1 | noah fed the animals what? | Gen 2:21 | MWLaine | 232204 | ||
Some would say food that was right for those animals that were not in a hibernation state. Bears and squirrels, frogs and turtles hibernate...that we know of. There are many others also that do the same. Would we assume this to have potential to be a mammalian and reptilian capability. Thus by extension would we not assume that God could supernaturally command the animals to sleep. God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep. My kids lapse into sleep while driving. | ||||||
2 | SEEMS CONTRADICTION IN NUM 20:21-22. | Num 22:1 | MWLaine | 229822 | ||
The answer is in plain sight... God came to Balaam at night and said to him, "If the men have come to call you, rise up and go with them; but only the word which I speak to you shall you do." They did not come to call him. In the morning he rose and went... It seems the angel only told Balaam he would have killed him. Except for his donkey who saw more clearly than Balaam himself. Imagine that...a donkey with better spiritual vision than the prophet Balaam. Sometimes people must get the knot jerked in their tail before they see truth. |

3 | When did Jerusalem become holy? | Neh 11:1 | MWLaine | 229818 | ||
Gen 28:12 He had a dream, and behold, a ladder was set on the earth with its top reaching to heaven; and behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. This was at the high place of God, Jerusalem. Jacob declared it holy and built an altar. |

4 | did Enoch die | Gen 5:24 | MWLaine | 229817 | ||
Gen 5:24 Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. Heb 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God. Gods written word is truth. Sounds to me like Enoch was taken. Was it rapture? You be the judge. Rapture noun, verb tense tured, turing. noun 1. ecstatic joy or delight; joyful ecstasy. 2. Often, raptures. an utterance or expression of ecstatic delight. 3. the carrying of a person to another place or sphere of existence. 4. the Rapture, Theology . the experience, anticipated by some fundamentalist Christians, of meeting Christ midway in the air upon his return to earth. 5. Archaic . the act of carrying off. |

5 | Is Ishmael the father of Islam? | Gen 21:21 | MWLaine | 229286 | ||
Gen 16:12 "He will be a wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, And everyone's hand will be against him; And he will live to the east of all his brothers." Examination of this prohecy concerning Ishmael would be coherent to what we are seeing concerning the Muslim/Islamic world which will not live peacefully with its internal or external neighbors. Infidels, Christians and Jews...Buddhists and Hindu, have the hand of Jihad against them. And it appears that the Qu'ran trumps up the relationship between Ishmael and Abraham, to be something greater than what I can find it to be other than animous, in order to lend credibility to Islam to be anything more than that of a plaintiff "Me Too" inclusionary cry from the elder son of Abraham. Therefore I take this to be a prophecy of Islam as we see it today with the head being in Mecca to the east. The Muslim Faithful all bow to the east in prayer towards Mecca to further solidify my thoughts on this verse. I can only conclude that Ishmael is the legitimate father of Islam because of the root sin in which Abraham did not wait on God to fulfill His promise. Can I be dissuaded? |

6 | Is Ishmael the father is Islam? | Not Specified | MWLaine | 229218 | ||
In this a prophetic verse talking about Hagar's child Ishmael, I wonder if the angel talking to Hagar is prophesying the Muslim nation. The bloody borders of Islam are well known today and it is very well known that Ishmael figures in very prominently into the Hajj. Gen 16:12 "He will be a wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, And everyone's hand will be against him; And he will live to the east of all his brothers." Even though Arabs and Jews spring from the origin of Abraham they are brothers fighting and killing each other daily over Canaan. Such a sin as not waiting on God for a child has resulted in the catalyst for contention between brothers that has been easy picking from Satan himself who is the head of Islam. Ahmadinejad who is professing to destroy Israel when he has sufficient strength of nuclear power appears to be that "Wild Donkey". Any thoughts? |

8 | How to determine demonic posession? | Eph 6:13 | MWLaine | 221489 | ||
The inerrant bible...of course I believe the bible is perfect from stem to stern. Why don’t you just say that instead of sola scriptura? I had to Google sola scriptura to decide if I was serious about it. You know this type of response is why I stopped coming here…except for using this site to look up scripture that I can relay to other bloggers as I communicate with real atheists at Ray Comfort’s blog. So to those men and women who run this site thanks for the nice reference material and biblical search engine. It is quite the blessing. I can see though that I am not serious enough for this vaunted ivory tower. So fare thee well. MWL |

11 | Is the culmination of days upon us? | Not Specified | MWLaine | 210583 | ||
I want to ask a question of my fellow Christian brethren... If media or people in general started to refer to a political candidate as "The Messiah" and that political candidate professes to be a Christian don't most of you think that a saved Christian would find the suggestion extremely repugnant? And if people were refering to any one of you as "The Messiah" would you not set the record straight, immediately? How is it possible that Jeremiah Wright should be given a pass at the filth he spews from the pulpit? Should the 20-year association of a pastor to his congregant Obama be shrugged off and assumed to have no affect on the character of Obama, who aspires to the office of president? Shouldn't the community of Christians stand up and condemn Wright and his entire congregation including Obama? Is there anyone here on this site who has not been questioning what they are seeing in regards to one Barack Hussein Obama? I know I have...but regardless the outcome of tomorrows elections I pray that Gods plan unfolds and we who profess to love Jesus are able to play a part in what I consider evidence of the culmination of the game. I ask God to strengthen each and everyone of you who believe in Jesus and the pray that your mouth is opened freely to snatch as many as possible from the fate of eternal damnation. Amen. |

14 | what are all the little folly | Eccl 10:1 | MWLaine | 188692 | ||
A little folly? Lack of good judgment. A costly undertaking having an absurd or ruinous outcome. Therfore for a man vainly trying to demonstrate his wisdom, or honor, are found to usually become undone based upon the tiniest of follies. Like Osama Bin Laden's folly at poking at the USA sleeping giant. Eventually the giant wakes up and grinds the bones of their taunter to make their bread. Or, the foolish Jews who mistakenly shouted out that the blood of Jesus be upon they and their children. Guess what? It has been. Better to remain humble and be thought stupid than to open ones mouth thus removing all doubt. |

15 | Animals in the New Testament? | Prov 12:12 | MWLaine | 187580 | ||
Mark, Covering both of your posts in one post. Well the last couple of years post salvation(2002) my garden has suffered because I am immersed in a new endeavor, namely consumption of as much of the Word of God as I can read from the bible, and from various commentaries, and such. I am looking to sharpen my evangelical gift and prepare myself fully for each new foray into the world of the lost. Yes God feeds his creatures. Why because they are His, not ours. Even when we spend some of the money(Gods money) we have earned on purchasing a pet we have only still affirmed that God owns what is His. The little ball of fur that he has now put into your possesion is a test of what will you now do? In your case it is Hermit-Crabs. But you decided to have them...So was it Gods will? or Your will? that put them into your possesion. You could take them and release them to their natural habitat where they will get along just fine or you could continue to possess them. I have no real preference and am not alluding, to you, that you should change your course. Examination of the heart is what I am trying to get people to do when it comes to pets, hobbies, and other interests, that remove from men the hunger for the perfect relationship to God, through his Son Jesus. I am just stating the obvious in that, for me, time spent in an endeavor contrary to developing and using my spiritual gift seems to be senseless. I do see a value to putting a pet into the hands of a child who should learn the value of taking care of something outside of their own selfish needs. My little girl likes cats and we even had two in our home for a short period which I had to put the kybosh on because of undue strain put on mom, and I, when trying to keep a tidy-clean house. My little girl was saddened when the cats were sent away but mom and I were full of happiness that one less requirement to our already busy lives was put aside. Yeah!!! Seems to me that there was a patron Saint to animals. So I would assume that God, through the Holy Spirit, gives gifts of all types to different men and women. What then do we do to develop what we have been given because our gifts are to be shared with all men and women, and not...as I said before...to be hidden beneath a bushel basket.

16 | I am edified, can I help you? | Prov 12:12 | MWLaine | 187561 | ||
GKidder, I have been seeing your inputs on this issue (as in the following)... "You need to look in the book of Genesis to see why would even consider eating an animal in the first place. We eat meat and animals eat meat because of a direct response to sin. It’s because of Gods curse that we do these things, before the fall, all living things were vegetarians. And some day it will be that way again." .... Yes someday...but today I place myself squarely in this fallen world in which I place a greater emphasis on opening my mouth for Jesus to those humans who are lost and going to hell, than hiding my light under a bushel basket. I want to reach as many lost souls as I possibly can so that I can win the praise desired by all saints...WELL DONE THY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT. Concerning animals...I marvel at the range and complexity of animal life that God created. I have sit and watched hummingbirds and chipmunks in my garden and appreciate their single minded devotion to meeting their own needs (of which they are capable). The chipmunks are mindless to their danger, from me, as they dig up my carefully planted bulbs and garden beds. Yet, still they persist in defying my desire at having beautiful FLORA surrounding my patio. When they transition from eating the bulbs to burrowing under my homes foundation I change from passive to aggressive in ridding them from my garden as they are now dangerous to continued close contact based on my desire to maintain my homes continued sturdiness. I either banish(trap) or poison them to get them to leave the garden. In like fashion man did transgress the rules set down by God while we were in the garden with Him. And because of this we were banished from Eden. By the way God cursed the ground because of us, not us. But his sentence on man was that we should work the soil to provide our own food by the sweat of our brow. BTW: God killed the first animals to clothe Adam and Eve from their skins. I have a feeling/belief that having animals in our homes is based upon our attempt at setting up a selective micro-cosmic Eden. I also feel we are setting ourselves up as Gods to our pets. (This is my perception) We feed them, bathe them, clean up after them, and I sometimes believe that people expect a certain amount of Worship from their animals. A dog wags his tail and leaps with joy at his masters return to home(The Garden) in the evening after work. This brings satisfaction to the master that the dog does appreciate(worship) what is being done for it in all its upkeep, provided for by "The Master". A cat does not give half the joy to the Master as the dog but still they have their pleasant qualities. The master tolerates them as ankle ticklers and lap warmers in his garden. OH!!! What joy the master has in his garden. Only having to leave to earn his/her living by the sweat of his/her brow. But, in the cool of the evening the master can return home to his/her Eden and enjoy what he/she has worked so hard to provide for him/her self and maybe a cat, or a dog, and some fish in a bowl to round out the scene. What bliss!!! But, still next door a jealous husband beats his wife and terrorizes his kids. Down the street a little old man whithers away from malnourishment and neglect while his wealthy children only live across town. The teenage neighbor boy hates his life so much that he considers suicide. Problems, Problems, and more Problems. Could things change? YES!!! If these lost souls could be introduced to Jesus and be made aware of who he is; the Light of The World, both God and Man, the Sacrificial Lamb come to take away the sins of the world. Jesus came to offer a way of salvation to man, not animals. And now we, who are saved in Jesus Christ, owe it to our neighbors and our Real Master to stop wasting our precious time on things of this world that won't add to the spiritual fruit that our portion in the vine should be helping produce. Strive for the finish line and don't be side-tracked by these animal distractions. Seems plain as the nose on my face, which I can see if I close one eye. Why don't you close one eye and see what you are not seeing. NOW!!! The big question? Will you see this post as encouragment, or, discouragment? Enraging, or, edifying? I myself love men and women and hope that I can help those who are lost and without light. I will try my best to reflect the Lords Light so that some will be able to see.

17 | Animals in the New Testament? | Prov 12:12 | MWLaine | 187377 | ||
Lionheart, stjohn, and others, All of you who have helped in my edification on this issue deserve thanks. You are all my family members in Christ and as my family members I expected and recieved help on thrashing through what was happening in my spiritual life based on a disagreement with my sister over an animal. I had a disagreement with my sister on the length a person should go in providing Medical Attention to a pregnant cat. She had felt that the gestational period of the animal had been overshot and took the cat to a vet who wants to perform a C-Section delivery of the kittens. After delivery the vet was saying he was sure the cat is having trouble producing milk for the kittens and some alternate means of feeding them would have to occur. I responded to her that God made the animal to have kittens naturally and maybe she should just allow the cat to do what God had designed it to do. Were the cat to live or die I felt that God's Will be done. This got me called Hard-Hearted and told that anyone who would so torture or kill an animal would not slide gracefully into heaven. I don't think either of her comments were valid but Romans 14 puts me in a position in which I know I am right but why have the argument with someone who is at a different Christian maturity level. In the end I apologized for my callous words and asked "How about them Colts???". My position is known to all who have read these posts so I appreciate the call to Matthew 6:13 and Romans 14 and finally the truth that even the cats and dogs, living in the home, of a person who has found salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ benefit from the this persons new outlook on life. Well said and very edifying. |

18 | Animals in the New Testament? | Prov 12:12 | MWLaine | 187356 | ||
Thank you lionheart, I have been struggling with why I consider this over attention to animals sin and Matthew 6:33 nails it. I have always held to the idea that animals are animals. The dog I am petting today could be dinner tomorrow given my pressed need to feed my family. I suppose some people would find that a little twisted but I think God put all things here on earth for the good of men and women whom are made in Gods likeness. Plus, I also think that animals have a work purpose, as well, in deserving to have a relationship with the human they serve. Cats catch and eat mice and other vermin that bring disease around the household. Dogs provide an early warning system for danger. For this service we feed them thus maintaining their loyalty. It seems though that people pamper their pets as if they have a greater intrinsic value than what I can find to be biblical. My belief is that Idol Worship and False Gods, akin to the way Egyptians Worshipped Animals, is at the root of this problem. MWLaine |

19 | Animals in the New Testament? | Prov 12:12 | MWLaine | 187330 | ||
I SEE PETS AS A DISTRACTION FROM THE MISSION OF SPREADING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. MANY TIMES SINGLE PEOPLE WILL HAVE A PET COMPANION THAT KEEPS THEM FROM BEING LONELY WHEN INSTEAD THAT LONELINESS SHOULD DRIVE THESE SAME PEOPLE OUT INTO THE WORLD WHERE THEY SHOULD BE OPENING THEIR MOUTHS FOR CHRIST. I see people going way overboard in how they do show affection for animals...I have been witness to people pushing pets in baby carriages, providing the best foods for the pets fussy palate, letting it sleep in their beds, kissing the dog, and wiping or picking up its feces after it has made its doody. All these things people would do for a dog or a cat and yet would these same people bother to stop and talk to anyone about Jesus? Or, are they too busy taking care of their little distraction? I think PETA people are so zealous for animal justice that they would march in protests and burn animal test facilities to the ground yet these same people don't seem give a rip for babies ripped from the womb through murderous abortion. I never read of Jesus even once petting or loving on an animal. Nor, for that matter any of the Apostles after Jesus' departure. The times I did see animals mentioned in the New Testament it was in a working relationship with humans. Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a foal of a Donkey, comes to mind. I don't care if a person has animals that have a valid working relationship to their owner I just think it is a major distraction from what we Christians should be doing and that is spreading the Word, encouraging the saints, building the kingdom of heaven. Now with this young man having committed these heinous murders at Virginia Institute of Technology I think what if someone had taken the time to put an arm around him and lead him to the truth. I know Jesus would have. And the only way we can find these types of lost souls is by opening our mouths. |

20 | Mans appropriate relation to animals? | Not Specified | MWLaine | 187293 | ||
Are there any references in the bible concerning man and appropriate relationships with animals? I have two brothers and one sister that keep cats and dogs living in their homes which create, for me, a problem with visiting them as I find the idea of cohabitation with animals in the home repulsive because of all the shed hair, fleas, and nasty excretions being left on rugs. In terms of groups like PETA I think they are Idol Worshippers of beasts. When I see someone give a tongue kiss to a dog I consider it repulsive beastiality. Are there any references to people keeping pets in the Old or New Testament that justifies the way people treat animals, nowadays? MWLaine |
