692 | What does the name "Jehovah" mean? | Ex 3:15 | azurelaw | 214718 | ||
Dear humility, I am not familiar with Jewish history. However, your question can be answered per the below link: YHWH / YAHWEH / JEHOVAH: “LORD” (Deuteronomy 6:4; Daniel 9:14) – Strictly speaking, the only proper name for God. Translated in English Bibles “LORD” (all capitals) to distinguish it from Adonai “Lord.” The revelation of the name is first given to Moses “I Am who I Am” (Exodus 3:14). This name specifies an immediacy, a presence. Yahweh is present, accessible, near to those who call on Him for deliverance (Psalm 107:13), forgiveness (Psalm 25:11) and guidance (Psalm 31:3).

693 | Why did the Lord do this to Pharaoh? | Ex 4:21 | azurelaw | 203016 | ||
Dear John, Welcome to the forum. Hope the below helpful to you. "Romans 9:17-18 declares, “For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: ‘I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.’ Therefore God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden.” From a human perspective, it seems wrong for God to harden a person and then punish the person He has hardened. Biblically speaking, however, we have all sinned against God (Romans 3:23), and the just penalty for that sin is death (Romans 6:23). Therefore, God hardening and punishing a person is not unjust, as it is actually merciful in comparison to what the person deserves." - Elmer Towns To read more, please go to: http://www.gotquestions.org/God-harden-Pharaoh-heart.html Shalom Azure |

694 | Does God lead us to sin? | Ex 4:21 | azurelaw | 215864 | ||
Dear John, I have just found a very brief but succinct discussion on the will of God by R.C. Sproul (at monergism.org) as below. Hope you enjoy it, too. Shalom Azure ****** The Will of God by R. C. Sproul ...The Bible is deeply concerned about the will of God---His sovereign authority over His creation and everything in it. When we speak about God's will we do so in at least three different ways. The broader concept is known as God's decretive, sovereign, or hidden will. By this, theologians refer to the will of God by which He sovereignly ordains everything that comes to pass. Because God is sovereign and His will can never be frustrated, we can be sure that nothing happens over which He is not in control. He at least must "permit" whatever happens to happen. Yet even when God passively permits things to happen, He chooses to permit them in that He always has the power and right to intervene and prevent the actions and events of this world. Insofar as He lets things happen, He has "willed" them in this certain sense. Though God's sovereign will is often hidden from us until after it comes to pass, there is one aspect of His will that is plain to us---His preceptive will. Here God reveals His will through His holy law. For example, it is the will of God that we do not steal; that we love our enemies; that we repent; that we be holy. This aspect of God's will is revealed in His Word as well as in our conscience, by which God has written His moral law upon our heart. His laws, whether they be found in the Scripture or in the heart, are binding. We have no authority to violate this will. We have the power or ability to thwart the preceptive will of God, though never the right to do so. Nor can we excuse ourselves for sinning by saying, "Que sera, sera." It may be God's sovereign or hidden will that we be "permitted" to sin, as he brings His sovereign will to pass even through and by means of the sinful acts of people. God ordained that Jesus be betrayed by the instrument of Judas's treachery. Yet this makes Judas's sin no less evil or treacherous. When God "permits" us to break His preceptive will, it is not to be understood as permission in the moral sense of His granting us a moral right. His permission gives us the power, but not the right to sin. The third way the Bible speaks of the will of God is with respect to God's will of disposition. This will describes God's attitude. It defines what is pleasing to Him. For example, God takes no delight in the death of the wicked, yet He most surely wills or decrees the death of the wicked. God's ultimate delight is in His own holiness and righteousness. When He judges the world, He delights in the vindication of His own righteousness and justice, yet He is not gleeful in a vindictive sense toward those who receive His judgment. God is pleased when we find our pleasure in obedience. He is sorely displeased when we are disobedient. Many Christians become preoccupied or even obsessed with finding the "will" of God for their lives. If the will we are seeking is His secret, hidden, or decretive will, then our quest is a fool's errand. The secret counsel of God is His secret. He has not been pleased to make it known to us. Far from being a mark of spirituality,the quest for God's secret will is an unwarranted invasion of God's privacy. God's secret counsel is none of our business. This is partly why the Bible takes such a negative view of fortune-telling, necromancy, and other forms of prohibited practices. We would be wise to follow the counsel of John Calvin when he said, "When God closes His holy mouth, I will desist from inquiry." The true mark of spirituality is seen in those seeking to know the will of God that is revealed in His preceptive will. It is the godly person who meditates on God's law day and night. While we seek to be "led" by the Holy Spirit, it is vital to remember that the Holy Spirit is primarily leading us into righteousness. We are called to live our lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. It is His revealed will that is our business, indeed, the chief business of our lives. Summary 1. The three meanings of the will of God: (a) Sovereign decretive will, the will by which God brings to pass whatsoever He decrees. This is hidden to us until it happens. (b) Preceptive will is God's revealed law or commandments, which we have the power but not the right to break. (c) Will of disposition describes God's attitude or disposition. It reveals what is pleasing to Him. 2. God's sovereign "permission" of human sin is not His moral approval. |

696 | God sought Moses to kill him | Ex 4:24 | azurelaw | 198374 | ||
Dear Doc, I have also heard of similar assertion before concerning the good and evil. With the explanation of Jonathan Edwards which you have put as arguably, I would like to ask for further comments (if possible). How should we understand the situation base on JE's notion in the Eden before the fall of Adam and Eve as per the below : 1/ If Eden was in perfect condition and absent from evil, then the knowledge of God and their happiness would be imperfect. 2/ Could the complete knowledge (the forbidden tree of knowledge) of God be restricted for the perfect hapiness of human (not only to test their obedience)? Did I make my questions clear? Hope to learn more. Thanks. Shalom Azure |

697 | why did God wait ? | Ex 4:24 | azurelaw | 207796 | ||
Dear vblocal, Welcome to the forum. The Bible does not explain "why" (in terms of the timing) for this particular event. However, we are taught in the Bible that He has His own timing which is perfect, good and for His own glory. (John 12:27-28, John 17:1, Rom 8:28) Eccl 3:1 There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven-- Shalom Azure |

Dear mot, See v26 for the answer. Moses did not follow the circumcision covenant (Gen 17:10-14). This could be due to his wife Zipporah was a Midianite (Ex 2:16) who would have just disregard the Israelite rules and norms. Shalom Azure |
