61 | Vanagon: An inquiry | Not Specified | Hank | 31110 | ||
Vanagon, you have posted six questions at virtually the same time which seem to have a common denominator. Perhaps it would be of help to this forum in attempting to deal with your questions if you would divulge whether they come from the perspective of a believer or a skeptic. --Hank | ||||||
62 | TNIV: How Will It Affect Us? | Not Specified | Hank | 33319 | ||
The announcment of the forthcoming publication of Today's New International Version (TNIV) is creating quite a controversy among Christians, especially evangelicals. Do you feel that this will have any effect on the Bible buying public in the way they may view new translations in general? Will it lead to a trend away from "dynamic equivalent" and paraphrased versons and toward conservative and literally accurate versions? Will it cast doubt upon the motives and integrity of translation committees and Bible publishers? --Hank | ||||||
63 | How Should I Respond? | Not Specified | Hank | 35697 | ||
A friend of mine recently sent me an e-mail asking for scriptural support to the following: " 'Twas brillig and the blamfamings did frumiously outgrabe." I think he was pulling my leg. Is anyone familiar with this statement? How should I respond to it? --Hank | ||||||

67 | Can We Put God in the Dock? | Not Specified | Hank | 65318 | ||
Here is a statement from Post No. 65304: "God is now obligated." Can anyone justfy this statement by citing Scripture? Wherein does Scripture teach that we sinful human beings have the authority, the power, or the right to put God in the dock, to place, by any act of our will, the sovereign Lord under obligation of any kind? --Hank | ||||||
68 | Bible Versions Galore: Good or Bad? | Not Specified | Hank | 68928 | ||
To all you guys on the "Do you own a TNIV?" thread (and anyone else who may wish to weigh in): It might be useful to kick around some or all of the ideas suggested by the following questions: Do you find it soothing or confusing to have so many translations floating around? Do you think the gender-neutral versions good or bad, true to the text or pushing it too far? What do you consider the real motivation behind Bible publishers who come out with a new translation about as often as car makers come out with new models? Is there are real need for all these translations? Is a literal translation better or worse than a paraphrase, and why? Do so many versions tend to create a modern-day Tower of Babel atmosphere in churches and Bible study groups? Do you feel there is any likelihood of any one version rising above the commond herd to gain a lofty status anywhere near what the KJV has enjoyed for nearly four centuries? Do you think it's wise to stick to one version or play the field? Do you find study Bibles useful, or do you prefer to do your own digging? If you had to surrender all versions but one, which would you keep, and why? Have fun. Perhaps we all of us will learn something that will help us in our quest to learn more about God's word. --Hank | ||||||
69 | Can You Answer All Ten? | Not Specified | Hank | 80118 | ||
What should I call this? Perhaps, "Things I've always wanted to know but was afraid to ask." Having spent a couple of years on this forum, I've seen enough to know that just about every question under the sun has been asked at one time or another, thus giving me courage to ask a few myself.... 1. Does a person have to be saved to be baptized?.... 2. Who was the husband of Cain's wife?.... 3. Were the dinosaurs one of the lost tribes of Israel?..... 4. Should a person keep his salvation in a safe deposit box to keep from losing it?..... 5. Is it wrong to masticate?..... 6. If Jesus' brothers were really cousins, then doesn't that make Jacob and Esau twin cousins instead of twin brothers?..... 7. Is it o.k. to take a sun-bath on the sab-bath? 8. Does pre-destination mean that you arrive somewhere before you start?..... 9. In the United States, congressmen are elected but federal court judges are appointed. Does this mean that judges are not the elect but the congress is?..... 10. Does sea water have the same power to save as fresh water has?.... Well, I hope you enjoyed the questions, and I'm almost certain to enjoy your answers. To new users, browsers, lurkers, curiosity seekers and others of various stripes, be it known that these are what should be thought of as tongue-in-cheek questions. But even though they be such, they may serve you as a foretaste of what to expect on this forum. The only salient difference between my questions and legions of others that appear on this forum's menu with clockwork regularity is that mine are admittedly served to you in jest while others of no greater sense are not. --Hank | ||||||
70 | Conversation With God? | Not Specified | Hank | 83350 | ||
A certain well-known TV preacher in his address to a very large congregation related his conversation with God concerning some question that he, the preacher, had. In telling of the experience, the preacher repeatedly sprinkled his narrative with "God said (so and so) and I said (so and so). Then God said (so and so) and I said (so and so)." Thus he continued on and on with his account of his conversation with God. My question is, Is this the way God communicates with man today? Do Hebrews 1:2, 2 Timothy 3:16 and, for that matter, the entire Bible, have any relevancy in our time? Or can we, like the preacher reportedly did, strike up a conversation with God as we would with our next-door neighbor and get from Him personalized and instantaneous answers to our every question without having to bother to search the Scriptures? What does Scriptue say about how God communicates with man and man with God? --Hank | ||||||
71 | Active Homosexuals: Truly Christian? | Not Specified | Hank | 86945 | ||

72 | E Pluribus Unum: Strength in Numbers? | Not Specified | Hank | 91749 | ||
Previous posts on the subject of Bible translations seem to point to a censensus that a translation of the Scriptures carried out by a large group of qualiifed translators is preferable to the tranlsation of one person. The reasons for this preference are fairly obvious and have been stated before, so I won't attempt to recap them here. My question to you is this: If group translation is preferable to individual translation, why wouldn't annotations in a study Bible made by a group of Bible scholars be preferable to annotations made by an individual? Examples of study Bibles that represent joint effort by a group would include NASB (and NIV) Study Bibles, the King James Study Bible and the Believer's Study Bible. Individual effort would include Ryrie, MacArthur and Dake. What are your thoughts? --Hank | ||||||

74 | Can Monkeys Write Psalm 23? | Not Specified | Hank | 98436 | ||
