34544 | Spiritual beings procreate? | Gen 6:4 | charis | 1884 | ||
Forum Fellows, Can spiritual beings procreate with fleshly beings? I can think of only one instance in the Bible where this took place, and that was the conception of Christ Jesus in Mary by the Holy Spirit. Yet, the 'common interpretation' of this scripture is that the sons of God are angels. If we believe the angels can procreate with humans, then it follows that demons can, too. Or is this another thing that is 'for a limited time only?' Blessings in Christ Jesus. charis |

34545 | Anything wrong with dating? | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 1874 | ||
Is there anything about our American custom of dating that violates Scriptural principles? Is dating, as we know it, proper preparation for Christian marriage? In addition to my fellow Americans, could someone also submit an answer from the viewpoint of a different culture or country? Has anyone read the book "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" by Josh Harris? If so, comments please. | ||||||

34547 | Difference between apostasy, heresy? | NT general Archive 1 | kalos | 1870 | ||
What is the difference between "apostasy" and "heresy"? I know this question was asked previously on this forum. A good partial answer was given. Could someone give a more specific answer to this question? I.e., a more specific defintion of "apostasy" and "heresy" would be appreciated. Nothing wrong with the previous answer. It just didn't go far enough in defining apostasy and heresy. Apostates and heretics are similar, but there are well-defined differences. Can anyone explain to me what those differences are? | ||||||

34556 | To capitalize or not to capitalize? | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 1817 | ||
Philippians 2:3 (ASV 1901) "[doing] nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself;" (Note: the entire text of the ASV is available online at bible.crosswalk.com(slash)OnlineStudyBible) . . . Dear R.V.H.: Let me begin by saying that I DO count YOU better than myself. I mean that sincerely. In no way am I above anyone else. My reply is not a personal attack on you. There is no malice in my question. Please re-read my original answer to your original question about capitalization of pronouns referring to Deity in the Bible. . . . "Some religious literature chooses to capitalize pronouns that refer to the deity. As in the original languages, GOD'S WORD does not capitalize any pronouns (unless they begin sentences). In some cases scholars are uncertain whether pronouns in the original texts refer to God or someone else. In these cases the presence of capitalized pronouns would be misleading.". (p. xiii, GOD'S WORD, Grand Rapids: World Publishing, 1995) . . . Let's take a look at the main points in the above quotation. . . . 1) Some religious literature chooses to capitalize pronouns that refer to the deity. Some do not. . . . 2) The Scriptures "in the original languages" do not capitalize any pronouns. If the original manuscripts did not capitalize pronouns, and those Scriptures have endured until now, then WHY does anyone today feel that pronouns referring to the Deity MUST be capitalized? . . . 3) "In some cases scholars are uncertain whether pronouns in the original texts refer to God or someone else." If SCHOLARS -- those who have learned Hebrew and Greek and have studied the Bible IN THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGES -- if they are in some cases uncertain, is there not some arrogance in the assumption that the rest of us could just take a red pencil and go merrily through the Bible, capitalizing as the mood struck us? (Perhaps you have studied Greek and Hebrew at seminary level. If you have, then more power to you.) . . . 4) "In these cases the PRESENCE of capitalized pronouns would be misleading." If, on the other hand, the ABSENCE of capitalized pronouns is misleading, then blame God. For that is how the Bible was written in the original languages. The argument that the original manuscripts (as well as certain English translations including, but not limited to, the King James) are somehow misleading sounds to me like criticism of the Author of the book. (I am not writing the Bible. I can capitalize in my personal writing whenever I want to. That is not the issue here.) . . . My point is: Since you apparently do not understand my original reply, quoted above, then you could continue to ask questions about the lack of capitalization of pronouns until the Rapture, but any answer would be meaningless to you. That is, if you cannot grasp the concept that "In some cases scholars are uncertain whether pronouns in the original texts refer to God or someone else. In these cases the presence of capitalized pronouns would be misleading." . . . Again, WHO is going to make those decisions? Sincere laymen, Catholics, Protestants, Charismatics, non-Charismatics, liturgical churches, non-liturgical churches, the Mormons, the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Christian scientists? . . . If only the solution to the problem of capitalization were as simple and simplistic as you imply they are! I'm not against capitalization. I'm just against every Thomas, Richard and Henry with a red pencil tampering with the Bible. |

34557 | What about the other ministries? | Eph 4:11 | charis | 1773 | ||
God bless us everyone, The above scripture is often called the 5-fold ministry. I have received much commentary stating that there are no apostles or prophets in this present day. However, not one person has made any comment whatsoever about evangelists, pastors, and teachers. I assume that is because their validity is not in question. This is interesting; pastors is mentioned just this once, evangelist is mentioned in two other places, and teacher most of all, but almost always with prophet. How does one account for this? Please use scripture to explain (not explain away) the emasculation of this scripture. Your servant in Christ Jesus, charis |

34558 | Church Age? | Acts 2:17 | charis | 1763 | ||
Friends and colleagues, is this scripture talking about the 'church age?' After reading Peter's sermon explaining their behavior, it seems that his quotes from Joel and David are talking about the 'church age' until the last days. Peter testifies that Joel's prophecy was about then and now, and until the return of thew Lord. Comments? | ||||||
34559 | Use Info Update? | Bible general Archive 1 | charis | 1761 | ||
Did anybody know about the User Info Update? (Look to the right, under 'Information') Our gracious hosts have provided a means to share a bit about yourself to everyone. This is optional, but it would be nice to know something about the people we are interacting with. You don't have to give birthdates or telephone numbers, just a few facts to identify your personality. Basic location would be nice. Gender, unless you are really sensitive about it. Ministy or talent would let everyone know 'where you are coming from.' Of course, you can be the 'mystery' person. Your prerogative. If you click on 'charis' in any of the 'trees,' you will know something about me :-) In Christ Jesus. | ||||||
