If a peircing is ok do you think it is ok to 65 ears old Christian to have it his/her belly and go to church? Do you think this really a christian attitude? Le 21:5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. You mentioned in your comments that God judge us not in our appearrance but in hour hearts. So maybe it is also ok to go church naked? God will not judge us in appearance right? God is not affected in our appearance He is holy, but how about our co-churches the people around us do you think they believed you are a christain going to the church naked? I am not saying that you said it is ok to go naked but the peircing is the same thing. I dont think a good Christian will put piercing in her belly so she can glorified God. God gave us standards of how we can glorify Him, and I am sure it is not to put piercing in her belly. Mt 5:13 ¶ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Mt 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Mt 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Mt 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. We are the salt for mankind, we are the light for mankind, we shine before men and see our good works, and glorify our Father in Heaven. Do you think piercing in our belly will show how good Christian we are? I dont think so. You have to be a good example to mankind. What do you think the reason why President George Bush did not put piercing in his nose eyebrow and to his belly? He wants respect! as a Christian we need respect and show respect in our selves. I am glad that my pastors dont do peircing in thier belly. God bless, |

As a Christian we have to set as a good example! I agree that God will not judge as in our appearance but as we can agree go to church naked it not good to our co-churches and communities! Piercing is the same thing, I dont think a very good and faithful christian will do peircing in thier belly. If it good I am sure apostle will do that and taught that. Mt 5:13 ¶ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Mt 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Mt 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Mt 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. God bless |

EdB, I think you explain it very clear, thanks for that shang pleg should read your post to me (i hope he will) You are right about tatoos and piercing in our society today, I fell sorry for them too, but what I am very upset is the people which is a member in this forum encourage instead of discourage the wrong practices. Thanks for your comments, if I encountered the same question again, I will quote this statement of yours. God bless, |

quote "I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?" - Gal. 3:2-3 quote. I received the Holy Spirit because of my faith to Christ Jesus, and because I receiv ed the Holy Spirit I am not trying to be his temple and to make sure that I can attain that I will not do piercing in my belly or tattoes all over my body. I am not observing the law, I am trying to obey the will of the Father. Mt 7:21 ¶ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. If piercing and tattoe for you is the will of ther Father, it is your decision. I believed what I read in the Bible. Am I attaining my goal by human effort NO! I do it because I am "created in Christ Jesus unto good works" and I should walk with Him. I know that piercing and tattoo are not included to them. Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Good works are important commandments of Christ. 1Co 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. "even you have all the faith" without charity you are nothing. I am sure that tatoo and peircing is about charity. Jas 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. So you have faith, what works we'd like to do? tattoo? piercing? I dont think so! What prove do you have to show your faith? for having tattoo? God bless, |

Tim, Maybe, but I make it as example because shang said God is not after for our appearance, so it is the same that nakedness is not important too. I just want to show that as a Christian we should act as a Christian live with it Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. If I am His workmanship, I dont think tatoo or piercing will do for me. I dont think a faithful Christian a very respected pastors and evangelist will do it or practice it, for what? Do you think we can earn respect or are a light for the world if we do that? Mt 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. I dont say that if you have tattoo you will be in hell, if have that before knowing Christ I think it is acceptable because before you dont know it, but after knowing Christ, received His salvation then you still love to have tattoo, it is a different thing. God bless, |

Sang_Phleg, I hope pastors in your community dont display piercing in thier belly, I hope when they gather in the sunday school they dont compare thier tattoo and piercing before they proceeds to the service? I hope so! What do you think the reason would be if a very faithful Christian will do piercing and tattoo, do you think this is the best good works they can offer to thier community. Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. I is written in that passages that a Christian is a workmanship of Christ, I cant see how a workmanship of Christ would love piercing and tattoo. Christ specified things we must do if we love Him. Joh 14:15 ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments. I dont see listed in His commandments that a faithful Christian must do tattoo or piercing enable to show the world that they love Christ. God bless, |

Sang, I think EdB did not say that we have to reject those people that has tattoo or peiercing. What we really discuss here is that it is not appropriate for a Christian to show to the world that he/she still doing piercing or putting rings in her belly because it is not really a Christian act. When we started this discussion we already agree that the one doing it is a christian and not those outside (not converted yet). But if you said that it is ok for a faithful Christian to put rings to her belly, tattoo or whatsoever, I will strongly disagree with that. God mention many things about his will and how to keep his commandments, piercing and tattoo are not belong to them. In rejecting people with tattoo NO! we are not talking about them, we are talking about the Christian that would still love to do such a thing. me myself has a small tattoo in my neck I got this when I was 12 years old, that time I have no idea about tattoo if it is bad or what. After I received Christ and starting reading the Bible that is the only time I knew it but what can I do it there already but I got it when I dont know yet about Christ. God bless, |

We are talking about the Christian that would love to have tattoo after receiving Christ, it is not appropriate to a faithful Christian to go church show his belly with rings or show his tattoo and whatsoever. But if they got that befre receiving Christ and dont know about it what we can do. What we really discussing is those who already a Christian (faithful) I dont think they will love to have one. We are not rejecting those people that have it what we are saying is "if someone already a believer" I dont think he will like to have that peiercing in her belly. If you can say almost of the people who love to have earings in thier belly and have a volumes tattoo are addicts. So if you are going to convince me that my beloved pastors somedy would love to have tattoo and earings in his belly would be ok. I dont think so! God bless, |

It is important! because if someone will tell me how he was faithful to Christ, then he love to put earings on her belly volumes of tatto in her body. I dont believed on Him. we are the light of the world, we have to set a good example, peircing and tattoo will not show you as a good Christian. God bless, |

Tim, I dont think being a light to the world will do with piercing and tattoo, I dont think a faithful servart of Christ will love to have those things as part of holiness. I dont believe a 70 years old pastors will be approriate and will do a good example doing those things, even it a matter of choices. God bless, |

351 | When ever you want to | Ex 21:10 | jlpangilinan | 102753 | ||
it is not a common custom to have sex out of marriage or having more than one wives anyone in OT. it is the heart of the people hard and always wanting to do that. For example God prohibit even to eat the fruit of forbidden tree but it happened. God even in OT want God the person to have only one wife: Ge 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. "and shall cleave unto his wife" not unto his wives "and they shall be one flesh" the two shall be one flesh, and four wives will be "one flesh" David was punished because of his immoral relationship with bathseba, his son was died and even david ready to accept if the Lord will take his life. It means it is not really a common to have immoral life. 2Sa 12:13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. God forgive david when he repent. Christ said that having more than one wives is not a custom even in OT: Mt 19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? Mt 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. Will see that because of the "hardness of thier heart" moses done a writing of law in divorcement. But in the beginning it was not so. Why it is because it so serious of NT? because it is the law of Christ, and Christ want us to leave in Holiness. 1Th 4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. As He said He made a new covenant for us not according to thier fathers: Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

352 | what does this mean Exodus 22:16 | Ex 22:16 | jlpangilinan | 14498 | ||
I don't know if I can answer what you would want to know. King James version: Exodus 22:16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. IF YOU BOTHERED BY THE TERM "MAID" IT IS A MEDIEVAL TERM FOR "VIRGIN" OR "LADY" LIKE "MAID MARRIANE" IT MEANS "VIRGIN". I PUT HERE OTHER TRANSLATIONS I hope it would help: Ex 22:16 If a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed and lies with her, he shall pay the "bride price" and marry her. I am also using King James Version, but sometimes if the term is very hard for me to understand I did consult other translation. I hope I answered your question. Ex 22:16 |

354 | Why Nadab and Abihu to go up mountain | Ex 24:1 | jlpangilinan | 24125 | ||
Ex 24:1 ¶ And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off. Ex 24:2 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him. The reason why because they are son of Aaron they worshiper of God. They accompany Moses, and they worship form afar off. It is only Moses went near the lord. Nadan and Abihu both died when they offer strange fire to the Lord: Le 10:1 ¶ And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not. Le 10:2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. ABIHU father of Him; i.e., "worshipper of God", the second of the sons of Aaron (Ex 6:23; Nu 3:2; 26:60; 1Ch 6:3). Along with his three brothers he was consecrated to the priest's office (Ex 28:1). With his father and elder brother he accompanied the seventy elders part of the way up the mount with Moses. Nadab liberal, generous. (1.) The eldest of Aaron's four sons (Ex 6:23; Nu 3:2). He with his brothers and their father were consecrated as priests of Jehovah (Ex 28:1). He afterwards perished with Abihu for the sin of offering strange fire on the altar of burnt-offering (Le 10:1-2; Nu 3:4; 26:60). God bless, Johnny |

355 | What's the role of the ark in the future | Ex 25:10 | jlpangilinan | 22813 | ||
It is mentions twice in the New Testament. I dont know it is still has a big play for the future. Heb 9:4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; Re 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. I heard also this to some pastors that in Armagedon it has big role for the Israelites, but it seems its not documented. They maybe adopt the practice of Josua in Jericho that Ark has a big role to destroy that City. Some Bible dictionary mentioned it is not found: 1Ki 8:6-9). When the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem and plundered the temple, the ark was probably taken away by Nebuchadnezzar and destroyed, as no trace of it is afterwards to be found. The absence of the ark from the second temple was one of the points in which it was inferior to the first temple. Thanks, Johnny |

356 | Describe the ark of the covenant. | Ex 25:10 | jlpangilinan | 22814 | ||
The sacred ark is designated by a different Hebrew word, 'aron', which is the common name for a chest or coffer used for any purpose (Ge 50:26; 2Ki 12:9-10). It is distinguished from all others by such titles as the "ark of God" (1Sa 3:3), "ark of the covenant" (Jos 3:6; Heb 9:4), "ark of the testimony" (Ex 25:22). It was made of acacia or shittim wood, a cubit and a half broad and high and two cubits long, and covered all over with the purest gold. Its upper surface or lid, the mercy-seat, was surrounded with a rim of gold; and on each of the two sides were two gold rings, in which were placed two gold-covered poles by which the ark could be carried (Nu 7:9; 10:21; 4:5,19-20; 1Ki 8:3,6). Over the ark, at the two extremities, were two cherubim, with their faces turned toward each other (Le 16:2; Nu 7:89). Their outspread wings over the top of the ark formed the throne of God, while the ark itself was his footstool (Ex 25:10-22; 37:1-9). The ark was deposited in the "holy of holies," and was so placed that one end of the poles by which it was carried touched the veil which separated the two apartments of the tabernacle (1Ki 8:8). The two tables of stone which constituted the "testimony" or evidence of God's covenant with the people (De 31:26), the "pot of manna" (Ex 16:33), and "Aaron's rod that budded" (Nu 17:10), were laid up in the ark (Heb 9:4). (See Tabernacle) The ark and the sanctuary were "the beauty of Israel" (La 2:1). During the journeys of the Israelites the ark was carried by the priests in advance of the host (Nu 4:5-6; 10:33-36; Ps 68:1; 132:8). It was borne by the priests into the bed of the Jordan, which separated, opening a pathway for the whole of the host to pass over (Jos 3:15-16; 4:7,10-11,17-18). It was borne in the procession round Jericho (Jos 6:4,6,8,11-12). When carried it was always wrapped in the veil, the badgers' skins, and blue cloth, and carefully concealed even from the eyes of the Levites who carried it. After the settlement of Israel in Palestine the ark remained in the tabernacle at Gilgal for a season, and was then removed to Shiloh till the time of Eli, between 300 and 400 years (Jer 7:12), when it was carried into the field of battle so as to secure, as they supposed, victory to the Hebrews, and was taken by the Philistines (1Sa 4:3-11), who sent it back after retaining it seven months (1Sa 5:7-8). It remained then at Kirjath-jearim (1Sa 7:1-2) till the time of David (twenty years), who wished to remove it to Jerusalem; but the proper mode of removing it having been neglected, Uzzah was smitten with death for putting "forth his hand to the ark of God," and in consequence of this it was left in the house of Obed-edom in Gath-rimmon for three months (2Sa 6:1-11), at the end of which time David removed it in a grand procession to Jerusalem, where it was kept till a place was prepared for it (2Sa 6:12-19). It was afterwards deposited by Solomon in the temple (1Ki 8:6-9). When the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem and plundered the temple, the ark was probably taken away by Nebuchadnezzar and destroyed, as no trace of it is afterwards to be found. The absence of the ark from the second temple was one of the points in which it was inferior to the first temple. I hope it help Johnny |

357 | What was in the Ark of the Covenant? | Ex 25:22 | jlpangilinan | 53336 | ||
Mana of aaron, the 10 commandments that made of stone (by moses)and others.

358 | Exodus 26:1...First mention of cherubim? | Ex 26:1 | jlpangilinan | 23622 | ||
The first mentioned about cherubims in the bible is in Ge 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. We know that God speak to Moses regarding cherubim we are sure that God show it to Moses of what cherubim looks like, otherwise you right how could the crafsmen or the worker from Levitas can make it if they dont know how it looks like. God give "title" Cherubim it could be a kind of angels. Because I think angels also have specific name for them i.e. Michael and other angels. Cherub plural cherubim, the name of certain symbolical figures frequently mentioned in Scripture. They are first mentioned in connection with the expulsion of our first parents from Eden (Ge 3:24). There is no intimation given of their shape or form. They are next mentioned when Moses was commanded to provide furniture for the tabernacle (Ex 25:17-20; 26:1,31). God promised to commune with Moses "from between the cherubim" (Ex 25:22). This expression was afterwards used to denote the Divine abode and presence (Nu 7:89; 1Sa 4:4; Isa 37:16; Ps 80:1; 99:1). In Ezekiel's vision (Eze 10:1-20) they appear as living creatures supporting the throne of God. From Ezekiel's description of them (Eze 1:1-28; 10:1-22; 41:18-19), they appear to have been compound figures, unlike any real object in nature; artificial images possessing the features and properties of several animals. Two cherubim were placed on the mercy-seat of the ark; two of colossal size overshadowed it in Solomon's temple. Ezekiel (Eze 1:4-14) speaks of four; and this number of "living creatures" is mentioned in Re 4:6. Those on the ark are called the "cherubim of glory" (Heb 9:5), i.e., of the Shechinah, or cloud of glory, for on them the visible glory of God rested. They were placed one at each end of the mercy-seat, with wings stretched upward, and their faces "toward each other and toward the mercy-seat." They were anointed with holy oil, like the ark itself and the other sacred furniture. The cherubim were symbolical. They were intended to represent spiritual existences in immediate contact with Jehovah. Some have regarded them as symbolical of the chief ruling power by which God carries on his operations in providence (Ps 18:10). Others interpret them as having reference to the redemption of men, and as symbolizing the great rulers or ministers of the church. Many other opinions have been held regarding them which need not be referred to here. On the whole, it seems to be most satisfactory to regard the interpretation of the symbol to be variable, as is the symbol itself. Their office was, (1) on the expulsion of our first parents from Eden, to prevent all access to the tree of life; and (2) to form the throne and chariot of Jehovah in his manifestation of himself on earth. He dwelleth between and sitteth on the cherubim (1Sa 4:4; Ps 80:1; Eze 1:26,28). God bless, Johnny |
