    Hey Dan

    Jesse A, is right,

    John is speaking to believers who are in the progressional stages of "sanctification of the Spirit unto obedience & sprinkling of the Blood of Jesus". they're learning & putting on Christ in ever increasing measures, yet they have not yet attain to the baptismal of Christ were self is crucified & they are "dead unto sin" but are in the working out of their salvation with fear & trembling, revealing the true fear of the Lord is working within their hearts, to depart from all evil.

    In this ever increasing measures of growth in Christ/Grace/Light/Spirit 1John 1:8 is refer too, John commands them to 1John 2:1 keep repenting, remaining tender to the motions of His Spirit, with a heart devoted to the fear of the Lord until the appointed time of the Father when we are baptize with the baptismal of Christ, " thoroughly purged". We having experientially learnt the struggles of Rom 6 & 7 and have been brought to Rom 8:1,2 & their is no condemnation because His Word has

    Isa 55:11, go & sin no more, we have been brought through 1Pet 5:10 in Christ, born again of the Incorruptible Seed & thus become incorruptible too, by the Cross/ Spirit / Grace / Light shining in our hearts & received John 1:12

    through all these experiences in the working out of our salvation & in our continuing to perfecting of holiness in the love & fear of God, ever growing in Grace, we can say with John, 1John 1:1-3

    Oh, praise the Lord, Psalms 62:5 Proverbs 23:18

    God's plans for the nations

    When examining the nations after the flood and during the failed attempt to build the tower of Babel everyone spoke one language until God Himself confused it (see Genesis 10:7-9). This was associated with the geographic breaking of the continents it would appear; or perhaps there was passage along the Alaskan peninsula when it was still covered with ice to allow Asiatic peoples to cross over. There have been people that seem to treace to Egypt as well who were mentioned a few generations ahead of Eber; and it is surmised some may have come over on ships. Genesis 10:25 states

    "One was named Peleg, because in his time the earth was divided; his brother was named Joktan." (these were the sons of Eber). The general spiritual understanding of most cultures holds on to an original concept of God and stories of a worldwide flood are universal throughout the continents. These are known as the "Epic of Gilgamesh" in the Mideast; and with different characters of 8 persons in the Chinese legends; for example. Hebrew has been said to be traced perhaps to the original language; I find it interesting that some of the characters appear to be pictures and some are letters. The eastern languages tended to have pictorial representations; but there are many complex variations in the Americas among a plethora of different Indian nations. Stories also are universal describing races of giants; which match up with the many giants before and after the flood in scripture ( Gen. 6:4); see also Numbers 13:33 And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim).

    Proverbs 23:10 states "Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless". Another word for landmark is "boundary stones." Deuteronomy 32:8 states: "When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel."

    I was paddled in high school for infractions like being late to class. Those paddling were done in the open with plenty of others watching. Those disciplinary measures did not hurt but helped my development into stable adulthood. But that is not why God was right to command parents to discipline their children.
  • Marke - In Reply on Proverbs 23:18 - 2 years ago
    I expect Christian parents who obey God will possibly face legal action from government officials beholding to human laws that openly defy and contradict God.
  • Chris - In Reply on Proverbs 23:18 - 2 years ago
    And then there is the law whereby disciplining parents might have to answer to the govt for any type of physical discipline that they receive complaint on. In some cases parents overstep the mark, but the law practically forbids any type of physical discipline.

    Many of us are well into our years & have not escaped the cane, strap or flying shoe when younger. For me, I came out the better for it & gave due respect to my parents (specifically my Mother who was the keeper of the weapons) & learnt to respect elders, teachers & law officers. And much could be said on that subject of many of today's youth in the home, school & society.

    Proverbs 23:13-14

    Proverbs 23:13-14

    King James Version

    13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

    14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

    Many modern parents struggle with this commandment from God. They do not think a parent should spank (or beat) a child in discipline. The problem with human thinking and God's commands is that they ofter conflict. I recommend parents obey God rather than their emotions or the advice of unbelievers.

    Hi Nick.

    Proverbs 23:13-14. Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

    Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

    I believe that says chastise your children.

    Strong's Concordance gives a proposed definition for the Hebrew word as a 'perversity' or 'fraud.' The Hebrew word translated "frowardness" in Proverbs 10 is also translated "perverse things" in Proverbs 23.

    Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

    Dear Amos nr 1. Ornaments are not necessary for God, but perhaps for people to think that HE IS HOLY A GOD.

    nr 2.

    It may be that water may be contaminated, which unclean / poison etc. Then one can drink food wine. 1 Timothy 5:23

    Proverbs 23:30-35 here it is talked about not being an alcoholic.

    nr 3. Now here comes the confusion:

    Paul says it is a misnomer for a man to go with long hair. Likewise, it is for woman and having long hair an honor. 1 Corintihans 11

    Personally, I think here that the Corinthians who were very distinctive and proud. Failed to reach agreement. But it is a sign of authority. Easily explained.

    Jesus is the man's head if he is a believer. 1 Corintians 11:15 Note in particular that the chapter continues with the Lord's meal. Authority and trust. The man rules over the woman with whom he is Married. Not other men's wives.

    1 Corintihans 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. Amen

    A little personal here now Again :D long time ago i had long hair, then it was okay to say it was an honor because it says in the bible?

    Today, my neck locks in place, so i would rather cut my own hair. So what severity it would be in Christ if anyone came to me and said that i am malnourished!

    But if i come to a church where everyone wears a hat on their head, now i do not show my shame-cut head. If it should cause someone to fall, i would put on one hat, and not cause someone to fall. If i dont have a hat i pray for it and the hat to go to meeting with, will come becouse of a pray. If its necessarily, Jesus will give me one or two hats. Amen

    I love Jesus Christ ppl. In His name i could do any thing. Like in 1 Corintians 10:23-24

    God bless us all with understanding and wisdom when He decides In Jesus Holy Name Amen.

    Be sensible and work your job. It's okay to have a dream but don't leave your sure thing to follow after fleeting pleasures; in the which most are built upon vain fantasies that may or may not come true. Good reference scripture for this verse is 1 Timothy 8-10 and Proverbs 23:4. Also I think the other translations for this scripture are great in conjunction with this one!
  • Chris - In Reply on James 5 - 3 years ago
    The Apostle James, in this chapter, is condemning the rich, as those who made it their god & used it unwisely for their own benefit & pleasure, rather than for the blessing of others & proper payment to their workers. Their riches were consumed upon their own lusts: lusts for living in carnal pleasures & for high, extravagant living. They "nourished their hearts": this paints the picture of over-indulgence, or fattening themselves, as one does for an animal being prepared for eventual slaughter. Such animals were specially looked after, not worked, only lived in quietness with plenty of good grain to feed on. This resembled these 'rich' men as those fatted contented 'cows' who one day have as their only destiny, their complete demise & destruction.

    To find a direct meaning of James 5:5 may not be possible because of the Greek text. However, you could consider the following Scriptures that show a person who lives for self-indulgence or self-gratification to the casting aside of the things of God & holy living.

    Ecclesiastes 2:1-11; Philippians 2:17-19; Proverbs 23:20,21; Ephesians 5:15-19; 1 Corinthians 6:12,13; Matthew 6:19-21.
