21 | ...liars, shall have their part in.... | 1 Sam 21:1 | compudex | 102305 | ||
Hello GeoJoy, "Yet there are occurrences therein where the individual tells “what appears” to be a blatant lie, and is either blessed for the action, or there is simply no more mention of it." Lies have been contended with great force in other places. Consider, Acts 5:4, the account of Ananias and Sapphira. They lied and when they were confronted with it, that very moment, they died. Look at the company that God associates liars with: the fearful, and unbelieving, the abominable, murderers, whoremongers, sorcerers and idolaters. It is a heavy thing that the Lord has said! I can picture His associations, that very act of lying is what turned His first creation away from Him. Taking that perfect companionship away. Note: 1 Sam 21 "he pretended he was upon a secret expedition, by the order of Saul, which none were to know of, no, not his own servants, and that was the reason why he came to him alone; which was a downright lie, and was aggravated by its being told only for the sake of getting a little food; and especially told to an high priest, and at the tabernacle of God, and when he was come to inquire of the Lord there; and was attended with a dreadful consequence, the slaughter of the Lord's priests there, which afterwards lay heavy on David's mind, 1Sa 22:22; and is the very sin he is thought to refer to in Psa 119:28. This shows the weakness of the best of men, when left to themselves; David who as much hated lying as any man did, fell into it himself: " (J. Gill) Peace to you! |

Hi George, Exo 1:16 "When you do the office..." - WHEN Exo 1:16 "...and see them upon the stools..." - when the baby breaches. Because they feared God they may have just not "done their office". Thereby saving the children. "for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them." They waited until the birthing was over. The women weren't puny like the Egyptians and could birth without the midwives being there. A slap to the face of the king. Thus the blessing of the Lord. It doesn't say that they lied. Peace! |

23 | ...liars, shall have their part in.... | 1 Sam 21:1 | compudex | 102334 | ||
Then I am at a loss why God would bless them. It is not out of the will of God to defy a king that wants them to commit murder. I should drop dead right now if I knowingly Play with the Word of God. "Scripture teaches the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." Yes, and that is why this forum is here. So we can share and learn from one another. Peace to you! |

Hi, Ray: How are you comparing these two scriptures? What are you getting out of them that shows their connection? John 9:29 is the Pharisees talking with the ex-blind man. Luke 13:27 is Jesus talking about those that claim to know Him. Although both instances have to do with hypocrites. |
||||||
28 | Spirit or spirit? | Prov 5:21 | compudex | 101415 | ||
Hi Ray, I don't know for sure if this is what you are looking for. John 7:27 The people and Pharisees knew Him as Jesus of Nazareth, son of Joseph and Mary, not as Christ, Son of God. The phrase, "but when Christ cometh..." , shows that they did not believe that He was the Messiah. And that no man knew where the Christ was coming from. (even though it was described perfectly by the prophets of old). John 6:42 They were quoting Jesus here. John 9:29 Let's start at John 9:27 - if I tell you again will you be his disciples? Now this is where the pompous and arrogant attitude comes in. John 9:28 "Thou art his disciple; but WE are Moses' disciples." (I'm better than you attitude) John 9:29 (with attitude) We know Moses, not this guy. (paraphrased) And their attitude reached its climax in John 9:34, You sinner, how dare you teach us, WE being men of the cloth.(paraphrased) John 6:45 Quoted from the old testament : All be taught but not all will accept it or stay with it. As the children of Israel are proof of in the wilderness. 1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Peace! |

Again I find that on this forum people can't stick to their own subject without preaching. The original request was the comparing of scripture. Now you have turned it into a debate. Which do you choose? Plus, you have taken my words out of context. And you twisted my statement. I said, "I don't know for sure if this is what you are looking for." My statement had to do with the verses I listed in my last response to you. About the the (Man) and the (I) and the (He). You state you want to be His disciple. Well, what is holding you back? Peace! |

Hi Ray, There is no contention here on my part. Writing posts and answers to some of the question on this forum, and with my limited ability as an orator, sometimes, is hard to convey the intent of thought. By the time the thought gets from the brain, out the finger tips and to the keyboard, some things get lost. I even flucked English in high school once. But, the Lord has been patient with me. In wanting to be His disciple, I would say, our passions will be realized as we grow. As a man sows, so shall he reap. Ah, now I'm preaching. :-) Peace to you! |

Well, thanks for the A on my English. I did much better in college. Concering what you wrote: Matthew 13:54 "And coming to His home town...". That is the problem right there. They knew (H)im as (h)im, Jesus, son of Joseph and Mary. They watched him grow up. They watched him do the daily chores of living in a small town. They knew he was a good kid (no disrespect intended) and did what his 'father', Joseph, told him to do, but that is how they thought of him. Not as (H)im. To capitalize the words within the quotes of the townspeople would not be proper; grammatically, because it is a quote. That would be a misquote. Furthermore, it changes the meaning of what is conveyed by their conversation. Yes, He was a prophet in His home town, but to the people, He was just the man next door. (small m) Were they being taught of God? Yes, for He is God, but they did not know that. They have eyes and cannot see, ears and cannot hear. SCRIBES - The more highly esteemed the Law became in the eyes of the people, the more its study and interpretation became a lifework by itself, and thus there developed a class of scholars who, though not priests, devoted themselves only to the Law. We have a saying today, "The letter of the law kills". I wonder where that came from? All they knew was the letter of the law. I don't see anywhere in the Gospels where they (Pharisees) preached about the love of God or any rememberance of the kindness He showed to them in the wilderness or how, by His love for them, He delivered them from Egypt. A far cry from the psalmist David, a repenter. I would be careful in changing the meaning of the Scriptures. Something to keep in the back of your head also is that these people had been without a prophet for 400 years. Just look at what has happened in our nation in just 200 years. Where will it be in another 200 years if the Lord tarries? My, my!! |

Part 1: Hi Ray, I don't know how many versions of the Bible you have so I have included 7 versions (Part 2). It is interesting to note that some of them don't even capitalize the first letter of the sentence. I do agree they were taking offense of Christ (H)im. And since the incident took place inside the synagogue, more than likely, those who spoke out, where the elders. Because they had a heritage, or lineage, inside the synagogue, being Rabbis. Jesus stood up and started teaching. How dare he speak to these people in this manner, he is only a peasant. Exactly, they took offense to (H)im. Verse 58 says "their unbelief" would be the clue to the foregoing theme to be conveyed. Also, if we capitalize son as in "carpenter's Son", then we would be inferring deity to the carpenter. Maybe it is that not all translators are lead by the Spirit! I personally take offense of the NASB for twisting quotes! Ray, I am no scholar, but I have been told the some of the original languages didn't even have capital letters in their abc's. Most of the capitalization of the Scriptures came from inference of meaning. I really cannot say if this is true because I can only read English, sometimes :-). Indeed, He was a Prophet in His home town! And they did take offense of Him! I also have a copy of the Greek New Testament, but it does not translate on this web site because the text box will not accept that kind of font. If you would like I can email these verses to you. Maybe you know someone that can read it. I don't know anyone. BTW: The best Bible program I have found with as many versions, commentaries and dictionaries you want for free. Very, very good! God bless them for not making a profit upon God's Word! http://www.e-sword.net |

Hi Ray, The website I told you about does not have that particular version (NKJ) that integrates with my program. And I do not have a hard copy of it either. That is why it was not included. My hard copy is the The New Chain Reference Bible by Thompson, KJV 1611. But, now I have to go and help my neighbor for the afternoon, as it is 1:30 here in Arizona. I will get back with you later this evening, probably late. Lord willing! Peace! |

Hi Ray, Yes, I agree that diety should be capitalized. But, BUT, you CAN NOT change quotes! Jesus was not the Son of Mary, He was the son of Mary. The inference is a man talking about a man. Not a man talking about God. He, Jesus, was his neighbor as far as he knew. You CANNOT change what others say! Pretend, just pretend, you grew up with Jesus in the same neighborhood. You and he went for walks. You went to get water together. Now He preaches in the synagogue. What do you say? Isn't this the guy I fetched water with? Not isn't ths the Guy I fetched water with. You are adding diety to where these people didn't know He was diety. If you capitalize these words then it shows that they knew exactly who He was, and they didn't. He was the guy next door! Honestly, Ray, I think you are missing the context of the Scriptures. You know He is diety and I know He is diety but they didn't. And that is why WITHIN the quotes He is he, Son is son. You have to put these things in context as to who is speaking. I don't want to be rude Ray, but I think you are beating a dead horse. I still do not like how the NSAB has re-written these passages. BTW: The Living Bible, if you have one, check to see if they translated "virgin" (Mary, mother of Jesus) to a young woman. Now there is a piece of work. Peace to you! |

37 | Spirit or spirit? | Prov 5:21 | compudex | 101802 | ||
Good, you caught it. "Now He preaches in the synagogue". Shouldn't that be he. Because in the pretend story I knew him, not as Him. Did Peter deny "Me" or "me"? Both. Peter denied Christ (Me) to himself. But to the his accusers, Peter denied the man. If Peter's accusers were followers of Jesus, Peter would have no cause to fear his association with Jesus. If the accusers were followers of Christ, the accusations would never have come. The accusation to Peter was, "You are one of this man's followers, this man ...this man that calls himself the Messiah. This man that our courts have found guilty of blasphemy. You are an accessory to his sedition." Thus the swearing comes forth from Peter's mouth, the cursing, trying to save his own skin. If Peter had conveyed the idea of Man rather than man the crowd, no doubt, would have stoned him. Yes, to himself, Peter denied the Man. The bitter weeping shows us that. But, to the crowd, he denied the man, for the crowd did not know the Man. As far as Jesus' words, ..."you will deny me...", now this is a different story. Was Jesus telling Peter that he was going to deny the divine Me or the human me? Yes, both. To himself, the Man and the man. To the crowd, the Man and the man. How bitter that weeping must have been. Picture the convulsions of Peter's body, hard to breath, eye lids smashed shut with grief, the tears and his runny nose gushing like water from a broken damn, unable to even stand and when falling to the ground, not even feeling it because of the guilt that now wrenches his aching body. To have been with the King of the universe for three years. To have been chosen by the Majesty on High to be the rock of His church. ... And I turned my back on Him. Oh, death were are you? Do what you will with the capitalization Ray. Peace to you! |

Hello Ray, "In your pretend story, if you knew that He [sic] preaches in the synagogue, that is, you are being taught of God, can we agree that it is the same Person that you fetched water with?" Ah - that is the whole point, did THEY know they were being taught by God? "My question for you is, would you "count" the word carpenter's "son" as a word that is talking about Christ?" Yes, to us, because we know the ending to the story. But if we were back there in the synagogue with these men, no. He was just a man. The neighbor's boy. It is good to study. But put the pronouns in the context of time and who is speaking. It was a historical event. You can't change history. Peace to you! |
||||||
39 | Spirit or spirit? | Prov 5:21 | compudex | 101926 | ||
Greetings! The points Ray puts across are very directed. And I understand his desire to give all the glory to Jesus. But I cannot understand this drive for pronouns. If he continues repling to me perhaps I will be able to get a clearer picture of what he is actually trying to accomplish. Peace to you! |

Hello brother, You said: But you would say that THEY would say as did the scribes, Matthew 9:3, "And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This fellow blasphemes." Yes. You said: But I would say as does the NKJ, "And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, "This Man blasphemes." If this was correct you would also have to capitalize "fellow". (1Co 1:12) Now this I mean, that each one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos: and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. (1Co 1:13) Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul? In context they were saying that our group is better than yours. It was a vanity thing. Like today, "Well, I belong to the Baptist Church." "Well, we belong to the Church of Christ". "Well, we belong to the Full Gospel Church". In otherwords it is called PRIDE. It didn't have anything to do with a man, per say. It was a congregational thing. Thinking that one is better than the other. And Paul was telling them, "Hey, you guys, it doesn't matter who baptized you. You were baptized into the body of Christ and He is one. Why are you causing all this strife? Is this how we should conduct ourselves? Get your act together and preach Christ only!" NOTE: It should be noted for this forum the above mentioned churches are used here only for reference as to context of this thread and is not to be construded that there is one that is preferred over the other. You say: Can we divide God on the pages of Scripture and say, here he is a man, and here he is the Man? I say in Spirit No, but in contexual transmission of thought, Yes. Just as Pilate's change of thought about Christ: KJV: (Joh 19:5) .... And Pilate saith unto them, Behold, the man! This conveys that Jesus was just like any other human. KJV: (Joh 19:14) .... And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, your King! This conveys that Jesus was who He said He was. NOTE: Personaly, I believe Pilate was then converted. The versions of the Bible do vary and it is good to view these things. I told you before the Living Bible reduces the virgin Mary, to just a young woman. For the phrase, "young woman" does not mean she was a virgin. Thereby taking away from the meaning that Jesus was divine. Ray, are we trying to convert each other? I accepted Jesus as my saviour 10/22/72. Baptized 10/29/72 at the Full Gospel Lighthouse in Oak View, CA Baptized into one body! Now a resident of Tucson, AZ Read my bio if you like. Peace to you! |
