303 | Are there any true prophets/prophetss' t | Eph 4:11 | Hank | 194642 | ||
miller521 :: If you would read post 194456 again, and this time pay attention to what it said, you will find that I didn't advance any theories, offer any opinions, promulgate any denominational biases or anything else of the sort. All I did in that post -- my single aim -- was to refer you to a passage of Scripture that is germane to the topic under discussion. So how on this green earth can you come back to me and ask me whether I am saying thus and so? Read the Scripture, miller, read the Scripture! And for goodness sake, stop interpolating in your responses what your correspondents did not say in theirs! And you would be smart to read Hebrews 1 again, again and again, paying attention to what it says and forgetting about what it does not say. This will be all you will hear from me on this thread. We are not here to argue trifles but to study Scripture. --Hank | ||||||
304 | does God intend for us to pay tithes | Malachi | Hank | 194603 | ||
Hi, Tim :: "It is easier to get people to give if they feel they must." ..... That's how the seed-faith guys operate and it must work. They seem to be doing O.K. -- bringing in the bucks anddriving Mercedes cars and living in fancy houses. I heard one of them tell his TV audience not long ago to send him their seed-faith money "right now, this very minute" -- and if they were a little short on cash, just put it on their credit cards. Unbelievable! --Hank | ||||||

Michael :: According to information published in John MacArthur's Study Bible, Paul wrote Ephesians while a prisoner in Rome sometime between A.D. 60 and 62. He wrote Titus between A. D. 62 and 64 from either Corinth or Nicopolis. --Hank | ||||||
306 | heaven(s)? | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 194550 | ||
Hello, Candy7777 :: Thanks for your very first post to Study Bible Forum and we bid you welcome. The word in Genesis 1:1 that is translated "heavens" is the Hebrew "shamayim (Strong's 8064). It can mean heaven, heavens, highest heavens, sky, horizon, etc. depending on context. Gen. 1:14 speaks of the expanse of the heavens (shamayim) and this same Hebrew word in Gen. 1:26 is translated "sky." ...... Gen. 1:16 speaks of God making the two great lights (sun and moon) and the stars and (1:17) placing them in the heavens (again, the same word, shamayim, appears in the Hebrew manuscript. ...... Thus incorporated in the Gen. 1:1 phrase, "the heavens and the earth" is a summary statement of all of God's creation, i.e., the entire universe, all things. "Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, 'I, the Lord, am the maker of all things, stretching out the heavens by Myself and spreading out the earth all alone'" (Isaiah 44:24). What a marvelous passage from Isaiah this is, a perfect complement to the majestic Genesis 1:1: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." ..... If foolish man would only believe these magnificent statements from God's word, he would have no trouble believing the rest of Scripturre nor would he waste his precious time toying around with vacuous and flimsy theories such as evolution. --Hank | ||||||
307 | getting in to the old testament | Ruth | Hank | 194537 | ||
janice :: Thanks for your question; it always warms my heart to hear from people like you who hunger and thirst for God's word. Val mentioned the books of Ruth and Esther, excellent choices both. Genesis is foundational to all Scripture, so I'd recommend begining with it. Exodus is Genesis' sequel and would be a nice choice to read next. The book of Job, one of the supremely finest pieces of writing in all literature, is a good early choice also. You might want to read a Psalm or two every day along with your other Old Testament readings. The books of Samuel and of Kings are fairly easy to get into and will give you much information. Round out your reading with the major and minor prophets and the other books you missed in your initial survey. Every serious Bible scholar I've be exposed to stresses the importance of prayer in connection with Bible study. The prayer of us all ought to be, "Open thou mine eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law" (Psalm 119:18) ...... Many people who start out -- usually on January 1 -- with the honest intention of reading the entire Old Testament do so by attempting to read straight through in order, beginning with Genesis. But, alas, so many of them get bogged down along about midway of Leviticus and there goes their New Year's resolution! Another peril that I've found unproductive is to determine to read a given number of chapters every day. I much prefer to measure my Bible reading in blocks of time, not chapters, and here's why: Some chapters demand of the reader much more than do others. If, for example, one decides he can devote an hour on any given day to reading and studying the Bible, he may find it necessary to devote the full hour to one chapter -- or even a lesser portion -- of Scripture. The object is not to skim through as many chapters as possible but to absorb as much of God's truth as possible within the time frame available. ...... So bon voyage, Janice, as you begin your sacred journey through the blessed word of God. Your rich rewards, I'm convinced, will be nothing short of amazing. --Hank | ||||||

309 | Would Jesus be considered a prophet? | Eph 4:11 | Hank | 194461 | ||
miller521 :: The Jews expected both a prophet and the Messiah, two separate and distinct persons. See John 1:20,21 and John 7:40,41. In Acts 3:22 Peter quotes from Deuteronomy 18:15,18, to wit: "For Moses truly said to the fathers, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people'" (Acts 3:22,23). ...... The application of this prophecy was to Joshua, immediate successor to Moses. Peter applied it to Christ also, giving it a double, futuristic application. When Moses said, "The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me" he did not mean likeness as to physcial traits, character or ability, but likeness in the sense of being raised up by God. He is saying that God will raise Him up as He raised me up. The point that Peter is making in Acts 3:22,23 is that the Jewish expectations of a prophet and the Messiah are both of them fulfilled in the one Person, Jesus Christ. ...... Prophet, therefore, is one of the titles of Christ that Scripture uses along with about a score of others. --Hank | ||||||

Hello, Michael :: Your note intended for starfire was directed to me. So that starfire will be alerted to your response, it will be necessary to attach your follow-up note to one of her posts. Anyway, good to hear from you. The Thompson Chain is an old stand-by and still one of the best for topical studies. I still use mine on occasion but have discovered that the older I get the more the type font size shrinks! But then I'm nearly twice your age. ......I note that you live in southern Georgia. Years ago I used to do some insurance consulting work in Georgia, chiefly in the Atlanta and Albany areas. I love your state, especially the southern part. I found the southern Georgia accent very charming. --Hank | ||||||
313 | Morning (or Day) Star: Lucifer or JESUS? | Revelation | Hank | 194268 | ||
starfire :: Hello! This note has nothing to do with the note to which it is attached but concerns your user profile, a.k.a., personal profile. In it you expressed a desire to find a study Bible with copious notes. A solid one that fits the description is John MacArthur's Study Bible. It's now available in both the New King James and the New American Standard. Of the eight study Bibles in my library, the MacArthur gets the most use. Another one you may wish to sample is the Ryrie Study Bible. It's available in the NASB also, as well as KJV and NIV. Mine is in NASB. Good to have you on SBF! --Hank | ||||||

316 | Should the church promte make up? | 1 Tim 2:9 | Hank | 194206 | ||
Felicitous salutations on this Lord's Day, John D. :: "Looking beautiful for God" by the use of make-up is clearly a new wrinkle (pun intended) in my sphere of experience! The thought that immediately came to mind upon reading your account of the emergence of this fad in your town (let's pray it's only local!), is that this practice is by no means in accord with 1 Samuel 16:7 (ESV): "But the Lord said to Samuel, 'Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart'" Nor is this silly fad in harmony with the passage you referred us to, i.e., 1 Timothy 2:9. The judicious use by a woman of various "beauty aids" is of itself not condemned by any Scripture that I know of, but the presumptuous use in order to "look beautiful for God" is pure flapdoodle, and handing out free make-up packs in church is far too ludicrous to deserve serious comment! --Hank | ||||||

canawedding :: Please, for the sake of this Forum and the good people who read the postings, please, please, please: (1) Stick with the subject, stay on topic, stop rambling all over the place. (2) Consider trading a bushel of your verbosity for a peck of lucidity. In other words, condense your posts; write more precisely; endeavor to make your posts say something and say it concisely and clearly. We are getting some negative feedback from other users who have little or no idea of what you're trying to say. Please don't waste your time or ours writing arcane posts. And, by the way, Matthew 6:33 is indeed a lovely verse of Scripture, but do you think it really necessary to weave it into virtually every post, whether or not it's germane to the issue being addressed? ...... It is hoped that you will heed this admonition and act upon it favoriably. --Hank | ||||||

319 | How Old was John? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 194137 | ||
mae68 - Your question concerns the apostle John's age when he wrote the three epistles bearing his name, as you made have clear in a subsequent post. The precise age of the apostle at the time of writing is unknown, although strong and early testimony of the church ascribes John as the author, and the date of writing circa 85-90 A.D. Consistent church tradition identifies John in his advanced age as living and writing in Ephesus in Asia Minor. Internal evidence in the three epistles supports the advanced age tradition, for he refers to his readers as "little children" and to himself as "The Elder." So it's fairly certain that John was no spring chicken when he wrote the epistles. --Hank | ||||||
320 | What does this relate to? | Gen 3:15 | Hank | 194135 | ||
Resplendent - Welcome! and thanks for your first post. .... This verse, Genesis 3:15, has long been recognized as the first messianic prophecy of the Bible. In looking over the various resources on this verse that are in my library, I favor John MacArthur's because I believe he does a fine job of exposition of this verse, clear without being hyper-technical, and I can do no better than reproduce here what Dr. MacArthur wrote as a footnote to Genesis 3:15. ..... "After cursing the physical serpent, God turned to the spiritual serpent, the lying seducer, Satan, and cursed him. This 'first gospel' is prophetic of the struggle and its outcome between 'your seed' (Satan and unbelievers, who are called the Devil's children in John 8:44) and her seed (Christ, a descendent of Eve, and those in Him), which began in the garden in the midst of the curse passage, a message of hope shone forth -- the woman's offspring called 'He' is Christ, who will one day defeat the Serpent. Satan could only 'bruise' Christ's heel (cause Him to suffer), while Christ will bruise Satan's head (destroy him with a fatal blow). Paul, in a passage strongly reminiscent of Gen. 3, encouraged the believers in Rome, 'And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly' (Romans 16:20). Believers should recognize that they participate in the crushing of Satan because, along with their Savior and because of His finished work on the cross, they also are of the woman's seed. For more on the destruction of Satan, see Heb. 2:14,15 and Rev. 20:10." ...... I do hope that this will add to your understanding of Genesis 3:15 and its significance as the greatest story every told unfolds in the greatest book ever written. --Hank | ||||||
