9941 | clear conscience | 1 Tim 3:2 | Searcher56 | 7194 | ||
... continuing (my post was truncated) so with the other requirements I can talk with them. Also, look at 2Co. 1:12; 2Ti. 1:3; Heb. 9:14, 10:22, 13:18 and 1Pe. 3:16, 21 on the conscience. There may be other verses. |

9942 | clear conscience | 1 Tim 3:2 | Searcher56 | 7193 | ||
First CAPITAL letters are hard to read and used for emphasis. I think you mean 1 Tim 1:5. As ALWAYS, look at the context. The first is the paragraph (vv. 3-11), which talks about false teachers. In verse 5, it starts with "the goal of this command" ... referring back to verse 3, where Timothy is ot give a command to certain men, tose preaching a false Gospel. Giving the command, needs to be done in love (speak the truth in love (Eph 4:15)), pure heart (2 Tim. 2:22), good (clear) conscience (vs. 19, 3:9) and sincere faith (2 Tim 1:5). In order to reprove these people, Timothy needed all these things. I used the other parts of the context, by looking at the book of 1 Timothy and the rest of the Bible. Having a good or clear conscience does not mean I am innocent (1 Cor. 4:4). I know the truth and speak it, even if I am not a minister. The only way to keep a good or clear conscience is to study the Bible. When I see someone not telling the truth, my mind is clear - so with the other re |

9943 | Is 'match making' Biblical? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 7144 | ||
In Genesis 24:1-4 Abraham sent his servant to look for a wife for his son, Isaac. In 28:1-5, Isaac sent his son away to look for a wife. Judges 14:1-3 has Samson asking his parents go get him the wife of his own choosing. It is still part of some cultures to arrange marriages, usually by both sets of parents. Genesis 34:8ff is one case. Parents know their children ... the parents of the prospect, the prospect or the culture. I think your friend knows you and this woman. While I cannot recall friends arranging a couple, it is okay. If you saw Fiddler on the Roof - there was a professional matchmaker. It is important that your ministries can coincide. I know couples who are on the mission field or did not go ... and the wife is unfilled. If called to the mission field, it needs to be in the same place. I bring this up because who said that you two are on different paths. Ask her the path God has for her. It may be you or her have the "gift" of being single. I did not marry until I was 3 |

9944 | Prophecy of city of Tyre fulfilled? | Ps 87:4 | Searcher56 | 7141 | ||
Nolan ... I think it is a stretch to say so. Tyre was leveled by Alexander. I do not see the church in Psalm 87. But, you could be right. I have areas that I see that I have not seen anyone else may that observation. Searching Scripture Steve |

RC ... while the is no distinction in salvation - man/woman Jew/Greek free/slave ... there is one between what a man does in chrurch and a woman. As I think as pointed out, the older women were to teach the yonger ... plus they were deaconesses, according to some people. |

9947 | Sketch/profile on Joseph (Jacob's son)? | Genesis | Searcher56 | 7120 | ||
Nolan ... There is much in the Bible. He is born (Gen 30:22-24) and was the gave Jacob the reason to go home (vs. 25). The starting in chapter 37, he is the prominent character for the rest of the book, exoect for chapter 38. There are some extra-Biblical information that I will send you. I'm still looking for confirmation that because of him, Egypt was wealthy until the last phraroh gave it away. Her name was Cleopatra. |

9948 | Command the blessing? | Prov 10:22 | Searcher56 | 7119 | ||
Charis ... "Command the blessing" and "get the blessing" sounds like "health and wealth" but, I think not not found in the Bible. I do not think we can ask, much less command a blessing. God does not "owe" us anything. He already promised us many things, including suffering and eternal life - we we believe in Him. The blessings promised in Mat. 5:3-12 are a promise - it means that we will be happy. I do not think any of the words we see as blessing means material goods. Steve |

9949 | Devoured by the devil? | 1 Pet 5:8 | Searcher56 | 7051 | ||
Charis ... When we are not self-controlled and alert. That is we lose our focus on the Shepherd and His plan for us. Verse 9 says we need to resist him (and if we submit ourselves to God, the devil will flee (Jas 4:7). We can be devoured by the devil, when we are - loyal to a man (1 Cor. 1:10-17). This is includes a church or demonination. - prideful (Gal. 5:25-26). - debating minor issues (2 Tim. 2:14-16,23-24). Like did Adam have a belly button. Plus, issues that can divide, like what songs to sing and when Christ will return in relation to the tribulation. - living unworthy lives (Eph 4:1ff). Some are: a. Lying (4:25). b. Anger (4:26). c. Unwholesome speech (4:29). d. Lack of kindness/forgiveness (4:32). e. Sexual immorality (5:3). f. Drunkenness (5:18). g. Lousy marriages (5:22-33). h. Disobedience to parents (6:1-3). i. Overbearing parents (6:4). j. Disobedience to bosses (6:5-8). k. Threatening employees (6:9) We need to know the truth, so that we are not tossed around (Eph 4:16). These are some ways the devil can devour us. Steve |

9950 | Whatever we want? | 1 John 5:15 | Searcher56 | 7048 | ||
Charis ... we first need to back up to verse 13, which limits this to those who believe, do have eternal life. Even if you start in verse 14, which says we need to ask according to His will, He hears us. So when our asking (vs 15) is according to His will (vs 14), we know He hears us (vv 14-15) and we will be granted our request (vs 15). Many use this verse for the "prosperity Gospel" ... but, we do need to have our wills and wishes match His. Contentment plus Godliness equals Great Gain Steve |

I read the Bible literally. - Paul was not the leader of a single church, so this does not apply to him. He wrote Phillipinas while in prison. Someone else was in chargge. - Jesus is married to the church If you use the OT for examples ... what day do you gather together with belivers ... do you tithe as the Teknah dictates (3 of them). BTW, it dose not say if Ezra or Nehemiah were not married. This is a minor point - I will carry one no more. |

This is a minor point so I will continue no more. I do not need a "single credible Bible scholar" to have my same view ... (s)he could be married with children :-). I take the Bible literally and the passages you presented support my idea. Some say one is a one-woman man, even if she dies, but, not according to these verses. Children? Very interesting. Steve |

9953 | 'Born again' a moment in time? | 1 Pet 1:3 | Searcher56 | 6945 | ||
Charis ... Just as our phyiscal birth was a moment in time, so is our spiritual birth. And that is what I think the Greek verb means. Saying the prayer doesn't save ... it is a change of heart, tho the mouth solidifies it. Our 'born again experience' begins with conception - when we hear the gospel ... we begin our life when we accept Him ... I do not think it will ever end, tho when we meet Him in the air and the marriage supper will be very special. Some will be with Him if they die before He returns. In Acts we see that being 'filled with the Spirit' occurs at different points (2:4, 4:8, 31, 9:17, 10:44). It can happen more than once (13:9, 52). We do need to be filled with Him (Eph. 5:18). We are pure, cleansed from sin, when we recieve Him ... and every time we confess our sins. Yes, we will sin - it is a struggle. Steve |

Hank, Titus 1:6 also supports my belief that a leader should be married, to one woman. Paul was never the permanent church leader, he moved on. So I do not think he fell under the title of being a leader. Also, by the text, I think a widower could be DQed from being a leader ... but I am not going to demand my way. I would be more vocal if the wife (who is a Christian) ran away with the postman and a divorce results. She would have to say she wasn't a Christian for him to be able to serve. Steve |

9955 | The hard heart is not the adulterer. | 1 Tim 3:2 | Searcher56 | 6929 | ||
The writer has the hard heart in the wrong person. It is the hardness of the heart of the innocent spouse. Hosea did not divorce Gomer, tho she committed hard-hearted adultery. God has not divorced Israle, not Christ the church - tho we both commit hard-hearted adultery. |

9956 | What does 1 Tim 3:2 mean? | 1 Tim 3:2 | Searcher56 | 6925 | ||
Phillip ... While we now are off the path, Matt 5:32 ... Unchastity was limited in its application to the husband’s discovery after the wedding that his wife had not come to the marriage a virgin. Matt 19:9 ... Back up a verse - It was the hardness of their hard, but it was not always that way. So, a man can divorce his wife, if she was not a virgin before they got married, and some say after ... but, it is because of a hard heart God allows it. Therefore, I do not think it is a good reason. It is the relationship between God and Israel, as well as Christ and the church. Hosea (and Gomer) shows that God is forgiving |

9957 | define and describe apostasy. | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 6885 | ||
We get our word apostasy from the Greek word apostasia (a falling away, defection) the feminine form of the Greek word which means divorce. The passages in Acts and 2 The. were already cited. M@shuwbah (turning away, turning back, backsliding, faithless) is the Hebrew word. Jeremiah 3 uses the later five times (vv 6, 8, 11, 12, 22), in the NAS. He uses apostasy four other times (2:19, 5:6, 8:5; 14:7). Proverbs 1:32 calls it waywardness. Hosea 11:7 says turning from and 14:4 says that he will heal their apostasy. |

9958 | Priority in the home. | 1 Thess 4:11 | Searcher56 | 6884 | ||
1 Cor. 7:32-35 could be a passage, even look at the whole chapter. I see this as saying there is a divided interest between your mate and ministry. Luke 14:26 tells us we need to hate our family, relative to our love for God, our Master. The first commandment is love Him with your heart, soul, mand and strength (Mark 12:29). We will live with our one Master forever, our one mate for a lifetime and we may have serveral ministries in our life, for our Master may call us to move. Steve |
