21 | TRUE HEART OF WORSHIP | Bible general Archive 4 | keliy | 212745 | ||
Thanks again Doc, for the embellishment. I agree with you in that God is providing us with the worship, He is the author and is our all in all. Your words reminded me of a study on the Lord's prayer, as to the beginning where it says, "hallowed be thy name". This means that God's name is hallowed, with or without any effort on our part, because there is nothing that we can add to the word 'be'. And we are not righteous enough to improve any of God's attributes. Amen. keliy |

Hi Val, Yes contrition is certainly true to the heart, but if I may suggest, brokenness brings to my mind penitence, such as Psalm 51. Of course, that is also a very authentic form of worship. Blessings, keliy |

23 | Why was John the baptist so important? | Bible general Archive 4 | keliy | 212922 | ||
John the Baptist came to announce the coming of our Lord, and God saw fit to use Isaiah to deliver His prophetic words years earlier, in order to show that this was truly from God, as no man could have choreographed such a scenario. Think of John as our heavenly Father "rolling out a red carpet" for His Son, the Savior of the world -John faithfully bore witness that Jesus “is the Son of God” (Jn. 1:34). John was not just another illustration of God's step-by-step Plan. Because he was not only a prophet, but was also the fulfillment of prophecy. Isaiah spoke of John over 700 years earlier, see (Isaiah 40:3-5) - The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of the LORD; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth; The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken." And, In the last book of the Old Testament, Malachi prophesied: “Behold, I send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, who ye seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the Messenger of the covenant, whom ye desire, behold, he comes, saith Jehovah” (3:1). The work of John the Baptist became so popular that many wondered if He was the Messiah, to which he answered, "I am not the Christ, but I am sent ahead of Him." (John 3:28). As the ministry of Jesus Christ began, John recognized that his own mission was nearing its end: "He must become greater; I must become less." (John 3:30) He was imprisoned after his admonishment of King Herod and was beheaded at Machaerus, a fortress about 9 miles (15 kilometers) east of the Dead Sea. After he was killed, John's disciples came and buried his body, and then went and told Jesus all that had happened (Matthew 14:12). Jesus responded to the news of John's death by saying, "John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light." (John 5:35) |

Hello Allen, Here is an interesting passage for your consideration, as well as other members. Daniel's dream of four beasts. (7:3-7) The first, as I have heard from one interpretation, is the lion, national symbol of Britain. ( This was during a recent time of Bush and Blair's newsworthy alliance.) The wings of an eagle were said to be from the national bird of the U.S. The bear, was said to be Russia, and the leopard was left undescribed, which I later presumed to be Africa. Again, this is for consideration, I am not trying to draw any parallels that were not meant to be there. Here is the passage: Dan 7:3) "And four great beasts were coming up from the sea, different from one another. Dan 7:4) "The first was like a lion and had the wings of an eagle. I kept looking until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man; a human mind also was given to it. Dan 7:5) "And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and thus they said to it, 'Arise, devour much meat!' Dan 7:6) "After this I kept looking, and behold, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird; the beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it. Dan 7:7) "After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong; and it had large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. blessings, keliy |

May I suggest you look into: Literal Translation of the Holy Bible - LITV -This is another 'translation' that aims for accuracy, but it also leaves much interpretation up to the reader. This is why it is always best to pray before we read the Bible. The argument of which ancient manuscript is superior is in itself an ancient argument. Primarily, we have two sources of documents to choose from when we attempt to translate from the original manuscripts. There are Alexandrian texts and Byzantine texts. Each have their own set of followers, (called 'prioritists') with their own justifications for their loyalties. One side goes with the case of majority (sheer number of documents in existence), and the other side proclaims age is the factor, (since 'theirs' was on the scene first.) The argument that the original manuscripts are without error is a moot point, since there are simply no original manuscripts in existence today Both sets of documents have errors, however. Yet many of these can be corrected by lining up with the 'other' set of documents. The argument needs to be studied at great length and is referred to as, Westcott and Hort vs. Textus Receptus. Which is Superior? That is up to personal preference, but myself, I think that they support each other and neither one is perfect. May our Lord Bless you in your search for His truth. keliy |

29 | What translation do you use? | Bible general Archive 4 | keliy | 213367 | ||
Hi fcs375 I actually use several different translations. It has been said that the best translation for you is the one that you will read. I prefer to use Study Bibles, and I have a Ryrie Study Bible in KJV from Moody Press, also, a Personal Study Bible in NKJV from Nelson Publishing' also, a Life Application Study Bible in NIV from Tyndale. I use these interchangeagably, and I also use one periodically, -more because I like the vocabulary usage and that is the St Joseph's edition of the catholic Bible. (this one puts a smile on my devout mother's face (o: I keep on hand a CBD Parallel Bible which was very reasonable and contains 4 translations: KJV, NKJV, NIV, and NLT. NLT is a very good one to look at if you prefer more of a thought-for-thought translation, than a word-for-word translation. This one I think is more near a 9th grade reading level, where the St. Joseph's one may be closer to a 13th grade level. Having said all that, whichever translation you choose to accept for personal reading, I would like to suggest to you that you pick up a "Knowing Jesus Study Bible" from Zondervan. It is a 1-Year Study of Jesus in Every Book of the Bible. There are 365 full page insights into the person and work of Jesus. And hundreds of study notes within the text. This is also available in a number of translations. When I was first saved, I read two Bibles together. I had a KJV and a Good News Bible. I read each passage in both versions and then wrote down what the words meant to me. This really opened up my mind to the leading of the Holy Spirit. It is less important which words the translators use, if you pray and ask God for wisdom before you read. Remember, the original words were inspired to the authors by the Holy Spirit. This is what God would want for you as well. Lord Bless, keliy And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: (Deu 6:6) |

31 | Class on historical background. | Bible general Archive 4 | keliy | 214248 | ||
Hi MJH Just to share something that I found interesting in a class I once took, I am going strictly from memory here so bear w/me. We were in the Book of Ephesians. The topic came up about historical-cultural context and how it relates to the interpretation of the text. The Economics came into play, and the point made by the instructor was that the silversmiths in Ephesus were up in arms against Paul because by spreading Christianity, He was taking away their livelihood. This was because the silversmiths made a living at making silver trinkets that honored Diana. Silversmithing was a major industry, so therefore Paul had a major influence on economics by proseletyzing the public into Christian beliefs. Anyway, the instructor appeared to be very well informed and had some interesting points to make. Sorry I cannot come up with sources or references at this point. God Bless you in your endeavor. keliy |

Hi Psalm 23, Welcome to the Forum. When a teacher asks such questions of the students, it is not because of the significance of which direction is traveled, it would be to see how well the reading assignments are being followed. Does your reading assignment include Numbers 21:11? keliy |

33 | Journ to Moab, what kept them from Edom? | Bible general Archive 4 | keliy | 214661 | ||
Hi Monica Jo, Welcome to the forum, we are glad you are here. However there seems to be a rash of questions the past few days about the journey you described. This leads the users of the Forum to come to the conclusion that this must be some sort of homework assignment, and rather than do the required reading, there are several students who would actually enlist us to do their homework for them. The Forum users are against this type of exercise because we feel that it is not only dishonest, but it makes us an unwilling partner in sin. I write this because I hope that I am wrong. but every time this sort of thing comes up, it is by a new member to this Forum and we never hear from them again, so it is hard not to come to this unfortunate conclusion. That being said, I will offer some assistance by looking up Oboth in Strong's Concordance. This should narrow your reading down quite a bit, since Oboth is only mentioned in four verses in the King James Version. The verses are Numbers 21:10 and 11, and also Num 33:43 and 44. If you were to read these two chapters carefully, I think you may find your answer. And I think there may be a greater lesson learned as well. Now, in return can you tell me what sort of class this is? Or am I on the wrong track? keliy |

John, Thanks for your warm reply. (o: As a member of this fine forum, I am always willing to do my very best to help anyone. That is my life off the forum also, but we must all thank our Lord, for that is where our sufficiency comes from. We are all called to live godly lives, but we are without sufficient resources to live the life that we are called to live. So, a life of growth in Christ-likeness can only come about when we draw upon God’s sufficiency for living as we strive for a closer walk with our Savior. I praise God as I thank Him for this Forum that brings together sisters and brothers like you and all the friends that have helped me to grow towards God's holy standard. Blessings to you, keliy Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God. (2 Corinthians 3:5) |

37 | What are Sau'l strengths and weaknesses? | Bible general Archive 4 | keliy | 220954 | ||
There are three Sauls mentioned in the Bible. Two were kings. The third Saul was an author of many New Testament epistles. It is easy to forget about Saul the king of Edom (Gen. 36:37-38) One of King Saul's most obvious strengths is the providential circumstances that were connected with his election as king. These are recorded in 1 Sam. 8-10. After meeting Samuel, and being annointed as king, Saul reached his home in Gibeah and the Spirit of God came upon him, and then “he was turned into another man.” The simple countryman was transformed through God's Spirit into the king of Israel. One of Saul's most obvious weaknessses was his jealousy of David. After David slew Goliath, Saul took David into his service (18:2); but he became jealous of him (verse 9), and let his anger towards David (verses 10-11), ripen into a murderous rage which several times he tried to carry out, but was unsuccessful. |

38 | Did Satan know that Jesus was God? | Bible general Archive 4 | keliy | 220956 | ||
Hi jaypat25, welcome, and thank you for your question. I do not find a verse in the Bible that answers your question per se, but we do know that Jesus knew who satan was, and he was to make abundantly clear to satan that He was the Son of God before beginning His ministry on earth. The account begins in Matt 4:1, "Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil." Satan told Jesus in vs 3, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread." Now satan had an obvious hunch who Jesus was, or he would not have even been there. But satan also knew that God could not fall into temptation, so he tested this 'Son of Man' to see if He really was who He was supposed to be. Satan is not omniscient so he was possibly on the constant lookout for the one to come who was going to crush his head. That is, if it would be possible for Jesus to actually have given in to satan's cunning deceptions, it would have proven that He was no more than a mere man, and all bets would be off. |

39 | how old is the earth? | Bible general Archive 4 | keliy | 221000 | ||
Good sites, Doc. I just have an additional comment for those who claim the older age of the earth, due to fossil evidence: If God can create Adam as a full-grown man, could He not also create the earth as a full-grown earth? This would also include the stars. Being light-years away, our Creator would have necessarily made them with their light beams reaching already near the earth. -As this was before the advent of time. But that is only an opinion of mine, and not scientifically based. I am still watching for scientific facts that could possibly lead me to think otherwise (o; |
