Hello, thequickenenedone, Esau may have been the first born to Sara, but Abraham had a son prior to that, with Hagar. So, this question is much more complex that seen at face value. keliy Gen 16:1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife had borne him no children, and she had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar. Gen 16:2 So Sarai said to Abram, "Now behold, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go in to my maid; perhaps I will obtain children through her." And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. Gen 16:3 After Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Abram's wife Sarai took Hagar the Egyptian, her maid, and gave her to her husband Abram as his wife. |

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 |

HI Val, Wow, I have seen some loaded questions before, but...just kidding, sister -I am more than happy to do my best to answer. Actually, I do see the Book of Revelation as the most controversial book contained in the Bible, but the interpretation is not as complicated as most people think. There are so many interpretations of the symbolic meanings within, that it is possible to go to ten sources and get over twelve interpretations. I try to see past all the symbolic imagery to look towards the hope that is offered to all who suffer persecution and tribulations in this fallen world. When I speak to a Jewish adherent about the New Testament, I get the answer that it is not accepted. So my counterpoint is, Well, had they read the Book of Revelation? Because it was written by a Jew, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The writer of the letters to the seven churches of Asia was in his own eyes a Jew, while believing in Jesus as the risen Messiah. I have learned that the key to understanding the Book of Revelation is in the understanding of the rest of the Bible. No, I do not claim to actually understand it all, just that I am more than happy to spend the time trying to gain understanding. Concerning Israel, I turn to the second chapter of Isaiah, which begins, "The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last days, [that] the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it." (vss 1,2) Another reference to Israel is symbolic, and found in Rev 12:1, "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars" There are many different interpretations as to the identity of the woman symbolized, The Catholic Church says that it is Mary, the mother of God. I believe that verse 12:6 proves their interpretation wrong. And Mary Baker Eddy says that it is herself, which I believe is ridiculous. The interpretation of this symbol (the woman being Israel) that I accept is found in the Genesis, in Joseph's second dream. So to answer your first question, my approach to Revelation is to approach the rest of the Bible. This is explained in the Bible as the need for two or more witnesses for a matter to be called true. In answer to your second question, where I see Israel in the end time, I do not accept replacement theology, because of the everlasting covenant made in Gen 17:7, "I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you. My belief is that there will be Jews who are saved, and Jews who are unsaved. There will also be non-Jews who are saved, and non-Jews who are unsaved. Thank you for your question, Val. May our Lord bring you many joyful blessings in this new year. keliy |

8 | TRUE HEART OF WORSHIP | Bible general Archive 4 | keliy | 212738 | ||
Hi Brittany, sometimes it is hard to place a question in specific terms, so I will do my best as to what I think, and you can give feedback as well as other forum members. So, here I go, and Welcome! I would say that True Worship is God worship. Or, worship that is God-centered. People sometimes get distracted in side issues like where they should worship, The worship team, the music they should sing, or even how they look to other people while they are worshiping. Focusing on these things and whether we enjoy them is focusing on self and does not please God. Besides, it completely misses the point of worship. Jesus tells us that true worshipers will worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). True Worship can include praying, reading or studying God's Word, singing, participating in communion, or even serving others. It's not limited to any one act, but the important part is that it's done properly with the heart and attitude in the right place. May our Lord Bless you as you seek Him, keliy |

Thanks again Doc, for the embellishment. I agree with you in that God is providing us with the worship, He is the author and is our all in all. Your words reminded me of a study on the Lord's prayer, as to the beginning where it says, "hallowed be thy name". This means that God's name is hallowed, with or without any effort on our part, because there is nothing that we can add to the word 'be'. And we are not righteous enough to improve any of God's attributes. Amen. keliy |

Hi Val, Yes contrition is certainly true to the heart, but if I may suggest, brokenness brings to my mind penitence, such as Psalm 51. Of course, that is also a very authentic form of worship. Blessings, keliy |

Hello Allen, Here is an interesting passage for your consideration, as well as other members. Daniel's dream of four beasts. (7:3-7) The first, as I have heard from one interpretation, is the lion, national symbol of Britain. ( This was during a recent time of Bush and Blair's newsworthy alliance.) The wings of an eagle were said to be from the national bird of the U.S. The bear, was said to be Russia, and the leopard was left undescribed, which I later presumed to be Africa. Again, this is for consideration, I am not trying to draw any parallels that were not meant to be there. Here is the passage: Dan 7:3) "And four great beasts were coming up from the sea, different from one another. Dan 7:4) "The first was like a lion and had the wings of an eagle. I kept looking until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man; a human mind also was given to it. Dan 7:5) "And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and thus they said to it, 'Arise, devour much meat!' Dan 7:6) "After this I kept looking, and behold, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird; the beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it. Dan 7:7) "After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong; and it had large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. blessings, keliy |

May I suggest you look into: Literal Translation of the Holy Bible - LITV -This is another 'translation' that aims for accuracy, but it also leaves much interpretation up to the reader. This is why it is always best to pray before we read the Bible. The argument of which ancient manuscript is superior is in itself an ancient argument. Primarily, we have two sources of documents to choose from when we attempt to translate from the original manuscripts. There are Alexandrian texts and Byzantine texts. Each have their own set of followers, (called 'prioritists') with their own justifications for their loyalties. One side goes with the case of majority (sheer number of documents in existence), and the other side proclaims age is the factor, (since 'theirs' was on the scene first.) The argument that the original manuscripts are without error is a moot point, since there are simply no original manuscripts in existence today Both sets of documents have errors, however. Yet many of these can be corrected by lining up with the 'other' set of documents. The argument needs to be studied at great length and is referred to as, Westcott and Hort vs. Textus Receptus. Which is Superior? That is up to personal preference, but myself, I think that they support each other and neither one is perfect. May our Lord Bless you in your search for His truth. keliy |

John, Thanks for your warm reply. (o: As a member of this fine forum, I am always willing to do my very best to help anyone. That is my life off the forum also, but we must all thank our Lord, for that is where our sufficiency comes from. We are all called to live godly lives, but we are without sufficient resources to live the life that we are called to live. So, a life of growth in Christ-likeness can only come about when we draw upon God’s sufficiency for living as we strive for a closer walk with our Savior. I praise God as I thank Him for this Forum that brings together sisters and brothers like you and all the friends that have helped me to grow towards God's holy standard. Blessings to you, keliy Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God. (2 Corinthians 3:5) |

16 | how old is the earth? | Bible general Archive 4 | keliy | 221000 | ||
Good sites, Doc. I just have an additional comment for those who claim the older age of the earth, due to fossil evidence: If God can create Adam as a full-grown man, could He not also create the earth as a full-grown earth? This would also include the stars. Being light-years away, our Creator would have necessarily made them with their light beams reaching already near the earth. -As this was before the advent of time. But that is only an opinion of mine, and not scientifically based. I am still watching for scientific facts that could possibly lead me to think otherwise (o; |

God used Ester to prevent the extermination of the Jews, and her help averted what would have been the first holocaust "Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people."

Hi watchman. I received the reply that I presume was meant for BradK, but it was under a note authored by Brad Meyers. I make the same mistake from time to time, when I don't pay attention to the line in the thread "branch" that is highlighted in yellow. It is that author that will be notified of your reply I am thankful that we (mostly) are all Christians here, and therefore (mostly) understanding, and forgiving, as we exercise the fruit of the Spirit. (o: remember, the fruit does not fall far from the tree. Grace and Peace, keliy |
