Hi Doc, Yes, they used it for their toiletries and for their skin due to the arridness of the climate. Since these places are steeped in customs, I would imagine some places still use it just as we still use a gentle oil on babies although not olive oil. I had a mental picture of the oiliness of the parts of the Tabernacle and the sand and silt in the wilderness, it could be quite a mess. Like laying on the beach in the sand just after you put on sun-screen. terrib |

Hi Janae, "That pouring out is the anointing. It comes when God decides to release it." That is not quite right. For anointing cannot come if we already have been anointed. And you cannot pray for the anointing if you already have the anointing. For the Scriptures tell us that we are God's anointed (we ARE already anointed). For as Moses (who was anointed) did not see the face of God, yet God passed His Glory in front of him and afterwards Moses had to wear a vail over his face because of the radiance (he had an experience). This was the Glory of the Lord not the anointing. Jesus said, Were two or more are gathered in My name, there I will be also. The Spirit that is in you which is the Spirit of Christ is bringing you into the Glory of the Lord. This is the presence that one experiences. As God has shown Himself as a Great Cloud of Glory in the Tabernacle to verify His presence, so the Lord verifies His presence by the closeness and the fulness of the Holy Spirit to His children. We do use the phrase "It is a pouring out" and this is a truism for it is a True Blessing. terrib This I speak and not of the Lord, but if the closeness of the Spirit were not limited we would be translated. |

186 | why doesnt god have the power? | John 3:16 | terrib | 150108 | ||
Hi Matt, The very first essential thing to remember is that God is Holy.(Lev 21:8) Therefore, since God is Holy, He cannot lie and will not go back on any covenant that He makes. In other words, He cannot get out of a deal that He has made. "why is it, that if he loves everyone, that those who dont follow him go to hell?" In Genesis, He was with Adam and put it to him this way, "Look Adam, I have made you and put you in this beautiful place and you can do whatever you wish. The only thing I ask is you do not eat of this one tree. All these other things are yours for the taking. The first couple could do what they wanted, they could choose to play with the lion or the bear or a lamb and enjoy being gardeners and just enjoy life with God that God had given them. But, there was a contract, and since God made them, what could they do but accept the contract. Well, we know how the story goes, don't we. Man broke the contract. So, how do we repair what was done. Well, we can't, but God does love us so much He says, I will help them and give them another chance. I will give them my Son for an offering for their sins. (John 3:16). If they believe in this offering that I am giving them I will accept them back into the relationship that we first had and give them another chance and give them even more. I will send My prophets and preachers to them, Enoch, Noah, Moses, Elijah and more to let them know how to live rightly. I will show them great wonders. I will feed them and clothe them if they follow Me. But, I am still under My contract, "That the soul that sins will die, the contract I made with Adam." They have the choice between Good and evil. "how come satan has a lot more power as far as who gets saved goes?" Satan does have the power to bring things into our lives, example, Job, but we have the final say as to the choices we make. Job chose not to curse God even with his wife's nagging about it (Job 2:9). The willfulness of an evil life happens because the spirit or the conscience of the wicked has been seared shut (1Tim 4:2). Like an open wound, one would get a hot iron and close the wound, well that is what some have done with their conscience, they have sealed it up inside that they no longer listen to their own inner guide. They have become reprobate (without conscience thought of anything Godly), (Rom 1:28 "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind..."). Again is comes to choice. God is continually calling, preachers are still calling, the forum is still calling and this continiual calling is the love of God, calling and calling, but some will not hear, so the contract must enforced. Does this help any? terrib |

Hi Matt, "just out of interest, what is your position in the church, and what church do you follow?" My Spirit given gift is "Helps". It is what I have been best at, and I accept that. In the corporate world the position would be called a floater. I go where they need me.

Greetings Starfire, 1Jo 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. These are to be loved, as men, as fellow creatures and their good, both spiritual and temporal, is to be sought and good is to be done to them, as much as lies in our power, both with respect to soul and body, yet their company is not to be chosen and preferred to the saints, but to be shunned and avoided as being disagreeable and dangerous. Their evil conversations, and wicked communications, are not to be loved but abhorred and their works of darkness are to be reproved. Nor are their ways to be imitated, and their customs followed or their manners to be conformed to. Why? 1Jo 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. When one is saved and the Word of God is freshly implanted in our hearts, if we continue to pal around with the world, (see the parable of the sower: Mat 13:18-26), the association with that world can have a terrible affect on our lives: In the Old Testament, God warned His people not to take a spouse from other nations because those spouses would have an impact on the Israelites by bringing into their relationship some of the old customs and would pollute their relationship with the Lord. And sure enough, over a little time, the children of Israel started to worship some of the old gods of these spouses.(Judges 3:5-7) We are to love the men of the world, but not the world or the realm or the surroundings or the life-style they live in. And some of our old friends before our conversion will wag their heads and wonder why we don't pal around with them anymore.(1 Pet 4:4) I don't know the context that that TV preacher was talking about, not having the Holy Spirit in you if you don't understand the Scriptures, but your very question here, on this forum, proves you have the Spirit in you, else you would not have asked. Understanding the Scriptures is a life-long process. Paul says that some Christians are babes and this is because there is a growing process. The Scriptures are a living testament and we get daily strength from them and we grow. Paul also says that some Christians require milk, because the deeper things of God are not readily understood until we put aside some of the more basic carnal concerns.(1 Cor 3:2) It is good and a great sign that you had concerns for what that preacher said for it shows you that the Holy Spirit enlightened you that what he said was not quite right. For this is part of the working of the Holy Spirit, to enable us to discern these things. You wrote: "I know the Holy Spirit is within me, but am I somehow doing something wrong". This is a very good example of the way that the Tempter comes and tries to rob us of our faith, by planting the seed of doubt and turning our eyes on ourselves. Although it is good to search ourselves for any bad thing that we may still be holding onto from the world we once lived in. Psa 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: Psa 139:24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. In the verse: "he shall teach you all things", we didn't know how to use multiplication until we were taught how to add. Ask, and grow in the Spirit daily. Your brother, terrib |

Starfire, If I may be bold and answer with those that responded to your question: Col 2:5(NASB) For even though I am (we are) absent in body, nevertheless I am (we are) with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good discipline and the stability of your faith in Christ. Col 2:6 Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, Col 2:7 having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. Col 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. Thank you for lifting our spirits also. Your brother, terrib |

191 | accepting a non-beleiver | John 6:44 | terrib | 150182 | ||
Hi Matt, Now we are straying into a realm that this forum is not intended for. Counciling should be between God, you and probably your pastor. But, if Ben is your friend, let him see Christ living in you. And don't push. He will see something in you that he doesn't have and God will draw him. (Joh 6:44) "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." Live your life in front of him honestly and live your life out of his sight honestly. If you are hypocritical, he will see it. Other than this, I would talk with your pastor. And keep praying for him. terrib |

192 | Can anyone tell how he understand that? | John 6:54 | terrib | 150197 | ||
Greetings Jeanpierrelibre, Welcome! Concerning John 6:54: The subject matter has its start with (John 6:25) when the people were looking for Jesus and asked Him how He got across the sea. And Jesus perceived that they came for food (John 6:26). Thus starts a basis for the subject that your verse has to do with (the bread of life). John 6:27 - don't labor for things that perish. John 6:28 - then What shall we do? the people ask. John 6:29 - they were to believe in Him that God sent. John 6:30-31 - Then the people ask, If you are from God what can you do, for we follow Moses because he gave manna from heaven. Jesus then explains to them them that He is the Bread of Heaven and whomever partakes of Him shall not die. This continues down through (John 6:51) were Jesus tells them that He shall give His flesh and spill His blood for the world. And (John 6:53) except we partake of Jesus (believe in Him) we will not have eternal life. Therefore in John 6:54 Jesus is not saying that they should eat His body and drink His blood literally, but He is talking to them spiritually about accepting Him that He has come into the world to save the world by being the sin offering for us. And Jesus proclaims that what He has said is spirit and not flesh in John 6:63 "...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." The manna the Jews talked about only reserved and supported life, it did not preserve and perpetuate life, much less restore it; but Christ gives life to those that are dead in their sins. The manna was ordained only for the life of the Israelites, but Christ is given for the life of the world; none are excluded from the benefit of this Bread of Heaven. If we believe. Therefore, eat My flesh and drink My blood are words of spirit and should not be taken as literal canabalism. By the way, this event should not be confused with the institution of the Lord's Supper. But Jesus uses these same symbols, His flesh as the bread, and His blood as the wine, at that supper. They are spirit and life. Hope this helps, terrib |

Dear reader, Interesting article given for "another perspective": Quoted from article: "...Are we to understand that Christ had just commanded his disciples to eat his flesh, then said their doing so would be pointless? Is that what "the flesh is of no avail" means? "Eat my flesh, but you’ll find it’s a waste of time"—is that what he was saying?..." Yes, that is exactly what He meant. For it is not in the flesh that we have eternal life but in the Spirit. The above article actually proves the Scriptures. Thank you Emmaus, Yes, another perspective indeed! terrib |

195 | Did Jesus Fulfill Feast/Tabernacles? how | John 7:2 | terrib | 149461 | ||
Welcome Jordan33, The Scriptures do not tell us just exactly when Jesus arrived at the feast. The festival was at hand. He sent His brothers to keep the ordinance. But He didn't go with His brothers because they didn't believe Him (John 7:5) and they would have made a spectical of Him (John 7:4)"...shew thyself to the world." But, after His brothers left, He went also.(Joh 7:9-10 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.) Note: "he went also". Jesus's time was not yet full, He had yet more work to do before He was to be delivered to Jerusalem. Some have stated that His brothers went up early to be cleansed from touching something unclean which would have taken seven days, therefore the delay in Jesus' going for He was not unclean. Then, we see Him at about the middle of the festival teaching in the Temple (John 7:14). Then we see Him in the last day of the festival (John 7:37) preaching to the people. This should show us that He did fulfill the seven days per the ordinance. (Deu 16:13-15) terrib |

197 | difference between samaritans and jews | John 8:48 | terrib | 153708 | ||
Hi poverton, Samaritans The name given to the new and mixed inhabitants whom Esarhaddon (677 B.C.), the king of Assyria, brought from Babylon and other places and settled in the cities of Samaria, instead of the original inhabitants whom Sargon (721 B.C.) had removed into captivity (2Ki 17:24; compare Ezr 4:2, Ezr 4:9, Ezr 4:10). These strangers (compare Luk 17:18) amalgamated with the Jews still remaining in the land, and gradually abandoned their old idolatry and adopted partly the Jewish religion. After the return from the Captivity, the Jews in Jerusalem refused to allow them to take part with them in rebuilding the temple, and hence sprang up an open enmity between them. They erected a rival temple on Mount Gerizim, which was, however, destroyed by a Jewish king (130 B.C.). They then built another at Shechem. The bitter enmity between the Jews and Samaritans continued in the time of our Lord: the Jews had “no dealings with the Samaritans” (Joh 4:9; compare Luk 9:52, Luk 9:53). Our Lord was in contempt called “a Samaritan” (Joh 8:48). Many of the Samaritans early embraced the gospel (John 4:5-42; Act 8:25; Act 9:31; Act 15:3). (Easton's Bible Dictionary) terrib |
