281 | what does God say about people stealing | Ex 20:15 | BMyers | 234649 | ||
You shall not steal. (Exodus 20:15 ESV) Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 ESV) Brad |

282 | What does the Bible say about gambling? | Ex 20:17 | BMyers | 214692 | ||
I would like to add, are you being a good steward of God's money when you gamble? Matthew 25:14-30 Brad |

283 | What does the Bible say about gambling? | Ex 20:17 | BMyers | 214695 | ||
I'm sure John will answer in greater detail, but the main issue of gambling is the fact of stewardship. Are you being a good steward of what God has blessed you with? Along with the central issue of stewardship, what about the effect it has on the community and/or the individual. I will give you a prime example, we have a gambling boat in the neighboring community. A lady went and gambled six thousand dollars (one article says eight thousand) of her money away. She then realized what she had done and instead of confusing to her husband, she went and shot herself. She survived and then told the police she had been robbed. (The articles are in The Telegraph for Alton, IL). This is one of hundreds of stories about how gambling has destroyed a person/family. Are we called to be our brothers/sister keeper? Romans 14 I still say the main reason that gambling is wrong, is that one is failing to be a good steward with what God has given them. Brad |

284 | ADULTRY VS BIGAMY #3 | Ex 21:10 | BMyers | 221924 | ||
Well, I will take a little different approach. The Bible states we should obey the laws of the land (Romans 13:1-7). Since the United States law prohibts this behavior, you would be wrong in committing this act. Before you ask, if the law is against God's law, then you have to obey God's law (Acts 5). Brad |

285 | ADULTRY VS BIGAMY #3 | Ex 21:10 | BMyers | 221937 | ||
I know a good realtor if you need any help. :) More seriously, verses have been given that shows God's choice was for one man and one woman. We can see that God, sometimes allows things that He didn't desire that away. The example I'm thinking of is divorce. God never wanted a marriage (Matt 19:6 and Malachi 2:16) to separate. Yet, Mosaic law allowed for it (Matt 19:8) and Jesus made it a more specific (Matt 19:9). So we can see from this example, that marriage was originally setup to never end, but through the Mosaic law and man's corruption, divorce was allowed, not that it was God's preferred way. Following this train of thought, marriage was meant for one man and one woman, but God allowed the change even though that wasn’t his preferred way. Yet adultry, which is sex outside of marriage has never been approved. Did I make any sense? Brad |

286 | Eye for an Eye | Ex 21:24 | BMyers | 221264 | ||
I believe thou shall not kill is actually an incorrect translation, the correct should be shall not murder, which I believe most modern translations have corrected. Exo 20:13 "You shall not murder. Brad |
||||||
287 | Eye for an Eye | Ex 21:24 | BMyers | 221265 | ||
Just to add a footnote, murder is defined as the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought (Webster) were as kill is defined as to deprive of life : cause the death of (Webster). So if the verse was translated as 'kill' then there would be an issue, but when translated as 'murder', there is no issue with capital punishment (based on the definitions). Brad |

288 | Leviticus16:8,10,20-22 | Leviticus | BMyers | 210961 | ||
I'm a little confused, I'm trying to figure out where you got that the other got was taken to the wilderness and given to Satan. I read the verses you pointed out, but the scapegoat in this case that was sent into the wilderness as representation of the removal of sin. Did I miss something where it said it was given to Satan?

293 | Why Miriam and not Aaron | Num 12:10 | BMyers | 202635 | ||
Here is what Matthew Henry Commentary has to say: "Miriam was struck with a leprosy, but not Aaron, because she was first in the transgression, and God would put a difference between those that mislead and those that are misled. Aaron’s office, though it saved him not from God’s displeasure, yet helped to secure him from this token of his displeasure, which would not only have suspended him for the present from officiating, when (there being no priests but himself and his two sons) he could ill be spared, but it would have rendered him and his office mean, and would have been a lasting blot upon his family. Aaron as priest was to be the judge of the leprosy, and his performing that part of his office upon this occasion, when he looked upon Miriam, and behold she was leprous, was a sufficient mortification to him. He was struck through her side, and could not pronounce her leprous without blushing and trembling, knowing himself to be equally obnoxious. This judgment upon Miriam is improvable by us as a warning to take heed of putting any affront upon our Lord Jesus. If she was thus chastised for speaking against Moses, what will become of those that sin against Christ?" Brad |

294 | stoning children | Deuteronomy | BMyers | 234109 | ||
“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear. (Deuteronomy 21:18-21 ESV) Brad |

295 | God answered that is enough about this | Deut 3:26 | BMyers | 209780 | ||
NIV: Dt 3:26 But because of you the LORD was angry with me and would not listen to me. “That is enough,” the LORD said. “Do not speak to me anymore about this matter. (Deu 3:26 ESV) But the LORD was angry with me because of you and would not listen to me. And the LORD said to me, 'Enough from you; do not speak to me of this matter again. |

296 | What does the verse in Deuteronomy mean? | Deut 22:5 | BMyers | 210867 | ||
(Deu 22:5 ESV) "A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God. My understanding of this verse it outlaws the practice of transvestism. (Fancy word for cross dressing or trying to appear as one of the opposite sex.) |

297 | Is it sin to sell dogs? | Deut 23:18 | BMyers | 234107 | ||
No, you need to research what dog means in this context. Deut 23:18 is referring to male prostitute. Brad |

298 | a man not working first year of marriage | Deut 24:5 | BMyers | 203592 | ||
I would love to try to convince my wife that I shouldn't of worked for a year after we got married. I think you are thinking of Deuteronomy 24:5 where the new husband was exempt from military duty so he could start his new family and setup his household. Brad |

300 | Place where Bible stood still one hour | Joshua | BMyers | 215012 | ||
I'm not sure about the sun standing still for an hour, but here is the scriptural reference in Joshua: Jos 10:12 At that time Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD gave the Amorites over to the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, "Sun, stand still at Gibeon, and moon, in the Valley of Aijalon." Jos 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day. Jos 10:14 There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD heeded the voice of a man, for the LORD fought for Israel. (ESV) Brad |
