81 | Quest for Truth | Josh 10:12 | Hank | 6478 | ||
Don't you feel, Lionstrong, that the Bible gives an adequate definition of what truth is? Passages are ample. As good a place as any to begin the search is John 14:6. The Bible, for me, is a more reliable resource in one's quest for absolute truth than scientific or philosophic "truth" whose definitions are ever changing, or anyone's opinion whose worth is essentially worthless. --Hank | ||||||
82 | Defining "Truth" | Josh 10:12 | Hank | 6601 | ||
Lionstrong, are you seriously searching for spiritual truth, or is it some other kind of truth that you have in mind? If it is the latter, I don't think this forum is the proper medium on which to address some kind of esoteric, philosophical definition of truth. Why do you continue to press your point, whatever it is, unless you merely wish to amuse yourself in the manner of a cat toying with a mouse? You say that "truth" is not defined in Scripture. If spiritual truth is not defined in Scripture, where are you going to find the definition? If the general, generic definition of "truth" is what you want, avail yourself of a dictionary. Why must we push issues on this forum beyond the limit of propriety? To what avail is it? It benefits no one to have the same old issues, some of them pointless to begin with, debated ad nauseam. --Hank | ||||||

89 | How Do You Stay on Track? | Ps 23:3 | Hank | 116922 | ||
The NASB translators' marginal note on the phrase in Psalm 23:3 "He guides me in the PATHS of righteousness" is "lit. TRACKS." I like the imagery that these words evoke in my mind. God guides me in the tracks of righteousness..... I've always liked trains. When I was a small boy I used to take short (18-mile) train trips with my parents from our home in a rural area of north Georgia to the "big city" of Chattanooga, Tennessee. In recent years I've traveled by Amtrak on several occasions from my home in Arkansas to both the east and west coasts of our country. The trips have been pleasant and safe, because the trains I've ridden have stayed steadily on track. But not all of them do! When trains jump track, they make headlines and not good-news headlines either. In many cases injury and death ensue in the wake of a train wreck. But isn't it a comforting thought that God guides His children in the tracks of righteousness. He keeps them safe and on track in a spiritual sense. What are some other Bible passages that give YOU comfort and assurance in the providence of God in keeping your life "on track"? --Hank | ||||||
90 | The Sovereignty of God | Ps 103:19 | Hank | 124597 | ||
"You don't hear much preaching these days," said David Jeremiah in a sermon broadcast on radio this afternoon, "on the sovereignty of God." He told of his amazement to find in Charles Haddon Spurgeon's sermons such a large number of sermons on God's absolute sovereignty. Dr. Jeremiah offered a large list of reasons why he believed that the subject of the sovereignty of God has grown so unpopular in the world today, even in the pulpits and pews of Christian churches. Without writing a full report on Dr. Jeremiah's sermon, I'll ask the Forum: Is it important to teach and preach and meditate upon the sovereignty of God? Why? And why do you think it has become so unpopular a subject? (Has humanism crept into the thinking of Christians? And how would this affect their thinking about the sovereignty of God?) Lastly, what does the Bible say about God's sovereignty? --Hank | ||||||
91 | What do we know about Satan? | Ps 109:6 | Hank | 40247 | ||

92 | Meaning of Inerrant and Infallible? | Ps 119:89 | Hank | 10180 | ||
The Bible has been described as being "infallible" as well as being "inerrant." What does each term mean? Are the two terms synonymous? --Hank | ||||||
93 | External and Internal Evidence? | Ps 119:105 | Hank | 10197 | ||
As they pertain to the Bible or books of the Bible, what do the terms "external evidence and "internal evidence" mean? --Hank | ||||||
94 | How may faith be made stronger? | Prov 3:5 | Hank | 3821 | ||
Many Christians I have known, including myself, have confessed that they at times have felt that their faith (or trust) in God was not as strong as it should have been. Please share your experience and suggest helps for believers who have struggled, or may now be struggling, with this problem. And in keeping with the aims of this Forum, be sure to base your comments on the written Word. --Hank | ||||||
95 | When is "Bible Graduation Day"? | Prov 9:9 | Hank | 5014 | ||
Studying the Bible seems so challenging, so daunting at times. What little I have learned about it pales in contrast to all the things I neither know nor understand. I become discouraged sometimes. Do you feel this way too? We're not alone! Please allow me to share with you a thought along these lines from the mighty pen of St. Augustine, than whom few other persons have delved so deeply for so long into God's eternal Word. He said that even if all he did was simply study the Scriptures and "nothing else, from boyhood to decrepit old age, with the utmost leisure, the most unwearied zeal, and with talents greater than I possess, I would still be making progress in discovering their treasures." His wise words minister to me today, and I pray they will give you too a measure of hope and renewed zeal in your quest to learn more about this blessed Book. --Hank | ||||||

97 | Mark: Many Proverbs not true? | Prov 22:6 | Hank | 183660 | ||
Mark - In your Post 183496, speaking of Proverbs, you said, There are many that are not exactly true in every instance." A few days ago in Post 183502 I asked you to name a few Proverbs and explain why they are not true. Two things bother me about this situation, Mark. The first thing is that the book of Proverbs is Scripture, and it troubles me to read on this Forum that any part of Scripture is viewed as being "not exactly true in every instance." The second thing that troubles me is that you have not responded to my request. Will you please do so at your earliest convenience? --Hank | ||||||
98 | TNIV: How Will It Affect Us? | Prov 30:6 | Hank | 33331 | ||
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 | ||||||
99 | What creatures are small and wise? | Prov 30:24 | Hank | 5066 | ||
Proverbs 30:24-28 lists four things that are small but wise. What are they and why are they wise? What is the lesson or message for us? --Hank | ||||||
