161	five verses in Psalms 119	Psalm	skccab	199757
	Shalom Bellashay, Are you wanting to know which five verses don't mention the Word of God in one form or another? Why don't you read the Psalm for yourself and I'm sure you'll discover the verses you're looking for. If you don't, you'll at least have blessed yourself with a beautiful moment in the Lord's Word. :-) Cheri
162	the name of G-d?	Judg 11:39	skccab	199746
	Shalom Halroy The short answer to you is "no." Using "God" or "Lord" is Not profaning, nor blaspheming, nor using His name in vain. If you had finished reading the thread you would have seen that I told brother John that I wrote that post to him quickly (on the run as it were) and I just wrote it out without thinking. :-) It's simply a matter of choice that I have made, personally. Abba sees into the heart, He doesn't need to see what we've writter here on this forum (or anywhere else, for that matter). There are some people who refer to God as "the Big Guy" or "the Dude upstairs", (no one here at SBF)and for all I know they may be using those terms as reverently as I try to use the terms I choose to use - it's not for any of us to judge their hearts (maybe their actions)- Abba knows their hearts and intents. If I caused a problem for anyone I beg your forgiveness - but Abba knows my heart is only for Him. Cheri
163	Bride and Guests at Lamb's Wedding	Revelation	skccab	199569
	Shalom y'all I apologize for the mis-spellings. When I spell checked, the system would not let me go back in to correct. When I hit the "back button" it took me 3 times to a fresh answer box, not to my answer box. Go figure. Cheri
164	Bride and Guests at Lamb's Wedding	Revelation	skccab	199568
	Shalom JoeAnn, That's a very good question. One that I've asked many people and have yet to get an answer I can hang my hat on. :-) I still hold to the verses in Rev. 21:9-11, that tells us in no uncertain words just what the bride is: 21:9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with teh seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, "Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife." 21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showdd me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descencing out of heaven from God, 21:11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. Then the verses go on to describe the city. I, too, have trouble thinking of myself as the bride of the Lamb when we are also told that we are the Body of Messiah, we are brethren to the Messiah, we are the adopted children of the King, Father of Messiah - being the bride also just doesn't fit in well. I can see relating as a bride to a bridegroom but not being the bride. But, because this really has nothing to do with our salvation, only where we're going to spend eternity in our salvation, I don't worry over it so much anymore. But it's a very good question. I'll be interested in what others have to say. still learning :-) Cheri
165	Dissapointment in this sites response...	Ps 16:11	skccab	199538
	Shalom Faith..., I have read and re-read numerous times the Books of Moses and I cannot recall oral sex being mentioned in and of itself. I can offer this thought - oral sex is actually much more intimate than intercourse so it's got to be on the same lines with sexual intercourse and the Bible leaves no room for questions about that being sin outside of marriage. Now, the fact that you are still in high school and your "boy"friend is just that - a friend and not your husband you should not be trying to split hairs on God's commandments, trying to figure out what you can "get away with" with God. Enjoy your years of dating - kiss lightly, hold hands, hug - and leave thoughts of sex to one word "NO" and you'll be blessed. God will bless you with a wonderful husband someday. Until then, enjoy your years that belong to your youth - you'll grow up soon enough. I know this wasn't the answer you were seeking - but I'm talking to you as a mom to her beloved daughter. Receive it as such. Cheri
166	Where to find Biblical Hebrew forum?	Bible general Archive 4	skccab	199307
	Shalom Doc, Check out Hebrew4Christians, there's a forum there and also a very good area for learning the basics in Hebrew. I would imagine that you can follow the links from that site to other sites that might be at your level, and of interest to you. Enjoy Cheri
167	Is procreation a command or a blessing	Gen 9:1	skccab	198881
	Shalom Azure, I'll jump in here, if you don't mind, for there is one thing that took place at this friend's marriage that hasn't been touched on - the oath, the vow, the committment. Tell your friend to do a study on how the Father feels about those things. Which is more important, fulfilling a vow, a committment or sexual gratification? Still learning, too Cheri
168	three wedding ceremonies	OT general	skccab	198792
	Shalom William, I think you might get a better response if you would provide book/chapter/verse on this "wedding week." I, personally, have no idea about 3 ceremonies within a week's time. Thank you Cheri
169	Messianic Jews	Bible general Archive 4	skccab	198700
	Shalom LJ777, I am not Jewish, but I am messianic. I believe in Yeshua completely and I also believe that the Sabbath is God's holy day, and observe God's feasts and holidays. Does that count? Cheri
170	Why translations use LORD not Yahweh?	Ex 3:15	skccab	198603
	Shalom James 008, I am just beginning to learn Hebrew, but I think I may know enough to answer your question. Biblical Hebrew has no vowels, only vowel symbols which were created long after the Torah scrolls were written. (They are used in Hebrew Bibles but still not in the Torah scrolls.) No one really knows what vowel sounds were originally given to the Tetragrammatron (spelling?) yod-hei-vav-hei. For that matter, people who use the word Yahweh, I think, have it wrong, for in Biblical Hebrew there is no "W" sound (in modern Hebrew the vav can be either a "V" sound or a "W' sound.) Anyway, I think that's the main reason the translators don't use the name "Yahweh," because no one knows for sure just how to write it out correctly. Or, it could be that they took their cue from the Jewish people who don't use the name for that reason, as well as they believe the name to be too holy to utter. I hope this helped a bit Cheri
171	Christiant without relationship	Gen 2:18	skccab	198335
	Shalom Hadassah, This is just my opinion and I may get corrected by those more knowledgeable but here goes: If I'm involved in anything and there is no explicit guidance about it in Scripture - if my heart (or mind) begins to question it, then I need to quit it because it is obviously sin to me (though not necessarily to anyone else) and that will hinder my relationship to my Father, because I will eventually come under conviction about it. (I must decide which is more important - what I'm doing or my relationship with my Father.) If my heart (or mind) has no question about the thing I'm doing (and there is no explicit guidance on it in Scripture) then for me it is OK to do the thing (although to someone else it could be a sin). I cannot advise you one way or another about your relationship with this person, except to tell you to read the scripture and pray - then OBEY what you hear. Your sister in the family of God Cheri
172	God sought Moses to kill him	Ex 4:24	skccab	198234
	Shalom Hadassah, Since your question posted 4 times, I'll go ahead and try to answer at least your first question; someone more knowledgeable may answer both much better. In Exod. 2:8 we're told that Moses' birth mother was paid to nurse him and remembering Isaac's feast at being weaned at 5 years of age, I think we can safely figure they had 5 years together. She surely shared his heritage with him. And in Exod. 2:11 we're told that Moses was aware of his lineage with the Hebrews. The burning bush episode begins in 3:2 and appears to go on until 4:17. We are not told how much time passed from verse 17 to verse 20 - hours? days? weeks? In Exod 4:20 we're told that Moses began his journey back to Egypt and in verse 24 at some emcampment God sought to kill him. We are not told how much time passed between those four verses, but it must have been at least 1 or 2 days. You would think (and I'll bet God thought so too) that the man who was going to rescue his brethren from Egypt would at least have circumcised his own sons by now (remember, he knew he was born a Hebrew). How would the Hebrew elders receive Moses if they found out that his sons were not circumcised? There may be more to the story than what I'm seeing, but this is how I understand it :-). Your question about Pharaoh is a good one, but I don't have an answer. I'll be watching this thread to see what others will tell you. HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Cheri
173	daniel 11:37 translation differences	Dan 11:37	skccab	197952
	Good morning bible believer, I don't have any references right at hand but I do have a little bit of logic. First the Jews are still looking for their Messiah to come (and he must be Jewish), and second, this Messiah will bring peace to Israel, and third, this antichrist is supposed to deceive the Jews in particular. So it stands to reason that most likely antichrist will be Jewish, at least by heritage if not in faith (but it wouldn't surprise me if outwardly he appeared to be a very pious Jew). Just my 2cents worth at 4am :-) Cheri
174	archaeological bible?	Bible general Archive 4	skccab	197592
	Shalom Michael, How are you? I owned one when it first came out. I loved the way they made the pages look like old parchment paper, and the articles in it were very interesting, and the pictures awesome. But I gave it away, the print was way tooooo small for my old eyes (which even in my youth weren't very good at seeing such small things). Enjoy!! :-) Cheri
175	verse on sabbatical year	Jer 34:8	skccab	197452
	Hey Azure, Let me try again, didn't notice the first time that you were already in ch. 34. :-) The only other reference I have found in Jer. (at least up to ch. 48) about the Sabbatical year is in 29:10, would that be connected? Cheri
176	verse on sabbatical year	Jer 34:8	skccab	197451
	Shalom Azure, I think it may be Jer. 34:8-22 that you're looking for? Cheri
177	Masturbation a sin?	Bible general Archive 4	skccab	197381
	Howdy again, I'm not going to try to say yea or nay to this being a sin - but let me ask you one simple question: Is that an activity that you would like to be doing when Yeshua comes to call His own home? Just some food for thought... Shalom Cheri
178	Additional question!	1 John 3:9	skccab	197373
	Shalom jesus1km Once again, let's go to 1 John. This time to 3:5-9 5- And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6- Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. 7- Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8- He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9- Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. These scriptures simply mean that you (any believer) will not willfully choose to sin, not that they will never commit a wrong. When you find that you have committed a wrong, confess it, clean it up, brush yourself off and move on for Romans 8:1 says There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Messiah Yeshua, who do not walk according to hte flesh, but according to hte Spirit. Actually, it would be to your benefit if you read the whole book of 1 John (it's very short, will only take about a half hour). Read it prayerfully, it will help aleviate your worries. Cheri
179	The Lord commanded baptism	NT general	skccab	197351
	jesus1km, This is where the debate and confusion comes in and it shouldn't really. I John 3:19-24 says And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. 20 - For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our hearet, and knows all things. 21 - Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. 22 - And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. 23 - And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Yeshua Messiah and love one another, as He gave us commandment. 24 - Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, bu the Spirit whom He has given us. If your heart is condemning you for not being baptized, then by all means do it for it is sin to you not to receive baptism. If your heart is not condemning you, then do it as an act of obedience (or don't do it, your salvation is not dependant upon it). My personal view is: in whatever deed I can do out of obedience to my Lord, I rejoice!! If in everything we do and say, we remember that we are the children of the King of the universe and when people see us they see our Father, then we will do our best to make sure everything we do and say will bring honor and not disgrace to His name. That is what "works" is. Just doing everything in His name to His glory and honor. Cheri
180	Should I be water baptized?	NT general	skccab	197324
	Hi again, Water baptism is a subject that is highly debated among believers, but here is my understanding of it: Salvation is by grace through faith in the finished work of the Messiah only. Eph. 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 - not of works, lest anyone should boast. Soooo - you are saved with or without water baptism, because baptism is a "work." But - John says in 1 John 3:9-10a 9 - Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. 10a - In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God... How do we practice righteousness? James says in James 2:17 and 18 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 - but someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. Soooo - water baptism is a form of works that shows your faith by obedience, for it was commanded by our Lord to be baptised. I'm sure others will offer more (and different) scriptures, read them all and pray over them. The Holy Spirit will guide you in this. Cheri
