183 | Why mercy seat? | Ex 25:18 | Lionstrong | 26336 | ||
Dear Prayon, A preacher of the Gospel could really go to town with a question like yours! But I'll just give you the biblical data. The literal meaning in both the OT and NT (Heb 9:5) is propitiatory. Propitiation most often refers to appeasing the anger of a deity. Only the High Priest saw the mercy seat, and only once a year, and only with the blood of the propitiatory sacrifice. Lev 16:2 The LORD said to Moses: "Tell your brother Aaron that he shall not enter at any time into the holy place inside the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark, or he will die; for I will appear in the cloud over the mercy seat. 18 Lev 16:13 "He shall put the incense on the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the ark of the testimony, otherwise he will die. 19 Lev 16:14 "Moreover, he shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east side; also in front of the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times. 20 Lev 16:15 "Then he shall slaughter the goat of the sin offering which is for the people, and bring its blood inside the veil and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and in front of the mercy seat. As so many things about the OT temple worship teaches us about the person and work of Christ, so it is true here. 1 John 4:10 says, "In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins." Heb 9:11,12 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. So, Christ is the propitiation, that which appeases the wrath of God; he is the propitiator (High Priest), the one who offers the propitiation; and He is the propitiatory, the only place where we can find mercy from God. Heb 4:16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Peace, Lionstrong |

184 | is the bible the inerrent word of God? | Bible general Archive 1 | Lionstrong | 26304 | ||
Is 10:24 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts... Is 21:6 For thus the Lord says to me... Is 22:15 Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts... Is 28:16 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD...

Is 65:13 Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD... Jer 7:20 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD... Ezek 2:4 "I am sending you to them who are stubborn and obstinate children, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.' Ezek 3:11 "Go to the exiles, to the sons of your people, and speak to them and tell them, whether they listen or not, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.'" Ezek 3:27 "But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you will say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD... Ezek 5:5 "Thus says the Lord GOD.. Ezek 5:7 "Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD...

Titus 1:2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago,... Hello Stranger, Yes, as you can see from a few of the many qoutes above, the Bible is God's Word. And because He cannont lie (Titus 1:2), and because He knows all things, His word is true and without error. But the best proof that the Bible is God's Word is to read it for yourself.

185 | Islam believe christ except for what? | Bible general Archive 1 | Lionstrong | 26297 | ||
Acts 7:37 "This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, 'GOD WILL RAISE UP FOR YOU A PROPHET LIKE ME FROM YOUR BRETHREN.' John 1:21 They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he *said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No." Welcome to the Forum, Stranger! How can the Muslem say he "believes" in Jesus as the Messiah? Don't they say the Mohammad is THE Prophet of God? The Bible teaches that the Messiah is the Prophet, not Mohammad. Also, how can they say they "believe" in the Christ, when they don't believe he is the Son of God, that is, having the same nature as the Father, that is, he is just as much God as the Father is?

187 | Where's the line? | 2 Tim 2:23 | Lionstrong | 23897 | ||
For the Greek word zêtêsis in this context the translators of the NASB chose the word speculation to capture its meaning. speculate 1. To meditate on a subject; reflect. 2. To engage in a course of reasoning often based on inconclusive evidence. See Synonyms at conjecture. See Synonyms at think. 3. To engage in the buying or selling of a commodity with an element of risk on the chance of profit. (The American Heritage Talking Dictionary, 1994, SoftKey International, Inc.) What is the line which when crossed makes speculations foolish and/or ignorant? Or does Paul mean that speculations in themselves are foolish and ignorant? No, Paul does not mean that speculations in themselves are foolish and/or ignorant. As one meditates on Scripture in obedience to Psalm 1 and other commands, one cannot help but to ask questions. These questions naturally lead to speculation in the senses of 1 and 2 above. Speculation is permissible if it stays within the limits of knowledge, that is, if it is not based on ignorance of the Word. And it is o.k. if it does not cross the boarder of good sense into the realm of the foolish. The content of Scripture sets the limits on Speculation. One must understand what Scripture teaches in order to know how far he can speculate on a topic of Scripture. Since there is disagreement on what Scripture teaches, there will be disagreement on what the limits are on a particular topic of Scripture. But speculation within the bounds of Scripture is not bad, but good. The questions raised help us the see Scripture afresh and thereby see more of its truths and find new applications of love and obedience. Peace, Lionstrong, a.k.a. LooseCannon Josh. 1:8 "This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success...." Ps. 1:1,2 How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. Luke 2:46 And it came about that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them, and asking them questions. |

189 | Does Lstrong believe God created evil? | Gen 3:1 | Lionstrong | 20777 | ||
Can you prove this negative statement, Jensen, "God is not evil?" I think you easily can. It is false that a negative statement can't be proven. (Note that this is a negative statement also. So prove the negative statement that you cannot prove a negative!) So, anyway, to state it positively, "It would still be consistent with the goodness of God if he had created Satan evil." ....... Clear enough, my friend? ..........Did God in fact create Satan evil? I'm not sure, but Jesus does say that he was a murderer from the beginning. (Jn 8:44) ......... Peace, Lionstrong | ||||||

192 | why are sins equal but people are not | Matt 6:9 | Lionstrong | 20244 | ||
Side note, Littlehelper, All sins are NOT equal. Stealing is generally not as serious as bearing false witness. But any sin deserves God's wrath, which is death. (Rom. 6:23) Welcome to the Forum. Peace, Lionstrong |

193 | How is God using His poeple through art? | Exodus | Lionstrong | 20133 | ||
Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse. Praise Him for His mighty deeds; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness. Praise Him with trumpet sound; Praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with timbrel and dancing; Praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe. Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! Psalm 150 Dear Awa Bah I think Western Christianity is seriously lacking in artistic expression of significant depth, because we have lost a Christian theology of significant depth. Fundamentalism was a big step in that downward direction, I doubt that many christians have a good grasp of evan the so called fundamentals. There was an explosion of deep artistic expression flowing from the depth of theology in the Reformation. One of the greatest examples is Bach. Our art and music are trite because our theology is trite. I think greatness and beauty will return to our art when our theology returns to the riches we have in the Word of our Great and Beautiful Triune Creator God! God has blessed the church I belong to with wonderful artists who live and struggle the concerns I've expressed here. Peace, Lionstrong |

194 | Is there any practical difference? | Bible general Archive 1 | Lionstrong | 20116 | ||
Dear Tim, "Please do not respond with theological arguments for or against." Is this not a study Bible Forum? How can we discuss anything on a biblical basis without being theological? How can we discuss the practical differences of these two theological positions without discussing their theological practicallity? Give us an example of how we should proceed, by giving us what you think are practical differences, OK? Peace, Lionstrong |

195 | The GAP theory could be true. | Gen 1:2 | Lionstrong | 20022 | ||
Dear CDBJ, To say that God created animals (marine organisms) before creating light on the first day till creating man on the sixth is to deny that God created all thing in the earth and sea in the space of six days. Ex 20 11 Therefore, the gap theory IS impossible. Peace, Lionstrong |
||||||
196 | When did God create angels? | Gen 1:1 | Lionstrong | 20018 | ||
Dear Steve, To say that God created ANY heavenly being at any other time, except during the six day period is to deny that God made EVERYTHING IN THE HEAVENS in the space of six days. Ex 20:11 Peace, Lionstrong |

197 | who created satan? | Gen 3:1 | Lionstrong | 20004 | ||
Thanks for your question, Spark: But the question is not WHO. We know the answer to the who. "All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being." Now, your question is also why. Why would God create his own nemesis? A question asking the implications of a position is helpful in possibly exposing the inconsistencies of that position. So I appreciate the question, Spark. But if I understand what you mean by nemesis, like Sherlock Holme's Professor Moriarty (sp?), I don't see it that way. For one, it's impossible for the Almighty to have such an opponent. Satan is more powerful than man is, I admit. I see him, however, as merely an evil spiritual being who, though acting according to his evil nature, nevertheless does exactly what God has plan for him to do to accomplish God's good, holy and perfect will. Again, thanks for your thoughts and questions, Spark. Lionstrong |

198 | Gap and Pre-Adamic Man theories | Rom 5:12 | Lionstrong | 19878 | ||
Eve was tricked, Lambo. "High treason" suggests deliberate plotting, which was not the case with Eve. So the shortness of time is not a factor, whereas high treason does require more time to develope. Cain was the first-borne. Nothing in Scripture suggests any children before him. If fact the whole gap theory thing only came about since the advent of the theory of evolution to accomodate its teachings. It has developed since then. The theory of evolution is false and so is its accomodation. Peace, Lionstrong |

199 | Should the rapist marry their victim? | Deut 22:29 | Lionstrong | 19708 | ||
Dear Steve, This may not be rape. Read the above verses about the engaged virgin. If they (the man and the engaged virgin) are "found" in the city, both are put to death for adultery. It is assumed that she would have cried out and been heard and recued, if she were being forced against her will. Wouldn't the same be true for an unengaged virgin. In town her cries of resistance would have been heard. ..... ¶ In the field however there's no evidence of rape or consensual fornication. ....... ¶ And with your view of OT law, why would apply at all today anyway? .... Peace, Lionstrong |

200 | How do you know there is a God? | Ps 46:10 | Lionstrong | 19508 | ||
Welcome to the Forum, Maryann, I would start by clarifying the question. How do you know that there is a (fill in the blank)? If someone asked me, How do you know that there is a snark, I would ask him what's a snark? Likewise, I would ask him, What do you mean by God? The word doesn't mean the same thing to everyone. Clear communication requires that we both know what we mean by our words. Now, if someone were to asked me, how do I know that there is an eternal, omniscient, omnipotent, sovereign invisible Spirit who created everything from nothing, who is all wise, most just, good, loving, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth? I would say, I know because the Bible tells me so. The next question might be, well, how do you know that the Bible is true? But I'll leave the inquirer to ask that question. Peace, Lionstrong |
