41 | What were Tabernacle and Temple? | OT general | Hank | 4451 | ||
What was the Jewish tabernacle and what purpose did it serve? How did the tabernacle differ from the temple that came along later? Of what significance was the temple and did it replace the tabernacle? --Hank | ||||||
42 | Tara: Theological Quagmire? | OT general | Hank | 107306 | ||
Tara 1: Referencing your post # 107238: Is it your sense then that God created Christ? Do you envisage Christ as "a god" a la John 1:1, New World Translation? If Christ is, as you say, "second in all the universe" and is not Jehovah, is Christ deity? How can you fit Christ into such a theology without admitting to a doctrine of polytheism? Please try to explain your theology. I'm thoroughly confused. Are you Jehovah's Witness or do you merely speak from their viewpoint on certain issues? --Hank | ||||||
43 | ALL Scripture Inspired by God? | OT general | Hank | 116026 | ||
Ischus: In your post #116014 in response to EdB, in referring to the matter of Scripture's inspiration, you use the term "middle ground." What do you mean by it? ..... Suppose we put the cards on the table, cut to the chase, and consider whether the following statement is absolutely true: "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." [2 Timothy 3:16,17]. Does this statement appear to you to take an either/or approach, i.e., one either believes it or he does not believe it? Or does it, in your opinion, leave open a "middle ground" in which one can "philosophize" about whether some parts of Scripture are inspired and others not? I'm going to ask you a direct question, ischus. It is one that can be answered simply by a yes or a no. Do you fully believe and accept these six words as being absolutely true: "ALL Scripture is inspired by God"? As I say, the question can be answered by a simple yes or no. It doesn't require a "Yes, but..." or a "No, because..." So please answer this question. Let's stop all the double talk, let's cut out all the mumbo jumbo, let's cease beating around the bush on this crucial issue. It's brass tacks time, ischus. Please answer the question. --Hank | ||||||
44 | What do you think of new Holman Bible? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 2471 | ||
The "Holman Christian Standard Bible" is the newest translation to make the scene. Only the New Testament is available now; the Old Testament is scheduled for publication in 2004. If anyone has seen it, what are your thoughts? I received my a copy today and if anyone would like, I'll be happy to post what information I have on it. | ||||||
45 | Who were the scribes? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 4437 | ||
What was the function of the Jewish scribes so frequently mentioned in the Gospels? Was a scribe also a rabbi? Were scribes also Pharisees? --Hank | ||||||
46 | Gentle, humble -- but with a sword? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 6293 | ||
Compare Matthew 10:34 with 11:29. In the former, Jesus says He brings not peace but a sword. In the latter verse, He describes Himself as being gentle and humble in heart. How do both descriptions apply to Him? | ||||||
47 | Were the Apostles theologians? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 6677 | ||
Could Jesus' Apostles (The Twelve) be called "theologians" and did they have a "theology"? (My intent is that both words, theologians and theology, be considered in the same sense we understand and use them in our language today.) | ||||||
48 | Gnosticism still alive? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 7840 | ||
Are there perhaps shades, variations, or traces of ancient Gnosticism alive today, masked by other names? --Hank | ||||||
49 | Bereans corrected the Apostle of Christ? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 7920 | ||
Steve, from what version of Acts 17:11 were you able to infer that "the Bereans did it to Paul and he accepted it, "it" being "correction" as indicated by your phrase "who refuse correction"? Doesn't such an inference as this lead us to think that Paul's teaching, under inspiration of the Holy Spirit, was in error and the Bereans corrected this error? What are you saying and what do you mean to say? --Hank | ||||||
50 | Who refuses to receive correction? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 8144 | ||
Steve, you "answer" with a question, "Do you refuse to receive correction?" To whom is this question directed, yourself or someone else? And to what does the "correction" refer? Being simple, I am easily confused. --Hank | ||||||
51 | After Salvation, What? (A correction) | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 8194 | ||
Begging your pardon and correcting a typo in my question about After Salvation, What? The phrase "recaste the question" should read "recast the question." "Recaste" sounds like I was trying to say something about a "caste system" and not succeeding very well. --Hank | ||||||
52 | Called to Preach -- What is it like? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 8207 | ||
Having never been "called to preach" I confess total ignorance of what the experience is like. Since some of you are preachers, having answered the call, would any of you like to share with the rest of us what the experience of being called to preach is like? Is it something that occurs in a moment or is it a continuing call that keeps calling until answered? I think your answers would be instructive to members of the forum. I know they would to me. --Hank | ||||||
53 | Church Problems -- Then and Now? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 8793 | ||
What were some of the problems that the early church faced in the first century? What are some of the problems that the church is facing today? How did the early church deal with their problems, and how is the present-day church (or churches) dealing with theirs?Please try to document your answers as much as possible. --Hank | ||||||
54 | Question for "bible browse" | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 79186 | ||
Why? --Hank | ||||||
55 | E Pluribus Unum: Strength in Numbers? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 91771 | ||
Previous posts on the subject of Bible translations seem to point to a censensus that a translation of the Scriptures carried out by a large group of qualiifed translators is preferable to the tranlsation of one person. The reasons for this preference are fairly obvious and have been stated before, so I won't attempt to recap them here. My question to you is this: If group translation is preferable to individual translation, why wouldn't annotations in a study Bible made by a group of Bible scholars be preferable to annotations made by an individual? Examples of study Bibles that represent joint effort by a group would include NASB (and NIV) Study Bibles, the King James Study Bible and the Believer's Study Bible. Individual effort would include Ryrie, MacArthur and Dake. What are your thoughts? --Hank | ||||||
56 | But I Ain't No Roman! | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 98285 | ||
Radioman - Book of Romans? Duh, what's that? Besides, what does them Romans have to do with my religion? I ain't no Roman. My relevations comes to me in dreams and from reading science fiction. What's the since in paying any attention to what church folks and them egg-headed Theolowjuns says anyhow? They don't know nothing. Best thing is to pick out a verse in the Wholly Bibel and stick with it. Don't worry about the rest of the Bibel. You ain't gonna understand it nohow. James 2:17 is about the only verse in the Bibel I pay any attention to. That grace and faith stuff don't bother me none. It don't do much good to read that stuff that was wrote 2,000 years ago. Besides some of the Apostles that the Epistles wrote has done got lost. God don't seem able to keep up with His books somehow, and everbody knows it's high time He updated a lot of that old stuff. Like I say, they ain't no use sweating the small stuff like grace and faith and such like. All a body needs to do is read as much science fiction as he can get his hands on and pick out a verse of the Bibel and stick with it. Just be a good ole boy and maybe git somebody to dunk you in a puddle of water to wash them sins away, and you'll turn out OK. I shore have. --Hank ..... P.S. And they's one more thing: Don't believe a word I've written in this post! And the same can be said for many other posts by many other users with which this poor old forum has been burdened in the last two and a half years. --HH | ||||||
57 | A man of God? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 121168 | ||
What does it mean to be a man of God? The term is fairly common in the Old Testament but rare in the New Testament. Please answer the question by giving Bible examples and Bible definitions, not by saying something that begins, "I believe the term means...." --Hank | ||||||
58 | MJH: Matthew in Hebrew and "Q" Document? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 177165 | ||
Good evening, MJH. What credible evidence do you have (1) that Matthew was the first Gospel written and that it was originally written in Hebrew; and (2) that a "Q" (from German Quelle: source) document ever existed? --Hank | ||||||
59 | Bible and evolution both? | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 2752 | ||
Can a Christian believe in the theory of evolution? To recast the question, is it possible to believe in evolution and the Bible at the same time? Does not one patently contradict the other? Please clothe your comments and answers in scriptural references. | ||||||
60 | Study Bible Forum -- or Circus? | Gen 1:17 | Hank | 6718 | ||
Now we have God creating the sun, moon, and stars in his workshop -- a cut and paste operation of sorts -- and putting them wherever He saw an empty space that needed something in it -- like decorating a Christmas tree. Wonder if He had elves in His workshop to help Him build stars? Folks, I'm not trying to be cute and most assuredly not to be sacreligious. I'm merely attempting to illustrate how far off base this forum has wandered and how dangerously close we are to becoming a world wide joke, a Biblical circus of the Internet. Lionstrong posed the question of whether we were at liberty to ask any question or post any note. The sure answer is emphatically not! I am not at liberty to ask anyone on this forum for a recipe for fudge brownies and you are not at liberty to give me an answer. Have you, Lionstrong, and have you and I, the other users, forgotten what this forum is all about? In the last several weeks this forum has been bogged down by endless debates over emotionally-charged denominationally-biased issues, such as the Arminianism verse Calvinism debacle and before that the Oneness fiasco. Read the purposes and aims of this forum set out by the Lockman Foundation. Read their criteria for what constitutes a good posting as listed on the voting bars. Questions should be Biblically oriented and answers Biblically supported. Lockman has given us ample freedom within clearly-defined guidelines. But with freedom come our own personal responsibilties. Folks, I know that many of you, like I, love the idea of having a study Bible forum and see in it a real potential to honor God and His word. And I know that many of you, like I, are displeased and even disgusted with some of the postings that have been made and continue to be made that bring only discord and benefit nothing except perhaps the foolish vanity of the authors of this kind of trash. The forum is in trouble, of that I have no doubt. Unless we mend our ways and get back to the fundamentals of what this forum is all about, I would not be at all surprised that eventually it will cease to be. I've said my say. It's up to you. If you have anything positive to add or suggest that will help this forum, please come forward and make yourselves heard. If you are unwilling to submit to Lockman's guidelines and come only to disrupt, do the rest of us a favor and log out. --Hank | ||||||
