381 | Are your answers authoritative? | Bible general Archive 2 | prayon | 95119 | ||
Greetings Darcy, I disagree. Every forum needs a group to watch over it. Many times there are Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, atheists, ect. on this forum that attempt to lure baby Christians who do not know the Word over to their 'denomination'. So if only for the sake of these babies a forum needs to be overseen. prayon | ||||||

384 | Why was Cain's offering unacceptable? | Gen 4:3 | prayon | 93997 | ||
Greetings jip and welcome to the forum, Cain's sacrifice was not acceptable because he came to God his way instead of coming God's way. The word offering here means minchaah min-khaw is from an unused root meaning to apportion, that is, bestow; a donation; euphemistically tribute; specifically a sacrificial offering (usually bloodless and voluntary): gift, oblation, (meat) offering, present, sacrifice (Strongs 4503). We know that God requires a blood sacrifice which Cain did not give. It is possible this is why the offering was unacceptable. It is also debated that He did not accept it because Cain may have been somewhat careless or indifferent. We must always go to God with the right attitude. prayon |

385 | What about an abusif husband? | Ephesians | prayon | 93607 | ||
Greetings paulie and welcome to the forum, Eph 5:21 says that a husband and wife should "be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ". This is talking of a godly relationship not one where one party is abusive to the other. Christ's relationship to the church was one of servanthood of all who followed Him and He gave Himself up for them. Never did He order people around, threaten, hit or frighten them. Another scripture Col 3:19 says that husbands are to love their wives and do not be harsh with them. If the man is not fulfilling his responsibility or obligation as a husband the wife is not obligated to be a dorrmat for him. Jesus does not expect a woman to stay and tolerate the abuse. The wife's obligation is to provide for her safety and the safety of the children. In any sort of abuse, whether it be physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, the children are subjected to that abuse and will pay the price later in life if not at the present. In addition if the abuse cycle is not ended it will continue through the children to their spouses. It is better to remove them from the abuse rather than to allow them to be harmed. She is accountable to God for her children and the way they are raised. I am assuming that since this is a 15 year marriage that the children are older children. Children are vulnerable. They will desperately need counceling too. Nothing creates anger in children as quickly as abuse by parents or parent to parent abuse. Abuse in any form is a vicious cycle that needs to be stopped. Encourage this woman to seek Christian counceling. If intuitively she does not want to speak to her own pastor then there is probably good reason. If the pastor encourages her to be a "better wife" or to stay where she is at or even to lift up the abuse to the Lord (remaining where she is) then this person will not be a good resource for her. Remember ministers ususally have not received any formal training on the subject and have no comprehension about what she is going through. It is a good idea to contact a shelter for abused women. They will have different names for people who will be able to help. May God Give this woman courage and strength in her time of trial. prayon |

387 | Homesexuality? Wrong? | Lev 20:18 | prayon | 93016 | ||
Greetings Journey, In a previous answer I stated: Greetings, Strong's dictionary defines "lie" as:A primitive root; to lie down (for rest, sexual connection, decease or any other purpose): - X at all, cast down, ([over-]) lay (self) (down), (make to) lie (down, down to sleep, still, with), lodge, ravish, take rest, sleep, stay (7901). It is very possible that one could twist the meaning of the word "lie" to fit their need, however, I refer you to 1Cor 6:9-10: "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, """"""""nor homosexuals,"""""""""" nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. Lev 18:22 Never have sexual intercourse with a man as with a woman. It is disgusting. (God's Word) I don't think it can be made much plainer than this. Another proof that adultry is a sin is found in Rom 1:27 - Likewise, their men have given up natural sexual relations with women and burn with lust for each other. Men commit indecent acts with men, so they experience among themselves the punishment they deserve for their perversion. Yet another proof can be found in 1Tim 1:10 - 1Ti 1:10 Laws are intended for people involved in sexual sins, for homosexuals, for kidnappers, for liars, for those who lie when they take an oath, and for whatever else is against accurate teachings. Here Paul likens them to kidnappers and liars. In addition Gen 19 tells the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. All the male citizens of Sodom wanted Lot to send out the angels so that they could have sex with them. Lot called them evil. The bible has been quite clear on the subject of homosexuality. Those who practice it are blinded to the Word of God and walk with the unrighteous. You can find much more by typing "homosexual" into the search window. prayon |

389 | Literal or Not? | Matt 19:4 | prayon | 92933 | ||
Greetings journey, You asked how do we distinguish metaphors, parables, and symbols. May I recommend a book by R.C. Sproul "Knowing Scripture". It goes through all the principles of bible interpretation. Throughout the bible all symbols have the same meaning. When applying the principles it helps to give you a much deeper and easier understanding. prayon |

The old testament should also be viewed as a learning tool. It can help us to understand the new covenant we are under. For example, the OT tells us why Jesus had to die the way he died. prayon |

394 | SHOULD CHRISTIANS EAT PORK AND SEAFOOD? | Ezek 22:26 | prayon | 92653 | ||
Greetings Lorranbow, Acts 9:23 tells us of a vision that Peter: The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.” And a voice spoke to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed you must not call common.” This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again. These verses are believed to release us from eating that which was unclean in Lev and Deu. prayon |

395 | sharp tongues | Eph 6:19 | prayon | 92652 | ||
Greetings Brad, Here are some additional verses: Psa 64:3-6 Sharp tongues are the swords they wield; bitter words are the arrows they aim. They shoot from ambush at the innocent, attacking suddenly and fearlessly. They encourage each other to do evil and plan how to set their traps. “Who will ever notice?” they ask. As they plot their crimes, they say, “We have devised the perfect plan!” Yes, the human heart and mind are cunning. Prov 17:20 He who has a deceitful heart finds no good, And he who has a perverse tongue falls into evil. Pro 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. Pro 21:23 Whoever guards his mouth and tongue Keeps his soul from troubles. prayon |

Greetings FytRobert, It is absolutely NOT in line with the Word! The strongest word the bible uses in the negative sense is abomination. Lev 18:22 tells us that for a man to lie with a woman it is an abomination tp the Lord. I really wonder how they can ignore that part of the word of God. prayon |

399 | who/what are the twelve tribes? | Gen 49:28 | prayon | 92095 | ||
Greetings Teemac and welcoe to the forum, The 12 tribes of Israel originated with the 10 of the 11 sons of Jacob. Joseph, his 11th son was given a double portion. Because of this the last 2 members of the tribes were his two sons Ephraim and Manassas. Each son was given a different prophetic message from Jacob (see Gen 49). Each person became the head of a tribe that was given a different allotment of land when they reached the promised land except for Levi who became head of the priests and were not given any land. prayon |

400 | Describe Jesus in Matt and John. | NT general Archive 1 | prayon | 91702 | ||
Greetings Jaanie and welcome to the forum. Each gospel portrays Jesus in a different way. Matthew which was written about 60 AD presents Jesus as the might king and emphasizes the power of Christ. It is a teaching gospel and portays Jesus as a lion (see Eze 1:10). The book ends with His resurrection. Mark is believed to be the first gospel written about 58AD. I presents Jesus as an obedient servant and emphasizes the service of Christ. It is a narrative gospel full of action. It portrays Jesus as a ox and the book ends with the ascension. Luke was written after Matthew and presents Jesus as the ideal Son of Man. It emphasizes the sympathy of Christ and is carefully documented. It portrays Jesus as a man and ends with the coming of the Holy Spirit. John was the last gospel written about 98 AD. It presents Jesus as the divine Son of God and emphasizes the wisdom of Christ. It is the spiritual gospel and portrays Jesus as an eagle. It ends with the return of Jesus to earth. Matthew, Mark and Luke are called the synoptic gospels and take a common view of the life of Christ emphasizing the His humanity. John's gospel emphasizes His diety. Hope this helps. prayon |
