Hi, Pew...
I apologize for accusing you of misdirection. Thank you for correcting my error.
Nonetheless, I think I will happily stick with the NASB. (Thank you, Lockman!) This single example of Acts 6:2 (where the HCSB renders "to serve tables" with "handling financial matters") is demonstrates how dynamic equivalence can go astray. Their rendering violates the context of the passage; i.e., the fair ministration to widows.
Therefore, I shift the blame of misdirection to the translators of HCSB (http://www.hcsb.org/pages/hcsbpages/About.aspx). Even the NIV and NLT (paraphrase) does a better job on this verse!
In Him, Doc |

Mitch,
While I agree with the others that this is probably not quite the best place to ask, for what its worth I shall respond. The reason I'm responding is because I am the pastor of a missionary baptist church. The answer is ofcourse that there is not set "role" of women just like there is no set "role" of men. All are to be godly, holy, obedient to the scriptures. All showing the traits found in places like galatians 5 and 2 Peter 1, all are suppose to be using their spiritual giftings to serve other christians. Perhaps if you were to ask a more specific question I could help you more than this.
In Christ, Beja |

God's day to you, Mitch1029,and weclomr to the SBF,
... You may send an email asking your questions at their web site:

The the role of women is a divisive subject ... and is minor for most. Therefore, I believe should not be discussed here.

bertjon2000 ...
He was in a Philippian jail cell with Silas (Acts 16:23-40)
His road to Rome started with being a prisoner in
- Jerusalem (Acts 23:16 (ref vs 18)- 30) ...
- the trip to Caesarea (vv 31-32)
- Caesarea (23:33-26:32)
- the trip to Rome (27:1-28:15)
- Rome (28:16-31)
But according to this verse (2 Cor 11:23), there were other imprisonments.
Tradtion says he was released from Rome ... then imprison again.
Do you see other imprisonments?

God's day to you, bertjon2000, and welcome to the SBF,
Can we presume all those converted in Jerusalem were pure blood Jews? We may presume so. But we don't know.
Out side of that we have the three sons of Noah:
The Samaritans son of Shem (Acts 8:4-25). They also had at least one of the other sons. They were not pure Jews.
The Ethiopian eunuch son of Ham (Acts 8:26-40). He could have been a Jew. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship (v 27) ... but that doesn't make him a Jew. Yes, I know the Jews were from Shem, too ... I wanted to show how the Gospel reached his sons outside of Jerusalem.
Cornelius son of Ham Japheth (Acts 10:1-11:18) is the one many/most say was the first Gentile was convert.
What do you think?

A sign of the promised blessing of peace is that Yahweh, the “Divine Warrior,” will fight for them and give them the victory over their enemies, no matter how great the odds against them. Thus five can rout a hundred. This underdog-turned-conqueror theme is also found in Deuteronomy 32:30, Joshua 23:10 and Isaiah 30:17. Similar assurance of the aid of a “Divine Warrior” is found in the Moabite inscription of King Mesha (c. 830 b.c.).

The Westminster Larger Catechism answers the question as follows:
True believers, by reason of the unchangeable love of God,(Jer. 31:3)
and his decree and covenant to give them perseverance,(2Tim. 2:19; Heb. 13:20–21; 2Sam. 23:5)
their inseparable union with Christ,(1Cor. 1:8–9)
his continual intercession for them,(Heb. 7:25; Luke 22:32)
and the Spirit and seed of God abiding in them,(1John 3:9; 2:27)
can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace,(Jer. 32:40; John 10:28)
but are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.(1Pet. 1:5) |

What does Zech 6:1-8 prophesy about |

Greetings Chomba!
Unless Scripture interprets prophecy for us, it is always a futile quest to fully understand it. :-)
However, the basic message can usually be gleaned, if not all of the details.
The message of Zechariah can best be understood as a two fold promise to Israel. A promise that Israel's punishment will not last forever and that those who hurt Israel will be held accountable.
In chapter one of Zechariah, four horses stood for four spirits of God sent out into the world, while four horns represented four great powers in the world who would be judged.
Thus, the easiest way to understand Zech. 6:1-8 is to see the four chariots as going out from God (from Israel, between the two mountains) and into the world to carry out God's judgment.
When did this happen? Most likely it happened when Israel was brought back into her own land again.
I hope this helps!
Your Brother in Christ,

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.
Your Brother in Christ,
Tim Moran
