61 | How can I start a bible study? | Bible general Archive 1 | benjamite | 36632 | ||
John is a great place to start. (I prefer book studies.) However, to answer your question, it all depends.... First, pray about it. Maybe these questions will help. Who's leading the study? (Obviously, in one sense, the answer should be God.) What kind of person is the human leader? Is he or she knowledgeable? Does this person already have access to a number of outside sources - commentaries and such - to help answer questions that might come up? How much preparation would you expect from those in the study? Where will the majority of the study be done? Will it bew at each person's home before each meeting? (A study guide might help considerably, here.) Will it be during the meeting? (If you pick a study guide, watch the time it takes to go through each lesson.) What does the leader (or group) want to do - book or study guide? Have you thought about maybe a study guide over a book? If the people at the local Christian bookstore If you look at study guides, here are a few questions to ask... "How 'user-friendly' is this?" "Am I convinced by what it says?" (if not, it will be hard to sell to the group) If the studying is all done together..."How long will each chapter/lesson take to go through?" Are the salespeople at your local Christian bookstore friendly? (More to the point, do they know their product? Could they walk you through the different study guides?) I realize that there are more questions here than answers, but maybe it will help you decide which way you want to go. In Him, Benjamite |

62 | What does men in Eph. 4:8 mean? | Eph 4:8 | benjamite | 36595 | ||
If your question is "Do women have spiritual gifts?" My answer is "yes". Remember, from my first post, the Greek word for men is the generic word for men - anthropos (you might recognize it in the word "anthropology" (had Paul wanted to mean only males, he would have used a form of the word "aner" - explicitly "male", "man", or "husband" and not "female", "woman", or "wife"). If your question is, "Should the gifts that are given be used anywhere and at anytime?" My answer (for either gender) is no. In an earlier post, I believe I gave Scripture references of 1 Corinthians 11 and 14. Actually, a better response would have been 1 Corinthians 11-14. If you truly want to know more about how the gifts are to be used, read those four chapters. Please don't get me wrong. I want to help your understanding of scripture as much as I can, and will continue to do so if I am able. Perhaps if you read it for yourself, the Lord is probably able to do something more than what I'm capable of doing here. |

63 | What does men in Eph. 4:8 mean? | Eph 4:8 | benjamite | 36538 | ||
We aren't talking about what happens outside the church. You asked about women being pastors. I assumed you meant inside the church. If you'll notice the top paragraph in the note you responded to, you'll see that I qualified my response, limiting it to a "normal 'mixed' church gathering ([meaning] both men and women)". Christ is the Head of the Church. What I say, doesn't matter. What He says, does. |

64 | What does men in Eph. 4:8 mean? | Eph 4:8 | benjamite | 36533 | ||
I'm not sure I understand your question. You asked me about a Biblical definition of "pastor". As far as the Greek word is concerned, there is no difference between a pastor or a shepherd- it is the same word. One tends a flock of sheep, the other tends a flock of people (the church). In usage, all instances except for the one in Eph 4:11, it is translated "shepherd" - with the qualification that Jesus refers to himself, and is refered to as the Shepherd or the Good Shepherd - John 10 and elsewhere. Did I answer your question? |

65 | "to spare the rod is to spoil the child" | Prov 13:24 | benjamite | 36482 | ||
I'm afraid that Proverbs 13:24 is about as close as I can get. I had to look this one up too. Apparently the familiar quote came from some other source. Perhaps Ben Franklin. :-) In Him, Benjamite |

66 | What does men in Eph. 4:8 mean? | Eph 4:8 | benjamite | 36151 | ||
We need to define our terms - "pastors" and "teachers". If you mean someone who teaches or shepherds a normal "mixed" church gathering (both men and women), the Bible explicitly says "No" - 1 Timothy 2:12, 1 Cor 14:34. As you see from my other post, "Pastor" is only used once in the New Testament - Eph 4:11. The word translated "pastor" is the greek word poimen - found 18 times in the New Testament and is usually translated "shepherd" (see Luke 2, John 10, and elsewhere). Can women teach other women? Yes. From Titus 2:3-5, "Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored."

"Pastor" is only used once in the New Testament Eph 4:11, however, the word translated "pastor" is the greek word poimen - found 18 times in the New Testament and is usually translated "shepherd" (see Luke 2, John 10, and elsewhere). |

68 | What does men in Eph. 4:8 mean? | Eph 4:8 | benjamite | 35939 | ||
Granted. It is elsewhere, though. Not as far as who gets (or who is) what gift, but how the gifts are used. The original question was about whether women can be pastors. My point was that this verse, based on the other scriptural evidence, does not give license to do so. 1 Cor 14:40 "But all things must be done properly and in an orderly manner." In Him, Benjamite |

69 | How many times is Jesus called Lord? | Bible general Archive 1 | benjamite | 35912 | ||
If by "Jesus" you mean after He was born, a search of the word "Lord" in the New Testament gives more than 500 occurrences of the word. "Lord Jesus" is found 103 times. "Lord Christ" is found twice (Rom. 16:18; Col 3:24) "Lord" is found in the same verse as "Jesus" or "Christ" in 179 verses. There are those who would argue that in the Old Testament "the Angel of the LORD" was the same person (God the Son) as the one who would be born "Jesus" - 56 times in 52 verses. Can I get by with saying "quite a lot"? In Him, Benjamite |

70 | Joshua 5:10, what date is that? | Josh 5:10 | benjamite | 35909 | ||
I'm not an expert in dating, as far as exact date. The Passover is in the spring (right around Easter - March or April). I usually date these events from the time of the Exodus (c. 1446 BC). 1446 BC - 40 years in the wilderness (BC counts backwards) so that would put us right around 1400BC. This is the third recorded Passover (cf. Exodus 12 and Numbers 9). Is that what you were looking for, or were you wanting something more specific? In Him, Benjamite |

72 | What does men in Eph. 4:8 mean? | Eph 4:8 | benjamite | 35885 | ||
I don't follow. We might say that "He gave gifts to 'people'". The greek is "anthropois", being the generic term. However, there are a couple points... 1) it doesn't say who got what gift. 2) it doesn't deregulate the usage of these gifts. The regulations are given in passages like 1 Tim. 2, 1 Cor. 11 and 14, among others. In Him, Benjamite |

73 | Definition of a bible bully | 1 Cor 13:4 | benjamite | 35872 | ||
Brother Eagle One, I have only been on this planet for two years longer than you've been saved, but I have noticed that Christians are human beings. We cannot get around it. Often, we say and do things that are in character with our sinful human nature but are way out of character with the Name by which we are called. I am definitely no exception. As you might be able to tell from some of my posts, there are some that I definitely should not have written. This may, and probably will, happen again. "Knowledge makes arrogant..." (1 Cor 8:1). I don't like this, but I have to deal with it. At the same time, I don't wish to be judged on the basis of those posts I should not have written, but some might do so. Realizing that I am just as prone as others to saying things that I shouldn't makes it easier to talk with people on the forum. It helps me to roll with the punches, and I try to be more understanding towards them and more cautious now in my own posts/responses than I was. Keep posting, Benjamite |

74 | Definition of a bible bully | 1 Cor 13:4 | benjamite | 35859 | ||
Does this verse (with the next 3) answer your question? Well, okay I'm not reformer Joe. I checked to see to which post you were referring to, but couldn't find any of your other posts, to understand the context. In Him, Benjamite |

75 | Where is this king from? | Dan 11:36 | benjamite | 35783 | ||
Fine, but that is not what I meant. There are those (I believe it was in the Jerome Biblical Commentary) who describe 40-45 as referring to Antiochus IV, but point out that it didn't take place (and also that this "author" of Daniel 11 was wrong about what would happen to Antiochus). Given that some see these verses as referring to both Antiochus and/or the Antichrist, I was allowing for these "kings" as opposed to just the Antichrist "king", I do, however, see from 36 onward as referring just to the Antichrist. | ||||||
76 | Where is this king from? | Dan 11:36 | benjamite | 35763 | ||
So basically, you are saying, in essence, that the king here, and in verse 40, is a king (or "are kings") of the North. |
||||||
77 | Where is this king from? | Dan 11:36 | benjamite | 35762 | ||
Okay, can I ask you to explain further? I mean are you taking Russia to be "the kingdom of the North"? Are you taking the Antichrist to be a third ruler? (outside of the kingdoms of the North and the South.) What verses would you look at? | ||||||
78 | Where is this king from? | Dan 11:36 | benjamite | 35726 | ||
Assuming that this hasn't happened yet, is this king from a third kindgom or is he, indeed, the King of the North? (With v. 40 starting with the King of the South coming against him, and then this King of the North retalliates and overpowers the King of the South.) | ||||||
79 | Tabernacle/Sacrificial Animals? | Heb 8:5 | benjamite | 35647 | ||
1. The pattern for the tabernacle was given in Ex 25-27 The golden calf incident happened in Ex. 32. The tabernacle wasn't constructed until Exodus 35 - after the golden calf incident. I hope this helps on the first question, if you could provide specific verses, perhaps they would help to answer the last two questions. In Him, Benjamite |
