381 | Why God did not accept Cain's offering | Gen 47:1 | srbaegon | 183879 | ||
Hello San Lukas, I have looked at the website and read the Statement of Faith. The material shows a disregard for good Bible study principles, and I would kindly recommend that you avoid it. Steve |

382 | Praise the Lord! | Exodus | srbaegon | 67818 | ||
Hello Sister Several of us (Hank included) hold ourselves to a high standard in this forum. We do so because we feel Lockman Foundation's intent was to ensure Biblical responses. By giving the Scripture proofs (at least the references), we can hold to that. We are quite cautious of those who don't use Scripture because of past dealings with those who had personal unbiblical agendas. Steve |

383 | God has a backside or is it His anger? | Exodus | srbaegon | 204057 | ||
Hi Tamara, That's an interesting thought. We usual think of the spiritual as being without circumscribed points relative to the object--just sort of "there." Something for me to chew on. Steve |

384 | Was the OT God of Moses merely an angel? | Ex 3:2 | srbaegon | 132771 | ||
Hello Reighnskye, The Father and Son are distinct persons but each is the only true God. That's what Scripture teaches. As for your original question, look at Judges 6:11-23. The angel of the Lord appears to Gideon. At the beginning, Gideon doesn't know who this is. Later he calls the angel Jehovah--identifying him as God. You wrote: "It is my personal impression that the Father was worshipped through Michael the archangel (or angels) just as we worship the Father through Jesus Christ. We have a new mediator in Christ." Don't make such claims without a Scriptural basis. Steve |

385 | Was the OT God of Moses merely an angel? | Ex 3:2 | srbaegon | 132987 | ||
Hello Reighnskye, The most straightforward answer to your question is that Gideon realized that the Angel of the Lord was indeed God. This notion is offensive because it runs contradictory to God's dealings. Moses was given plans for a tabernacle by God as a dwelling place for God. That tells me that he desires to live amongst his people in communion. Also God's original intent was for Israel to be a nation of priests (Exod 19:6). Priests represent men to God. It doesn't make sense to have an angel to be an additional intermediary. Steve |

386 | "Jehovah Rophe - our Lord and Healer"??? | Ex 15:26 | srbaegon | 29018 | ||
Correction................................. You said "He is the Son of Man but also the Holy Spirit, God with us." That's not quite correct. Jesus Christ is not the Holy Spirit inasmuch as neither of them is the Father. Steve |
||||||
387 | "Jehovah Rophe - our Lord and Healer"??? | Ex 15:26 | srbaegon | 29045 | ||
Partial agreement..................... I understand, now, how you were using "Spirit." There is no disagreement that "God is spirit," however I would still shy away from using it the way you have for fear of confusion (mine being a case in point). Lastly, let's not blaspheme either direction. :-) We'll both stay on a better path. Steve |

388 | why isn't the fourth commandment kept? | Ex 20:8 | srbaegon | 119433 | ||
Hello gbuddy50, The quick answer is that there is no way to impose Judeo-Christian norms on a pagan society. And from a Christian perspective, there is no longer a command to keep the Sabbath. We are free from the Law (Gal 3:23-26; Col 2:16-17). Steve |

389 | Are we free from KEEPING the Law? | Ex 20:8 | srbaegon | 119543 | ||
Hello Searcher, The book of Galatians was written by those who were trying to be both justified and sanctified by the Law. My comments stand as given. Steve |

390 | why isn't the fourth commandment kept? | Ex 20:8 | srbaegon | 119629 | ||
Hello kalos, Once again I've been grossly misunderstood. I agre fully with Paul: Romans 6:15 (ESV) What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! I'm not advocating a life of sin. I'm advocating freedom in Christ. Again from Paul: Romans 7:4,6 (ESV) Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. ...[6] But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve not under the old written code but in the new life of the Spirit. Steve |

391 | Are we free from KEEPING the Law? | Ex 20:8 | srbaegon | 119632 | ||
Hello Searcher, Galatians 5:18 (ESV) But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Steve |

Hello kalos, Thank you for clearing this up. Steve |

393 | Luther on the Sabbath Commandment | Ex 20:8 | srbaegon | 235304 | ||
This commandment, therefore, according to its literal sense, does not concern us Christians; for it is altogether an external matter, like other ordinances of the Old Testament, which were attached to particular customs, persons, times, and places, and now have been made free through Christ. But to grasp a Christian meaning for the simple as to what God requires in this commandment, note that we keep holy days not for the sake of intelligent and learned Christians (for they have no need of it), but first of all for bodily causes and necessities, which nature teaches and requires; for the common people, man-servants and maid-servants, who have been attending to their work and trade the whole week, that for a day they may retire in order to rest and be refreshed. Secondly, and most especially, that on such day of rest (since we can get no other opportunity) freedom and time be taken to attend divine service, so that we come together to hear and treat of God's Word, and then to praise God, to sing and pray. Luther's Large Catechism, 82-84 |

Hello Ocelot, I think the site is a prime source of non sequiter, red herring, straw man, and eisegesis. Steve |

395 | Was Dinosaur elder than Adam by 3 days? | Ex 20:13 | srbaegon | 40661 | ||
Hello wang I was confused about the history of dinosaurs as well until I read Job 40:16-41:34 which describes two creatures that could not be anything but dinosaurs. And they were living when Job was alive! A good source for information is www.icr.org. Steve |

396 | Will suicide condem my soul to hell? | Ex 20:13 | srbaegon | 208140 | ||
Hello s-o-g, You have a novel understanding of Scripture. There are several examples of Old Testament saints who succumbed to their bleak circumstances--Naomi called herself "Bitter"; Job lamented his birth; Baruch had grown weary of his groaning; Elijah wanted to die. True believers do fall prey to their circumstances. It happens. Steve |

397 | Does love or hate sinners? matt 5:43-48 | Ex 23:22 | srbaegon | 46566 | ||
Hello Giam Yes, God loves sinners, as shown by these two verses. John 3:16 (ESV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Romans 5:8 (ESV) but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. On the other hand He hates evil deeds and those who reject His love. Proverbs 6:16-19 (ESV) There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: [17] haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, [18] a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, [19] a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. John 3:36 (ESV) Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. Steve |

398 | why did god choose levites | Ex 32:29 | srbaegon | 206529 | ||
Jacob was referring back to Genesis 34 where they killed the men of Shechem, using that to bless in the manner of the lives they would live. So the answer to your question is yes and no. An interesting side note to this is that the tribe of Levi was exempt from all military service, but they were the defenders of the tabernacle/temple. Steve |

Actually, I've seen a 3rd option in print as editorials in Uplook magazine. Here are the URLs. http://www.gospelcom.net/uplook/magazine_uplook/viewarticle.phtml?id[equals]103 http://www.gospelcom.net/uplook/magazine_uplook/viewarticle.phtml?id[equals]118 Where you see [equals], put the equals sign (no spaces).
