381 | Why the brief genealogy V14-V30 | Ex 6:14 | azurelaw | 225322 | ||

383 | Why the brief genealogy V14-V30 | Ex 6:14 | azurelaw | 225311 | ||
V14 to V30 seems to me appeared not following the flow of the narrative from V13. This section looks like being added between V13 and 7:1 oddly. It makes much more sense to read 6:13 right away onward to 7:1. 1/ Why did Moses insert such paragraph? What was his purpose or message for his intended readers or target audience? 2/ This brief genealogy talked only the 3 oldest sons of Israel (Jacob) and further more, the line of Levi was mentioned with much detail comparatively. Why? It could not be the idea of emphasizing the preisthood of Levi's line since by that time God had not yet set up the priestly system. Your help is much appreciated. Thank you. Shalom Azure |

385 | He is Lord of all | Acts 10:36 | azurelaw | 225248 | ||
What do the "brackets" mean? Was it (He is Lord of all) in the manuscript originally or a footnote of the scribes? or ? Thank you. Azure |

386 | scriptues for the falsely accused? | 2 Tim 3:12 | azurelaw | 225199 | ||
Dear Alegrio, You say: "Satan or the devil wanted to tempt all people to be lazy to easy go lucky and to be selfish that is the only way man will destroy the earth and God's creation. without directly confronting God." Could you please provide scriptural support as to your above notion especially on Satan's motive : without directly confronting God? By the way, it was not Satan who introduced the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God specifically told Adam beforehand (Gen 2:8-9) and the couple knew that tree already (Gen 2:16-17, Gen 3:2-3). Thank you. Shalom Azure |

390 | Simon the tanner, clean or unclean | Acts 9:43 | azurelaw | 225104 | ||
Was this Simon's business considered detestable and unclean to the Jews? If so, Peter's stay at his house was not in harmony with his response to the vision he had about eating the unclean animals from God. Most commentary considered Simon the tanner involved in detestable trade because of treating of animals' dead bodies. I checked Levitus chapter 11 that talks about clean and unclean animals. God only forbids the eating and touching of the dead bodies of "unclean animals" while those that are clean will be seen as unclean if the animal died (not killed). Therefore, if what Simon the tanner dealt with were bodies and skin of clean animals being killed for making leather shoes, etc., he should not be viewed as unclean (according to the Torah). Then I can understand why Peter stayed at Simon's house and had such a response against the vision. Need your help to figure it out. Thanks. Shalom Azure |

Thanks for the sharing, Brother Doc. Yes, just like Rahab, she professed her faith on the Almight God of Israel (Josh 2:9-11). She was not ignorant at all :-) Shalom Azure |

Dear Deacon, From what you have been asking, they look like homework assignment question or questions for Bible knowledge games/contest. I believe you will obtain your answer from Genesis chapter 11 to 25 - story of the life of Abraham. Enjoy your study. Shalom Azure |

394 | why would christians have demonic visits | Lev 20:27 | azurelaw | 225033 | ||
Dear Tamzam, A definite "no". Fervently pray for your friend. If you both go to church, consult your pastor to figure out how to help your friend. I am afraid he/she is in a dangerous situation. 2 Cor 6:14 1 Thes 5:5 Lev 19:31 Lev 20:6 Shalom Azure |

395 | How do I keep a meak and humble heart? | NT general | azurelaw | 224912 | ||
Dear Patricia, I think I should not have made my reply to you last night (in fact, in the middle of the night) after a few hours of meeting at my child's school. Your feedback proved that I was too tired to write a post and I should go to bed instead :-) I am sorry that I did not make myself clear and I thank Pastor Beja for his helping hand. I am glad that you find his advice helpful to you (as I always do, too). While reading more of your exchange with Beja and knowing about your background, I am glad that you start to "seek" God and "want" Him (I use the quotation marks with hesitation as God always take the first step, not us). I think you did correctly in seeking His Word and improve your Bible study. As Beja said, you need to find a church that teaches sound doctrines and exercises brotherly love fellowship. It is a must for a christian's life. (2 Peter 5:8, Heb 10:25) You ask: Why you say WE in your statement becuse YOU clearly speaking for yourself... My answer: if you stay with the forum long enough, you will know :-) So, please stay around and grow with us in His precious Word. By the way, a welcome to you to the forum :-) May you be blessed in every espect of your life that you may know Him more and bring glory to Him. Shalom Azure |

Dear Patricia, I think the forum is not a suitable place to give you advice or counseling per your situation for the purpose of the Host is to provide a platform for Bible study. However, in concern with your attitude toward scriptures, you should always check what people said if they are align with scriptures - as it is in your case of getting a bible verse (?) on facebook which I don't seem to remember such verse exist. It would be better to ask for citation of book, chapter and verse. Now, back to your case, since you are only telling one side of the story, there is no way that we can make any comments. I think there should be a reason that causes your boss scream at you, anyhow, no one on the forum can be your judge. May I offer the below scripture for your reference and encouragement. I think this should answer your question about being meek and humble. 1 Peter 2:20 Please remember to read the whole chapter 2. Shalom Azure |

397 | Why the children? | Num 33:55 | azurelaw | 224855 | ||
Dear Inquisitor, I don't mean to be disregarding you. While you were posting and exchanging thoughts with Beja, it was my bedtime:-) I think Beja said much better than I. However, upon your request for responding to your previous post where you cited Deut 24:16, Jer 31:30, Ezek 18:19-20 in support of your notion, I would say the same "CONTEXT, CONTEXT, CONTEXT". Simply put: Deut 24 and those preceding and succeeding chapters are God's moral and civil laws to the Israelite before they enter Canaan. Guiding their behaviour to deal with people of their own and gentiles. Interesting to see the scripture you cited in Jeremiah, from the context, it does not support your notion but contrary, it goes parallel and in echo with Rom 5:12. That's why we need (God granted) a saviour "Jesus" for human race (the new covenant - Jesus - mentioned in Jeremiah). Ezekiel also contains similar background for the discussion of the Adamic sin effect and consequence on human race. Read chapter 17 that the rebellious Israelite king caused the nation being captivated. That's why the Israelites grumbled against God in chapter 18. I hope I have expressed myself clear. So, I don't see your scriptures cited line up with what we have been discussing. Thank you for your patience Shalom Azure |

398 | Why the children? | Num 33:55 | azurelaw | 224838 | ||
Read Matt 19:14 in context to see what is Jesus' teaching to His disciple. Consider the cultural background in the passage : women, children - their status in the Jewish society. Contrasting the helpless and low class (children and women) with the rich young man relying on his own righteousness and richness. So, the message is not about children have a place secured in heaven for their innocence, but rebuking those deeming themselves high status (or of higher value and rich) and self-righteous but not depending on God. My 2 cents :-) Shalom Azure |

399 | Why the children? | Num 33:55 | azurelaw | 224836 | ||
Dear Inquisitor, You say: Thus they're (children) assured a place in Heaven. However, scripture teaches that we are sinful even in our mother's womb. So how could children be innocent? Ps 51:5 Behold, I was brought forth in [a state of] iniquity; my mother was sinful who conceived me [and I too am sinful]. [John 3:6; Rom. 5:12; Eph. 2:3.] Shalom Azure |
