21 | sinful flesh or flesh? | Rom 8:3 | bjh | 116678 | ||
I think it's funny (perhaps a bad word), but the NIV isn't consistent in this. First it's called "sinful nature" and then "sinful man" (and back again). I would almost take bigger issue with "likeness of sinful man". Christ became fully human (yet without sin - John 1:14; Heb 4:15). I don't take too much issue with the NIV, however. From my understanding it wasn't designed to be an exact verbatim translation, it does have the general idea. At the same time, many times the sinful nature is in view when it says flesh (for example Romans 8:9). In 8:9, unless I am beside myself, few would argue that the physical is in view here. It would appear to be the sinful nature that is meant. |

22 | Is divorce alright with god | Mal 2:15 | bjh | 114908 | ||
No, divorce is not alright. Here in Malachi 2:15 and 16, we read that God hates divorce. |

23 | About Premillenialism... | Bible general Archive 2 | bjh | 107946 | ||
Since you asked "what scriptures" I'll file this under general. Basically Premillennialism is the idea where Christ's second coming is followed by a thousand year reign on David's throne. Rev 20:1-6 Gives the time. Romans 8:18-22 talks about creation being restored from its subjection. (As opposed to being burned up, as in 2 Peter 3) How? Answer - millennial reign of Christ. Isaiah 11 also speaks of the millennium. Note the restored earth in terms of the animal kingdom. Daniel 2:34-35, 44-45. Note how the stone destroys the other kingdoms so that not a trace of them is left. We don't see this today, so when? Answer: The millennial kingdom. Back to Rev 20. Note that the Bible says that Satan will be bound and imprisoned for 1000 years. Yet, we know that today Satan prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (1 Peter 5:8). Yet, we see that there is death and a curse, Isaiah 65:20. Again, not today - few people, if any would consider 100 youthful. Answer - millennial kingdom. 1 Cor 15:20-28 - Christ will come, and all of His people will be raised. He will reign until he has subjected all his enemies. After that, he will deliver up the kingdom to the Father. |

24 | what is the meaning of the name Boaz? | Bible general Archive 2 | bjh | 107066 | ||
I'm not sure the answer is found in the Bible but this is what I found... Boaz means... "In Him is Strength" Copyright info... Youngblood, Ronald F.

25 | Two Christmases? | Is 9:6 | bjh | 106368 | ||
The "Santa Claus" Christmas seems to be a cheap immitation. This is not to say that it is wrong to exchange gifts at Christmas, but we, as Christians, exchange gifts with the understanding that the greatest gift came from God the Father, in the person of His Son. (Of course, we "give thanks to the Lord above" through His Son, and for His Son.). What other thoughts would you add to this, Hank? |

26 | Does Deut. 24:1 still apply? | Deut 24:4 | bjh | 106084 | ||
When we look at divorce, we must take into account all the passages that speak about it. We must understand that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). Divorce is tied to the seventh commandment (Ex 20:14; Matthew 19:9). Divorce is sin. So, on the one hand, it seems like your question is, "do two wrongs make a right?". No, of course not. See also Matthew 5:32. I think Deut 24:1-4 still applies. Why do you ask? |

27 | Gog follow up question | Rev 20:1 | bjh | 105002 | ||
Regarding the "further explanation"...Perhaps what was meant is that in Romans 8, we do not read about creation being "burned up" (like in 2 Peter 3:10) but rather being set free. The language of Romans 8:18-22 looks to the restoration of the present earth (rather than to a new earth). Further characteristics of that time of restoration are found in Isaiah 11 and 60-66. The actual lifespan for the restored earth comes from Rev 20 (a thousand years). | ||||||
28 | Is "Lifting His name" Biblical? | John 12:32 | bjh | 104264 | ||
Psalm 34:3 "O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together." Yes, "Lifting His name" is Biblical. Dictionary.com defines exalt as... "To raise in rank, character, or status; elevate: exalted the shepherd to the rank of grand vizier. To glorify, praise, or honor. To increase the effect or intensity of; heighten: works of art that exalt the imagination." So if you would allow for the bjh paraphrase... "Declare the Lord's greatness together with me and let us lift up His name together." |

29 | Heaven isn't capitalized because...? | Bible general Archive 2 | bjh | 98763 | ||
Editors preference, I guess. (Kind of like using "bible" instead of "Bible"). Punctuation is a recent addition to languages (like somewhere in the last 500 years). As for capitalization, some, if not all of the earlier manuscripts used all CAPS and no spaces. |

30 | Why will God judge the church? | 1 Pet 4:17 | bjh | 97393 | ||
The Judgment seat of Christ is not in regards to His wrath (and hence, it does not result in condemnation). However, believers are judged based on the works we have done. (2 Cor 5:10) See also 1 Cor 3:10-15. 1 Peter seems to be speaking of a purification, so that the good stuff remains, and the bad stuff burns off. This sort of parallels 1 Cor 3. |

31 | Explain the Diagram of the Bible | Bible general Archive 2 | bjh | 97221 | ||
This looks similar to your other question, so I'll give the same response. It seems like the question is asking you to give the content of each section. (E. g., Matthew - John, either "The Gospels" or "The Life of Christ"). Okay, so "Give a description of each grouping". What do you know about Genesis? What can you find there? What do you know about Exodus - Deut.? ... Maybe the first question I should have asked is "Could you give a 3-6 word description of each section?" -- b. j. h.-- |

33 | What was Samson Weight and Height? | Judges | bjh | 95667 | ||
Both of those depend upon his age. In Judges 13:24 he weighed a lot less than he did in 14:1. Hopefully he was a lot smaller, too. Again, he weighed less in 16:19 than he did in 16:18. What makes you ask? |
||||||
34 | was Samson a good man | Heb 11:32 | bjh | 92725 | ||
My first instinct is to have you define "good". Luke 18:19 says, "No one is good, except for God alone." So in that sense, no human being is good except for Jesus Christ. I pointed you to Hebrews 11, because here we look back at men of faith. The author, here, includes Samson among them. Was he good in that sense. Yes. Was he perfect. No, but then nobody is (except for God). |

35 | association between demons and vomiting | Jude 1:8 | bjh | 92716 | ||
I'm not sure where the modern practice came from. Christ, himself, cast out demons. (Luke 8:27ff; Luke 9:42ff; Luke 11:14ff) so did the apostles (Acts 8:7; Acts 19:12ff). However, consider what Jude has to say. In verse 8 and the following verses, Jude gives strong warnings about casting out demons. |

36 | Law of the spirit? | Rom 8:2 | bjh | 91454 | ||
You refer to other posts, I guess assuming you'd get some of those posters over here, so forgive me for "jumping in". Since you asked a "primary question", I thought I'd take a stab at it. I'd like to turn around your first question and ask..."Will the word of God be made better if we add pronouns of Deity where there weren't any to begin with?" My answer to both questions is, "no". As for Romans 8:1, the truth found in the KJV is found in Romans 8:4. (My thought being, if it is found once, it must be true.) With that being said, in Romans 8:2, we have "the Spirit of life". My Greek is a little rusty, but I don't think we can separate Spirit and life. As for your other point, I believe that it is the Holy Spirit that moves through the word of the Lord...perhaps to stir up our spirits. (Luke 24:32, although I may be reading too much into that.)...perhaps to convict (John 16:8-14), perhaps granting us "life and peace" (Rom. 8:6).... I guess what I'm trying to say is that I believe that the Holy Spirit is very active in our lives. B. J. H. |
