Deeper Waters Forum Guidelines
Notice The ministries featured in this section of TheologyWeb are guests of this site and in some cases not bargaining for the rough and tumble world of debate forums, though sometimes they are. Additionally, this area is frequented and highlighted for guests who also very often are not acclimated to debate fora. As such, the rules of conduct here will be more strict than in the general forum. This will be something within the discretion of the Moderators and the Ministry Representative, but we simply ask that you conduct yourselves in a manner considerate of the fact that these ministries are our invited guests. You can always feel free to start a related thread in general forum without such extra restrictions. Thank you.
Deeper Waters is founded on the belief that the Christian community has long been in the shallow end of Christianity while there are treasures of the deep waiting to be discovered. Too many in the shallow end are not prepared when they go out beyond those waters and are quickly devoured by sharks. We wish to aid Christians to equip them to navigate the deeper waters of the ocean of truth and come up with treasure in the end.
We also wish to give special aid to those often neglected, that is, the disabled community. This is especially so since our founders are both on the autism spectrum and have a special desire to reach those on that spectrum. While they are a special emphasis, we seek to help others with any disability realize that God can use them and that they are as the Psalmist says, fearfully and wonderfully made.

As Cow Poke noted, the Hebrew word translated as "birds," which includes "bats" does in fact translate more properly as "winged creatures" or "flying creatures" but even then, there would be difficulties - flying creatures would not include flightless birds, flying creatures would include such things as flying fish. Some words and concepts simply won't translate from one language to another - some might translate adequately into a different other language. For example Koine Greek "biazo" can't be translated to English, but it can be translated directly to Japanese - kekkyoku suru. As adjectives, both translate to the nearest English equivalent as "violent" ... which is wholly misleading.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

They also have wings.Last edited by ReformedApologist; 06-02-2019, 02:49 PM.

Still up to c. 1400 it was often used in the specific sense "the young of a bird, fledgling, nestling, chick," and of the young of other animals (bees, fish, snakes) and human children.

For example, God's order to slay infant (1 Sam 15:3) and anything that breathes (Deut 20:16-17) is in conflict with God's quality of justice and love. Such claimed orders of God will not be made in human courts.

I am afraid you missed my point. Here is my point: how a loving (1 John 4:7) and a just God (Hebrews 6:10) orders the killings infants as in 1 Samuel 15:3. It is a theological conflict. We accept that God is loving and just. But it cannot be acceptable that God orders to kill infants.
God ordered infants killed, but we know God is both loving and just, therefore, we can be assured that those infants did not suffer anything unnecessarily, and that they have been completely re-compensated by God Himself for any loss they might have had.
Problem solved. Just as well God is loving and just otherwise Him ordering infants killed would be kind of bad....>>> Witty remark or snarky quote of another poster goes here <<<...
