81 | Islamic View of Crucifixion? | John 1:4 | flinkywood | 98466 | ||
Hank, here's what Muhammad says: "That they said (in boast), 'We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Apostle of God'; - But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no certain knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of surety they killed him not: Nay, God raised him up unto Himself; and God is Exalted in Power, Wise; - And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgement He will be a witness against them: -" Sura 4: 157-159 (Abdullah Yusuf Ali, translator). There's your answer. Colin. |

82 | Eph 1:3-14 is this a complete sentence? | Eph 1:1 | flinkywood | 97173 | ||
Trumpet, Good question. I found an answer in the NIV study bible coomentary. Verses 3-14 are "All on sentence in Greek, this section is often called a "doxology" because it recites what God has done and is an expression of worship to honor Him. Pauls speaks first of the blessings we have through the Father (v. 3), then of those that come through the Son (vv.4-13a) and finally of those through the Holy Spirit (1:13b-14)" I didn't know that. Colin. |

83 | What is a cult? | Matt 16:15 | flinkywood | 90727 | ||
I note your tone as decidely more propagandistic than in the past. You come here to stir up trouble and lead young believers astray. You like to do this. You are that wolf in sheep's clothing. Your name is a lie. |
||||||
84 | What is a cult? | Matt 18:6 | flinkywood | 90718 | ||
Yes to all your questions. You are a cult member, maybe even one of its leaders, by the sound of you. Jesus is God, you will see. (Mat 18:6): "but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea." (NASB) |

85 | act as if you had faith - verse? | Rom 12:3 | flinkywood | 88531 | ||
Rom 12:3 "...God has allotted to each a measure of faith." (NASB) Octotex, we are each alloted a measure of faith. Like Abraham, a bold example, we should act "in" this faith we've been given. It is quite another thing to act "as if" we had faith so as to gain it. God does not reward phoniness. Proverbs 16:2 "All the ways of a man are clean in his own sight, But the LORD weighs the motives." (NASB) And, Gal 6:7 "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap." (NASB) God is not mocked. Can you think of a few televangelists who should beware? |

86 | NASB Updated and ESV. | 1 Chr 20:3 | flinkywood | 86064 | ||
Justme, do a search for esv and nasb on this site. Make your query exclude dates before Nov 2001. Colin. 1Ch 20:3 And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem. KJV |

87 | Using the oldest manuscripts as best? | Mark 16:20 | flinkywood | 79765 | ||
Justme, modern textual criticism is in flux, which annoys many English speaking Christians, a fractious bunch by any definition. For my money it's the NASV, though I also read the NKJV, KJV, LITV, and now the ESV. Here's a link that might help answer your question. http://www3.sympatico.ca/jrm/kjv.htm Colin |

88 | I'm interested in the facts. | 1 John 4:1 | flinkywood | 76343 | ||
2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Try this place for starters: http://www.cob-net.org/compare.htm |

89 | Why is KJV so different from NASB? | Hag 2:7 | flinkywood | 70930 | ||
Ionna, the KJV and the NASB are based on different texts: the KJV on the "Received Text", the NASB on the "Critical Text". There are several, some would say significant, differences between the two. Do a search on this site for "Critical Text", and you'll likely find many posts on this topic. Colin | ||||||
90 | Adam and Eve the first people created? | Luke 17:1 | flinkywood | 70778 | ||
All-Cing-I, first, the Bible, not folklore, would have us believe that God formed (not created) Adam, and Eve from his rib. Hard to believe, but the bible tells me so, so I accept it on faith. The story of Noah is also hard to swallow, but Jesus Himself, God incarnate, used Noah as an example: Luk 17:27 "They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all." If Jesus says the ark story is true, it's true, not folklore. Here again, a citation from the Gospel of Luke: Luk 3:38 "Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God." Adam and Eve are historically true; they are not allegory, not metaphor, not myth, but gospel truth. Paul believed: 1Ti 2:13,14 "For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." Not folklore. As for Gen 1.26: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." "Us" here may be the first revelation of the tripartate nature of God: Father, Son, Holy Ghost. God made man in His image, not the angels, so who else could he be talking to, or about? |

91 | The NKJV? | 2 Sam 21:19 | flinkywood | 68796 | ||
Markarios, first, the NKJV translators' intro gives, it seems, a balanced overview of the textual sources issue, while also observing that the whole field of textual scholarship is "in flux". What other intro offers that kind of straight talk? I like them for that very much. The NKJV also sounds close to KJV and has a lot of its musicality, and I sometimes use it for KJV passages I don't quite get. That said, the KJV, like Shakespeare, demands focus, so I try not to jump into other translations without first giving it a full chance to speak to me. All these translations make a cacaphony at times, so I discipline myself to stay with the KJV more than I do any other. To answer your question, I feel as though the NKJV has missed something, I don't know what it is, just a feeling that somehow they've missed the mark, either qualitatively or musically, a little wet behind the ears, perhaps; I just can't put my finger on it. Why the NKJV when you can get the real McCoy? something like that. "Other than that I like it fine," he said with a shrug. I know a guy, a parking lot attendant from Belize. I'm driving into his building one day and notice he's reading the KJV. I asked him how he liked it. He said he had no high school education, had been reading it all his Christian life, used a dictionary as a study aid, and prayed over the stuff he didn't understand. Now that's translation, Makarios. Colin |

92 | Reliability of King James version? | Is 55:10 | flinkywood | 63746 | ||
Isa 55:10,11 "For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." The Critical text, on which most "Modern" translations are based, is a distinct textual family from the Textus Receptus, "Received Text", on which the KJV and NKJV are based. Below are 2 places to help answer your question. http://www.cob-net.org/compare.htm http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/kjvdefen.htm Colin |

93 | Are Christian apologetics unbiblical? | 1 Pet 3:15 | flinkywood | 57755 | ||
Kalos, I joined this forum about a year ago. It's a mixed bag, definitely, with a lot of thick-headed, spiritless arguers. I answered a question here recently for someone of this type. A waste of time. Good thing is, you leave a body of correspondence behind for the sincere to browse. I like Makarios' posts, for ex., or Hank's, or yours, for that matter. Colin. | ||||||
94 | So when does justification come? | Gen 12:1 | flinkywood | 57537 | ||
Rom 10:8,9,10 "But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Go out and spread the good news. Colin |

95 | So is the book of Romans 4 a contraditio | Gen 12:1 | flinkywood | 57501 | ||
Faith is an act, a work. In German, for ex., Ich Glaube, "I believe", literally means "I faith". First, we are saved by faith... Eph 2:8,9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Then we're perfected by works: James 2:22 "Seest thou how by faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?" Abraham trusted God to the extent that he was ready to sacrifice Isaac, ready to demonstrate his faith through an act that was pure Abraham and totally in his character: Mat 7:20 "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Sin, like faith, is also an act; and like faith, it's an act of the heart: Mat 5:28 "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Rahab just acted on what was already in her heart. First it's faith, then works. He's after our character: Rom 5:3,4 :...but we glory also in afflictions, knowing that affliction works out patience, and patience works out proven character; and proven character, hope." So these are complementary, not contradictory. Works are obedient faith. Colin. |

96 | Who are the "sons of God?" | OT general | flinkywood | 44708 | ||
The Sons of God are angels. These angels took "daughters of men" for themselves as they wished, without permission. Their offspring were the Nephilim, defined in Harpers Bible Dictionary as "The giant demigods borne by daughters of men to the "sons of God:" "These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown." Renown isn't a compliment here; These angels had done evil in the sight of God, and their offspring were an abomination to God. Thus the abundant water to follow. | ||||||
