Proper Principles of Bible Study

I personally think Paul must have looked a lot like me, based on the fact that God would have wanted him to be a handsome feller.

What part of "Thou shalt not" don't you understand?

God has appeared to Rice in bodily form with a Bible in his hand and told Rice the Bible is His word, all Rice has is an opinion. And you know what they say about opinions, they're like derriers...evrybody's got one.

"where in the Bible does it say the devil is a liar?" I didn't get a scripture. What I got was some inductive logic by Fundies.

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

The word "devil" in this instance doesn't mean Satan or even demon, however. A devil <1228> was a "diabolos" and meant a false accuser and/or a slanderer. Jesus, for instance, said (about Judas), "have I not chosen you 12 and one of you is a devil?" <1228>

And in 1 Timothy 3:11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. the word "slanderers" is the same <1228> diabolos. I guess by the year 1611 it wasn't "nice" to call wives 'devils' ... so they used the more polite "slanderers".

One of the big problems with English translations is that they DIDN'T stay as true to the meaning of their Greek counterparts as they attempted to stay true to Christian doctrine. Thus, you find many single English words like "Devil" having DIFFERENT words used in Greek. When they accused JTBaptist of having a devil, the word was "daimonion" which actually MEANT a bad spirit.

a false accuser/slanderer. It means one who lies.

"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it" (John 8:44)

Here it is again in the Worldwide English translation:

"The bad spirit, the devil, is your real father. You gladly do the wrong things he wants you to do. From the beginning he killed people. He has nothing to do with what is true. His way is to tell lies. He himself is a liar and all lying comes from him."

And again in the New Living Translation:

"For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies."
