701 | God puts a man to death for ejaculating | Gen 38:9 | BradK | 183008 | ||
Hello greyowlbeard, The person you're referring to is Onan from Gen. 38:9-10: "But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his. So whenever he went in to his brother’s wife he would waste the semen on the ground, so as not to give offspring to his brother. And what he did was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and he put him to death also." (English Standard Version) BradK |

702 | Are angels capable of sinning now? | Gen 48:16 | BradK | 168448 | ||
Dear eneliko, "The basic teaching of the Bible is that there are three groups of angels; unfallen and free, fallen and free, and fallen and confined. All of the free ones are very active in things that touch the lives of believers and unbelievers alike. As opponents of God and perverted servants, the fallen angels attempt to thwart His purposes. As perfect servants, the unfallen angels actually form a company of friends of the elect." [Karleen, Paul S. The Handbook to Bible Study] They do posses will according to Isa. 14:12–15 and Jude 6. Basically, satan fell because of his pride and desire to "be like God" (Is. 14:12-14) I like how our pastor said it once. "All you have to do to go to hell is, nothing!" The theme song to hell was written by Frank Sinatra: "I Did It My Way". Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

703 | Gentiles into Gods kingdom | Gen 48:19 | BradK | 149037 | ||
Hi regguh, From my study and knowledge, I don't see any direct prophecies regarding the gentiles. Ephesians 3:4-6 tells us that, "4 By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit; 6 to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel..." Although, There are hints of it in the OT- such as Gen. 17:5 and 48:19, "But his father refused and said, “I know, my son, I know; he also will become a people and he also will be great. However, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

704 | Is this a prophecy about Messiah? | Gen 49:10 | BradK | 74409 | ||
TheTowns, I believe the prophecy foretold here is that the Messiah would come from the tribe of Judah. Here is some info regarding Gen. 49:10 from JFB: until Shiloh come—Shiloh—this obscure word is variously interpreted to mean “the sent” (Jn 17:3), “the seed” (Is 11:1), the “peaceable or prosperous one” (Eph 2:14)—that is, the Messiah (Is 11:10; Ro 15:12); and when He should come, “the tribe of Judah should no longer boast either an independent king or a judge of their own” [Calvin]. The Jews have been for eighteen centuries without a ruler and without a judge since Shiloh came, and “to Him the gathering of the people has been.” From Eastons Bible Dictionary, here is some additional background on Shilo: Shiloh — generally understood as denoting the Messiah, “the peaceful one,” as the word signifies (Gen. 49:10). The Vulgate Version translates the word, “he who is to be sent,” in allusion to the Messiah; the Revised Version, margin, “till he come to Shiloh;” and the LXX., “until that which is his shall come to Shiloh.” It is most simple and natural to render the expression, as in the Authorized Version, “till Shiloh come,” interpreting it as a proper name (comp. Isa. 9:6). Shiloh, a place of rest, a city of Ephraim, “on the north side of Bethel,” from which it is distant 10 miles (Judg. 21:19); the modern Seilun (the Arabic for Shiloh), a “mass of shapeless ruins.” Here the tabernacle was set up after the Conquest (Josh. 18:1–10), where it remained during all the period of the judges till the ark fell into the hands of the Philistines. “No spot in Central Palestine could be more secluded than this early sanctuary, nothing more featureless than the landscape around; so featureless, indeed, the landscape and so secluded the spot that from the time of St. Jerome till its re-discovery by Dr. Robinson in 1838 the very site was forgotten and unknown.” It is referred to by Jeremiah (7:12, 14; 26:4–9) five hundred years after its destruction." I hope this is of help, BradK |

EdB, Please forgive my oversight! Yes, I stand corrected and did in fact overlook including this important preceding paragraph:-) No intended injustice to the very fine and time-tested JFB! Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

Dear Tremere123, May I offer an observation to your comments? I don't think that there was any direct attempt to "kick you out", "attack you" or "berate". Your own statement in your user profile belies the challenge:"I think this site is very useful in helping us work out our theories and confusion about Scripture". By far the majority of us are not here to work out our "theories".I most certainly hold a very high view of scripture, along with others.(2 Tim.3:16-17) Theorizing has very little if anything to do with the Word of God- if one is a believer! (2 Tim. 2:15) The case for citing and providing a scriptural basis for your questions should be self-evident.(Acts 17:11)It helps you to lay a proper foundation and for Forum members to better understand where you're coming from. It boils down to being an effective communicator. To avoid being misunderstood, one should be as specific and detailed as possible. New believers are very welcome and are given solid answers with years of wisdom behind them. As James writes "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him." Interaction with other solid believers can provide both wisdom and valuable perspective. Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

707 | Praise the Lord! | Exodus | BradK | 67891 | ||
Dear tremere123, I sincerely appreciate the honesty in explaining your challenges in conveying your beliefs. Sometimes it's not easy to transfer your thoughts into written statements. I might suggest following the dialoge on the Forum to learn- and feel free to ask questions:-) How can I say that "the majority here is not here to work out their theories?" Well, first of all I would not use the word "theory". To me, a theory is an assumption based on limited information or knowledge, a conjecture. The Bible on the other hand is inerrant truth! (John 17:17) and inspired of God (2 Tim. 3:16). We are here primarily to seek further understanding of the Word and to convey its' established truths. Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

708 | Praise the Lord! | Exodus | BradK | 67956 | ||
Tremere123, If you are being totally candid and sincere about your statement"help me see where I am wrong and misleading...I didn't just come here to try to help others but to possibly be helped myself.." Let me offer some well-intentioned correction:God is eternal. He was not "created". Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. (John 1:1-3)As Jesus Himself said in John 8:58 "Most assuredly, I say to you, BEFORE Abraham was, I AM". We are dealing with a clear fact of scripture, not supposition! My sister, I would strongly encourage you to heed the wisdom of the more senior members of this Forum. They are on the right track.(Prov 12:1) Proverbs admonishes us to seek after wisdom in 4:7. Proverbs 18:15 says "The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge." I would add Proverbs 19:20 " Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days." Ignorance is simply a lack of knowledge! We are admonished to "Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser..."(Prov.9:9) Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

709 | Praise the Lord! | Exodus | BradK | 68016 | ||
tremere123, I do not know how to be anything but direct to your statement, other than to say you appear very confused in your theology! You say "...God also made Himself in the flesh..yes?" Absolutely not! To repeat: God is eternal. That Christ is God and came to earth in a fleshly body is pictured in John 1:14. As He is pre-existent, He could not be and was not created(John 8:58)! Col.1:16-18 speak of Christ: 16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18 He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything." Further, notice the reference to Christ in Col.2:9 9 For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,". Tremere, nowhere does scripture imply nor should it lead us to believe Christ is anything less than God. Your arguments are not logically formatted or abundantly coherent! Please clarify yourself and try to focus on one thought or idea at a time. Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

710 | Resurrection Day, not easter! | Exodus | BradK | 215247 | ||
Humilty: Please, stop the patronizing remarks! They are not necessary, they're full of assumption and over-generalizing about Christians. In short, they're not edifying. With all due respect, I don't know under what authority you speak "truth" from, but you don't have it all figured out. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

711 | Moses as killer? | Exodus | BradK | 218328 | ||
Hello Zilla, The short, simple answer is that none of us without sin or too far from the reach of God's grace. Neither was Moses. As with Rahab, he is commended for his faith in Heb. 11:23-29. Five times it's mentioned, "by faith". This does not excuse his action, make it right, holy or a good example. What are you to learn? Read the aforementioned passage in Hebrews and meditiate on it:-) The question really becomes, how does the Holy Spirit through the inspired Word of God testify of Moses?

Hello marieflngn, The self-existence of God is also referred to ny it's older name, the Aseity of God. This sounds lilke it might be a test question? A good Systematic Theology in it's section on the attributes of God would be a good resource and lead into to learing on this question. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

713 | John8:24 and John8:57-58 | Ex 3:14 | BradK | 127137 | ||
DBR, You've got to be kidding! John 8:58 is one of the clearest examples in scripture referring to the Diety of Christ. The Jews certainly understood Him because they picked up stones... None of the Greek scholars I'm aware of (Roberston, Vincent, Wuest) nor any of the numerous translators of the many fine translations go with "The Being". Only the Jehovah's Witness as far as I know, wrench such a distorted meaning out of the original:-) My friend, Jesus Christ is Lord and the Eternal Son of God , God in the flesh, and Savior. It is to Him that I look for my salvation! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello tofind, There are many good sources for the names of God. Online, for a decent, fairly concise listing, go to: www.gotquestions.org/names-of-God.html.

716 | Will there be 2nd resurection | Ex 4:3 | BradK | 217397 | ||
Hello chomba, Possibly you refer to the resurrection of the dead? This "will be simultaneous both of the just and the unjust (Dan. 12:2; John 5:28, 29; Rom. 2:6–16; 2 Thess. 1:6–10)." [M.G. Easton, Easton's Bible Dictionary] BradK |

717 | Will there be 2nd resurection | Ex 4:3 | BradK | 217422 | ||
Hello rakpak, The believer is not judged as to our (their) eternity. The Bema seat judgment is in regard to reward: 1 Cor 3:11-15- " For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work. If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire." (NASB) 2 Cor 5:10- "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad." (NASB) This is in reference to reward, not judgment as to our (believers) eternal destiny. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

720 | WHO WILL ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM? | Ex 12:1 | BradK | 119587 | ||
LORRAINBOW, Welcome to the Forum. As a friendly reminder, it is usually considered shouting to use all caps:-) As to your question, this was just recently asked- and debated to an extent! Though scripture is quite clear about this, not all see it so. For some background, look at Exodus 12: 1-3, 12-13, and 29-30. The passage explains the Passover instructions. The Lord instructs Moses and Aaron to "speak to all the congregation of Israel" (vs. 3) It appears ONLY the Israelites were told, not the Egyptians. In Verse 29 and 30, the Lord strikes the plague of death on ALL firstborn- "there was not a house in Egypt where there was not one dead" I believe God's reason is this: I will execute judgement: I am the Lord. Those receiving the plague of death, "had not heard". Similarly, in Romans 1, we have the pronouncement of mans' sinfulness. Note verses 19, 20, and 2:1. As Romans 11:13 and 17 say, "For 'whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall, be saved. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
