281 | What is the Hebrew-English | Job | BradK | 233974 | ||
Hello heman, If I may pause for a moment to comment. With all due respect, you're going in circles, having created a "Red Herring" out of the translation of one single verse. Regarding Job 27:1, the NASB reads: "Then Job continued his discourse and said," The ESV reads similar, "And Job again took up his discourse, and said:" So, what do we do with these? These are all legitimate translations of this verse! Translating 'mashal' as parable or discourse has no material bearing as to whether this book is literal! Does it? Job here is speaking- hence he 'continued his parable' (discourse). The section in which this is contained (Chaps. 3-37) could be termed the debates of Job. The entire book is in no way just a "parable". As far as I'm concerned this issue has hit a dead-end! Unless you can clarify yourself and better explain why you're persisting with this point, I think it's time to move on! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

282 | Can angels sing? | Job 38:7 | BradK | 177548 | ||
Hi aj, One of the facts about angels is that they display joy. Job 38:7 says "When the morning stars sang together And all the sons of God shouted for joy?" Luke 2:13 "And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying..." From the verse in Job we can say there appears to be scriptural evidence to support your view. I hope this helps, BradK |

283 | Did bible mention about dinosours? | Job 40:15 | BradK | 169842 | ||
Hi Figoyuen, Although the Bible does not specifically mention dinosaurs, the Book of "Job is the only biblical book to refer to what may have been dinosaur (Hebrew “behemoth” and “Leviathan,” 40:15; 41:1)." [Willmington, H.L- Wilmington's Bible Handbook] I hope this helps, BradK |

284 | ... | Job 40:15 | BradK | 217255 | ||
Hello jbaker, One should always be careful about expounding "theories" not directly supported or founded in scripture! With that said, "Job is the only biblical book to refer to what may have been dinosaurs (Hebrew “behemoth” and “Leviathan,” 40:15; 41:1)". [H. L. Willmington, Willmington's Bible Handbook] Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

285 | Is Jesus Angry everyday? | Ps 7:11 | BradK | 181687 | ||
Hello shing, We know that God is Holy and cannot look upon sin. Which is why we read in Ps. 7:11 that, "God is a just judge, And God is angry (with the wicked) every day." (NKJV) I don't find any scripture that states "Jesus is angry every day". Why do you ask this question? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

286 | Dissapointment in this sites response... | Ps 16:11 | BradK | 199775 | ||
Dear FHLP, Your age belies your response. If you have truly sought the Lord in this matter through prayer, is it possible that the initial response was directed by Him? Remember, there is wisdom in a multitude of counselors (Prov. 15:22). I'm concerned as a parent of 2 teens, that you as a believer have such a strong interest in what the Bible says about oral sex! "...hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Rom. 5:5) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

287 | Do you believe in God? If so, then why? | Ps 19:1 | BradK | 158122 | ||
Dear agnostic, I believe in God, and His son, the Lord Jesus Christ, because the revelation about Them given in the Bible is undeniably true! He has revealed Himself to me is such a real way, that I cannot deny! My life has been changed 180 degrees by my relationship to the Lord. I cannot account for this by mere chance, coincidence, or personal effort. It is by the grace of God alone that I live. I hope this helps, BradK |

289 | help with 23rd Psalm | Ps 23:1 | BradK | 168466 | ||
Hi Fred, Here are some suggestions: 1. Read and re-read the 23rd Psalm yourself several times; 2. Ask yourself "what is the main point?"; 3. What would a 6-12 Yr Old relate to? My daughters' NIV Adventure Bible gives a couple illustrations. What God is Like. God is like a shepherd. A shepard cares and loves for his sheep. He watches them closely, protects them from danger, and makes sure they have enough to eat and drink. To say God is our shepherd means that He watches over us and will show us what is best for us. God is My Shepherd. On a large piece of poster board make a Psalm 23 mural. Use strips of green paper for grass, tin foil for the quiet water, and cotton balls for the sheep. Draw in a shepherd and put a twig in his hand for a shepherds staff. Most of all, make it fun and involve them. Ask them questions about the Psalm. I trust this will help, BradK |

290 | What are Heads, gates and ancient doors? | Ps 24:7 | BradK | 181412 | ||
Hello cognute, C.H.Spurgeon, from his Treasury of David gives these insights: "Ver. 7. These last verses reveal to us the great representative man, who answered to the full character laid down, and therefore by his own right ascended the holy hill of Zion. Our Lord Jesus Christ could ascend into the hill of the Lord because his hands were clean and his heart was pure, and if we by faith in him are conformed to his image we shall enter too. We have here a picture of our Lord's glorious ascent. We see him rising from amidst the little group upon Olivet, and as the cloud receives him, angels reverently escort him to the gates of heaven. The ancient gates of the eternal temple are personified and addressed in song by the attending cohorts of rejoicing spirits. "Lo his triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay. Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates; Ye everlasting doors, give way." They are called upon "to lift up their heads, "as though with all their glory they were not great enough for the All glorious King. Let all things do their utmost to honour so great a Prince; let the highest heaven put on unusual loftiness in honour of the King of Glory. He who, fresh from the cross and the tomb, now rides through the gates of the New Jerusalem is higher than the heavens; great and everlasting as they are, those gates of pearl are all unworthy of him before whom the heavens are not pure, and who charges his angels with folly. Lift up your heads, O ye gates." "Ver. 7. Lift up your heads, O ye gates. The gates of the temple were indeed as described, very lofty and magnificent, in proportion to the gigantic dimensions of that extraordinary edifice. But the phrase, Lift up your heads, refers not so much to their loftiness, as to the upper part being formed so as to be lifted up; while the under portion opened in folding doors. [Robert Jamieson, in "Paxton's Illustrations of Scriptures]." I trust this will be of help, BradK |

291 | psalms 25:1-3 hope and trust | Ps 25:1 | BradK | 169147 | ||
Hi doall64, In understanding what soul means, we can look at the word used. The Hebrew word is nephesh. It conveys the idea of: soul, self, life, creature, person, appetite, mind, living being, desire, emotion, passion. It further denotes the living being (with life in the blood), the man himself, self, person or individual. Again, from Treasury of David, Spurgeon notes: "Ver. 1. Unto thee, O Lord. See how the holy soul flies to its God like a dove to its cote. When the storm winds are out, the Lord's vessels put about and make for their well remembered harbour of refuge. What a mercy that the Lord will condescend to hear our cries in time of trouble, although we may have almost forgotten him in our hours of fancied prosperity. Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul. It is but a mockery to uplift the hands and the eyes unless we also bring our souls into our devotions. True prayer may be described as the soul rising from earth to have fellowship with heaven; it is taking a journey upon Jacob's ladder, leaving our cares and fears at the foot, and meeting with a covenant God at the top. Very often the soul cannot rise, she has lost her wings, and is heavy and earth bound; more like a burrowing mole than a soaring eagle. At such dull seasons we must not give over prayer, but must, by God's assistance, exert all our powers to lift up our hearts. Let faith be the lever and grace be the arm, and the dead lump will yet be stirred. But what a lift it has sometimes proved! With all our tugging and straining we have been utterly defeated, until the heavenly loadstone of our Saviour's love has displayed its omnipotent attractions, and then our hearts have gone up to our Beloved like mounting flames of fire."

292 | remember to my sins, remember your comp | Ps 25:7 | BradK | 169145 | ||
Hi doall64, Remember, God is God. David is not seeking Him to use selective memory in the sense that we would understand it. C.H. Spurgeon comments on this verse in his Treasury of David: "Ver. 7. Remember not the sins of my youth. Sin is the stumbling block. This is the thing to be removed. Lord, pass an act of oblivion for all my sins, and especially for the hot blooded wanton follies of my younger years. Those offences which we remember with repentance God forgets, but if we forget them, justice will bring them forth to punishment. The world winks at the sins of younger men, and yet they are none so little after all; the bones of our youthful feastings at Satan's table will stick painfully in our throats when we are old men. He who presumes upon his youth is poisoning his old age. How large a tear may wet this page as some of us reflect upon the past! Nor my transgressions. Another word for the same evils. Sincere penitents cannot get through their confessions at a gallop; they are constrained to use many bemoanings, for their swarming sins smite them with so innumerable griefs. A painful sense of any one sin provokes the believer to repentance for the whole mass of his iniquities. Nothing but the fullest and clearest pardon will satisfy a thoroughly awakened conscience. David would have his sins not only forgiven, but forgotten. According to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O Lord. David and the dying thief breathe the same prayer, and doubtless they grounded it upon the same plea, viz., the free grace and unmerited goodness of Jehovah. We dare not ask to have our portion measured from the balances of justice, but we pray to be dealt with by the hand of mercy." The Tyndale Concise Bible Commentary says that, "David was actually praying, “In keeping with your reputation for grace and compassion, forgive my sin." I hope this helps, BradK |

293 | What does Psalm 36:11 mean? | Ps 36:11 | BradK | 207141 | ||
Hello preciouspup3766, Welcome to the Forum. The NASB reads, "Let not the foot of pride come upon me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away." C.H. Spurgeon, from his 'Treasury of David' offers this: "Let not the foot of pride come against me. The general prayer is here turned into a particular and personal one for himself. Pride is the devil's sin. Good men may well be afraid of proud men, for the serpent's seed will never cease to bite the heel of the godly. Fain would proud scoffers spurn the saints or trample them under foot: against their malice prayer lifts up her voice. No foot shall come upon us, no hand shall prevail against us, while Jehovah is on our side. Let not the hand of the wicked remove me. Suffer me not to be driven about as a fugitive, nor torn from my place like an uprooted tree. Violence with both hand and foot, with means fair and means foul, strove to overthrow the psalmist, but he resorts to his great Patron, and sings a song of triumph in anticipation of the defeatof his foes." I hope this helps, BradK |

299 | Born Sinners? | Ps 51:5 | BradK | 150863 | ||
Hi jesusfreak, I'll give you 2 quick references: 1. Ps. 51:5 "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me." 2. Romans 5:12 says,"Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned." This is often referred to as original sin. "Original sin” is frequently and properly used to denote only the moral corruption of their whole nature inherited by all men from Adam. This inherited moral corruption consists in, (1) the loss of original righteousness; and (2) the presence of a constant proneness to evil, which is the root and origin of all actual sin." [Easton, M. G., M. A. D. D] I hope this helps, BradK |

300 | Is depravity inherent at conception? | Ps 51:5 | BradK | 191021 | ||
Hello Restate, The doctrine of Original Sin is well founded within Orthodoxy. Ps 51:5 states: "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me." In the NT, we have Eph. 2:3- "Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest". Though I haven't read it in it's entirety, Jonathan Edward's work, "THE GREAT CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE OF ORIGINAL SIN, DEFENDED" would be highly recommended and valuable. I hope that helps, BradK |
