First, I LOVE CHRISTIAN HEDONISM. I am almost 100% sure it's Biblical. But I have a problem with John constantly quoting Psalm 37:4 as a command. As John...
Simply put, both the Hebrew word and the Greek translation (LXX) are imperatives, which mean that the word translated into the English as "Delight" is in fact...
You're right, I see it in the Strong's now. Should have looked there first. So in this case, you might paraphrase this verse to read, "You are commanded to...
... Chris, I agree that Psalm 37:4 is not a command. But it is a non-command restatement, ofttimes easier to understand, of the following commandment: And...
But it is a command. Delight is in the imperative form, and an imperative is a command. It is not an option that you can consider. It is a command that, if...
It definitely is a command, but we have the option to obey it. It seems obvious that to deight in anything but the Lord would be idolary. Thus, it is in the...
We have the option to obey or disobey any command (even the Ten Commandments). However, as Piper brings out, God promises terrible things to those who don't...
No, yet this is the mystery: the blind shall be judged for not seeing. Actually, I don't like the way that sounds. It's more accurate to say they shall be...
... Well, now that I understand the Hebrew imperitive form of the verb, it seems "Delight" /is/ a command. I wonder if perhaps the Bible translators have just...
... The blind will be judged for not seeing? The man answered, "Why, this is an amazing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes....
I think it is more that, since English is not an inflected language like Hebrew or Greek, our imperative form looks just like our declarative form. Soli Deo...
Dear Friends, I stumbled across the following while doing a search on Google. It's superb! Read on.... First the blurb..... Ryan Ferguson is giving a memorized...
... <snip> ... Perhaps you missed how I corrected myself. Immediately after that, I said, "It's more accurate to say they shall be judged for the acts that...
Actually, I do think it is biblically accurate to say that we are judge for our nature. Ephesians 2 says we are "by nature children of wrath." When Romans 5...
It's actually even more accurate to say that Ephesians 2 says that "*we were *" by nature children of wrath *like the rest of mankind. *Not that "we are"....
I apologize. I meant to use past tense in my Eph. 2 reference. I like your last sentence. Soli Deo Gloria, Pastor Douglas Mixer Grace Baptist Church ...
I too think it's biblical, and I do think that primarily speaking, the ultimate reason is the blindness called the sin condition. But don't you think that...
Perhaps 1 Corinthians 5:10 will shed some light on this topic: For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is...
Yes, I agree that we will be judged according to the "deeds done in the body." But those deeds are merely evidence of the condition. Just as faith produces...
Well-said. Can neither agree nor refute it, so I'll think about it some more. Thanks, Douglas. CD ... Think you're a good person? Yeah, right! ;-) Prove it:...
Hi guys, I'm going thru the "Foundation Verses" with my 4 and 6 year old children and tonight they learned Psalm 1:6 "for the Lord knows the way of the...
Hi David There are two ways to live. You can seek to live God's way [the right or righteous way] or you can live against Gdo and for yourself [the wicked way]....
... I subbed in a little-children Sunday school class once, and had this very question when reading Scripture. I told them that every time there is a...
Hello to the group. This is my first response to the group. I haven't answered the recent note to new subscribers to introduce themselves simply because I've...
Welcome James. I tend to agree that if you are discussing Psalm 1:6 and the question of righteous vs wicked comes up, the answer should be found in verses...
