 160768 | ||
Dear Christian - That's a large order! In the NASB, there are 19 verses that contain the word "prophecy"; 89 that contain "prophesy" or "prophesying," and a whopping 450 verses that contain "prophet." ..... Perhaps you may wish to narrow your question down a bit. Or if you like you can go to "Get Bible Text" at the right of this screen and type in the respective key words, one key word for each search. --Hank | ||||||

There were no Muslims in Bible times, i.e., the times when the Bible was written. Mohammed, founder of Islam, was born in Mecca in 570 A.D. Please, let's confine our questions to biblical topics; the study of Islam is not one of these. --Hank | ||||||
213 | A Thought-provoking question | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 164164 | ||
My dear rashiner, when one reads loaded and assumptive questions such as this one you've posed -- questions that attempt to use Scripture to promulgate a faulty premise -- he is given to wonder whether the questioner is using Scripture as a drunken man uses lamp posts -- for support rather than illumination. --Hank | ||||||
214 | is the typeology correct? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 165441 | ||
Happy New Year, Chusarcik! Dr. C. I. Scofield, who was certainly big on the theory or doctrine of biblical typology, issued two warnings on the subject: "(1) nothing may be insisted upon as a type without explicit New Testament authority; and (2) all types not so authenticated must be recognized as having only the authority of analogy, of spiritual congruity." Concerning types he further observes, "Types occur most frequently in the Pentateuch, but are found, more sparingly, elsewhere. The antitype, or fulfillment of the type, is found generally in the New Testament." This is an excerpt from Scofield's annotation on Genesis 2:23 that appears in the New Scofield Reference Bible (KJV), 1967 Edition, (Oxford University Press). Perhaps Dr. Scofield's guidelines will prove helpful to you. --Hank | ||||||

You and your married woman friend must be very young: Mature people don't usually speak of developing "crushes" -- that's a word we used as high-school teenagers. Young man, you're messing around with fire with this wife of another man -- and a mother yet! Wake up, get counsel if you require it and encourage the woman to get counsel too -- both of you could very likely use some mature guidance -- but at all events break off this relationship with this married woman and mother totally, cleanly, permanently, and quickly before you both get severely burned! Don't dally around. Do it now, today! --Hank | ||||||

chell: Rivet your attention to the program and counseling sessions in which your pastor is guiding you. You are most unlikely to find specific answers to your problem on this Forum or any other web site, so don't waste your time and energy flitting around the internet for solutions! Stick with what your pastor has made available and give it your all. And don't forget to pray. Take your burdens to the Lord in prayer. And do not forsake a regular, daily encounter with the Scriptures. Feed upon God's word every day of your life. --Hank | ||||||
219 | Why so many Bibles? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 166719 | ||
Md1234: Bless your heart! I feel your pain! -") A septuagenarian myself, I find myself lapsing into luxurious revelry from time to time, longing for the good old days that shall be no more -- the simple days of yore when everyone drove either a Ford or Chevrolet in any color he wanted as long as it was black, when a box of cereal meant a box of corn flakes or shredded wheat, when we had a choice of one or possibly two radio stations to listen to, when everybody lived in white frame houses with big front porches, and when almost everybody went to church on Sunday mornings wearing starched collars and carrying their black King James Bibles. Except nobody called it the King James Version back then. It wasn't a version of the Bible. It was THE Bible. Period. You could buy it about everywhere. Even Sears and Roebuck sold it in their catalog. But you never ordered the King James Version OF the Bible. You just ordered the Bible. And the King James is what you always got. ...... Now times have changed and are a changing still. But I am happy to report to you, with hopes that it will assuage your fears, that nothing has happened to Jesus Christ. He is still the same: yesterday, today, and forever. And I am happy also to report to you that certain of His followers, that dedicated cadre of godly men and women who devote their lives and talents to the study of the ancient tongues and customs-- with a scholarly eye ever focused on the enormously difficult and exacting task of translating God's word into good and understandable modern languages -- have been able to accomplish their mission of translating without adding to or taking from the word of God. One would be hard pressed to find any group of translators more honorable, more of conviction, and more dedicated to the task of rendering God's word into an English translation more transparent of the ancient manuscripts than the hard-working teams who translated the original NASB and its 1995 Update -- and this would include the group who gave us the King James Bible in 1611. ..... Yes, admittedly, the plethora of new versions can be bewildering at times. But the advantages of having several excellent modern translations at our beck and call cannot be ignored and, for my money, outweigh the mild "tower of Babel" syndrome some seem to experience when exposed to different translations. ..... It might be observed in postscript that it took some 50 years for the venerable King James Bible to gain general acceptance among its readers. Its translators too were accused of shaking things up and changing things around so much! ..... I'm 70 years old, as I've stated, but I make every effort to keep my mind active and alive and to stave off becoming fossilized for as long as possible. One way to do this is to recognize that all living languages change, and that any work, religious or secular, that was set down in the English language of Elizabethan times, is outdated and in need of updating. But in reading the Elizabethan English of Shakespeare's dramas and sonnets, it is not nearly as crucial to understand his every word as it is to understand God's word. The language of the King James may be beautiful (it is), its sounds musical and its cadence poetic, but if it fails to communicate meaning to the modern reader, it fails to serve him well. ..... Who among modern readers is likely to understand this question: "How long will ye love vanity and seek after leasing?" (Psalm 4:2b, KJV). Who would not find it much more understandable to read: "How long will you love what is worthless and aim at deception?" (Psalm 4:2b, NASB). The fresh new translation of 1611 is the archaic one today. And should the world stand another 400 years, the New American Standard Bible will be the crusty old version that few read and even fewer understand. Life goes on. --Hank | ||||||
220 | Why so many Bibles? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 166726 | ||
Excellent post, most excellent Huron! To carry your fine observations of the NASB a trifle farther, it might be noted that it is the considered opinion of this writer that to a certain degree the NASB has become the victim of a somewhat nasty and essentially inaccurate rumor; to wit, that in its herculean efforts to be literal it has inadventently become what the critics have called "a wooden translation." I sometimes feel like countering with, "Well, if I were a translation, I'd sooner be wooden than plastic. And would prefer to be literal than approximate, to be the real McCoy than the shadowy "dynamic equivalent" of the real thing. It'd rather give praises to God by translating the actual phrases of God than dumping off my own gussied-up paraphrases." .... Actually, I do get a little tired of hearing some of these wild-eyed disciples of the dynamic equivalence/paraphrase school carp on the woodeness of such excellent formal, word-for-word translations as the NASB 1995 Update. I've been hanging around words for many decades and even majored in English, and so lay claim to knowing a thing or two about putting English words together in order to be able to say something meaningful. And I find that by and large the NASB reads well. It is clear and comprehensible. I'll concede it doesn't read, as a blurb for a certain sorry paraphrased version announced upon its publication some years ago, "like today's newspaper", a fact for which I am enormously grateful and stand in admiration of the good sense of the NASB translators! --Hank | ||||||
