21 | Your screenname? | 1 Tim 2:9 | winged1 | 132530 | ||
Doc, Please sir, i'm so confused. I've followed every single post on this thread. I really don't want to butt in but what does your screenname mean? It seems to be important to you and to others, but I can't make it out. I'm still to this forum and I'm trying to learn. I'm a freshman in college, so many of the terms mean little to me, but concerning what's where in the Bible, I'm fairly familiar thanks to the blessings God gave me as a child. Your younger and confused sister in Christ, Jo |

22 | What's John 14:6 in original language? | John 14:6 | winged1 | 132526 | ||
I have a friend who believes many things that Christians believe. However, he does not believe the Bible to be authoritative or infallible. He does not trust history's ability to hand us down an accurate Bible after so many translations. During our discussions, I mentioned John 14:6. He thinks that this verse might be inaccurate. Can any scholar who knows the original language help me out? What was the original phrasing/sense of this verse? | ||||||
23 | Please explain the big words! | Bible general Archive 2 | winged1 | 132335 | ||
Thanks Tim! I think one problem with the thread I was reading, besides the long words, was misinterpretation. People are quick to take offense when they misunderstand something. Of course, that happens when all the communication is typed without body language to temper the words. So I pray that none of my questions or posts degenerate into massive nitpicking like I've seen a couple of so far. I'm open to correction at any point. I'm fallible, God is everything. Jo |

Hi everyone! I'm still new to this forum, so please take the time to correct me in the rules if I err. I'm just a simple college student and although I'm pretty familiar with what's where in the Bible, I don't know any Greek or Hebrew and I don't know many of the terms. I read through the entire thread about what counts as immodest clothing that suddenly turned into a debate on the difference between when we first come to Christ and the lifetime of becoming more like him. I got lost so fast with words like "hermenutics" and "exegesis". I was wondering if someone knew a website or rescource that would explain these seminary-looking words in plain English. I am eager to learn from some of you but I can't keep up with the language. Thank you, Jo |

27 | Naming our Daughter question | 2 Chr 3:1 | winged1 | 131981 | ||
I know a little girl named Moriah, and it seems a perfectly lovely name. As long as you spell it with an "o", the old way, it won't be confused with some of the famous women who have the name. | ||||||

Thanks again to everyone who answered. I'll say it again, I'm eighteen. I'm sorry I was misleading. Since I posted the question, I've joined the girl's Bible study at my college. I praise the Lord for leading me to Christian peers in a secular, male-dominated school. Thank you for your prayers. Maybe I'll help some of you find an obscure verse someday, by the grace of God. Jo |

Thank you Aaron and Country Girl as well. I am eighteen, by the way. I just mentioned that I was saved very young and did not become serious until later to illustrate the fact that I have an easy familiarity with what's where in the Bible. I've been going to a Christian school for seven years and this is my first year in a secular college. My trivia and data on the Bible are very extensive, but I feel that I know a little about everything and not a lot on any one thing. Thank you for your advice. I certainly am impressed by this site. I found it just recently via the Bible Gateway site. It will certianly be a help to me, I think. Too often here I feel that I am in a strange land, morally and religiously. Thanks again and God bless, Jo |

30 | Who is Mary Magdalene? | Luke 7:37 | winged1 | 131600 | ||
John 8:1-11 I have some more passages. I have found the passage of the woman about to be stoned. The NIV calls her simply a "woman caught in the act of adultery". I'm sorry that, so far, I've only told you who isn't Mary Magdalene. There is a passage in Luke I think that lists some of the women who went with Jesus and the disciples and helped them. Mary Magdalene is listed amoung them. The one place I'm certain she is named is John 20:1-18 and the corresponding passages in the other Gospels. Mary Magdalene visits Jesus' tomb and finds the stone rolled away, so runs back to tell Peter and John. After they leave, she stays in the garden and Jesus appears to her and talks with her. She then tells the disciples who see Jesus a day or two later. There may be other times when Mary Magdalene is mentioned, but these are the ones I have found. I hope that this is a help. God bless Jo |

Hi, I've been a Christian since I was young, but I only really dedicated my life to the Lord in earnest when I was 14. I've read the Bible straight through from Genesis to Revelation a few times. Now in my devotions I read through a book straight through. I am starting to feel that there is something more, like I need to get to more solid food. How do I study deeply? How do I get past simply reading the Bible. I do try and memorize some because I've been at AWANA at my church, but besides that? Jo |

33 | Who is Mary Magdalene? | Luke 7:37 | winged1 | 131482 | ||
Hey JoAnn So far, I have only found two instances of Jesus' feet being anointed with expensive oil or perfume, and neither was done by Mary Magdalene. The first was in Luke 7:37-50. Jesus and His disciples are invited to Simon the pharisee's house for dinner. While they are there, a woman the NIV describes only as "a women who had lived a sinful life in that town" comes in. By all accounts I've heard, she was probably a prostitute. She brought with her an alabaster jar of perfume. She wet his feet with her tears, died them with her hair and poured perfume on them. In the custom of that day, guests were greeted with a kiss on the cheek, water to wash their feet, and a little oil for their head. Simon apparantly did none of these, but the woman did. She did more because she had been forgiven of more. At the end of the story, Jesus says that her faith saved her. The second instance comes from John 12:1-8. This happens after Jesus brought Lazarus back to life and right before the Triumphal entry. This was six days before Jesus was crucified. He and his disciples are staying at the house of the siblings Mary, Martha, and Lazarus in Bethany. While they are there, Mary takes a pint of nard, a kind of perfume, pours it on Jesus' feet and wipes them with her hair. The scent of the perfume fills the house. When Judas grumbles about the expense, Jesus afirms her action, saying that it is in preparation for his burial, when the body is embalmed with spices and perfumes. There very well be at least one more incident like this, but right now, I don't think so. The gospels are very confusing on these things since there are perhaps four or five different Marys mentioned. However, if you just look through each case or perhaps made a list to sort out who did what, it might help. God bless Jo |

34 | What prophet did this? | 2 Kin 4:41 | winged1 | 131472 | ||
Hey, jalanlambet, The prophet was Elisha. In my translation, (NIV), it says that it was a pot of stew and Elisha put some flour in and then there was no more poison. Of course, there wasn't anything particularly special about the flour, but God's power was at work. What's interesting though, is immediately following this story is a short account of Elisha mulitplying loaves of bread by God's power. Jesus' miracle of feeding the five thousand in the New Testament was not completely unprecedented. Hope I was a help. God bless Jo |
