241 | Is looking at porn a sin if ur single? | James 4:17 | BMyers | 220884 | ||
Mat 5:28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Also, if you look at the definition of lust, it is the intense desire for something. Just because you don't know the individual, doesn't mean you can't lust. Brad |

242 | What ia a parapet | Gen 1:1 | BMyers | 220877 | ||
Basically a wall. It can be used to protect people from dangers, such as a drop off on the edge of a cliff or it can be a wall built to protect soldiers, just depends on the context that it is being used in. Brad |

243 | omitted scripture ..BRAD K | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 220871 | ||
My mistake and accept my apology (unfortunately I've been off work today fighting a nasty little cold bug and have lots of cold medicine in me). The short answer is the manuscripts that KJV relied on verses what other translations use (example the Dead Sea Scrolls where not available to the KJV translators). Just because the statement appears to be a good statement, doesn't mean it was in the original text. How do we know what was in the original text? By comparing various manuscripts, codex, and fragments. Without this turning into a way longer post than I feel up to right now, some scriptures that come to mind is the ending of Mark, the story of the woman caught in adultery, and the ending of the Lord's prayer. Many of the modern translations (NASB, ESV, NIV, NLT, NKJV) make notes of scripture that may or may not belong there. Hope this help. Brad (Example of a tranlating problem, if I say "boy thats cool", what do I mean? Do I mean it is phyiscally cool or is it something I find fascinating? (I know a very simple example just trying to give you something to think on.)) |

If you come looking for a fight for KJV Only, you have came to the wrong place. If you have come to discuss the difference in translations, you will find several post on this matter. KJV is a respected version, but even the KJV has gone through revisions. Most modern translations will tell you in the preface what documents they are translated from and many versions will also make a footnote when the is sufficient evidence that the passage could be different. Before saying one version of the Bible is the best, I would suggest picking up several books on Bible history, translation philosophy, and Biblical manuscripts. It is easy to sit around a parrot what one has read on other websites, but I challenge you to truly research the topic. It is fascinating to see how the Lord has preserved His Word throughout the years. I leave you with the final thought, how do you know your version of the Bible is right? I thank God for the many Godly men and women that he has used through the years to preserve His Word and hopefully through your own research you will be able to find this topic as interesting as I have.

All three could be used to signify a person's authority. The seal was made by signet ring or cylinder with the owner's marking. These items were carried on a cord around ones neck or worn as a ring. The staff could be simply for walking or protection, but it could also designate ones position of authority. Brad |

250 | Can you be pro-life but not do anything? | Genesis | BMyers | 220762 | ||
There is more than one way of being active in an issue. Just because one doesn't go to the local protest, doesn't mean by default they are inactive with the pro-life movement. A few churches in our area has taken the stance to support the local pregnancy center to provide help for unwed mothers instead of taking the protest route. Beyond the above, how you vote and contacting congressional members are important methods of making change along with giving those in need another option when they feel trapped. Saying that Protestants aren't active in the pro-life issues because they don't protest the way that you feel is the correct way of dealing with the issue, isn't a very fair assessment of Protestants as a whole. I know several members in my own church who are very active in the pro-life issue and they have never attended a protest (to my knowledge), but they have helped unwed mothers and given them another option besides abortion.

251 | Missing the Manusripts | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 220750 | ||
Well, it isn't missing in every version of the Bible. Some versions include the whole passage, others include the passage, but note that it may not belong there, other versions include it in the footnotes, and yes, some versions leave it out. What you are noticing is the difference in translation philosophy and which documents they are using to translate the Bible from. The simple answer, there is evidence to raise doubt that these verses may not belong. How the Bible translator deals with this issue determines how the passage appears in their translation. The actual translation history of the Bible is a very fascinating topic to me. It is also a very in depth topic and something that doesn't lend itself to be easily explained in a short post. Brad |

253 | do u tithe on unemployment checks | 1 Tim 1:8 | BMyers | 220680 | ||
This topic has been debated here at length, so I will give you what I was taught and what I ahve seen. My father taught me to tithe on the money I earned, allowance, mowing grass, whatever it might be. At that young age, I did not like it nor did I think it was fair. Why did God need my money, He has everything? At that younger age, I was not a joyful giver. My dad ended up being laid off from his job, but he never stopped tithing and not only that, to him it was not a burden, but he was a joyful giver. Talking with him over the years, he has since explained how tight things actually were in our house during that period. Yet, we never went hungry and every time the checkbook hit zero, money came in to meet our needs. He eventually was recalled to work and has since retired and living well. Through his example of putting God first, I have learned that what I am blessed with, money, family, friends, etc., are all God's. I have turned from that joyless giver and now gladly give back to the Lord, not because He needs it, but because I want Him to have it and use my blessing to bless others. Through my trust in the Lord, He has always met my needs and He has exceedingly blessed me beyond what I deserve. Brad Php 4:19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (ESV) |

256 | Noah | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 220570 | ||
My opinion on the passage is that Ham did something wrong. We are suppose to honor our parents (Exodus 20:12 and Deuteronomy 5:16). In the NT we can see that the Jesus even mentioned honoring your parents and how the leaders of the time had corrupted this commandment (Matthew 15:3-9). Ham appears to be dishonoring his father by his behavior when he found his father drunk. In my opinion the reason he was cursed was because of his failure to honor his father. Brad |

Quick definition, a commentary is a person (or could be down by a group of people) opinion about a subject. There are numerous commentaries on the market, some good, some not so good. You have large multi-volume sets and shorter one book commentaries. Matthew Henry Commentary was written in early 1700s (I believe 1706). It is freely available online to read and review and that is why I selected it. A commentary, cannot be used to replace the Word of God, but it can help at times to bring some understanding. The Bible is the ultimate authority, the commentary is a personal opinion of the Bible. I'm trying to keep this post short, but having little luck with that. Basically, a well written commentary is a good resource to help further you Bile study, but cannot be used to replace the Bible. I have several commentaries and will refer to them once I have drawn my opinion on a passage to see how it lines up with the Bible scholars. Hope I was able to explain it well enough. Brad |

Taken from MHC: III. Ham's impudence and impiety: He saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren, v. 22. To see it accidentally and involuntarily would not have been a crime; but, 1. He pleased himself with the sight, as the Edomites looked up on the day of their brother (Obad. 12), pleased, and insulting. Perhaps Ham had sometimes been himself drunk, and reproved for it by his good father, whom he was therefore pleased to see thus overcome. Note, It is common for those who walk in false ways themselves to rejoice at the false steps which they sometimes see others make. But charity rejoices not in iniquity, nor can true penitents that are sorry for their own sins rejoice in the sins of others. 2. He told his two brethren without (in the street, as the word is), in a scornful deriding manner, that his father might seem vile unto them. It is very wrong, (1.) To make a jest of sin (Prov. xiv. 9), and to be puffed up with that for which we should rather mourn, 1 Cor. v. 2. And, (2.) To publish the faults of any, especially of parents, whom it is our duty to honour. Noah was not only a good man, but had been a good father to him; and this was a most base disingenuous requital to him for his tenderness. Ham is here called the father of Canaan, which intimates that he who was himself a father should have been more respectful to him that was his father. |
