Steve, Do you have a version of the 1611 version of the King James, if so, RIGHT ON! So do I! I appreciate the letter to the reader in the beginning. Now if you and were in a conversation and I said to you that I was careful, how in the heck would you know that I was (anxious) except by body language? Do you get my drift? SERENETIME |

Tim, It is always a pleasure to hear from you. I've always appreciated and respected your responses on issues regarding scripture. But like I have always said that we have to work out our own sole salvation. Can we only trust others? Doesn't the buck always stop with us as the saying goes. We are solely responsible that we understand and absorb the scriptures first and formost on our own, and then rely on other scholars whom have studied for many years. Wouldn't you agree? Take Care and God Bless, SERENETIME |

Annaciah, Howdy and I welcome your question. Regarding only begotten, I refer to the original greek translation. NT:3439 monogenes (mon-og-en-ace); from NT:3441 and NT:1096; only-born, i.e. sole: KJV - only (begotten, child). NT:1096 ginomai (ghin-om-ahee); a prolongation and middle voice form of a primary verb; to cause to be (gen - erate), i.e. (reflexively) to become (come into being), used with great latitude (literal, figurative, intensive, etc.): KJV - arise, be assembled, be (-come, -fall, -haveself), be brought (to pass), (be) come (to pass), continue, be divided, draw, be ended, fall, be finished, follow, be found, be fulfilled, God forbid, grow, happen, have, be kept, be made, be married, be ordained to be, partake, pass, be performed, be published, require, seem, be showed, soon as it was, sound, be taken, be turned, use, wax, will, would, be wrought. I hope I've been a help. God Bless! SERENETIME |

Turkish, I have read everyone's response on this thread and I believe in my heart that even though scripture does not convey on this issue specifically there is an answer. First our flesh body is what we are stuck with. What does sin mean, doesn't the word Christian is to be Christ like? Our goal is always be Christ like. Here are some meanings for the word (sin) in the Greek in the NT. NT:264 hamartano (ham-ar-tan'-o); perhaps from NT:1 (as a negative particle) and the base of NT:3313; properly, to miss the mark (and so not share in the prize), i.e. (figuratively) to err, especially (morally) to sin: KJV - for your faults, offend, sin, trespass. NT:265 hamartema (ham-ar'-tay-mah); from NT:264; a sin (properly concrete): KJV - sin. NT:266 hamartia (ham-ar-tee'-ah); from NT:264; a sin (properly abstract): KJV - offence, sin (-ful). This is vague in the fact that it does not specify regarding masturbation. But bear in mind that I think everyone will agree that God has given us common sense in this life. In that flesh and blood will not inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Cor 15:50 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. KJV Corruption will not inherit incorruption. Meaning our flesh and blood is corrupt. And if we are all changed in a twinkling of a eye at the last trump, and corruptible becomes incorruptible. 1 Cor 15:52-53 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. KJV What was Paul talking about in 1 Cor.? Yes we have this sexual desire, and (common sense) will tell you that, isn't it better to masturbate than to go out somewhere and find someone or if you are married to find someone else to relieve yourselves. 1 Cor 7:9 9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. KJV NT:4448 ( burn) puroo (poo-ro'-o); from NT:4442; to kindle, i.e. (passively) to be ignited, glow (literally), be refined (by implication), or (figuratively) to be inflamed (with anger, grief, lust): KJV - burn, fiery, be on fire, try. NT:4442 pur (poor); a primary word; "fire" (literally or figuratively, specifically, lightning): KJV - fiery, fire. I believe wholeheartedly that masturbation is not sin and that you men on this forum know that if this does not take place from time to time,then there is a problem, and you know what I mean. Let's get real here! SERENETIME |

Hank, Thank you so much for your input regarding this matter. I have been questioning this issue for some time now and am a strong believer in going back to the original language as to get a better understanding of the scriptures. I understand what you are saying and I thought your point on McDonalds was hilarious. Regarding (1), there are linguistic cowboys who suppose they can drop by a bookstore, pick up a Strong's or other Hebrew-Greek dictionary, stop by MacDonald's on the way home and while they are eating a Big Mac become an expert in the ancient languages. But wouldn't you agree that even the novice should go back to the original language in which the scriptures were written as to get a better understanding for themselves and also seek out bible scholars whom have been studying the scriptures for many years? Because lets face it when it comes to where the rubber meets the road we are solely responsible for (KNOWING) what God is conveying to us. We as human beings are not perfect. Thank you again for your help! In the Living Water of Truth of the Father, SERENETIME |

bravostarr, I am most appreciative of you input on this question. I agree wholeheartedly that we should rely on the original language in which the scriptures were written. I believe that when scholars retranslate as to make it easier for some to understand over and over again there is room for error. Just a note, that even in the King James version there is a scripture that comes to mind that I feel is mistranslated as to one word, which in my opinion can change the whole meaning of the scripture is (Be careful). Phil 4:6 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. KJV NT:3309 merimnao (mer-im-nah'-o); from NT:3308; to be anxious about: KJV - (be, have) care (-ful), take thought. As you can see the word (careful) in Phil. 4:6 is very much far off base from the true meaning of the original meaning in the greek. The word careful is I feel contrary from the meaning of (anxious). I would appreciate all to elaborate on this issue and thank you ahead of time. In the Living Water of Truth of the Father, SERENETIME |

Dear john reformed and to all, I don't know how it happened, but the scripture I meant to put in was referring to Eph. 4:6 Eph 4:6 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Hi to all, I recall awhile back when alot of people were not happy with the new translation of the NIV bible. If I remember correctly there was quite a contraversy going on regarding this matter as to some certain scriptures and certain variations. Even certain one were willing to even to throw the original NIV away. My question to all is this- If certain Bibles are being retranslated ever so often, then how are we to know which translation even remotely comes closests to the Original Language in which it was written to get the closests to the correct interpretation? Your thoughts please! SERENETIME |

34 | What does this mean? | James 4:2 | serenetime | 46232 | ||
Sushod, Hi and it so good to hear from you. Regarding James 4:2, I have another observation. James 4:2 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. KJV First you lust, and why do you lust, because you (DESIRE) something that is unatainable really because it is contrary to LOVE and by Love you truly obtain what is profitable, ye kill and desire to have, but by killing do you really obtain by killing the MOST IMPORTANT thing that is really needed in LOVE, and then ye fight and war, and ye have not because ye ask not. You fight and war for what you feel is rightfully yours, but ye ask not because if you truly trust in the Father then all things are yours and there's not need for all of this. But if your mind and heart is in lust in all three areas. Doesn't it say in, Matt 7:7-8 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. KJV I can see in this verse that if we do things in the lust of the flesh we will never obtain what is truly important in LOVE of the Father through Iesous (Jesus). We need to trust our Father. But then again there are others that Lust and are not of the Father. Do you agree? I hope I have been a help, In the Living Water of Truth, SERENETIME |

robfl253, Judg 16:1-25 16:1 Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her. 2 And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him. 3 And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron. 4 And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. 5 And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver. 6 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee. 7 And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man. 8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them. 9 Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known. 10 And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound. 11 And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man. 12 Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread. 13 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web. 14 And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web. 15 And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth. 16 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death; 17 That he told her all his heart, and said unto her. There hath not come a rasor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man. 18 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand. 19 And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him. 20 And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him. 21 But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house. 22 Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven. 23 Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand. By his lust and letting his guard down, he was betrayed by Delilah and by the strength he was given by his hair as a covering was no longer there. I hope I have helped. SERENETIME |

radioman, I am appeciative that you are here, but i have to say to you that you are being offensive and rude. This has been a normality on this forum for quite a while, and I feel "lets get down to where the rubber meets the road man". shouldn't we all be here for one another?? Check out what's going on in the world now? Shouldn't this be opening our eyes. In these countries where this is happening, we forget this is happening here too? Aren't we all here to learn from one another. Is it necessary to keep competing with one another? The Father's Wisdom is the answer, wouldn't you agree? SERENETIME | ||||||

k peace, Hi! and I am so glad you are here. I love your question and just to give a another perspective regarding your question. I went back to the original Greek of the New Testament and this is what is really interesting is that in the Greek according the Strongs Exhaustive and Dictionary it renders the translation of the words "he behaveth himself uncomely" in verse 36 of 1cor. 7 as these words of the scripture as having the translation of- NT:807 aschemoneo (as-kay-mon-eh-o); from NT:809; to be (i.e. act) unbecoming: KJV - behaveself uncomely (unseemly). NT:809 askemon (as-kay-mone); from NT:1 (as a negative particle) and a presumed derivative of NT:2192 (in the sense of its congener NT:4976); properly, shapeless, i.e. (figuratively) inelegant: KJV - uncomely. NT:1 a (al fah); of Hebrew origin; the first letter of the alphabet; figuratively, only (from its use as a numeral) the first: KJV - Alpha. Often used (usually an, before a vowel) also in composition (as a contraction from NT:427) in the sense of privation; so, in many words, beginning with this letter; occasionally in the sense of union (as a contraction of NT:260). NT:427 aneu (an-yoo); a primary particle; without: KJV - without. Compare NT:1. from this we can get our own understanding, but we should always pray to the Father of Truth for Wisdom and understanding of His Truth. I hope I have helped also. SERENETIME |

38 | The Ordination of Women | Numbers | serenetime | 43015 | ||
Donnaeve, Hi, and I am enjoying your question because this is something that has been asked before, and many do not agree, but It calls to mind the scriptures in Numbers, Num 22:21-29 21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab. 22 And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him. 23 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way. 24 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side. 25 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again. 26 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. 27 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff. 28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? That if God can choose an ass to speak for him then Gee, then God can choose a woman to speak on his behalf as well. I feel that if you take off the flesh body, then what do you have? We are all the same. 1 Cor 15:50 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. KJV So if this is true, then Women can be called. Matt 22:14 14 For many are called, but few are chosen. KJV 1 Tim 2:12 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. KJV The translation in the original Greek for the word for (woman) here is wife, NT:1135 (woman) gune (goo-nay'); probably from the base of NT:1096; a woman; specially, a wife: KJV - wife, woman. The translation for (usurp) in the original Greek renders- NT:831 authenteo (ow-then-teh'-o); from a compound of NT:846 and an obsolete hentes (a worker); to act of oneself, i.e. (figuratively) dominate: KJV - usurp authority over. Do you see in this translation of usurp, it says to act of oneself. But if God had called her to be ordained she is not acting of oneself but what god wants, and who are we to trust? God or Man? God Bless your endeavours, and may you remain diligent in your determination to understand our Father's word. Your sister in the Living Water of Truth. SERENETIME |

pajoyla@aol.com, Hi, and welcome. The scripture that comes to mind is 1 Cor 11:15 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

40 | DELIVERANCE FROM HOMOSEXUALITY | Rom 1:27 | serenetime | 41954 | ||
Hey NRGRIMES, I am so glad you are here. Rom 1:18-31 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affectio KJV I hope I i have been a help.
