41 | Women teachers in the Church? | 1 Tim 2:12 | Tim3:16 | 181169 | ||
Hello and welcome to this forum. You are right in feeling the conflicts with teachers such as J. Meyers and others. I believe the Holy Spirit is giving you some discretion and exposing the departures from God's Inspired Word as it pertains to His Will. If it seems to be in conflict with the Bible, it usually is. The Holy Spirit has been promised by Jesus to lead us to the truth. For comparison, may I ask you to take a look at Nancy Lee DeMoss, who knows how to teach from a womans role, and does not try to teach to men the way she would like them to learn. DeMoss has men guests on her show, and she plays a submissive role to them, as instruction to all women. If a woman is to submit to a man who correctly handles God's Word, it is in no way degrading to the woman and she never feels belittled. Meyers is very popular because she tells people the word, with her own interpretations mixed in and adds to God's Word instead of teaching in purity and only bringing out the existing truths. (you can not add to the truth, and still have truth.) Meyers has a place in the world by teaching what I call "spiritual candy" along with James Kennedy, they tell people much of what they want to hear, so the people keep coming back. I pray that the people who are drawn in have a good seed planted in their heart, so the Holy Spirit can nourish it and they will grow out of their craving for candy and dig into the meat of the Gospel. God Bless you Tim |

42 | how did we get our bible | Bible general Archive 3 | Tim3:16 | 179943 | ||
Hello Thorn, Your question is one with a history of hot debate and I hope does not prove to be a thorn in the side of any users of this forum. (o; I will attempt to answer as briefly as possible, though I will undoubtably leave out much useful information. For further clarification, all you need to do is ask. In classical Greek the world "canon" signifies properly, "a straight rod," or "a carpenter's rule." The sacred writings received the name of the "Canon of the Scriptures." When, therefore, we use the term we may mean one of two things, or, indeed, both: 1. The Canon of Truth--referring to the restriction of the number of books that compose the sacred volume. As such it was first used in the year A.D. 367. 2. The Rule of Faith and Life--referring to the application of the sacred Scriptures as a rule of our lives. In this sense it is used in Galatians 6:16; Philippians 3:16. The formation of the Old Testament canon was composed of the writings which spread over many centuries. The New Testament canon was gradually added to that of the Old Testament. But it was some considerable time after our Lord's ascension before any of the books contained in it were actually written. The Apocrypha contains fourteen books, namely, 1 and 2 Esdras, Tobit, Judith, the rest of Esther, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, the Song of the Three Children, the Story of Susannah, Bel and the Dragon, the Prayer of Manasses, and 1 and 2 Maccabees. The Apocryphal Books derive their name from a Greek word, apokruphos, which means "hidden." They are so called because they are,--(1) hidden; (2) of unknown authority; (3) spurious. They were not recognized as inspired books by the Jews, who regarded them, however as having high authority, and held them in high esteem as being a valuable history of their nation. Although they were carefully distinguished from the canonical Scriptures, their use was not only allowed, but many of them are quoted in Talmudical writings. They were given a place by themselves in the sacred volume, but with the distinct statement that they were not to be regarded as of equal authority with the books of the canon, their position being between the Old and New Testaments. We find them in some Bibles to-day--especially in Roman Catholic Bibles, since they are regarded by the roman church as inspired books. Following are from a book: "Seven Principles For Recognizing Canonical Books" by Bob and Gretchen Passantino Is it authoritative? Did it come with the authority of God? Is it prophetic? Was it written by a man of God? Is it authentic? Did it tell the truth about God, man, etc.? Is it dynamic? Did it come with the life-transforming power of God? Was it received (i.e. collected, read, and used)? Was it accepted by the people of God? Was it written by an authoritative writer, a founding stone of the church or an eyewitness to the events? Did the people who knew of the alleged events have the chance to falsify them? Copyright 2001 by Bob and Gretchen Passantino |

43 | 'virgin' or not after oral sex | Matthew | Tim3:16 | 178683 | ||
Webster's defines virgin as one who has not had intercourse. further, it defines intercourse as follows, 1 : heterosexual intercourse involving penetration of the (female) by the (male) --Words in Parenthesis edited by me. 2 : intercourse (as anal or oral intercourse) that does not involve penetration of the (female) by the (male) Fornication is just one form of adultery. So, if you are dissecting definitions, please define "virgin" -are you concerned about an oral virgin or a genital virgin? For general discussion, The term Virgin would understandably include all, meaning sexually un-violated, or pure. May God bless you as His word sheds light on all obstacles in your path as you grow near to Him. Tim |

Hi Doc, Yes, that is exactly what I was looking for, Israel referred to as a woman. And the twelve stars (Rev 12:1) are obvious to me, to be the twelve tribes, which are first spoken of in Joseph's second dream, (Gen 37:9) Thanks much, and God Bless. Tim |

52 | can we love unconditionally ? | Eph 5:25 | Tim3:16 | 173878 | ||
Thank you brother, you and Brad both answered quite well. To answer your curiosity, it was actually in pre-marriage counseling that the pastor gave me the directive to continue serving when I get home. I am in agreement, it would not make much sense to serve a boss all day long and be too tired to attend to my wife's needs when I get home. Sometimes though, I feel as if she expects a little too much, so I tell her she should be in anticipation, rather than expectation, -which was another counseling session from the same pastor. Thanks again and God bless |

53 | can we love unconditionally ? | Not Specified | Tim3:16 | 173809 | ||
Are we able to love one another unconditionally? Can we achieve agape love? I am just a working "stiff" (50 yrs old) but my pastor says in counseling sessions that our servanthood does not end at the end of our workday, we must continue to serve our spouse when we get home. I know that sometimes I am physically exhausted and unable to meet the demands of another, at least for a while. My fiance' sometimes drives a wedge into our godly relationship by comparing my love with the love that Christ Himself offers. She makes me feel deficient in love because my best is not good enough. This I feel is unfair because I know I will always fail at attempting to love her with God's agape love. Does the Bible command us to love one another with 100 percent 100 percent of the time? In His infailing love, Tim |

55 | Is Isaiah 57 the main theme of the book? | Is 57:1 | Tim3:16 | 171127 | ||
Hi Bobby99, Your question is thought provoking, which is one of my most significant reasons for logging on to this site, and I thank you for coming aboard. This is what I can come up with, and I hope many others chip in with their two or three cents worth as well: The first reason that comes to my mind pertaining to your question, is that the Book of Isaiah is often called "The Bible within the Bible" for (partly) the following reason. The Bible, in its Protestant version, contains 66 books. 39 Books in the Old Testament, and 27 Books in the New Testament. There is 66 chapters in Isaiah, with an obvious split, or change in tone, after chapter 39, causing some to suscribe to the theory of a different author to the latter 27 chapters, which is untrue. The reason I bring this up is that the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation is one entire Book, ( "THE" Book) that contains everything necessary that is pertaining to God's plan of salvation for mankind. It begins with God's placing man in paradise and it ends with God bringing man ( As many as who believe Him with integrity) home to paradise. (The rest, including idolaters and adulterers I will leave out for the sake of brevity) In this chapter, Isaiah offers observations of the judgements that the wayward Jews were bringing upon themselves in vss. 3–12 and also, in vss. 13–21, the grace of God upon His people as he brings comfort and deliverance to all those that place their faith in Him, as they enjoy privileges of membership to the church on earth, and will be brought in the end to the splendor and joys of heaven. I hope this helps you as you study further in this wonderful book! Tim |

56 | Mordechai - Esther's Uncle or Cousin? | Esth 2:15 | Tim3:16 | 170522 | ||
Susan66, This just goes to show that you cannot trust what you find on the internet, and you can find nearly anything. Whenever in doubt, simply see what God's word has to say. As you can see here, The King James Version says the same thing as the NASB or the Amplified. Here is the KJV as well. Tim Est 2:15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her. |

B50115, I will attempt to answer two more of your questions here, One, Where is God today? Well right now He is everywhere and in everything, and He exists outside of the constraints of time. For a good explanation on this go to www.marshill.org and click on the link for a very interesting message that will likely satisfy many of your curiosities. Two, There is nothing good on TV, at least not network TV. Even the news is driven by advertising dollars so they strive to deliver their own agenda. If you cannot trust the news anchor team to tell you the whole truth, who can you trust? The TV preachers? I try to stay away from most of them as well. Tim |

59 | explain john19:26/27 | John 19:26 | Tim3:16 | 170442 | ||
Hi Pastor, Welcome to the Forum. What devoted love, for Jesus to honor His mother with such an act of devotion, in spite of His present disadvantage! Christ was selflessly providing for his mother even through His own mortal agony. Sometimes, when God takes one comfort away from us, He brings another to take it's place. Christ's example here is teaching all men to honor their parents in any and every circumstance, and to provide for their comforts and desires by every available means. Now the brothers of Jesus were not in His presence at this point, since they were (at least until now) in doubt concerning His divinity. John is the sole apostle with enough fortitude to stand through to the end at the Cross, thus making him the suitable candidate. May the Lord Bless You as You Serve Him. Tim |
