281 | Why a 'burnt offering.' | Gen 22:2 | skccab | 203357 | ||
Shalom Thomas, Let me see if I can be a bit of help for you. 'Olah - burnt offering; the smoke is the key element; it's a personal, individual offering intended to allow the worshipper to approach God, gain peace with God, to feel that God had a favorable attitude toward the worshipper. this offering was also a gift/ransom to God. Minchah - grain offering; always performed behind the 'Olah, the two go together. The reasons for this offering are similar to the 'Olah: the smoke (in fact, olah means ascending), thought that the smoke brought pleasure to Yahoveh, it's a gift to God, meant to maintain peace with God, expresses thankfulness, dedication. This offering and the 'Olah dealt with man's nature rather than man's behavior. The Zevah offerings: also called peace offering, offering of well-being. Three types of Zevah offerings: Confession Offering, Free-Will Offering, Vow Offering. Zevah Sh'lamim - Vow Offering: worshipper makes a vow to God that if God helps in a thing the worshipper will do something for God. Zevah Todah - Confession Offering and Free-will Offering. Confession offering - worshipper seeks deliverance from an enemy or healing. Free-Will Offering - Totally different from Vow or Confession, worshipper not seeking anything from God, just a gesture of gratefulness and love. Hatta'at - the sin offering, purification offering. This one does deal with behavior, the unintentional, inadvertant sin Intended to restore worshipper's position with God. 'Asham - reparation offering, sins of omission offering. Intended to atone for inadvertant sins against God's sacred property. (Sins of omission would be like hearing about something and not telling and thereby maybe preventing a crime from happening or helping to convict or acquit an accused person.) This was also the offering used for "unknown" sins that one might have committed, it could calm the worshipper. (I'm not sure about this, but I think some Bible versions call this offering the "guilt offering.") Well, that about covers it, as far as my knowledge goes. Leaves much to be desired and a lot more to learn, but maybe this can get you started. Cheri |

282 | Heavenly or Earthly Messengers? | Gen 32:1 | skccab | 213930 | ||
Good morning Savannah, Thank you for the response. I think you may be right since there doesn't seem to be any further mention of these particular "messengers".... Have a great day! Cheri |

283 | Exodus 23:19, last part mostly | Exodus | skccab | 201303 | ||
Thanks so much brother-mine! Finding out that it was a pagan practice back then certainly does help explain why it is placed where it is - that was my problem with the statement, it's placement. The Bible is definitely a profound book but when it says that Moses climbed up a hill you can be pretty sure that MOSES CLIMBED UP A HILL, and when it says that Jesus sat and taught His disciples, it's a safe bet to repeat it, JESUS SAT AND TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLES, nothing less and nothing more. (There is certainly revelation knowledge, but I've found [at least for me anyway] that most of the revelation knowledge I've received has been for a particular period of time/or need - in other words, not something one would start a new teaching on.) That's why that verse threw me for a loop - I knew I was missing something. Thank you again, John :-) Cheri |

285 | God sought Moses to kill him | Ex 4:24 | skccab | 198408 | ||
Shalom budderfligh, Just thought I'd give you some info on Greg Koukl. I don't agree with everything he says, but he says it in such a way that I will usually at least take a second or third look at how I see things. He hosts a weekly radio call-in show which you can download or listen to on-line. It's quite an interesting show, actually, or at least on long, lonely midnight shifts it makes for a good listen. The website is called Stand to Reason, you can google it. Cheri |

287 | significance of 4 requests specifically | Ex 12:11 | skccab | 188031 | ||
Hi Jellybean and InGod, In Ex. 11:8 the Lord thru Moses says: And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger. It sounds like the Israelites would be "sent" out (to put it kindly) after the angel of death had gone thru the land, and that's why they were told to eat this first passover dressed ready to be on the move quickly. any other thoughts? blessings cheri |

288 | Murder vs Killing | Ex 20:1 | skccab | 212010 | ||
Dear Kamschoolgrad, You've got it pretty right on. I, too, have many disconcerting questions about things that we are supposed to do (or not do) but for one reason or another we don't or cannot. These, I just have to put down to Deut. 29:29 and figure we'll get the answers we need soon enough. Doesn't that sound like a horrible cop-out? But after much prayer and advice-seeking from pastors and rabbis that's the best I can do. And the best I can say is - observe to do what God commands in His glorious Torah to the best of your ability (and of what the law of your land allows you to observe and do) - and that is ALL that you can do with a good conscience. And, remember, that thru Messiah's finished work on the cross, we are not BOUND to or UNDER the curse of not observing all the Law, but we are FREE to receive the blessings of observing the commands of the Lord. Hallelujah!! Praise God for His Mercies endure forever. Amen? Amen!!! Sorry I couldn't be of MORE help. Cheri |

289 | Must Christians keep the Sabbath today? | Ex 20:8 | skccab | 193341 | ||
God's day to you xcaret, I agree with you that Shabbot is the day that sets apart the nation of Israel (original and grafted-in) but WOS is absolutely right in bringing to your remembrance "that where there are two or three" gathered in His name, there He is in the midst of them - on Monday or Wednesday, and, yes, even on Sunday! Please, don't take G-d's Word and beat your brethren up with it! Our G-d is One of love and patience and understanding - I think He'd sooner we all worship him at 3pm on Thursday than we get into strife over it :-). Remember He is our Sar Shalom Cheri |

290 | Can one who commits suicide be saved? | Ex 20:13 | skccab | 186718 | ||
HeirofGod, Here is the scripture that describes the unforgiveable sin, and it is not suicide: Mat 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. Mat 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. cheri |

292 | Personal rights predating government | Ex 22:2 | skccab | 199081 | ||
Shalom Doc, You're absolutely right, those "laws" did pre-date Moses - I probably have the spelling wrong but it is(was) called the Hammurabi Code. (There are some differences between the two laws, though.) Anti-Bible people tend to use that to try to take away the divine inspiration of the Bible. (This is all I know about it :-) ). Cheri |

293 | Personal rights predating government | Ex 22:2 | skccab | 199108 | ||
Evening Doc, Yes, I knew you were talking mostly about the inner "knowing" that Paul talks about in Romans, but I thought you were also alluding to the Hammurabi Code that was written prior to the Mosaic Law. Anyway, me foot don't taste tooo awful :-). Cheri |

Thank you, Rabban, You hit it pretty much the way I was looking at it. Just kinda wanted a thumbs up :-) that I was on the right track as I continue in it later tonight. Much appreciated Cheri |

296 | Colors - Tabernacle/High Priest | Ex 25:3 | skccab | 191677 | ||
Hi Doc, I did not ask guidance from any "authority" - you dear folks are all just studiers and learners like me (just WAY further along :-) ). Rabban, by his simple answer, let me know I was heading in the right direction - not over nor under spiritializing the significance of the reversal. I have the e-Sword software and all the wonderful commentaries available in it BUT sometimes so much is said about a particular verse(s) that by the time I'm finished reading all the comments, I've forgotten exactly why I was reading them!! Sorry, getting brain-dead I guess, or does anyone else get lost in them? Cheri |

297 | What caused two of Aarons sons to die. | Lev 10:2 | skccab | 212840 | ||
Greetings MJH You did just fine without spell check!! First of all, let me thank you for your explanation of your previous post (I'm a Sabbath person :o) ). I just wanted to add to this subject my 2cents - Lev. 10:1 says that Nadab and Abihu took fire and incense (which appears to be fire and incense from somewhere other than the God-ordained altars) and my Bible reads that "each took his censor" which leads me to believe that possibly the censors were their own to be used in their homes, again a thing that God did not tell them to do. Mostly, though, look at verses 8-11 - it appears that these men went before the Lord in a drunken state....??? It's not so much that they got drunk, it's that they got drunk and then went before the Lord to do service to Him of their own accord. So it looks like they missed it big time - unholy fire, unholy incense, unholy utensils, and unholy behaviour. You think? :o) Cheri |

298 | What caused two of Aarons sons to die. | Lev 10:2 | skccab | 212846 | ||
MJH, Yeah, it gets me into trouble too. But that's OK. It keeps the God-given mind active and alive, open to possibilities (and also teaches gobs of humility when you get it wrong). :o) Cheri |

299 | Wearing the clothes of the Priests? | Lev 19:19 | skccab | 193442 | ||
Howdy Doc, Ezek. 43:18-27 Many say this "prince" is Yeshua in the future temple. I don't have an opinion yet either way - but I do take notice of the fact that there is NO lamb offering being cited. Ezek. 44:1-31 These verses do have much to say about the clothing of the priests (of whom Yeshua is the High Priest). What have you learned about these scenes, Doc? You always have good answers, and I haven't gotten as far as Ezek. in my studies yet. But I don't think I believe that all these chapters are about an imaginary Temple, and because there is no LAMB sacrifice, I think this Temple is a future temple, in the millennium? in Heaven? I'm wanting to know. Shalom Cheri |

300 | Wearing the clothes of the Priests? | Lev 19:19 | skccab | 193456 | ||
Afternoon, Doc, Thank you, Doc, for answering so quickly. I'm doing an in-depth study of Hebrews and it took me to Ezekiel's temple. This time, I noticed for the first time that the yom kippur sacrifice is noticeably NOT cited among the sacrifices that are mentioned and thought that very interesting (and must be meaningful). I guess if Charles Spurgeon doesn't know what it means, and you don't know what it means - then I'm in very good company :-). Shalom Cheri P.S. I'm not sure what the "doctrine" or "theology" of dispensationalism is, but if it's what I think it is, I don't buy into it either. I used to own a Dake's Annotated and I kinda get the picture of God scratching His head going, "Oops, I didn't see that one coming, let's see what I can do to fix this and get things back on track." (I over-simplified it a bit, I know.) Our God doesn't change. And again: After I'd posted this morning, I read that you had had some surgery. It sounds like you are well on your way to a remarkable recovery!! This is a good report. I will continue to lift you up in my prayers. You are much loved and appreciated, my brother. |
