22 | What are the different types of worship? | Bible general Archive 2 | prayon | 111086 | ||
Greetings. I think that I know what you are looking for. There are 7 different types of praise and worship. 1) Tordah - worship with extended hands (I'm praising Him but I don't feel like it) 2) Yada praise - worship with extended hands (have the strength of the Lord) 3) Halal Praise - Celebrate, get wild, jump up and down, wave hands... 4) Zamai - Halal with instruments 5) Shabok - make a lot of noise with loud adoration - proclaiming the Word of God 6) Barak - a hush comes kneel and bow before the Lord worshiping HIm in spirit and truth 7) Tahelah - take the word and sing spiritual songs (the Spirit does the singing) Hope this helps. prayon |

24 | who is the pharisees | Bible general Archive 2 | prayon | 124179 | ||
Greetings LSmith, Their were two groups of religous leaders in Jesus' time - The Pharisee's and the Saducee's. The Pharisee's were noted most for their exact observance of the Jewish religion, their acurate exposition of the law, and the handing down of the extrabiblical customs and traditions. The Pharisee's believed in strict adherence to the law. They held a moderate position with regard to the interplay of fate and free will. They believed in the coming resurrection and in angels. The beliefs of the Pharisee's prevailed among the common people. They also believed in immortality. The Saducee's on the other hand were the ones who held the political power. They were usually wealthy arisacats. They accepted only the written "Torah" and rejected the oral interpretation of the Torah accepted by the Pharisee's. The obeyed only the literal interpretation of the written law. They rejected the doctrine of the future resurrection, did not believe in angels and spirits and denied immotality. They also did not believe in fate but believed that everything happened because of man's free will. Hope this helps to clarify. prayon |

25 | do i have to worship loudly? | Bible general Archive 2 | prayon | 124890 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum! First let me say that you will not go to hell. You go to hell on the condition of your heart - not on how you praise. I somewhat agree with what Norm said but I want to add to it. Most of the time instead of the singing part of the service being called worship it is called "praise and worship". Services should be a mixture of both praise and worship. Worship is quieter and more reverant. Praise is the opposite. Praise is as Norm said - making a joyful noise to the Lord. Darlene Zschech ( a well known praise and worship leader) said it this way in her book"Extravagant Worship": "Praise is not a happy-clappy song. Praise is not the fast songs before the nice, slow worship songs. Praise is a declaration, a victory cry, proclaiming faith to stand firm in the place God has given you. does tell us to shout and dance in praise to the Lord. SHOUT! Darlene Zschech defines shout this way: A shout commmands attention. A shout demonstates enthusiasm, confidence and determination. Psa 47:1b Clap your hands, all you people. Shout to God with a loud, joyful song. Psa 98:6 with trumpets and the playing of a ram's horn. Shout happily in the presence of the king, the LORD God also does tell us to dance: 1Sa 18:6b They sang and danced, accompanied by tambourines, joyful music, and triangles. 2Sa 6:14 David danced in the LORD'S presence with all his might. Exo 15:20 Then the prophet Miriam, Aaron's sister, took a tambourine in her hand. All the women, dancing with tambourines, followed her. . . So many people were brought up as you were where shouting, dancing and singing makes you uncomfortable. I was brought up that way. The first time I went to a pentecostal church I was very uncomfortable but there was a spirit there that kept drawing me back. Once I finally shook off the "uncomfortableness" I experienced a freedom that I never imagined. The bible does tell us to make a joyful noise (see list of scriptures from Norm). The God's Word translation uses the word "shout" instead of joyful noise. I will leave you with something that someone left me with years ago that helped me alot. Do you like to go to a sports event - like a football game or a basketball game. Imagine yourself in a situation of great excitement, such as your favotite team just scored a touchdown. Now I ask you these question. You jump and scream at the top of your lungs at the touchdown, but just what did that football touchdown ever do for you? On the other hand we have Jesus who died an extremely agonizing death for you so that you could have life, who comforts you, provides for you protects you and you don't feel comfortable shouting praises to Him? When I thought about that I got the point. I forced myself over my uncomfort. I hope you will do the same. Go to a place where you are totally alone and just yell Haleluja and Thank you Jesus repeatedly as loud as you can. I promise you that you will start feeling more comfortable about it. Psa 98:1 A psalm. Sing a new song to the LORD because he has done miraculous things. As for your son- At 17 he is old enough to make the decision for himself. Let him experience the different types of praise and worship. Your son is not spiritually dead but there may just be a part of the Holy Spirit that is "locked away" that his friend will help him to let out. As for his friend - tellhim that I understand where he is coming from due to my past experience. He knows the power that praise and worship can let loose in a life and he wants to share it. Tell him for me that his enthusiasm is commendable - especially for teens today but that he should share the joy he found without being judgemental of peoples lives. Tell him also what I told you in the first sentence. Thanks. Have a blessed day. I hope I have helped in some way. prayon |

But the bible says SHOUT unto God with a voice of triumph! Zech 9:9. The Message bible says to Raise the Roof!! I don't think that you can raise the roof and still do so in a quiet voice! |

29 | motivation twords faith | Bible general Archive 2 | prayon | 126289 | ||
Greetings Mike, One thing that can have a lot to do with motivation to read the bible is whether you understand what you are reading. If you don't understand what you are reading it can not hold your interest. I suggest the first thing you do is to find a bible that you can enjoy reading. I like the God's Word translation. Another one that is easy to read and understand is the Message Bible. These are just 2 there are many more out there. In addition don't try to over do it. There is no rush. Just read a chapter or 2 a day. There are a few "read the bible in a year" outlines you can also go by. These can help you stay on track. Happy Reading!!! prayon | ||||||

31 | WAS MY IMPORTANT DIVORCE A SIN | Bible general Archive 2 | prayon | 126291 | ||
Greetings, Mat 19:6 says "So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder" ASV. Any man that brings violence and abuse into his family life is putting asunder the marriage covenant that God has blessed. The violence is what breads up the marriage and the one responsible for that violence is the one responsible for the divorce. YOu committed no sin. Instead you used wisdom. Many people do not understand what it takes to get out of an abuse situation, I do because I have been there and I commmend you. prayon | ||||||
32 | WAS I THE ONE THAT GOT IT | Bible general Archive 2 | prayon | 126385 | ||
Greetings, Even though you initiated the "divorce" proceedings you are not the one responsible. You did nothing to bread up the marriage your spouse did it all. The "divorce" was not the end of your marriage the violence ended your marriage, and the one responsible for the violence is responsible for the end of the marriage. The "divorce" is only in fact a public acknowledgement of the private truth that a marriage has been destroyed by violence. Although I am sure it was a painful process you were only taking the steps necessary to remove you and your child from an destructive and dangerous situation. Hope this answers your question. prayon |

34 | principle of Biblical interpretation | Bible general Archive 2 | prayon | 128407 | ||
Greetings geof and welcome to the forum. Is there a principle in interpreting the bible? Yes! There are many. Some include the principle of word study, the principle of context, the principle of parallelism, and the principle of culture. There is a very good book that I used in school called "Knowing Scripture" by R. C. Sproul. If you would like to delve into interpretation I suggest you read this book to get an understanding of it. As or different denominations they almost all interpret things in different ways. Some get their interpretation from history of their denomination, some get it from making the bible fit their needs. The best thing to do is to study the word and see how God would lead you to understanding. Hope this helps. prayon | ||||||

36 | Why bad things happen? | Bible general Archive 2 | prayon | 135199 | ||
Greetings p139girl, I used to always ask the same question. I discovered that God allows bad things to happen to help us to grow in character and strength. He also allows us to go through trials so that we can use the experience later in life. For example, I went through spouse abuse. Now that I look back I have discovered that if I had not gone through the experience I would of never been able to help other woman who were involved in the same situation. If I had never experienced it I would of never been able to understand how the woman felt. Another thing that I have learned is that it was at these times that I learned to lean on God and trust in Him. My relationship with Him grew powerfully. God is in control of all things and He will turn bad situations around and use them for the good - Look for His hand in the situation. It will be there somewhere. While you are going through these bad times stop for a minute and do these couple things: 1) Ask God what He would have you to learn from the situation. 2) Look for the good things in the situation. I have learned that there is ALWAYS a blessing in every situation. Count and list the blessings that you can find. 3) Ask Him for direction in how to respond to the situation around you. "He will never leave you or forsake you". And Remember, "Lean not to your own understanding but in all ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path". Turn to Him for the comfort you seek. I know that God will take the experience you will gain and use it to help someone else. You may be the only support another person has. God Bless you. prayon |

37 | demons? | Bible general Archive 2 | prayon | 137821 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. I agree with Sarbegon - there is no problem with it if the text you are using is biblically sound. I would also recommend this Be sure to pray before you study and ask God to show you what He would have you to learn and for Him to guard your heart and mind while you are studying. prayon | ||||||
38 | Which book in the Bible do I commence | Bible general Archive 2 | prayon | 141369 | ||
Greetings, I agree with greentwiga that John is the best book to read for a new believer, but if I understand you right you are not a new believer. I will answer your question with a question - What version are you reading? The King James version is a beautiful version but I believe it is not the best one to use to get an understanding as you seem you want to do. If I was to recommend a bible version for you I would recommend that you use a God's Word translation or use the message bible. Both are much easier to understand and much easier to follow. Hope this helps you. prayon | ||||||
39 | What's up with the people of Nazareth? | Bible general Archive 2 | prayon | 141415 | ||
Greetings, This was a man that was familiar to them. This was Joseph's son afterall - the guy who lived just a few doors down. Too often we do not see that which is right beside us and this was surely a good part of the reason they didn't believe. Another reason was the same as people everywhere. They expected the Lord to make a grand entrance - with trumpets and angels announcing His arrival - not the quiet peaceful entrance that the Lord did make - a little baby born in a stable among the animals. Hope this helps. prayon |
