81 | JOB 1 and todays teens | Job 1:1 | terrib | 149472 | ||
Welcome to the forum Mysteroius, Perhaps you could clarify your question a little. Are you talking about being upright and fearing God (Job 1:1) or enjoying themselves and having the house fall in on them (Job 1:17-18)? It's hard by the general terms of your question to give an applicable answer. Even though the fortunes of Job were to show the Power, Majesty and Gace of our Lord. After all the calamity, Job blessed God and God blessed him more.(Job 42:12) More yet, I would apply Job to parents, to teach their children that out of all things that happen in ones life there is a reason. Even if we can't see it. So, Pro 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go..." Pro 8:11 "For wisdom is better than rubies..." terrib |

82 | Did Jesus Fulfill Feast/Tabernacles? how | John 7:2 | terrib | 149461 | ||
Welcome Jordan33, The Scriptures do not tell us just exactly when Jesus arrived at the feast. The festival was at hand. He sent His brothers to keep the ordinance. But He didn't go with His brothers because they didn't believe Him (John 7:5) and they would have made a spectical of Him (John 7:4)"...shew thyself to the world." But, after His brothers left, He went also.(Joh 7:9-10 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.) Note: "he went also". Jesus's time was not yet full, He had yet more work to do before He was to be delivered to Jerusalem. Some have stated that His brothers went up early to be cleansed from touching something unclean which would have taken seven days, therefore the delay in Jesus' going for He was not unclean. Then, we see Him at about the middle of the festival teaching in the Temple (John 7:14). Then we see Him in the last day of the festival (John 7:37) preaching to the people. This should show us that He did fulfill the seven days per the ordinance. (Deu 16:13-15) terrib |

83 | what is the diffrence on act and chapter | Acts 19:1 | terrib | 149374 | ||
Part 1 Greetings Ivette, Your question is a little hard to discern exactly what you are looking for, but if you are having difficulty in this chapter the translation below is from the International Standard Version. It may be easier to read than other translations. I have put some help words in (parenthesis). This is Paul's second visit to Ephesus, first visit was Acts 18:19. He returns to Antioch (18:22) visits Galatia and Phrygia (18:23) then the following visit to Ephesus and it continues through Acts 20:1. Act 19:1 It was while Apollos was in Corinth that Paul passed through the inland districts and came to Ephesus. He found a few disciples there Act 19:2 and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They answered him, "No, we haven't even heard that there is a Holy Spirit." Act 19:3 He then asked, "Then into what were you baptized?" They answered, "Into John's baptism." (John the Baptist) Act 19:4 Then Paul said, "John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus." Act 19:5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Act 19:6 When Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began to speak in tongues and to prophesy. Act 19:7 There were about twelve men in all. Act 19:8 He went into the synagogue and spoke there boldly for three months, holding discussions and persuading them about the kingdom of God. Act 19:9 But when some people became stubborn, refused to believe, and slandered the Way (the Gospel) before the people, he left them, took his disciples away from them, and had daily discussions in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. Act 19:10 This went on for two years, so that all who lived in Asia, Jews and Greeks alike, heard the word of the Lord. Act 19:11 God continued to do extraordinary miracles by Paul's hands. Act 19:12 When the handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched his skin were taken to the sick, their diseases left them, and the evil spirits went out of them. Act 19:13 Then some Jews who went around trying to drive out demons attempted to use the name of the Lord Jesus on those who had evil spirits, saying, "I command you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches!" Act 19:14 Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. Act 19:15 But the evil spirit said to them, "I know Jesus, and I am acquainted with Paul, but who are you?" (the spirit knew they were false teachers) Act 19:16 Then the man with the evil spirit jumped on them, got the better of them, and so violently overpowered all of them that they fled out of the house naked and bruised. Act 19:17 When this became known to everyone living in Ephesus, Jews and Greeks alike, fear came on all of them, and the name of the Lord Jesus began to be held in high honor. Act 19:18 Many who became believers kept coming and confessing and telling about their practices. Act 19:19 Moreover, many people who had practiced occult arts (witchcraft, divination, sorcery) gathered their books and burned them in front of everybody. They estimated the price of them and found they were worth 50,000 silver coins. Act 19:20 In that way the word of the Lord kept spreading and triumphing. Act 19:21 After these things had happened, Paul resolved in the Spirit to go through Macedonia and Achaia and then to go on to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have gone there, I must also see Rome." Act 19:22 So he sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, while he himself stayed in Asia a while longer.(still in Ephesus) |

Part 2 Act 19:23 Now just about that time a great commotion broke out concerning the Way (the Gospel). Act 19:24 A silversmith named Demetrius provided a large income for the skilled workers by making silver shrines of Artemis.(goddess Diana) Act 19:25 He called a meeting of these men and others who were engaged in similar trades and said, "Men, you well know that we get a good income from this business. Act 19:26 You also see and hear that, not only in Ephesus, but almost all over Asia, this man Paul has won over and taken away a large crowd by telling them that gods made by human hands are not gods at all. Act 19:27 There is a danger not only that our business will lose its reputation but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis (Diana) will be brought into contempt and that she will be robbed of her majesty that brought all Asia and the world to worship her." Act 19:28 When they heard this, they became furious and began to shout, "Great is Artemis (Diana) of the Ephesians!" Act 19:29 The city was filled with confusion, and the people rushed into the theater together, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul's fellow travelers from Macedonia. Act 19:30 Paul wanted to go into the crowd, but the disciples wouldn't let him. Act 19:31 Even some officials of the province of Asia who were his friends sent him a message urging him not to risk his life in the theater. Act 19:32 Meanwhile, some were shouting one thing, some another. For the assembly was confused, and most of them didn't know why they were meeting. Act 19:33 Some of the crowd concluded it was because of Alexander, since the Jews had pushed him to the front. So Alexander motioned for silence and tried to make a defense before the people. Act 19:34 But when they found out that he was a Jew, they all started to shout in unison for about two hours, "Great is Artemis (Diana) of the Ephesians!" Act 19:35 When the city recorder had quieted the crowd, he said, "Men of Ephesus, who in the world doesn't know that this city of Ephesus is the keeper of the temple of the great Artemis (Diana) and of the statue that fell down from heaven? Act 19:36 Since these things cannot be denied, you must be quiet and not do anything reckless. Act 19:37 For you have brought these men here, although they neither rob temples nor blaspheme our goddess. Act 19:38 So if Demetrius and his workers have a charge against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls (lawyers). They should accuse one another there. Act 19:39 But if you want anything else, it must be settled in the regular assembly. Act 19:40 For we are in danger of being charged with rioting today, and there is no good reason we can give to justify this commotion." (rioting was a capitol offense punished by death) Act 19:41 After saying this, he dismissed the assembly. Act 20:1 When the uproar was over, Paul sent for the disciples and encouraged them. Then he said goodbye to them and left to go to Macedonia. If this helps let us know, if it doesn't help, let us know that also. terrib |

86 | Good from evil? | Bible general Archive 2 | terrib | 149337 | ||
Hi WOS, A little more... In the beginning, God. Col 1:16 For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: Col 1:17 And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. God created ALL things, even the angels. Jud 1:6 "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation..." And God saw every thing that He had made, and behold, it was very good. Gen 1. Gen 3:22 "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil..." To have the knowledge of good and evil may not be the same as being good or being evil. Or is it? Jesus says we are evil, Mat 7:11 "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" Then can we say that evil came from God? God forbid! It is the creature that left their first estate. Gen 3:10 "...I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself." Good by definition: GOOD, a. 1. Valid; legally firm; not weak or defective; having strength adequate to its support; as a good title; a good deed; a good claim. 2. Valid; sound; not weak, false or fallacious; as a good argument. 3. Complete or sufficiently perfect in its kind; having the physical qualities best adapted to its design and use; opposed to bad, imperfect, corrupted, impaired. We say, good timber, good cloth, a good soil, a good color. Evil by definition: E'VIL, a. e'vl. [Heb. to be unjust or injurious, to defraud.] 1. Having bad qualities of a natural kind; mischievous; having qualities which tend to injury, or to produce mischief. - Some evil beast hath devoured him. Gen 37. 2. Having bad qualities of a moral kind; wicked; corrupt; perverse; wrong; as evil thoughts; evil deeds; evil speaking; an evil generation. 3. Unfortunate; unhappy; producing sorrow, distress, injury or calamity; as evil tidings; evil arrows; evil days. If the salt has lost its flavor; it cannot be converted back again. Unless by Divine intervention. Absolutes: Positive - Negative White - Black Full - Empty Light - Dark Good - Evil Righteousness - Sin Forgiven - Unforgiven Therefore: Divine intervention - Jesus, death, blood, burial, resurrection - salvation! The salt has been converted. The good has come from evil. In thy (sinful man) seed, I will bless the nations (with a sinless man). Gen 22:18 Gal 3:16 "Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ." But under its own power, a negative absolute cannot become a positive absolute. Not by works, lest we boast. terrib |

Dear Figoyuen, This is the second time you brought this question before the forum. This must be of great concern to you. Maybe you could tell us why you think your prayers are dull. In your previous question 2 years ago,(question ID number 85736) you were comparing your prayer to others. Are you now talking about private devotional prayer or public prayer as in giving thanks to the Lord? I think we might need a little more information. You have not responded to any of the forum's responses and it would be invaluable for us to hear if you have learned anything from these? Our concern is still for you and for your edification! Your brother, terrib |

88 | who was matthew | Matt 10:3 | terrib | 149306 | ||
Welcome Jefferyjesus, From the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia: Matthew the apostle and evangelist is mentioned in the 4 catalogues of the apostles in Mat 10:3; Mar 3:18; Luk 6:15; Act 1:13, though his place is not constant in this list, varying between the 7th and the 8th places and thus exchanging positions with Thomas. The name occurring in the two forms… is a Greek reproduction of the Aramaic “gift of Yahweh,” and equivalent to Theodore. Before his call to the apostolic office, according to Mat 9:9, his name was Levi. The identity of Matthew and Levi is practically beyond all doubt, as is evident from the predicate in Mat 10:3; and from a comparison of Mar 2:14; Luk 5:27 with Mat 9:9. Mark calls him “the son of Alpheus” (Mar 2:14), although this cannot have been the Alpheus who was the father of James the Less; for if this James and Matthew had been brothers this fact would doubtless have been mentioned, as is the case with Peter and Andrew, and also with the sons of Zebedee. Whether Jesus, as He did in the case of several others of His disciples, gave him the additional name of Matthew is a matter of which we are not informed. As he was a customs officer (Mat 10:3) in Capernaum, in the territory of Herod Antipas, Matthew was not exactly a Roman official, but was in the service of the tetrarch of Galilee, or possibly a subordinate officer, belonging to the class called portitores, serving under the publicani, or superior officials who farmed the Roman taxes. As such he must have had some education, and doubtless in addition to the native Aramaic must have been acquainted with the Greek. His ready acceptance of the call of Jesus shows that he must have belonged to that group of publicans and sinners, who in Galilee and elsewhere looked longingly to Jesus (Mat 11:19; Luk 7:34; Luk 15:1). Just at what period of Christ's ministry he was called does not appear with certainty, but evidently not at once, as on the day when he was called (Mat 9:11, Mat 9:14, Mat 9:18; Mar 5:37), Peter, James and John are already trustworthy disciples of Jesus. Unlike the first six among the apostles, Matthew did not enter the group from among the pupils of John the Baptist. These are practically all the data furnished by the New Testament on the person of Matthew, and what is found in post-Biblical and extra-Biblical sources is chiefly the product of imagination and in part based on mistaking the name of Matthew for Matthias (compare Zahn, Introduction to the New Testament, chapter liv, note 3). Tradition states that he preached for 15 years in Palestine and that after this he went to foreign nations, the Ethiopians, Macedonians, Syrians, Persians, Parthians and Medea being mentioned. He is said to have died a natural death either in Ethiopia or in Macedonia. The stories of the Roman Catholic church that he died the death of a martyr on September 21 and of the Greek church that this occurred on November 10 are without any historical basis. Clement of Alexandria (Strom., iv. 9) gives the explicit denial of Heracleon that Matthew suffered martyrdom. From Fox’s Book of Martyrs: Matthew Whose occupation was that of a toll-gatherer, was born at Nazareth. He wrote his gospel in Hebrew, which was afterwards translated into Greek by James the Less. The scene of his labors was Parthia, and Ethiopia, in which latter country he suffered martyrdom, being slain with a halberd(*) in the city of Nadabah, A.D. 60. * halberd A military weapon, consisting of a pole or shaft of wood, with a head armed with a steel point, with a cross piece of steel, flat and pointed at both ends, or with a cutting edge at one end, and a bent point at the other. It is carried by sergeants of foot and dragoons. Hope this helps, terrib |

90 | Is their only one Mount of Olives? | Luke 21:37 | terrib | 149225 | ||
Greeting Loran James, Mount of Olives: So called from the olive trees with which its sides are clothed, is a mountain ridge on the east of Jerusalem (1Ki 11:7; Eze 11:23; Zec 14:4), from which it is separated by the valley of Kidron. It is first mentioned in connection with David's flight from Jerusalem through the rebellion of Absalom (2Sa 15:30), and is only once again mentioned in the Old Testament, in Zec 14:4. It is, however, frequently alluded to (1Ki 11:7; 2Ki 23:13; Neh 8:15; Eze 11:23). It is frequently mentioned in the New Testament (Mat 21:1; Mat 26:30, etc.). It now bears the name of Jebel et-Tur, i.e., “Mount of the Summit;” also sometimes called Jebel ez-Zeitun, i.e., “Mount of Olives.” It is about 200 feet above the level of the city. The road from Jerusalem to Bethany runs as of old over this mount. It was on this mount that Jesus stood when he wept over Jerusalem. “No name in Scripture,” says Dr. Porter, “calls up associations at once so sacred and so pleasing as that of Olivet. The 'mount' is so intimately connected with the private, the devotional life of the Saviour, that we read of it and look at it with feelings of deepest interest and affection. Here he often sat with his disciples, telling them of wondrous events yet to come, of the destruction of the Holy City; of the sufferings, the persecution, and the final triumph of his followers (Matt. 24). Here he gave them the beautiful parables of the ten virgins and the five talents (Matt. 25); here he was wont to retire on each evening for meditation, and prayer, and rest of body, when weary and harassed by the labours and trials of the day (Luk 21:37); and here he came on the night of his betrayal to utter that wonderful prayer, 'O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt' (Mat 26:39). And when the cup of God's wrath had been drunk, and death and the grave conquered, he led his disciples out again over Olivet as far as to Bethany, and after a parting blessing ascended to heaven (Luk 24:50, Luk 24:51; Act 1:12).” This mount, or rather mountain range, has four summits or peaks: (1.) the “Galilee” peak, so called from a tradition that the angels stood here when they spoke to the disciples (Act 1:11); (2.) the “Mount of Ascension,” the supposed site of that event, which was, however, somewhere probably nearer Bethany (Luk 24:51, Luk 24:52); (3.) the “Prophets,” from the catacombs on its side, called “the prophets' tombs;” and (4.) the “Mount of Corruption,” so called because of the “high places” erected there by Solomon for the idolatrous worship of his foreign wives (1Ki 11:7; 2Ki 23:13; Vulg., “Mount of Offense”). From "Easton's Bible Dictionary" Names for: Josephus frequently uses the expression “Mount of Olives” (e.g. Ant., VII, ix, 2; XX, viii, 6; BJ, V, ii, 3; xii, 2), but later Jewish writings give the name, “Mount of Oil”; this occurs in some manuscripts in 2Ki 23:13, and the common reading, “Mount of Corruption,” margin “destruction,” may possibly be a deliberate alteration (see below). In later ages the Mount was termed “the mountain of lights,” because here there used to be kindled at one time the first beacon light to announce throughout Jewry the appearance of the new moon. To the natives of Palestine today it is usually known as **[Jebel et Tur] (“mountain of the elevation,” or “tower”), or, less commonly, as **[Jebel Tur ez zait] (“mountain of the elevation of oil”). The name **[Jebel ez-zaitun] (“Mount of Olives”) is also well known. Early Arabic writers use the term **[Tur Zait], “Mount of Oil.” Olivet comes to us through the Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) Oliverum, “an oliveyard.” From "International Standard Bible Encyclopedia" ** Items in brackets [] are shown characteristically as close as possible given the font structure this forum allows, for some of the characters are of greek origin. Your question:"In other words, could the term "Mount of Olives" refer to more than one physical location?" If we are talking in the vicinty of Jerusalem, no. Hope this helps, terrib |

Hi Monica1, Galatians 1 - In this chapter, after the preface or introduction (Gal 1:1-5), the apostle severely reproves these churches for their defection from the faith (Gal 1:6-9), and then proves his own apostleship, which his enemies had brought them to question, I. From his end and design in preaching the gospel (Gal 1:10). II. From his having received it by immediate revelation (Gal 1:11, Gal 1:12). For the proof of which he acquaints them, 1. What his former conversation was (Gal 1:13, Gal 1:14). 2. How he was converted, and called to the apostleship (Gal 1:15, Gal 1:16). 3. How he behaved himself afterwards (Gal 1:16 to the end).

92 | Who has been silenced? | Rev 8:1 | terrib | 149197 | ||
Hi mommapbs, I see a great reverence in worshipping in silence. As with a lost loved one, what words could be uttered to comfort. The Almighty, the Creator of all things must now, with a great grief, carry out His final decree. How He loves His creation and as He has shown us how He cried over Jerusalem and here I see all the heavenly host being aware of the immense pain that must be present, for now we are talking about the entire world. Just as the friends of Job came and were silent for seven days at his lose, how much more would be the grief of the Lord God at His lose. When I read this I get an intense mental impression of the heaviness and heartache of such a loving and Majestic Father that has poured out His all to so many but now has to do these things. How can we describe it; maybe that is why the Scriptures are also silent. terrib |

Kissing the Scroll: Anyone who has the opportunity to attend a synagogue service on a Saturday morning must be impressed by the centrality of God's Word and the way in which it is reverenced in the worship. At the front of the synagogue is the Ark, an ornate cupboard-like structure, which is the focal point of the synagogue. At the beginning of the service the people stand and sing praise to God for this great gift of the Torah as, with great reverence, the sacred scrolls are removed from the Ark and carried around the synagogue on the shoulders of the rabbi and his helpers. Some of the men will reach out to touch the scroll as it passes them, ¨ˆ kissing the fringe ¨ˆ as a demonstration of their reverence for the Word of God. Finally, the scroll is brought to the reading desk, the covers are ceremonially removed and the scroll is lifted high in one final expression of praise to God. As the scrolls are lifted the prayer of elevation is recited: "And this is the Law which Moses set before the children of Israel according to the commandments of the Lord by the hand of Moses . . ." confessing the traditional view that this scroll is the very Word of God. And so begins the reading of the Law. ¨ˆplaceholders are mine to show as highlight¨ˆ http://www.cwi.org.uk/Jewishpeople/Tanakh.htm Also view: Kissing the fringe: "Being Called To The Torah" Where they touch the open Torah with the tzitzit(the fringes at the corners of the Tallit) then kissing the fringe. http://www.betham.org/download/Torah Blessings.pdf Hope this helps, terrib |

Greetings and Welcome Winniejesusfreak, Mary Magdalene and Lazarus' sister are not the same Mary. For they are from different towns. One from Magdala and the other from Bethany. Luk 8:2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, (Mary of Magdala) Not the sinful woman in Luk 7:37, as some have thought, whose name is not mentioned. And not the woman that the Pharisees brought to Jesus that was caught in adultery in John 8:3 as in the movie "The Greatest Story Ever Told", that's Hollywood, not Bible. Joh 11:1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. Joh 11:2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

97 | can we be sure the Bible is valid? | 2 Tim 3:16 | terrib | 148845 | ||
Greetings Joe and welcome, It is not that the church has decided to use the Scriptures, rather it is the Scriptures or Word that started the church. As a man these thoughts have come to me also. Then I relax and just think about all the things I see and I listen. Listen, if you can quiet yourself and get to that place inside you, you will hear the Holy Spirit explain to you. Not in the sense of mysticism but meditation. As David says, I will meditate on thy word. (Psa 1:2 KJV) But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. (Psa 63:6 KJV) When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. (Psa 77:12 KJV) I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. (Psa 119:15 KJV) I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. (Psa 119:23 KJV) Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. (Psa 119:48 KJV) My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. (Psa 119:78 KJV) Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. (Psa 119:148 KJV) Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word. (Psa 143:5 KJV) I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. Words are power, speak out loud to yourself, for what comes from the mouth of a man so is he. Praises are power, for the Lord delights in the praises of His people. Doubt is an old trick. And you know the enemy is lurking about; walking up and down the Earth seeking whom he may devour. You, being a Christian know these things! Logically, if the Scriptures were not true, you wouldn't have these thoughts nor would you care. If the above isn't enough, we can look at history and archeology. All our 33,000 plus laws we have on the books come from the Ten Commandments. Farmers in Kansas, while plowing, have found shark jaws in their fields, evidence of the flood. All the wisdom of man and the scientific community have never proven it wrong. The Scriptures are true, it is the doctrines of men you will have to be aware of. terrib |

98 | The gift of God | Mark 1:10 | terrib | 148825 | ||
Ray, I see the gift as being Jesus Himself and the salvation He offered the women through Him. But many was of the thought, of that time, they should expect a regal and royal entrance of the Messiah, for she did know that the Messiah was to come, but not one of a lowly stature. But Jesus opened her eyes and she called the neighbors to come to Him and many believed. terrib |

99 | Filled with the holy spirit? | Mark 1:10 | terrib | 148804 | ||
The Father is the giver and the Holy Spirit is the gift. Joh 14:16(NASB) "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; Joh 14:17(NASB) that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you. Ray, I read your April update and am praying for you. Job 2:10 "...In all this Job did not sin with his lips." Your brother, terrib |

100 | 100million man army against Isreal | Rev 9:16 | terrib | 148803 | ||
Regguh, You might be looking for this Scripture. Rev 9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. As far as them being an army against Israel it does not say. The context does reference a third of men. I don't find any reference to this in the Old Testament. terrib |
