1 | do i have to go to church | NT general | meusing | 210167 | ||
Well, since 'church' is an assembly of believers who are going to heaven because of their belief in Jesus, no. As someone said, "You don't go to church, you are the church." |

5 | how is it relevant to day | 1 Kin 20:28 | meusing | 166370 | ||
I am not sure how relevent it is. "The Lord is God of the hills but He is not God of the valleys" was a blasphemy that the Syrians said and which The LORD took exception to. They did not understand that THE LORD is God of all. | ||||||
6 | meaning of "sat in the gate" | Deut 16:1 | meusing | 163715 | ||
I believe that DocTrinsograce answered that on Sunday. he said then: ' Eastern peoples used the city gates as the place where business, government, and judicial decisions were made. The term "gates" eventually came to be used as a term to describe the place of authority for a city or nation. Based on the verse you have cited, we know that Lot had become a person of some influence in the city of Sodom. This does not mean that he was necessarily involved in the immorality of that wicked city, although Peter tells us that his soul was "vexed" by being exposed so regularly to their thinking (see 2 Peter 2:7-8). In Him, Doc' |

8 | Numbers 12 thesis | Num 12:1 | meusing | 163689 | ||
Hi, I am not sure of what you intend to cover, but this might help. C. H. MacKintosh sugests seeing chapter 12 in two ways; one typical, the other practcal. He says, "In the union of Moses with "the Ethiopian woman," we have a type of that great and marvellous mystery, the union of the Church with Christ her Head. This subject has come before us in our study of the Book of Exodus; but we see it here, in a peculiar light, as that which evokes the enmity of Aaron and Miriam. the sovereign actings of grace draw forth the opposition of those who stand upon the ground of natural relationship and fleshly privilege." Darby's synopsis of the chapter is: "Num 12:1-16 - After that (for what form will not rebellion assume?) Miriam and Aaron speak against Moses. It is the prophetess and the priest (one who has the word from God and access to God, the twofold character of the people of God), who rise up against him who is king in Jeshurun, with whom God speaks as unto His friend. In this Moses is in all respects a type of Christ, who stands personally outside the rights which grace has conferred upon the people. Faithful in all the house of God, he enjoys close intercourse with Him. Miriam and Aaron ought to have been afraid. The excuse of the two rebels was, that Moses had taken an Ethiopian woman-a blessed sign for us of the sovereignty of grace which has introduced into the blessing of Christ those who had no right or title to it. The people of God, whatever their privileges, ought to have recognised this sovereignty. Israel would not, and was smitten with leprosy. It is, however, in their character of witness or prophet that they suffer this chastening. Aaron resumes his place of intercessor, and speaks humbly to Moses (a figure, I think, of the humiliation of Israel, grounded on the value of the intercession of Christ, identifying Himself with the position of the people). God's answer is, that Miriam should be humbled and chastened, shut out, for a time, from intercourse with Him, then restored to favour again. The people wait for her restoration. Let us remember that the Lord here recalls this fact, that the most glorious position for Moses was that when he was separated from the people-when he pitched his tent without the camp, and called it the tabernacle of the congregation or meeting. The people had but too much forgotten this. When the members of the church also, in the thought of making themselves spiritual, take advantage of their glory and position as prophets and priests (characters which do indeed belong to them), to disown the rights of Christ, as king in Jeshurun, having authority over the house of God, there is room for considering whether they are not guilty of the rebellion here spoken of. For my part, I believe they are." |

9 | Help!!! | Bible general Archive 3 | meusing | 163681 | ||
That is great that you know one Muslim that is born again. To be born again he must acknowledge that Jesus died for his sins and rosea gain for his life. Both those things are denied by Muslims. Muslims believe that Jesus never died on the cross to save us; and they believe that he was never ressurected since they believe he was never crucified. I was replying to your quote that Peter Tsukahira said that 'the Muslims will be the Gentiles that will bring the Jews to the Lord'. So I just asked which 'LORD' did he mean. The Lord Jesus Christ? I do not under estimate the power of the Gospel on the heart and mind of Muslims. When they believe that Jesus died and rose again for their sins, they are Christians not Muslims who do not believe in the crucifiction and ressurection. |

10 | the eagle and the bear verse | Bible general Archive 3 | meusing | 163634 | ||
I really don't think there is such a verse. I did a seach on 'eagle' and there was no verse that metioned a bear. Same thing happened when I did a seach on 'bear' .. no mention of eagle in any of the verses. |

11 | Why was Jehu to be punished by God? | Hos 1:4 | meusing | 163625 | ||
John Calvin asked this question, and this is his reasoning: For yet a little while, and I will visit the slaughters of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu. Here interpreters labour not a little, because it seems strange that God should visit the slaughter made by Jehu, which yet he had approved; nay, Jehu did nothing thoughtlessly, but knew that he was commanded to execute that vengeance. He was, therefore, God’s legitimate minister; and why is what God commanded imputed to him now as a crime? This reasoning has driven some interpreters to take “bloods” here for wicked deeds in general: ‘I will avenge the sins of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu.’ Some say, “I will avenge the slaughter of Naboth:” but this is wholly absurd, nor can it suit the place, for, “upon the house of Jehu,” is distinctly expressed; and God did not visit the slaughter on the house of Jehu, but on the house of Ahab. But they who are thus embarrassed do not consider what the Prophet has in view. For God, when he wished Jehu with his drawn sword to destroy the whole house of Ahab, had this end as his object, — that Jehu should restore pure worship, and cleanse the land from all defilements. Jehu then was stirred up by the Spirit of God, that he might re-establish God’s pure worship. When a defender of religion, how did he act? He became contented with his prey. After having seized on the kingdom for himself, he confirmed idolatry and every abomination. He did not then spend his labour for God. Hence that slaughter with regard to Jehu was robbery; with regard to God it was a just revenge. this view ought to satisfy us as to the explanation of this passage; and I bring nothing but what the Holy Scripture contains. For after Jehu seemed to burn with zeal for God, he soon proved that there was nothing sincere in his heart; for he embraced all the superstitions which previously prevailed in the kingdom of Israel. |

Hi, you might check out "Human Destiny" by Sir Robert Anderson. Charles H.Spurgeon said of it that it was "the most valuable contribution on the subject" he had ever seen. It is on the 'web at: http://www.newble.co.uk/anderson/destiny/destinypref1.html |

You said "the Muslims will the Gentiles that will bring the Jews to the Lord" I wonder what "lord" the Muslims will bring the Jews to. The Lord Who said "This is My beloved Son." Mat. 3:17 and other places in the New Testament. Or, Allah who said "I have no son." |

15 | Lifting hands worship Yes/No? Acts 17:25 | Acts 17:25 | meusing | 155767 | ||
As I see it Acts 17:25 refers to the fact that God does not NEED our worship. Heis not dependant on us for anything, we are dependant of Him for everything. It does not mean the literal raising of hands in worship. just my meusings |

16 | "Adam, Where are you?" explained | Gen 3:9 | meusing | 155755 | ||
"Gleanings" has a good explanation of this verse quote: Genni the wonder dog and I strolled around the lake last night. As we neared the playground, we heard a mother calling to her child "Where are you?" The child giggled and yelled, "Here I am" then hid. Mom called out again, "Where are you?" and got the same response. They were having a wonderful time. Of course mom could see the child all the time, but the child thought she was well hidden. I was reminded of the first time those words were ever spoken. Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?" Genesis 3:8-9 NIV Adam and Eve had sinned and were hiding from God. Being God, He knew exactly where they were hiding. Why would He call them if He already knew where they were? To give them the opportunity to admit their mistake and be reconciled to God. Adam and Eve heard the call, and answered, but rather than be reconciled they chose to blame others for their sin. A wondrous opportunity was wasted. God calls to all of us, "Where are you?" For those who do not know Him, it is a call to be reconciled and come to saving faith. For them it is the sound of the shepherd calling for the lost sheep. It is the sound of the foghorn warning of danger ahead if you do not change your course. It is a shrill alarm screaming, "Turn back!" For those of us who know Him, it is a reminder that He wants to fellowship with Him. It is the call of a songbird seeking its mate. It is the excited yell of the father when the prodigal came home. In the words of the familiar song: "Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling. Calling for you and for me." He calls day and night for His lost children to return and for His found children to spend time with Him. Until next time, will you answer His call Hallelu Yah (Praise the Lord) close quote. |

17 | Why (does) did the Lord hide his face? | Isaiah | meusing | 155586 | ||
The book of Isaiah is about calling God's people (the house of Jacob) to repentance by showing them the result of their sins. Isa 59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. and Isa 54:8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. ----- just my meusings |

18 | Flesh of Jesus admit and separate? | Heb 10:20 | meusing | 155584 | ||
As I see it, Hebrews deals in types. In 10:20 the veil seems to be a type of Christ's flesh. John Gill explained: "'done through the vail,' that is to say, his flesh; the human nature of Christ, through which the way to heaven is opened, renewed, and consecrated, is compared to the vail of the tabernacle, Exo 26:31 the matter of which that was made, was fine twined linen, which the Jews (y) say was of thread six times doubled; which may denote the holiness of Christ's human nature; the strength, courage, and steadfastness of it, under all its sorrows and sufferings; and the purity and duration of his righteousness; the colours of it were blue, purple, and scarlet, which may signify the sufferings of the human nature; the preciousness of Christ's blood, and the dignity of his person, and his royalty; purple and scarlet being wore by kings: the vail was of cunning work, which may intend the curious workmanship of Christ's human nature, and the graces of the Spirit, with which it is adorned; and it was made with "cherubim", pointing to the ministration of angels, both to Christ, and to his people. The pillars of it may signify the deity of Christ, the support of his human nature, in which it has its personal subsistence; and being of Shittim wood, may denote his eternity: and being covered with gold, his glory: its hooks and sockets may be symbolical of the union of the two natures in him." Calvin said "20. Through the veil, etc. As the veil covered the recesses of the sanctuary and yet afforded entrance there, so the divinity, though hid in the flesh of Christ, yet leads us even into heaven; nor can any one find God except he to whom the man Christ becomes the door and the way. Thus we are reminded, that Christ’s glory is not to be estimated according to the external appearance of his flesh; nor is his flesh to be despised, because it conceals as a veil the majesty of God, while it is also that which conducts us to the enjoyment of all the good things of God." |

19 | Love God, His word, any difference? | Ps 95:10 | meusing | 153314 | ||
The best illustration of this is the story of a young woman who tried to read a book a friend had recommended to her. She found it very boring and put it aside. A few weeks later she went to a party and met the author of the book. He made quite an impression on her. (So much so that a year later she married him). Anyway, she went home and reread the book and was fasinated by it. The difference? She had met the auhor of the book and it was an insight ito his mind. The Bible is precious to us since we know the Author and we Know more about the Author through His word. |

20 | What is the AKJV? | 1 John 5:7 | meusing | 152955 | ||
Hi Jesus came BECAUSE God is a God of love. Jesus came and took the punishment that our sins deserved. Those who do not believe in Jesus, will be coming into God's presence (sp?) without the shed blood of Jesus. That is like someone trying to board a train or plane without buying a ticket. He just assumes that because he led a good life that the pilot or conducter likes him he is entitled to a free ride. It is always good to aline our mind with what the Bible says. When Jesus proclaimed God's love in John 3:16, He went on to say, John 3:17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. John 3:18 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. |
