I would like to know where such scripture can be found in the Bible. Please explain the scripture (if you think that it would not be interpreted well to pin-point my question).

First you have to know what the scriptures say about what to do with your money.  You can go to biblegateway.com and do a topical listing of the subject "sowing".  The purpose of having money is sowing it in the proper avenues that will help others and in turn bless you.  Luke 6:38 is a giving principle that will help you obtain your finaial goals.  We do live in the "I got to have it right now and the easy way" society but in the long run you want to be blessed and a blessing to others.  I hope this helps but I want you to do the research yourself and not take other peoples word for it.  Be Blessed

For those who believe, the Bible is a living book.  Which means that the words today are as true as they were yesterday, today, and tomorrow.  When you find new understanding of the scripture it is a little of both going on.  God knows that no one can understand everything all at one time, and he knows that we all learn in different ways.  When scripture messages are "revealed" to you, that is a revelation that God sent to you in a way that you needed to understand it at a time you needed to understand it. Now if you interpret, and it is not God's will, he will find a way to "reveal" that too.  Because if you believe and are truly faithful, God will always provide you with the tools and the information you need.  So, even if you interpret (yourself) and it is a wrong interpretation because you got in the way of your own understanding, God will reveal it to you when you need it.  That is why being a Christian is a journey.  If we all had the ability to read, understand, and apply absolutely everything, then the journey would be over. So, sometimes you will be confused, sometimes you will stumble...but if you are a believer and you ask...he will pick you up when you fall. Just be open and accepting of your revelations as they come and keep studying. Good luck and God Bless.

I honestly believe they think those biblical verses are going to once again 'make us see the light' and bring us back when most of the time we just shake our heads in disgust and it reminds us why we left.  Most of us won't even READ them, we just skip over them.  A good chunk of us already know them so spouting them won't do anything.  Only thing it serves to do is drive us further away and remind us why we left to begin with!

haha, maybe that bible has some DIRECTION as to where to find downloads. \n\nOh wait, downloads aren't in the bible so they must not EXIST!

1. What scripture verse was translated incorrectly (What did the incorrect verse say)\n\nHERE IS THE WHOLE STORY, FOR THOSE WHO MAY NOT KNOW:::\n\n          Exodus 34:28-35  28 And he was there with the \n          Etrnl forty days and forty nights; he did \n          neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote \n          upon the tables the words of the covenant, the \n          ten commandments. 29  And it came to pass, when \n          Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two \n          tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came \n          down from the mount, that Moses wist not that \n          the skin of his face shone while he talked with  \n          him.  כי קרן עור פניו בדברו אתו׃\n          30  And when Aaron and all the children of \n          Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face \n          shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. \n          31  And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and \n          all the rulers of the congregation returned unto \n          him: and Moses talked with them. 32  And \n          afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: \n          and he gave them in commandment all that the \n          Etrnl had spoken with him in mount Sinai. 33  \n          And till Moses had done speaking with them, he \n          put a vail on his face. 34  But when Moses went \n          in before the Etrnl to speak with him, he took \n          the vail off, until he came out. And he came \n          out, and spake unto the children of Israel that \n          which he was commanded. 35  And the children of \n          Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of \n          Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon \n          his face again, until he went in to speak with\n          him. \n\nThe verse incorrectly translated is, of course, Exodus 34:29 above, and i have supplied the Hebrew. The word mistranslated is the word, 'KEREN,' meaning 'beam,' like a beam of light. Unfortunately, the word also means horn, as in a 'horn of plenty.'\n\n2. and what is the correct translation?\n\nMay own translation:::\n\nExo 34:29 ויהי ברדת משׁה מהר סיני ושׁני לחת העדת ביד־משׁה ברדתו מן־ההר ומשׁה לא־ידע כי קרן עור פניו בדברו אתו׃\n\nAnd when Moses came down from the Mountain of Sinai, with the two tablets of the testimony in the hand of Moses, when he came down from the Mountain, and Moses did not know that beams of light (keren or) shone from his face when he spoke with Him.\n\nAdditional information:: When i was a kid, i actually had Christians come up to me, asking me where my horns were? Their ministers and their families had taught them that the Jews actually had horns, based on the New Testament quotation, when Jesus calls The Jews children of Satan!!!!

Well done.  I knew about the one in Exodus, but the others are new to me.  Thanks for pointing that out.  \n\nI'm a Bible believing Christian and I have always supported abortion.  In fact, I support abortion even when the mother doesn't want to in cases where the child will be born seriously defective.  \n\nI have gotten into many arguments with my Christian friends over this and I believe their problem is that they listen to what the preacher says and not the Bible.  For me, the Bible trumps the preacher any day.\n\nGreat job.\n\n===\nTo Williamzo: Exodus 21:22 says {para} "If two men fight and during the fight a pregnant woman is injured such that she miscarries, the man shall be FINED as the judges determine, but  if the woman also dies, then the man is put to death."  I suggest you read it again.\n\nWhat God is telling us in this verse is that an unborn baby is NOT the same thing as a human life.  If it were, the punishment would be death for that also.  Thus, God is telling us that abortion is NOT murder.\n\nBefore conception/before entering the womb - Isn't it obvious that God is talking about their spirit and not their physical body?

Wow a Christian using scripture in their thoughts on dogma- novel idea that I hope continues. I totally agree- Ephesians 2 8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. Kinda hard to argue with that scripture too huh? But we must see-as James points out- that good works are a result of our faith. Not that  we need to do them to get into Heaven-but if we follow Christ- and He was a servant to all- then we will do the same. Great point!

I don't get it.  The Bible is utterly insane!  How can one base a believe system on it.

There is no mention of any other world, human or extra-terrestrial, in the bible.\nSo, if there is other life, God didn't inform us about it.  In other words, no one knows.\nI happen to believe that we're all there is.  But, I guess I'll find out for sure when I die.\n\n\n***update,\nCan you find that scripture?  I'd be interested in seeing it.\n\n\n***update**\nUnfortunately my concordance is packed away (I just moved) and I can't look the word up.  I'd be willing to bet that it's talking about the other planets.  It still doesn't specify that there is alien life or other people on other planets.\nIt could be that there is...I don't know and no one does for sure.  I just don't think so.\nNotice that the verse talks about things that are seen are not made from things that do appear.  In other words, what we see was not made from what exists naturally.  VERY interesting because it is a direct verse that says evolution is false.  It is talking about looking at the creation and realizing that God had to create it because it would be absurd to think this all created itself.\n\nGoing back to things that are seen.  I would say that this verse is only talking about the planets in our solar system.  We see those and they are other worlds.  However, there's no life on any of them.  Only earth can sustain life.

my interpretation of this verse has to do with sin.  If you repent this sin on earth, it will be forgiven in heaven.

That's actually a really interesting question, and I'm afraid I don't have much time to fully answer it, but I'll give you a basic overview.\n\n\nBack when all the texts were compiled and what should (or not) be included in the New and Old Testaments was decided, some of the texts were left out.\nWhile some were fully censored and destroyed (for example, the newly discovered "Gospel of Judas"), others were simply censored or adapted.\nThe existence of Nephilim was one of those situations, where the scriptures were slightly censored and therefore some rare references to generally unknown things can be read in there. Never heard of Lilith? That's another example of a removed text.\n\nWhile in the link I'll provide below there is some information about your subject, you could also try to read the "Dead Sea Scrolls" or "Apocrypha", as they have some of the texts that were cut out and (perhaps) provide more information on Nephilim.

It's common knowlege that there are tons of scriptures that where left out of the bible. Many thought that the "Holy Grail" was these lost scriptures. \n\nAnswer - No, the bible is not complete

The verses you quoted are just one of many contridictions the Bible contains.  The most blatant one is the one that claims the Bible is the literal word of God.  If so, the Bible could not say anything which could even be the least bit ambiguous.  This of course accepts the premise that God is perfect.  Either God is imperfect, or the Bible is not God's\n literal word.

I'm sure this is tongue in cheek, but obviously one can be christian and not think that the bible is meant to be read as literal truth in every word.  you'd go crazy reconciling the contradictions.

Paul SAYS Jesus said this, but it isn't anywhere to be found in the Gospels.  Possibly Jesus never said it, or maybe Paul made it up; Or, possibly, one of the hundreds of "editors" of the bible thought it was a nice sentiment and added it.

Where in the Bible does it say that the Church will be ruptured at a different time from everyone else?  Did God deliver the Hebrews from the Egyptian plagues or did He deliver them through the plagues?  The Church will be here for everything if you believe what the Bible says!

These verses aren't saying the same things at all, and you aren't understanding them because you are looking at them out of context.  These are all from the NRS.\n\nGen 3:  14 The Lord God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you among all animals and among all wild creatures; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will strike your head, and you will strike his heel."\n\n16 To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pangs in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."\nhttp://bible1.crosswalk.com/OnlineStudyBible/bible.cgi?word=Genesis+2&section=0&version=nrs&new=1&oq=&NavBook=ge&NavGo=2&NavNextChapter=%3E%3E&NavCurrentChapter=2\n\nHere in Genesis 3:16, YHVH is telling Eve that her punishment for eating of the Tree of Knowledge is to have pain during childbirth, and yet to still desire sexual relations with her husband in spite of it; that her husband will rule over her on account of her desire for sexual relations with him.\n\nGen 4: 3 In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, 4 and Abel for his part brought of the firstlings of his flock, their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, 5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.\n\n6 The Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is lurking at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it." \nhttp://bible1.crosswalk.com/OnlineStudyBible/bible.cgi?passage=ge+4&version=nrs&language=en&showtools=0\n\nHere, in Gen 4:7, YHVH is telling Cain that if he does good things he will be happy; that Cain should desire to do good things because good things desire Cain to make good things manifest.  But evil things also desire Cain to make evil things manifest, and so Cain must learn to control himself - to gain mastery over himself - in order to differentiate between good and evil, and then presumably choose good over evil because man's natural state is godlike and therefore good.
