81 | knowledge of God | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 169766 | ||
Hello, Dolly. "Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, all hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby" (1 Peter 2:1,2). --Hank | ||||||

b50115: If this is intended to be a question, friend, pray tell us what it is. Are you saying -- for so it seems -- to go to a NASA web site for answers to Bible questions? Hmmm...when did NASA get in the theology business? --Hank | ||||||
83 | I would like to know what purgatory is? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 170892 | ||
Dear Forever: The term 'purgatory' derives from a Latin root word meaning 'to purge' and is defined as being an intermediate state after death for expiatory purification. According to Roman Catholic doctrine, purgatory is a place or state of punishment wherein the souls of those who die in God's grace may make satisfaction for past sins and so become fit for heaven. The term 'purgatory' does not appear in Scripture. But Hebrews 9:27 does. --Hank | ||||||
84 | The meaning of number | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 171128 | ||
mino: Your questions contains the statement, "All number in the bible has a meaning." True enough, but most of the time the meaning is nothing more than than the quantity of something. In other words, it is incorrect to think that all numbers listed in the Bible have some arcane significance or constitute a code of some sort. But some numbers in certain contexts do have a particular significance, e.g., 7, 666, 40, etc. For a sensible, biblically sound discussion of biblical numerology, I invite you to go to www.gotquestions.org/Biblical-numerology.html. --Hank | ||||||

86 | farmer's almanac? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 171810 | ||
Dear Just: The Farmer's Almanac has been publishing useful information for folks since 1792, and I personally have nothing against it. However, not meaning to be curt or to jest, Just, I'm nevertheless having a bushel of trouble trying to figure out what your question about the Farmer's Almanac has to do with this Study Bible Forum. Perhaps you see a linkage between the two, but frankly I don't. ..... Here are a couple of interesting verses of Scripture about farmers: 2 Timothy 2:6 and James 5:7 --Hank | ||||||
87 | Why did God create evil? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 171815 | ||
Dear Theology PHD: Your question is assumptive, and there is no evidence in Scripture to support your assumption. --Hank | ||||||

90 | What is effeminate | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 172041 | ||
Johne: Presumably you had 1 Corinthians 6:9 in view when you asked what effeminate is. The passage says this: "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals." ..... Charles Ryie exegetes it thus: "_effeminate nor homosexuals_ Both expressions refer to homosexuals, the first to those who allow themselves to be used unnaturally, and the second to active homosexuals. Paul's warning is given against the background of incest, homosexuality, pederasty, and other unnatural sexual vices that were prevalent among the Greeks and Romans. Socrates and 14 of the first 15 Roman emperors practiced homosexuality." --Extract from Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, page 1825. ..... Word study note: The word in this passage translated effeminate in the NASB is from the Greek word malakos, meaning effeminate or soft. The word translated homosexuals comes from the Greek arsenokoites meaning sodomites. ...... To the point of your question I would observe that while in English the word 'effeminate' has several shades of meaning, in this particular passage -- which, by the way is the only passage in which the word appears in the NASB version of the Bible -- it has by its context and by the Greek word that supports the English translation, a very definite and specific meaning, which is the willful, consensual submission of one's own body to sodomy or other homosexual perversions. Thus, the Apostle is not labelling them merely as harmless 'sissies' or merely as males having feminine traits. No, Paul includes them in his list who, along with idolators, adulterers, drunkards, thieves and various other categories of the unrighteous who will not inherit the kingdom of God. Read Paul's complete list in 1 Corinthians 6:9,10. --Hank | ||||||
91 | Need complete definition of sexual immor | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 173110 | ||
vocab3802: The Bible does not address the subject of masturbation specifically, but consult the Forum's archives for copious comment upon this subject by typing the following key word in the search window: masturbation. --Hank | ||||||
92 | Is being slain in the Spirit biblical? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 173448 | ||
No, being "slain in the Spirit" is not a biblical term, and there is nothing in all Scripture that supports the practice of this garish farce. If it belongs anywhere at all, perhaps it would be at a Barnum and Baily circus or in a freak show at a carnival. But in an assembly of God's people? Never! --Hank | ||||||
93 | Respecting and Neighbors | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 173454 | ||
NightJay: This is a departure from your usual Bible-oriented questions, so I don't know what to tell you about your dilemma, not at least, anything based on Scripture. ..... What can we say? Walk softly and carry a big stick? Be careful of things that go bump in the night? Install a pad under your carpet if your budget will bear the cost? I really don't know...perhaps someone else has a head full of answers for you. But I confess your question was so inviting that I simply couldn't resist it, though it doubtlessly would have been better if I had. :-) ..... As a rule, we tend to make short business of questions that are not primarily Bible oriented. But you have been a faithful, long-term questioner and so we will perhaps be forgiven for making an exception in this instance. There is a verse in Proverbs that might help you and your mom get along more amicably with your choleric neighbors: "A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger" (Proverbs 15:1). --Hank | ||||||
94 | Advice on how it should not be practiced | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 173455 | ||
The burden of proof is upon the promoter or practitioner of the 'slain in the spirit' antics. Ask him to produce incontrovertible scriptural proof that justifies the practice. Scriptural proof. Not what Benny Hinn says or does! Benny Hinn's opinion on theological matters is no better than mine, and mine isn't worth a cup of yesterday's coffee :-) The word of God, and that only, is the authority, the SOLE authority, for our faith and practice. Scripture alone -- not the opinions and practices of TV charlatans or anyone else -- is God-breathed and is profitable for doctrine (teaching), for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. See 2 Timothy 3:16. We all of us have need to be a Berean, (see Acts 17:10,11) and search the Scriptures daily in order to ascertain whether what we are being taught and asked to believe is so. If the doctrine we hear is not to be found between the covers of God's word, we may rest assured that that doctrine is false, bogus, ascriptural, and totally worthless. Of such is the deceptive 'slain in the spirit' foolishness. --Hank | ||||||
95 | should we know grow and mature as Jesus | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 173583 | ||
Wisdom: Your question is curiously phrased, viz., "...what gives us the right to speak against maturing in Christ Jesus...? Being totally unaware for over half a century that such a "right" existed, I'll ask of you whence it came and when and from whom you learned about it. Perhaps you erred in inadvertently asking the Forum an assumptive question when a plain, unvarnished question would have fit the bill much better? You are welcome to revise your question and submit it anew if you like. --Hank | ||||||

97 | can someone explain the holy ghost? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 173891 | ||
Dear david's daughter: Please permit me to suggest that you go to the following web site, gotquestions.org, use their search engine and type in the words Holy Spirit. This will lead you to a score of good articles on the Holy Spirit. Show them to your teenaged nephew and let him read them. He will discover among other things that the Holy Spirit is a Person, the third member of the Triune God, referred to by the personal pronoun "He" and never by "It" -- and decidedly not something you "catch" like a cold or the measles! "Holy Spirit," as you probably already know, is modern English usage for "Holy Ghost," which reflects the Jacobean English of the King James Bible of 1611. --Hank | ||||||
