I will send Al your regards, Thanks.

63 | What is the true meanign of proverbs 18: | Prov 17:17 | Tim3:16 | 208705 | ||
Hi Crazyace, The best way to describe the Gist of the verse is brought to us, I feel, by the late Matthew Henry: "A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." (Pro 18:24) Solomon here recommends friendship to us, and shows, 1. What we must do that we may contract and cultivate friendship; we must show ourselves friendly. Would we have friends and keep them, we must not only not affront them, or quarrel with them, but we must love them, and make it appear that we do so by all expressions that are endearing, by being free with them, pleasing to them, visiting them and bidding them welcome, and especially by doing all the good offices we can and serving them in every thing that lies in our power; that is showing ourselves friendly. 2. That it is worth our while to do so, for we may promise ourselves a great deal of comfort in a true friend. A brother indeed is born for adversity, as he had said, ch. 17:17. In our troubles we expect comfort and relief from our relations, but sometimes there is a friend, that is nothing akin to us, the bonds of whose esteem and love prove stronger than those of nature, and, when it comes to the trial, will do more for us than a brother will. Christ is a friend to all believers that sticks closer than a brother; to him therefore let them show themselves friendly. I hope this helps, your friend in Christ, Tim |

64 | Where is Jesus Christ in Rev 4 | Is 11:2 | Tim3:16 | 208357 | ||
Hi John, This is what I have been led to think, since you asked. Well, first I must disagree with your interpretation of the seven lamps, which are explained in the context as the seven spirits. These, I believe, are actually listed in Isaiah 11:2 Tim |

65 | Is Satan expelled from heaven ? | Is 14:1 | Tim3:16 | 168648 | ||
When was satan (or Lucifer) cast out of heaven, or has it not happened yet? I am referring to Rev 12:9 when the dragon is cast out of heaven. | ||||||
66 | Is Satan expelled from heaven ? | Is 14:1 | Tim3:16 | 168653 | ||
Thanks BradK, Your answer was well done and answered me well. My girlfriend and I were having a studious discussion about the whereabouts of our adversary. She said that many preachers have told her that satan was indeed expelled from heaven already. I remarked that it will be one angry beast on his way to earth, and this is likely the point in time when the rapture is to take place. Would you be in agreement with me on this? Thanks for your response, may God Bless you and yours. Tim |

67 | Is Satan expelled from heaven ? | Is 14:1 | Tim3:16 | 168655 | ||
Thanks again, BradK, Yes. very helpful insight on your part. Your profile was interestingly similar to my history. I left the Catholic Church, stayed away from religion for years, then found a church that taught Relation, not Religion. This was more palatable than man-made doctrines. Now I attend a local Calvary Chapel, which I hear are very big on the West Coast. God Bless you Brother, and thanx again! Tim |

68 | Selfishness | Is 26:8 | Tim3:16 | 159629 | ||
Hi Night Jay, I have heard selfish people being accused of having "ingrown eyeballs". This is where they only want what is to their own advantage, and are unwilling to wait for these desires, (above and beyond what is essential for basic survival), and no sympathy or concern for others who may have to make sacrifices so they can get what they want when they want it. One example would be if two lovers were planning a wedding and the man says a small wedding would be fine, but the woman says she insists on a large wedding regardless of the cost or affordability. What we should do is seek the LORD in prayer and fasting, and search the Bible for the answer, asking for the guidance of the Holy Spirit God Bless, tim |

69 | what evil did the Lord create? Isah 45:7 | Is 45:7 | Tim3:16 | 160299 | ||
Our wonderfully omnipotent God has the ability to order as well as dispose of each our comforts, as well as all of our crosses, in this (or any) world. See John 1:3 "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." To me, this means He created the devil for the fulfillment of His divine will, and He also created the evil of punishment, and yes, also the evil of death. |

Yes. Every chapter and verse is just as relevant today as it was when it was first written. Remember, the game never changes, only the players get replaced. |

71 | 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 |

72 | God knows us before we are born | Jer 1:5 | Tim3:16 | 170064 | ||
You might like to take a look at Psalm 139, here are verses 13 thru 16 for you. God Bless, Tim. 13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. 14 I will praise You, for *I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. |

73 | Can God's directives oppose His Word? | Jer 2:23 | Tim3:16 | 162028 | ||
Is this directive to Hosea (1:2) not in opposition to God's Word, telling him to join with a prostitute, when elsewhere it says that whoremongers will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven? See also Proverbs 7:10 with 7:25 | ||||||
74 | Can God's directives oppose His Word? | Jer 2:23 | Tim3:16 | 162032 | ||
Thank you, Caldog, I know that God's ways are higher than ours, and I would never think of questioning His sovereignty. But I think this goes a little deeper than what you are referring to, don't you? What you say is that this happened before Christ. I think that God is unchanging, also, man is equally as sinful today as he was then. My perplexity arises from what God's inspired Word tells us in 1Cr 10:13: "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it." Thanks again, God Bless Tim |

75 | can someone clarify Jer 6:27 | Jer 6:27 | Tim3:16 | 184030 | ||
Hi K.E.Y. I can try to help, and would like to start in the beginning of the context, at verse 18. Here, God is appealing to all the neighbouring peoples, and the whole world, for His judgements against Judah and Jerusalem: Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, [even] the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it. You all wonder that I should bring evil upon this people, that are in covenant with Me, that profess relation to Me, that have worshipped Me, and have been highly favored by Me. You are ready to ask, Wherefore has the Lord done thus to this land? (see Deu. 29:24). Understand 1. "That it is the natural product of their actions, for trying to strengthen themselves by their alliance with foreigners, and 2. "That it is God's righteous punishment for their disobedience. They would never have been destroyed by God’s hand if they had not rebelled against the judgments of his mouth. God then speaks of the desolation that was about to come upon them. (v. 21) 1. God punishes because they hate to be taught His ways: I will lay stumbling-blocks before this people, not causing them to fall into sin, but into trouble. He describes in v. 24–26 the confusion which Judah and Jerusalem will be caught in at the approach of this great enemy, and as a sense of guilt tends to humble men, upon the threat of any trouble. What can those hope to do for themselves who have made God their enemy? And, in v. 27, God places His prophet as a judge over this people that are now experiencing the trials they caused upon themselves. See verse 1:10, I have set thee over the nations; which He again says here, I have set thee for a tower, meaning, a watchman upon a tower, among my people, as an inspector that thou may know, and try their way. Not that God needed anyone to inform him what was up; actually the prophet knew very little of them except through God's spirit of prophecy. But God was appealing to the prophet himself, and his observation concerning their behavior, that he might be satisfied in the manner of God’s judgement against them and be able to confidently give them warning of the judgments that are coming. God set him as a tower, conspicuous to everyone and persecuted by many, but made him as a strong fortress, giving him courage to withstand the shock of their displeasure. Now in testing their way he will be finding two things: 1. That they are wretchedly debauched (v. 28): 2. 2. They would not be reformed. it was useless to think of reclaiming them, for many methods had been tried, and all had failed, v. 29, 30. May God Bless You and Yours, Tim |

76 | the nation Israel referred to as a woman | Ezek 16:3 | Tim3:16 | 174428 | ||
Where can I find in the Bible where Israel is represented as a woman? I am concerned about the woman in Rev12:1, I believe the woman is the nation of Israel and am interested in using Scripture to find who she is. Thank you and God Bless, Tim |

77 | the nation Israel referred to as a woman | Ezek 16:3 | Tim3:16 | 174438 | ||
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 |

78 | Can we change God's Will? | Mal 3:6 | Tim3:16 | 142575 | ||
Is God's Will able to change or be adjusted according to our prayers, or is His will set in stone so we must make our desires line up with His will? | ||||||
79 | Can we change God's Will? | Mal 3:6 | Tim3:16 | 142578 | ||
Thanks for clearing that up, Kalos. I guess I was thinking about how things change, but you are right. Excellent verse reference! God Bless, Tim |

80 | '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 |
