161 | Solomon's judgment of Adonijah and Joab | 1 Kin 2:13 | Tamara Brewington | 203981 | ||
I hear you Carlos, problem, Joab wasn't sinless, which is why it did not occur to me as a parallel. Although it seems right that God did desert him as he commited wrong, not a shadow of Christ who didn't and was deserted becuase he took on sin. But I see how you are making the parallel there... The blood was definetely shed with cause because Joab had killed men without just cause as Solomon relates. Trying to understand what you meant by 'blood being shed without cause'?

162 | Solomon's judgment of Adonijah and Joab | 1 Kin 2:13 | Tamara Brewington | 204044 | ||
Doc you are pure gold! Thanks for the advice... I hear you loud and clear, where text says there is a type, there is a type, where the text says there is a shadow, there is a shadow, where the text draws a parallel, there is a parallel(like in Hebrews about Melchizedek and Jesus). Where there are silimarities those are legitimate similarities but if the various authors did not intend to draw that into a parallel don't make one... Got it Doc. God Bless, Tamara | ||||||
163 | Biblical women who wrote songs | 1 Chr 25:1 | Tamara Brewington | 205183 | ||
Dear aceve, The answer is no women including Miriam are said to have composed songs, only the men. Exodus 15:21 Mirian answered to them, sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted; the horse and his rider He has hurled into the sea. Miriam did not write any song, Miriam was a prophetess and she was telling the women to sing the song of Moses most likely. The text said that she told them to sing a song, she is telling the women to sing, not composing a song. God's day to you, Tamara God's day to you, Tamara |

164 | Can a fallen angel be in God's presence? | Job | Tamara Brewington | 203742 | ||
Yes Satan according to Daniel was a Cherubim who was cast down from heaven to earth. However, considering the body of scripture on this, Satan gets cast down from heaven forever, note forever in Revelation. According to that account in Job Satan was going to heaven after roaming the earth to speak to God. The New Testament says that Satan is our accuser in Revelation 12:10 and in the same verse he he is cast down out of heaven for the second time for ever. We don't know why God would allow Satan to go back and forth, but Ephesians describes the devil and his followers as being in the world forces of this darkness of the heavenly places. Satan stands in heaven daily accusing the brethren. I believe we have a clue in Job as to why God keeps on allowing it... Satan prowls around seeking whom to devour, he told God in Job that he had been roaming the earth and then God says, consider Job a righteous man... I believe God keeps allowing it in order to show the devil that God's people will not renounce him even if God allows the devil to mess with them trying to devour them. | ||||||
165 | Are there dinosaurs? | Job 40:15 | Tamara Brewington | 204033 | ||
Are there dinosaurs in the Bible? Isaiah speaks of the Leviathan in Isaiah 27:1, and Job speaks of Behomoth in Job 40:15. Are these dinos? Or some other large creature now extinct? Scientists have proved these things exist and have differing opinions of whether or not these things were around before man, or during man. Opinions with any other scriptures please.

167 | who was the oldest man | Ps 90:10 | Tamara Brewington | 203740 | ||
Methueselah was the oldest man. Bit of advice, if God could send Jesus Christ as God and man,which is the ultimate miracle then there is no problem believing that men lived to be 900 years old and that their age then went down to 120 years as the Bible says; when the Bible makes plain sense seek no other sense or it becomes nonsene. Apply this to all numbers in the Bible except where the prophets are indicating that the numbers are allegorical. Creation was in six days, the Great Tribulation will take 7 years, the temple in heaven in Revelation has exact measurements as does the city of Jerusalem, you see the prophecies of the birth of Jesus said it would take exactly 400 years which it did and Israel was prophesied to go into captivity for 70 years which it did, and Israel was prophesied to go into captivity for 400 years which it did. Since every single prohecy in the Bible has come true so far and since every single prophecy with numbers has come true so far, then numbers are real and are not figurative, but literal. | ||||||
168 | who was the oldest man | Ps 90:10 | Tamara Brewington | 203966 | ||
Dear Azure its the same as when God said to Adam, in dying you shall surely die. The death was not just spiritual, Adam starting dying until he died, God was gracious in not making him physicaly die right away, but death still came along. Same thing with these men, they may have been born after the flood, but what is important is that God's decree that men would no longer live more than 120 years eventualy went into effect, it did happen...

169 | NT canon in 1st century or 350 AD? | Ps 119:89 | Tamara Brewington | 204001 | ||
Ok guys I got a question about the canon, I am sure this has been kicked around before. I got this kooky professor and he claims that the NT church had a finalized canon of the Bible floating around way before 350 AD. Wanna help me out? Any truth at all to this idea? I keep trying to ask him, you mean that the apostles and elders had a few books of the NT together and were sharing it around? He goes no, the canon as we know it was going around, just trying to clarify the scope of what he meant there... God Bless, Tamara | ||||||
170 | NT canon in 1st century or 350 AD? | Ps 119:89 | Tamara Brewington | 204133 | ||
Say Steve, I don't think I got this until I just checked the thread... Talkin bout the NT only, my mistake in my question... Got it that Peter refers to Paul, and yes there were authoritative references to most of the NT with the church Fathers, but that was most, not all. 1)Marcion anyone, didn't he have the first known compiled canon and didn't it leave out a vast amount of books in the NT that he didn't believe belonged there? 2)But as to there being a full canon of the NT like we have today, would you give that a date of first century, or 350 AD? 3)Wasn't there ongoing arugumentation amongst the church fathers up till about 350 AD as to whether some of the letters of Paul were to be included, is that wrong or right? God Bless, Tamara |

171 | NT canon in 1st century or 350 AD? | Ps 119:89 | Tamara Brewington | 204391 | ||
Wow, camping, great! Haven't gone since I lived in Washington state as a kid! Thanks a whole buch for getting back to me on this. I was required to go give my pastor an explanation of what my theology class was taught like and this came up. I did go on line trying to study and found out there was a letter from Athanasius that had a complete list of our present NT canon by 365 AD. What I was being taught in class was way off. I was being taught that all, every, book we now have in the NT was accepted as canon in the first century and that there was no contention on any level that they all belonged in the canon, which is clearly incorrect. It helps, thanks again. God Bless, the hat lady |

173 | Praise Dance Wrong Worship? | Ps 149:3 | Tamara Brewington | 205650 | ||
Dear Forum members, What do you think of praise dancing? Have you ever seen it done? I have seen churches of all denominations and colors doing this? Some churches see this as shaking your bottom in public and think all dancing is the work of the devil. I personally like it and it has been done in my church by the youth from time to time although I strongly objected to the choice of music and wonder despite the lyrics how such music could be said to even be praise music based on the music, if you could call it that. We know David danced right out of his clothes in a praise mode and his wife couldn't stand it and felt it was unholy. What do you all think? God's Day To You, Tamara |

174 | Praise Dance Wrong Worship? | Ps 149:3 | Tamara Brewington | 205658 | ||
Dear Cheri, Here is something for you in return then, when you look to the side you will see as you scroll down that there are praise dancers of eveyr shade in this thing! Enjoy! Are you familiar with the praise dacing that is done in white face or black face depending on your color with white gloves that is done as a kind of mime dancing? These dancers use no facial expression and use their hand and body motions to praise the Lord to music! It is fascinating and freeing to watch this, but I don't know where to go on line to send this to you. I am going to enjoy this link you sent me very much! Thanks Cheri! you always edifify!, Tamara http://www.christianartistsonline.net/artists-home/task,videodirectlink/id,1711/ |

175 | Praise Dance Wrong Worship? | Ps 149:3 | Tamara Brewington | 205689 | ||
Dearest Doc, You said; I've yet to see any examples in North America of so-called "praise dancing" that reflected a reverential fear of God, and an effort to honor Him in the spirit in which He commands. Instead, it is always something man centered, with exceedingly fleshly aspects. Take the flesh out of it, and there might be some measure of hope of the Holy Spirit's involvement (Galatians 5:17). Could you please expound a bit more here about what you see would be the fleshly aspects and what would be a true display of the reverential fear? No aruguments or disagreements being fired here... How are we to know what is in folks hearts when they praise the Lord by dance? If we saw African Christians moving differently than American Christias move, would we say it was not reverential in the fear of God because it was different? David danced out of his clothes in pure worship of God in joy that the Ark was being returned to its proper place. His wife found that undignified, ungodly, and a disgrace before God and men, she was wrong. I am pretty sure David got fairly active there or he couldn't have danced out of his clothes. Would we, if we were seeing him have felt that his worhship was to "me centered" becuase it was not dignified or even reverential in form? I was under the impression that we should praise the Lord from the heart, whatever the mode and not worry about appearances, with all our heart. I am not insinuating that you are saying different and this is not the beginning of a fruitless argument or an entrance into an ignoring of good advice. You got me to praying and thinking some more about this is all. What do you think? God's Grace To You, Tamara |

177 | Driven by eternity or love? | Ps 150:1 | Tamara Brewington | 204503 | ||
First and foremost if you are having trouble being driven by your love for Jesus try praising Him a lot. The love relationship will grow in proportion to how much time you spend praising Him for His mighty goodness to save a sinner like you. Start with gratefulness as your theme. What I mean about praising Him is take the time out to sing your heart out to Him (as well as get on your kness and pray praising Him). Sing an old song, sing a new song, sing with a good voice, a bad voice, while crying, or while happy, just keep on singing until the drops of sweat have you drenched and you are ready to drop. I guaruntee you you will find yourself in love with Jesus. Works every time. Here is one for you; Psalm 150 Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse. Praise Him for His mighty deeds; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness. Praise Him with trumpet sound; Praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with timbrel and dancing; Praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe. Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath Praise the Lord! Go get some praise music, go get some hymn music, go get some old music, some new music. Make a project out of it, He is worth th eeffort. You can down load it you can go buy it, you may already have it make the effort to learn the songs and sing your heart out. Praise is an important part of your relationship with Jesus. You will find yourself feeling more love towards Him and you will start to really experience the love back in a myriad of ways. Don't wait for anyone to join you, this is personal. Worrying about your eternal security can be a real healthy thing, keeps you on track. Mathew 22:37 And He said to them, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is just like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. God Bless, hope this helps. Tamara |

178 | Jesus symbolism in parable, how else | Proverbs | Tamara Brewington | 205217 | ||
Dear chessshores, See verse 11 where it makes clear why Jesus was saying the whole thing in the first place? Jesus was talking about the whole matter of being good stewardsof money in order to make far more important ont about being entrusted as good stewards of the true righes... The riches that you are to accumulate as part of your reward in heaven, as Jesus says elsewhere, store up for yourselves treasure in heaven. You have to get the context of these passages about money correct in the parables to understand why Jesus was saying what he was saying in the first place. God's day to you, Tamara |

179 | what kind of Bible reading qualifies? | Proverbs | Tamara Brewington | 205232 | ||
Dear chessshores, I respect that you are from another culture, so are others here, we are all from slightly different cultures even those of us from the USA in here are not all from the same exact culture or church denominations. I think you are doing just fine my dear in following the guide lines. You are including scripture, you are either posting a note to something that interested you, or you are asking a question as best you can in language that is not your first language, and you think from a different point of view coming from a different culture and heritage. I have had friends from many different cultures and from different countries and understand that it can be difficult to understand what people see things like who are different than I am. I myself am of mixed heritage, culture and background and my family is slightly mixed up. I love knowing people who are different than I am, its a big big world, and a big big body of Christ. I have Pentacostal friends, which you would not have guessed from my posts back to you, I have a Catholic friend from childhood, which you would not have guessed from my posts, and I have unbelievers for friends that you would not have guessed from my posts to you. I had the priveledge of teaching jewelers from Japan, South America, and a deaf person how to make jewelry without any of us speaking the same language. We resorted to a kind of made up sign language for one year and tried to understand one another to do things together on the job. At the end of one year, with the exception of the deaf man, they all were able to speak a form of English enough to communicate differently. I think, folks from different religious cultures have something higher in common by which they can communicate, the Bible, and this can cross cultures and backgrounds and heritages, and bring us together as one. I think that according to the type of questions you will ask and the texts from the Bible you will pick folks in here will slowly get to know you. And if you remain open to correction sometimes and being taught something scripturaly sound by those who have been around in the Lord for a while in here, you might really grow in your walk with Christ. The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge is not a Bible I am familiar with, I will have to get familiar with it. From the sounds of it, it encouraged you a great deal. I would like to know, how that Bible works. Is it that this Bible has verses in the referrence column that refer back to the orginal verses? Or is it that this Bible has verses right alongside the text in the margins? Or is it that this Bible has verses right in the text after the original verse, another verse from another part of the Bible following the original? James 4:3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures. This is not about negligence, or sloppiness, or deliberat cheating. It is about verses 1 and 2 which say that people are quarreling and having conflicts with one another and that this is the source of their lustful desires for things causing wrong conduct. This is about the lust for things that one does not have that are causing one to commit murder to get something and to be envious of others and fight with them to get things and that one does not get things because one has not asked the with the right motive asking the right way to God. Verse 3 goes on in the same theme that because one has the wrong motive one does not receive because the motive is to spend the answer to the prayer on selfish pleasures. As you can see that is not negligence, or sloppiness, or deliberate cheatting, it is about selfishness, asking for things for the wrong reasons, harming others in order to get things, and is about doing things the wrong way being a source of the mind and actions of the flesh which wage war against the spirit. Keep asking questions my dear. By His Grace, Tamara |
