282 | FORUM MEMBERS: MESSAGE ABOUT POSTING | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 177400 | ||
Note to all Forum users - When you write a post, whether a question, answer or note, press the submit button ONLY ONCE. Otherwise you will create multiple entries of the same post. This is particularly confusing when you ask a question, because it usually results in more than one thread being created for the same question. This makes it difficult for even seasoned users to follow the sequence of answers and notes involving your question and well nigh impossible for newcomers to follow. So please remember, press the submit button only once and be patient while your submission is being processed. ...... PLEASE DON'T RESPOND TO THIS MESSAGE BUT LET IT STAND FOR A FEW DAYS IN ORDER TO GIVE ALL CURRENT USERS A CHANCE TO SEE IT. --Hank | ||||||

284 | educational qualifications | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 177453 | ||
Searcher - You asked "how important is the educational background" (of Bible translators)? This was in response to a question about NASB translatiors. My answer is that it is significantly important. Wouldn't you feel a little antsy about placing your confidence in the integrity of a Bible translation that had been made by a group who held correspondence-school diplomas from Ajax School of Auto Mechanics or from Kabul University in Afghanistan? I certainly would. It is important to know not only the background and educational qualifications of the translators but their convictions on a number of other vital issues as well. Things like their translation philosophy and whether they consider Scripture the infallible word of God. The quality and integrity of the translation surely reflects the quality and integrity of the translators. --Hank | ||||||

SNB3 - You do more harm to yourself than anyone else by your blatant dishonesty, lies and deception. You have been twice removed for cause from participation as an interactive member of this Study Bible Forum, yet you continue to register under different names. This is dishonest. ...... You affirm with every post that it is biblically based, is not intended as a personal attack on the authority of the Bible or an effort to foster divisiveness, ill-will, dissentions or other disruptions to this Forum. You are therefore lying to this Forum each time you post your unwanted garbage to it. ...... Moreover, you engage in deception by posting untrue and unsubstantiated opinion adverse to Christianity and urging the users of this Forum to renounce their beliefs and follow yours. ...... It is obvious that you are not a Christian believer, but have you no sense of decency about you? Have you no respect for anyone else? Have you, in fact, no self-respect? Why don't you at least act like a decent human being, stop spamming this Forum, and be on your way? If peddling your anti-Christian views is something you are bent on doing, please peddle in on a web-site that deals in such trash. We don't condone it here. --Hank | ||||||
286 | Is it disrespectful to not use a title | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 177735 | ||
Bereaniam - My pastor (Southern Baptist Church) does not use the "title" of reverend. He signs his correspondence Brother Dale, and in church bulletins he is referred to simply as pastor. If I were addressing a priest, I would not call him father, nor the pope holy father. --Hank | ||||||
287 | Is it disrespectful to not use a title | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 177738 | ||
No, I don't believe so. He is my friend as well as my pastor. In private conversations he calls me Hank and I call him Dale. He has earned my respect for him as my pastor and I let him know it. I don't see that my calling him Dale diminishes this respect in any way. Moreover, I'm nearly twenty years older than he is, so I don't feel the least awkward in calling him Dale. Calling him by any exalted title would not enchance my respect for this man of God, and calling him by his first name does not diminish it. We don't put much stock in titles in my neck of the woods. There is a saying here in the Ozarks that we don't particularly care what you call us as long as you call us when supper's ready. :-) --Hank | ||||||
288 | tongues? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 178178 | ||
Lilliesofthefield - One of the favorite expressions my mother was fond of using was this: "Let's not run this into the ground." It was her way of saying as a native of Alabama what the Lockman Foundation says to users of SBF: "Please limit to the best of your ability, the known denominational biases that produce potential strife and undue conflict. Please avoid interjecting obvious denominational biases, especially when urged by peers to cease. Otherwise, it becomes a battle of wills, and only tears down morale and causes division. If we are notified this situation is occurring, we will review it and act as necessary." ...... I've carefully reviewed your 21 posts to date, and all but about three of them are about speaking in tongues. You have been asked by your peers to cease, they having informed you that this subject has already been, in my mother's words, "run into the ground." ...... Yet, you persist to post on this divisive issue, leaving us no further remedy but to appeal to the owners of the Forum for relief from the situation your refusal to comply has put the Forum in. Should you therefore continue to resist the pleas of your fellow Forum users, the matter will be brought before Lockman and you may find yourself at risk of losing your privilege to post to SFB. We don't seek more dialogue with you on this subject, but we do respectfully ask a final time that you post on other subject or stop posting altogether. --Hank | ||||||

Bereaniam - From your continuing reports, it sounds as though the church where you worship has more problems than a giraffe with strep throat! Don't you find it difficult to function as a Christian should in such an environment where you are in a more or less constant stew about how things are going? Have you considered looking for another church? It can be done. I did it. And found one, too! It was one of the few smart things I ever did. --Hank | ||||||

293 | script on burial/ cremeation, how / why | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 179355 | ||
Lorenzo - Cremation was not the general Hebrew method of disposing of the dead, but it was not unknown to ancient Hebraic culture, particularly in the case of criminals as Joshua 7:25 attests. Morever, we find in 1 Samuel 31:12,13 and account of the citizens of Jabesh Gilead having burned the bodies of Saul and his sons. But it is of interest to note that afterwards they interred their bones. In light of the fact that the Philistines had beheaded Saul, the cremation may well have been an act on the part of the valiant men of Jabesh Gilead to hide the damage. ...... At all events, Scripture neither sanctions nor specifically forbids cremation, although we may reasonably infer that the Israelites placed a certain amount of importance on burying their dead; for example, the account (Gen. 23:2-15) of Abraham's considerable efforts to find a suitable burial site for his deceased wife Sarah, and Jacob's plea to Joseph not to bury him in Egypt (Gen. 47:29,30). --Hank | ||||||

297 | Your Favorite, Best Quality Bible? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 179582 | ||
Dear "Taur" -- You indicated that you prefer the New King James Version in a translation. Nelson has the rights on that one and in my experience Nelson makes crummy stuff when it comes to printing and bindng of their Bibles. The pages are slapped together with glue, not stitched, and they tend to come apart in chunks after a fairly short period of use. I speak from personal experience. Oxford University Press offers a good quality genuine leather edition of the Scofield in the NKJV that you might wish to look at. ...... In my estimation the New American Standard Bible (NASB), 1995 Update, is among the very finest of translations of the Scriptures in modern English that is available today. What's more, the best quality printing and binding that I've seen in any Bible at any price is the NASB single-column reference edition covered in butter-soft calfskin leather (in black or burgundy) with Smythe-sewn binding. The print is clear and bold and set in an 11-point type font that makes it easy on the eyes. The paper is of exceptional quality with no annoying "bleed through" of the pages. It has thousands of side references and copious translators' notes, along with a good-sized concordance in the back of the volume. Beautiful to look at and a pleasure to hold in one's hand, this sturdy Bible is published by Foundation, which is a not-for-profit publisher owned by the Lockman Foundation. You can expect to pay a hundred dollars or more for this Bible, but it is worth every penny! You can order a copy from American Bible Sales which can be accessed from this web site. I am not an employee of Lockman, by the way; but I do recommend this Bible. And yes, I own one of them myself and it has become my favorite of all the others on my bookshelf ! --Hank | ||||||

Valoree - Having known your correspondent Doc for some time and having had considerable exposure to his writings and his ideas, I must say that he is far more astute than you appear to give him credit for being. Moreover, in human dialogue the failure of the hearer to understand is often closely related to the failure of the speaker to communicate clearly. To a degree of which many of us are either unaware or unwilling to admit, we all of us live in glass houses and should throw stones cautiously and prudently, if indeed at all. Hank | ||||||
