The Father is the giver and the Holy Spirit is the gift. Joh 14:16(NASB) "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; Joh 14:17(NASB) that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

202 | 100million man army against Isreal | Rev 9:16 | terrib | 148803 | ||
Regguh, You might be looking for this Scripture. Rev 9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. As far as them being an army against Israel it does not say. The context does reference a third of men. I don't find any reference to this in the Old Testament. terrib |

203 | steward of our money? | Matt 25:14 | terrib | 148055 | ||
Hi Liveright, We get this from the parable of the talents. Mat 25:14 - 30 Webster's Dictionary: STEWARD, n. [G., a room. The steward was then originally a chamberlain or a butler.] 1. A man employed in great families to manage the domestic concerns, superintend the other servants, collect the rents or income, keep the accounts, See Gen 15:2 and 43:19. 2. An officer of state; as lord high steward; steward of the household. 3. In colleges, an officer who provides food for the students and superintends the concerns of the kitchen. 4. In a ship of war, an officer who is appointed by the purser to distribute provisions to the officers and crew. In other ships, a man who superintends the provisions and liquors, and supplies the table. 5. In Scripture and theology, a minister of Christ, whose duty is to dispense the provisions of the gospel, to preach its doctrines and administer its ordinances. It is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 1 Cor 4. terrib |

204 | Need help with Greek/Hebrew translation | OT general | terrib | 148009 | ||
Hi Smiles77, This is the closest I found are two entries in Strong's Dictionary. Strong's : G3581 xen'-os (ksayn-os) Apparently a primary word; foreign (literally alien, or figuratively novel); by implication a guest or (vice-versa) entertainer: - host, strange (-r). Xena' (ksay-na) (not in Strong's Dictionary) plural of xenos (according to my Greek friend, George) ------------------- Strong's : G3578 xenia xen-ee'-ah (ksayn-ee-ah) From G3581; hospitality, that is, (by implication) a place of entertainment: - lodging. Hope this may help. terrib |

205 | Gatekeeper's charge to warn of danger | Ezek 33:6 | terrib | 147963 | ||
Seeker1940 and Brothers, Eze 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. Ah...how this has hit a target in my heart. Thank you for opening this vision up to me again. For I see in me a certain complacency in the comfort in Christ. And I also see a time when I am not doing all that I can and am able to do for my Savior. "but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand". Thy judgment has come into my heart, Oh Lord. My God, my Father, forgive me for not doing all I can do. I see the sword coming and I have not sounded the alarm. I am worse than a worm. I have let my enemy overthrow me. Safe in my world I venture not out. I have betrayed my love. My God, my Father, forgive me. The tears are on my pillow and I put a cover over my head. I see the eye of the Lord upon me and He sees my workings. My God, my Father, forgive me. terrib |

206 | Can you suggest some scripture texts tha | 1 Tim 4:12 | terrib | 147959 | ||
Dear Reverend, 1Ti 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Joh 21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. Joh 21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. Joh 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. Mat 20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; Mat 20:27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Mat 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. If you put Christ first the true congregation will follow the leadership of their shepard. terrib |

207 | absent from the body | Rom 8:23 | terrib | 147953 | ||
Hi Towanda, The first part of your question has to do with the soul. Absent from the body, there is a separation of the soul from the body when we die. The body goes in the ground and the soul goes to God. 2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. The second part of your question has to do with the body. The dead in Christ (1 Th 4:16) is talking of the bodies of the believers that are in the ground that will be raised and glorified like Jesus' body was at his resurrection. 1 Th 4:13: But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. The word "asleep" is a common term used for the dead. Compare, 1Ki 2:10 So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. 1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. terrib |

208 | Any Hebrew translators out there? | Josh 22:22 | terrib | 147931 | ||
Hi Ray, I did a search in three versions of the Bible. KJV: Search phrase: "The LORD God of gods" (as it appears in KJV) One occurrence at: Jos 22:22 The same three words (El Elohim Yehovah) are used in Psa 50:1, but the KJV does not translate them the same as in Jos 22:22. NASB: Search phrase: "The Mighty One, God, the LORD" (as it appears in NASB) Two occurrences at: Jos 22:22 and Psa 50:1 American Standard(ASV) Search phrase: "The Mighty One, God, Jehovah" (as it appears in ASV) Two occurrences at: Jos 22:22 and Psa 50:1 Psa 50:1(KJV) «A Psalm of Asaph.» The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Psa 50:1(NASB) A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God, the LORD, has spoken, And summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. Psa 50:1(ASV) The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, hath spoken, And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Concerning the three words (El Elohim Yehovah), "Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible" does reference Psa 50:1 as does "Keil and Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament". Just something to think about. NOTE: I replaced the "greater than" and the "less than" symbols in the KJV of Psa 50:1 with « and » because the forum does not allow those characters. terrib |

Hi kttyfx93, You wrote,"I'm a new member of a church and for our Bible study we have a quiz. The question is what is considered unsafe?" Maybe you could tell us what part of the Bible you are studying, what Book and Chapter were being discussed in the study at the time of the quiz.

211 | Any Hebrew translators out there? | Josh 22:22 | terrib | 147920 | ||
Hi Ray, Since nobody has responded to your Hebrew translation I am sending the following to you: You wrote concerning Jos 22:22: "How many nouns and pronouns of Deity would you count for the verse?" NOTE: the brackets [] and (numbers) that are inserted are mine. Jos 22:22 NASB "The Mighty One, God, the LORD, the Mighty One, God, the LORD! [ El(1) Elohim(2) Yehovah(3), El(4) Elohim(5) Yehovah(6) ] He(7) knows, and may Israel itself know. If it was in rebellion, or if in an unfaithful act against the LORD [ Yehovah(8) ] do not save us this day! The count is 8. Commentary: Jos 22:22: The Lord God of gods - The original words are exceedingly emphatic, and cannot be easily translated. (àì àìäéí éäåä(font unreadable by forum font limitations)) El Elohim Yehovah, are the three principal names by which the supreme God was known among the Hebrews, and may be thus translated, the strong God, Elohim, Jehovah, which is nearly the version of Luther, der starcte Gott der Herr, “The strong God the Lord.” And the Reubenites, by using these in their very solemn appeal, expressed at once their strong unshaken faith in the God of Israel; and by this they fully showed the deputation from the ten tribes, that their religious creed had not been changed; and, in the succeeding part of their defense they show that their practice corresponded with their creed. The repetition of these solemn names by the Reubenites, etc., shows their deep concern for the honor of God, and their anxiety to wipe off the reproach which they consider cast on them by the supposition that they had been capable of defection from the pure worship of God, or of disaffection to their brethren. (Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible) NOTE: The font system on this forum does not allow the for the correct font to be used, therefore the above is as close as can be with the forum's font limitations. terrib |

213 | Are there angels before earth was formed | Gen 1:1 | terrib | 147884 | ||
Greetings 29602004, Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. The plural of heaven is used here because God seperated the firmament into various parts. Reference Genesis 1:1 where it is singular, "the heaven and the earth". Host here refers to all the things that were created, sun, moon, stars, planets, plants, animals and humans. Also the words are, [sh âm ayîm], "skies", being the "high" or [(sh am ay), "be high", in Arabic] being "airy" region; the overarching dome of space, with all its revolving orbs. Thus it has to do with the visible elements of our universe. Deu 23:9 When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing. Host here refers to the encampment of men that will fight. The armies of Israel. Psa 27:3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. Host here again refers to an army of human enemies, not angels. If it refered to angels then David would fear because then he would know that God was against him. Psa 33:16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. Host here refers to the amount of military strength that a king might have. He may be at the head of a numerous army, and yet not get the victory over a lesser one. Psa 103:21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. His armies; the vast multitudes of holy beings (angels), arranged and marshalled as hosts for battle, in all parts of the universe. Ye ministers of his - The same beings referred to by the word “hosts,” and all others who may be employed in executing his will. The “hosts” or armies of the Lord are thus marshalled that they may “do his pleasure,” or that they may execute his purposes. We have to be careful when we read some of the words that have different meanings. The need to view the entire thought of the verse and the context into which it is laid. If one is talking about going to battle and say that a host also will go, I am not talking about angels but an encampment of people. From what we are given in the Scriptures, we know that God created the angels. The Scriptures do not tell us exactly when they were created. All inferences in the Scriptures lead us to the presumption they were in existance before the heaven and the earth were created. For nowhere does it discuss their time of creation. As for a short thesis I would offer this: God is Holy, a word we don't see much of, and He will not accept anything unholy. Satan rebelled against God and left his first estate and took with him some of the angels. In God's devine wisdom and justice he had to have a judicial way to pass His judgement on such an unholy rebellion. God, in His wisdom and mercy created the world and man, a lower form of creature than the angels, as Satan is, as a way to pass this devine justice upon Satan. That man, a lowly creature could and would be the instrument that would judge Satan in the end. For justice could not just destroy that which was created and mercy would not be served. By giving His Son to come into the world and show this lowly creature, man, the majesty and fairness of the Lord God, the triumph of man, Jesus, would pass judgement on the principalities of evil. Are we pawns, well some might look at it that way, but we are the creation of the Holy God, in His image, having been given some of His attributes. Though it is not just a whim on His part but He loves all His creations and He sees in us the potential to be the best of all His creations for all times. And being the clay, we have no right to ask why the potter made us this way. The riches and mercies, the justice and holiness of God can not be uttered by human words but by gronings within the spirit of the man. As Scripture states, we wrestle against principalities and powers, and we will overcome and the scales will be balanced forever more. Thank you Father for Jesus, our savour. Amen. terrib P.S. You have responded to a post that is over 4 years old. Better late than never. Just kidding. Love you 29602004. |

216 | Children are God's , not man's | Bible general Archive 2 | terrib | 147816 | ||
Greetings uh-oh, The First Commandment given to man: Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply... Marriage instituted: Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Eve had a husband: Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. Adam had a wife: Gen 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. The seed is to go to your wife, period. Maybe one could look at it as a form of prostitution. The selling of oneself. About giving your children to the heathen, possibly you were thinking of: Lev 20:2 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

217 | Choosing a bilbe text | Matt 10:8 | terrib | 147802 | ||
Greetings Techguy, I believe the American Standard Version is also available off copyright. Maybe you could have different versions available and let the user decide which format they would prefer. I believe your referencing would be done by Book, Chapter and Verse, so whichever one they would pick, the referencing index would be the same. In your question you seem to like the word "free", is your work going to be freely given also? The "newbie" you refer to, is it new to the Scriptures or to the programming or to the marketing? Zondervan has a NIV available for phones. Also, you could do a Google search. Tip: use "phone bible mobile" (without the quotes) for Google. Check the other shareware or freeware sites, ZDNet, PCWorld, etc. for more info. Mat 10:8 (KJV) "...freely ye received, freely give" Hope this helps, terrib |

218 | Head of the household passage - where? | Eph 5:23 | terrib | 147800 | ||
Greetings Roro, Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. terrib |
