321 | Why did the Lord do this to Pharaoh? | Ex 4:21 | azurelaw | 203016 | ||
Dear John, Welcome to the forum. Hope the below helpful to you. "Romans 9:17-18 declares, “For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: ‘I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.’ Therefore God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden.” From a human perspective, it seems wrong for God to harden a person and then punish the person He has hardened. Biblically speaking, however, we have all sinned against God (Romans 3:23), and the just penalty for that sin is death (Romans 6:23). Therefore, God hardening and punishing a person is not unjust, as it is actually merciful in comparison to what the person deserves." - Elmer Towns To read more, please go to: http://www.gotquestions.org/God-harden-Pharaoh-heart.html Shalom Azure |

322 | why did God wait ? | Ex 4:24 | azurelaw | 207796 | ||
Dear vblocal, Welcome to the forum. The Bible does not explain "why" (in terms of the timing) for this particular event. However, we are taught in the Bible that He has His own timing which is perfect, good and for His own glory. (John 12:27-28, John 17:1, Rom 8:28) Eccl 3:1 There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven-- Shalom Azure |

323 | Was God angry with Moses or his son? | Ex 4:26 | azurelaw | 203321 | ||
Dear mot, See v26 for the answer. Moses did not follow the circumcision covenant (Gen 17:10-14). This could be due to his wife Zipporah was a Midianite (Ex 2:16) who would have just disregard the Israelite rules and norms. Shalom Azure |

325 | revelation behind Exodus 11:2-3, 12:35-3 | Ex 11:3 | azurelaw | 213446 | ||
Dear conqueror, I believe it is, on one hand, because of God's grace on Israelites as you can find in verse 3 that you cited: "The LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians..." On the other hand, it is part of God's justice brought about against Egyptians' wicked deeds on His people at the beginning chapters of Exodus. You may also refer back earlier to Genesis chapters 43-47 the story about how and why Jacob (Israel) went to Egypt. They went there not empty-handed (Gen 46:6), they were not treated as slaves but honourable guests with rich promise by Pharaoh (Gen 45:17-20, 47:5-6), they have the promise from God to become a great nation (Gen 46:3). I don't see any mysterious revelations constituted to the borrowing of the Egyptians' treasure. Shalom Azure |

326 | were babys killed at passover | Ex 12:12 | azurelaw | 221723 | ||
Dear wejlly, No. See the below verse that not all babies, but all firstborn (including grown up man and animals / beasts in the land of Egypt). God is so merciful that He did not kill all (as He did when He judged the wicked people in Noah's time), but retained the second born children onward. Ex 12:12 'For I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments--I am the LORD. Shalom Azure |

Dear heman, Since you are new here, I hope the following tips helpful for you when posting and for better follow up discussion for other users. 1/ When you post a follow-up note or question in the existing thread, please mark it "note" unless you want to start a new question outside of the original thread. 2/ When you register, I believe (to my memory) there is a requirement that you need to fill in your valid email address. So, when a post/question is in respond to yours, the system will automatically notify you by email. In case you are sure that you are missing any email notification from Lockman, you can always write to them for help. 3/ As a long-time participant on the forum, the style of Searcher that I understand is that he always provide short and biblical answer, but might not be direct answer. He also likes to answer with a question to trigger the poster's thought to dig into the scripture. I think this is a good way to foster thinking. We have been experiencing many demanding straight forward direct from the forum as if the forum is a "fast food restaurant". I believe most of the regulars here on the forum do not think it a good idea for training serious bible study. Concerning your question, I see that brother Doc has provided you an answer already --- God created all things for His glory (my paraphrase of his actual wordings). Let me provide the below scriptures to consider:- Psalm 19 Roman 3:23 Roman 8:28 Remember, when you study the scriptures, you may encounter with difficulties on a certain/particular word or phrase. Don't just get stuck there and make haste to file your questions, try reread again and again the whole chapter or even those chapters before and after in order to get a better idea of the context that construct the idea of the writer of the book. God's holy Word is so deep and rich like a buried treasure. It requires our hardwork to dig, dig, dig... Shalom Azure |

330 | Worship in form of art | Ex 20:4 | azurelaw | 188975 | ||
Dear otahuti, Ex 20:4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.... 1/ Why do you think sculpting is a form of worship to God? 2/ Do you mean that you want to explain to children how people make their idols by sculpting? Thanks for your further elaboration. Shalom Azure |

331 | ... | Ex 20:5 | azurelaw | 208309 | ||
Dear yearegods, Please read Exodus 20:2-6. God is jealous that His creature worship and give glory to things/people other than Him who is the most highest God, the only one God, the Creator of All. Please make fist letter capital when you write 'God'. Shalom Azure |

332 | Need Bible verse | Ex 20:6 | azurelaw | 218909 | ||
Dear Willow, You may read the book of Psalm which contains a lot of such blessings. However, the most vivid one comes to mind is Exodus 20:6. The verse is easily captured if you recite the 10 Commandments at church on Sundays. Shalom Azure |

333 | Swearing on God's Name | Ex 20:7 | azurelaw | 221441 | ||
Dear Rebekeh, I believe the related verse to your situation is Exodus 20:7. Note that it is not about sin that cannot be forgiven, but he who commits the sin must be punished. So, if you repent of your sin and turn away from it, God will forgive. The only unpardonable sin is recorded in Matthew 12:32. However, the Bible warns us not to make swear so casually. To learn more about the teaching on swearing, you may do a word search by typing "swear" on the Bible Text search box and check on the books of Leviticus, Numbers and Matthew. Remember, do not read only a bible verse. Proper understanding needed in accordance with its context. Shalom Azure |

334 | Scrpture on helping selfish? | Ex 20:9 | azurelaw | 221211 | ||

336 | The Face of God | Ex 24:9 | azurelaw | 198131 | ||
Dear budderfligh, A warm welcom to you to the forum. I am so much excited to see your testimony of how our gracious Lord and the Holy Spirit work on you. May your ministry be blessed for His glory and through you God passes His blessings onto the youth who are under your care. In response to your second question, I did some search (thanks for your good questions, they trigger me to work harder. The only ignorance is not asking.) Below are what I have got thus far and I hope they are helpful to answer your questions. Exodus 3:2 "And the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him,.... Not a created angel, but the Angel of God's presence and covenant, the eternal Word and Son of God; since he is afterwards expressly called Jehovah, and calls himself the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, which a created angel would never do: the appearance was…" (John Gill) "…To his great surprise he saw a bush burning, when he perceived no fire either from earth or heaven to kindle it, and, which was more strange, it did not consume, v. 2. It was an angel of the Lord that appeared to him; some think, a created angel, who speaks in the language of him that sent him; others, the second person, the angel of the covenant, who is himself Jehovah. It was an extraordinary manifestation of the divine presence and glory; what was visible was produced by the ministry of an angel, but he heard God in it speaking to him." (Matthew Henry) ***** Gal 3:19 "by angels--as the instrumental enactors of the law [ALFORD] God delegated the law to angels as something rather alien to Him and severe (Ac 7:53; Heb 2:2, 3; compare De 33:2, "He came with ten thousands of saints," that is, angels, Ps 68:17). He reserved "the promise" to Himself and dispensed it according to His own goodness. in the hand of a mediator--namely, Moses. De 5:5, "I stood between the Lord and you": the very definition of a mediator. Hence the phrase often recurs, "By the hand of Moses." In the giving of the law, the "angels" were representatives of God; Moses, as mediator, represented the people." (Jamieson, Faussett and Brown) "and it was ordained by angels; not Moses and Aaron, and Joshua, as some say; for though Moses was concerned in the giving of the law, yet not Aaron nor Joshua, nor are any of them ever called angels; but the holy elect angels are here meant, the ten thousands of saints, or holy ones, God came to Mount Sinai with, and the Lord was among, in the holy place; see Deuteronomy 33:2 and so the Jews say that the Lord appeared on Mount Sinai gloriously, aykalmd hytyk Me, "with companies," or "troops of angels," to give the law to his people: and this may be said to be "ordained" by them, inasmuch as it might be written and spoken by them, as the instruments and ministers God made use of; for though the tables are said to be the work of God, and the writing the writing of God, and to be written with the finger of God, and he is said to speak all the words of it, yet this hinders not, but that all this might be done by the means of angels; who might be employed in disposing and fitting the stones in the form they were, and in writing the law upon them; hence it is said to be given by the disposition of angels, Acts 7:53 and certain it is, that it was spoken by them, Hebrews 2:2 they forming in the air those articulate and audible sounds, when the law was delivered…" (John Gill) Those are just my 2 cents. Other more knowledgable and capable on the forum will be happy to help. Shalom Azure |

337 | Moses breaks the tables | Ex 32:19 | azurelaw | 222259 | ||
Dear Shmibrjill, Scripture did not say if his actions sinful or not. I believe he did it out of righteous anger. The reason that Moses got punished (could not enter the promise land - Canaan) was clearly stated in Numbers 20:12. Shalom Azure |
