Greetings Pew Potato!
I agree that we must be careful not to read details into the text. However, the key word here is the 'cloth'.
If the cloth refers to a towel, then the verb used obviously means that it was folded and set aside neatly.
If the cloth refers to bands of material, then the verb used would mean that it was wrapped, which could describe either an action prior to the resurrection or after.
Either way, the meaning of the text is not changed in any way. Jesus was alive! Praise the Lord!

Greetings JPatt!
Thanks for the response!
There have been attempts over the years to make the saying less difficult.
One explanation was that maybe the word should have been 'rope' instead of 'camel'. However, in Greek, they are two different words. Some later manuscripts use the word for 'rope', rather than camel, but there is no textual support for such a reading.
Another explanation is that in Aramaic, the words for 'rope' and 'camel' are the same. However, the problem here is that the text is written in Greek, not Aramaic, so it really makes no difference.
A third view was that 'eye of the needle' referred to a really small gate through which a camel had to crawl. There was a needle gate, but it wasn't built until the middle ages, so it can't be what Jesus was referencing.
Either way, the text makes it clear that the difficulty is supposed to be there. That is why the disciples asked Jesus, 'Then, How can anyone be saved?' in v. 26.
They apparently understood Jesus' saying as being difficult even then. :-)
The link you provided is pretty good. They argue there that His statement was meant to be hyperbole and difficult.

Greetings CDBJ!
I'll have to do some more reading on your info, but the Greek word for 'cloth' is 'soudarian'. It refers to a small towel used to wipe sweat from one's face. In this case, they were sometimes used to cover the face during burial.
The word doesn't seem to match the description give by your source, as it is a towel, not strips of cloth.
The same word is used in Luke 19:20, John 11:44, and Acts 19:12.
I'll do some more checking though.

Greetings Beja!
Good point! :-)
Another thought that I have had over the years is that many of the crowns are different ways of describing the same thing - salvation.
As I have looked at these passages, I can really only see two distinct crowns, the Crown of life and the Martyr's crown.
Personally, I believe that all of the 'other' crowns are just different ways of saying crown of life.

Actually, the Gospel of John records that the grave clothes were folded and neatly placed in the tomb.
Joh 20:6 Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 20:7 as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus' head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen.

Greetings Lightedsteps!
I hope you don't mind if I jump in on this discussion.
I understand the verses you are appealing to, and what you are trying to say about the reality of Christ's humanity.
However, you are making a fundamental mistake in assuming that real temptation necessitates a fallen, depraved, human nature.
Consider the situation of Adam and Eve. Were they created with a fallen, depraved, human nature?
Of course, they were not! Yet, they were tempted by Satan. The fact that temptation was a reality for Christ does not mean that he had a fallen, depraved, human nature.
This fallen, depraved, human nature is described in Scripture.
Psa 51:5 Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
Rom 3:10 As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one;
Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
None of these passages describe the human nature that Christ possessed. He was without sin in any form - Heb 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin.
So, Jesus was tempted, but He had no sin.

:-) Good question!
My defense would be that I wasn't formulating a doctrine, but simply listing what happened.
While we don't want to base doctrine upon narrative, the narratives are still Scripture. So, if Scripture specifically says that an individual was filled more than once, then they certainly were filled more than once.
What does that mean? I'm not sure! :-)

Greetings Vnct Blzn!
How does one interpret? That is a complex subject. :-)
However, the best rule of thumb is to take Scripture in the way in which it was intended. A story is not a command. A command is not a poem. A poem is not instruction, ect....
That is what I meant about Acts being narrative. Someone in a narrative doing something, even if it occurs over and over again, is not a command for us to do the same thing. What they did may or may not be correct, unless Scripture tells us specifically.
Interpretation itself is really not that difficult, or at least not as difficult as many people make it out to be. :-)
The reason we end up with so many different interpretations is because so many ignore the basic rules of grammar.
If you are interested in a more detailed examination of this topic, I would recommend the book, 'How to Read the Bible for All it is Worth' by Gordon Fee. It is an excellent handling of the topic, but very readable.

Navigation can be difficult at times. :-)
I am glad my post was helpful.
From experience, I can tell you how your friend will most likely respond. He will probably say that tongues are implied, even though they are not mentioned.
The strongest point though is not whether or not tongues are mentioned, but the fact that no 'teaching' portion of Scripture states that everyone who is filled with Spirit will speak in tongues.
Even if every instance of a narrative mentioned tongues, one could not build a doctrine based upon a narrative alone.

Greetings Ariel Levin!
Please, just call me 'Tim'! :-)
I feel old enough as it is! ;-)
I don't always agree with Barnes, but he usually makes some good observations.
I assume that you are talking about the 70 in Numbers 11. If so, I don't so any conflict with Barnes' statements.
The 70 received a portion of the Spirit from Moses to accomplish a specific task. Nothing is said in Scripture about whether or not the Spirit stayed on them at all times or only when they were performing that specific task.
Neither is anything said about how long the Spirit stayed upon them.
Either way, the coming of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament is vastly different in both extent and nature.
Christ promised us that the Holy Spirit would indwell all believers, forever.
Great question my friend! Let us know if you find any more information about it.

Greetings Biblenovice!
You wrote:
"Notice that there was no mention of "prayers" in either James 4:3, nor in my original question, but only of "asking.""
But, in your original post, you wrote:
"Does anyone have any idea why my prayers for adequate heat in that car were not answered, or can anyone describe how I (or any member of my family) could possibly consume adequate heat and a working defroster upon our collective lusts?"
So, you did mention prayer. :-)
Instead of Luke 6:38, I believe that you are referring to Phil. 4:19, but even that verse makes no mention of 'asking' or of 'prayer'.
Is there really a difference between 'asking' and 'praying'?
The word for 'ask' is used in various contexts relating to prayer.
In Matthew 6, verses 7 and 9 refer to 'prayer', while verse 8 refers to 'asking'. Clearly, 'asking' is considered prayer.
Matt. 21:22 says that we will receive whatever we ask for in prayer. See also Mark 11:24.
Col. 1:9 mentions both words together.
Prayer is asking God for something!

This topic has been much discussed in the past and it usually led to bad things. :-(
It might be better to simply drop the topic and search the archives. There are several differing views of what 'election' and 'predestination'. Both sides believe that 'their' view is the correct one.

Greetings Doc!
I had thought about the disciples comment to Jesus, but the question specifically asked for imprecatory prayers. Their comment was a question, not a prayer.
There are other examples of curses, like Paul blinding a man. But, I can't think of any prayers off of the top of my head. :-)

Greetings Val!
In our congregation, I teach that tithing is not a required for Christians. However, I also add the following.
1) Giving is required of Christians.
2) Tithing is a good way to give consistently.
3) Many denominations list tithing as a expectation of it's member's.
So, while not required, it is certainly an excellent practice to develop. :-)

Greetings Rick!
The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia spells out the differences between marriage and betrothal.
During betrothal, the couple:
- Did not live together
- Did not engage in sexual relations
- Were usually betrothed for periods of months to even years, though one year was probably normal.
The one big difference between our engagement practices and their betrothal practice is that it required a divorce to break a betrothal.
But, a couple was not considered 'married' until the betrothal period was over, the husband had brought his bride home with him, and the union was consummated sexually.
I had to read all of this recently as I was preparing my Advent series. :-)
