Hi Susan - what do you mean by "The matriarchs are superior to the patriarchs"? |

"women overruled and guided the progression of the birthright and blessing from God." Really? I thought God did that. | ||||||

I Believe that Genesis 25 might best be understood in the context of Romans 8:28. When Rebekah coached Jacob through their sin of deceit and robbery God still had full control over every single event. He didn't cause Rebekah to sin but He, having foreknowledge of it, allowed the sin and His plan was not thwarted. Does this help? | ||||||

Hi Jalek - one of the most important reasons to "read it carefully" is to ensure we don't read something into it that isn't there. It's also important that we don't assume that The Creator God is limited in ways that our logic might suggest He should be. In other words, we shouldn't assume (especially in the clear context given in the opening verses of Scripture) that God was required to put one before the other. This is why I didn't offer my own creative explanation of the first verse in Scripture. It, Scripture, speaks for itself. Still, we are given a logic to think and problem solve and even to help us understand and interpret Scripture. We are "thinking" creatures. With that said, I would argue the logical point that if something comes first (verse 1) we shouldn't attempt to put verse 5 ahead of it. If we are reading carefully we can't possibly point to verse 5 to support your point can we? Reading carefully would require that we also read the verses between 1 and 5, particularly verse 3. Verse 3 says "Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light." . Notice the adverb "then". Then in verse 4 it says "God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.". Finally, we get to verse 5 where it says that God called the light day and the darkness night declaring "one day". Without reading into the text myself or trying to say something is there that isn't there my best attempt to understand the text, as it is written, is that God created the heavens and the earth (verse 1) AFTER that He called light onto the formless void and still after that he separated that light from the darkness at which "time" (no pun intended) TIME as the earth and it's creatures would know it began. |

I understand Jalek - I would encourage you to not be distracted by that question that you still cannot answer as there are so many truths of scripture that, once answered for us, are truly edifying. The rabbit trails can appear interesting and inviting but in the end really only circle back having gone nowhere. | ||||||
390 | why are the Jews God's chosen people? | Genesis | jlhetrick | 239632 | ||
Great answer and response Doc. The question being "why are the Jews God's chosen people" is a great question to consider. We are fortunate that God Himself told us so plainly in the text you quoted from Deuteronomy leaving no doubt that it was in fact God’s sovereign choice having no dependency on the people or any single person. Your reference to Romans 3: 10-19 is well aligned with that of Ephesians 2:8-9 as well as Romans 12:3 and |

391 | who is satan? | Gen 1:1 | jlhetrick | 171862 | ||
Hello softcom, Welcome to the forum! Satan is someone much more than an angel who was cast out of Heaven for wanting to be like God. Actually, he was cast out after declaring that he WOULD BE like God (Isaiah 13:13-14) He is the one who deceives (Genesis 3: 1-7, 2Corinthians 11:14,) He has blinded the mind of unbelievers (2 Corinthians 4: 3-4). He is the tempter (Matthew 4:3) He is the one who accuses believers (Rev. 12:10), he is the adversary of believers (1 Peter 5:8). We could go on and on as the bible speaks a great deal about Satan, the Devil, the Father of Lies. But the most important thing we should know about him, is that he has been defeated by our Lord Jesus Christ (Genesis 3:15, John 19:30, Revelation 20:10) Hope this helps, Jeff |

Hello again softcom, Excuse me, but I forgot to answer one of your questions. You asked "From where did he come? John 1:1-3 (NASB95) 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. The Word was and is Jesus Christ. Satan was created by God. God bless, Jeff |

393 | How Can be a satan in heaven? | Gen 1:1 | jlhetrick | 172127 | ||
Hello again softcom, Remember that Satan was created to serve God. He was an angel in Heaven and cast down after sin was found in him. Isa 14:12-15 12 How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! 13 You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. 14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High." 15 But you are brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit. NIV After he sinned against God, he was cast down. But he continues to have some acess to heaven. Job 1:6-7 (NASB95) 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. 7 The LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" Then Satan answered the LORD and said, "From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it." Remember, God created Satan (as He did all things). Satan was an angel in Heaven under God's control and authority. Satan sinned against God. God cast him down. Satan is still an angel. God still has complete control and authority over him. Job 1:6-12 is a great passage that illustrates Satan's total dependence on God. That is, he does not move without the permission of his creator. In this passage I understand Satan as coming before the Lord for a purpose. Notice that the "sons of God" (angels) are coming to "present" themselves before God, Satan is doing the same. God asks "from where do you come", not because he doesn't know, but because Satan is required to give account to God. The rest of the passage demonstrate how God uses Satan to further build on Job's faith, endurance, and character. Satan seems to think he is getting away with something, but he is not. He only is allowed to do exactly what God permits. This includes some access to Heaven. Hope this helps, Jeff |

Hello Jamie, I hope you have read the forum rules. This is a Christian forum intended for Christian bible study. You plagiarized: "After Satan and those who fell with him were shut out of heaven, and he realized that he had forever lost all its purity and glory, he repented, and wished to be reinstated in heaven. He was willing to take his proper place, or any position that might be assigned him. But no; heaven must not be placed in jeopardy. All heaven might be marred should he be taken back; for sin originated with him, and the seeds of rebellion were within him. Both he and his followers wept, and implored to be taken back into the favor of God. But their sin--their hatred, their envy and jealousy--had been so great that God could not blot it out. It must remain to receive its final punishment." I will not post the site from which you copied and pasted this as not to promote such a thing. No where in the bible is there any such rediculous teaching. Be advised, no false teaching will be tolerated on this forum. Not by the forum members, and certainly not by the Lockman Foundation. First warning, Jeff |

Hello Lionheart, Perhaps these references might help shed some light on this. "As kings, therefore, transact their most important affairs in a solemn council or assembly, so God is pleased to represent himself as having his council likewise; and as passing the decrees of his providence in an assembly of his holy angels. We have here, in the case of Job, the same grand assembly held, as was before in that of Ahab, 1 Kings 22:6-23; the same host of heaven, called here the sons of God, presenting themselves before Jehovah, as in the vision of Micaiah they are said to stand on his right hand and on his left."—Adam Clarke's Commentary "Job 1:6 - A day - A certain time appointed by God. The sons - The holy angels, so called, Job_38:7; Dan_3:25, Dan_3:28, because of their creation by God, for their resemblance of him in power, and dignity, and holiness, and for their filial affection and obedience, to him. Before - Before his throne, to receive his commands, and to give him an account of their negotiations." (John Wesley's Explanatory Notes) "Job 1:6 - sons of God This scene is in heaven. Compare (Job_2:1-7)." (Scofield Reference Notes) "Job_1:6-12. Satan, appearing before God, falsely accuses Job. sons of God — angels (Job_38:7; 1Ki_22:19). They present themselves to render account of their “ministry” in other parts of the universe (Heb_1:14)." (JFB Commentary) "Job 1:6 - Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord,.... This is generally understood of the angels, as in Job_38:7 who may be thought to be so called, because of their creation by the father of spirits, and their likeness to God in holiness, knowledge, and wisdom, and being affectionate and obedient to him; as also on account of the grace of election, and confirmation in" (John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible) I would like to ask for clarification if I may. You responded to Jamie with "Your scriptural support here is solid" would you please point me to the Scripture references that support Jamie's references to: "After Satan and those who fell with him were shut out of heaven, and he realized that he had forever lost all its purity and glory, he repented, and wished to be reinstated in heaven. He was willing to take his proper place, or any position that might be assigned him. But no; heaven must not be placed in jeopardy. All heaven might be marred should he be taken back; for sin originated with him, and the seeds of rebellion were within him. Both he and his followers wept, and implored to be taken back into the favor of God. But their sin--their hatred, their envy and jealousy--had been so great that God could not blot it out. It must remain to receive its final punishment." Thanks and God Bless, Jeff |
