221 | God sought Moses to kill him | Ex 4:24 | Val | 198315 | ||
God is holy. He gives only good gifts. James 1:12 Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. James 1:14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. James 1:15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. James 1:16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. James 1:17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. |

Isaiah 45:7 Hello Michael, there is an explanation of the two kinds of evil that you might find interesting. This explanation is found in the Holman Bible Dictionary. It can be viewed on the internet at Lifeway Online Bible Library under Dictionaries under the word evil. Also under Commentaries by Matthew Henry the passage Isaiah 45:7 says: There is no God beside Jehovah. There is nothing done without him. He makes peace, put here for all good; and creates evil, not the evil of sin, but the evil of punishment. He is the Author of all that is true, holy, good, or happy; and evil, error, and misery, came into the world by his permission, through the wilful apostacy of his creatures, but are restrained and overruled to his righteous purpose. Grace and Peace Val |

223 | Murder vs Killing | Ex 20:1 | Val | 211879 | ||
Hello kamschoolgrad, welcome to the forum. In replying to posts we mark our posts as a note and not a question. My answer to you in regards to the text of Deuteronomy is to ask you a question. Who was the passage in Deuteronomy addressed to? If you answered the nation of Israel. You would be correct. Therefore since it was addressed to the nation of Israel it would not be for your family. When we read the old testament we are reading a text that has been translated into English. The Hebrew and Greek languages have bible dictionaries that give further explaination as to the meaning of the words translated into English. These definations give us insight into the full thought of the original author. Sometimes when we read a bible text it may appear to mean one thing but when we look deeper into its meaning in the orignal language we see it has a deeper and different meaning in how we would apply it today. That is why a lot of people make fun of the old testament. They have no idea what the meaning and symbolism represent. There is a passage that says that in the later days there will come mockers of God's word. Its wrong to mock God and His word and to question God's integrity. If I did not know the answer to someone's question I would point them to God's character. He is holy, pure, righteous, just, creator, sustainer, eternal. I could go on. Do you see my point? | ||||||

Greetings kamschoolgrad, I would urge you to read and study the whole bible and you will learn the answers to your questions. I would also suggest you obey our government and the laws of our country. In the books of Moses the Israelites served Jehovah God and His laws. This was the law enforcement of that society. In our society today, God has ordained government and law enforcement to uphold justice. A good christian is a law abiding one. There are many topics you might study on your quest for answers. Among them are the covenants, gentiles, the law. Your sister in Christ - Val | ||||||
226 | The Face of God | Ex 24:9 | Val | 198113 | ||
Those are excellent questions. As I understand it the Lord is a person and He did speak face to face to Moses and the others you mentioned. Since He is a spirit it is still difficult to understand the full picture. As I understand it His full glory was not show Moses and the others. His full glory will be shown when He returns and every knee will bow. He is so awesome that it causes every knee to bow whether they are believers or not. The main point of these stories is that He is a person and we are made in His image so that we can communicate with Him. He had a purpose for these men and He helped them fulfill that purpose. Some believe it was the Lord Jesus Himself in Abram's tent. May God bless you. Genesis 18:1-22 | ||||||
227 | Was it the influence of | Ex 33:11 | Val | 205481 | ||
Dear Barry: I think you can find the answer in the verses you cited. Look at verse 11. The Lord used to speak to Moses face to face. "Just as" is a term of comparison. The comparison is that the Lord spoke to Moses directly just as you might speak to your friend directly. We know that Moses would tell the people what God said so Moses had a special relationship with the Lord. One that the people did not have. You have a special relationship with your friend and speak to him directly. You might tell others what your friend says but you are the one who has the special relationship. Face to face means they spoke directly to one another as you and your friend speak directly to one another. Verse 9 explains how the Lord appeared to Moses: in the pillar of cloud. Ex 33:9 Whenever Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent; and the LORD would speak with Moses. Very interesting. Blessings, Val |

228 | Leviticus16:8,10,20-22 | Leviticus | Val | 211014 | ||
Dear a1busdriver, In my studies I came across this topic. I would like to share it with you. The emphasizes is on the work of Christ. Specifically how He deals with the sins of those who are sanctified. Not only does He purify us and make us clean He remembers our sins no more. Tradition tells us that lots were cast between the two goats. One was sacrificed and the other was taken into the wilderness. As best I can explain it it is symbolism of Christ and how He dealt with sin when He offered Himself the one sacrifice for all. (Hebrews) Not only did He purify us of our sins but He remembers our sins no more. So the second goat was taken by a man so far and then another man and then another far, far into the wilderness until he reached a cliff upon which he would push the goat off the cliff. The symbolism of this is that Christ remembers our sins no more and as Corrie Ten Boon says He put up a no fishing sign. Further explaination: Man's responsibility is faith in Christ. This is the point we are saved once and forever. We commit daily sins and therefore need daily forgiveness. (I John) These sins are unintentional sins not defiant sins. Hope this helps. Blessings Val |

229 | Why were these things asked of them? | Lev 10:6 | Val | 195317 | ||
The answer is found in the "so that" 10:6 -so that you will not die and that He will not become wrathful against all the congregation. 10:9 -so that you will not die--it is a perpetual statute throughout your generations-- Why were these things asked of them? Lev 10:3 Then Moses said to Aaron, "It is what the LORD spoke, saying, 'By those who come near Me I will be treated as holy, The thing that Eleazar and Ithamar had done - offering strange fire that the Lord had not commanded - brought about judgement to them. If you read the entire book of Leviticus you will get a better picture of what the Lord expected. Also the book of Hebrews explains the book of Leviticus. Hope this helps. |

Some bible students believe the answer is found in Lev 10:9 "Do not drink wine or strong drink, neither you nor your sons with you, when you come into the tent of meeting, so that you will not die--it is a perpetual statute throughout your generations-- ..." Some bible students believe the boys may have been drunk. |

231 | purification | Lev 12:1 | Val | 208993 | ||
Juststudyingthebible: This passage of scripture is a law regarding how to come to the tabernacle to worship God. There were very specific rules. It is not about how long a women physically has her flow. There was a waiting time whether it was a boy or girl bably that she was to wait before coming to the tabernacle to worship. This is part of the covenant that was done away with, see Hebrews to see how Christ brought in the New Covenant. One thing that might help you is to go through the book of Leviticus and mark "clean" and "unclean". Then write down these verses. I studied Leviticus in a bible study called Precept Upon Precept. It was very helpful to me. The inductive bible can be purchased at this site. At the beginning of each book of the bible it gives you questions to ask of the text to help you better understand it. I have used this bible for many years. After doing your own study you can go to commentaries such as those that are free at Preceptaustin.org. May God bless - Val Lev 12:1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, Lev 12:2 "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: 'When a woman gives birth and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean for seven days, as in the days of her menstruation she shall be unclean. Lev 12:3 'On the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. Lev 12:4 'Then she shall remain in the blood of her purification for thirty-three days; she shall not touch any consecrated thing, nor enter the sanctuary until the days of her purification are completed. Lev 12:5 'But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as in her menstruation; and she shall remain in the blood of her purification for sixty-six days. Lev 12:6 'When the days of her purification are completed, for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the doorway of the tent of meeting a one year old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering. Lev 12:7 'Then he shall offer it before the LORD and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who bears a child, whether a male or a female. Lev 12:8 'But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.'" |

232 | Is Universalism Scriptural | Lev 16:34 | Val | 198728 | ||
Nick, if you don't mind me asking, what denomination teaches you this view? | ||||||
233 | Is Universalism Scriptural | Lev 16:34 | Val | 198744 | ||
Nick, thank you for your honesty. You know I have spent many a sleepless night when someone I knew and loved died without confessing Christ as Lord. The anguish I felt was sometimes overwhelming. A wise pastor who I called gave me a word of comfort. He said, we must believe that God is righteous and just and that we are committing this one who died into the hands of a loving and just God. Although it did not comfort me to know this one may not be in heaven as the Lord had given me an opportunity to talk with him about eternity before his death. My friend said honestly he did not believe in Christ. When I warned him of the consequences of going to the place in the bible called hell, he laughed. He even called his mother and said guess what mom they said I am going to hell. His mother agreed that he was. It was within six months or so that this man committed suicide. Life is tough, is it not? Personally I can't pretend that everything is going to work out fine for those I love, but knowing that my God is righteous and just and loving gives me hope and comfort because I know He will handle everything in the best way it can be handled. One thing I have learned is that we cannot make people believe what we believe and that is ok, we can pray for them, witness of Christ and the deliverance from the second death that He has provided and leave the rest to Him. May God bless you. Val Rev 20:15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Rev 21:8 "But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." |

236 | homosexuality | Lev 20:13 | Val | 198927 | ||
For obvious security reasons I have made it my practice not to email anyone. Nick, I study the bible inductively and search the scriptures to see if things people say are true. We are called to do that I believe. I have done many in-depth studies that is why I chose to discuss scripture in light of people's theology. I take everything back to scripture and line it up with God's word rather than lining the scripture up with theology as you call it. In saying that there are some historical christian doctrines that all true believers adhere to. These are called the essentials of the christian faith. As many have told you what you are saying is not in line with these. I know you know this already as you are a bright, kind person. Since I believe you have confused the basics of the christian faith that is why we must start with the basic teaching of how one is saved. We can do that if you want but if not please realize that what you are saying amounts to a different gospel. It is not the gospel of the bible. Come out from among the group you are involved with and be willing to be taught. May God bless you. Val | ||||||

I don't know how to answer your question Nick. As I told you I study a whole book of the bible at a time using the NASB inductive Study Bible which is available on this site. The reason I say that is I can discuss passages in the bible or a book of the bible. The whole point in studying this way is to know God better. I also see what He is like and how He relates to people. It is essential that we study the Old Testament as well as the New Testament. Rather than focusing on the things I have questions about, I study the bible in depth book by book. I believe the bible and what it says even though I don't understand it all. I use the in depth studies by precept ministeries international. You can google them. Start in Genesis and work your way through. If you study with an open mind and prayfully I believe God will honor your heart. May God bless you. Val Deut 4:29 But if from there you will seek (inquire for and require as necessity) the Lord your God, you will find Him if you [truly] seek Him with all your heart [and mind] and soul and life. |

Nick, do you know much about the religious leaders of Jesus' day? What some of these leaders did was add to the written word. They added some 600 or so rules and placed more importance on these than the word alone. So in a way can you see that adding something to the written word that is not there is something the Lord does not like? He stated that in Revelation. Rev 22:18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; Rev 22:19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book In saying this I believe it is a warning to all of us to be very careful how we handle the word of God. Today, we have the advantage of having resources to study the word of God. We have the written word. We have bible dictionaries and all kinds of aids to help us in our studies so we can study and the word ourselves. There are many good religious leaders today. How we discern which are the good ones is to take what they say and line it up with scripture. We see the example in Acts 17:11; After hearing the gospel from Paul and Silas, these new believers "were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily, to see whether these things were so" |

That is an interesting perspective. So in essense are you saying that the Creator is not being fair? Are you saying if he warned those who did not chose to worship Him as Creator and told them about "hell" they would have turned away from their false gods and worshiped Him? | ||||||
