1 | Christian Polygamy? | Bible general Archive 2 | Natoochton | 156439 | ||
Thank you for your answer, just one thing about your paraphrase of a 1 corinthians 7:4, would it really be "power over" or as it says, belonging as in I belong to God and yes he of course has power over us (okay I just answered my own question) Thanks |

2 | Temple building | 1 Chr 28:6 | Natoochton | 156310 | ||
I understand, but what I see in this passage is not God telling the Israelites to build him a temple. God did not tell them to build a temple, it was only after David told Him "I will build you a temple" that God allowed for this to happen. In my mind I see this passage to have a great deal of similarity with that of electing a King. God did not tell the Israelites to have a King, He was their King, and it was only after they persisted that he allowed for a King to be chosen. Also, it seems as if in both these circumstances they are rejecting God and taking on the customs of pagans, who ahd a King? the pagans/everyone else, the same as true as far as the temple is concerned. Now I'm not sure about the tabernacle, as far as I understand though, the tabernacle like the one at Shiloh was one of its kind, in that it was God ordered. | ||||||
3 | Faith Knowledge and Baptism | Rom 10:17 | Natoochton | 156438 | ||
Thank you for your answer, It really does help to have this forum, I find that even in "Christian" environments I cannot share with others the same enthusiasm I have about my many many questions. Anyway, I guess what I would to add would be that if we are to say that infancy cannot bear faith, and go moreso into the whole age of accountability question, then are we putting a limit or restriction on who can be called into God's kingdom. Perhaps I'm questioning the wrong principles, perhaps not, I honestly, have no idea whatsoever as to what I'm questioning. Now would it make a logical arguement, to say that a baby of course does possess knowledge. For if his parent is to make a sound in a quiet or noise filled room, will the baby not respond to the parent's voice? Also, about the age of accountability thing, was that formed as maybe a pattern or observation of a child's ability to ask questions, concernig his or her faith. A child's mind is of course capable of processing such abstract or conceptual thoughts. I guess what I was trying to clear up all along, was the frequent questions of if my baby dies and was not baptized, what is to happen of him. Obviously the grace of God is absolutely amazing. And I honestly think that once we enter the gates of heaven our minds will be without suprise. Now I don't know if I made any progress in this post here, but I would like to thank you again for your willingness to share your knowledge with me. thanks |
