282 | Born under the law of Moses | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 218028 | ||
Yes, Alex, thank you, I did read it. All that is well enough, concerning the Old Covenant. The word love is indeed found in the middle of a list, and indeed all Scripture is inspired by God, but we must not be pedantic about the order of His commandments because of that, God Himself -in the New Covenant- defines and places the order of things concerning His commandments. The order He put them in on that particular list I'm sure means something, but not that loving God is somehow in the middle just because it appears that way on that list. The Scripture is repeated three times in the New Testament that, Loving God is the first and foremost commandment, that has to mean more, much more then being found once on that particular list in the Old Testament.

Hi Alex, By the way, welcome to the forum! Just some of my thoughts on the order of the list found in Deut 10:12-13 1) Fear: The fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom. Ps 111:10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever." I don't personally believe that someone who doesn't fear God can ever come to a saving faith in or knowledge of Him, so it seems well placed on the list for that reason. 2) Walk: To walk in his ways means to me that, when we repent -you may say the first step to salvation- we walk in a different direction then we were walking when we were lost. Instead of walking away from God, we now walk toward Him. Mark 1:15; Acts 2:37-39. For that reason, I think it is well placed on the list. 3) Love: Love, I believe, is the proper response for our knowledge of being saved, for who can rightly consider being saved and not Love God for the gift of Christ's suffering on the cross for our sins. The Holy and righteous Jesus, the Lamb of God, suffered and was sacrificed in our place, for our wretched souls, that were destined for hell were it not for His wonderful grace, and loving mercy. For that reason, I think it is well placed on the list. 4) Serve: What other response can or should be expected from us, in consideration for what we have received from Him. Eternal life, joy, peace, honoring enjoying and glorifying Him forever, in return for faith, John 3:16. What a profound pleasure it is to serve a God who has been so gracious to us undeserving sinners. For that reason, I think it is well placed on the list. 5) Keep: Keeping his first and foremost command to love Him, and indeed, to serve Him, becomes more and more a pleasure the more we get to know and love Him. And for that reason, I believe it is well placed on the list. Just my two cents. :-) John |

286 | Is this law still binding? If so, how? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 218120 | ||
Dear 5282, Welcome to the forum! Very well said! Especially the part about consideration for womankind, and how a loving husband should respect his wife as a weaker vessel and to show her respect and kindness during her time. It truly makes me sad that such a question is asked in the first place. Perhaps I'm going to be viewed as prudish, but in my opinion, it shows just how far humans are form godly grace toward one another. John |

287 | why kill everyone if you a God of love? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 218171 | ||
Very well said, CDBJ, I have wondered what the world would look like today, if they had simply obeyed God. Of course if man had it in him to obey, we wouldn't have needed Jesus, the only one who ever did truly obey. Thanks brother! John |

289 | Why read the bible? What scriptures | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 218277 | ||
Hi wbrady, There are no Scriptures whatsoever that refer to reading any particular translation of the Bible. The KJV is a wonderful and beautifully written version but there is no rule of Scripture that tells us which one to read. We here at SBF probably most often use the NASB. I also like to use the ESV study Bible, (that's the one I use at Church) the NASB and the ESV are my favorite versions, both good versions in my opinion. I also own a few KJV's, a few NKJV's, an NIV study Bible, and an NASB study Bible. I like em all for different reasons. John |

Homework? Welcome Barbara. Hmm... Was there a controversy? You should try reading about in your reading assignment. Then, Barbara, if you have some specific questions, we would be happy to help you. John p.s. you could try goggling "Paul's controversy" but be careful, you need to read what it says in the Bible first, so you are not mislead. |

299 | "Holy" - position or quality? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 219046 | ||
Hi Curmudgeon, Thats an interesting user name. Are you a Curmudgeon? If so this may not be the place for you. We actually prefer people who are not ill-tempered, difficult, cantankerous or full of resentment and stubborn notions. So I would certainly hope the name is just being used in jest. :-) Welcome to the forum, by the way. :-) To your question: I'd say the person who said that holiness is positional and qualitative would be correct. Here is something from Easton's Bible Dictionary that I hope will clear it up for you. Holiness, in the highest sense belongs to God (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 15:4), and to Christians as consecrated to God's service, and in so far as they are conformed in all things to the will of God (Romans 6:19, 22; Ephesians 1:4; Titus 1:8; 1 Peter 1:15). Personal holiness is a work of gradual development. It is carried on under many hindrances, hence the frequent admonitions to watchfulness, prayer, and perseverance (1 Corinthians 1:30; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Ephesians 4:23, 24) John |
