21 | Where is the phrase defined? | NT general Archive 1 | serenetime | 39219 | ||
Lovefountain, Could it also be that if one is lost he can found again as in the story of the wayward son? Of course! If Judas was lost, I believe the scriptures say he was found again upon repentance. Do you agree? Satan has not repented. Luke 15:24 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. You Sister in the Living Word of Truth, SERENETIME KJV |

Zach, I don't want to insult anyone, but then again there can be people who claim to be Christians that have no desire to give up certain things. I know for myself I have had some problems in some areas in my own life after being saved in 1986. But professing to be a Christian is not all it takes. I had a hard time giving up some things I knew were contrary to the word of God, but was constantly seeking God's Wisdom and strength to overcome. Alot of us have had this problem, but we should always have a desire to overcome this. We will always be ever confronted with this world and it's evil, but always striving and asking for guidance. But I think in this perticular scripture Jesus is talking to one's that truly have no desire to fully give up the ways of the world, they're straddling the fence. They want the best of both worlds. It has to be of the heart, in that the Father know's our heart and thoughts and desires, and knows if we desire true holiness in serving him. We all struggle, but if our heart is truly right, and we make mistakes we can be forgiven for our mistakes. Praise God for his Mercy!!! Love in the Father's Perfection, Serenetime | ||||||
23 | Is LAST always FINAL | Bible general Archive 1 | serenetime | 34078 | ||
10ECPreacher, I'm confused, there is no John3:37, but regarding what Praisemaster said, I've look up Last in the Greek, and it says for all verses in the NT, it is the same translation for them all. Which means "Further most out". I'm sorry, but there's no getting around this. Look it up. Love in the Living Water, Serenetime | ||||||
24 | Spiritual understanding? | John 4:23 | serenetime | 31260 | ||
Howdy, Matt.7:6-8 Give not which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under feet, and turn again and rend you. 7) Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall findeth; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8) For everyone that asketh recieveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

25 | The wisest man that became a fool? | Proverbs | serenetime | 31258 | ||
Hi to All, Soloman says in Prov.14:33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding; But that which is in the midst of fools is made known. Thanks seanster for your question. Let us never forget that Soloman was still just a man, and that God's wisdom is acquired, but that Soloman knew that he would have to seek Wisdom daily. Serenetime | ||||||
26 | wandering why the forth commandment is | Col 2:16 | serenetime | 31247 | ||
The ten commandements are not the same as statutes and ordinances. Statutes and Ordinances are man made and the Ten Commandments are God given. Jesus says that he didn't come to destroy the law (commandments) but to fulfil, Matt.5:17-19. He never said to do away with the commandments.Oh by the way, why wouldn't we need a rest!

27 | The Massorah? | OT general | serenetime | 31245 | ||
EdB, The Massorah is from the root (masar), so as to commit it to his trust. Hence the name is given to the small writing (Massorah Magna) referred to, because it contains information necessary to those into whose trust the Sacred Text was comitted, so that they might transcribe it, and hand it down correctly. the Text itself had been fixed before the Massorites were put in charge of it. This has been the work of the sopherim (from saphar, to count, or number). their work under Ezra and Nehemiah, was to set the Text in order after the return from Babylon; and we read of it in Neh.8:8, Ezra7:6,11. The men of the Great Synagogue completed the work. This work lasted about 110 years, Nehemiah to Simon the first, 410-300 B.C. The Sopherim were the authorised revisers of the Sacred Text; and their work being completed, the Massorites were the authorised custodians of it. Their work was to preserve it. The Massorah is called "A fence to the scriptures," because it locked all words and letters in their places. It does not contain notes or comments as such, but facts and phenomena. It records the number of times the several letters occur in the various books of the Bible; the number of words, and the middle word; the number of verses, and the middle verse; the number of expressions and combination of words. All this not from a perverted ingenuity, but for the set purpose of safeguarding the Sacred Text, and preventing the loss or misplacement of a single letter or word. This Massorah is not contained in any one Manuscript. No Manuscript, contains the whole, or even the same part. It is spread over many manuscripts, and Dr. C.D. Ginsburg has been the first and only scholar who has set himself to collect and collate the whole, copying from every available in the libraries of many countries. When the Hebrew Text was printed, only the large type in the columns was regarded, and the small type of the Massorah was left unheeded, in the Manuscripts from which the Text was taken. When translators came to the printed Hebrew Text, they were necessarily destitute of the information contained in the Massorah; so as the Revisers as well as the Translators of the Authorised Version carried out their work without any idea of the treasures contained in the Massorah; and therfore, without giving a hint of it to their readers.

29 | The Massorah? | OT general | serenetime | 31140 | ||
Greetings Tim, I have always enjoyed interacting with you. Especially because you have always enlightened me to things that I did not know. The reason has always been for my presence on the forum is for help in understanding of the Father's Word and to uplift and enlighten other's of what I've come to know. Please continue to be a friend that I can always rely on. I have never meant no disrespect to you. And if I have, I am sorry. In the LOVE of the Living Water, Serenetime | ||||||
30 | The Massorah? | OT general | serenetime | 31139 | ||
Looking for Truth, I deeply appreciate your input. I am always open to constructive criticism, if it means that I learn a deeper truth of my Fathers Word. But I feel that sometimes I am put down more than uplifted. I hope to hear from you again soon. Continue to enlighten me if I need so. In the Father's LOVE, Serenetime | ||||||

32 | The Massorah? | OT general | serenetime | 31137 | ||
EdB, OK,so the Geneva Bible was before the KJV. So why don't folks like you use the Geneva bible. Wouldn"t it make sense to do so. Oh, and it's so nice to hear from you. Serenetime | ||||||
33 | The Massorah? | OT general | serenetime | 31060 | ||
Greetings EdB, I appreciate your note, but I believe to the contrary. I do not agree and will not ever agree that the later translation are closer to the original translations of the original dead sea scrolls and others, but thank you for your input, and I feel that what you say doesn't make sense to me. Nowhere has there even a mentioned of the 1611 Version of the King James Bible. Are you even familiar?? In the Love of the Living Water, Serenetime | ||||||
34 | The Massorah? | OT general | serenetime | 31020 | ||
Kalos, You saying I'm bashing, but I say I'm using them as an example. Doesn't it make sense that the earlier the translation of the Bible that it would easier to translate back to the original language which would give a better understanding of the Word? Later translations (I feel, and just my belief) can make it more difficult to go back to the original manuscripts, and therefore if using a much later translation makes it almost impossible to get the full meaning. The NIV, and the Amplified, etc. are fine if one chooses to use them, but I prefer to use the King James Bible, and I'm talking about the 1611 version. I meant no offense toward Tim, but I believe strongly in the Massorah because it's a protecting a wall so to speak of the original manuscripts (languages) and therefore makes it more difficult to mistranslate. Obviously there had to be a reason for the Massorah, because some men, or women would, or could translate the Word incorrectly because let's face it were human. And these translations could of been meant to confuse one intentionally. I'm just being realistic. Oh it could sound better, but some could not getting the full meaning of the Manuscripts and that's my concern, and believe it should be everyone's concern, don't you agree??? Also in the 1611 Version at the beginning of it there is a letter to the reader warning of this very thing I'm speaking of. One should check it out!

35 | The Massorah? | OT general | serenetime | 30728 | ||
Tim, It is so nice to hear from you, but I feel that Your opinion is not worthy unless you can prove it. Even if the massorah was not until the first century, that their are bible translation like the amplified, and the NIV,and so on and so forth that I feel are straying Christians from the true word. Just my opinion. Serenetime | ||||||
36 | What is your opinion of interpretation? | NT general Archive 1 | serenetime | 30726 | ||
christian Marine, I appreciate your input. I agree regarding that the Holy Spirit giving us understanding, but then again we have an opportunity to trace the words of the scriptures back to the original manuscripts, so wouldn't that be benefit t us in interpretaion of scripture? | ||||||
37 | The Forum -- Your Opinion? | Romans | serenetime | 30669 | ||
Hi farout, Yes, their have been many that have touched base with this forum, and like they said previously, some have come and gone, and some have stayed to interact, but I feel that it is so important that we all have an open mind with each other regarding interpretation of scripture. I have experienced some whom that if your interpretation is opposing to some, then it's like an all out war. We may not all agree, but at least if you claim something in the word, then I believe that it can be proven in scripture without all the outside opinions of comentaries and "Oh this is what my Pastor says". Because lets face it, man is not always correct in some cases. I agree that we need to be more spiritual in the way we interact with others, and I am very glad you're here.

38 | Judas went to hell? | NT general Archive 1 | serenetime | 29713 | ||
Love Fountain, Thanks so much for your kind words. I too am so deeply torn in my heart to seek and show the truth of this question of Judas. And the fact that I feel so strongly about this thread and about that have I seen nowhere that anyone has given scripture to back up this belief in Judas damned to hell, and Jesus's disciples getting slack. I'm sorry, but God is no respecter of person's. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Which means that he's always been and felt the same, and nothing has changed. In Heb.13:8(KJV) Jesus Christ, the same yesterday,today, and forever. Heb.13:8 (NIV)Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Acts.10:34 (KJV) Then Peter opened his mouth, and said,"Of a truth I percieve that God is no respecter of person's. Acts.10:34 (NIV)Then Peter began to speak:" I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right. (JUDAS DID COME TO DO WHAT WAS RIGHT) John 10:30 (KJV) I and My Father are One. John 10:30 (NIV) I and the Father are One. Mal.3:6 (kjv) For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Mal. 3:6 (NIV) I the Lord do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. I think it's real interesting that if Jesus, God the Father are one, and God is no respecter of person's (Peter says HE KNOWS it's the truth), and that God and Jesus are the same yesterday, today and forever, and for I am the the Lord, I change not. What is this telling us?? Common sense, the scriptures are not so complex that we can't see the truth for what it is. Everyone else in the Bible gets a break but Judas, right? And he repented and threw the silver back. I mean Judas says "I have betrayed innocent blood". Duh! He was sorrowful. NT tells us that the only sin that is not forgiven is against the Holy Spirit. Matt 12:31,32 (KJV) Wherefore I say unto you, ALL manner of sin and blasphemy SHALL BE FORGIVEN unto men: but the blashemy against the Holy Ghost SHALL NOT be forgiven unto men. 32) And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, IT SHALL BE FORGIVEN HIM, but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Matt. 12:31 (NIV) And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blashemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32) (NIV) Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age, or the age to come. I think these verses SAY IT ALL. Only against the HOLY SPIRIT will it NOT be forgiven. Wouldn't you agree???? Serenetime | ||||||
39 | Sumission to authority? | Heb 13:17 | serenetime | 29699 | ||
Momma, Isn't that intertesting!! The Father is so awesome!!! Just to watch him work!!! Didn't take long. God the Father, in putting you in the same position, allowed you to advice someone else on the same thing. That's so cool!! And in doing so, are you able to see your answer?? It may be short and sweet or a little more of a process. But whatever God wants you to see, it's PERFECT in whatever way it comes. It blows me away how he works, and answers us sometimes. GOD is SO AWESOME. And he didn't waste any time. He was right on time. I'm sorry I hadn't answered you back before today, I've been a little under the weather, but I'M BACK!!!! Please continue to keep me posted, I LOVE to see The FATHER work, and see his Children get blessed. IN THE LIVING WATER, SERENETIME | ||||||

mommapbs, I agree some with the others, but my concern is what some may consider minor may not be minor to someone else. If you study in depth the scriptures there are so many deeper truths that I have never seen or heard anyone teach in a church. I have belonged to a few churches in my day. And have visited a few as well, and I consider that your question deserves concern. Not everyone is in the same place spiritually and in truth I'm sorry to say. Your need for truth and sound doctrine is valuable. Let no one tell you otherwise. Pray earnestly on this. You deserve to be where you agree with the doctrine and teaching. I do believe that you will get your answer soon, because The Father is faihful in that your sincere need for higher truth and deeper depths of the awesome word of God. I know!!!! In Titus 1:8,9,14. regarding teachers of the Word. it says, verse 8) But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; Verse 9) Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort, and to convince the gainsayers (contradicters). verse 14) Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn from the truth. Regarding Studying, 1Tim.2:15, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that need not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. "Study" means in the original greek-to be diligent, labour, forwardness, earnestly. Rightly dividing- dissect (expound) correctly (the divine) message. responsibility of teachers, and Preachers Col.1:28, Whom we preach warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdon; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. Warning- to put in mind, to caution or reprove, gently admonish. Wisdom- (worldly or spiritually) clear, cautious, thoughtful, sagaious. Perfect- labour, growth in moral or mental character, completeness, of full age. Your salvation, and correct teaching in the fullness of truth is IMPORTANT!! I truly would like you to keep in touch on the forum, and let me know how it's going, ok?? Love in the Truth of the Living Water, SERENETIME | ||||||
