3301 | Is homosexuality actually forbidden? | Romans | Searcher56 | 11233 | ||
Correction - This way is neutral. Also as you study the text in the context. -Study each word -Study the pharse -Study the paragraph -Study the chapter -Study the book -Study the NT or OT, as applicable -Study the whole Bible ... see how it all fits and it will be clear to you. Steve |

3302 | Is homosexuality actually forbidden? | Romans | Searcher56 | 11232 | ||
Dean Graf, The origin is very clear. In my Interlinear Bible, I see the original to be very clear. I have the Greek, an the English word on top of it. On the side I have the translation, sometimes in a different order that the Greek. But, it carrys the meaning. If not exact, very close. In this case all the passages on homosexuality say it is wrong. On online is Interlinear Bible at: http://bible.crosswalk.com/InterlinearBible/ ... copy and paste the text, then click each the Greek word to see the English word and put that word on top of the Greek. There is not always a 1:1 ratio. It is painstaking work, just ask those who study that way. This was is neutral. Steve |

3303 | LUCK - Satanic or Divine | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 11219 | ||
Preacher Man, You did well. We rather not say "Divine providence." When the 11 cast lots (Act 1:23-26), they knew no matter what happend, the Lord was in control (Pro 16:33). Steve |

3305 | Father in heaven | Mark 10:18 | Searcher56 | 11158 | ||
Isa, for some reason my post was cut off. So I'll try to restart at a good point. Let me know if I misunderstand what the Quran says. In several Quranic passages (16:61; 40:55; 42:5, 30; 47:19; 48:1-2) we read that Muhammad was exhorted to seek forgiveness for his faults, that not a single living creature would be left on earth if God punished everyone for their wrongdoing, and that one of Muhammad's military victories served as an assurance of forgiveness of his sins, past and future. Is it pointless for Muslims to argue for Muhammad's sinlessness or to compare him to Jesus, whom Muslims consider to be both sinless and alive in heaven, near to God right now? The contrast could be more sharply drawn by pointing out that Muhammad's grave is in Medina today, whereas Christ is alive in heaven with God. In the Quran (2:253; 3:45-49; 4:158, 171; 5:49; 19:33; 89:22) it is noted that Jesus was called the Messiah; He was born of a virgin; He was among the righteous ones - those nearest to God; He received |

3306 | Good grief | Mark 10:18 | Searcher56 | 11073 | ||
Pastor Tim and Nolan great responses, My twopennies worth is that He prayed to His Father because He needed to relax and be refreshed. Also, to show us an example. But, this did not negate His deity. They to talk to one another, as we see when They created man (Gen 1:26). Steve |

Ed, Maybe not so big. While it doesn't what position he was in, I think he was on he knees, if not prostrate in prayer. Steve | ||||||

JVH0212 - 45,000 hours of study? Martin Luther proved the "experts" of his day wrong. I think they can miss something today, they have beedn known to change their minds. When I read my Bible, I do not read the "experts" until I have studied the passage myself. If I let them dictate what the Bible says, it is like the days of Martin Luther. The "expert" do disagree about verses 1 and 5. I haven't found a pausiable response to verse 13. As I said, it could be the wife (or some female relation) of the writer wanted to say hi. This is a minor issue. Steve |

EdB - I like the idea. But, is it chosen one in verse 1 or 13? Steve |

3310 | Tell me who unties them? | Matt 18:18 | Searcher56 | 10678 | ||
Appleseed and JVH0212, let me interject ... JVH01212, you are correct. Promises can be temporal for a group, permanent for a group, or for everyone. -Luke 9:1 is promise temporal for the 12, as He was sending them out to preach (vv 2-6). In Mark 16:17-18, He make the same promise, then goes on to say they can pick up snakes, drink deadly poison and other things. I doubt you try these two. -The promise to Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3, 15:1-21, 17:1-21 and 22:16-18 refer to Israel alone and will never be revoked. -The promise of all who that believe will be saved is for all men. John 3:16 is one verse that comes to mind. Understand the context of the entire Bible to know to whom the promise is made ... and for how long. Steve |

3311 | No speaking in tongues, no Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:4 | Searcher56 | 10672 | ||
While Paul thanks God he speaks with tongues more than the readers, so that he can talk directly with the natives. I do not think everyone spoke Greek in the places he visited. The would like everyone to (1Co 14:5a), he rather have them prophesy, because he who does is greater (v 5b), second only to the interpeter (v 5c). I am not sure where we are to "pray that someone would interpret." I have a friend who attends a church that follows the pattern I mentioned in my previous post. A visitor came and spoke in a tongue. The one who interpeted said something. Then the visitor said that was not what he said, he was quoting John 3:16. My friend, a Greek prof, got up, supporting the visitor. The interpeter does have to know what is being said, otherwise what he says could be false. It can be a spiritual or studied gift. Steve |

3312 | Are all Christians going to heaven? | Matt 7:21 | Searcher56 | 10640 | ||
Appleseed and Nolan, Let me interject. -Mat. 7:21 has an important word, "say." Just becuase people say He is Lord and claim to of done things does not make them a Christian. --There are people, who on their own, think they are Christians - because they do somethings (works). I see verses 13-14 fit here. --There are cults that teach their followers that they are Christians. The followers are duped into believing another gospel. I see verses 15-20 fit here. ...neither group is getting in, based on verses 21-27. Nolan is right about the passage in 1 Thessalonians. But, let me add some thoughts. -Each chapter ends with something about His return. 4:13-5:11 is a whole section on this. -In the passage you quoted, Paul writes that they know about the love principle (vv 9-10). They also knew He ws coming like a thief in the night (5:1-2). ... to live a life of respect, including work (vv 11-12). He repeats this thought (2Th 3:10-12) ... then he closes the chapter about something they were worrying |

CLP, One possibility was the Aaronic blessing (Num 6:24-26) ... it is how they were blessed (vv 22-23). Steve | ||||||
3314 | Jesus' early years? | Luke 2:52 | Searcher56 | 10574 | ||
Nolan, you are correct ... I'd start at vs. 39, plus Mat. 2:21-23, which doesn't say much. Steve | ||||||
3315 | No speaking in tongues, no Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:4 | Searcher56 | 10520 | ||
EdB, I have never said the gift of tongues, prophesy, knowledge have been done away. But, I think we have misunderstood what God wrote through Paul. Steve |

3316 | No speaking in tongues, no Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:4 | Searcher56 | 10517 | ||
EdB, - What language do angels speak to men, is it unknown to them? - We don't know what language they speak in heaven. If it is unknown on earth, then it is fruitless to speak. - For those who speak in an unknown tongue, is it the same language for all. It would be interesting to get a linguist to listen and see if there is any pattern. Just a thought. Steve |

3317 | Was it wrong to send Hagar away? | Gen 21:14 | Searcher56 | 10513 | ||
Nolan, I want to know what the "experts" say, sometimes. In this case, God knew what Sarah was going to say-beit violation of the law they knew. God also knew the results of this action, as well as imparting life in the womb of Hagar. Steve |

3318 | No speaking in tongues, no Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:4 | Searcher56 | 10512 | ||
Debbie, You are right. -Foreign tongue by one person (for the unbeliever who understands it). -Interpet by another(for the locals to know what is said). -Foreign tongue by one person (for the unbeliever who understands it). -Interpet by another(for the locals to know what is said). 1Co 14:14 - Praying in a tongue (a foreign one in the context) produces an unfruitful mind.

3319 | No speaking in tongues, no Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:4 | Searcher56 | 10511 | ||
Debbie, The need for the interpreter is for the locals. It is like when someone would say something in Japanese here. There is a need for someone to interpret it into English, for everyone but the Japanese in the crowd. John 20:22 is after His resurrection and His promise of the Comforter (chapters 14-16). It is possible to be filled with the Spirit several times (Act 4:8, 4:31, 13:9). Notice the differences and similarities in Acts 4:31 and the day of Pentecost. I do not see anywhere where the interpreter does not know both languages. Why doesn't he speak? He may not have anything to say or he does not have the gift of teaching. Do you think you have all the Spiritual gifts, that are listed throughout the New Testament? I never said the gifts of the Holy Spirit stop being necessary. But we need to understand what the gifts are. I have seen churches not follow the directions on speaking in tongues - one speaks, another interpeters. Then, the cycle repeats. The church has everyone speak in tongues, at once. Steve |

3320 | "The Disciple's Prayer"? | Luke 11:2 | Searcher56 | 10429 | ||
Mr. Hank, We do need to show respect to our elders ... another thing I was taught when I went to school. Do you remember ears that were boxed, for calling an adult by their first name or some other name? I think we also misunderstand the holiness of God. We have made our elder's names common as well as God's. The hardest for me were the Minor Prophets. I think we need to study these books, so we know where the address is when we see it quoted in the NT, at the very least. Mr. Steve |
