1 | What are the different types of worship? | Bible general Archive 2 | compudex | 111075 | ||
Greetings Vala, Psa 29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. First, God is Holy and that demands reverence. Whatever you do in the name of the Lord with that in mind is worship. That could also included a terrible amount of joy which is sometimes hard to contain. And that is worship, too. David danced naked in front of the Lord. You could be a Holy-Roller, that is worship. You could be very proper and quiet, that also is worship. Jesus said, If you love me you will keep my commandments, that also is worship. Whatever is right and you do is worship. There is nothing you can do with God in your heart and mind that does not please Him. In this context all is worship. compudex |

6 | ABRAM AND SARAI NAME CHANGE ACURE | Gen 17:4 | compudex | 101977 | ||
Greetings lisakb, Gen 17:1-22 Gen 17:4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be the father of a multitude of nations. Gen 17:5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I made thee. Gen 17:15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. Gen 17:16 And I will bless her, and moreover I will give thee a son of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be of her. God said, "Behold, my covenant is with thee..". That makes it personal. As we, personally, today enter into a covenent with Jesus by accepting Him as Saviour, we too, get a new name. Not our christian name, but a new name written down in the Lamb's Book of Life.(Phi 4:3)(Rev 2:17)(Rev 3:5)(Rev 21:27) It was a sign to Abram and Sarai of a new covenant that was established between them by God Himself. Peace to you! |

8 | "...sin against God?" | Gen 39:9 | compudex | 102113 | ||
Hello Glenn, Joseph was from a house of nobility. Father - Jacob. Grandfather - Isaac Great Grandfather - Abraham He was raised knowing the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Honoring family and friends. And no doubt the tale of the sinful promiscuous activity that was performed in Sodom and Gomorra, were passed down as fact from generation to generation, so was the act of God's wrath against such activity was passed on. And the fact that Sodom and Gomorra were destroyed by God would be proof in the pudding that that type of activity was sin unto God. Joseph's Great Grandfather, Abraham, witnessed this. As to Joseph's character: (Gen 39:2) And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. "And Joseph was a goodly person.." (Gen 39:6) And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.

10 | differece between tithes and first fruit | Lev 27:30 | compudex | 111104 | ||
Greetings olaoluwa, DEFINITIONS: FIRST-FRUITS, n. 1. The fruit or produce first matured and collected in any season. Of these the Jews made an oblation to God, as an acknowledgment of his sovereign dominion. 2. The first profits of any thing. In the church of England, the profits of every spiritual benefice for the first year. 3. The first or earliest effect of any thing, in a good or bad sense; as the first-fruits of grace in the heart, or the first-fruits of vice. TITHE, n. The tenth part of any thing; but appropriately, the tenth part of the increase annually arising from the profits of land and stock, allotted to the clergy for their support. Tithes are personal, predial, or mixed; personal, when accruing from labor, art, trade and navigation; predial, when issuing from the earth, as hay, wood and fruit; and mixed, when accruing from beasts, which are fed from the ground. Example 1: A farmer: First-fruit: When the first apples mature on the trees. Tithe: One tenth of the harvest for that season. Example 2: A worker: First-fruit: Their first paycheck for that year. Tithe: One tenth of all their earnings for the year. These are just simple examples, the older Levitical Laws were much more complicated. Frist-fruit appears to deal more with what the ground brings forth. First-fruits and tithes were brought to the House of the Lord for the Levites so they would not be burdened with daily chores but could then devote all their time in their service to the Lord. The Levites did not receive any "land or real estate" inheretance in the Promised Land as the other tribes did. Their inheretance was The House of the Lord and to serve Him. SCRIPTURE: Tithes: Lev 27:30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S: it is holy unto the LORD. Lev 27:31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof. Lev 27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD. Lev 27:33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. First-fruits: Deu 26:2 That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there. Hope this helps. It is a fasinating study which gets quite involved. Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. compudex |

11 | Am I going to Heaven | Deut 23:2 | compudex | 105150 | ||
Dear stonerocker, (about Deut 23:2; many are unclear about this, some say that it means serving in the congregation or the tabernacle with the Levites) For by the LAW none will be saved. "For all we like sheep have gone astray. There is none good, no not one." Christ came not to do away with the law but to fulfill the law. He is the fulfillment of the law in that what we could not do under the law He did. Therefore rendering Him sinless. And, as a sinless sacrifice on Calvary, He became the offering to the Father for ALL of us. Your concern is very important. You have a desire to do what is right and ask this question. As our Lord says, "Let not your heart be troubled, if you believe in God, believe in me also." First things first. God DOES NOT LIE!!!! Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Here, Isaiah is talking about the coming of the Messiah, Christ Jesus, who will take away the sins of the world. Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Above we see three (3) phrases that are the MOST important. 1. whosoever believeth 2. sent not 3. to condemn And finally the results of that promise..."should not perish, but have everlasting life." But, mainly the very point of all this is up to you. Do you believe? This question that everyone must answer is the solution. Peace to you, compudex |

12 | ...liars, shall have their part in.... | 1 Sam 21:1 | compudex | 102305 | ||
Hello GeoJoy, "Yet there are occurrences therein where the individual tells “what appears” to be a blatant lie, and is either blessed for the action, or there is simply no more mention of it." Lies have been contended with great force in other places. Consider, Acts 5:4, the account of Ananias and Sapphira. They lied and when they were confronted with it, that very moment, they died. Look at the company that God associates liars with: the fearful, and unbelieving, the abominable, murderers, whoremongers, sorcerers and idolaters. It is a heavy thing that the Lord has said! I can picture His associations, that very act of lying is what turned His first creation away from Him. Taking that perfect companionship away. Note: 1 Sam 21 "he pretended he was upon a secret expedition, by the order of Saul, which none were to know of, no, not his own servants, and that was the reason why he came to him alone; which was a downright lie, and was aggravated by its being told only for the sake of getting a little food; and especially told to an high priest, and at the tabernacle of God, and when he was come to inquire of the Lord there; and was attended with a dreadful consequence, the slaughter of the Lord's priests there, which afterwards lay heavy on David's mind, 1Sa 22:22; and is the very sin he is thought to refer to in Psa 119:28. This shows the weakness of the best of men, when left to themselves; David who as much hated lying as any man did, fell into it himself: " (J. Gill) Peace to you! |

Hi, Ray: How are you comparing these two scriptures? What are you getting out of them that shows their connection? John 9:29 is the Pharisees talking with the ex-blind man. Luke 13:27 is Jesus talking about those that claim to know Him. Although both instances have to do with hypocrites. |

16 | Balanced, centered, or lukewarm? | Eccl 7:18 | compudex | 101151 | ||
Aixen7z4: Because of your question - is there a feeling of condemnation that has crept into your thoughts? Are you feeling that you have not or are not doing all that you can? If so, this thought is not unique to Christians. Often we find that sometimes an idea comes into our heads that we are not right in God's eyes. A seed of doubt. An attempt to steal joy. In the Gospels Satan tried this very thing with Jesus. Sowing doubt in our minds. Hot, cold, lukewarm. Ecclesiastes has a recurring word in it, vanity. This tool is used with precision in the hands of Satan. Getting us involved into looking inside ourselves too much. A mother holds her child and you can see the love she has for it in her eyes. Does a mother love her child less when she is washing dishes and you don't see the love? No, the spirit of her love is still the same. It is just not being displayed. Did Paul love the Lord less when he was making tents? (Acts 18:3*) No, it was not displayed, in that he was not out preaching and teaching. Yet, it was displayed because he was supporting himself. And actually, the mother's love was displayed by washing the dishes and keeping up the house as an act of loving her child. Therefore, what we do throughout the day can show our love to the Father just by doing daily responsibilities. God is not going to come into your kitchen and wash the dishes for you. Paul worked and supported himself, did his daily chores just like us, and tended to his calling, teaching and preaching. He was called to a full time ministry but he did his daily responsibilities as well. Do not separate Romans chapter 7 and Romans chapter 8. The words "there is therefore" in Rom. 8:1 means "what I am going to say next has to do with what I just said". My supportive Scriptures, cause I am still man: Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. Rom 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. Rom 7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Rom 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. Rom 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Rom 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. Rom 7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. Rom 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: Rom 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. * Act 18:3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. God works in us everyday toward getting us to the mark. Every day can be an adventure. Nothing can remove you from the Hands that love you. Mark 14:38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. Grace to you! |

17 | "You have ravished my heart..." | Song 4:9 | compudex | 111239 | ||
Greetings dmont, A song, a poem to the beauty that has captivated him. Remember your first love, when you thought about your love, how you felt as though your body could not contain you? Your very being was about to jump right out of your body? Your thoughts where of nothing else? You where stripped of all else, your heart was ravished. Stripped of all conscience, wisdom, understanding and logic. All that mattered was that you were with them. To his wife he says, "My love, you look ravishing!" Be it not for his marriage he would commit sin because of the lust in his heart toward his wife. But now the marriage bed is undefiled. And my lust is no longer lust, but burning desire to be with my wife for she has taken my heart and I willingly gave it. She has captivated me and I am her prisoner. Twice spoken, thou hast ravished my heart, thou hast ravished my heart(Song 4:9). And with an exotic tone, I will say it, "Thou hast ravished my heart." So as the church is to Christ, His creation has ravished His heart and what better betrothal gift could He give His new bride but Himself. No supportive scriptures, just experience. compudex |

18 | women take men? | Is 4:1 | compudex | 111068 | ||
Greetings cryst9m, I believe you are referring to: Isa 3:25 Your men will fall by the sword And your mighty ones in battle. Isa 3:26 And her gates will lament and mourn, And deserted she will sit on the ground. Isa 4:1 For seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, "We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach!" The division of the chapters has interrupted the prophet’s discourse, and broken it off almost in mid sentence. “The numbers slain in battle shall be so great, that seven women shall be left to one man.” The prophet has described the greatness of this distress. The young women, contrary to their natural modesty, shall become suitors to the men: they will take hold of them, and press the men to marry them. In spite of the natural suggestions of jealousy, they will be content with a share only of the rights of marriage in common with several others; and that on hard conditions, renouncing the legal demands of the wife on the husband (*) and begging only the name and credit of wedlock, and to be freed from the reproach of celibacy. (*) Exo 21:10 "If he takes to himself another woman, he may not reduce her food, her clothing, or her conjugal rights. compudex |

19 | Is there a ligjt in the darkness? | Lam 3:2 | compudex | 101988 | ||
Hello again dear Aixen7z4, Excellent! Is it personal perception? Why can't I get through to God? Where has He gone? Alas, I am in darkness! Is it because we are without understanding at that particular time in ones life? As the Hebrews in bondage in Egypt. What darkness they must have felt for 400 years. Sometimes we are in darkness for 400 seconds and we feel neglected of God. Trust, Patience. Trust - "Behold the salvation of the Lord" then the waters parted. Patience - "in due season"; "not as I will but as Thou will" (Rom 11:33) O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! Definition: Perfection - not the quality of being perfect. But, the quality of being made perfect. An ongoing process, not a completed work. Perfection, yes. Because it is by perfection we come closer to Him and know Him more and to become how He wants us to be. Paul states of "for the perfecting the saints".(Eph 4:11) Perfecting us unto Glory. Growth - as in the natural from baby to man, so it is in the Spiritual, from milk to meat. You say: I have a sign over my desk saying, “Trust God in the darkness”. I wonder if that’s what he wants. Yes, because the sign already says that you trust Him in the light. Peace to you! You have much wisdom Aixen7z4. |

20 | Is there a ligjt in the darkness? | Lam 3:2 | compudex | 102029 | ||
Footnote: your questions have ensnared my thoughts. Pondering on darkness. And into darkness. Perchance a preview, a taste, a minute glimpse, of weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. For what will it be like for those that do not come to the supper. What darkness will they suffer when God withdraws His absolute presence from them. It is a hard thing to consider because God is so much in this world now. What will it be like when His complete and total presence will be taken from them. Complete and utter darkness. With no hope. Never, ever! Why would I want to ponder on darkness? It shows me how much light there is. (Joh 1:5) And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. Such was the state of man. Yet, while we were in such a state, through the darkness came the cross. Sometimes we need the darkness to see the light. Considering more on perfection: Like a man and his wife: they live together and become closer with each other until the man will start to speak and the wife will finish his sentence with the exact same words that he was going to use. They become to know each other, they become one. "And they shall become one flesh". Does this happen when they first meet? No. In time, being with each other, learning about each other, discerning each other, they are being perfected into one. Caring for one another, not seeing their own needs but rather the other's. "Men love your wives as Christ has loved the church." And with this kind of oneness when one of them dies, the other usually soon follows. Consider the dove, when one of them dies, the other pines itself to death. For they have mated for life. "I speak the words of my Father", says He. Jesus and the Father are so one that as the Father's words form Jesus speaks them. For He is The Word of God. "Father, why hast thou forsaken me.", what torment for one being so close. Did He taste that darkness? Peace to you! |
