581 | The Rock of Israel in the Wilderness? | Gen 28:18 | CDBJ | 177462 | ||
Hi Jim E, You seem to be pretty good at figuring things out, from reading your previous posts. Considering the total population that came out of Egypt, men, woman, and children, including all the cattle added in: approximately how large a “pipe” or hole, would you think it would have taken to supply enough water for all of Israel’s needs? It sure wasn’t a trickle coming out of that rock, as most people have pictured in their minds; I’m guessing a minimum of a 30” pipe or larger and really gushing at full tilt! Have fun, CDBJ |

What makes you think that the voice wasn't that of God Himself? Exodus 3:4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. The word Lord is from the Hebrew Yehovah and the word God is the Hebrew word Elohiym. The word malak, which is the Hebrew word for angel isn’t even mentioned in this verse as you would suggest. You stated"an angel representing Jehovah spoke to him" CDBJ |

Hello MAC702, I noticed that you haven’t filled out a personal profile on the forum yet. It makes it a lot easer to talk to someone when one knows exactly where he or she is coming from and where they stand. It also helps to know if a person might have a hidden agenda and thus a reason for answering the way they do on the forum. All those that have been on the forum for any length of time have filled one out and it sure makes it nice. You can click on the author of any post and get better understanding of the individual that you are posting to; please consider this. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Just what is it that you are trying to affirm??? You could have said Gen.1:1 to Rev. 22:21 and it would have made about as much sense! CDBJ |

585 | Will there be 2nd resurection | Ex 4:3 | CDBJ | 217420 | ||
Greetings rakpak, Here is one that is a mystery? The Bible states, Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: We know as believers in Christ that our sins where judged in Christ on the cross so the judgment for believers in Jesus will be one for rewards. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. CF 2 Cor. 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. The judgment seat is the Greek word BEMA seat, which is for rewards not condemnation. The question is this: Those that are born and trust, and believe in Jesus during the millennium will need to have a judgment seat, as it were, at some point in time; when will it be, since the only judgment spoken of after the millennium is the white throne judgment? Rev. 20:11-15 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Does scripture speak from silence, because the believers aren’t dead so they are in fact written in the book of life? Have fun, CDBJ |

586 | Bible against taking some else's offense | Ex 4:12 | CDBJ | 225476 | ||
Not everything posted on this forum can be assumed as from the Lord. Example: “How can a dead Bible take offense to someone's words?” From that statement some could assume that the Bible is dead, where just the opposite is in fact the case. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Where the Word of God, the Bible, is concerned it always stands in judgment of us, we never stand in judgment of it. 2 Tim. 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; CDBJ |

587 | Do altars belong in christian churches? | Ex 17:15 | CDBJ | 97900 | ||
Hi John, It would appear as though an alter in any church, is the contrivance of religion and not the norm of the early Christians. It actually has no biblical authenticity since the death of Christ on the cross was once for all! I doubt very much if alters were found in these places of assembly. Romans 16:5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ. 1 Cor. 16:19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. Jesus actually explained the situation of local assembly and he knew that there would be no need for an alter since he himself would be the final sacrificial lamb of God that would end the need for an alter. Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. A church could be anyplace where believers assemble to take in God’s Word. Acts 20:7-12 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. 8And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together. 9And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. 10And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. 11When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed. 12And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted. The pastors are exhorted to do as Paul told Timothy, and as I see it there is no need for an alter. 2 Tim. 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. I think the better term, for the forward portion of a church, would be a pulpit or a lectern, in true Bible believing born again Christian churches. CDBJ |

Hi John, When one has Christ, he is more then a majority. Col. 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Someone once said, “With God a wall is like a spiders web and a spiders web is like a wall”. Do you remember the story, when David was hiding in the cave? CDBJ |

Hi Tim, If an elevated platform wasn’t used by Paul, for the purpose of being heard, then how did Paul manage to walk down to where the boy feel, which was also down? Acts 20:10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. Elevated platforms were in use long before the days when Christ walked the earth, so that the orator could be seen as well as heard over the crowd. Many times a wax mask was placed over the face of a speaker in plays, on elevated stages, so that their play-acting mood could be conveyed visually to those off at a distance. Thus the word hypocrite, Greek, hupokrites, or speaking from behind the wax mask of deception. It was a theatrical term and known by most due to those speaking from an elevated stage. CDBJ |

590 | When did Christians start to use altars? | Ex 17:15 | CDBJ | 97929 | ||
Hi John, If we were to practice the ritual of communion as they did in the days of Christ, at the feast, we would first have to go through the foot washing ceremony! Reason being, someone’s stinky feet would be right next to our head because they all laid on very low couches or on the floor on pillows around the room. The depiction that most have of the Last Supper isn’t even close to the way that they use to celebrate feast in those days; they would all lay down in a semicircle so all could be seen and talked to directly. To my knowledge this is not a directive of Scripture but a common practice of the day. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi Tim, Interesting point. It is always cheaper to go up then out. It was more then likely a barn where hay was stored. I think they would cycle hay from one loft to the next depending on age; that way the were always assured of it’s freshness and using the oldest first. I wonder how many floors the tower of Babel had? CDBJ |

594 | Ten Commandments vs. Galatians | Ex 20:1 | CDBJ | 176392 | ||
Greetings Sqosh, You are right in your understanding about God’s rest, and don’t let those that haven’t experienced this rest yet dissuade you! Paul had too correct problems in his day with people that were pushing false works on those in Galatia so it’s bound to be prevalent now in our day. Galatians 1:6-7 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; [7] which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you, and want to distort the gospel of Christ. It seems as though people always want to do something to impress God. They like, as it were, too add a little bit of self to the equation. Again you have it right, Hebrews 4:3 (A) For we who have believed do enter that rest, Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings Friend, I believe you could really use your gift if you could sculpt a large open Bible with very clear lettering that shows the Book of John starting from the first chapter to the last and maybe a different colored stone that stood out with, John 3:36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." You could even show why John wrote the book with these verses. John 20:30-31 Many other signs therefore Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31but these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name. Nothing can convey what people need to know about God more then the Bible. Have you personally come to the place yet where God has revealed to you that you are assured of heaven and all of God’s glory? There are those of us that can say this, being included in the “us” of the following verse, are you one of them or would you like to be? 1 John 5:11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Now those are real fact that expresses excitement and it’s in the past tense. i.e. it’s a done deal, do you have that yet? Are you good enough to sculpt something like that? CDBJ |

Greetings, Since this is a Bible study forum and not a history forum what actual difference dose it make with regards to New Testament Scripture?

Hi red007 and welcome to the forum, I must admit, I don’t have the capacity to retain a thought for eight Months which is the time since I posted the message that you just answered. Check the dates on the far right side of the postings and you will see what I mean. Don’t let that slow you down though! Enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

600 | Abortion for medical reason ??????? | Ex 20:13 | CDBJ | 39762 | ||
There is a verse that you should consider which makes a lot of sense in your situation and that is to follow the sound mind principal. 2 Tim. 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. The Lord has blessed this nation with the best medical profession in the world. I think it would be wise and of sound mind to do as they suggest. I would thank the Lord for their advice and the fact that is so obvious a situation. This is my opinion and I wouldn't even think twice about it if it were my wife! I pry that the Lord will give you the same assurance in this situation. Much love in the Lord, CDBJ |
