How do you translate a bible verse from English to the Thai language. Any Thai people on here?
I want to translate the Bible Verse, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," Hebrew 11:1 into the Thai scripture. Can any Thai person help me to translate it to the Thai language?
ฮบ. 11:1 – ความเชื่อคือความแน่ใจในสิ่งที่เราหวังไว้ เป็นความรู้สึกมั่นใจว่า สิ่งที่ยังไม่ได้เห็นนั้นมีจริง

What’s the Bible verse in John that talks about people will see you by the fruit you bear?
I’m doing a bible lesson on the fruit of the spirit. But I can’t seem to memorize the Bible Verse in john that talks about people will know you by the fruit you bear(or something like that). Could anyone help me?
Matthew 5:16 " Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Does every religion accept its own God only and no others? Are there any religions that share Gods?
And if every religion rejects all other Gods isn’t that rather similar in some ways to the atheists’ position?
.
exactly. if every Religion claims that their god is the right one, doesn’t that clearly show that there may be none at all ?? religion is a stupid fairytale concept. people should seriously wake up from this delusion.
Please do not just claim that it feels right. Every religion feels right to the people in it.
I mean, what proved to you that this is the one, true, guaranteed, truth?
An example of this is….
Muslims and Catholics are do not agree, and are opposites on several things, but both have people that believe in their religion so much that that will kill, and die for it. Both can not be true, so at least one, possibly both, feel right, but are not right.
Disregarding the "feeling right" what proof do you have that your Religion is the truth?
Any religion – it is the opium for the people.
People by nature of the soul – egoists. Everybody wants to live forever.
Having something if not here, but at least somewhere after.
Those men of genius, who came first thought of to create a paradise in heavens and hell under the earth, in fact, nothing particularly clever not invented. They just gave people something that people yearn for. And people want – immortality. And they – got this. At least in the form of faith in this beautiful nonsense. People do not want ugly truth. They want a fairy tale.
Sparks from the fire, too, might wants to be eternal. But it goes into nothingness under the pressure of imminent rule: "Nothing is eternal under the Moon."
Nothing is eternal under the Moon
and nothing new.
And everything associated with you,
just word – a moment of the toon.
What is intercessory prayer? How can I intercede for others through my prayer life?
What is intercessory prayer?
How can I intercede for others through my prayer life?
Quite simply, intercessory prayer is the act of praying on behalf of others. The role of mediator in Prayer was prevalent in the Old Testament, in the cases of Abraham, Moses, David, Samuel, Hezekiah, Elijah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel. Christ is pictured in the New Testament as the ultimate intercessor, and because of this, all Christian prayer becomes intercession since it is offered to God through and by Christ. Jesus closed the gap between us and God when He died on the cross. Because of Jesus’ mediation, we can now intercede in prayer on behalf of other Christians or for the lost, asking God to grant their requests according to His will. “For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). “Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us” (Romans 8:34).
The following is only a partial list of those for whom we are to offer intercessory prayers: all in authority (1 Timothy 2:2); ministers (Philippians 1:19); the church (Psalm 122:6); friends (Job 42:8); fellow countrymen (Romans 10:1); the sick (James 5:14); enemies (Jeremiah 29:7); those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44); those who forsake us (2 Timothy 4:16); and all men (1 Timothy 2:1).
God calls all Christians to be intercessors. It is God’s desire that every believer be active in intercessory prayer. What a wonderful and exalted privilege we have in being able to come boldly before the throne of Almighty God with our prayers and requests!

What God wants to do on the earth, He will do through prayer intercessors. When God wants to change those course of actions or events that will take a path of their own, He searches out an intercessor, on whose heart He can place His desires. Therefore that intercessor will interceed, and pray, and change those events or courses of action.
Make a list of the people you pray for. Be specific. What needs do you want to help carry for another. When someone asks you to pray for them, add them to your list. Then make it a point to contact these people and tell them you are praying for them daily. This is important because the next time you are tempted to omit your time of prayer you will remember that you told someone you were praying for them and in your desire to be faithful you will make time to pray.
Also note what is going on in the news, like right now the world’s response to the earthquake in Haiti. Add any disaster, or weather related situations, for example, to your prayers. Pray for those affected, or in harms way who may not be able to pray for themselves. People you may not even know!
I did a study and found family values presented in the bible to be horrible! What are biblical family values?
there are plenty of examples of terrible family behavior like cain and abel (murdering a sibling) abraham and sarai/hagar (sleeping with your wife’s slave and then kicking her and her son to the curb), etc… I won’t keep going. Jesus himself said in so many words that we must give up our attachments to our families to truly become christian. As a studious christian living with the real book in the real world, it bothers me to hear people talk about biblical family values! Have you people ever even read the bible?
please tell me the scriptural basis of these "biblical family values" because it seems so silly to me.
well, let’s start off with something. You are CLEARLY NOT a "studious christian living with the real book in the real world" because if you were you wouldn’t come on here and mock the word of a holy and righteous God.
To answer your other question, as if you are really interested, read Ephesians 5.
To get truly saved, see below.
I need a Bible Verse that talks about you should do good to others without them having to ask. Or a verse about trying to do good even if others don’t want your help.
The good Samaritan parable?
What’s a bible verse or quote pertaining to people who say their Holy but their actions say otherwise?
These women I know claim to be SO HOLY and faithful Christians but their actions say otherwise. I’d like to leave a Bible Verse or quote laying around for them to see so I can tell them how I feel without "directly" telling them. I can’t say anything to them because I work with them but I think this would be a way to express how I feel without getting into trouble. Thanks fo your help!!
I’m not quite sure of your motivation (it sounds like you want to point out their hypocrisy but are not of the same systems of beliefs?) but Romans Chapter 6 speaks fairly well to this. Sorry for the KJV…
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 ¶ For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9 knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Peace, Bill
Why do people think Jesus is the Messiah although he has not fulfilled most of the scriptural requirements?
So far, Jesus only seems to fit these vague criteria:
He will be descended from King David (Isaiah 11:1) via Solomon (1 Chronicles 22:8-10, 2 Chronicles 7:18)
The Moshiach will be a man of this world, an observant Jew with "fear of God" (Isaiah 11:2)
He will be a messenger of peace (Isaiah 52:7)
All of these hese are left unfulfilled:
The Sanhedrin will be re-established (Isaiah 1:26)
Once he is King, leaders of other nations will look to him for guidance. (Isaiah 2:4)
The whole world will worship the One God of Israel (Isaiah 2:17)
Evil and tyranny will not be able to stand before his leadership (Isaiah 11:4)
Knowledge of God will fill the world (Isaiah 11:9)
He will include and attract people from all cultures and nations (Isaiah 11:10)
All Israelites will be returned to their homeland (Isaiah 11:12)
Death will be swallowed up forever (Isaiah 25:8)
There will be no more hunger or illness, and death will cease (Isaiah 25:8)
All of the dead will rise again (Isaiah 26:19)
The Jewish people will experience eternal joy and gladness (Isaiah 51:11)
Nations will end up recognizing the wrongs they did to Israel (Isaiah 52:13-53:5)
The peoples of the world will turn to the Jews for spiritual guidance (Zechariah 8:23)
The ruined cities of Israel will be restored (Ezekiel 16:55)
Weapons of war will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9)
The Temple will be rebuilt resuming many of the suspended mitzvot (Ezekiel 40)
He will then perfect the entire world to serve God together (Zephaniah 3:9)
Jews will know the Torah without study (Jeremiah 31:33)[3]
He will give you all the worthy desires of your heart (Psalms 37:4)
Why haven’t these things happened? And come on, Jesus was the first person to ever speak of such a thing. He made that up. There are clear guidlines establishing the Messianic Age.
No, please explain how hunger and illness have ceased already!! Please tell me how evil and tyranny don’t stand anymore. Please explain how the weapons of war have been destroyed. Please explain what happened to my worthy desires!!!
You are correct. The Jewish messianic prophecies have not been fulfilled by either Jesus, nor anyone else. Back then, many young Jewish men claimed to be the messiah; some of them were far better qualified than Jesus, in that they DID fulfill a few of the prophecies. None were accepted, though, because the Jewish maschiach *must* fulfill them ALL before dying – no ’second coming’.
I am baffled as to the list of ‘prophecies’ that some Christians present here. Where on earth do they come from? Certainly, they are not taken from the Tanakh, the Jewish bible.
As for the Christian argument that Jesus ‘will’ fulfill the prophecies upon his ‘return’ – it’s clear to many of us that this ’second coming’ is merely a device to explain HOW Jesus could die WITHOUT fulfilling the Jewish prophecies.
Christians are often asking why Jews don’t accept Jesus as messiah – well, here we have one of the reasons. Christians have to appreciate that THEIR prophecies are not OUR prophecies. Our messiah must fulfill OUR prophecies – full stop.
Jesus was almost certainly a cannabis user and an early proponent of the medicinal properties of the drug, according to a study of scriptural texts.
The study suggests that Jesus and his disciples used the drug to carry out miraculous healings.
Muckwathagicku asked for sources, rather than doing the legwork himself.
The research is reported in http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,869273,00.html ,
which ecxpalins that "The anointing oil used by Jesus and his disciples contained an ingredient called kaneh-bosem which has since been identified as cannabis extract, according to an article by Chris Bennett in the drugs magazine, High Times, entitled Was Jesus a Stoner? The incense used by Jesus in ceremonies also contained a cannabis extract, suggests Mr Bennett, who quotes scholars to back his claims."
OK, so I have done your work for you. Now please comment, Mr. Muckwathagicku.
The thing does indeed appear likely.
John Cunyus, the author of a book on Christian healing, said: "Well, the Bible does say that St. Stephen was stoned… but perhaps not in that sense!"
Perhaps YES in that sense!
