21 | Does Hebrew tradition explain folded? | John 20:7 | wordoer | 214156 | ||
Hello Angela, The folded napkin is understood to mean that the Master is not finished. When sitting to eat the slave would stand by silently, and the Master would have his meal. If he put the napkin on the table in a manner (unfolded) meant that he was finished. Jesus left the napkin folded, He is not finished, He is returning. What a great message. wordoer |

24 | Passage may say some born cannot be save | 2 Pet 2:9 | wordoer | 200584 | ||
Hello granny4jesus, He was most likely speaking of the vessels of wrath reserved for destruction, as written in Rom 9:22. Ps 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; These who speak lies go astray from birth. Jude 1:4, also 10-16 Rom 3:13 "THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE, WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING," "THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS"; or Psalm chapter 5, may it be so. These are some verses that come to mind. Please let me know if any of these are it. There are definitely more scriptures that teach what your "member" was speaking of. Praise be to His Holy name, Jesus. wordoer |

26 | Sin to charge interest on a loan? | Bible general Archive 4 | wordoer | 196538 | ||
Hello pbp, Yes , it is a sin to charge interest on a loan to your own people. The Bible term is "usury" Neh 5:7 I consulted with myself and contended with the nobles and the rulers and said to them, "You are exacting usury, each from his brother!" Therefore, I held a great assembly against them. :36 'Do not take usurious interest from him, but revere your God, that your countryman may live with you. Lev 25:37 'You shall not give him your silver at interest, nor your food for gain. You can charge interest to a foriegner. Deut 23:20 "You may charge interest to a foreigner, but to your countrymen you shall not charge interest, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you undertake in the land which you are about to enter to possess. Search "interest", and "usury" in the upper right of this page. Hope that helps, wordoer |

28 | What was the name given to Jesus? | John 17:11 | wordoer | 193270 | ||
Pilgrim2eternity, He (Jesus) said to His Father, "keep them in Your Name". The name which you have given Me. Matt 1:20 But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. Matt 1:21 "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." The angel of the Lord told Joseph to call His name "Jesus". This is the name of the Father, "Jesus". Which He has given to His Son. The name given to Jesus, is Jesus. In the great commission, it is a directive to baptize in the name of the Father , Son, and Holy Spirit. Is it possible that this name is "Jesus"? "...that they may be one even as We are." "...and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." wordoer |

30 | Bible passage sins of few passed to all? | 2 Sam 24:10 | wordoer | 189951 | ||
Hello oscardog, I don't know that a passage actually states it in that manner, But the principle does exist in the Holy Writ. The following is one example. 2 Sam 24:10 Now David's heart troubled him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the LORD, "I have sinned greatly in what I have done. But now, O LORD, please take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly." 11 When David arose in the morning, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying, 12 "Go and speak to David, 'Thus the LORD says, "I am offering you three things; choose for yourself one of them, which I will do to you.""' 13 So Gad came to David and told him, and said to him, "Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days' pestilence in your land? Now consider and see what answer I shall return to Him who sent me." 14 Then David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Let us now fall into the hand of the LORD for His mercies are great, but do not let me fall into the hand of man." 15 So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning until the appointed time, and seventy thousand men of the people from Dan to Beersheba died. 16 When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented from the calamity and said to the angel who destroyed the people, "It is enough! Now relax your hand!" And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. 17 Then David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who was striking down the people, and said, "Behold, it is I who have sinned, and it is I who have done wrong; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let Your hand be against me and against my father's house." I hope this helps, wordoer |

31 | What are all of His benefits? | Ps 103:2 | wordoer | 189920 | ||
Hello BradK, Well, it was not exactly what I was looking for. I am trying to compile a list of all of His benefits, to be able bring them to rememberance. Psalm 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits;... As Spurgeon says; "Observe that he calls all that is within him to remember all the Lord's benefits." But fails to tell His benefits. What are they? Such as; He preserves the souls of His godly ones, and delivers us from the hand of the wicked, "Ps 97:10 Hate evil, you who love the LORD, Who preserves the souls of His godly ones; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked." I will hopefully be back shortly with a compilation of all of His benefits. I do believe that these are guidelines to follow to make us wise. 1 Cor 10:11 Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. Thank Jesus, we have His Word. Hey, there's another benefit. I think this compilation would make a handy little booklet or flyer for His people to reflect upon. Thank you for your effort, wordoer |

33 | The right presidential candidate | Bible general Archive 3 | wordoer | 189809 | ||
Hello 00123, I liked Cheri’s answer, in the end we win through Him Who loved us, I say not a bad idea , It will work. If we win in the end , why not hasten the day of the Lord? It is fitting if we vote for Him for President, We already love Him for what He has done for us, If He accepts the position, I realize it is a step down for Him, because He is already King of kings, and Lord of lords, But, I think He might just do it. He loved us enough to give his life for us. Why would He not take the position? I think one or two of the posters here on the studybibleforum would vote for Him in 2008, He just needs a few more votes, won’t you write in your vote for Jesus Christ for president? Or would you not want Him to rule over you? Luke 19:27 "But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence." Yes Lord. Ok, I say vote for Jesus Christ. You ask why, He already knows how to lead, and perform all the duties, He would make the ultimate Presider over US. As far as a Biblical perspective He has got it all, He knows the Word, He is the Word! John 1:1 www.voteforjesus.info/ Praise be to our Lord and Savior, and soon to be President, Jesus Christ, wordoer He is our Conquering King! |

34 | Tithe vs Debts | 2 Corinthians | wordoer | 189736 | ||
Hello kalos, I would like to address these points. Quoting from the article; “'The New Testament nowhere mentions the tithe system and nowhere recommends that New Covenant believers follow it.” I would disagree with that statement, Matt 23:23, Heb 7:8-9 mentions the tithe, that is New Testament. The people were aware of what it meant, and Paul gave instruction on the subject. 1 Cor 16:1-2, Also in, Luke 18:12 '… I pay tithes of all that I get.', This verse is saying “I pay a tenth part of all I receive“. Now, I understand this man was trying to exalt himself, but this verse has a secondary teaching, he knew of the tithe, and people were aware of it. It also did not say whether or not the other man had tithed, but Jesus was pointing out his justification in the humble position he took before God, in not puffing himself up by his own deeds. quote , "The Christian church took the 10 percent figure from the Old Testament tithe and applied it as a “recommended minimum” for Christians in their giving." How arrogant, to teach such a thing, were they trying to get rich off of their own people? Or, were they were giving Holy Spirit inspired scriptural instruction, as to how to give properly, as they had prospered, to receive the blessings that God would give them, and to prosper even as John wanted for the saints, 3 John 1:2. What a lovely gesture. quote , "However, New Covenant believers should not feel obligated to always give 10 percent. They should give as they are able, “in keeping with his income”." They say "in keeping with his income", that is exactly what was being taught by Paul, 1 Cor 16:1 “Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so do you also. On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper,…” The NASB translation says, "as he prospers", that was what the tithe came from, what you had prospered. How could one such as Paul, instruct without some sort of directive? The teaching on tithing is found in the Old Testament. Or could Paul have been the first to teach, give out of your need? Quote, “It all depends on the ability of the giver and the needs of the church.” What the Bible says is; concerning the collection for the saints, 1 Cor. 16:1-2 “On the first day of the week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.” Follow the Bible instruction, would Paul have taught, that if you were in excessive debt, not to give as much the next time they pass the plate, I don't think so, and I don't think that it is putting someone under compulsion, if you are teaching them correct, and proper ways to give of their increase, to tithe. It is in the definition of the word, it means one tenth. If you receive 100 percent, how hard can it be to give 10 percent back to God, He only wants a small portion of your increase. He gives you air to breathe, strength to move about, and the ability to prosper, He is not asking you to give something you don't have. Quote, "'Each and every Christian should diligently pray and seek God’s wisdom for how much he or she should give (James 1:5).” (James 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.) I would agree, This scripture is talking about getting God’s wisdom, diligently pray AND SEEK God's wisdom, What does God's Word (His wisdom) say about how much an individual should give? Duet 14:22,29, 2 Chr. 31:3,6, Gen. 28:22. Quote, “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2Cor 9:7). I don't feel reluctant or under compulsion to pay the tithe, I gladly give that portion. I am telling you, so that you may prosper. Pay the tithe! However, I must admit I have my own selfish reasons, I want there to be; food in His house, and all these things that He has promised us, who are His. Read Malachi Chapters 3 and 4. So , What does the Bible say about tithing? Every where I look concerning this subject it says to give a tenth of your increase back to God. Have I harmonized the scripture so that it is agreeable to itself? Or, have I done violence to His Word by giving you the truth and then nullifying it by leavening it, so it is confusing and of none effect. Praise Jesus, he doesn't put a heavy burden on us, wordoer |

35 | Israel and worship of other gods | Deut 11:16 | wordoer | 189655 | ||
Hello, Tuggy, They are an obstinant people, and not smart enough to know when they have a good thing going. Which I think is why He calls us sheep. Like in this verse in 1 Samuel 8, They had a King, Which was The Most High God, but they wanted a King like all the other nations, You can read the whole chapter.It is really dumb, even after Samuel told them how it would be under an earthly king. Also if you read in Kings and Chronicles their kings would cause them to turn away from their God, and some kings caused them to return. 1 Sam 8:5 and they said to him, "Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations." Is 1:3 "An ox knows its owner, And a donkey its master's manger, But Israel does not know, My people do not understand." wordoer |

36 | Tithe vs Debts | 2 Corinthians | wordoer | 189605 | ||
Hello BradK, I thank you for your observation, my response was intented to be simple and basic, Does "oversimplistic", mean "unscriptural"? And you are right, Mal 3:10 is not directed to the church, It is directed to the sons of Jacob. Mal 3:6 "For I, the LORD, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed. Mal 3:7 "From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you," says the LORD of hosts. "But you say, 'How shall we return?' Mal 3:8 "Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, 'How have we robbed You?' In tithes and offerings. Mal 3:9 "You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of you! American has really been on the upswing especially in recent years, don't you think, there is so much more degradation, crime and every other sort of evil coming upon us, it is disgusting. I will note that He says "tithes and offerings". Defining "tithe", it is the tenth part in kind or money as a voluntary contribution or as a tax especially in support of a religious organization. So please note that by definition the tithe is voluntary or as you might say "free-will", any more than the tenth would be your offering, would it not? If you just gave an "offering", that could be any amount, and may not even constitute as a tithe (if it were less than a tenth part). I'm not really getting the point you are trying to make with the scripture references from 2 Corinthians, it seems that these people were poor, but poor people can still pay a tithe. You tithe from your increase, if your increase is say, a dime, you would give a penny. It is really simple, if you believe it. Just as you would give out of your wealth, in like manner you could give out of your poverty. wordoer |

Tithe first, Trust God , He can make that 10 percent do more than the 90 percent you will have left. He says to test Him in this. Try it, it works. It all belongs to Him anyway. Don't be a God robber. Mal 3:10 "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows. If you can't find it in the New Testament , it has probably been covered sufficiently in the Old Testament. wordoer |

38 | What about hurricanes? | Bible general Archive 3 | wordoer | 160242 | ||
Hello worldchanger, Is 28:2 Behold, the Lord has a strong and mighty agent; As a storm of hail, a tempest of destruction, Like a storm of mighty overflowing waters, He has cast it down to the earth with His hand. Is 29:6 From the LORD of hosts you will be punished with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire. whirlwind(5492a)suphah (693a); from 5486; a storm wind:--gale(1), storm(3), tempest(2), whirlwind(8), windstorms(1). tempest(5591b)searah (704b); from 5590; a tempest, storm wind:--storm(6), storm winds(1), stormy(2), tempest(2), violent(2), whirlwind(3). Jer 23:19 "Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone forth in wrath, Even a whirling tempest; It will swirl down on the head of the wicked. In the Septuagint Bible, Isaiah 29:6 (the translation of Charles Thomson) reads: "From the Lord of Hosts there will be a visitation - a hurricane and a devouring flame of fire, with thunder and an earth-quake and a mighty noise." I would submit that these scriptures could possibly be speaking of a hurricane. Could the following be speaking of "storm surge", or a "tsunami"? Is 28:2 ..."Like a storm of mighty overflowing waters",... wordoer |

39 | Covenant Marriage | James | wordoer | 159075 | ||
Hello Aliennow, Yes, there is a time when divorce is permitted, Matt 19:8 He *said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way. Or this was not the intention from the beginning. Please type in the number 39220, in the upper right hand search box on this site, the threaded posts there should help your understanding on this verse in Matthew 5:31. It really is a confusing translation of scripture, as it seems redundant to say, "if you divorce your wife you must give her a certificate of divorce". The certificate is one of the components of the divorce, and without the certificate you could not possibly be divorced. wordoer |

Hello txsweet pea, This was the only scripture I could find related to your question. Deut 24:5 "When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out with the army nor be charged with any duty; he shall be free at home one year and shall give happiness to his wife whom he has taken. This sounds to me like a honeymoon. However, there may be a translation out there that might seem to suggest living with family, according to this translation the man and his newly-wed wife would be living at "home". wordoer |
