61 | Chronology of creation? | Gen 1:1 | glory777 | 9303 | ||
I believe that sometimes we get too serious. I think there are many times that God is laughing (maybe at our efforts to categorize and figure Him out?) and wants us to have some fun too. Bible study and sharing should have an element of laughter once in a while. Thank you. I wish I could have thought of the line, but it was Pastor Laurie that said it. Peace and Joy- Debbie |

62 | The bible is a work of fiction - discuss | Gen 1:1 | glory777 | 15542 | ||
I agree, Sir- If they are genuinely on a quest, there are ample threads dealing with most questions. If there are still questions, then let them post. But when a person comes on out of "pity" for those of us who know the Lord God and know of all His blessings, I would call it an antogonistic post. There is no opening for honest discussion. In Christ - there is no other Way- Debbie |

63 | How old is the earth scripturally? | Gen 1:1 | glory777 | 19396 | ||
Phillip You know, it is a good thing you can take what God says as literal so often. Otherwise, Jesus could have been in the tomb for centuries, and, in my few years on this earth, I would still be working nonstop because it would still be Monday! And do you know how bad Jonah would have smelled by now being in the belly of a big fish all this time? If you can accept timeframes for all of these, why is it so hard to believe in the time frame for God's creation as shown in Genesis? Break down part of the Word, and you start to erode it all. Keep your faith, my friend. I would, and have, suggested people visit ICR.org to get more information on the truths of Genesis. They are scientist who are Christians first and start their investigations based on the theory that God's word is true - not that evolution is true, and how can we adjust God's word to it. Bless you- Debbie |

64 | Adam and Eve, no fall from grace? | Gen 2:16 | glory777 | 31719 | ||
Lionstrong- This may cause more questions, but when God created Adam, didn't He make them in His image? Does God need grace? No, after the fall, that is when man needed grace. Prior to that, I agree, grace was not needed. Am I wrong? Grace is not bestowed if there is no need for it. And thank God He bestows it so generously to us who do! Blessings- Debbie |

65 | How did Adam sin if he did KNOW sin. | Gen 2:17 | glory777 | 15041 | ||
Psalm16- They did realize they were doing wrong. They were given a choice, just as Lucifer was given a choice. God told them not to eat of the fruit and they chose to disobey Him. True, Eve was bequiled, caused to question but when she knew that the serpent was offering opposition to what God required, she knew it was wrong. Then she offered the fruit to Adam, who again had been told by God not to eat, and he gave over His obedience to God to following what Eve offered. Satan then became the dominant force to contend with. Instead of holy love and sex the way God intended it, lust came into the picture. Where before the body was pure and holy, it became a thing to be hidden. But I think it went even farther than that. Not only were the physical bodies covered up, but I would put forth the conjecture that their emotions and thoughts toward each other also became hidden. But the same things that caused Eve to sin and Adam to follow are still the things that Satan uses to get us to sin today. Lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and lust for power. Debbie |

66 | Forty word limit?!?!? | Gen 5:13 | glory777 | 13385 | ||
Hi Norrie- I think that is the ampersand (sp). I DO like the idea of the spell check. I no that in sum things it does knot help, though! Debbie |
||||||
67 | Forty word limit?!?!? | Gen 5:13 | glory777 | 13425 | ||
Didn't know it was spelled incorrectly! Boy, do we need a spell check! Love in Christ, Debbie |

68 | Eating meat with blood in it: Gen. 9:4 | Gen 9:4 | glory777 | 111860 | ||
Thanks, EdB- After that discourse, I know much more than I ever wanted to know! I think I am going to have my salad, now - and from now on! glory777 |
||||||
69 | God's of Egypt relate to plagues? | Exodus | glory777 | 11575 | ||
prayon- I think it is just like God to totally show Himself supreme over any of their so-called gods by showing He had power over the lesser of their gods all the way to the one they considered the most powerful. He is a God of order and will leave no doubt about who He is. Debbie |
||||||
70 | Was Moses and Aaron's request reasonable | Exodus | glory777 | 19119 | ||
After checking into this a little further, I found that cows were held as sacred to the Egyptians and it would have been an affront to them to have a cow sacrificed. Debbie |
||||||
71 | Historical Christian Stance on Slavery? | Exodus | glory777 | 59901 | ||
Vanessa- I am no expert, but I think there were slaves in every people group and religion. When you read the book of Philemon, paul was writing about Onisimus who was a slave. He also addresses in other books how "masters" are to treat slaves and how slaves are to treat their masters. These are Christians he was writing to. By the way, what do they think our stand on slavery is? Debbie |

72 | Magicians, frogs, blood? | Ex 8:7 | glory777 | 21290 | ||
Greetings and blessings to you, VillaSanJuan! It is not an easy journey, following Jesus, but well worth it. Tim, I think I also agree with Ed that it could have had a lot to do with Satan wanting to eliminate the Jews and so empowered the magicians. He knew Jesus would be born of the Jews and all through history he tried to stop that from happening, from Herod killing the baby boys, through Jesus' temptation up to His death. If he could keep Pharoah from letting the Israelites go, all of the future would have been changed. Good possibility, don't you think? Debbie |

73 | Will keeping Law yield eternal life? | Lev 18:5 | glory777 | 11625 | ||
I guess I did not make my answer understandable. Yes, it always was by faith. But when the Lord gave Moses the Law, the people were expected to try to live by it. They could not say "I have faith so I don't have to do what the law says." That would be the same as saying "I don't care what God says" and so verifies their love and respect for the Lord was not there. And as Rom. 3:20 states, the law made them aware of how sinful they were, which should bring them to a greater awareness of how they would have to depend on God's mercy and faithfulness (faith). So, keeping the law, for the right motive (faith and love for the Lord)would gain them eternal law. Keeping the law, for appearance sake or just because that was what a good jew did, gained them nothing. It all boils down to faith. | ||||||
74 | Acts of God | Deut 3:24 | glory777 | 11571 | ||
Nolan- I guess I meant more like tornados, floods, etc. |
||||||
75 | I'd like know about Jabes | 1 Chronicles | glory777 | 13323 | ||
angel-girl- I, too, have the book. The only thing I have against it is that it could just become a ritualized prayer. It is not a good luck saying, or something to say "Hey God, I said it for 30 days, now bless me". I think some people might go off on this tangent. I do agree with Hank, it is an example of how people can rise above what they were born into through prayer and God's blessings. The one thing that stood out to me, and could be compared to today, is that if he was the only one mentioned in that way, what were all the others doing? Christ's peace to you Debbie |

76 | God's people's land? | 2 Chr 7:14 | glory777 | 17537 | ||
I've got to stir the pot a little. I see the part that says "called by my Name". I think God knew that we were going to take the name of "Christian". I think that means WE are called by His name. If we, as His people through Christ, do what He says, we will receive the promises He gives us. Debbie |
||||||
77 | Is the KJV "Supreme"? | Ps 12:6 | glory777 | 11865 | ||
I agree, Hank. The first time I read the NIV (the first translation I read after reading King James) it was like opening my eyes to the Bible all over again. But I still like to go back to the King James once in a while. The language is beautiful, especially the Psalms. But for someone who is just beginning to read the Bible - no way. Debbie |
||||||
78 | When do we become sinners? | Ps 51:5 | glory777 | 12289 | ||
I'm just throwing this in. I too believe that Christ's blood covers the sins of the small children. I do know that when David's son died, he mourned and made the comment about expecting to see him in Heaven. And I do know that, although Jesus rebuked and made a point about other people's sins, He never rebuked the children, but loved to have them by Him. They did not need to be forgiven, baptized, or even to understand who He was. He just wanted them near Him. I don't think He is any different now. Debbie |

79 | Verse Proving Devils Cant Hear Thoughts? | Ps 94:11 | glory777 | 62774 | ||
Mommapbs- Good reasoning. Because he has been around since before the creation of man, he is an expert at reading body language. He (Satan) can't be everywhere at once, but he can have those under him assigned to watch over and become expert in reading what we are doing. Could seem like he is reading our thoughts. He sure knows where to turn the screws! God bless- Debbie |
||||||
80 | Satan can't read minds | Jeremiah | glory777 | 23295 | ||
I don't believe the bible says Satan can read our minds, but he has been a student of the human race since its creation and knows our weaknesses and where to put the punch. God forgives and then forgets our sins when we repent. Satan will use anything he can to torment us, if he can get by with it. So, although it may appear he can read our minds, he is just using the same tricks he has used throughout the generations of man. Debbie |
