281 | Does not tithing disqualify leadership? | Mal 3:10 | skccab | 203421 | ||
Shalom Yes, Levites paid tithes of their gifts to the Lord (1/10 of their 1/10) and it went to the priests. See Num. chapter 18, specifically verses 21 - 32. Cheri |

282 | 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 |

283 | When/ why did Israel separate into 2 | 1 Kings | skccab | 203215 | ||
Dear Azure, I think I have to agree with Val. I believe the first mention of the split (yet to happen) is found in 1 Kgs. 11:11-13 where the Lord is speaking to Solomon about his evil deeds. In fact, He says He won't take the entire kingdom away from Solomon's son in the future FOR David's sake, that FOR David's sake and the sake of Jerusalem, He will give his son 1 tribe. Cheri |

shabbat shalom lander I'm prone to agree and take those chapters at face value. But, like most believers, I have a bit of a problem with the sacrificial system spoken of - but it seems to include ALL. And it doesn't appear, to me anyway, that this temple is of any time other than the millenium or new heaven and new earth periods which will include only believers, Jews and adoptees (gentiles). I had just wanted to get some other views, most of the folks here are much more mature bible-wise than me :-). Aren't we glad our understanding of things like this have nothing to do with our eternal salvation? Though, I'd still like to get a handle on it. By the way, welcome to the forum. Hope you stay and study with us! Cheri |

285 | what was meant by righteousnes grtr than | Matt 5:20 | skccab | 203172 | ||
Hiya Doc, Absolutely! There were quite a lot of the Pharisees that believed on the Lord as He walked this earth, and even more after His resurrection. I was speaking of the ones that He was wagging His finger at. I like your/Barclay's "list" and agree that we could add the word "Christian" to the it, except for the bruised-Christian would have to be one that has his eyes on heaven bumping into things, trying to be so spiritual that he/she's no earthly good :-). And there are a lot of really lovely Christians as well. Cheri |

286 | what was meant by righteousnes grtr than | Matt 5:20 | skccab | 203170 | ||
Dear Narnia, Actually the Pharisees were following the oral law that was built upon the law of Moses. Much had been added to the do's and don't's of the original Law - so much so that it was near impossible to get it right. And the Parisees were also out to get praised by men for their piousness and righteousness, they weren't interested in pleasing God. That's why Messiah said to do what they said to do, but not the way in which they did those same things. :-) Cheri Cheri |

Thanks Doc, Brad, John, and all I understand that these chapters, along with the book of Revelation, that there really isn't a 100percent rignt or wrong (within reasonableness) answer because it's veiled. But you did help me, whether you realize it or not - so once again, thanks guys. Of course, I do still have questions... next year :-) shalom cheri |

289 | Hatred..Am I truly a Christian?? | Matt 5:44 | skccab | 202849 | ||
Shalom Jim, We are commanded to LOVE. In this, there is no option. We are also told we must forgive or we will not receive forgiveness. Neither is there any option here. And the moment of forgiveness and salvation is NOW, not later, for we are only promised this moment. Wasting this moment we have could be prove to be very costly. Lev. 19:18 and Mat. 5:43 You shall love your neighbor as yourself - And Hillel (before Jesus time) added that all the rest (of the commandments) is just commentary. 1Jn 2:10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 1Jn 2:11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. 1Jn 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 1Jn 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 1Jn 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1Jn 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 1Jn 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1Jn 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 1Jn 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 1Jn 3:19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 1Jn 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 1Jn 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 1Jn 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 1Jn 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1Jn 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 1Jn 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 1Jn 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 1Jn 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 1Jn 4:21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. Jim, what do you do with these verses (and there are dozens more)? What do we do with the entire book of 1 John? Cheri |

290 | what can i learn about who God is? | 2 Chr 10:15 | skccab | 202821 | ||
Shalom GC, If like you say, you don't have a lot of time to look up scripture in your Bible (I have trouble using mine sometimes due to bad, painful eyesight) - let me suggest you go to esword.com and download that software and all the bible versions (dozens for free, others for just a minimum fee); this software has a wonderful Search feature and then you can just copy and paste. (Or just citing book chapter verse will usually suffice.) The main reason for doing this is to make sure that what is being said is in context with both the discussion and the whole bible passage. :-) Cheri |

291 | why jesus had not allowed mary to touch | John 20:17 | skccab | 202576 | ||
Shalom CC, I think you have a bit of an idea EXCEPT that the Savior could NOT become unclean - He was the very Living Water that was required in the purification rituals. Look at all the times He touched the unclean in healing them, just walking among them, and He never became unclean (and keep in mind at that time, if you were not a part of Israel, clean/holy, then you were a part of the nations, unclean/common). So that part of your reasoning, I believe, is a bit faulty. Remember, the ingredients that went into the purification bowl were running water (from a place like a stream where the waters run, are not stagnant) and blood from the bird that was killed. What poured from our Savior's side when he was pierced? Blood and water and it began covering all those who believed the very moment it began to flow freely from His side!! Val answered correctly. When our Savior walked out of the tomb, we all passed from death unto life if we trust in Him. Cheri |

Hiya Pattycake, I'm glad the site helped. But I just did the googling for you that you couldn't do. Remember, as always, just take what anything/one says with a grain of salt - check what the Bible says for the final answer :-). Meanwhile, glad I was able to help with the immediate question/need.

293 | The literal Bible | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 202413 | ||
Dear Terry, The passages you referenced for death, are for believers in the Savior, God's Messiah, passages that describe cessation of bodily functioning, not death. Death, the Second Death, is total, eternal separation from God. That which was made of dust and returns to dust is nothing more than a vessel that houses the spirit and soul of man. When it stops working (dies) the spirit lives on, either with God or without God. Are you a born-again, Spirit-filled believer? Is Christ your Lord and Savior? Cheri |

Good morning True, Shalom Welcome to the Forum! The 3 posters that you have responded to have not posted on this forum since 11/03, 7/01/ and 3/04. It's very likely that you will not get a reply from them. The way to tell the date of the note is to scroll to bottom of page and look for the yellow highlighting, if you then look to the right of that you'll see the poster and the date, if you click on the poster's name, you can see the date of his/her last post. That will give you an indication of whether or not your reply will be received and acknowledged. :-) Don't worry, every one of us has answered a few very very elderly questions. Just part of being new and learning your way around!! I hope you will stay around and study with us. It's not required, but it would be nice if you would tell us a little bit about yourself in your profile? Cheri |

Ian, Let me also point you to Abram and Sarai's prayer for a child. God told him personally that he would have an heir and be the father of many nations. Correct me, anyone, if I'm wrong, but it took 25 years for that prayer, that promise to be fulfilled. It doesn't always happen in our desired time-frame, but God is faithful to His word, in His time! Cheri |

Shalom Ian, I'm very sorry that you're not happy with the responses you've received. But be it known that your prayer for right answers HAS been answered. You just don't like what the answer is. Most of the time, the "answer" God gives is not so easily seen, it must be heard, and it's very often "No." We don't like to hear No, so we don't and keep on praying, while complaining that God isn't answering us. Even when we are praying in God's will, sometimes it's No. Don't you know that there were folks praying for Elisha to get well? But he didn't, he died of his sickness (2 Kings 13:14). But God did answer the prayers - he's no longer sick!! Cheri |
