1	David's sons' priestly status	2 Sam 8:18	azurelaw	243690
	"...David's son were chief ministers." The Hebrew also has the meaning of "priest(s)". According to Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:Even though the Hebrew word for priests is used in this verse, David's sons would not serve as priests because they were from the tribe of Judah, not Levi. The ancient rabbis interpreted the statement to mean that the sons enjoyed some priestly privileges. I also think it unlikely that David would assign his sons to the office of priest for they are not of Levi tribe. Interestingly, my newest revised Chinese Union Version discarded the word "chief ministers"in their old version and use "priests" instead. I guess we might not get a definite answer as to whether they really took the priestly office or it is just an exaggerated expression by the author about their honorable status. Now my question: Taken the Amplified 2015 Translators' note into consideration, anywhere in the Bible mentions about any priestly privileges enjoyed by David's sons? Thank you and Shalom Azure

6	Why did God cast Lucifer out of heaven?	Luke 10:18	azurelaw	242410
	Dear Brother Doc, Ah..Ha... you hit the button faster than I :-) When typing the answering post, I have a thought that how wonderful and awesome it is that I am created human being not angels for we have been granted Salvation by our precious Lord Jesus that we will not perish forever. I could never understand such a mysterious loving act of God (Rome 16:26) but keep reminding myself to be thankful and stay obedient. Shalom Azure
7	Why did God cast Lucifer out of heaven?	Jude 1:6	azurelaw	242407
	Dear LiKiMa, Welcome to the forum. Those questions you asked sound like homework question and you have already answered your own question by asking "why did Lucifer disobey God" :-) Fallen angel sinned that's why they are punished (2 Peter 2:4). Jude 1:6 explains how did they sin. Angels are created as ministering spirits (Hebrew 1:14). Thus Jude 1:6 implies that they are not doing their own job but rebel against God. Shalom Azure
8	Stumbling allowed to strenghten?	Deut 4:34	azurelaw	242393
	Dear Nick, Welcome to the forum. The Bible contains many stories about God giving trials (Psalm 66:10, Proverbs 17:3) on His chosen people for strengthening and purifying them to fit for His loving purpose. However, most of the time, we stumble because of our own sinful behaviour. In that case, we must repent. One thing is for sure that God is forever loving, faithful and merciful. He will strengthen us no matter how bad it is for nothing is impossible in Him. I believe the below scriptures are what you need: Isaiah 48:10 Psalm 139:23 Rome 5:1-5 Shalom Azure

11	Should pastors/preachers be evaluated	1 Cor 4:4	azurelaw	242374
	Dear Brother Doc, Thank you and sorry for the late response. I will take a look at the cited article :-) We have pastors, elders and deacons. We do not have specific teaching elders. But if needed, elders will conduct teaching as well but depending on his capacity and ability or gift. In the past (well about 10 years ago), we did not have any official evaluation. However, due to some problems among the ministers (pastor and preachers), the board (contains pastor, elders, deacons) decided to set up an evaluation system in order to improve the communication. Now, new minister joined to the team and think that the evaluation is not according to the teaching in the bible based on the scripture I quoted here. I want to know if 1 Corinthian 4:1-5 relevant to the situation. If yes, how? (To me, the context of the scripture seems not answering this question. That's why I ask "how") If not, is there any scripture specifically/closely related to the issue? Thanks and shalom. Azure
12	Should pastors/preachers be evaluated	1 Cor 4:4	azurelaw	242344
	Dear daflodeo, Welcome to the forum and thank you for your comprehensive feedback and sharing of your thought and experience. I am afraid that I did not phrase my question clear enough. My point is: is it unbiblical to have an official evaluation system (something like performance appraisal in most organizations) at church on pastors/preachers base on the teaching of Paul as cited in my original post. I agree with your last paragraph concerning 1 Cor 4:1-5, but the context and background in Paul's days at Corinthian was that he was facing problem of division among church members who compare and criticise one another's leaders (Paul, Apollo, Peter). Thus he said about the accountability of the stewards in Chapter 4:1-5. Can this be generally applied to modern days church context when there is commonly a hierarchy system in most denominations and churches that there would be more or less some evaluation for a preacher moving onto the role of pastor? Hope my question is much clearer now. Shalom Azure
13	Should pastors/preachers be evaluated	1 Cor 4:4	azurelaw	242331
	Do you have something like performance evaluation for preachers/pastors at church in the U.S? Base on the teaching of Paul in 1 Cor 4:1-5, is it unbiblical to exercise any evaluation on church ministers? Base on the context, I don't think Paul was talking about the evaluation as of today. But how far should we understanding his teaching? Thanks for your help and input. Shalom Azure

17	Holy Spirit Gifted to All Christendom	Acts 2:32	azurelaw	242235
	Dear Brother Doc, In echo to your excellent quote, this is what our choir has offered on this Petecost:- Hymn to the Trinity (P. Tchaikovsky) Blessed angel spirits offer praise undying, Ever crying Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth. Saints and Martyrs praise Thy Name, Trinity life-giving, Earth-borne sorrow leaving before Thy throne, Ever crying Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth. Father omnipotent, mighty in glory, Christ Thy Son, our Saviour Who died that we might live. Holy Spirit, mystic dove, dwelling with us evermore, we praise Thee, we praise Thee, Blessed Trinity. With the Angels' sacred hymn, all Thy might proclaiming, with the mystic cherubim in songs of praise we join, Holy, Holy, Holy, join we all in songs of praise forever; Halelujah, Halelujah, Halelujah, Lord God of Sabaoth. Shalom Azure
