301 | Sin unto death | 1 John | skccab | 202287 | ||
Good morning tenderheart, I like that screenname, it's nice. I don't think that is the sin unto death, because Messiah said Himself in John 17:12 that those whom God gave to Him He has kept and not lost them. There are those (like me who got busy and forgetful and not even realizing it, wandered away, but not so far I couldn't hear Him calling me back) and then there are those who played the game and gave lip service for awhile but they never had a real and personal relationship with the Savior (they were never "saved/born again"). Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't think anyone who truly knew the joy and warmth of God's love could ever walk away and deny the reality of what they had once known. There are different views on the "once saved, always saved" issue and I'm not looking to go there in debate or heated discussion, but I do think that if I'd died while I was away, I would have gone home to Him, but would have forfeited any rewards that may have once been mine. Since you asked :-) Nice to meet you, sweet sister Hope we can continue to study our Father's word together Cheri |

302 | Sin unto death | 1 John | skccab | 202286 | ||
Morning Steve, Am I understanding you correctly, that there is a sin that an unbeliever can commit that we shouldn't pray for that person? If that's the case, shouldn't we know what the offense is? What is it? I'm confused. Cheri |

303 | Sin unto death | 1 John | skccab | 202283 | ||
Morning Believer, I work midnights, what's your excuse for being up at this hour :-) ? Thanks that did help. So basically, what you're saying then, is that John is talking about the sin proper and not the brother (or sister) committing it? That I misunderstood, thinking John was saying not to pray for the person committing the sin. What you said makes a lot of sense (especially since we don't seem to know what the sin is). Duh, sometimes I'm not too bright at 5am hahaha. Shalom Cheri |

Thank you bBeliever, I'll check out your link. After I posted I realized that I didn't give the verse I was questioning - it's Mark 7:19 the part at the end of the verse in explanation what Messiah meant. Thanks again Cheri |

Hiya SON, Some great verses on the subject, indeed. Shalom, Cheri P.S. Have you been studying the Hebrew Roots of Christianity? Check my profile and drop me an e if you're so inclined. If not, that's OK; May God envelope you with His shalom. |

Shalom SON, By accident, you posted your help to cockroach to my post, but you did send him one also, so he should see these also :-) (I do that to, sometimes!) Cheri |

307 | Outside the camp, there's a place clean? | OT general | skccab | 202183 | ||
Thank you, SON, For some obscure reason I had gotten it (wrongly) into my head that the area outside the camp was considered unclean. In fact, it was when I got to the place about the red heifer that that idea became troublesome. I enjoyed reading the passages that you supplied. Thank you very much for your efforts, they are much appreciated. :-) Shalom Cheri |

308 | christians practicing good church attend | Heb 10:25 | skccab | 202179 | ||
Hi Teddy, You're absolutely right about the Sabbath and the keeping of it holy. (I am a Sabbath observer.) I was actually referring to the statement in Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Is that not a command? (I'm asking seriously.) I know it doesn't mean that you are to be with your group/church EVERY time they get together - life happens sometimes to keep you away. But isn't that a command not to try to stand alone? Still learning :-) (and making mistakes!!) Cheri |

309 | ten commandments are they valid today | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 202174 | ||
Hiya Doc, Sorry that you misunderstood me, but glad you brought to my attention that my wording wasn't great :-) It wasn't the sermons at all, those were happy sermons. I was trying to say that we get "squirmy" when a someone actually does attempt to instruct us about the consequences of disobedience. So they preach on the "good" "happy" Old Testament scriptures "...blessing coming in and blessing going out...", "...you'll be the head and not the tail...", etc. But I very rarely got any of the "fire and brimstone" type sermons that addresses disobedience and its results. I guess it kind of goes back to the other thread that's running right now about churches being more entertaining than instructional. I'm a product of those kinds of churches years back, and it actually came as quite a surprise to me (a few years ago) when it became clear to me that the God of the ancients is the very same God we worship today. He has not changed - going from angry and hard to benevolant and good - He's been all of those all along - depending on how we as individuals and nations approach Him. I hope I cleared that up a bit :-) Cheri |

311 | How do I forgive adultry if it continues | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 202163 | ||
Dear TJS, May I interject something here? YOU cannot forgive your ex-wife's sin. Only God can do that. What takes place concerning this act is between her and Him. What you are required to do is forgive her for how her sin affected you - and you do this, not for her, not even for God. You do it to put yourself in right standing with God. If there is anger, hurt, resentment over this in you then that affects your standing before God - you are out of balance. Place all of that (including the situation with your son) at the foot of the Cross and leave it there. When you begin thinking about it, start singing or humming What a Friend or Amazing Grace, anything to keep you from taking it back. YOu gave it to God, it's His now. God is faithful to heal your wounds if you allow Him to do so. (Please, be assured I'm not just rambling about something I know nothing about. My teenage daughter absolutely hates me and I've no idea why - and it hurts something awful, it's debilitating, it's crippling - if I take it back. But I've learned that only God can change hearts, we cannot. In His time, she will forgive and I will be there.) And in His time, your son will "come to his senses" and you will be there (either in this life or in the world to come). Please, be sure to follow the advice of brothers Brad and Hank and all the others, and seek Godly counsel. A counsellor can help you work through all of this. Leaning how to separate yourself from the hurt they have caused you and yet still think of them lovingly and pray for them is very difficult; but it can and must be done. Seek professional help from a Godly person. I'm sure you are already in the prayers of the many SBFers that have been reading this thread. May you find God's shalom. Cheri |

Dear Teddy, You said "I do not go because I have to go. I go because I want to go. Otherwise I would not go!" Let me reply by quoting (by whom I cannot remember) - "Some things are commanded because they are RIGHT, and some thing are right because they are COMMANDED." What "we" want to do or don't want to do does not fall into the equation. :-) Cheri |

313 | How to explain the purpose of the OT? | Rom 15:4 | skccab | 202147 | ||
Shalom Gary, Mat. 5:17-19 "Do not think I have come to destroy the Law..." Pay close attention to verse 19. Fulfill, Gr. "pleroo" means to fill with meaning, make abudnant, bring to fullest intent. Messiah tells us to 1) get rid of the idea that Torah is obsolete, and 2) be careful in our worship and lives to obey God. The principles and commands of God are found in the Torah. Torah means instruction. Jn. 1:1 Messiah is "the Word." The Whole Bible is "the Word." Messiah gave us the Torah. Torah teaches what Sin is AND what Righteousness is. Messiah saves. The Torah defines obedience. These are separate issues. The earliest believers followed Torah, Acts 21:20, 24:14, 25:3 Look at Nadab and Abihu in Lev. 10, they were killed on the spot for offering incense and fire that was NOT God-ordained. They tresspassed against God's holiness. Now - look at Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 4:32-5:11. They were killed directly by God also (in the NT). There was no death penalty for lying in the Law, but we already have 2 people paying the price for tresspassing against God's holiness. And the money that these two had promised to give to God had already become holy before Him, so they ROBBED God by keeping some ot it back. These 4 people were believers! Back to the sacrificial system: What that system was designed to do, it did it and it did it very well. But, if you look closely at the different sacrifices instituted by God in Torah you'll see that one BIG sin is ommitted - the Known Intentional Sin, the one we know is wrong but we choose to do it anyway! For the ancient Hebrews, there was no atonement for known intentional trespasses! (Aren't you glad that Jesus the Messiah took care of that?!!) Let me end by saying that if you believe that Heb. 13:8 is true, then a new look at the Old Testament is warranted. Either the God of the New Testament has changed from the God of the Old or He has not. He either "...is the same yesterday, and today, and forever" or He is not. We can't have it both ways. Cheri |

315 | How important is growth? | Eph 4:12 | skccab | 202100 | ||
Shalom y'all, I'd just like to Amen! Brad's observation. And I would like to add something my own pastor said once, and I've never forgotten the analogy: He said that he's our earthly shepherd and shepherds don't give birth to lambs. Lambs beget lambs. He's there to feed and nourish us that we may have strength to go through the birthing processes. So many times you see someone right on the verge of giving "birth" to a new believer, and what do they do? They haul that almost birthed lamb to their church expecting their "shepherd" to finish the process!! As Brad stated, car-washes, bake or garage sales are not bible studies but things like those are very good places to bring "almost persuaded" folks. I know of a few churches that even have a day set aside 2-4 times a month for stay-at-home moms (and Mr. Moms!!) to get together for fellowship at their local mall while their kids are looked after at the church - another great place to take "almost believers." The church service should not be for entertainment but for equipping the saints to go out and do what the Lord told us to do! Mt. 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations..." Just my 2cents worth :-) Cheri |

316 | Outside the camp, there's a place clean? | OT general | skccab | 202031 | ||
Shalom John, Like I told Brother Brad, you guys are right, I'm sure. For some reason, as I read that verse I had gotten it in my head that outside the camp was unclean, and therefore, the problem! But you guys must be correct in that not ALL of the area was unclean. I just hadn't thought it all through. (Sometimes I ask too quickly!) Cheri (P.S. Let me know when you're ready to replace that silly fun song in your head, dear brother. I have lots of them to share :-) ) |

317 | Outside the camp, there's a place clean? | OT general | skccab | 202028 | ||
Shalom Brad, Yes, you did make sense. As I remarked in my question, I asked quickly before really considering for myself. During the midnight hours I kind of came up with the same reasoning you suggested :-) The whole red heifer statute is a bit hard to figure out!! Thanks for the help, and the confirmation. Much appreciated. Cheri |

318 | Cloud and Smoke | Is 6:4 | skccab | 201912 | ||
Hi'ya Doc, The way the NASB reads, it is as though the smoke is secondary, that is, it isn't there to begin with, it follows (appears after) the train. So I was wondering if it would be equated with the cloud of glory or is it just smoke, or something else? Cheri |
