301 | How literal is the Bible? | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 135692 | ||
My dear Reignhskye - This is getting out of hand, friend! When I come to the Forum lately, I find the home page covered over with nothing but your "questions." If you wish to ask a serious Bible question, ask it. But there is a significant difference between simply asking a question and attaching a book-length commentary to the question! Many other people use this Forum and I submit that it is not fair for any one user, whoever he may be, to dominate the front page with so-called questions that are as long as a giraffe's neck. To reiterate, the question section of the Forum is meant for genuine Bible questions, not long-winded dissertations. ..... Ben Franklin once advised a verbose young man of his acquaintance, "Son, take the time to write a short letter." Good advice from old Ben, don't you agree? --Hank | ||||||
302 | Info me of a good study bible, please. | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 135805 | ||
Welcome, kjdrds - I'll be happy to tell you the study Bibles I use. By the way, I'm Southern Baptist, so you'll know from what perspective I write. ..... The Study Bible I use most often is Ryrie's with the NASB Update text. Next comes John MacArthur's with the NKJV text. Others I use and recommend are the NASB Study Bible (Zondervan), the King James Study Bible (Nelson), and the Believer's Study Bible (now called Baptist Study Bible) also published by Nelson. ..... I like the Ryrie not only for its literally accurate NASB text and Charles Ryrie's excellent notes, maps, and charts but also for the beauty and quality of the binding (I have the genuine leather edition). The pages are thread sewn into the spine (as contrasted to being stuck together with glue) and the print is clear and of a generous font size that can be read for long stretches without going blind! ...... Welcome, and I do hope this little sketch will be of help to you. I'll be glad to try to answer any questions you may have regarding the content of this post. --Hank | ||||||

kjdrds - Sorry, I neglected to mention that the Ryrie Study Bible is published by Moody Press of Chicago. --Hank | ||||||

305 | my mother is disowning me | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 136671 | ||
Miss1022 - While we are not unsympathetic to your situation, we take the position that it is not in your best interests or ours to attempt to dispense advice on so delicate and personal problem as you present. You are extremely unlikely to receive wise counsel on this web site or any other on your specific problem since there are so many aspects of it that can be addressed only by a qualified counselor who has a comprehensive profile of the persons and circumstances involved. Accordingly, it is strongly recommended that you seek resolution of your problem through your pastor or other person or organization who has the know-how and experience to help resolve your domestic problem. We pray that God will guide you as you seek to restore harmony in your family. --Hank | ||||||
306 | Handling a saved sinner | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 136810 | ||
Duplicate question. | ||||||
307 | Handling a saved sinner | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 136814 | ||
DE ANDERSON - Please give your question more lucency by defining your terms "handle" and "saved sinner." And why "5 steps"? This sounds as though it could be a textbook question from a Bible course. Is it? --Hank | ||||||
308 | Handling and Saved Sinner | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 136989 | ||
DE.Anderson - Since this question is, as you say, a part of a Bible course, please don't be offended when I suggest that you apply the principle laid down by 2 Timothy 2:15 and diligently research the question yourself. There are hosts of tools available both on line and elsewhere to assist you in your research. --Hank | ||||||

juis - What these people who write sarcastic letters want most is attention. What they can't stand is being ignored. Therefore, ignore them. --Hank | ||||||
310 | what does it mean to fast | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 137439 | ||
nae-nae 04 - Kalos' post is an excellent one on this thread. If you would like some supplementary reading on biblical fasting, and can avail yourself of Holman's or Harper's Bible Dictionary, each contains fine articles under the heading "Fasting." ...... Biblical fasting always has to do with the abstinence from food and sometimes water. Fasting is not absention from sex, TV, or Scrabble! -:) --Hank | ||||||
311 | Is mastabation a sin? | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 138269 | ||
ford1266 - Scripture does not mention masturbation specifically. Many views on masturbation have been expressed on this forum and may be accessed by using Quick Search. Type in the word masturbation. --Hank | ||||||
312 | Can Satin read our minds?Chaser. | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 138617 | ||
Scripture presents no evidence that God ever empowered Satan with mind-reading capabilities. Satan is a created angel who incurred the judgment of God by rebelling against his Creator (Isaiah 14:12-17; Ezekiel 28:11-19). Omniscience is an attribute of God alone, never of man or angels, the fruit of His creation. --Hank | ||||||
313 | Theoretical Question | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 139733 | ||
Salvation is wholly of God, the gift of God by grace through faith and has always been so. It has never depended on time, place, works, circumstances, or anything else. See Ephesians 2:8,9; Hebrews 11. --Hank | ||||||
314 | Is the Amplified bible the same as KJ | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 141900 | ||
The words are different between the KJV and the Amplified Bible in many passages, but the meaning is essentially the same. By and large the same thing can be said of all responsible translations of the Bible. So-called parallel Bibles in which two or more translations are printed side by side give one a good idea of how a thought can be expressed using different words and different locutions. The idea behind the Amplified Bible is to try to convey to English-speaking peoples the shades of meaning -- the nuances -- that are inherent in the ancient languages of Hebrew and Greek, hence to "amplify" (increase, magnify, augment or illustrate) the meaning of the original words, idioms and other syntactical rules of the ancient languages. The Amplified Bible is fun to read. It lends itself well to private reading and study, but it can be confusing and clumsy when read aloud by one person to another or to a group. --Hank | ||||||
315 | Suicide.....Hell or no. | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 142870 | ||
The question of whether suicide is an unforgivable sin to the truly regenerate believer hinges on whether the doctrine of the eternal security of the believer is sound. Concerning his salvation, it does not matter how an unregenerate person dies; if he dies in his sins he faces sure condemnation. If a regenerated believer is capable of sinning (and the Bible through precept and example teaches that he is), there is no earthly reason to think that he who is capable of killing his brother is incapable of doing the same thing to himself. I have never known, nor I have I ever been exposed to a description in the Scriptures, of any child of God whose life on earth was one of uninterrputed sweetness and light. Followers of Christ are not perfect; they are not immune to the troubles that all flesh is heir to; they are not, through spiritual regeneration, rendered incapable of committing sin. The taking of one's life is murder; it is a sin, but it is no more unforgivable than any other sin. When a penitent sinner comes to Christ, he is forgiven of all sin and born anew -- regenerated and sealed by the Holy Spirit of God for the day of redemption (Eph. 4:30; Eph. 1:13; 1 Cor. 1:22). How "sure and steadfast" (see Hebrews 6:19) is the believer's hope whose salvation is so irresolute that it hangs on whether the believer can confess fast enough to keep ahead of his sins? Does confession save him? ...... To teach that the regenerate believer is incapable of suicide is tantamount to teaching that he is incapable of all sin, and that is not a biblical doctrine. And to teach that a regenerate believer has no forgiveness for his suicide is tantamount to teaching that the blood of Christ is insufficient to cleanse him from all sin (See 1 John 1:7) --Hank | ||||||

317 | ESV Reformation Study Bible? | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 143875 | ||
Marathon-man 1025 - If you are a five-pointer who embraces Reformed theology with brio, and if you like the ESV -- which is a slightly revised edition of the RSV -- chances are you will feel at home with the Reformation Study Bible. On the other hand, if TULIP is not your favorite flower, you may want to consider another variety. :-) Reformers by and large give this study Bible an enthusiastic thumbs up. Arminians and other assortments of non-Calvinists appear considerably less inclined to view it with unbridled enthusiasm. --Hank | ||||||
318 | which versions use which manuscripts? | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 144237 | ||
anyad - It's always a delight to welcome a new user to Study Bible Forum. A web site that may help you slake your thirst for more information on Bible manuscripts/texts is as follows: http://www.foundationsforfreedom.net/Topics/Bible/Bible_Reliability.html ..... I found the article delightful. I hope you like it too. You may want to explore more offerings of this site while you're there. --Hank | ||||||
319 | How do I help a non-Christian family? | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 144244 | ||
Jaynie - My first response is to communicate to you how deeply saddened I always am to hear of heart-breaking human conditions such as the one you describe. I know that it presents a monumental challenge to your resources and those of your study group to wrestle with it. And you all will be in my prayers tonight I assure you. ...... It is not within the purview of Study Bible Forum or its participants to dispense specific advice in matters of this nature for a number of reasons, none of which reflects our unwillingness to be of help, but does reflect the fact that we are not professional counselors, and thusly we freely admit to our inability to analyze the situation properly, especially on a forum such as this, and to give the kind of professional help that is clearly indicated by your description of this situation. Accordingly, I would suggest that you, as a relative of the family, contact the parents first and beg them to seek professional help for their daughter. You might also inquire in your community in regard to what professional resources may be available to render assistance. Perhaps your pastor may be able to help in some way. At all events, your niece direly needs the kind of medical/spiritual/psychological help that can only be administered by a trained professional. I do pray that God will guide you and that your efforts will bear good fruit. --Hank | ||||||
