Thanks! I'll check into it! | ||||||

Thanks! I look forward to seeing it! | ||||||

Tim, I got the impression that the writer of the thesis was claiming that Jesus was using the Hebrew (vs. Aramaic?) alphabet and not the Greek (alpha and omega). |

24 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | djconklin | 31920 | ||
You didn't read closely what I wrote--note the word "if". If one lacks faith then one isn't a believer right? Whatever is not of faith is sin? From what we are given in the account there were only two swords amongst all of the 12 disciples. |

Is there anyway to get a complete copy of the thesis? BTW, there is no doubt that Jesus and John would not or could not have known koine Greek and thus it is highly possible that Jesus did say that He was the alpha and the omega. I'll read the rest after I have had some sleep! |

26 | Dietary value of dietary laws? | Leviticus | djconklin | 31877 | ||
Even if pigs are thoroughly cooked that simply means that one is eating the cooked trichinosis worm, the cysts of the young and does not deal with any of the other problems with eating pork (btw, I used to love pork chops!). A search of the web will reveal a large number of sources as to the medical value of following the dietary laws of the Bible. A local Christian church that does keep them converted a Jew who was in bad health because he was not following the health laws of the Bible and they pointed that out to him that that was the cause of his ill health--he became intirgued and converted to Christianity. | ||||||
27 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | djconklin | 31876 | ||
"I will remain adamant, however, that our Lord would not, and even could not, advocate the sin of breaking both the 6th and the 8th commandments in the taking of "necessities" by force with a sword." Jesus wasn't advocating anything like that. Unfortunately, the disciples (as usual) misinterpreted what He meant. The passage has nothing to do with self-defense and given that the disciples split up sometime after the Ascension 2 sowrds would hardly have afforded adequate protection against anyone who was deteremined to rob or attack any of them--note that virtually all labor back then (except for Luke the physician and Matthew the tax collector) was manual labor--so virtually all males were phiscally fit (no couch potatoes!) |

If they were 12 "strong men" with two swords then why would they hide as they did after the death of Jesus? The Zealots were much better armed and they took on the Romans. Given the context about going out and being supplied by faith divine grace woould provide them with the necessary provisions it is far more likely that Jesus was basically saying that if you don't have faith then with the sword you could take what ever you thought you would need. I forget which commentary I read that in. Perhaps if you looked you'd find it (I just got up from a half sleep after a 16 hour shift so I'm still brain-dead here.). | ||||||
29 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | djconklin | 31366 | ||
Think about it: how could two swords (whatever length) be enough for 12 disciples? And what would they be used for? | ||||||
30 | wandering why the forth commandment is | Col 2:16 | djconklin | 31267 | ||
Excellant texts kalos! I wonder what God will say to those who so quickly despise them and cast them aside? |
||||||
31 | Greek has no "first day" in its text? | Luke 24:1 | djconklin | 31237 | ||
"mia ton sabbaton" means "first (after) the sabbath". That is how they designated the first day of the week. | ||||||
32 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | djconklin | 30941 | ||
In context, Jesus was telling his disciples that if they lacked faith in His ability to provide for their needs then they should buy a sword and thus use it to take what they needed--note that none of them ever did such a thing. | ||||||
33 | What about those who never heard of JC ? | Bible general Archive 1 | djconklin | 30937 | ||
The only way people can and will be saved is through Jesus Christ. That is the message of Scripture. The Bible does not attribute any magical properties to the name of Jesus. On your next trip to the library do a search for the book entitled Through No Fault of Their Own? I highly recommend that everyone read it. | ||||||
34 | What?!? | 1 Tim 2:14 | djconklin | 30074 | ||
Tim, I must confess that since I have put some more thought into it I'm going to have to back off accepting your version of what is being said. This is because it basically ignores what the text says. Paul's point seems to be on who knew what when being tempted. BTW, thanks for the kind spirit of your responses--it is a real breath of fresh air! |
||||||
35 | What?!? | 1 Tim 2:14 | djconklin | 29963 | ||
Tim, I wouldn't say that "help-meet" implies inferiority in any sense of the word. It interesting to note, as you have, that the same word to describe Eve is also used to describe God. I think I can agree with you summation; I just wish that Paul; had been more clear. From what I have read by many scholars when they looked at this verse and its surrrounding context they were certainly confused and gave very unclear counsel in regards to it all. |
||||||
36 | What?!? | 1 Tim 2:14 | djconklin | 29859 | ||
Tim, Thanks for your comments. A couple of clarifications: Eve is according to the Hebrew an "helpmeet" not an "equal power". While there is evidence of women being prophets within the early church, witnessing to others and being deaconesses (our word) there is no evidence of any woman having a leadership role in ministry. You are somewhat correct about the word "authentien" (from which we get our word 'authentic", btw); it means "to usurp authority"--how the KJV translators knew that is a bit os a mystery. The problem I have with this partiucular verse is that on the face of it man should be the last one trusted since he knew he was wrong whereas Eve was at least deceived. A thought that just came to me is that perhaps we need to look at what Paul is not saying (i.e., that what we have is an argument in capsule form here.). If Adam had exercised his leadership role then Eve would not have been deceived and there would have been no sin in the first place. |

38 | why study Romans? | Romans | djconklin | 28961 | ||
Intro to my sermon on Romans Why study the book of Romans? Well, to begin with it is like when Sir Edmund Hillary was asked why did he climb Mt. Everest? His answer was, "Because it is there." Even better for us is that the study of the book of Romans has been the cause of every great revival in the history of the Christian church.(1) At home I have 6 different Bible studies that various organizations have prepared for group and individual study. Could it be that by these God is preparing His people for a revival in these last days and preparing His people for His soon coming by leading them to study the book of Romans? Secondly, it has been suggested that "the thorough study of the Epistle is really a theological education in itself. ... The more it is studied, ..., the more it will be seen that it is of the very highest value for Christian doctrine."(2) A third reason for studying the book of Romans is that "the more the spiritual life is allowed to ponder [these] words the stronger will be its fibre and force."(3) "[A] Christian life nourished on the Epistle to the Romans will never lack the three great [essentials for a Christ-like life]: clear perception, strong conviction, and definite usefulness."(4) Which we could all use, need, and want, right? If you want to get the maximum benefit from a study of the book of Romans it is suggested that you do several things. First, read the entire book through in one sitting in a revised edition. And then read it once a day for a month. "At first there is no need to try to study it deeply, but simply read it through with care and attention ... Gradually the mind will become accustomed to its teaching and gain a general impression of its contents and meaning."(5) Finally, and most importantly, it "should be studied with earnest prayer and personal trust. Intellectual attention alone is insufficient. ... Its deepest secrets will only be revealed to the heart that is willing to submit to its teaching and translate it into action."(6) We should determine within ourselves that we will "study it carefully and obediently" to read it "with diligence and attention."(7) And as has been said: "Access to the in[ner]most sanctuary of Holy Scripture is granted only to those who come to worship."(8) 1) Thomas, W.

Joe, Good thing I didn't say that it was an exegesis, eh? There's a lot of nonsense out on the web. Some of which most people don't even note. The more it is exposed the less likely it will infect others. Thanks for your remarks. |

40 | the Christology of 2 Peter | 2 Pet 1:1 | djconklin | 28765 | ||
The Christology of 2 Peter is very exalted. The author calls Jesus God and speaks of his divine power. He uses the title ‘Lord’ both for Jesus and for God; in the latter cases there is usually some ambiguity about which of them is meant. However, the author presents God as a person distinct from Jesus, and there is no suggestion that the author would affirm the existence of two Gods. The transfiguration revealed Jesus as the son of God. It may be understood as an epiphany of the divine Jesus. It was a moment when Jesus received glory from God, in virtue of which he is praised like God. 2 Peter reflects a stage in early Christian thinking when the word ‘god’ was used in two ways. Usually it was a proper noun that designated the one who revealed himself in the Hebrew scriptures. Occasionally it was used as a common noun that designated those who belonged to the category of the divine. In this way 2 Peter can call Jesus God without either identifying Jesus with God or seriously affirming the existence of two Gods. Eventually these uses were related in the doctrine of the Trinity. synopsis of the article |
