21 | Do you own a TNIV? | Bible general Archive 1 | Timothy Paul | 68897 | ||
Thank-you for your reply, Makarios, nice to hear from you again. I like the versions that you sent along w/the requested info. As you see, what concerns me with any translation is how they react to Jesus. If you noticed, I included a paraphrased version that tells us Jesus is a reflection of God's Glory. This is I feel, inaccurate. It is telling me that Jesus is to the moon as God is to the sun, (the moon does not give off any light of it's own, but reflects from another source). Other translations I like use the words Refulgence, or Effulgence (of God's Glory), which means a brilliant radiance from within. This is something I use to test different versions, but I enjoyed paraphrased versions when I first started studying God's Word and did not care what others thought. I am a firm believer in the very best Bible in print is the one that you will read. This plants the seed and the Holy Spirit will nurture the seed for growth as God sees fit. again, Thank you kindly, Peace and Blessings to you, too, brother. Tim |

22 | Do you own a TNIV? | Bible general Archive 1 | Timothy Paul | 68781 | ||
Brad K, I'm wondering if you could please give me one verse from this translation. It is one verse that I turn to first whenever I see a Bible that I am unfamiliar with. The verse is, Hebrews 1:3 Here it is in the KJV, Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: And now, the NIV, The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. Now, the NLT, The Son reflects God's own glory, and everything about him represents God exactly. He sustains the universe by the mighty power of his command. After he died to cleanse us from the stain of sin, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God of heaven. Amen. Praise God for His Living Word. The point I am trying to illustrate, never hearing before of a TNIV, is, how does this Bible translate the relation between Jesus and His Father, God? Can you see the discrepancy between two translations above, and the third one? I shall await your reply, thank you, and God Bless. tim |

You are most welcome, Belyn, but I can hardly accept credit when the Reverend Spurgeon gave you the enlightenment. Praise God for sites like this forum and so many others. If you are a fan of Spurgeon, may I suggest you look up; The Spurgeon Archive found at; http://www.spurgeon.org/mainpage.htm Happy Hunting, May God Bless You and Your Efforts, Tim I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

25 | Should the Bible be taken literlly? | Bible general Archive 1 | Timothy Paul | 61130 | ||
kalos, I earnestly thank you for your benevolent criticism concerning my post to hillbilly. I assure you that it was taken in the vein in which it was intended, being neither derogatory nor hypocritical. Being quite tired after laboring for a 17 hr. day, I was trying to answer the question in the quickest way that my 2 fingers could type it. I realize now this was self-serving, as I sometimes use this forum as a way to unwind and set my mind right before slumber. You obviously spend much time overseeing posts and censuring those that fail to toe the line and I thank you for that. I wish to thank you and all at Lockman Foundation for all of us that enjoy learning the Bible through this forum Peace and Blessings to you and yours, Tim |

26 | Sin is about a broken relationship.... | Luke 15:11 | Timothy Paul | 60538 | ||
Thank-you inheavenseyes for the fun and educational thread (o: I have learned of the great love and affection wherewith the Father in heaven uses in trying to restore our relationship w/Him after the fall. in the future I must try to be governed in my own actions by the wisdom that is from above, which is gentle and not overbearing. This has been a wonderful lesson on how the grace and mercy of God is offered towards poor sinners that repent and return to him, and his readiness to forgive them. Thank you again, and God Bless. |

27 | obedience begins at the new birth | 1 John 3:10 | Timothy Paul | 60511 | ||
Hi teragram123, Yes I agree, because the freedom to obey comes through the grace of God and not of our own power. And remaining obedient when we do not understand is true freedom. This leads to peace. The above thoughts are gleaned from THE HANDBOOK OF BIBLE APPLICATION. TYNEDALE 1992 Peace to you, Tim |

30 | what is the oldest form of religion? | Bible general Archive 1 | Timothy Paul | 60414 | ||
dear benard 21269, Hinduism is the worlds oldest religion, according to http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/9410/hindu1.html to quote from this page; "Hinduism is also known as "Sanatana Dharma" to Hindus. In Sanskrit, the original language of India, 'Sanatana' means Everlasting and 'Dharma', by a crude translation, means Religion. The Everlasting Religion, Hinduism was founded, exists and flourishes in India. Sanatana Dharma does not have a starting point in history, does not have a founder, and has no Church. The sages who shaped the Hindu religion merely reiterated the teachings of the Vedas, the Hindu scriptures (most of which is unwritten)." Peace, Tim |

31 | title deed to the earth | Matt 4:8 | Timothy Paul | 60413 | ||
Yes teragram123, It is true that satan could not offer the kingdoms of the world if he did not control them. This authority was given to satan by Adam when he chose to obey satan instead of God. "captivity captive" I found in Eph 4:8 and here is what Matthew Henry's Commentary (published posthumously, circa 1720) says for our edification: "Captivity is here put for captives, and signifies all our spiritual enemies, who brought us into captivity before. He conquered those who had conquered us; such as sin, the devil, and death. Indeed, he triumphed over these on the cross; but the triumph was completed at his ascension, when he became Lord over all, and had the keys of death and hades put into his hands." However it is my belief that satan is still the prince of this world, and will be until the second coming. Peace, Tim |

33 | Justify Leviticus 20:13 | Lev 20:13 | Timothy Paul | 60312 | ||
Really. In truth I must answer that the term political correctness is a tool of deception to prevent someone from being held accountable. | ||||||
34 | Justify Leviticus 20:13 | Lev 20:13 | Timothy Paul | 60310 | ||
Amen. I agree that we (or the best among us) are not necesarily to remain passively silent while the worst among us tend towards passionate aggression for their ungodly cause. Excuse me if this sounds like judging my brethren. For clarity, see D. James Kennedy sermon transcript entitled "Will the Church Forget?" Bless You, Tim |

35 | Hope | Ps 130:5 | Timothy Paul | 60291 | ||
Excellent, Makarios, let me add some from TYNDALE"S Handbook of Bible Application: "A Christian's hope is based on God's faithfullness, Lev 26:44: And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not spurn and cast them away, neither will I despise and abhor them to destroy them utterly and to break My covenant with them, for I am the Lord their God." Hope comes from trusting Christ, Mark 5:36: As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe." Hope comes from remembering all that God has done for us, and it will become stronger as we rely on God during difficult times, Romans 5:1-5: Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." AND Lastly, hope grows as we remember the promise of the resurrection, 1Thes. 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." peace, Tim |

Thank you searcher, I became familiar w/Dr. Chopra when I was caught in the world and saw a telethon on PBS called "Mind, Body, and Soul". It had some very interesting insights and got me to think harder about the spirit of man. I have been watching for him ever since. In the grip of His grace, Tim |
