23 | The Exodus's importance to Hebrews? | Exodus | Renovate Me | 112121 | ||
This is a story of redemption and creation, not just of Hebrews as a nation, but of God's people as the church. God's almighty power redeemed Israel from the fetters of slavery, and they were taught His law and His tabernacle was built. Moses was writing of man's reconciliation with God through Jesus as a mediatior (see John 5:46), and coming into a communion and a covenant with Him. |

I have always appreciated and looked forward to your responses, My eternal brother. This is why I wish to thank you for you clarification of your previous post. Your post did initially have a negative effect on me, but again, I am sensitive. It is extremely difficult to portray our message from the heart over this media, and too often we are misinterpreted. Without the benefit of body language, (accounting for 85-90 percent) it is actually impossible to accurately portray our true feelings. I find many of my posts on this Forum to be: not answered in the vein in which they are intended, but attackerd by those who feel I am wrong and they should correct my wayward thoughts. I am thanking you with my heart for your splendid response, (in multiple, as they may be) and look forward to future threads that link us together. Blessings con amore, my brother. |

32 | verse 1.2 | Ruth 1:5 | Renovate Me | 111008 | ||
Their days were shortened, because they transgressed the law in marrying strange wives. So what we have here, by taking the verse in context, is two marriages, three deaths, and Naomi becomes a widow. One other event could be turning to God as the only source of comfort. |

33 | Where did Samuel sleep that night? | 1 Sam 3:3 | Renovate Me | 110281 | ||
Dear rns, there is a commentary by Matthew Henry (1714), that shares some insight into the arrangement. some of this follows: In Verse 2: Eli had retired. Samuel had waited on him to his bed, and the rest that attended the service of the sanctuary had gone, we may suppose, to their several apartments: Eli had laid down in his place; he went to bed betimes, being unfit for business and soon weary of it, and perhaps loving his ease too well. Probably he kept his chamber much, which gave his sons the greater liberty. And he sought retirement the more because his eyes began to wax dim, an affliction which came justly upon him for winking at his sons’ faults. Verse 3: Samuel had laid down to sleep, in some closet near to Eli’s room, as his page of the back-stairs, ready within call if the old man should want any thing in the night, perhaps to read to him if he could not sleep. He chose to take Samuel into this office rather than any of his own family, because of the towardly disposition he observed in him. When his own sons were a grief to him, his little servitor was his joy. Let those that are afflicted in their children thank God if they have any about them in whom they are comforted. Samuel had laid down ere the lamp of God went out. It should seem he lay somewhere so near the holy place that he went to bed by that light, before any of the lamps in the branches of the candlestick went out (for the main lamp never went out), which probably was towards midnight. Till that time Samuel had been employing himself in some good exercise or other, reading and prayer, or perhaps cleaning or making ready the holy place; and then went softly to his bed. Then we may expect God’s gracious visits, when we are constant and diligent in our duty. -I hope I have been of good service, rm |

34 | Did GOD leave out tabernacle details? | 1 Sam 3:3 | Renovate Me | 110291 | ||
Hi rns, There is another excellent site at netbible.org where I found the following info, I hope it helps. As for creating waves, that is undesirable for a Christian, see Col 3:12, " Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; " I completely understand your eagerness to help solve this topic of curiosity among your church family members, but always remember it is unwise to speculate over non-essential details, because that will always leave an opening for an argument. Arguments are inspired by the enemy, not the Bible. May God anoint your studies, here is the additional commentary: The details provided for us in verses 2, 3, and 7 help us understand the setting in which the events of chapter 3 take place. Samuel is lying down in his appointed place inside the tabernacle, not that far from the Ark of the Covenant, which is inside the Holy of Holies. Eli is sleeping somewhere else, not too distant for Samuel to hear when he calls. As the author informs us, Eli’s eyesight has greatly deteriorated, so that his vision is seriously impaired (see also 4:15). With Eli’s age, weight, and visual limitations, he needs the help of a boy like Samuel. Samuel can bring Eli a drink of water or run other errands for him. It is only natural for Samuel to assume that a call late at night comes from his master, Eli. |

Brother, First let me say I have struggled w/the same thing for 35 years. You have come to the right place to recieve sincere and caring help from a host of godly people. Next, you can get a variety of answers to your question by typing related words in the quick search box. My personal suggestion is fasting with prayer.I stop eating after dinner on Friday, only drink water on Saturday, then only allow myself fleshly nourishment after my spirit is nourished at Sunday's church service. Also, read Psalm 51 every day for 5 days. Then Psalm 38 for another 5. When Jesus was tempted in the desert, the only weapon He used against satan was the Word. And, Listen to what Jesus says to His apostles who were unsuccessful in driving out a demon, from KJV, Mat 17:20,21 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 21"Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." (note: some translations, such as certain NIVs omit this verse.) Next, allow me to suggest you spend time reading Psalm 119. This psalm is devoted to how the Word of God is able to transform our lives. It is one prayer after another showing us the way God uses His Word for our benefit. 119:45 says, “I will walk at liberty for I seek your precepts.” also, 37-38, “Turn away my eyes from looking at vanity, And revive me in Thy ways. Establish Thy word to Thy servant, As that which produces reverence for Thee.” Remember, these are only suggestions, -for each individual is different, with a unique set to his own problems. I was saved less than 3 years ago, and the only thing that (almost) kept me from my problem was almost 2 years in prison. However, I am getting strong in the Word again, through a Bible correspondance course and much religious programming on TV plus total abstinence of network TV. I feel like I could be making some real progress. Also, one thing that stops me from feeling so down on myself is to remember that God has seen me at my worst, and He still loves me anyway. God Bless You, bro Tim |

Thanks, here's a story for you about conquering the beast. A hunter was walking through the jungle and he was startled as he came upon a pygmy standing next to a very large dead beast. Standing there amazed, he asked the pygmy, "did you kill that?" To which the pygmy answered "Yes." Then the hunter inquired how such a small person could ever overcome such a huge beast, to which the pygmy replied,"I killed it with my club." The astonished hunter then asked,"Oh? How big is your club?" and the pygmy replied, "There are 85 of us." My wounded brother, We are members of a club that is able to conquer any beast that comes our way, and this club is called the church. And oh how powerful the club is and how we are all needed to attend every meeting. I will pray for your liberation from this addiction. We must start by praying specifically for power over the beast, the very next time the urge strikes. I know as well as you that this is a real tough enemy to conquer. In His service and yours. |
