5	Horses eating horses?	Bible general	jlhetrick	240084
	But it's not there. Maybe the best discussion would be to discuss the importance of not trying to make the Bible say something it doesn't say. Your friend might benefit from that and learn to read and understand what is written.
6	Bringing the Dead to Life	John 11:34	jlhetrick	240037
	"To be poor in spirit is to realize that I have nothing, am nothing, and can do nothing, and have need of all things. Poverty of spirit is evident in a person when he is brought into the dust before God to acknowledge his utter helplessness. It is the first experiential evidence of a Divine work of grace within the soul, and corresponds to the initial awakening of the prodigal in the far country when he “began to be in want”- Pink, A. W. (2005).
7	Three times Paul says his gospel was a m	Rom 16:25	jlhetrick	240015
	I wasn't aware that "We" were ignoring it. Can you be more specific please?
8	why are the Jews God's chosen people?	Genesis	jlhetrick	239632
	Great answer and response Doc. The question being "why are the Jews God's chosen people" is a great question to consider. We are fortunate that God Himself told us so plainly in the text you quoted from Deuteronomy leaving no doubt that it was in fact God’s sovereign choice having no dependency on the people or any single person. Your reference to Romans 3: 10-19 is well aligned with that of Ephesians 2:8-9 as well as Romans 12:3 and
9	Creation days	Genesis	jlhetrick	238954
	I understand Jalek - I would encourage you to not be distracted by that question that you still cannot answer as there are so many truths of scripture that, once answered for us, are truly edifying. The rabbit trails can appear interesting and inviting but in the end really only circle back having gone nowhere.
10	Creation days	Genesis	jlhetrick	238950
	Hi Jalek - one of the most important reasons to "read it carefully" is to ensure we don't read something into it that isn't there. It's also important that we don't assume that The Creator God is limited in ways that our logic might suggest He should be. In other words, we shouldn't assume (especially in the clear context given in the opening verses of Scripture) that God was required to put one before the other. This is why I didn't offer my own creative explanation of the first verse in Scripture. It, Scripture, speaks for itself. Still, we are given a logic to think and problem solve and even to help us understand and interpret Scripture. We are "thinking" creatures. With that said, I would argue the logical point that if something comes first (verse 1) we shouldn't attempt to put verse 5 ahead of it. If we are reading carefully we can't possibly point to verse 5 to support your point can we? Reading carefully would require that we also read the verses between 1 and 5, particularly verse 3. Verse 3 says "Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light." . Notice the adverb "then". Then in verse 4 it says "God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.". Finally, we get to verse 5 where it says that God called the light day and the darkness night declaring "one day". Without reading into the text myself or trying to say something is there that isn't there my best attempt to understand the text, as it is written, is that God created the heavens and the earth (verse 1) AFTER that He called light onto the formless void and still after that he separated that light from the darkness at which "time" (no pun intended) TIME as the earth and it's creatures would know it began.
11	Creation days	Genesis	jlhetrick	238940
	In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 (NASB)
12	Who di God listen to in Old testement?	OT general	jlhetrick	238580
	isn't like us to bargain with God... as if we can persuade Him?
13	Who di God listen to in Old testement?	OT general	jlhetrick	238579
	Very Good... God wasn't bargaining... Abraham was.
14	What are the names of daughters of israe	Bible general Archive 4	jlhetrick	238194
	I believe your answer, EdB is referring to something different from the "daughters of Israel" (plural) that Carl might be asking about. Dinah was the only daughter born to Jacob (who God renamed Israel (Genesis 32:28). If Carl63 cold be more specific with his question we might better respond. I believe he is referring to passages such as Deut 23:17, Judg. 11:40, 2 Sam. 1:24, etc... in which case Doc has already answered appropriately. Is Doc's answer what you were looking for Carl?
15	At the Beginning of His Story	Deut 4:10	jlhetrick	238049
	I remember when I had a couple years of real study under my belt I had the feeling (if not the attitude?) that I had much of it figured out. The more I learn to the point of knowing the bigger it all becomes. The bigger it gets the more I realize my years of study are like a razor blade slightly scraping away a layer of dust. Someday I may get far enough along to do the sanding and, who knows, may even get a chance to do some painting.

	This is as far as I could get before my contacts dried out and I couldn't read anymore. I think I duplicated Doc once or twice.

20	What does it mean to be "in Christ"?	Bible general Archive 4	jlhetrick	237164
