21 | Mat 17:20 vs I Cor 13:2? | Mark 9:23 | userdoe214 | 8770 | ||
Chris, Thanks for clarifying your question. I can't answer it, but it starts me thinking about something undeniably important. This may keep me busy for quite some time. Thanks again, mrk |

25 | Was Eli lax in discipline? | 1 Sam 2:22 | userdoe214 | 8698 | ||
Yes he was. But what an understatement! He should have done a Deut. 21:18-21 on them. As it was he lost them all, and totally discredited his ministry. It's interesting to note that Samuel (my favorite person of the OT), who was raised by Eli had the same problem--that is not making sure his boys did right: see I Samuel 8th chapter. A warning to all fathers. Being a son of a PK, I gave it much thought even before becoming a father. mrk |

26 | Implications of Mat 17:20 vs I Cor 13:2? | Mark 9:23 | userdoe214 | 8681 | ||
Chris, Is this a trick question? The hyperbole is to drive home, all things are possible to him who believes. But I suspect you are not looking for a high school level lesson in literary interpretation. So what's on U mind? mrk |

27 | Why did the NASB change JEHOVAH to Lord? | Deut 5:11 | userdoe214 | 8679 | ||
Thanks Tim, for filling in my blanks. I've been in a Hebrew congregation where this came up. The person was reading in Hebrew, but when they came to the NAME they wouldn't say anything. It seemed sadly awkward to me at the time, but I suppose they've had centuries to adjust. It breaks my heart that the NAME they've long forgotten is for them the name of The Unknown God. mrk |

28 | The dream was from God? | Heb 1:1 | userdoe214 | 8676 | ||
I know nothing of such web site. And I'm still in no shape to pull the sword on this subject. I defer to New England. All I know it that, they are without excuse. A most frightening thought. mrk |

29 | Why did the NASB change JEHOVAH to Lord? | Deut 5:11 | userdoe214 | 8673 | ||
Read the introduction to your NASB. It explains that we really don't know how to pronounce that name for God, because the Hebrews quit pronouncing it themselves. So many people write the NAME as LORD (all caps.) The complication comes due (what seems to me) to be an oddity of the Hebrew language. Strictly speaking most speakers of Hebrew (past and present) do not write their language with the vowels. So when it comes to pronouncing you have to "know" were they belong. In the Hebrew text preserved by the Jews, they wrote the vowel markings in (the jots and tiddles), but with the NAME, they left them off, so no one would accidentally prounounce the holy name of God. It was a strange tradition, with no biblical foundation, but that's the way it is. So the JW's don't know any more than you on this subject. And most modern language scholars long ago forsook the Jehovah way of writing the NAME. |

30 | The dream was from God? | Heb 1:1 | userdoe214 | 8668 | ||
Dear Hank, I don't think the New England theologians of the 18th and 19th century would agree, and I've never known a group more committed to the Bible, nor more mindful of the history of the faith which we call orthodoxy. They were Calvinists and the forgers of a truly unique theological tradition. There's been much written about them, but all my books are in storage, so I can't give any references. mrk |

31 | Please explain to me? | Titus | userdoe214 | 8662 | ||
Sorry about that EdB, And I really am sorry about that harsh post. I quit answering all other postings than donnag's because I was only concerned about her. I hope that they keep this little branch of the forum off the main board so we can talk in as much detail as you please. When I read that dream I realized she was holding a poison snake and needed to be warned in no uncertain terms--but without coming right out and saying it in a panicked tone. I've recently moved to the DC area, but for years I lived in a place which has much occult attack on the churches. Many of the believers of that town have a strange closeness even though we attended many different congregations. As a result of our community wide camaraderie and constant encounters with the world of darkness we developed many conflict skills which I am discovering are not common in other communities. There is a reason why I did not want donnag to go into more details, for it seemed pretty obvious that the personal problems were stemming from the spiritual (demonic) problems. So I wanted to stick with the solution to the problem, rather than dealing with extraneous problems, and I assumed (wisely or no, I cannot judge) that the solution to her problem was to follow the Lord out of a dark situation. By the way I was not countering everything you said, for I quit reading what anyone else said but donnag. So if you reread all that I wrote after my last letter to you I had only one thought in my mind; to answer donnag as best as I could. Later I did read through them all, and was most amazed by JVH's letter. After that I thought it best to drop the subject all together. mrk |

32 | The dream was from God? | Heb 1:1 | userdoe214 | 8656 | ||
Dear Hank, This is for me such a touchy issue, because it can sound all wrong if the words don't come out just right. Possibly I erred by bringing it up, for it sounds like I am saying there is a substitute for Scripture, but history (both mine personal and of the Church) has proven that is not the case. There is a branch of theology called Natural Theology, which treats this subject with great care, which seems to have been developed primarily to aid evangelism. Most of writers start out with the Romans 1:20. I don't feel up to expounding, for I doubt anyone on this forum would find it interesting; or at least reading my lack-luster rendition. Most texts on systematic theolgy are not considered complete without treating this subject. mrk |

Dear Shogun, (I hope that is the proper way to address a Shogun, for I value my head), The person who tought me theology said it differently: "When in Rome do as the Romanians" mrk |

34 | Mark, Are you saying you interpet dreams | Titus | userdoe214 | 8654 | ||
I cannot interpret dreams and cannot answer all you're questions. So I'll answer your question with a question: Do not interpretations belong to God? (Gen. 40:8) mrk |

35 | I need to know if this is a cult? | Titus | userdoe214 | 8652 | ||
Dear Nolan, I assure you I have no idea what you're talking about, but that's probably because I am no gentlemen (I Chron. 22:8). mrk |

36 | The dream was from God? | Heb 1:1 | userdoe214 | 8458 | ||
Dear Hank, I'm curious: how can you say it is THE source when Paul says: Rom 1:20- For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes,His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seenbeing understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. ----I did that for those who think I never quote the Bible. I don't think the Shogun was meaning we don't need the Bible (though I don't know why I presume to talk for him), he was only saying the letter is no subtitute for the relationship. I submit that relationship starts when we said yes to God (and no to sin), not yes to the Bible. You know the place of "First Love." mrk |

I'm not sure what your final decision is, but if you are going to "go with what the Holy Spirit has put in your heart" then I know you have made the right decision. Goodness and mercy follow you, mrk |

38 | Cities of Judah or Cities of Demons? | Genesis | userdoe214 | 8449 | ||
Dear Shogun, I hate to ask what C.V.A means, for I fear you might make a list of words your "futures" use. Though in my experience the list is pretty short. But the believers of Arminia are members of a church older that most of the Eastern Orthodox Churches. Of course I know you are talking about those people I call "liberal Calvinists" I'm sure you don't have a stiff (leather) neck, so I suppose you wear a blush while at work. mrk |

OK, That's better. If the person were speaking under the influence of a demon, it would be very common for it to purposely misquote the Scripture. I'm still very much inclined to say the person was giving voice for a demon, because that is a direct quote from a demon preserved in Scripture (Acts 19:15). And I'm very sure no demon has the right to say that to you. If you can't tell I'm worried for you. Please follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. He speaks to your heart, even when your mind is confused by a world of conflicting facts. Follow your guide, He will never lead you into deception. mrk |
