Matthew Henry Commentary, sorry, I should of spelled it out. Brad |

82 | Noah | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 220569 | ||
Quick definition, a commentary is a person (or could be down by a group of people) opinion about a subject. There are numerous commentaries on the market, some good, some not so good. You have large multi-volume sets and shorter one book commentaries. Matthew Henry Commentary was written in early 1700s (I believe 1706). It is freely available online to read and review and that is why I selected it. A commentary, cannot be used to replace the Word of God, but it can help at times to bring some understanding. The Bible is the ultimate authority, the commentary is a personal opinion of the Bible. I'm trying to keep this post short, but having little luck with that. Basically, a well written commentary is a good resource to help further you Bile study, but cannot be used to replace the Bible. I have several commentaries and will refer to them once I have drawn my opinion on a passage to see how it lines up with the Bible scholars. Hope I was able to explain it well enough. Brad |

83 | Noah | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 220570 | ||
My opinion on the passage is that Ham did something wrong. We are suppose to honor our parents (Exodus 20:12 and Deuteronomy 5:16). In the NT we can see that the Jesus even mentioned honoring your parents and how the leaders of the time had corrupted this commandment (Matthew 15:3-9). Ham appears to be dishonoring his father by his behavior when he found his father drunk. In my opinion the reason he was cursed was because of his failure to honor his father. Brad |

Well, it isn't missing in every version of the Bible. Some versions include the whole passage, others include the passage, but note that it may not belong there, other versions include it in the footnotes, and yes, some versions leave it out. What you are noticing is the difference in translation philosophy and which documents they are using to translate the Bible from. The simple answer, there is evidence to raise doubt that these verses may not belong. How the Bible translator deals with this issue determines how the passage appears in their translation. The actual translation history of the Bible is a very fascinating topic to me. It is also a very in depth topic and something that doesn't lend itself to be easily explained in a short post. Brad |

If you come looking for a fight for KJV Only, you have came to the wrong place. If you have come to discuss the difference in translations, you will find several post on this matter. KJV is a respected version, but even the KJV has gone through revisions. Most modern translations will tell you in the preface what documents they are translated from and many versions will also make a footnote when the is sufficient evidence that the passage could be different. Before saying one version of the Bible is the best, I would suggest picking up several books on Bible history, translation philosophy, and Biblical manuscripts. It is easy to sit around a parrot what one has read on other websites, but I challenge you to truly research the topic. It is fascinating to see how the Lord has preserved His Word throughout the years. I leave you with the final thought, how do you know your version of the Bible is right? I thank God for the many Godly men and women that he has used through the years to preserve His Word and hopefully through your own research you will be able to find this topic as interesting as I have.

89 | omitted scripture ..BRAD K | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 220871 | ||
My mistake and accept my apology (unfortunately I've been off work today fighting a nasty little cold bug and have lots of cold medicine in me). The short answer is the manuscripts that KJV relied on verses what other translations use (example the Dead Sea Scrolls where not available to the KJV translators). Just because the statement appears to be a good statement, doesn't mean it was in the original text. How do we know what was in the original text? By comparing various manuscripts, codex, and fragments. Without this turning into a way longer post than I feel up to right now, some scriptures that come to mind is the ending of Mark, the story of the woman caught in adultery, and the ending of the Lord's prayer. Many of the modern translations (NASB, ESV, NIV, NLT, NKJV) make notes of scripture that may or may not belong there. Hope this help. Brad (Example of a tranlating problem, if I say "boy thats cool", what do I mean? Do I mean it is phyiscally cool or is it something I find fascinating? (I know a very simple example just trying to give you something to think on.)) |

90 | why 6 hurs on the cross | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 221076 | ||
Because he didn't want to hang for seven? I can't think of any scriptures that designate the six hours on the cross as anything significant beyond the obvious fact of what was accomplished by Christ through this act. Brad |

91 | Who were the 1st Jews (Judah's tribe ?) | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 221078 | ||
The actual term “Jew” was first used to describe the tribe of Judah in 2 kings 25:25, which is after the tribes had split. Yet, defining “Jew” also can mean “one whose religion is Judaism” (Webster). Judaism means “a religion developed among the ancient Hebrews and characterized by belief in one transcendent God who has revealed himself to Abraham, Moses, and the Hebrew prophets and by a religious life in accordance with Scriptures and rabbinic traditions” (Webster). So, by this definition, the Levites could be considered Jews. Brad |

I've pretty much quit worrying about what others call me (as long as they don't call me late for supper) and worry about what the Lord thinks and I think the title that would fit you Doc, is a free child of God who is an heir by His grace. Gal 3:22 But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. Gal 3:23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. Gal 3:24 So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. Gal 3:25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, Gal 3:26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. Gal 3:27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise. (ESV) Brad |

I guess it depends on how you define "supercool", but I can think of several, Moses, Noah, Abraham, David, Elijah, Elisha, Mary, and Paul just to name a few. Brad |

94 | ? for Bible historians on translations | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 221541 | ||
If your character is devout Roman Catholic, she was most likely exposed to the Bible in Latin. If my memory serves my correctly, the Latin Vulgate was the only approved Bible at that time for Catholics (which most common people did not have a copy of). The Douay-Rheims Bible (which I believe came out in the 1600's) would have come into play at sometime during this period, but I don't know how quickly it circulated (plus quick today and quick back then is vastly different). One place you might seek answers is the Catholic Church. Send them an e-mail. I have asked questions before and the response has been friendly and informative. Brad |

95 | how did god spank children | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 221807 | ||
Right off the top of my head, I don't know of any phrase where God physically spanked a child in the manner that we would today. In the same token, if your are referring to the general principal of discipline, there are several examples, starting with Adam and Eve in the garden. Brad |

96 | At what age women took vows not to marry | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 221843 | ||
I don't believe that it is stated in the Bible (is there a verse you are thinking of?). This topic is more of a cultural topic which would require understanding the culture of the time. Based on my very limited knowledge of middle Eastern culture, I believe it was the parents who would make this decision and not the girl/young lady. Brad |

97 | prayer | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 221951 | ||
The practice for praying for the dead is based on the Catholic doctrine of purgatory. A quote from the Catholic encyclopedia: "We have said that there is no clear and explicit Scriptural text in favour of prayers for the dead, except the above text of II Machabees." Link to the full article: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04653a.htm So as others have stated, there is not Scriptural evidence that we should pray for the dead. Brad |

It depends on which date you are using for the Exodus. There is about a 200 year difference between the two common Exodus dates which places them entering the Promise Land sometime in the 1,400 BC or sometime in 1,200 BC depending on the timeline you are using which depending on the timeline determines how many years between the death and the birth.
