601 | Is there a prophet in the last days? | OT general | Hank | 30721 | ||
Kid-data: The general interpretation of this passage (Malachi 4) is that God did send a prophet in the "last days" -- and his name was John the Baptist, a type of the prophet Elijah (see Luke 1:17). The term "last days" in the Bible can refer to any date between the annunciation of Jesus' birth to the second coming of our Lord Jesus. Welcome aboard! --Hank | ||||||
602 | dinasaurs? did they exist? | OT general | Hank | 38635 | ||
Dear Strongfellow, your terminology with which you describe yourself is new to me, but I think I rather like it! "A hard-core Christian" eh? Meaning, I suppose, a Christian through and through, right down to the very core of your being? Praise be to God, may you ever be just that!.... Your appetite to learn more about those intriguing creatures, the dinosaurs, possibly may be assuaged in good measure and from a decidedly Christian perspective by going to www.icr.org -- 'icr' refers to Institute for Creation Research, a not-for-profit organization based in California. I am personally acquainted with its president, Dr. John Morris, and can recommend without equivocation what this organization promotes and teaches. A hearty welcome to you and may God increase your zeal and knowledge of His word as you continue your walk in the path of the Savior. --Hank | ||||||
603 | What is the book of Joshua about? | OT general | Hank | 47418 | ||
Without intent to be impolite or brusque, I would suggest that the best antidote to a lack of knowledge about the book of Joshua is to read the book of Joshua. --Hank | ||||||
604 | Genesis1:27 and 2:18, Wife 1 and 2 ? | OT general | Hank | 48538 | ||
Mariad, there was one creation, one Adam, one Eve. There is one creaton account in Genesis 1 and 2, the second narrative being a continuation of and an expansion on the first. There is no disharmony or contradiction between the first part of the narrative and the second. This Lillith fable is sheer nonsense, having no foundation in Scripture or anywhere else. --Hank | ||||||
605 | What is the right amount to tithe. | OT general | Hank | 53871 | ||
teeboyman, hello. Actually the phrase "tithe ten per cent" is redundant. Here's why: Our English word "tithe" has its etymology in the Old English word "teogatha" which became "tithen" in Middle English, and both mean "tenth." So therefore any variance from a tenth is not tithing at all. But now, you ask whether this tithe should come off the top, i.e., be reckoned on the basis of one's gross income before taxation, or on the net income. One could take the view that only the "take-home" pay is to be considered, because he never comes into possession of the gross. On the other hand, one could argue that the tithe should be reckoned on the gross income, because the taxpayer does receive for his taxes certain benefits, e.g., military and police protection, roads, parks, and a number of other governmental services, and thus taxes should not be exempt from the tithe. In any event, I believe that the decision about tithing, as with any other major decision in our lives, should not be made haphazardly or arbitrarily, but should come after careful thought and much prayer. --Hank | ||||||
606 | what two chapter are exactly alike | OT general | Hank | 53947 | ||
The two chapters of the Bible that give you the old 'deja vu' feeling are 2 Kings 19 and Isaiah 37. --Hank | ||||||
607 | Is the concept of soul ties Christian? | OT general | Hank | 63187 | ||
Dear Lucky Charm: My "soul tie" with my wife is now in its 44th year. I read some of the opinion and comment on the web site you referenced and came away with this thought in mind: The wisdom of God pertaining to "soul ties" (a term I don't particularly relish) is as follows: "The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man said, 'This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.' For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh." [Genesis 2:22-24]. As for other relationships in life (soul ties, if you will), Jesus commands us to love our neighbor as we do ourselves. That's rather close bonding, or "soul ties" don't you think? God's wisdom on human relationships is far superior to and infinitely more authorative and trustworthy than anything I read on the "Courtship connection" web site! --Hank | ||||||
608 | Can some "soul ties" be harmful? | OT general | Hank | 63194 | ||
Cheryl, please permit me to use the word "relationships" instead of "soul ties." And, yes, certainly some relationships can be unhealthful and damaging, I don't doubt that at all. In my upbringing my parents were very zealous to guard me against forming close associations with unsavory characters! "You're judged by the company you keep" was a motto they drilled into my head over and over. This is not to say that Christians should avoid going into the highways and hedges of life, rich and poor, upscale and skid row, to carry the message of the Gospel. After all, Jesus did that. But still and all, I believe that young people, whose minds are so malleable and who are so impressionable, should pick for close friends those of high moral and ethical standands and those who have high regard for God and His word. --Hank | ||||||
609 | Drawing the line? | OT general | Hank | 63201 | ||
Cheryl: Sorry, but I must confess that your description is too abstract for me. I'm not quite sure of what you mean by "telling the difference between a Christ-like agape turn-the-other-cheek type love, and one that is purely dysfunctional, crippling our spirit and our effectiveness for ministry." Perhaps you could be more specific and concrete, and perhaps give some examples to illustrate what you are saying. But please be careful not to reveal personal details or disclose private information. That is not advisable on a public forum on the net. --Hank | ||||||
610 | Caught in a sticky web.... | OT general | Hank | 63208 | ||
Cheryl: You're corresponding with no psychologist! I took a course in psychology in college but didn't learn enough about it even to be dangerous :-) In my career as a insurance sales manager, the most agonizing experiences where the times when I had to make the decision to let an employee go. I suppose that in some sense it could be viewed as a "toxic" relationship. In private life, and certainly in my marriage, I've never really had what I would call a toxic relationship, although there have been persons whose company I've avoided like the plague for various reasons. But I believe it is possible to love our fellow human beings and to be willing to help those who are in need as Christ would have us do without allowing ourselves to become so vulnerable to their negative influence on our lives that it drains us mentally and emotionally. This is not a healthy situation, and I do not for a moment believe that Christians are required to subject themselves to it. I could be very wrong, but what you describe sounds very much like co-dependence, and that's something that is not desirable. Living a Christian life, telling others about Jesus, and being the best example that one can of the changed life that Jesus can bring about in a human being -- these things are the goals for which I aim. But I try to avoid to the best of my ability the bad emotional entanglements, the "toxic" relationships, the undesirable "soul ties" that have the capacity to lead me off course and to thwart what efforts I exert to be, in some small measure, an effective Christian. I yield now to other, wiser Christian brothers and sisters of the forum who may well have more light than I to shed on this subject. --Hank | ||||||

616 | if i get a christain tattoo is it sin? | OT general | Hank | 92874 | ||
A Christian tattoo? What's that? It makes even less sense than a "Honk if you love Jesus" bumper sticker. The Bible reveals a thousand ways by which God's children can glorify Him. Tattoos and bumper stickers are not on the list. --Hank | ||||||
617 | people before Adam and Eve?? yes or no | OT general | Hank | 111361 | ||
Check out Genesis 1:22 in modern translations; they use "fill" not "replenish." Refer to a good English dictionary to discover that "to replenish" means "to fill" as well as "to fill again." It had still another meaning (now obsolete) in the days when the KJV was translated, which was "to supply fully; to perfect." But the sense in which the KJV uses "replenish" never meant refill or replace a race of people who lived before Adam; Scripture gives no indication whatever that there were human beings on earth before Adam. Therefore, neither this passage, Genesis 1:22 nor any other biblical passage supports the premise for pre-adamic human life on earth. --Hank | ||||||
618 | were did giants come from? | OT general | Hank | 122432 | ||
Brother Mike: Giants are mentioned in several passages of Scripture. There were the Nephilim, the giants before the flood (Genesis 6:4). Giants inhabited Canaan (Deut. 2:10,11,19,20). Spies sent out by Moses discouraged the people by stories of finding giants in the land of Canaan (Numbers 13:33; Deut. 1:28) Several giants were slain by David and his servants (1 Sam. 17; 2 Sam. 21:16; 1 Chron. 20:4). These are the Bible references to giants; they may not answer your question fully. --Hank | ||||||
