341 | How does this apply, please give example | Prov 27:23 | BMyers | 201329 | ||
Basically it refers to taking care of your wealth. PR 27:23 Know well the condition of your flocks, And pay attention to your herds; PR 27:24 For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown endure to all generations. PR 27:25 When the grass disappears, the new growth is seen, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in, PR 27:26 The lambs will be for your clothing, And the goats will bring the price of a field, PR 27:27 And there will be goats’ milk enough for your food, For the food of your household, And sustenance for your maidens Just as Sheppard had to take care of his flock and know his duties, so in the end he could reap the reward and take care of his household. If you fail to do your job and the duties assigned to it, you will end up with no means to take care of your family. Yet if you do your job diligently, your reward will be such. Just my 2 cents from quickly reading it. |

342 | Pampered servant, asset or liability? | Prov 29:21 | BMyers | 202944 | ||
Oddly enough, my first answer was that this is encouragement. Yet, you have to remember we live in a time that slavery is looked upon as bad (rightfully so (didn't want anyone to think I was advocating slavery)). At the time period this verse was written, slavery was a 'norm'. So, I checked two commentaries about this verse and they both state that this was a 'caution' about how to treat your slave. Brad |

343 | Who addressed Jesus as his "redeemer"??? | Isaiah | BMyers | 209778 | ||
The actual word 'redeemer' I believed is used in the Old Testament. The actions of Christ of redemption occurred in the New Testment. I'm not sure that Christ was ever directly addressed as 'redeemer', yet it wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong. (Isa 63:16 ESV) For you are our Father, though Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us; you, O LORD, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old is your name. |

348 | Where is decorating trees for pagan? | Jeremiah | BMyers | 225421 | ||
A few people have tried to make the argument that you can't have a tree based on Jeremiah chapter 10 Jer 10:1 Hear the word that the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel. Jer 10:2 Thus says the LORD: "Learn not the way of the nations, nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens because the nations are dismayed at them, Jer 10:3 for the customs of the peoples are vanity. A tree from the forest is cut down and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman. Jer 10:4 They decorate it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so that it cannot move. Jer 10:5 Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field, and they cannot speak; they have to be carried, for they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good." Jer 10:6 There is none like you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might. Jer 10:7 Who would not fear you, O King of the nations? For this is your due; for among all the wise ones of the nations and in all their kingdoms there is none like you. Jer 10:8 They are both stupid and foolish; the instruction of idols is but wood! Jer 10:9 Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz. They are the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith; their clothing is violet and purple; they are all the work of skilled men. Jer 10:10 But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God and the everlasting King. At his wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure his indignation. |

349 | Jeremiah 14-the killing field, why? | Jeremiah | BMyers | 230814 | ||
First, to me this sounds like a homework question. Second, have you read the chapter? The answer is in the chapter. Brad |

350 | Jeremiah 14-the killing field, why? | Jeremiah | BMyers | 230816 | ||
Look in the middle of the chapter, verses 10-20 somewhere in there, that should explain your question. Also, you can access the Bible chapter over at the right of the forum or use the biblegateway.com Brad |

351 | why is Jehovah's associated with the alm | Jer 1:11 | BMyers | 227868 | ||
I'm taking a guess here and maybe someone else can answer this in more detail or correct me if I'm wrong. I believe the answer is from Jeremiah 1:11-12. According to the notes in two of my study Bibles (NASB Zondervan Study Bible and ESV Study Bible), the almond tree is the first to bloom and is said to "watch for spring". Also, the word almond tree and watchful sound close in the Hebrew language (again from the notes). A reference is made how the almond tree is ever watchful for the first sign of spring and so is the Lord watchful and ready for the first opportunity. Brad |

352 | Being a dictator ? | Jer 5:31 | BMyers | 199546 | ||
It depends on what authority he is taking and what he is doing. In our church, we have a church constitution and by-laws that describes exactly what authority the pastor has and what the deacon board has and what the church member has, all these involve checks and balances. The pastor is the head of the church and such has the responsibility to oversee all areas of the church. I don't know the details of your church situation, but I caution you first and foremost to approach any potential conflict with lots of prayer. Satan uses division in churches, no matter how large or small to destroy churches. If you pastor has done something sinful, (for example had an affair) then your church should have rules and regulations set in place to deal with such a thing. If the matter is over a disagreement (for example the color of the church carpeting) I refer back to my earlier statement, use caution. Satan comes to devour and destroy. Satan feeds off division, especially in churches. I don't know the heart of your pastor, but speaking of my own pastor, he consults with the different committees and boards, but the ultimate responsibility for the spiritual health of the church falls on him (I hate to word it that away, because each member takes responsibility for the church also, but this could really become a long reply). Please pray and then pray some more. Brad |

353 | Being a dictator ? | Jer 5:31 | BMyers | 199566 | ||
Hey Doc, I agree, without checks in place, a pastor, board, or congregation could easily run astray. It is hard for me to speak outside of my own church, because my first hand knowledge of other churches is limited. I have attended the same church for almost 38 years. Good checks and balances need to be in place. Yet I attempt to error on the side of caution when it comes to challenging the leadership of the church. Not because I'm afraid, but because these people, pastor included, have accepted the responsibility for the position. At the same time, I'm constantly comparing their actions to the Bible to make sure they are following Biblical standards. I have seen my own church struggle over what I would term "silly" things (yes I know they were important to the people involved, but in the grand scheme of things, they truly had no eternal value and did nothing to build up the kingdom of God). This is why I always tell anyone to pray and then prayer some more before dealing with a conflict. I'm one of these head strong people that will fight you tooth-n-nail just to prove that I'm right. I've had to pray a LOT to ask the Lord to work on softening that extreme. There are times and situations that call for immediate and direct action, but most call for pray and allowing the Holy Spirit to work first before I open my big mouth. Well time to head off to work. God Bless, Brad |

356 | spiritual significants east gate | Ezekiel | BMyers | 198716 | ||
Are you talking about the gates to the temple in Ezekiel? EZE 44:1 Then He brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which faces the east; and it was shut. EZE 44:2 The LORD said to me, “This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter by it, for the LORD God of Israel has entered by it; therefore it shall be shut. |

357 | Ezekiel 36:17 (unclean women) | Ezek 36:17 | BMyers | 201927 | ||
Leviticus chapter 15 deals with the cleansing and impurity of woman and man. What reading I have done on the matter, the unclean status serves two purposes (besides the simple fact God said so). 1) Until a discharge was proven not to be an illness, both man and woman was consider unclean. This protected the people from the spread of disease 2) The unclean state protected the woman from an over (trying to think the politically correct way of saying it) zealous husband during a time that she was not at her best. Here is part of what Matthew Henry Commentary states: This is concerning the ceremonial uncleanness which women lay under from their issues, both those that were regular and healthful, and according to the course of nature (Lev. 15:19-24), and those that were unseasonable, excessive, and the disease of the body; such was the bloody issue of that poor woman who was suddenly cured by touching the hem of Christ’s garment, after she had lain twelve years under her distemper, and had spent her estate upon physicians and physic in vain. This made the woman that was afflicted with it unclean (Lev. 15:25) and every thing she touched unclean, Lev. 15:26, 27. And if she was cured, and found by seven days’ trial that she was perfectly free from her issue of blood, she was to be cleansed by the offering of two turtle-doves or two young pigeons, to make an atonement for her, Lev. 15:28, 29. All wicked courses, particularly idolatries, are compared to the uncleanness of a removed woman (Ezek. 36:17), and, in allusion to this, it is said of Jerusalem (Lam. 1:9), Her filthiness is in her skirts, so that (as it follows, Lev. 15:17) she was shunned as a menstruous woman. MHC on Ezekiel 36:17 God’s glory had been injured by the sin of Israel when they were in their own land, Ezek. 36:17. It was a good land, a holy land, a land that had the eye of God upon it. But they defiled it by their own way, their wicked way; that is our own way, the way of our own choice; and we ourselves must bear the blame and shame of it. The sin of a people defiles their land, renders it abominable to God and uncomfortable to themselves; so that they cannot have any holy communion with him nor with one another. What was unclean might not be made use of. By the abuse of the gifts of God’s bounty to us we forfeit the use of them; and, the mind and conscience being defiled with guilt, no comfort is allowed us, nothing is pure to us. Their way in the eye of God was like the pollution of a woman during the days of her separation, which shut her out from the sanctuary and made very things she touched ceremonially unclean, Lev. 15:19. Sin is that abominable thing which the Lord hates, and which he cannot endure to look upon. Brad |

Bible doesn't state that, so it would be speculation on what the three ribs represent. Different ones have come to different conclusions, without the Bible giving an answer, it is just a guess. Brad |
