41 | To Snitch or Not To Snitch ??? | Phil 2:2 | Pew Potato | 224115 | ||
Philippians 2:2-4 (HCSB) fulfill my joy by thinking the same way, having the same love, sharing the same feelings, focusing on one goal. Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. Everyone should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Would you want someone to tell you about the deception? |

42 | What is the Greek wd 4 firstborn | Col 1:15 | Pew Potato | 224441 | ||
prototokos (there should be a horizontal line above the first o) is an adjective found nine times with the meaning "firstborn" in both a literal and figurative sense. References to Jesus as Mary's "firstborn" son are found in Matt. 1:25; Luke 2:7; Heb. 1:6. Heb. 11:28 refers to the "firstborn" of Egyptian families destroyed by the avenging angel, a divine judgment precipitating the exodus of the Israelite captives. In metaphorical contexts, the meaning "firstborn" signifies the person of Jesus Christ, who is described as the "firstborn" of creation in Col. 1:15, the initial representative of a regenerate communion of believers who would continue throughout eternity. Col. 1:18; Rev. 1:5 refer to Christ as the "firstborn" from the dead, the prime example of the resurrected members of his body, the church. See also Heb. 12:23; Rom. 8:29 for related usage. - “FIRSTBORN” Expository Dictionary of Bible Words: Word Studies for Key English Bible Words Based on the Hebrew and Greek Texts (Stephen D. Renn) |

43 | apharro whats the meaning | Heb 12:2 | Pew Potato | 226839 | ||
Looking unto (aphorontes eis). Present active participle of aphorao, old verb to look away, "looking away to Jesus." In N.T. only here and Phil. 2:23. Fix your eyes on Jesus, after a glance at "the cloud of witnesses," for he is the goal. Cf. Moses in Hebrews 11:26 (apeblepen). - Robertson's Word Pictures in the New Testament The word "looking" is aphorao "to turn the eyes away from other things and fix them on something." The word also means "to turn one's mind to a certain thing." Both meanings are applicable here, the spiritual vision turned away from all else and together with the mind, concentrated on Jesus. What a lesson in Christian running technique we have in that little preposition "off, away from," which is prefixed to this verb. The minute the Greek runner in the stadium takes his attention away from the race course and the goal to which he is speeding, and turns it upon the onlooking crowds, his speed is slackened. It is so with the Christian. The minute he takes his eyes off of the Lord Jesus, and turns them upon others, his pace in the Christian life is slackened, and his onward progress in grace hindered - Wuest's Word Studies |

44 | ... | James 1:1 | Pew Potato | 224822 | ||
That “James” need not further specify which James he is in James 1:1 suggests that he is the most prominent and well-known James of the early church, James the Lord’s brother (Acts 12:17; Acts 15:13-21; Acts 21:17-26; 1 Cor. 15:7; Galatians 2:9, 12), as in church tradition. (James was a common name, and when one spoke of a less commonly recognized individual with a common name, one usually added a qualifying title, e.g., “Plato the comic poet,” “James the lesser” in the apostolic list and many people in ancient business documents.) The main objection to this proposal is the polished style of the Greek language of the letter, but this objection does not take account of several factors: (1) the widespread use of rhetoric and more than sufficient time for James, the main spokesperson for the Jerusalem church, to have acquired facility in it; (2) that as the son of a carpenter he had probably had a better education than Galilean peasants; (3) the spread of Greek language and culture in Palestine (e.g., Josephus, Justin); (4) excavations showing that most of Galilee was not as backward as was once thought; (5) the widespread use of amanuenses (scribes) who might, like Josephus’s editorial scribes, help a writer’s Greek. — Bible Background Commentary |

45 | Who was Jude, brother of Janes ? | Jude 1:1 | Pew Potato | 225278 | ||
Jude identifies himself as "a brother of James" (v 1). This James is almost certainly the "Lord's brother" (Gal 1:19; see Mark 6:3 // Matt 13:55) who became a leader of the Jerusalem church (Acts 15:13-21; 21:18) and wrote the letter of James. Jude was therefore also a brother of Jesus (Jude is spelled "Judas" in Mark 6:3 // Matt 13:55). Jude and the other brothers of Jesus did not follow Jesus during his earthly ministry (John 7:5), but evidently became believers after the resurrection (see 1 Cor 15:7) and traveled to spread the message about the resurrected Lord (1 Cor 9:5). - NLT Study Bible |

46 | Crowns we cast at Jesus feet real or not | Rev 4:10 | Pew Potato | 224143 | ||
Randy Alcorn states: At least five different crowns are given as heavenly rewards: the crown of life (James 1:12; Rev. 2:10), the incorruptible crown (1 Cor. 9:24, 25), crown of rejoicing (1 Thes. 2:19; Phil. 4:1), crown of glory (1 Pet. 5:1-4), and crown of righteousness (2 Tim. 4:6-8). The crowns may relate to positions of ruling in heaven (Luke 19:17; Rev. 2:26-28), but in any case they are lasting reminders of our work on earth, and Christ’s faithfulness in enabling us to do that work. Ultimately these crowns put at Christ’s feet, to recognize him (Rev. 4:10). Our rewards are given not merely for our recognition, but for God’s eternal glory. However, Scripture sees no contradiction whatsoever between God’s eternal glory and our eternal good. http://www.epm.org/resources/2010/Feb/4/what-does-bible-say-about-heaven/ |

47 | Do they who reign live 900 years? | Rev 20:1 | Pew Potato | 224876 | ||
He may have been referring to Isaiah 65:20 In her, a nursing infant will no longer live only a few days, or an old man not live out his days. Indeed, the youth will die at a hundred years, and the one who misses a hundred years will be cursed. |
