    How to Effectively Study and Interpret of the Bible

    The general problem with some of the available bible study packages is that often the user uses the packages outside of their limitations. For example, one package gives the Root word and not also the actual word in either the Hebrew or Greek texts. What this lead to with this particular...

    Do you wear/like distressed/ripped jeans? (Poll also...)

    My father would get into trouble from my mother for going to town in his wholly/holy paint stained singlets. He would look like a dag. It is a bit like wearing distressed jeans today, but he was way before that fad. Often he would ride his fixed wheel bike the 4 miles to get into the town...

    Family member issue

    Perhaps, instead of talking about your family members who do not get what you are telling them so that they will leave you alone, if you followed Fluffy's example and instead asked God to include those family members among those who He will draw to Himself. The next step is to then thanked God...

    We told him to stop

    MatthewG, in Revelation 20 we are informed that Satan is captured and thrown into the Lake of Fire where the beast and the False prophet had just also been thrown into by Christ. We are also that after being imprisoned in the Bottomless Pit, Satan, the Beast and the False Prophet rise up out...

    How to Effectively Study and Interpret of the Bible

    What are you wanting, the prescriptive answers to anger in the first post quoted? When it was suggested that you could ignore the thread, your response was to attack the writer. I too would have withdrawn from having a conversation with you, as no good could come from it. The writer...

    The job dilemma

    But liberty requires us to comply with rules. In our society we have the liberty to worship God in whatever way we like, but the rules of that liberty is, that we must only worship God in sound proof boxes where the sound of our worship cannot escape so that others cannot hear it. Penalties do...

    The Sun is Scorching Men with Great Heat.

    ^^ OP Really? Do you know how wrong you are in trying to fit a distant future prophetic word into our present time frame. Jeremiah 51:11-16 actually speaks about our present circumstances but the false righteousness of the people who are "Called" by God's name do not have the eyes or the ears...

    How to Effectively Study and Interpret of the Bible

    To help demonstrate the issue the following may help: - Here are all of the KJV verses where G:3957 appears in the New Testament: - 1. Matthew 26:2: - Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. 2. Matthew 26:17: -...

    How to Effectively Study and Interpret of the Bible

    Now, after the above created rabbit warren trail, can we get back to the original purpose of this thread of How we should study and interpret the scriptures and allow @AW Bowman to present more of his wisdom on this matter. If you disagree with it, as he has suggested, you can ditch what he has...

    An article of faith

    Ah! broad brush strokes of inclusion eventually includes everybody in the same place or destiny and it is not the place they originally wanted to go to, but it is the only place that they can go to because of their hard hearts. Shalom

    LINE UPON LINE BIBLE STUDY

    Davy, if we study the bible "Line upon line" without the context of all of scripture, then we are not really studying the or meditating on the scriptures. I can study the scriptures and come to a conclusion that is not in the scriptures because I have not considered the full wisdom of all of...

    Is it ever ok to lie?

    Actually, there were women pilots that became involved unintentionally in aerial battles with the German air force when their plane delivery flights of new aircraft to airfields coincided with a German aerial attack on the airfield that the women delivery pilots were going to with the new planes...

    Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS)

    In 1993-94 a woman I knew went for an afternoon nap and did not wake up again. She died in her sleep. She snored a lot and probably suffered from Sleep Apnoea but at that time this was not a recognised aliment/condition. It is something that I have lived with since 1996. Sleep Apnoea...

    Infantile means immature or childish. Thumb-sucking and temper tantrums are examples of infantile behavior. Doctors use the word infantile just like you'd expect: to describe things having to do with infants or babies. I wonder what behaviour occurs on this forum to confirm this POV.

    Hello For me, one of the issues I investigate in my study of the Bible using a translation, is does the translation convey the same contextual understanding of the original source texts of the scriptures in the translation that I am using, before I begin to forge an understanding of what has...

    Did Jesus die on Friday?

    Why are you so angry? Is it because people disagree with your point of view on the subject of the days on which the crucifixion of Christ played out? I have told you my point of view with regards to this discussion "As I said above in my post that you quoted, "Oh well, have it your way. I am...
