322 | Don't bring out past sins scripture? | Prov 17:9 | Val | 197713 | ||
Use this opportunity to witness for Christ Jesus. He has told us that if we confess our sins He is faithful to forgive us our sins and remember them no more. Tell this person or persons that the Lord promised to forgive you if you ask Him to and that is what you did. Tell them what you did was wrong and you have asked for forgiveness and the Lord has forgiven you. No more explanation is needed other than that. It is a sad fact that some people will never forgive us for our sins and that is a consequence we have to live with, but with Christ Jesus He has promised to help us to live through it with the power of His Holy Spirit. Ask for strength and wisdom and peace from Him. He is the One to whom we are responsible. May God Bless you and Merry Christmas. Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool. Isaiah 43:25 "I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, And I will not remember your sins. |

324 | Are woman suppose to wear pants? | Prov 31:25 | Val | 196697 | ||
Women are suppose to dress modestly. A clean heart will affect what a woman wears on the outside. Protect your heart. The inner person is what remains beautiful when age comes. The whole chapter of Proverbs 31 is excellent. Prov 31:22 She makes coverings for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple. Prov 31:23 Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land. Prov 31:24 She makes linen garments and sells them, And supplies belts to the tradesmen. Prov 31:25 Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future. |

Hello SOG, There is an intesting debate on this topic at Reformed.org ISSUE: Are We Ever Morally Justified in Deceiving Others? It takes into account many passages of scripture. I do not agree with everything this website says. Just offering it for your research since you mentioned me. I do not want to debate this topic futher but thought you might find the link a good read.

I am not in this discussion. I was encouraging New Creature for his excellent commentary. I see you have done the same in the past to those who you wanted to. The scripture I used is to me one of the most loved in the bible and used as an encouragment to New Creature. | ||||||

330 | why is life described as "vain" | Eccl 9:9 | Val | 199805 | ||
In reading Solomon's work and life we see that he was a king of Israel at its zenith. He had all the beauty and riches that life could afford. He also disobeyed the Lord by multiplying wives which was a snare to him. In the end he said that riches and pleasures were all vanity and the essence of life is to love God and keep his commandments. This comes from possibly the wisest man who walked the earth. So it seems that he is speaking of one wife here. To want more is vanity. | ||||||

333 | studying the book of isaiah | Isaiah | Val | 193741 | ||
Precept Ministeries has written a bible study on Isaiah that will be available this December. I have found their studies have been quite helpful to me in studying God's word for myself. Their studies do not tell you what to believe but show you how to study to discover God's truths for yourself before going to commentaries. I highly recommend them. Respectfully submitted, | ||||||

335 | Isa 6:9-10 translated differently in NT? | Is 6:9 | Val | 205916 | ||
Isaiah 6:9-10 - The Lord is sending Isaiah to preach to a people who will not respond. He asks how long will he have to preach to them and the Lord gives the answer in verse 11 Then I said, "Lord, how long?" And He answered, "Until cities are devastated and without inhabitant, Houses are without people And the land is utterly desolate, Blessings, Val |

336 | Isa 6:9-10 translated differently in NT? | Is 6:9 | Val | 205917 | ||
John 12:40 - So the first fatal cause of unbelief is the activity of God's sovereign hardening of Israel prophesied in the Old Testament and designed by God to bring about salvation in the death of Christ and the building of His own church. You say, "Well, that's not fair for Israel. They're just a victim of God's sovereignty." No, because then he gives the other side of the coin. Here's the second cause of unbelief, not God's plan, but personal choice. Look at it in verse 42. "Nevertheless," isn't that an interesting word? Fantastic! "Nevertheless," what does that word mean? That means "Even in spite of the sovereignty of God..." Did you get that? Even though God had sovereignly blinded and hardened the nation Israel, nevertheless they were individuals. Here is free will on the part of man, choice, operating within the sovereignty of God. God's sovereignty over national Israel, yet individual choice. "Nevertheless, among the chief rulers also many...what?...believed on Him." You say, "Hey, terrific, a revival!" No. "But because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him lest they be put out of the synagogue for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God." - John MacArthur You might want to read the entire sermon in its entirety. He stresses that God's spirit does not always strive with men. In other words, there is a time of grace. If we neglect that time there comes a time when one cannot believe because of the hardness of ones heart. Blessings, Val |

338 | Does anyone have any notes on Isa 44:4? | Is 44:4 | Val | 190919 | ||
Dear Joanna: Greetings In Christ A way to observe a verse of the bible is to look at the verses before and after it. This is looking at the verse in its context. Asking questions about the passage such as: who is he talking to, what is he talking about, when did this happen, why did it happen and where did it happen, the passage begins to explain itself. So asking these and similar who, what, when, where and why questions we see from verse one he is talking to the nation Israel. What questions -answer that he is talking about the blessing of God and how to obtain it -through calling on the name of the Lord, repenting. What else does he talk about - who the true God is and who is not. The last verse talks about Cyrus - this gives us a hint to the time - during the reign of Cyrus - the King who let Israel return to their land and rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. Verse 4 shows what they will be like (like is a word of comparison) they will be like willows or poplars by the watercourses. Reading the whole chapter in its context gives the meaning. I hope this helps. This method is called inductive bible study. It lets the passage speak for itself. Is 44:1 "But now listen, O Jacob, My servant, And Israel, whom I have chosen: Is 44:2 Thus says the LORD who made you And formed you from the womb, who will help you, 'Do not fear, O Jacob My servant; And you Jeshurun whom I have chosen. Is 44:3 'For I will pour out water on the thirsty land And streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring And My blessing on your descendants; Is 44:4 And they will spring up among the grass Like poplars by streams of water.' Is 44:5 "This one will say, 'I am the LORD'S'; And that one will call on the name of Jacob; And another will write on his hand, 'Belonging to the LORD,' And will name Israel's name with honor. Is 44:6 "Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: 'I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me. Is 44:7 'Who is like Me? Let him proclaim and declare it; Yes, let him recount it to Me in order, From the time that I established the ancient nation. And let them declare to them the things that are coming And the events that are going to take place. Is 44:8 'Do not tremble and do not be afraid; Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it? And you are My witnesses. Is there any God besides Me, Or is there any other Rock? I know of none.'" Is 44:9 Those who fashion a graven image are all of them futile, and their precious things are of no profit; even their own witnesses fail to see or know, so that they will be put to shame. Is 44:10 Who has fashioned a god or cast an idol to no profit? Is 44:24 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, "I, the LORD, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself And spreading out the earth all alone, Is 44:28 "It is I who says of Cyrus, 'He is My shepherd! And he will perform all My desire.' And he declares of Jerusalem, 'She will be built,' And of the temple, 'Your foundation will be laid.'" NASB |

339 | Isa. 65:25 The wolf and the lamb | Is 54:10 | Val | 196679 | ||
In 1937 Thomas Andrew Dorsey wrote a song for Mahalia Jackson “Peace in the Valley,” which has become extremely popular. It has been recorded by Red Foley, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and has been sung in churches for decades. Oh well, I'm tired and so weary But I must go alone Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes Well the morning's so bright And the lamp is alight And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes There will be peace in the valley for me, some day There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray There'll be no sadness, no sorrow No trouble, trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me, for me Well the bear will be gentle And the wolves will be tame And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes And the beasts from the wild Shall be lit by a child And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes There will be peace in the valley for me, some day There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray There'll be no sadness, no sorrow No trouble, trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me, for me The theme of the song is Peace. I think the picture of peace is still there even if the lion is in the wolf's place. Is 54:10 "For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, But My lovingkindness will not be removed from you, And My covenant of peace will not be shaken," Says the LORD who has compassion on you. |

340 | Why replace a wolf for a lion | Is 54:10 | Val | 196683 | ||
We would have to ask the writer of the song I guess. Since the song was widely sung, it sort of took off and other things were created like the pictures and paintings. Yes a wolf would have worked as well but for some reason, unknown to us, the writer chose a lion. I think your missing the point though. The song conveys how wonderful it will be when there is peace. We all make mistakes. This is a small one. It does not change the theme of the song or message of peace. The Lord said we are to proclaim the gospel and trust Him for the results. Trust Him. He works in people's lives to bring them the gospel. John 3:16 | ||||||
