521 | Angels or the Cainites with Sethites? | Gen 6:2 | skccab | 198387 | ||
Shabbat shalom Jim, How could these "sons of god" be men led of the Spirit of God and righteous if they became yoked with such ungodly women as these seem to be? If they were men "led of the Spirit of God" and "righteous, calling on the name of the Lord" wouldn't they have stayed away from such a situation? It seems to me that these "sons of god" have to be something else, but what? I don't know. It just doesn't appear like they could have been men of Godly caliber. ? Trying to learn :-) Cheri |

Shalom Doc, You're absolutely right!! I'd forgotten that this was way before even the Torah was given! Cheri |

523 | further question on "Sons of God" | Gen 6:2 | skccab | 198396 | ||
Shalom Jim, I have to apologize. I answered your first post far too quickly. I used to use, way back in the '70s and 80's, a Dake Annotated and sometimes old beliefs find their way back in my mind. I'm still not too sure about how "righteous" these men were (you're note of "all men began to call upon the name of the Lord" is one I had just sort of skirted over and will have to re-read and ponder on), but they were indeed men. I had forgotten that this was before Moses and Sinai and also I had forgotten about "everything after its own kind" from Gen. 1 and 2. Wouldn't the mixture of angel and human woman be much like the donkey and horse? a mule that cannot reproduce. So, even if the "sons of god" had been angels and they did manage to produce offspring with human women, I imagine that God would have similar non-reproduction built in, and we wouldn't have the narrative in Genesis that we do have. Once again, I'm at fault here. I should not have answered so quickly. still learning Cheri |

524 | Is procreation a command or a blessing | Gen 9:1 | skccab | 198881 | ||
Shalom Azure, I'll jump in here, if you don't mind, for there is one thing that took place at this friend's marriage that hasn't been touched on - the oath, the vow, the committment. Tell your friend to do a study on how the Father feels about those things. Which is more important, fulfilling a vow, a committment or sexual gratification? Still learning, too Cheri |

525 | Is procreation a command or a blessing | Gen 9:1 | skccab | 198900 | ||
Shalom sister, Azure, Thank you for your further information - I'm sorry I misunderstood and thought it was about someone in particular. In a way your friend is right - people do tend to become very legalistic about marriage and divorce. Personally, I think one should stand by one's committment, one's promise to the other, where those types of problems exist - they can be worked through. Of course, where abuse (whether of the adults or children in the family) that's altogether another story. And I have the same question as your friend about the signing the paper part - I don't know about in your country, but here in the states sometimes older couples on social security cannot marry because they would lose much, if not all of their medical coverage, which when you're 60, 70 years old you can't live without. So I wonder about cases like that. Blessings upon you Cheri |

Gen 11:6 The Lord said, "Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them. Is that what you are looking for? Read it in context though. Cheri |

Hi Betsy, shalom, I sent my answer to you to Doc, (sorry, doc). Gen 11:6 The Lord said, "Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them. Is that what you are looking for? Read it in context though. Cheri |

hahaha Doc, don't they say, 'great people think alike???' Whew!! Guess I'm in very good company!! Now, I'll have to work on that "great" part a bit more. :-) Cheri (just joking. We're great in His greatness, yes?) |

529 | sarah and abraham children | Gen 11:30 | skccab | 193365 | ||
Hi mzdnl, The Bible says nothing about Sarah having more children - so it stands to reason that Isaac was the only child she gave birth to. After her death, Abraham remarried and had children by this second wife. |

532 | Does Jesus die for Gentile's sins too? | Gen 18:18 | skccab | 214155 | ||
Good evening Edscusa, You have some very good answers for both of your questions - but let's connect them. Nineveh was a nation of Gemtiles. Jonah was in the belly of a big fish 3days and 3nights, then relented and preached to Nineveh. The city heard and repented, and was saved from destruction. The Master was in the belly of the earth... Gentiles have always been allowed and welcomed to be a part of God's chosen people. When they attached themselves to Israel in the wilderness and in the Land, they were never to be treated as anything less than full-fledged Israelites, never ever second-class citizens. See Romans chapters 9-11. Cheri |

533 | Abram or Abraham at Ishmael's birth | Gen 22:2 | skccab | 195173 | ||
Shalom y'all, I have a simple question. I know the Biblical accounts of events are not always chronological so...when Ishmael was born, was Abraham Abraham at the time or was he still Abram? I'm thinking that he was still Abram and that would clear up my confusion about God's statement to Abraham to "take his only son, Isaac..." Cheri |

534 | Abram or Abraham at Ishmael's birth | Gen 22:2 | skccab | 195178 | ||
Thanks Doc, Yes, you did and I did read it, several times. And my congregation has begun an in-depth study of the book last week, but we've only done the introduction/foundation so far, chapter 1 next week!! I'm so excited about it. I did understand about the "son of promise" but also wondered about the timing of the name change and if that had anything to do with the statement. So thank you for clearing that up for me. :-) Cheri |

535 | Why a 'burnt offering.' | Gen 22:2 | skccab | 203357 | ||
Shalom Thomas, Let me see if I can be a bit of help for you. 'Olah - burnt offering; the smoke is the key element; it's a personal, individual offering intended to allow the worshipper to approach God, gain peace with God, to feel that God had a favorable attitude toward the worshipper. this offering was also a gift/ransom to God. Minchah - grain offering; always performed behind the 'Olah, the two go together. The reasons for this offering are similar to the 'Olah: the smoke (in fact, olah means ascending), thought that the smoke brought pleasure to Yahoveh, it's a gift to God, meant to maintain peace with God, expresses thankfulness, dedication. This offering and the 'Olah dealt with man's nature rather than man's behavior. The Zevah offerings: also called peace offering, offering of well-being. Three types of Zevah offerings: Confession Offering, Free-Will Offering, Vow Offering. Zevah Sh'lamim - Vow Offering: worshipper makes a vow to God that if God helps in a thing the worshipper will do something for God. Zevah Todah - Confession Offering and Free-will Offering. Confession offering - worshipper seeks deliverance from an enemy or healing. Free-Will Offering - Totally different from Vow or Confession, worshipper not seeking anything from God, just a gesture of gratefulness and love. Hatta'at - the sin offering, purification offering. This one does deal with behavior, the unintentional, inadvertant sin Intended to restore worshipper's position with God. 'Asham - reparation offering, sins of omission offering. Intended to atone for inadvertant sins against God's sacred property. (Sins of omission would be like hearing about something and not telling and thereby maybe preventing a crime from happening or helping to convict or acquit an accused person.) This was also the offering used for "unknown" sins that one might have committed, it could calm the worshipper. (I'm not sure about this, but I think some Bible versions call this offering the "guilt offering.") Well, that about covers it, as far as my knowledge goes. Leaves much to be desired and a lot more to learn, but maybe this can get you started. Cheri |

536 | What is sing a Judah praise?? right?? | Gen 29:35 | skccab | 201428 | ||
Shalom Phyl7, First of all the word "Judah" means "praise." Then there is a group called Judah Praise. Is it a song by this group that you are talking about that is sung in your church? I have not heard them (only know of them) so I cannot personally give a thumbs up or down on their music. But if singing the song doesn't feel right then don't sing it, use that time for a moment of personal prayer. Google judah praise and do a little research. Cheri |

537 | Heavenly or Earthly Messengers? | Gen 32:1 | skccab | 213927 | ||
Shalom y'all, In Gen. 32:1, the "angels of God" - is the original word melech? Messengers? These are just "messengers" from Esau, right? They are not actual angels like the ones that approached Abram just before the destruction of Sodom and Gommorah, right? (I have that ISA Basic program but it's difficult to use sometimes, and this time it didn't give me the word I'm familiar with.) I'm just a little confused :o) Thanks for the help Cheri |

538 | Heavenly or Earthly Messengers? | Gen 32:1 | skccab | 213930 | ||
Good morning Savannah, Thank you for the response. I think you may be right since there doesn't seem to be any further mention of these particular "messengers".... Have a great day! Cheri |

539 | Exodus 23:19, last part mostly | Exodus | skccab | 201301 | ||
Shalom y'all It's me again :-) I've read through the Bible 4 times in the last 2 years and each time I come to this passage, it totally throws me. I was wondering if anyone has heard any teachings on it, that maybe it means something more than just what the words are saying. The passage is Exod. 23:19b. Normally, I don't go searching for "hidden" or "deeper" meanings but this verse is just ODD. God is talking about His feasts in all the verses above and even in the beginning of this particular verse and in the verses afterward He's promising the conquest of the land - this command just seems to be stuck in a place that is very odd. It appears to be totally off the wall - and I know that our God is not a God of confusion so what am I missing here? Still learning Cheri |

540 | Exodus 23:19, last part mostly | Exodus | skccab | 201303 | ||
Thanks so much brother-mine! Finding out that it was a pagan practice back then certainly does help explain why it is placed where it is - that was my problem with the statement, it's placement. The Bible is definitely a profound book but when it says that Moses climbed up a hill you can be pretty sure that MOSES CLIMBED UP A HILL, and when it says that Jesus sat and taught His disciples, it's a safe bet to repeat it, JESUS SAT AND TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLES, nothing less and nothing more. (There is certainly revelation knowledge, but I've found [at least for me anyway] that most of the revelation knowledge I've received has been for a particular period of time/or need - in other words, not something one would start a new teaching on.) That's why that verse threw me for a loop - I knew I was missing something. Thank you again, John :-) Cheri |
