321 | Rule and Reign over What? | 1 Cor 6:3 | keliy | 210998 | ||
Hello Cheri, I am not claiming to have the definitive answer, just opening up for more discussion. The verse above, and the preceding, 1 Cor 6:2 support your query. Also Matt 19:28 speaks of Jesus' followers judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Besides the White Throne Judgement, there is also another judgement spoken of, the Bema Seat judgement. The Bema Seat judgment does not determine salvation. This is when we must give an account of our lives to Christ. This is also known as the Judement Seat of Christ, which is explained in 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 We should not look upon the Bema Seat as Christ judging us for our sins, because we have been made righteous through His work on the cross. This judgement is where God rewards us according to our lives. Shalom, keliy |

Many thanks Cheri. I am trying to look into this verse from an end times prophecy angle. There does seem to be some parallels, -but they also seem to be a stretch. Thanks for keeping me in context. Lord bless, keliy |

A gratuitous Shalom to you, Cheri. The concept of Babylon is hard for me to grasp. Is this talking about literal Babylon, the city? Or, figurative babylon, which represents the false religious elements of the earth, Or possibly, the mysterious Babylon the great, the mother of all Harlots? 1Pet 5:13 states, She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, and so does my son, Mark. (NASB) In appreciation, Keliy |

God's Blessings to you as well, Senicienta; You are doing fine, thank you for sharing with us on the Forum. We all started at the same place in computers as well as in Bible study. That place of course, was as 'a beginner'. Keep up the good work, and remember, if God leads you to it, He will lead you through it. It is always a pleasure to hear from you. Grace and Peace to you. keliy |

326 | Why did Moses' send his wife to Midian | Ex 4:25 | keliy | 210777 | ||
Okay, I meant his own family, brothers and sisters notwithstanding. As for speculation on Scripture, I have read many commentaries, take Revelation for instance. It is possible to pick up the works of 10 commentators and get no less than 12 explanations of the verses. May I ask you, are you at odds with them as well? Do you judge me for doing my best, if my best is not faultless? If there is no response to a query, is it wrong to start a dilogue with my best understandings, or would we actually fare better to leave well enough alone? Speaking alethes in agape, keliy |

328 | The Blind leading the blind | Mark 8:18 | keliy | 210774 | ||
Hello daverobertsjr my friend in correspondance and brother in the Lord. You seem confused about Jesus' authority when you ask, "How could Jesus be critical of the tradition of washing hands before eating and then insinuate that the command of death should still be valid?" Firstly, Jesus was not critical of the washings of hands tradition, it was the scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, "Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread." So, you see? Jesus was not critical of that at all. Nor does our all-knowing Lord insinuate anything, ever. When you say Jesus insinuated that the command of death should still be valid, You may be guilty of placing your wisdom above God's, who is our Heavenly Father. I hope that it is a mere misunderstanding, and seeking for an answer. That would be a good thing. It is Matt 5:22 that says, "But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire." The sin of cursing parents is opposed to the duty of honouring them. I see this at the same level as calling them names. As Jesus did not condemn the adulterous woman, neither would He condemn a rebellious child for a sin of the tongue, at that point in time. But there will be an eternal judgement, which is what I believe the Lord is referring to in the verse that you questioned. Please understand, I am not knocking your question. I really desire to receive your questions so that any misunderstandings might possibly be cleared up. Blessings, keliy |

329 | name 5 categories in Psalms? | Psalm | keliy | 210769 | ||
Hello, Tnaik; Thank you for your question. When I was first saved, I did not have any idea what to do with the Book of Psalms. Now I have studied it exstensively, and cannot seem to get enough out of these wonderful and inspiring chapters. To answer your question, Manuscript and Massoretic authorities, the Talmud as well as the ancient versions, divide the Psalms into five books. The Midrash on Ps 1:1 says "Moses gave to the Israelites the five books of the Law; and corresponding with these David gave them the five books of the Psalms." Psalms 1 - 41. Corresponding to: THE GENESIS BOOK, and CONCERNING MAN. Psalms 42 - 72. Corresponding to: THE EXODUS BOOK, and CONCERNING ISRAEL AS A NATION. Psalms 73 - 89. Corresponding to: THE LEVITICUS BOOK, and CONCERNING THE SANCTUARY. Psalms 90 - 106. Corresponding to: THE NUMBERS BOOK, and CONCURRING ISRAEL AND THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH. Psalms 107 - 150. Corresponding to: THE DEUTERONOMY BOOK,, and CONCERNING GOD AND HIS WORD. There are many other interesting features in the chapters as well. There is a web site that I got most of this information from, that I am obliged to give you here: http://members.tripod.com/(?)HarveP/Psalms.html -IN PLACE OF the question mark in the parenthesis, use the tilde, located to the left of the one, at the top of the key. Blessings to you as you search out our Lord's Word. keliy |

Hello daverobertsjr, Welcome to the Forum! The reference to blindness is not physical blindness, remember Jesus most often talked about the spiritual realm, using metaphors of the material world to help us understand. For examples of spiritual blindness, see the several passages in Like that Jesus exclaims to the Pharisees, "Woe unto you". The last one is this: Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. Lord's Blessings to you, Keliy |

331 | Similar Barak in Judges - Barack Obama. | Bible general Archive 4 | keliy | 210763 | ||
Thank you John, Your reply and Scripture reference blessed me. I will respond with a verse from St Paul's letter to the Philippians: Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Php 2:1-4 Lord Bless, keliy |

332 | Why did Moses' send his wife to Midian | Ex 4:25 | keliy | 210762 | ||
Greetings, senicienta, Welcome, and thank you for your question. It seems as though he had sent them back, probably from the inn where his wife’s aversion to the circumcision of her son could have likely cost him his life. See 4:24, "And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him." He presumed there would be difficulty in the Pharaoh's court, and decided not to take any along with him of his own family, the protection of them is likely only one reason, another possibility is that he sent them to his father-in law, fearing they may become a further hindrance, or maybe Pharaoh could have used their presence as a bargaining tool against Moses. Other possibilities are likely as well. keliy |

333 | can salvation be lost? | Rev 2:1 | keliy | 210759 | ||
Linda, I guess this is where we bobbleheads continue to pray for discernement, ;o) as in your prior post. I feel that it pleases the Lord when we pray to Him for discernment, because it proves our reliance on Him by humbly admitting our inferiority, and it also applauds Him for His boundless knowledge, and grace. blessings, keliy ps, Sorry for the delay in answering, my career has shifted into crunch-time mode. |

Hi Saved4ever. I understand where your curiosity became energized, It happens to me at times, too. But, sometimes we need to look at the Big Picture, and not become guilty of changing the landscape over one landmark. I would suggest that it is NO coincidence at all. The main objection that I have, is that Obama allegedly has a plan in place that will divide Israel, giving part of the land to Palestine. OK, No more politics. This man is not only in need of much prayer, but our country, as well as the nation of Israel is also in need of much prayer. I would like to bring up Romans 13:1 which states, "Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God." So, Since to disobey authority is to disobey God, we must all trust in God alone and praise Him for His plan for our Salvation and trust in faith that His ways are better than ours. This, from Book of Psalms, Psa 118:4-8 Oh let those who fear the LORD say, "His lovingkindness is everlasting." From my distress I called upon the LORD; The LORD answered me and set me in a large place. The LORD is for me; I will not fear; What can man do to me? The LORD is for me among those who help me; Therefore I will look with satisfaction on those who hate me. It is better to take refuge in the LORD Than to trust in man. Finally, There is no word in the Hebrew language that would translate as 'coincidence' -so I would say that there are no co-incidences, only God -incidences. Blessings 4 ever, keliy |

Hi lgillems, welcome to the Forum and thank you for your question. Let's start with the above verse, you can sense the idea that the inspired author was attempting to convey. There are very many different ways that very many people interpret the Word of God. When plain sense makes the most sense... -well, we are not here to make judgements, so let the scripture verses speak to you for themselves. Since you came to this particular forum for an answer to your curiosity, it is likely that you are interested more than what just men and women in this world have to say, but what is the feelings of our Lord and Creator, as revealed through His Word. Remember, -It is always best to pray first to quiet your soul before you read the Word of God, and then you are better able to receive your answer. The common argument against the type of sin that involve body piercing as well as tattoos is that the bodies of Christians are the temples of the Lord. This happens when Christ is accepted as Savior. The Lord dwells in them, and they understand that they have received their body from God. This is the picture of a temple: —a place where God dwells, and sacred to his use, by his own claim and his creature’s surrender. Here is a companion passage for reflection, from the Book of Romans. Rom 6:16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? Rom 6:17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, Rom 6:18 and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. Rom 6:19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification. Rom 6:20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. Rom 6:21 Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. Rom 6:22 But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. May our Lord bless you and guide you in your decisions as you seek Him. Keliy |

Hi Doc, I am sorry, but it seems you have missed my point and I should have been more thorough at the outset. Please read the post I have just finished, for jhetrick. It discusses using Scripture in places where it was not meant to be used by the original, inspired author. -As you cite Matt 7:6, who are you referring to as dogs and swine? We are talking about those who are trying to gain a place at the table, as well as a relationship with our Savior, who withheld nothing of Himself for the benefit of us sinners. (Can you imagine the bewilderment on the faces of the apostles after the meal was finished and Jesus began to wash their feet?) In His unfailing love, keliy |
