21 | Old and New test. definitions of sin | Mark 10:19 | Machaira | 182435 | ||
1. Both in the NT as well as the OT the most basic meaning of the word "sin" is "to miss" or "to miss the mark" - the mark meaning God's standard. See Thayers Greek and Brown, Driver and Briggs Hebrew Lexicons. 2. Regarding Jesus' encounter with the "rich man," notice that the commandmants that He quotes are all from the "second table" of the law which pertain to our obligations to our fellow man, whereas the "first table" deals with our obligations to God. This is significant and clearly by design because although the rich man claimed that "all these I have kept from my youth," Jesus points out that he was mistaken. The rich man may in fact have observed the "letter" of these commands, but he missed the "spirit" of them. For example, the "letter" says "do not steal," but the "spirit" of this is "give to those in need." Jesus points out the rich man's deficiency by telling him to do the one thing he was reluctant to do . . . "go, sell all that you have and give to the poor . . ." 3. You said, "Jesus precedes his advice by effectively saying, "Do not reject one word of the law you know" - that is, the Ten Commandments, but then seems to give advice on how to interpret the commandments that contradicts this?" Could you give me an example of what you mean by this? Machaira |

22 | Source of "Sin begets sin" | James 1:13 | Machaira | 182416 | ||
The phrase "sin begets sin" probably stems from an extra-biblical source. I ran the words through a Bible search engine, a concordance and I even tried to google it, but came up empty as far as a Biblical reference is concerned. Machaira |
||||||
23 | does that refer to Christians today? | Ps 90:10 | Machaira | 182414 | ||
No... Psalm 90:10 is not specific to Christians. The Psalmist is merely making a generalisation about the average life span of someone living long enough to die of "old age." Machaira |
||||||
24 | do we choose how long we live | Ps 90:10 | Machaira | 182409 | ||
The well known preacher to which you refer may be thinking of Psalm 90:10, but that's just a guess. In any case, the psalmist in that particular Psalm only speaks of "70" as an average life span and says no more than that. If you ever discover where your sister got this strange teaching I'd love to know. In all my years as a student of the Bible, I have never heard of such a thing. Machaira |

25 | All Biblical Names and descriptions Of G | Bible general Archive 3 | Machaira | 182401 | ||
I'm not endorsing the entire site because I just don't have time to look at everything there, but the "names" you are looking for are listed. http://www.ldolphin.org/Names.html Machaira |

26 | make my word your home | James 1:22 | Machaira | 182364 | ||
It simply means "if you continue in my teaching . . ." In other words, Jam 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. Machaira |
||||||
27 | may eat and not die | John 6:50 | Machaira | 182351 | ||
Actually it is definately stated. The verbs "eat" and "die" are both in the subjunctive mood. The subjunctive mood indicates probability or objective possibility. It is most often used in "if this . . . then that . . . clauses. The way in which this is expressed in English is by use of words like "might," "may," or "let." So in other words what you see as an "auxilary" verb is actually inherent in both "eat" and "die." Machaira |

28 | what was Jesus' first miracle | John 2:11 | Machaira | 182347 | ||
Changing water into wine at the wedding in Cana. See John 2:1 - 11. Joh 2:11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him. |

29 | Geneology of Judah (to Solomon) | Bible general Archive 3 | Machaira | 182327 | ||
Are you asking with regard to Judah the son of Jacob or the tribe of Judah? Is there something specific that you're looking for? Peace in Christ, Machaira |
||||||
30 | Blessing of Abraham? | Gal 3:14 | Machaira | 182325 | ||
The blessing of Abraham is justification by faith, which is the entire focus of Galatians 3. A clear and concise statement to this effect can be seen in the following passage: Gal 3:8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you shall all the nations be blessed." Gal 3:9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. Peace in Christ, Machaira |
||||||
31 | why the bubbling of the water | John 5:3 | Machaira | 182323 | ||
The bubbling water was a sign that the angel was present. Joh 5:3 . . . waiting for the moving of the water. Joh 5:4 for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the waters stepped in was made whole, with whatsoever disease he was holden. Machaira |

32 | revealed to Samarithans | John | Machaira | 182322 | ||
1. If you only knew what God is offering . . . Eternal life. See John 4:14 below. 2. and who it is that is saying to you: Give me a drink . . . The savior of 'the world' (Jews and Gentiles) See John 1:29 below. 3. you would have been the one to ask, and he would have given you living water. 'Living water' is a type of the Holy Spirit. See John 7:37 - 39 below. Joh 1:29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! Joh 4:14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty forever. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." Joh 7:37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Joh 7:38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'" Joh 7:39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Machaira |

33 | about the dream and the king wise men | Dan 2:2 | Machaira | 182283 | ||
The king suspected that the magicians, etc., were frauds, so he puts them to the test. If they are able to tell him what he dreamt, then he could be sure that there interpretation would be accurate and not just something they fabricated to make him happy. Dan 2:9 if you do not make the dream known to me, there is but one sentence for you. You have agreed to speak lying and corrupt words before me till the times change. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can show me its interpretation." Machaira |
||||||
34 | confused about who are sinners and not | 1 Tim 1:15 | Machaira | 182268 | ||
The Apostle Paul seemed to think that he was still a sinner even after conversion. Notice how he says, "I am" the foremost. 1Ti 1:15 The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. Peace in Christ, Machaira |

35 | Better Greek Translation for 2 Thess.? | 2 Thess 2:2 | Machaira | 182261 | ||
The Greek texts in question would be Alexandrian. Some of the oldest and most comlete texts come from this text type, which is why they're deemed 'better.' Either way, the same event and person is in view no matter which reading is adopted. Notice how in verse 1 Christ is called our "Lord" Jesus Christ. Peace in Christ, Machaira |
||||||
36 | green wood like this? | Luke 23:31 | Machaira | 182220 | ||
A green tree is one that still has life in it, whereas a dry tree is dead and ready to be cut down and thrown into the fire. So, basically, what Jesus is saying is this: If that generation could do such evil in the presence of their messiah how much worse would they do when he and his apostles were gone? The "dry tree" was most likely fulfilled in the atrocities committed inside Jerusalem during the 3 year seige leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD by the Romans. Peace in Christ, Machaira |
||||||
37 | Is it faith missing? | Rom 8:28 | Machaira | 182211 | ||
Without knowing the specifics of your situation it's difficult not to give you what may appear as a very simplistic answer. Here it is: Rom 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. The Lord takes us through many different 'seasons' of life - some good and some bad, and even some in between. Notice, that Paul says that "all things work together for good," not just the good things. When you read Scriptures in the future, notice that even the mightiest men of God had good times and bad. They didn't always have their prayers answered the way they would have liked and yet God was still working in them and through them. What should you do at this time in your life? Continue to seek God in prayer, in His Word and in fellowship with a local assembly of believers. Without these things you certainly will feel disconnected. Peace in Christ, Machaira |

38 | Roman documentation of Christs execution | NT general Archive 1 | Machaira | 182202 | ||
Extant Roman documentation is scant, but here is a mention by the Roman historian 'Tacitus.' But all human efforts, all the lavish gifts of the emperor, and the propitiations of the gods, did not banish the sinister belief that the conflagration was the result of an order. Consequently, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called 'Chrestians' by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilate, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their center and become popular. - Tacitus, Annals 15.44.2-8, c. 64 AD. Peace in Christ, Machaira |

39 | definition of a hypocrite | NT general Archive 1 | Machaira | 182200 | ||

Thayer Definition: 1) one who answers, an interpreter 2) an actor, stage player 3) a dissembler, pretender, hypocrite Part of Speech: noun masculine Peace in Christ, Machaira |

40 | Women in the Body of Christ? Psalm 68:11 | Bible general Archive 3 | Machaira | 182189 | ||
Nothing specific is being taught regarding the role of women in the Church. The imagery in Psalm 68:11 refers to the Oriental custom whereby females celebrated victories in songs and dances. See Exo 15:20-21; Jdg 11:34; Jdg 21:21; 1Sa 18:6-7. | ||||||
