21 | Is the Christian under Law? | Ex 1:1 | fatherchuck | 12866 | ||
What Scriptures did God use to convict Adam of sin? Cain? Abraham? Isaac? Jacob? The purpose of the Law is to reveal the sin that is in us, to show us our need to be saved from the penalty of breaking the law, not to set up a standard whereby we measure our growth in our righteousness. That was the mistake of the jews, that they used the law to establish their own righteousness rather than recognize the sin in them. The result was that their relationship was with a dead law rather than the Living God. |

22 | Is the Christian under Law? | Ex 1:1 | fatherchuck | 12926 | ||
The error of the pharisees wasn't that they didn't embrace the higher morality of the law but that they were spiritually dead. Rom 3:9-20. The reason that David embraced the law was because he was a partaker of the Holy Spirit. Is ones relationship with God established through the law, or is the law established through ones relationship with God? |

23 | Is the Christian under Law? | Ex 1:1 | fatherchuck | 12946 | ||
Good! I thought we were more in agreement than not. By establish I meant that Gods law becomes my hearts rule/guide because it is the expression of God's heart. And because His Spirit, the HOLY Spirit resides in my spirit! | ||||||
24 | "seal of God" | Ex 1:1 | fatherchuck | 13104 | ||
We are the ones who determine our eternal destiny by choosing to receive God's grace through the sacrifice of His Son or By refusing the same. He simply enforces the consequences of our choice.Rev. 14:9-11 is very clear that all who receive the mark are condemned. If that mark is worshipping on sunday then all who worship on sunday are condemned regardless of their belief in Christ? Aren't you adding something to the FINISHED work of Christ by doing this? | ||||||
25 | "seal of God" | Ex 1:1 | fatherchuck | 13107 | ||
Facinating reading, thank you! Is your relationship with God based on keeping the law? All 613 of them? | ||||||
26 | "seal of God" | Ex 1:1 | fatherchuck | 13262 | ||
But if I may point out. All of this is useless if the mark of the beast is worshiping Christ on sunday. For all who receive the mark of the beast are condemned. By your interpretation ones destiny is determined by which day one worships on. So are all christians who worship on sunday and have a saving relationship with Christ then condemned? Again that seems to be adding a requirement to the work of Christ. | ||||||
27 | "seal of God" | Ex 1:1 | fatherchuck | 13326 | ||
Perhaps I misunderstand, but where do you find that the laws that require sacrifice were " man made"? God didn't stop speaking after He gave the first ten and tell Moses to continue on. He gave the whole law without division. And he who lives under the Law is required to do ALL of the law. Gal 5:3 |

28 | "seal of God" | Ex 1:1 | fatherchuck | 13327 | ||
I don't think it should be an issue either, but it certainly becomes one if a christian who worships Christ on sunday is accepting the mark of the antichrist by doing so. And is eternally condemned for worshipping Christ on the wrong day. |

29 | Should Children Die For Parent's Sin? | Deut 24:16 | fatherchuck | 11036 | ||
Sin is not self contained. While each is held accountable for their own sin, the consequences of ones sins are not limited to the one who commits the sin. Adam and Eve sinned, all died. David sinned, the consequences of that sin tragicaly affected many beyond himself. The primary responsibility rests with the one who sins, but the consequences often cause loss to others. Ex 20:5 and Deu 5:9 in context is a contrast demonstrating God's nature. ...Visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the THIRD and FOURTH generations of those who hate Me, BUT showing lovingkindness( a covenant term) to THOUSANDS, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. It's purpose to demonstrate Who God is. That He limits the consequences of the fathers sins to the third and fourth generation, but shows lovingkindness( a covenant term)to THOUSANDS who love Him. It also shows what the consequences are of one's choice, whether to love the Lord or hate Him. |

30 | What was Eli's son's sin against God? | 1 Sam 2:25 | fatherchuck | 11624 | ||
Ver 17..."for the men abhorred the offering of the Lord." Ver 24... "ye make the Lord's people to transgress." Eli's sons served as priests also and were therefore representatives of God to the people. Responsible to teach the people who God was and what His laws were. By their behavior they were expressing contempt for God's offerings, contempt for God. Sleeping with the women who served, was turning God's tabernacle into a house of prostitution. All of this before the nation of Israel to whom they were to be examples of righteousness, to represent God before Israel. In short they were taking God's name in vain in a very blatant manner, a sin that God promises will not go unpunished. Ex 20:7 |
||||||
31 | What was Eli's son's sin against God? | 1 Sam 2:25 | fatherchuck | 11736 | ||
I wonder if Eli's warning wasn't more self serving than genuine for he is rebuked by the Lord in verse 29 for also partaking in removing the best of every offering for themselves, and in 3:13 for honoring his sons above the Lord. I question whether a righteous parent would make an idol out of their children as apparently Eli had done. |

32 | Why not mention the other attributes? | Job 1:9 | fatherchuck | 11927 | ||
Because the whole thrust of Satan's argument was that these attributes of Job weren't genuine. Job only displayed these qualities to gain benefit from God and when the benefits ceased so would the qualities of righteousness. But he was wrong, as usual. | ||||||
33 | No Rules, Just Right! | Ps 34:8 | fatherchuck | 16952 | ||
God is good because He is God. Look it up in the dictionary under good and you will find Him there.He is good because that is His Nature, He cannot be otherwise. He can no more do wrong than you could stop your heart and hold your breath till you died. He is the standard for good by which all other goodness is to be judged. Gold is gold because it posesses the properties of gold, not because it obeys the rules for gold. And it obeys the rules for gold because it already has the properties of gold. So also is God good. As for man's goodness being determined by the law... not hardly. The law establishes man's sinfulness, shows man how far he is already from the goodness of which God is the standard. Man without the law is not good, but simply without accountability. The law does not create sin, it reveals the sin that is already in man. Now for God, no, there are no rules for Him. He doesn't need them! Fatherchuck |

34 | God and Law | Ps 34:8 | fatherchuck | 17057 | ||
Yes, the ten commandments are an expression of Who He is, but He is much more than that. They are internalized in Him ,but again they are not the fullest expression of His Nature. That would be Jesus. The law is good being an expression of God's moral nature, but it exposes the fallen nature of man by the contrast between the two. The law was also given to teach man what was good and to give man a standard by which to judge good and evil. Blessings on you |

35 | There is no impossible with GOD? | Ps 34:8 | fatherchuck | 17058 | ||
He requires no rules to govern His conduct. He is by nature good and therefore rules are not relevant to Him except as a means by which He may reveal Himself to man. Being God He can do anything that He chooses to do, but His choices are the expressions of His nature which is essentially good. Chuck |

36 | There is no impossible with GOD? | Ps 34:8 | fatherchuck | 17059 | ||
I know this isn't fair, but He did die, on a cross in Jerusalem, about 2000 years ago. But He just was to full of Life to stay dead. |

37 | There is no impossible with GOD? | Ps 34:8 | fatherchuck | 17119 | ||
I think I stand corrected. Thanks for the lesson. Chuck |

38 | Why Doesn't God Desire Sacrifices? | Ps 51:16 | fatherchuck | 11018 | ||
Good news/bad news( depending on where you are with Him) Steve. The good news is that God does still require sacrifices and gives extensive instructions on what, how, when, and where they are to be presented. Bad(?) news.. Rom.12:1, you're it! The instructions start with the Gospels and continue on through the epistles. Our daily lives are to be the sacrifice. Jesus said that unless we carry our cross( an instrument of sacrifce) daily, we cannot be His disciples. Perhaps it was this personal sacrifice that caused many of the jews to stumble, for it is much easier to give material possessions than to give ones life.As the enemy said to God about Job," all that a man has he will give for his life" It is this life that God requires as our sacrifice. |

39 | Who was the Proverbs 31 wife? | Prov 31:10 | fatherchuck | 12318 | ||
My vote would go for Leah, Jacob's wife and Hannah Elkanah's wife. Both women were sorely tried by their adversaries and their responses were to turn to the Lord rather than turn on their adversary or their husbands. Look them up! |

40 | Why Babylon to punish righteous Israel? | Habakkuk | fatherchuck | 10907 | ||
Who do you suggest that He use? The angels? That Israel was more righteous than the Babylonians is not borne out in scripture. Indeed they were more guilty before God than Babylon, because they had His laws, the prophets, the priests, everything needed to put them in a right relationship with Him. All of which they ignored. All of which they used to rationalize their disobedience. After all God would surely not destroy His own temple, he surely would not allow the heathen to capture the Ark of the Covenant. That He would use nations that were ungodly was a further rebuke to the Israelites who considered themselves above the other nations and holding such an exalted position in God's eyes that God wouldn't bring them to account for their sins. They didn't really believe that He is no respecter of persons, or nations. | ||||||
