21 | motive or love? | 1 Cor 13:1 | Shythiyl | 167619 | ||
Are we really to have motive? Motive is something (as a need or desire) that causes a person to act. I should think that love itself is motive. Without love, religion is worthless. I think you may be asking is a Christian supposed to have a reason to love. We love because we are loved. Not that we are nessisarily loved by those we are to love, but because God first loved us. We are no more deserving of the love of God, than the most vile and wretched individual we are to love. It is hard for us to love those whom we dislike. We are not asked to love their ways, only the person. God loves the sinner, not the sin. Jesus did not come for the sake of the saved, but the unsaved. Nowhere does scripture say that it is easy to be a Christian. The world hated Jesus. It will also hate us, but we are not of the world. |

24 | ... | John 1:1 | Shythiyl | 166868 | ||
Quoting Kalos "Every translation contains verses that are at least somewhat mistranslated. In my study and teaching, I use several of the different translations in addition to studying the original languages. By comparing and contrasting the different translations, it is often easier to get a good grasp on what the verse is saying than by only using one translation. My loyalty is not to any one English translation, but --- to the inspired, inerrant Word of God that is communicated by the Holy Spirit --- through the translations (2Timothy 3:16-17).'" And we MUST preach and teach this method, or Satan will use the confusion to his advantage. Again, find a bible you are comfortable with. If you diligently seek Gods truth, there hundreds of translations thereof which will attest to the fact that The Holy Spirit will lead you. "If they are not against us, they are for us..." Kalos, dear brother, if I were half as learned as you, Doc and Tim, I would be twice as as smart as I am. .... perhaps one day. |

26 | ... | John 1:1 | Shythiyl | 166866 | ||
Doc, dear brother, your words are wise, but though I am not always successful, and at a loss without a good spell checker and dictionary, I make every attempt to use words in in their truest of meaning, and I stick by my original statement. that "God is able to inspire (to influence, move, or guide by divine or supernatural inspiration,) even modern day translations of His originally inspired (breathed) word." How else could it have been preserved even up to 1611. Surely not by the will of carnal man. Definition provided per Merriam Webster. It even gave me the meaning of the word heterodoxical. "contrary to or different from an acknowledged standard, a traditional form, or an established religion." Could Martin Luther have been considered heterodoxus? Could the Church not benifit from one who posesses "some" of his attributes today? Is it heresy to make a statement which is contrary to or different from an acknowledged standard? I think not, as long as it is within scriptural boundries. |

Have you considered letting the Holy Spirit do his job? As I stated, find a version you are comfortable with. You are searching for purity of Gods Word. That Word is The Living Word. It is alive and well. It will find those who diligently seek it. KJ has been around longer than most translations. I, personally rely heavily on it, but have determined that even some of its translations are less than what I consider perfect. God inspired (breathed) His Word. Do you think He is incapiable of inspiring modern day translations? One has to have a starting place. Something on which to base a foundation. Let that be your faith that He is ALL Capiable. There are many good translations. You are looking for a "literal" translation. Like myself, you probably wouldn't understand it if you found one. Some claim to be, and are more literal than others, but only the original transcripts are perfect. Don't let Satan use the fact that there are so many translations of Gods Word, to his advantage. The disciples once asked Jesus if they should rebuke others for teaching because they were not doing so in the same manner as they. He responded, "Are they teaching against us?" When they said no, His response was "Then they are for us." |

29 | thats how i understand in Ephesians | Judg 16:5 | Shythiyl | 166812 | ||
What grieves the Lord today is the lost, and those who so proudly talk the talk, yet fail to walk the walk, resulting in many remaining lost, when they could have been guided to the path of salvation. | ||||||
30 | money | Matt 6:24 | Shythiyl | 166811 | ||
If by money, you mean wealth, which relates to the same thing, consider the following. Matthew 6:24; Luke 16:9, 11, 13; The word "mammon" In KJ, means wealth. |

31 | trying to understand the bible better | Judg 16:5 | Shythiyl | 166755 | ||
As to your question concerning Sampsons, "bride to be" wasn't it? It's been a long time since I read it and I don't remember him actually marrying her. But either way, it would appear that Delilah posessed what many women today posess in excess; the ability to entice man. Scripture itself explains Delilah's manipulative manner. So... What more can be said. I fail to understand your question. What I really don't understand is why Sampson was so gulliable as to give her what she wanted after what happened the first and second time he teased her with his untrue answers. Now that is a lesson men SHOULD learn from. Stupid! comes to mind. Stupidity never ceses to amaze me. Particularily when it is my own. |

32 | ... | John 1:1 | Shythiyl | 166752 | ||
Dear soul, you are experiencing the very same trials I experirnced in the beginning of my walk. Keep in mind, scripture states that if you ask, you will recieve. If it pertains to anything, this most assuredly pertains to the understanding of His word; our owners manual; Gods instruction manual for His creation. I have a number of translations. If you are a new, young Christian, or sinner wanting to learn His truth for yourself, I would recommend that you find a single translation which you are most comfortanle with, then research what you may not understand by reading how others translate a particular passage. Keep in mind that though they are not all worded exactly the same, all "good" translations will agree with one another. As an example, though the words children and sons mean different things in our language, where King James translates the Greek word as "sons," the NIV, (in my view) more accurately translates it as "children." In essence, the particular Greek word can be translated either way. KJ also translates the Greek word to seats, where NIV translates thrones, (or is it visa versa?) Anyway, they are both where someone rests their butt. The context in this particular passage in Revelation, would lead one to believe that it wouldn't be a royal butt; more than likely just a regular butt like yours or mine. I don't know about you, but it is doubtful that mine will ever rest on a throne. Big deal. The Greek word can be translated either way. The spirit will lead you if your faith and determination (perseverence) is there. God Bless |

33 | Destressing | Bible general Archive 3 | Shythiyl | 166750 | ||
It seems there is a label for everything today, right on down to the way one believes. You are a this-ist or that-ist. I am a scripturalist. Many call me a Calvinist, yet I disagree with much old Johnny boy wrote. I can't help it if J. Calvin read the same scriptures as I, and came to many of the same conclusions. There is much which man calls sin, which scripture does not label as such. Likewise, there is much which scripture clearly depicts as sin, yet man refuses to see it that way. Man was created by God, and though it was dirrected to the Jews, God said that he would write his laws on our hearts and inner parts. I believe you Kalos, have read His thoughts, not only from His word, but from your heart and inner parts. I could hardly care less what "they say." What they say is rarely worth the paper it is written on. It is utterly worthless, if it isn't in line with what He said. They say "drinking is sin." What does scripture say? They say "this or that is sin." What does scripture say? An illiterate nation depends on a literate preacher. A literate nation has, not only preachers of Gods word, but they have the very word of God at their own disposal. What is their excuse? Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever |

35 | Is Satan in heaven or on earth right now | Eph 6:12 | Shythiyl | 166746 | ||
Well, he most assuredly is not in heaven. I believe he is accoustomed to a much hotter climate, and God has no desire for his company, but is Satan on earth? I think not. Physically anyway. His influences most assuredly are though. I can't think of any, but I would like to see if any can provide scripture contrary to my statement. |

I am sure that if it didn't contain the comlete text of each of the four versions, it would say so somewhere in the preface. If you are wanting to understand the Word or verify the validity of translation, the best thing to do is get you a Hebrew, Greek, English Interlinear translation, and compair your parallels to the translations under the original scrolls. Get a regular Bible. KJ, NIV, NASB, Amplified or whatever. Check out how many books and chapters in each book yours has compaired to it. Boy!!! I'd bet that you either have good eye sight, or a good magnifying glass, (for that parallel has to either be mighty big, or have very small print.) I have a parallel KJ and NIV. It's print is only adequate. The best parallel anything I have ever seen will, without a doubt, cost less than what you paid and have numerous more versions. It is eSword. It is to scripture, what Windows is to the computer. AND IT IS FREE FOR THE DOWNLOAD at esword.com. There are some, such as the NASB which cost, but dozens of other translations, along with dictionaries and numerous commentaries, which are absolutely free. I have seen software programs which weren't nearly as good, for hundreds of dollars. It's search engine is awsome. For some reason, I feel I haven't, but I hope I have helped. |

37 | Elusive Verse | 1 Cor 12:27 | Shythiyl | 166742 | ||
Well, I've never heard it put quite like that, but I guess it could be. You must be refering to the feference to the Church as the body of Christ. 1Co 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. The Amplified bible (see verse above post) puts it quiet clearly Also check out Romans 7:4; 1 Corinthians 10:16; 12:27; Ephesians 4:12; When I see two Christians bickering, I often picture the hand slaping the foot because it is uglier, or the fingers lower rating the toes for being short and stubby. |

38 | dwelling in unclean temple? | 1 Cor 3:16 | Shythiyl | 166685 | ||
Nowhere, in those particular words. 1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? God does not dwell in the sinner. The blood of Jesus has cleansed the believers temple. Act 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, Hope I have been of some help. |
||||||
39 | Equal with Jesus? | Matt 12:50 | Shythiyl | 166457 | ||
Someone has misunderstood scripture. The Church is the body of Christ. He is the head. To be equal to Jesus would be, to be able to get along without Him. Can the hand replace the head? I think not. No doubt, some doctrines may teach such, but such teaching is straight from the mouth of the enemy. It sounds like "Secular Humanism." I can't remember where, But I seem to remember Jesus stating "I no longer call you servants, but brothers." Perhaps this is where such a mistaken statement came from. |

40 | Would God ever accept a 2nd marriage? | Eph 1:7 | Shythiyl | 166329 | ||
Why would He not accept a second marriage? Anyone who thinks He would, Christian or otherwise would be well advised to know what His Word states concerning the matter. He IS a God of love and second chances, but He is also a just God, and he gave us His word which leaves no room for rationalization on this, and many other matters of such importance. Such a topic, is a touchy one. One which is close to the heart of everyone, but a Christian should be bound by His Living Word, not the feelings of their heart. No doubt, many will say it does not pertain, but though I can't currently recall where, I do remember an instance in the OT where many of the Nation Israel had married outside their people, and they were ordered to divorce or leave. One rationalised, and lost his life, if I am not mistaken. I am sure someone can point out the passages to which I refer, and refrain from voicing "opinion" on the matter, by simply presenting what Gods word states. Scripturally, there are 3 escapes from marriage. (1) Spousal death. (2) Spousal unfaithfulness. And (3), An unequally yoked marriage in which the unbeliever leaves the believer. Rationalixing the matter, will fool only the rationalizers. It will not change the Word of God. Nor will it excuse the ignorant believer, which leads to my final coment on the matter. Mat 5:19 "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." |
