61 | Even if the root word is branch, how did | Matt 2:23 | newoldstock | 95268 | ||
Thanks Emmaus. Amplified says in brackets "branch or Separated One". I think that separated one would be Nazarite. Such as one who has taken a Nazarite vow.I appreciate your help, but to me it looks like the commentators are really reaching out on a "thin branch" for this one. Even if the root word is branch, how did Matthew get "He shall be called a Nazarene" from "then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse,And a branch from his roots will bear fruit."? Perhaps this quote is from a book that is missing or didn't make it into the Cannon. Jim | ||||||
62 | I don't understand how we can interpret | Matt 2:23 | newoldstock | 95291 | ||
Ray, thanks. I agree with you about (Rod) and (He). I am convinced that Isaiah is prophesying about Jesus the Messiah. I don't understand how we can interpret that (branch) is (Nazarene). It almost seems like biblical scholars came up with this reference verse to make something fit when they could not find a direct match. God Bless. Jim | ||||||
63 | I don't understand how we can interpret | Matt 2:23 | newoldstock | 95302 | ||
I just researched this topic further and found The following notes from The Blue Letter Bible, David Guzik Commentary Study Notes: a. The phrase He shall be called a Nazarene is not a Biblically recorded prophecy, but probably just a well known rabbinic prophecy or interpretation b. Since to be a Nazarene was a special mark of holiness, it seemed natural that the Messiah would be a Nazarene; but Matthew shows how this was true in a different way - He was from the city of Nazareth, though not a Nazarene through a vow c. Remember that Nazareth was a city that did not have a particularly good reputation (John 1:46); yet the Father did not feel it necessary to have Jesus come from a "good" city |

64 | "He shall be called a Nazarene."? | Matt 2:23 | newoldstock | 145471 | ||
I can't believe that this string is resurected after all this time! I'm baaaaaack. Yes, there is a big difference between Nazarite and Nazarene and this verse still perplexes me, but I know that my Lord Jesus is in control and not old Jim so some day He will clear it up for me. Amen. | ||||||
65 | "He shall be called a Nazarene."? | Matt 2:23 | newoldstock | 145474 | ||
Prayerwarrior, I do not believe that David Guzik's interpretation (b) is correct. God bless, Jim |

69 | Should a divorced person remarry? | Matt 5:31 | newoldstock | 92518 | ||
Should a divorced man or woman remarry? Mat.5:31-32 has perplexed me. I am married to a woman for 33 years now who was previously married and divorced for reasons other than unfaithfullness. We are Christians so I know that God has forgiven this "sin" (was it?), but do we continue to sin by remaining married? Would it be a greater sin to now divorce due to continuing to make each other Adulterers and Adulteresses? | ||||||
70 | Should a divorced person remarry? | Matt 5:31 | newoldstock | 92537 | ||
Justme, thanks for the kind welcome. I guess, that I have a problem with this scripture. I still question should people get divorced? If they do, should they remarry? Divorce occurs often amoung Christians, especially high ratio amoung pastors that I have been aquainted with. It is hard to stop a divorce when the other person wants it badly enough. You can try counseling, begging, changing habits, and standing on your head, but divorce may be inevitable. I was being facicious and debating Mat.5:32, when I said "would it be a greater sin to divorce now?". I have no intention of divorcing my wife of 33 years. Is it better not remarry and "burn in passion" than to remarry and commit adultery? Since this follows scripture on cutting off your hand and gouging out your eye, could these verses also be hyperbole? God Bless. | ||||||
71 | Should a divorced person remarry? | Matt 5:31 | newoldstock | 92582 | ||
Justme, excellent thought process. You covered almost every base. Your answer is pretty much how I feel about divorce and remarriage. Pray, think, and envolve God in your marriage. You and your spouse become one and God makes 2. Thanks, for your answer. God Bless you. | ||||||
72 | Should a divorced person remarry? | Matt 5:31 | newoldstock | 93155 | ||
Thanks for all of your help. I didn't realize that this thread was still alive and growing. My wife and I were not born again Christians when we were married. I have only been married to her. She was the one previously married. I have taught bible classes and studied the bible for years and this verse has definitely confused me as Justme thought. Also as George thought though I have been convicted by the verse. I have repented and asked for God's forgiveness concerning this sin and a know that He has forgiven me. I do not think that we are continuing to sin by remaining married. Divorce would be a greater sin at this point. Thanks, again. | ||||||

BTW, I do know that to God sin is sin. We humans rank sin values. | ||||||
74 | What is the meaning of Matthew 11:12? | Matt 11:12 | newoldstock | 93394 | ||
What is the meaning of Matthew 11:12? I have heard several theories, but it is a confusing verse for most. I'm am not so sure about the Amplified's brackets on this one. I am studying Mat. tonight and decided to ask you kind folks your interpretation. Many thanks. Jim. | ||||||

76 | What is the meaning of Matthew 11:12? | Matt 11:12 | newoldstock | 93400 | ||
Hank, I just checked Luke 16:16. Your answer makes sense when viewing both scriptures and looking at the context of prior and following verses. The "inductive" method of Bible study does indeed work. Thanks, Jim. | ||||||

79 | How do we discipline church members? | Matt 18:15 | newoldstock | 93408 | ||
This question is concerning a true event that was recently related to me and is not hypothetical. A woman told her husband, a church deacon, that she could not longer stand being married to him. She moved out and within two weeks moved in with another man. She continued to attend the church with the new boy friend. The pastor spoke to her about the unappropriateness of her continuing to attend church under the circumstances. She replied that she loved the church and the congregants and had no intention of leaving their fellowship. The minister next visited her with several other deacons to discuss the situation, but she still continued to attend services with her new man. Finally, the minister brought the situation up in a church service attended by the woman and the man, and she ran out the door in tears and never returned. These are the only details that I know. Was this the correct way to handle this? How would your congregation have handled it? | ||||||
80 | Ogran donation? | Mark 12:31 | newoldstock | 95316 | ||
There is no specific verse that I know of that would directly address organ donation, but this one works for me. Mark 12:31 "The second is this, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' There is no other commandment greater than these." | ||||||
