21 | CAN THE HOLY SPRIT BE CONTROLLED? | Bible general Archive 1 | serenetime | 40201 | ||
quietone, It says in scripture that John 16:7-8 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: KJV Acts 11:16-17 16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. 17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? KJV If Jesus said he would send a comforter in this life, which signifies his spirit, then he have no control, wouldn't you agree?

New Creature, I appreciate your efforts on seeking out as much information on this subject and in the scriptures. But I truly believe by what you said is that whatever we choose is ok with the Father (God) because our flesh bodies go back to the earth anyway and it's our souls is what is being preserved is what's important, wouldn't you agree?

24 | How are we to understand? | Bible general Archive 1 | serenetime | 46245 | ||
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 |

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 |

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 |

27 | is masterbation a sin explain thxs | Bible general Archive 1 | serenetime | 47635 | ||
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 |

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 |

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 |

glory777, I dislike to have to keep this subject going, but like I said before let's get real to all men! If this does not take place , the it becomes very uncomfortable and they have to release someway. Gee, how does this happen? Masturbation! I know! I'm very tired of men avoiding this subject. Yes our flesh is weak! That's all the more reason is to release this way rather go out and sex with someone outside marriage. If you're married, then you don't have to burn. Give me a break, Paul had to do some releasing, don't you agree? The Father gave us common sense. SERENETIME | ||||||
33 | what is a charismatic church | Bible general Archive 1 | serenetime | 52417 | ||
EVANGELISM DREW, The word charismatic is not in the bible, and there is no definition, but I used to belong to a charismatic church, and or pentecostal church. First they do definitely believe in the trinity and the their meaning of charismatic is speaking in tongues with the evidence of signs and wonders, meaning what EdB stated before. Like the working of the spiritual gifts in 1 Cor.12. It is an interesting read. SERENETIME |

34 | What is Strong's Concordance?GeeVee | Bible general Archive 1 | serenetime | 54789 | ||
GeeVee, The Strongs Concordance is an translation of the transliteration of the languages of the Old and New Testament. In the Old testament- Hebrew and Chaldee and the New Testament- Greek. The best that can be translated from the manuscripts that we have today of the bible in translation as a whole. A great Bible help. SERENETIME | ||||||
35 | The Massorah? | OT general | serenetime | 30679 | ||
Are you familiar with the Massorah? And do you think there's a need for it? I feel it's VERY important. The Massorah is what it's called a fencing of the original manuscripts so as to man not changing or interpreting the word differently than what was originally written. Serenetime | ||||||
36 | 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 | ||||||
37 | 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!

38 | 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 | ||||||
39 | 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 | ||||||
