EdB: Greetings! Hope you are having a good weekend. No, I do not have the printed edition of the NET Bible. I am seriously thinking of getting one. I want it for the wealth of Translators' Notes it provides, notes which go beyond the Greek word and its barebones definition. Did you know the printed edition is 2300 pages long and packed with notes which, in turn, are packed with useful information? I, too, would like to hear from someone who actually has the printed edition to know what they think of it. You make a good point when you write regarding the article I quoted, "you have to remember it is written from a Dallas Theological perspective." Yes, and I do keep that in mind when I read their articles and studies. It may surprise you to know I do not agree with every last interpretation of endtimes teaching that Dallas Theological holds to. At least the people at the website have the integrity to let it be known that they agree with the theology of Dallas Theological Seminary. We always need to know what, if any, denominational or theological bias any given writer or teacher has. That's why I don't put too much stock in a website by some gung-ho preacher-teacher who doesn't list his affiliations. Your brother in the Lord, kalos |

4202 | No Grounds to Spiritualize Rev. 20:4 | Rev 20:4 | kalos | 179376 | ||
"Many make the false assumption that Psalms 90:4 repeated in 2 Peter 3:8 that "one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day" is grounds to spiritualize Revelation 20:4. This is obviously a figure of speech. It does not say that one day is a thousand years." (http://www.revelationcommentary.org/20_chapter.html) |

'A common problem among interpreters of the Bible is that of "shifting gears". If a person approaches his interpretation of the Bible with, for example, a face value hermeneutic, then it is critical that he remain consistent with his approach. However, many often "flip flop" in their interpretation approach to maintain a preconceived understanding of a text. An example of this is the above. Preterists interpret "this generation" in the simple sense as meaning the generation concurrent with Christ and then suddenly "shift gears" and apply a figurative approach to arrive at a spiritualized understanding of the Rapture and the resurrection. That is an inconsistent hermeneutic and leads to error.' ____________________ (Did Jesus Already Return in AD 70? By Rev. Bill Lee-Warner) (http://www.solagroup.org/articles/endtimes/et_0003.html) |

4204 | Death of death? | Rev 20:14 | kalos | 7671 | ||
Nolan: Thank you for the good information on death and Hades. Indeed "death is the condition and Hades...the place of the dead." Since it is persons, not conditions or places, that are tormented, then the logical (and biblical) conclusion would be that, no, death and Hades are not tormented forever. I suppose that if one asks the same question enough times, he may eventually get the answer he wants to hear. |

Tim: You write: "...simply pick out a distinctive sentence and using quotation marks, enter it into your search engine. Thank you for the information. I find it incredibly useful. Although I have been using Google Search and posting to the Forum for years, I did not know that finding the source or full text of a quote was just that simple. For example, a few minutes ago I was looking for the text of the Preface to the New King James Version. First, I entered "Preface New King James Version" in the search field at Google. It returned links to many websites, none of which contained the full text of the Preface. Then I remembered your post and entered word for word a brief quote from the Preface in Google Search. Google immediately returned a link to the full text. From here on out I know I will be making extensive use of this method of finding a text or document. Many thanks to you for the information. Grace to you, Kalos |

Plagiarism Repost of ID# 61096: From the Lockman Foundation: "I want to include a quote from another work in my posting. Can I do that? "If you are not the original creator of the content you submit, you must not violate the rights of the copyright holder by submitting your content without the permission of the copyright holder. You must follow the instructions for quoting material as provided by the copyright holder. You must usually document the title, author, publisher name, and copyright year." (Lockman Foundation) _______ ____: Grace and peace to you. None of the following is intended as harsh criticism of you. Instead, I write what I do to help you avoid certain problems in future postings. When quoting a published source in your postings, great care and attention to detail must be taken to avoid charges of copyright violation or plagiarism -- neither of which I accuse you. I merely point these things out to you. First, according to the Lockman Foundation, "You must usually document the title, author, publisher name, and copyright year" of the material you are quoting. For example, it would have been better in your post had you placed the following information at the bottom of the page, enclosed in parentheses: (UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE: Interpretation, The Ryrie Study Bible, Charles Caldwell Ryrie, Moody, 1976, 1978) Second, when using direct quotations, by all means enclose them in quotation marks. Third, avoid editing the quoted material. The safest course is to quote it verbatim. For example, you attribute the content of your posting to the Ryrie Study Bible. Then you write in quotes: "These are suggestions only, towards basic concepts of interpretation..." The actual quote in Ryrie's own words is: "These suggestions are simply facets of the basic concept of plain interpretation." To paraphrase Ryrie's sentence as you did is to alter the meaning the author intended. Again please do not take this post as a rebuke. That is the furthest thing from my mind. I appreciate you and the post you submitted. You make excellent points there. My only motive is to spare you any problems that might arise from not giving proper attribution. Grace and peace be multiplied to you, Kalos |

American Standard Version (1901) and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. NASB and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book. NIV And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. NRSV if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away that person's share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. Holman Christian Standard Bible And if anyone takes away from the words of this prophetic book, God will take away his share of the tree of life and the holy city, written in this book. TEV And if any take anything away from the prophetic words of this book, God will take away from them their share of the fruit of the tree of life and of the Holy City, which are described in this book. New Living Translation And if anyone removes any of the words of this prophetic book, God will remove that person's share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book. New Century Version And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away that one's share of the tree of life and of the holy city, which are written about in this book. GOD'S WORD Translation If anyone takes away any words from this book of prophecy, God will take away his portion of the tree of life and the holy city that are described in this book. World English Bible If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. The Bible in Basic English And if any man takes away from the words of this book, God will take away from him his part in the tree of life and the holy town, even the things which are in this book. The Darby Translation And if any one take from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. Wesley's New Testament and that if any one takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take from him his share in the Tree of Life and in the holy city--the things described in this book. The point of my answer is that in Revelation 22:19 the editors of the NASB, NIV and 11 other translations of the Bible chose the reading "tree of life" rather than "the book of life." In these 13 translations "How does God take away his part out of the book of life?" becomes a moot question. |

Henry and Emmy: I believe as a child that what is written IN THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS of the Scriptures is true. I do not believe, based on one word in one verse in one translation, that one's name can be erased from the book of life. Do you really believe that one word in one verse in one translation refutes every point made in my first post (How can I be certain God won't erase my... ")? Grace and shalom, kalos |

You write: "To take the words of strangers that Greek words mean certain things is not really helpful to me." If you cannot or will not take the word of people who have devoted their lives to studying the Bible in the original languages, then how can you trust any translation of the Bible? To trust any translation is to trust strangers "that Greek words mean certain things." Grace to you, kalos |

I do not know what you mean by "original translation." I know what original manuscripts means, but "original translation"? Would that be Jerome's translation of the NT from Greek into Latin? What I mean is what I said, i.e., that I do not place blind trust in one translation, especially when the one disagrees with 13 other translations and the Greek text. Whether we know Greek or do not know Greek is beside the point. The fact is every English version is a TRANSLATION of the Greek. Surely you do not believe that a translation is MORE accurate and trustworthy than the original Greek text, do you? |

One who carelessly reads your post (to which this is a reply) could get the impression you are saying that we can't trust the Bible, whether in the original or in a translation; all we can trust is our own subjective feelings about what is true. I know this is not what you are saying. Nevertheless it would be easy for a reader to get the idea that this is what you are saying. Christ has given to the church teachers. Teachers speak. They also write books. Let us not lightly dismiss those gifted teachers whom Christ has given to the church. Moreover, in your last half dozen posts, you still do not address the points made in my original post in this thread. In a discussion it is helpful if one responds to the points made by the other person. On the other hand, what I sincerely appreciate about you is that you are always kind and loving in your Answers and Notes. I've seen nothing but a Christlike attitude in your writings. You set a good example for all of us. God bless you, kalos |

Experience is not authoritative... the Bible is. ____________________ "The only Word of God that we are ever enjoined to listen to is not the word that comes into our spiritual ears, as it were, from the spiritual ozone, but the Word that comes from the Scriptures." ____________________ 'For me to say the Bible doesn't teach this and then someone to say, "Well, here's what happened to me." All they are telling me is what happened to them. They are not proving to me that God was involved with it just because it happened to them. That's precisely what's in question. I'm not questioning the experience, I'm questioning the source and the validity of the experience. Experience is not authoritative to me...What is compelling to me is to go to the Scriptures and to show in the Scriptures where such a thing is a discipline.' (...) 'What happens here is that people don't do the hard work of learning...There is a distinct difference between the work of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament and that of the Old. The New being the fulfillment of the promise of Jeremiah 31 and Ezekiel 37 and following in Joel and a number of other places of the giving of the New Covenant. 'Now, here is what is interesting to me. I was having a conversation with a friend who...believes that this is an appropriate thing for Christians, yet at the same time this person didn't have a clear understanding of the difference between the old covenant and the new with regards to the working of the Holy Spirit, which is fundamental in understanding how to look at Christian life. 'This is my fear, ladies and gentlemen, and I'll end with this point. This skill is being offered, and what it ultimately involves, what it ultimately ends up being is a short cut to the real McCoy of knowledge and spiritual growth. Instead of investing our time learning the truth and working at making it a part of us so that we have a good understanding of the truth from the front to the back, from the beginning to the end, from Genesis to Revelation, we opt out for an easy way out, which is to let God just tell us and therefore we are not equipped. 'Not only that, but a lot of times when God tells us, what He tells us is false because it's not God telling us. So we've got a lot of screwy things going on with people who believe this kind of thing, and instead of being devoted to developing spiritual maturity and attaining Scriptural knowledge we want the quick fix, and then we call the quick fix spiritual maturity and knowledge. That's what is ironic about it. Instead of devoting ourselves to developing real maturity and attaining genuine Scriptural knowledge we go for the quick fix, and instead of developing mastery we want the Master to be sitting next to us during the tests of life whispering His answers in our ears. Do you know what that's called, ladies and gentlemen? That's called cheating. 'And there is no guarantee and no teaching and no instruction in the New Testament or Old that this is the way that we are to live our lives on a day to day basis. The only Word of God that we are ever enjoined to listen to is not the word that comes into our spiritual ears, as it were, from the spiritual ozone, but the Word that comes from the Scriptures. That's the one that we are told to learn, listen, heed, abide and hide in our heart.' ____________________ (www.str.org/free/commentaries/life/heargod.htm) |

Is the Bible a "simple" Book? Simple defined. "9 : readily understood or performed [simple directions]" (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary). If the Bible really is readily understood, then why have Forum members asked 18,679 questions about it in the last three years? Hank: That the Bible is NOT a simple book is a simple fact of reality. For example, over a period of three years the Forum has had a total of 109,475 postings. Most of these have been submitted by people who claim to be taught by the Holy Spirit. But after all that people still can't agree on the meaning of this "simple book". What do you think? --kalos |

Some stranger has defined "scripture" (Greek: "graphe", Strong's Number: 1124) as "a writing, thing written; the Scripture, used to denote either the book itself, or its contents; a certain portion or section of the Holy Scripture". What do these definitions have in common? That scripture is written. It is in writing. |

4218 | Four Common Views of the End Times | Rev 21:2 | kalos | 190535 | ||
Revelation: Four Basic Views 'There are four basic approaches to interpreting Revelation: 'Preterist - Those who subscribe to this view believe that the events in Revelation took place in the first-century Roman empire. 'Idealist - This view holds that Revelation is full of a cosmic struggle between good and evil. It is a book that contains stories of spiritual truth, but no literal events or prophecy. There is no connection to historical events. 'Historicist - Events are seen generally from history rather than as specific events. There are no time limitations placed on the book. 'Futuristic - This view insists that Revelation chapter 6 to 22 refer to future events. Regarding this view, John MacArthur says, "Only this view does justice to Revelation's claim to be prophecy and interprets the entire book by the consistent grammatical-historical method used for the rest of Scripture."' ____________________ Source: www.allaboutpopularissues.org/meaning-of-the-book-of-revelation-faq.htm |

There is nothing in the Bible to indicate that they could see what we were doing and there is every reason to assume that they could care less about that.

And you will be taken into the rapture of having reached perfection. There will be no desire on the part of anybody to look back here. And there is no indication that they can see back here anyway.
