47 | Which rendering of Luke 2: | Luke 2:14 | New Creature | 74210 | ||
In Luke 2:14 of the NASB the verse is rendered "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased." Comparing it with the KJV which renders the same verse as follows Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace good will toward men. The noticeable difference is in the NASB rendering where there is the added ending; "with whom He is pleased." Which rendering of this verse could we say is closest to the orginal Greek, or is it just a matter of which of the ancient manuscripts were use in the translation of the two different versions of the Bible? Grace, love, and peace New Creature |

48 | "when thou art converted" | Luke 22:32 | New Creature | 40499 | ||
In Luke 22:32 Jesus says to Peter: "But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren." Does the phrase "when thou art converted" imply that Peter was non-converted at this time? Secondly, if Peter himself was not a convert to Christ Jesus, would that mean that at this time none of the other disciples were converts either at this juncture? |

49 | what does water refer to? | John 3:5 | New Creature | 57286 | ||
John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (NASB) Concerning the above verse, I have heard various thoughts about what the term "born of water" means Some think the "water" refers to water baptism Others think the "water" refers to our physical birth - the watery womb of our mother from which we were born of earthly parentage. Others think "water" refers to the word of God as the washing element. So what are the thoughts of this community concerning the meaning of "water" in John 3:5? The more responses the better Could you also please provide an answer as to why you believe as you do about this? |

53 | Inability to believe | John 5:24 | New Creature | 63469 | ||
How is it possible that a loving and just God, could eternally condemn unbelievers to eternal torment, for their inability to believe the gospel message and respond in faith? Does God condemn them for their inability to turn from their sins? |

54 | God heareth not sinners | John 9:31 | New Creature | 94102 | ||
EdB Concerning John 9:31 which the question revolved around I found a couple of interesting cross reference verses. Compare the following OT verses with the NT verse 9:31. Wouldn't you agree that these OT verses possibly help us better understand what was said in John 9:31: John 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. Psalm 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: Jer. 5:25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear Prov. 15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. Micah 3:4 Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings Grace be to you New Creature |

55 | Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit? | Acts | New Creature | 67279 | ||

56 | Is God an accessory to evil? | Acts 4:28 | New Creature | 142808 | ||
I am having a difficult time with Acts 4:27-28 Acts 4:27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, Acts 4:28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. In the above verses, I read where it was determined by God that Christ should die. So far I have no problem Where I am having a difficult time is trying to figure out whether it was determined by God which individuals would actually put Christ to death. The word determined is the Greek word (proorzio)which has also been translated to mean "predestinated" or "ordained" So if God predestinated or ordained that certain sinful men would carry out His plan, doesn't that seem to make God an accessory to evil, and the Author of it. I personally do not actually believe God is the Author of sin. But how can I explain this text without it making God appear to be an accessory to evil? Does any one have a reasonable answer? |

57 | Accessory to evil | Acts 4:28 | New Creature | 142812 | ||
Searcher Actually this is a theological question which is derived from Scripture itself. No denomination has been mentioned except by you. If you don't have a reasonable answer to my questions could you leave them for those who do. Once again my question is: I am having a difficult time with Acts 4:27-28 Acts 4:27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, Acts 4:28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

58 | How many types of Christian's? | Acts 11:26 | New Creature | 105908 | ||
How many different types of Christian's are there? I realize that there are those who profess to be Christian's but who actually are not what they profess to be. Many call these people false professor's or counterfeit Christian's. Below is a list that I have made. Look at the list, and please indicate by your reply whether or not you believe that it is possible to be labeled any of the following and still actually be an authentic Christian. (1) The Carnal Christian - see 1 Cor. 3 - also called "infants in Christ" and "worldly" (2) The Complacent Christian - self-satisfied and unconcerned (3)The Cultural Christian - They adapt to the character and behavior pattern of Christians around them. As the Christian culture around them is more or less holy, so these Christians are more or less holy. (4)The Compromising Christian - one who surrenders his principles (5)The Casual Christian - also could be called the occasional Christian, superficial, not serious. Shows little interest, nonchalant and irresponsible. Puts forth little or no effort (6) The Counterfeit Christian - a forgery, an imitation of what is genuine. Feigned, a false copy, hypocritical. One who acts or pretends to be something their not (7)The Closet Christian - I also call him the lone wolf. Has little or no fellowship with the flock. New Creature |

59 | Difference between tithes and offerings | Acts 11:29 | New Creature | 47374 | ||
I have a question about tithes and offerings. I DON'T want to get into a long drawn out debate about how tithes are not part of the New Testament. I personally feel led by the Lord to tithe and make offerings unto the Lord. The New Testament says: "God loves a cheerful giver" I enjoy giving cheerfully from the abundance the Lord has given me, of any time, talents, and tithes. My question is: What is the difference between a tithe and an offering? I tithe 10 per-cent of my after tax with-holding net amount, but feel the desire to give beyond the 10 percent. I think anything beyond the 10 per-cent (which rightfully belongs to the Lord anyhow) is an offering. And of course I also believe it's ALL His anyways. He has just given me stewardship over all He has graciously blessed me with. So is the offering anything I give over the first 10 per-cent? |
