2921 | What is the sin that IS forgivable? | Ex 20:13 | kalos | 4024 | ||
P.S. The question I have repeatedly tried in vain to answer is not: "Is suicide a sin?" Or "Is suicide forgiven?" I have been addressing the single issue: "Is suicide the unforgivable sin?" Guess what, folks. "Unforgiven" and "unforgivable" are two different words with two different meanings. If we can't even agree on the meaning of commonly used English words, we're certainly not ready to debate the issues. | ||||||

2924 | chcking scripture context | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 3936 | ||
Reading the verses (paragraph) before and after the passage you are studying is indeed what it means to consider the passage in its context. Additionally, you may want to consider who wrote the book, to whom was he writing, what was the current or local situation of the person or people to whom he was writing. Is he addressing Jews, gentiles, the church of God? Was the author addressing a particular issue, and, if so, what was that issue? . . . Additionally, always remember and apply the following basic rule of interpretation. Note that although John MacArthur comments on it, this principle is centuries old and was not originated by John MacArthur. What I mean is that this principle has been known to and followed by earnest students of the Bible for centuries. It is not the exclusive intellectual property of any one man or one denomination. I chose the MacArthur quote because it defines so well the principle. . . . John MacArthur writes: "One of the basic principles of biblical interpretation is the *analogia scriptura*, the analogy of Scripture. In other words, we must compare Scripture with Scripture in order to understand its full and proper sense. And SINCE THE BIBLE DOESN'T CONTRADICT ITSELF, ANY INTERPRETATION OF A SPECIFIC PASSAGE THAT CONTRADICTS THE GENERAL TEACHING OF THE BIBLE IS TO BE REJECTED." (Emphasis by capitalization is mine.) |

2929 | The number one third? | Rev 8:7 | kalos | 3882 | ||
Dear Reformedreader: Sir, I have followed your postings with pleasure. I have a great deal of respect for you and your writings. So, please do not think that my intent here is to be argumentative or in any way unpleasant. It is just that you write something whose meaning is not clear to me. You write: 'Could either of you state why the word "earth" must be translated as "people"?' . . . Below is quoted Rev 8:7 and the question and answer regarding it. Neither in Rev 8:7 nor in the postings of Gomar or Shelly does the word "people" appear. Therefore it is unclear -- to what do you refer when you ask the above question regarding the word "people"? -------------------------------------------------------- . . . Revelation 8:7 The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. . . . Question: I understand the number seven in scripture signifies perfection and completion. Can anyone tell me the significance of the number one third in this verse and some of the following verses? . . . Answer: My Life Application Bible Notes says: Since only one-third of the earth is destroyed by these trumpet judgments, this is only a partial judgment from God. His full wrath is yet to be unleashed. |

2930 | Textual evidence from Genesis 6:4 | Gen 6:4 | kalos | 3878 | ||
There is but one sentence in your question that I am uncertain as to the meaning. You write, "And Moses could not have written the book of Job since he (who is he--Moses or Job?) was long since dead (Deut. 34) at the time of Job." If you mean Moses was long since dead at the time of Job, that is the part I don't understand. Please note the following: . . . 1) The events recorded in the book suggest a time frame early in the second millennium (approx. 2000) B.C. So Job could have been a contemporary of Abraham and, if so, would have lived 500 years before the time of Moses (which was approx. 1500 B.C). . . . 2) Scholars have placed the date when the book was written anywhere from the time of Moses (which could not be true IF Moses preceded Job) to the return of the Jews from the Babylonian exile. In all probability a date around the age of Solomon is preferable. (See p. 691, Harper Study Bible, Zondervan, 1991.) |

Mark 13:32 NASB "But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." . . . Matt 24:36 NASB "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." . . . Matt 24:42-44 NASB "Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will." . . . Matt 25:13 NASB "Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour." |

2933 | Mrk16:17/Act2:11 what's the difference | Mark 16:17 | kalos | 3871 | ||
Mark 16:9-20, including v. 17. "Serious doubt exists as to whether these verses belong to the Gospel of Mark. They are absent from important early manuscripts and display certain peculiarities of vocabulary, style and theological content that are unlike the rest of Mark. His Gospel probably ended at 16:8, or its original ending has been lost" (p. 1455, Zondervan NASB Study Bible, Zondervan, 1999) | ||||||

2935 | Sons of God cannot be angels in Gen 6:4 | Gen 6:4 | kalos | 3864 | ||
Nolan, your answer is a very reasonable, well thought out one. The following is in no way intended as a criticism of you or your writing. . . . My problem is with all the endless debate over this verse, a verse that doesn't have a thing in the world to do with the doctrine of Christ, Salvation or anything else that has any impact on our daily lives. Under questions on Gen 6:4, I counted 29 postings since Feb. 27, 2001. . . . I point this out only as an example of the many questions that have been debated to death on this Forum. People at the Forum have a real knack for asking questions for which no clear verse of Scripture exists to provide an answer. That may be kicks for some, but how are we edified, how are we benefited, by all this idle coffee shop chatter? . . . Surely we can find questions that do have a Biblical answer. Does EVERY question have to be highly controversial and speculative in nature? It would be nice for a change if we at the Forum would address questions that do have an answer. Questions that do not divide people. . . . I'm not totally against controversial topics, but do we have to major on them? Is that the main reason this Forum exists -- to argue, insinuate, insult, and criticize one another? (Again, Nolan, none of this is directed at you personally or at the reply you gave re the question on Gen 6:4.) |

2936 | He who comes first shall come last, | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 3863 | ||
Could you cite book, chapter and verse for the [indirect] quotation in your question? (I don't believe you will find the word "come(s)" in the Bible verse.) Explaining the meaning of a loosely paraphrased verse not actually found in the Bible does present certain problems. | ||||||
2937 | Law keeping brings Spirit baptism? | 1 Pet 3:21 | kalos | 3845 | ||
1 Cor 12:13 NASB "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." | ||||||
2938 | But the older NASB did. Why? | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 3828 | ||
This is the only authoritative (documented) answer I was able to find. "'Thou,' 'Thee' and 'Thy' are not used in this [1977] translation except in the language of prayer when addressing Deity" (p. x, Explanation of General Format of the New American Standard Bible (copyright 1977), Ryrie Study Bible, Moody, 1976, 1978). . . . I suggest you email the Lockman Foundation directly and ask them your question. |

It doesn't. A new expanded and updated edition came out in 1995, an update that drops the thees, thous and thys. | ||||||
2940 | Where is Plan of Salvation Found? | Isaiah | kalos | 3802 | ||
The first answer that comes to mind is John 3, especially verses 1-21. John 3:1-21 emphasizes that Jesus is the Messiah and Son of God and that He came to offer salvation to people. In this chapter Jesus Himself presented God's plan of salvation to Nicodemus. Additionally, John 3:16 has often been referred to as the Gospel in a nutshell. . . . I hasten to add, I do not say John 3 is the one right answer. It is merely *my* answer to the question "What chapter would YOU select...?" |
