3061 | How does one read the Bible?? | Rev 1:3 | kalos | 183520 | ||
2007 mouse: To start with, focus on reading the Bible for familiarization. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. I would recommend that you read the Bible through in order to get a good overview and to become more familiar with its content. Don't feel you have to stop and look up every word and every verse. Just read it for now. Good read-the-Bible-in-a-year schedules are available on the web and elsewhere. In lieu of a printed schedule, if you read three chapters of the OT and one chapter of the NT per day, you can read the Bible through within a year. Or you may find it preferable to take two years. Either way, I would start by reading the Bible through. Of course, you can begin reading the Bible in any edition you choose. I would just like to mention a helpful book and two related websites designed to facilitate the reading of the Bible in one year. The title of the book is The One Year Bible. For more information visit one or both of these websites: www.oneyearbibleonline.com or www.oneyearbibleblog.com Where to begin? 'For a basic introduction to Christ and Christianity read: 'Mark, John, Acts and Romans. 'To get an overview of the Bible read these books in this order: 'Genesis, Exodus (chapters 1-20), Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, Ezra, Nehemia, Esther, Mark and Acts.' (Quick Start: Reader's Guide to God's Word, GOD'S WORD Version, World Publishing, 1995) The more specific the question, the more specific the answer is likely to be. When you ask "How does one read the Bible?", it is difficult to know exactly what you have in mind. Are you asking where does one start, how should one interpret the Bible, which translation is recommended, or what? If you have further questions or desire help in any way many of us on the Forum would be happy to provide more information. Grace and peace, John |

3062 | extra phrase (...beginning and the end) | Rev 1:8 | kalos | 164765 | ||
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,”[33] says the Lord God – the one who is, and who was, and who is still to come – the All-Powerful! (Rev. 1:8 New English Translation) [Footnote 33] 'The shorter reading “Omega”...has superior manuscript evidence...to the longer reading which includes “the beginning and the end”...There is little reason why a scribe would have deleted the words, but their clarifying value and the fact that they harmonize with [Rev.] 21:6 indicate that they are a secondary addition to the text.' ____________________ www.bible.org/netbible/rev1.htm |

3063 | WHEN DID SATAN TAKE KEYS OF HEAVEN | Rev 1:18 | kalos | 26823 | ||
How do you "KNOW THAT CHRIST WENT TO HELL TO GET THE KEYS TO HEAVEN FROM SATAN"? "WHEN DID SATAN TAKE POSSESSION TO THE KEYS OF HEAVEN?" is an interesting question. Do you have one or more plain verses of Scripture that show that Christ went to hell to get the keys or that Satan had ever taken possession of the keys? |

3064 | what are the names of the keys of the kg | Rev 1:18 | kalos | 42627 | ||
In the entire King James Version of the Bible, the word "key" appears in 6 verses. The word "keys" appears in 2 verses. Thus, "key" and "keys" appear a total of 8 times in the KJV. This is ALL the Bible has to say about key(s). Jud 3:25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth. Isa 22:22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. Lu 11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. Re 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; Re 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. Re 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. Mt 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Re 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. |

Did Christ take back the keys? Nowhere in the Bible is there a clear verse of Scripture to indicate that Christ TOOK BACK any keys or that Satan had possession of keys. In the entire King James Version of the Bible, the word "key" appears in 6 verses. The word "keys" appears in 2 verses. Thus, "key" and "keys" appear a total of 8 times in the KJV. The following is ALL the Bible has to say about key(s): Jud 3:25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.

'Still, Copeland insists "Satan conquered Jesus on the Cross and took His spirit to the dark regions of hell" (emphasis in original).71 Copeland's description of Christ's ordeal in hell is nothing short of chilling: "He [Jesus] allowed the devil to drag Him into the depths of hell....He allowed Himself to come under Satan's control...every demon in hell came down on Him to annihilate Him....They tortured Him beyond anything anybody had ever conceived. For three days He suffered everything there is to suffer."72 'The situation seemed hopeless, as Jesus' "emaciated, poured out, little, wormy spirit is down in the bottom of that thing; and the devil thinks he's got Him destroyed."73 However, Copeland explains that "Satan fell into the trap. He took Him [Jesus] into hell illegally. He carried Him in there [when] He did not sin."74 God found the opening He needed: "That Word of the living God went down into that pit of destruction and charged the spirit of Jesus with resurrection power! Suddenly His twisted, death-wracked spirit began to fill out and come back to life....Jesus was born again - the firstborn from the dead the Word calls Him - and He whipped the devil in his own backyard."75 'Copeland's account, vivid though it may be, is not in the Bible. It misuses the phrase "firstborn from the dead" (Col. 1:18) to bolster the "born again Jesus" doctrine. Actually, the term "firstborn" (Greek: prototokos) primarily denotes primacy, headship, and preeminence. And the phrase itself points to Christ's supremacy "over all creation" (v. 15) in general and those who will be raised from the dead in particular (alluding to Christ's bodily resurrection - not some spiritual resuscitation in hell). 'Moreover, Jesus was not dragged into hell by Satan, but instead committed His spirit to the Father (Luke 23:46) and went directly to paradise (v. 43). Nor was He tortured by a host of demons; He triumphed "over them by the cross" (Col. 2:15). Jesus paid for humanity's sin in full (Greek: tetelestai) at the cross (John 19:30) - not by becoming a satanic being, but through His physical sacrifice (Heb. 10:10; Col. 1:22). ____________________ To read more, including extensive footnotes, go to: (www.equip.org/free/DC755-2.htm) |

3068 | Can you tell me where was jesus for thos | Rev 1:18 | kalos | 144790 | ||
'Where did Christ’s spirit go between his death and resurrection? 'Christ’s soul and spirit undoubtedly went directly into the presence of the Father. This is suggested by the fact that (1) His work on the cross paid the full price for our redemption; His substitutionary work was finished, and (2) by the fact that He told the thief, “Today you will be with me in paradise,” a reference to the abode of the righteous dead and which may be a synonym for heaven.' ____________________ www.bible.org/docs/qa/default.asp |

"The question here is to determine what Paul meant by the lower parts of the earth." (In saying, "He ascended," what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth? [10] He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) Ephes. 4:9-10 (ESV) 'More problematic still is Ephesians 4:9,10 where Paul writes: 'Now this expression, "He ascended," what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all heavens, that He might fill all things. 'The question here is to determine what Paul meant by the lower parts of the earth. 'Paul explains that Christ "ascended far above all the heavens" and contrasts that to His having "descended into the lower parts of the earth." Many feel this may simply be a reference to His incarnation (i.e., His descent to earth) and that it is simply a dramatic comparison of the lowliness of earth in comparison to His high heavenly home (Cf. Isaiah 44:23 for another reference to the "lower parts of the earth" indicating, poetically, the earth itself). Others hold that the reference is to Christ's humiliation in enduring death. (There is a third view -- that Christ did descend to hell in order to make a proclamation -- but we will examine that as we look at the next passage in question.)' 'When turning to the Scriptures, however, a certain ambiguity again arises. The idea that Christ "descended into hell" finds its basis on a small group of passages, all of which appear to open up a variety of views or interpretations. 'Perhaps the clearest reference is found in Acts 2:24-32 (Cf. Psalm 16:10-11 and Acts 13:34-37). Peter, preaching, quotes a prophetic Psalm and goes on to explain that Christ was not "abandoned to Hades" (2:31). As noted scholar A.T. Robertson points out, "Hades is the unseen world, Hebrew Sheol . . . It does not mean the place of punishment, though both heaven and the place of torment are in Hades (Luke 16:23). 'Death and Hades are strictly parallel terms: he who is dead is in Hades' (Page)."[xxxix] Therefore, the most that can be legitimately concluded from this reference is that not only did our Lord's identification with mankind lead to His death on the cross, but He subsequently experienced that which any man would (i.e., the separation of soul and body). 'In Romans 10:6,7, Paul quotes a passage from Deuteronomy that some take as referring to a "descent into hell" by Christ. However, it also appears as though this reference is simply alluding to Christ's death. 'Commenting on the seventh verse -- 'Who will descend into the abyss?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead), R.C.H. Lenski comments: '"Abyss" is the extreme opposite of "heaven." Paul himself indicates in what sense he uses this term, namely as referring to Christ's death and resurrection . . . The reference is to Christ's resurrection, to His going down into the abyss of death and the grave and His being brought up from the dead in his glorious resurrection.[xl] 'Apparently, then, these two references most-likely refer to Christ's death, and not a three-day visit in hell as the "Faith" teachers believe. (...) 'Whatever the interpretation held, it is clear that this passage is hardly a substantial basis for teaching that Jesus Christ descended to hell as a mortal man to be tortured by the devil.' _______________ The above is an excerpt from a longer article.

3070 | Where in the bible does it say that Jesu | Rev 1:18 | kalos | 147842 | ||
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Jesus went to hell to retrieve the keys to death or hell or the grave. I don't know where people get this idea, but they do not get it from the text of the Bible. Even in Revelation 1:18 where the word keys ("the keys of death and of Hades") is used, it does not say that: Christ WENT TO HELL or that he TOOK BACK KEYS or that he took back anything from SATAN or that Satan at any time HAD CUSTODY of any keys. In the entire King James Version of the Bible, the word "key" appears in 6 verses. The word "keys" appears in 2 verses. Thus, "key" and "keys" appear a total of 8 times in the KJV. |

3075 | stars-lampstands and churches | Rev 1:20 | kalos | 141537 | ||
As to the hidden meaning (the mystery) of the seven stars which you saw on My right hand and the seven lampstands of gold: the seven stars are the seven angels (messengers) of the seven assemblies (churches) and the seven lampstands are the seven churches. (AMPLIFIED Revelation 1:20 ) As often happens when we have a question, we can find the answer in the Bible by merely continuing to read in the same chapter. |
||||||
3076 | What do the seven candles represent? | Rev 1:20 | kalos | 188961 | ||
Question: What do the 7 candles stand for in the church today? An answer: I was unable to find the word “candles” in the book of Revelation in the King James Version. If you are referring to the candlesticks in Revelation chapter 1, then the answer is: Rev. 1:20 (KJV) The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. What the seven candlesticks represented when the Revelation was given is what they represent now. It hasn’t changed. When we try too soon to spiritualize a verse, we often miss the meaning of it altogether. We know what the Bible means by what it says. And what this text says is: “the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.” These are the seven churches that are named in Revelation chapters 1 and 2, literal churches that existed at the time Revelation was written. Grace to you, John |

3079 | Can i be forgiven for fallen from grace? | Rev 2:5 | kalos | 59554 | ||
shootin4heaven: Thank you for a good question -- one which no doubt many others are wondering about. The short answer to your question: Rev. 2:5 "*remove your lampstand.* God's judgment would bring an end to the Ephesian church" (MacArthur Study Bible). From where do we get this meaning of the verse? From both the Greek words in the text and from the context in which it appears. 'Scripture abundantly affirms the Christian's eternal security; therefore this passage must not be interpreted as teaching that believers in Christ can lose their salvation. See Jn3:15-16, 36; 10:27-30; Rom 8:35,37-39; Eph 1:12-14; 4:30; Phil 1:6; Heb 10:12-14; 1 Pet 1:3-5' (note at Heb 6:4, New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967). Grace to you, kalos |
