61 | "Here I stand; I can do no other." | 2 Thess 2:15 | Ocelot | 170924 | ||
Robin, Going back to something Lionstrong said, who’s tradition is the final word? For centuries the Roman Catholic church decided what “tradition” was, and we had the dark ages. Thousands were murdered in horrendous ways for defying that “tradition”. Would you have us return to that? Unless the Bible, and the Bible alone, is the final word, many will be crushed by the “traditions” of men. Ocelot |

62 | ... | 2 Thess 2:15 | Ocelot | 170907 | ||
I wonder what glowing words Christ had for tradition? Matthew 15:3 And He answered and said to them, "Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?" Matt 15:6 "...And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition." Mark 7:8 "Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men." Mark 7:9 He was also saying to them, "You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition. Mark 7:13 thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that." That's all I could find. Ocelot |

65 | did Jesus have a beard? | Is 50:6 | Ocelot | 170865 | ||
Hello Sandra l, welcome to the forum. The only verse in the Bible that refers to Jesus as having a beard that I am aware of is Isaiah 50:6 “I gave My back to those who strike Me, And My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard; I did not cover My face from humiliation and spitting.” That prophecy would have been fulfilled by both the high priest’s guards and the Romans. Also, it was Jewish custom for a man to shave off his beard ONLY when in mourning. So to answer your question, yes, Jesus had a beard. Ocelot |

66 | where is uz? | Job 1:1 | Ocelot | 170860 | ||
Hello Selvin, and welcome to the forum. According to Zondervan’s Archaeological Study Bible “Uz was a large territory east of the Jordan river. It included Edom in the south and the Aramean lands in the north.” I hope this helps. Ocelot |

67 | why a new heaven and new Earth | Rev 21:1 | Ocelot | 170857 | ||
Cowboy, You asked, “Why is there going to be a new heaven and a new Earth?” Revelation 21:1 "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away..." So the answer to your question is, “...the first heaven and the first earth passed away...” Just a note, the word “heaven” in the bible is often used to simply mean sky or atmosphere. So I would assume that that is what is meant here. So when will “the first heaven and the first earth passed away”? 2 Peter 3:10 “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.” Hope this answers your question In Christian love, Ocelot |

68 | The devil questions. | Bible general Archive 3 | Ocelot | 170851 | ||
KumKum, Your questions are very good ones, and questions that MANY people ask. Unfortunately, to properly answer your questions would require me to write a small book. I would suggest that you go to a Christian book store and order yourself a copy of the book “Epic” by John Eldredge. In my opinion, it answers your questions very well. In Christian love, Ocelot |

69 | "to keep the feast of tabernacles" | Zech 14:16 | Ocelot | 170632 | ||
So are you saying that we should still be keeping those feasts? I ask out of curiosity as I’ve wondered about that before. Ocelot |

71 | WHERE DID ADAM N EVE'S CHILDREN FIND THE | Genesis | Ocelot | 170623 | ||
It was actually a convenient little set up they had going there, as they didn’t have to go far to look for a mate :-) Put bluntly, they married each other. You see, back then they didn’t have the genetic problems that would accompany such things nowadays. I hope this answers your question. Ocelot |

72 | animals and the flood | Gen 6:9 | Ocelot | 170608 | ||
I totally agree with you. I don’t believe that God intends for any of His creatures to be abused or neglected. I think that one of the ugly results of sin is that both man and beast suffer needlessly. All of the suffering on Earth ultimately comes back to man’s sin. I think that it is a lesson for us that sin causes suffering. The suffering of men, women and children, as well as animals should also help to keep us longing and looking for the day when “…the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little boy will lead them.” Isaiah 11:6 Ocelot |

Dear Hank, I agree with what you said 100 percent. What you’re describing sounds like what I call “Church Marketing”. Where services are designed to entertain. Where the goal is to get numbers in the pews. And where true Godliness is left at the door. However… The “sensitivity” that I was talking about is not the “sensitivity” that you are talking about. I don’t think that sensitivity means that truth ceases to be truth or that sin ceases to be sin. I’m talking about the sensitivity that does not break “a bruised reed” or extinguish “a dimly burning wick…” The fact that these people are on this forum shows that they seek the truth. They have not swallowed what they’ve been fed. At least not yet. As for patience… we are given an Eleventh Commandment. “Love one another.” According to 1 Corinthians 13:4 “Love is patient…” I hope that you don’t think that I am trying to be arrogant or condescending. I respect you. You are much older and wiser than I. I’m just saying that I know what it’s like to have doubts. Ocelot |

Not that I disagree with your ultimate statement Hank (because I don’t), but regarding thinning patience and foolish questions, I think it would be fair to take a look at the culture that many Christians are bombarded with every day. Our place in history is unique in that the “leading thinkers” of our day declare that there is no God. That man is a mere accident. And our entertainment industry and our culture are constantly telling us that our religion is a crutch. I completely agree that God receives a pathetic amount of reverence from His creation. But I also think that He understands that we ‘dwell, where Satan's throne is’. I believe that, more than any other time in history, faith is under attack. I think we need to be sensitive to those who may be tempted to doubt. Just my “two-cense”. Ocelot |

75 | follow up - noah | Rom 3:23 | Ocelot | 170537 | ||
Hello Hic, To be blameless, perfect or holy does not mean that we posses those traits by nature. Nor does it mean that Noah attained perfection or blamelessness of his own ability. The Bible says in Philippians 2:13 “for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.” Ocelot |

76 | Is saying you are a god unforgiveable? | Matt 12:32 | Ocelot | 169896 | ||
Dear holyliving I fear you’re treading on thin ice. To say that John 12:36 somehow says that we “participate in being God” is quite wrong. To say that we become “sons of God” does not mean that we “participate in being God”. We are adopted as sons and daughters of God, but that by no means puts us on an equal level with God. God may dwell in us but this does not mean that we “participate in being God”. Understand that this is not a personal attack. I’m just trying to let you know that you’re on shaky ground. In Christian Love, Ocelot |

77 | kw5kw, do u worship God WHEN u repent? | Rom 7:19 | Ocelot | 169506 | ||
Hi Russ. Where in the Bible did this change take place? Nowhere in all of Holy Scripture is there any mention of transference of the sanctity of the Sabbath to the first day of the week. I do respect Spurgeon. But if Almighty God calls the SEVENTH day of the week Sabbath, and Charles Spurgeon calls the FIRST day of the week Sabbath, I’m going to stick with God. Ocelot |

78 | kw5kw, do u worship God WHEN u repent? | Rom 7:19 | Ocelot | 169498 | ||
Here are a couple of corrections to my last post. It would really help if I got everything right the first time. The place I said “The seven day week was NOT man made.” What I should have said was “Sunday being the first day of the week was NOT man made. Also where I said “There is not, and never has been a command in the Bible to keep holy any day other than the Sabbath, the day we call Saturday” Should have “…keep holy any day OF THE WEEK…” in it. I’m sure you all knew what I meant :-) Ocelot |

Oh Russ my friend. You have inspired me. You said “The truth is that Sunday being the first day of the week is man made.” I would say that you are totally and utterly, dead wrong. There is not, and never has been a command in the Bible to keep holy any day other than the Sabbath, the day we call Saturday. The seven day week was NOT man made. It was GOD made. The Jews (those people that stood on Mount Sinai) have kept only Saturday holy for thousands of years. That’s all I have to say… for now Ocelot |

You said: “But Jesus takes us away from the law! We no longer live under the law, but under Grace! Do we sin? Yes, we do!” Romans 6:14, 15 “For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!” Ocelot |
