41 | James 1:9-10 high and low positions? | NT general Archive 1 | Pam D | 102111 | ||
Dear Tim, I forgot that I have a commentary by F.F. Bruce! (I have a lot of books) The one I have is the International Bible Commentary published by Zondervan. When I first got it, it made me a little nervous because he is into the higher criticism stuff, so I put it away. I just pulled it out and I think I like it now! Is the New International Commentary on the New Testament similar? I only have a basic understanding of Greek. I taught myself using Jim Founds book "Basic Greek in 30 minutes a Day". And I have almost no knowledge of Hebrew. Do you think the New International Critical Commentary would be of use to me? Do they translate the languages when they are commenting on them? Blessings, Pam |

Dear Ed, I just wanted to let you know that I ordered Zodhiates commentary on James, "Faith, Love and Hope". I should get it Thursday. I think I am going to hold off on ordering the ones that Tim suggested. Thanks again for the suggestion and for your help. By the way, what do you think the "Crown of Life is in James 1:12? Blessings, Pam |

Dear Tim, I think I am going to hold off ordering the commentaries that you suggested until I have an opportunity to examine them a little closer. I would think the F.F. Bruce commentary would just expand on the answers he has already given in the one I have. And I would like to take a closer look at the Critical Commentary Series before I purchase it. I ended up ordering the one that Ed suggested by Zodhiates. Ya, know, I think I would like to go to college to study the Bible after my kids finish college. It would be awesome to be able to have a bunch of professors answer my questions about the Bible! Although, I must say, I thought I already hit gold with this web site and all of you to help answer my questions! Thanks again, Blessings, Pam |

Dear Ed, Thanks for the advice about college, I'll have to pray about it. Right now, I have something else I need to ask you. Tonight I am going to be speaking to a woman named Lori about salvation. She is undergoing some very, very heavy duty problems. Our mutual friend just called me and would like me to help her explain salvation to Lori after work tonight. I am very familiar with the Scriptures on salvation, but would you pray that the Lord gives me wisdom and discernment when I speak to this woman. I can lead her to the Lord, but I do not have the skills to counsel her. A further possible complication is that (in an unrelated conversation), I told my friend about some verses in the Bible where it says that the Lord is the one who brings adversity. (Lam 3:37-38, Isa 45:7, Ecc 7:14, Lam 3:32-33 ). These verses led me to the conclusion that the Lord just doesn't allow adversity and calamity, but He Himself brings it on. She told Lori this and now Lori is interested in salvation. I want to make sure she is not coming to the Lord as a fire insurance policy. From what I can see in Scripture, the Lord brings adversity on unbelievers and believers alike. Please pray the Lord would give me wisdom and discernment regarding this, too. Thanks so much for your prayers. Blessings, Pam These are the verses I gave my friend on adversity: Isaiah 45:7 I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things. Lam 3:37-38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come? Ecclesiastes 7:14 When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other... Lam 3:32-33 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men. I also told my friend that God brings adversity for a reason(s), and many times we will never know those reasons. But one of the truths to hang on to is that God is infinitely wise and never makes a mistake. He is in complete control and will not give us more than we can bear. And that God loves us and He is good and wants good things for us. I gave her verses to support these truths also which I have listed below. Psalm 119:71 It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees. Heb 12:10 Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. Romans 8:28 "And we know that in ALL things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose." John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 1John 4:9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son. 2Chron 7:3 .... "He is good; his love endures forever." Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him, but with an overwhelming flood he will make an end of Nineveh; he will pursue his foes into darkness. Jn 10:11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. Job 9:4 His wisdom is profound, his power is vast. Who has resisted him and come out unscathed? Job 12:13 To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his. Psalm 147:5 His understanding has no limit. Romans 11:33-34 How fathomless the depths of God's resources, wisdom, and knowledge! How unsearchable His decisions, and how mysterious His methods! For who has ever understood the thoughts of the Lord, or has ever been His advisor? |

Dear Tim, Thanks for your advice and help regarding my studies in Scripture. Your comments are appreciated. I have posted a note to Ed about a blessing I will hopefully have tonight of leading a woman to the Lord. There are a few complications which I have posted in the note to Ed. I will not repeat the whole thing here (it's rather lengthy), but would be grateful if you would read it, too. It is in this thread just under this note to you. It starts out "Dear Ed, Thanks for the advice about". I have asked him to pray for wisdom and discernment for me regarding this. I wonder if I might ask the same of you. Thanks for your prayers, Blessings, Pam |

Dear Ed, Just a quick note to let you know Lori accepted the Lord! Praise God! By the way, I would never have spoken to her on the subject of God bringing adversity into our lives, my friend did. So she kind of opened the can of worms and dumped it into my lap! In spite of that, all went well and we are now praying and exploring ways to help her with her problems and how we can disciple her. Blessings, Pam |

57 | Hebrew Expert needed for Gen 3:7 | Gen 3:7 | Pam D | 159359 | ||
Hebrew expert needed for Gen 3:7. I have Analytical Key to the Old Testament Vol 1 by John Joseph Owens, but I don't understand some of what it says. Next to "Then were opened" it says: consecutive -Niph'al imperfect 3 feminine plural What does it mean when it says "consecutive", What is "Niph'al" and what does the "3" mean? I'm trying to find out if Eve's eyes were opened first and then Adams or if both of their eyes were opened at the same time. Thanks for any help. Blessings, Pam |

So Gen 3:6-7 could be translated: ...she took some and ate it...gave some to her husband...and he ate it. As a consequence the eyes of both of them were opened.... OR ...she took some and ate it...gave some to her husband...and he ate it. As a result the eyes of both of them were opened.... OR ...she took some and ate it...gave some to her husband...and he ate it and the eyes of both of them were opened.... Thanks for the help with the Hebrew. I guess knowing it doesn't help me much with the question I had about whether Eve's eyes were opened first and then Adams or if both of their eyes were opened at the same time. Blessings, Pam |

What exactly does the Septuagint say? Hi Brad, Good thought to check out the Greek Septuagint! :) Are you able to type Greek on this web site? If not can you give me the Strongs numbers for "then the eyes of both of them were opened" from verse 7 and the gramatical parsings and stuff too? I agree, the technical stuff may not really help all that much in answering my question. What would you say the answer is to my question about whether Eve's eyes were opened first or if their eyes were opened at the same time? Is there another scripture that might back up what you think the answer is? Thanks for your help. Blessings, Pam |
