Michael, The first time I saw our Sefer Torah up close and opened - I can't tell you what it felt like, looking at the exact copy of what Yeshua read from!! Nothing changed, not one yod out of place, it was awe-inspiring. I've begun Hebrew classes and just can't wait to do aliyah and carry the scroll for the procession and then read from it. That's gonna be soooo amazing!! (I figure in about 2-3 years hahahaha. I'm a slow learner.) Shalom Cheri |

Michael, I just recently found out that Sefer Torahs are done by hand with a quill pen, and just the books of Moses can take 18 months to do and run at the least expensive about 1900 dollars. Sefer means counter - they actually physically count every letter to make sure it is absolutely perfect. If the page isn't, they totally re-do the whole page (even 2 letters touching each other disqualifies it!!). A Haftorah scroll is larger, so would probably cost a lot more. Even purchasing a repaired scroll is a major investment. But wouldn't it be wonderful to have one?? (And depending how old the repaired scroll is, and where it is from, it can run as much as 30,000 dollars or more.) Shalom Cheri |

545 | God allowing things in our lives | 2 Tim 3:16 | skccab | 193958 | ||
Greetings John, Note taken, and thank you. I'm not in disagreement that it NEVER happens. I just don't buy that EVERY time - it's due to God trying to teach a lesson. I think that there has been a case of semantics getting in the way. I'm fully aware and in agreement that our God is Sovereign at all times. There's no argument there at all. I think possibly I was misunderstanding Doc as saying "ALL" and he (and you) misunderstood me as saying "NEVER." I do not believe that He NEVER will use deadly means to teach a lesson - I just don't believe that ALL sickness, disease, etc. come from Him to "teach a lesson." I do believe that these things do happen with His knowledge and (I dislike this term, but) approval, but often they happen just because we are in this cursed world. So, in short, I don't believe that the Father is the author of EVERY bad and deadly thing that happens to us, but neither do I believe that He is NEVER the author of them either. Please note the operative word "author." (After all, if He had absolutely nothing to do with any of the bad [or good] things then that would have to mean He was not aware or didn't care - and we know He is and does.) I'm having a great deal of difficulty with the right words, but I hope I have cleared up any misunderstandings. If not, I can try again. :-) Shalom Cheri |

Doc, Quote / the implications of a God either unwilling or unable to exercise life and death is frightening... no, horrifying. I never said such a thing!! And if you think that I did then you misunderstood me or I wasn't clear. What I said is that I don't believe that God would put something deadly on a person to teach a lesson or get their attention. But I will state that the other poster that made the statements about doctors and medicine would have to be closer to being correct if we see every sickness and disease that comes upon us as being from God to teach us a lesson. What do we say about all the people in the Gospels whom Yeahua "unblessed" by healing them? (It's not that He cannot, I just don't think that He does.) Both of my mothers died of cancer (I'm adopted and know my natural family). The one - I don't know if she was a believer, but the one that raised me was a godly, born-again lady. The surgery that gave her another 5years of life according to you, would have been going against the will of God? The 5 years of remission then was of the adversary and not of God because He gave her the cancer? I don't see where we can have it both ways. Either God gave us brilliant men and women of medicine to fight the curse that came into the world at Adam's fall - or He puts it all on us and the knowledge we've gained in medicine is of the devil and we should just "sit back and get our lesson and hope we get better?" That just doesn't fit into the "abundant life" and "joy more fully" that is a promise to us. I'm very sorry to hear about your father, Doc, I will be praying for you and for him. Let's leave this conversation for now. I love you dearly, and am blessed to have such a wise brother looking out for me sometimes, but here I think we've hit a brick wall, or my feet are stuck in drying cement. much love and prayers for you and yours Cheri |

Doc, I'm not arguing a bit about discipline, chastisement and the such. (As I stated before, I see God as Father holding a much higher standard for His own than God as Judge over those that do not know Him.) Once again, as long as we are in this world we are subject to the world's woes, some of those woes being sickness, disease, murder, rape. Where my problem is arising is in the thought that my Father would put something on me (or anyone else) to "teach a lesson,' that could ultimately (and probably would) kill me. What good would the "lesson" then be if I were dead? It's a bit of a stretch but I can grudgingly agree that He might "bless" me (as you would say :-) ) with a bad cold, or flu, so that I might slow down for a few days and maybe pay attention to what He's trying to tell me, but I just cannot see Him slapping something on one of His children that is gonna kill them. (Given, of course, that that's not His ultimate motive in the first place!) I guess we're just gonna have to agree to disagree on this point. But one thing I promise, when I get to heaven and Abba tells me you were right all along, I will find you and apologize :-). Shalom Cheri |

Hey Doc, CORRECTION was trying to multi-task, the scripture is Mat. 7:9-11, my left-handedness was at work!! Cheri |

But, Doc, if you die from that (which in itself isn't a bad thing ;-) ), but then you couldn't be conformed here on earth for others to see and give glory to God - which is where His glory needs to be seen. So what purpose would it serve? There is affliction and then there is that which kills. I just can't see the Father doing that which kills to His children. I do understand the Judge and Father differentitation (the Father actually holds a much higher standard than the Judge). Once again, I just can't see that which kills coming from the Father to teach a lesson. I liked Watson and Hendryx especially. I will rethink my position. I can agree in many areas but there are some that just ring too harsh according to Matt. 9:7-11 and James 1:17. still learning Cheri |

Gye, Thank you. I do agree that the Father can and does get involved with His children in ways that to us seem to be not "good." A failing business, to cause that child to re-think what he/she's doing, maybe the purchase of a much-wanted home seems to be getting thwarted, to cause that child to re-think what he/she's doing, not getting the promotion so eagerly sought, etc. But I don't think the Father would put something as horrible as cancer or aids on His child to teach a lesson. Neither do I think that the person who has cancer or aids or any of those horrible diseases is a person out of God's will or unsaved or being punished. We may not be of the world but we are in it and therefore subject to the bad things that are here. And like you cited in 2 Cor. 12, if we give it to Him it can all be used to His glory!! And in Him we are MORE than conquerors! Cheri |

Hi Doc, Maybe I've read the book wrong, but I see Job as a man who has lost sight of the true worship of God and fallen into self-righteous conceits. Would that not in itself open him up to the fiery arrows of the adversary? And also, it seems that it is the adversary doing all the bad deeds. God is just not stopping it. It's a hard book to understand, have I totally misunderstood it? still learning Cheri |

May I use a picture that I was taught many years ago? It's a picture of a game reserve: in the very center (near the Throne) we are very protected (not completely as we are still in the world, and the world will always have troubles), as we move away from the center of protection (walking more in our own ways) we become more vulnerable to the worlds woes and the adversary. As we move further away, we eventually will cross that invisible line where there is no protection (for we are now totally out of the will of the Father) and the adversary can legally attempt to harm us. It's a worldly type picture, I know, but one that rang true and has helped me understand when things start going terribly wrong that I'm getting way too far away from God's protective wings that He wants so for us to stay under. I pray this helps you Cheri |

Hi Anne, I've finally got to say something!! You asked - Did they remember Mk 1:14-15? - I would have to say probably NO!! They didn't have the NT!! The scriptures they had was the Torah. You said - In Mt 28:19 we read about the Name. Read Rev 19. His Name is The Word of God. - His name is the unspeakable name, the one Yeshua used to identify Himself, that no one but the High Priest should have known. That's what caused the uproar - that He equated Himself with TheName (Jn. 8:58). Shalom Cheri |

557 | disciples only baptized not Jesus | John 3:26 | skccab | 193800 | ||
Morning Doc, Once again, I find myself in good company cos I've read and re-read the second, also...:-) Thank you for your input. I have had no problem with the mikvah that Yeshua partook, but when this thread started up it made me wonder about all the other baptisms at that time. I will now thank everyone who responded :-). Your thoughts and your work to answer is always much appreciated. Have a blessed day, everyone Cheri |

558 | disciples only baptized not Jesus | John 3:26 | skccab | 193761 | ||
Doc, Were these disciples baptizing also in the name of the Holy Ghost (as He had not been given yet)? Or would you say that these baptisms were also just unto repentance, as John's? I hadn't thought about this before. Shalom Cheri |

560 | Johns baptism? | Acts 13:24 | skccab | 193719 | ||
Hello Lionheart, I've heard that John's baptism was indeed unto repentance, but not unto salvation. He was performing what was/is known as a mikvah. It was performed back then and today by Jews as a cleansing and a renewal during a life-change - such as the bar/bat mitzvah (coming of age), getting married, changing careers, moving to a new city, etc. It represents the cleansing of the old and coming up out of the water fresh, ready to face the new. When I learned about this, it answered the question as to why Yeshua went into the water before John, cos He certainly didn't need repentance - but He was beginning His public ministry at that time. Shalom Cheri |
