41 | Did Jeptanath kill his daugter? | Ex 20:13 | NYP | 150378 | ||
Scripture really doesn't say, but according to the custom of the times, it is likely that unless God interveened, though it would not have been an acceptiable sacrifice, Jeptanath did sacrifice his daughter. I was speechless when I first read that passage. It shows what a fool we can be when we make rash vows. The Lord had already told him, he would be successful. |

42 | Bible versions which one is best | Bible general Archive 2 | NYP | 150374 | ||
No doubt, many would consider the "meanest" as the one which is closest to truth. Yet I can see nothing "mean" in the truth He has given us. Perhaps it is because I am getting a bit bleary eyed, (It is after midnight here in the sunshine state,) but I cannot say that I quite understand your quote, "*"Meanest" here is used in the following sense of the word "mean" -- lacking distinction or eminence : HUMBLE" |

No doubt, dear brother you can take pleasure in being reminded that it has already been foretold that many would rather conform to the ways of the world than go against the tide. He knew you would be a "tide breaker" before you ever got your feet wet. |

Dear soul, your question is very dear to my heart, for I once had the same question. I simply could not understand everything I read in the KJV. No doubt, there are probably many good "versions" out there. Keep in mind though, that it is just as likely that there are just as many "bad" versions. The differentiation of good and bad has to be derived from something, and for me, that something is naturally the KJV. Every version I have ever read up on, claims to be based on some early transcripts with other versions in mind. I feel that the Lord showed me the NIV, (something I could understand,) when I needed it most, right after it was first printed in it’s entirety, yet I am more than a little leery of the later versions put out by Zondervan, which publishes NIV. I have compared the original NIV to the KJ and the Interlinear Greek and Hebrew versions and found that none are perfect, yet I know that the Holy Spirit will lead those who diligently seek Him and His word of truth. It is this fact that I have come to depend on. Salvation is the key. Everything else in scripture is for learning and growth. Personally, I study from the NIV, NASB, KJV, MKJV, NKJV, Greek and Hebrew Interlinear, and a half dozen or so other versions. If you are just beginning your studies, I’d recommend you pick one version as your primary, then use others to explain what you may not understand in it. Good versions all agree in their substance. If they differ dramatically from the majority, don’t use them. Some attempt to be literal, and some attempt only to be paraphrasures of the original scroles. |

49 | How could Lucifer become sinful,prideful | Bible general Archive 2 | NYP | 150341 | ||
Disobeying God is a sinful choice. So is pride. Considering the fact that God made both the angels, and man with a "free will", there was, and always will be plenty of evil to choose from. He wants us to worship and love Him of our own choice. If He had made the angels or us any other way, we would be nothing more than robots. |

50 | The apostate, condemned? | Heb 6:4 | NYP | 149886 | ||
Youre seems to be a picture of a babe who has been left to fend for himself which, no doubt happens only too often. I am speaking of one who has grown and matured in Christ, then for whatever reason, turned from the faith. ie. Jewish and Muslim converts, or one who simply turns back to a life of sin and indifference to the word of God. Perhaps my picture could be compaired to the seed which fell amoung the thorns. Or perhaps one which fell on good ground, then was later choked by thorns which grew all around. Scripture seems to state that this person is condemned, for there is no more sacrifice for his sins. Christ will not be crucified a second time. Do I get any change back on my mite and a half now, Doc? Thinking of these "mites" is making me want to scratch. |

51 | The apostate, condemned? | Heb 6:4 | NYP | 149058 | ||
It is my understanding that one who is apostate, has no hope (is condemned.) I derive this understanding from the following scripture. Hebrews 6:4. It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5. who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, 6. if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. I understand the word apostate as meaning the following; One who has renounced the faith. Abandonment of a previous loyalty : DEFECTION. What are your thoughts concerning my understanding of this word, apostate, in association to this particular passage? I would request sincere answers from the Christians in this community. |

52 | where proverbs 25-29 lost? | Prov 25:1 | NYP | 148878 | ||
You have me wondering now. I remember one of the Kings finding some lost scrolls, but they were prophetic, not something one would expect to find in the Proverbs. | ||||||
53 | How will I reach spiritual maturity | Eph 4:15 | NYP | 148537 | ||
Gods voice will never tell us anything which is contrary yo His written word. Please don't think mine a smart answer, but 2 Timothy 2:15 comes to mind. I like the way KJ puts it. "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, --rightly dividing the word of truth.--" NYP |

54 | Notes that have barbes? | Eph 4:15 | NYP | 148536 | ||
Hi JustMe. This is my first post, and yours happened to be the first I read which I felt solicited my thoughts, or questions, however they may wind up. Being relatively familiar with the Word, I understand your thoughts. I can't help but to wonder though; Should one avoid a "sensitive issue" just because it is that? Rather, when Christians do not agree, should we not simply learn to agree to disagree and put the fleshly inclinations aside? Harsh words only breed more of the same. I try to make each day, each action and reaction, a learning experience. This is why I call myself NYP. "Not Yet Perfect." I can hardly wait until I am perfect... NYP |
