yearegods God is a holy God everything He does, everything He feels is holy. Now, we on the other hand have jealsousy as a bad thing, generally, and rarely is it righteous, like maybe if your spouse commits adultery, then it might be being in the right to feel that way, but generally when we feel it, it is a wrong reaction. God doesn't have any rivals to be jealsous of or something, He is not jealous of someone, but about someone, us... He is jealous about us being His and when we turn to something or someone else, that is sinning against Him in a big way. Exodus 20:5 You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me. peacebestill |

marilyn I think you might find more answers as well by looking at all of Romans 5 and 6 as the direct result of justification is sanctification as described in those two chapters. Romans 5:1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. peacebestill |

dmention I do not agree with everything this link said, but you might find it useful... http://www.truthortradition.com/modules.php?file equal sign article and sign name equal sign News and sign sid eqaul sign 613 Here is a sermon on the last week. http://mynameisbrandon.wordpress.com/2007/04/03/seeing-jesus-again-for-the-first-time-sermon-the-last-week/ I think a good way to view the last week is to see how the OT prophecies of the Savior Messiah King are being fulfilled, and to see how Jesus acts as king and how His murderers fit into the picture of who gets into the kingdom, and how Jesus as Messiah and king returns triumphant over death to lead those in His kingdom to do His will and what His will is. I agree, there seem to be a whole lot of very homework questions flying around lately. Might I suggest using the search feature up to the right and top of the page? And might I suggest doing estensive Goggle searches to see what is availalbe out there? It is understandable that one could be very stumped in doing homework, but the same ground work others have done to answer the questions of those in school need to be done by those going to school. That being said, if this was not a homework question I do apologize... Which is why I did give you a real answer, just in case... :-) peacebestill |

4 | What does it mean, Seed of Abraham? | Gen 21:12 | peacebestill | 209232 | ||
totally Verse please? Without a verse in this particular instance it would be hard to answer you... This is because there are verses that speak of a seed, singular, and those that speak of seeds, plural all in reference to thing pretaining to Abraham. peacebestill |

5 | what is the Foundation Gate's significan | 2 Chr 23:5 | peacebestill | 208694 | ||
smalltinygirl I only found one clue, which is not much of a clue. In 2 Kings we have a reference to the same thing in 11:6 it calls this gate the Gate of Sur which the word Sur just means temple gate. So where in Chronicles it is capitalized, not capitalized in kings it is some specific temple gate or other, which is why they capitalized it in Chronicles, it is a specifc temple gate only no one knows what the significance of it was. The only other problem is that it is not clear whether the gate of Sur was the Foundation Gate or whether the Foundation Gate was a gate where the young Joash was made king. Confuse you now? Me too.:-) peacebestill |

6 | why did Amaziah hire Israelites to help | 2 Chr 25:7 | peacebestill | 208693 | ||
smalltinygirl It is really hard to tell from just reading the scriptures surrounding this verse you have there, but I will try. Judah was seen this time as being more faithful to God than Israel in the North. But we do know something for sure, Amaziah took a census before being ready to go to war. That means he made some sort of assessment about how many men he needed to fight the Edomites, the men of Seir. Amaziah had 300,000 men of war and decided that that was not enough. Now, we have no idea how many Edomites, the men of Seir there were, but Amaziah was concerned that 300,000 would not be enough to do the job. So since he had no more men of war he could get from Judah, he hired some out of Israel, 100,000 to feel satisified that he had enough men to go to war. What is unclear from this account or from the other one about the same thing in 2 Kings 14 is if the talents were paid to the men who were warriors or to the king of Israel, Jehoahaz. You have to ask the question at this point; since the scripture does not say these men defected Israel and got paid can we assume they did? Well perhaps if they had the scriptures would have said that they did defect, but it does not so it is safer to assume they did not and that the talents were paid to King Jehoahaz. About the kingdom split; where does it say any people from Israel defected to Judah? It says that Rehobaom fled to Jerusalem and gathered the house of Judah and Benjamin to himself; but according to 2 Chronicles 10:15 the turn of events was according to the will of the Lord that is was done so. And again in 11:4 the Lord says this thing is from Him. So we shouldn't really look at Judah as defecting, especailly since in all its history Judah was still with the Lord in more times than Israel. In fact in 25:7 the man of God tells Amaziah that God is not pleased for the army of Israel to go with him, but that is probably because Israel was not at that time with the Lord. So according to the text the answer to your question is not crystal clear, but it is most likely they were hired by Amaziah from their king. peacebestill |

7 | Responsibility in the original text | Ezra 10:4 | peacebestill | 208597 | ||
Bows44 This is from the KJV and the NASB. Ezra 10:4 Hebrew number 5921 al, the charge - number of hits for the number in the Esword; 6,555 - but the meaning and usage varies a great deal. I Chronicles 9:31 Hebrew number 530 n'tsach, of fidelity - number of hits for the number in the Esword; 49, the meaning is about the same. Numbers 4:16 Hebrew number 6486 p'quddah the charge of - number of hits for the number in the Esword; 32, but the meaning varies. 1 Timothy 5:22 the word responsiblity is no where in the original Greek text in this verse, it was added to make the English more grammatically correct as a noun connecting to the word sin. The word responsibility appears no where else in the New Testament in English. This is from the ESV. Exodus 38:21 Hebrew number 5656 abdowah service - number of hits in the Esword; 146, but the meaning varies. The Septuagint, the Greek version of the New Testament in PDF form, has three hits for the word responsibility, but it is very arduous to look through the whole Septuagint to see where the numbers are highlighted because the search feature does not reflect the Greek numbers only highlighted text does. Here is a link for that - http://www.biblicalgreek.org/links/lxx.php Try using the search feature in the PDF document after you download the free Septuagint and you will see what I mean it is a bit to look through to see after the first highlight what the numbers of the three hits are. The three English instances where the word responsibility appears in the Septuagint are; takes responsibility watch responsibility their responsibility peacebestill |

11 | Reflections on Is 61:3 | Is 61:3 | peacebestill | 208771 | ||
Yeshim There is an artist my sister likes called Crystal Lewis a gospel singer. She has a song based on this one verse and the first two verses called Beauty for Ashes on an album of the same name. Quote, Crystal Lewis, Beauty for Ashes; He gives beauty for ashes, strength for fear, gladness for mourning, peace for despair. When sorrow seams to surround you, when suffering hangs heavy on your head, know that tomorrow bring wholeness and healing, God knows your need, just believe what He said. The beauty of ashes is that out of them arises the will of God. The oil of gladness comes after mourning. In the middle of fainting if you praise the Lord He will lift you up and you will be called righteous that He may be glorified. peacebestilll |

John Gmuer Here is some more from John MacArthur on the subject. John MacAruthur, The MacArthur Bible Study Commentary, page 968 to 969, par. 3. The daily sacrifice. This reference is to the end of the daily temple sacrifice, previously allowed under a covenant which the Antichrist formed with Israel, which he later caused to cease in the middle of the final seven years (9:27). Then favorable relations give way to persecution. Even his abomination that desecrates the temple (as 9:27; Mat. 24:1; Mark 13:14; 2 Thess. 12:3, 4) is accompanied with persecution. one thousand two hundred and ninety days. From the instrusion of the abomination, there follow 1,290 days, including 1,260 which make up the last three and one-half years of the final seven years (see note on v.7), then thirty days more, possibly to allow for the judgment of the living subsequent to Christ's return (cf. Matt. 24:29-31), before millenial kingdom blessings begin. I personally am wondering where this covenant with Isreal comes from that he is speaking about? I present this, not as what I think, but as a possibility... peacebestill |

13 | "Mystery of God" Rev 10 | Amos 3:6 | peacebestill | 208390 | ||
John Gmuer As this man has studied for far longer than I could ever hope to see if you like this; John MacArthur, The MacArthur Study Bible, page 2012, par. 3 The Mystery. A Greek term meaning "to shut" or "to close". In the NT, a "mystery" is a truth that God concealed, but has revealed through Christ and His apostles (see notes on Eph. 3:4, 5; cf. Rom. 16;25). Here the mystery is the final consumation of all things as God destroys sinners and establishes He righteous kingdom o nearth. as He declared. This mystery, though not fully revealed, was declared to God's prophets (cf. Amos 3:7). I heard it taught once not to divorce the word mystery from the words is finished in the same verse. This makes it mean that the mystery is the finising of the things of God, as in the end times completion of His plans to end the world as it is and set up His eternal kingdom. In this sense the mystery means that in the seventh angel sounding it is signifying that the completion of God's plans is at hand, and as God's will is decided beforehand, the beginnnig of whatever He has decided will happened all ready contains its end. So the angel sounding the trumpet is signifying God's plan as finished, finito. peacebestill |

14 | What does mattew chap 11 verse12 mean? | Matt 11:12 | peacebestill | 209235 | ||
Agertc Quote from the MacArthur Study Bible, page 1144, paragraph1; The kingdom of heaven suffers violence. From the time he begins his preaching ministry, John the Baptist evokes a strong reaction. Having been imprisoned already, John ultimately falls victim to Herod's savagery. But the kingdom can never be subdued or opposed by human violence. Notice that where Mathew says, "the violent take if by force", Luke has "everyone is pressing into it" (Luke 16:16). So the sense of this verse may be rendered this way; "The kingdom presses ahead relentlessly, and only the relentless press their way into it". Thus again Christ is magnifying the difficulty of entering the kingdom. The word for suffers violence is one single word in Greek and actually does mean to press into, to crowd, and to force one's way into something. So then the kingdom of heaven is being pressed into by unbelievers who are trying to get in there by sheer force. And those who are in the way, like Jesus, like John the Baptist of those who are trying to barrel through the teachings of these two about how to get in, are being done real harm to physically speaking. Which is why the translators are saying that violence is being done, because it is, it was. The ones doing the violence were trying to prevent the true teachers from giving the message how to get in by means of persecution unto death and in the mean time were trying to have a legalistic monopoly on what the way was to get in. When you try to get into the kingdom of heaven by works and the law you are merely pushing at being convicted by the law, as if by doing that you could "earn the right to get in by force of works". peacebestill |

15 | What do you think regarding these develo | Luke 2:40 | peacebestill | 208588 | ||
jesusservant It means that as He grew up He grew up in all aspects, the wisdom of God, He grew taller in like any man grows, He gained the respect and honor with men and God. These are all aspects of Jesus being fully man. He was fully God too, but these things in this verse only describe that He was fully man. John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. peacebestill |

16 | Why Did god call jesus his begotten sun? | John 3:16 | peacebestill | 209230 | ||
Agertc The word begotten in Greek really means one of a kind. The Strong's says only begotten, only born, but the real sense of this is missing... Jesus is the only one brought forth by God as the incarnation of God. Jesus is fully man and fully God - the only one of His kind. John 3:16, 18 Acts 13:33 Philemon 1:!0 Hebrews 1:15, 5, 11, 11:17 1 John 4:9 In every single instance in the New Testament the word means the same exact thing. It is never referring to Jesus birth, but to His one of a kindness as brought forth by God. peacebestill |

17 | What is the meaqning of 'sealing?' | John 6:27 | peacebestill | 208317 | ||
Thomas I think the nature of seals is that God puts the Holy Spirit into the equation, like when Jesus received the Holy Spirit in the Jordan River, and then we see Jesus having been given the power to do His whole ministry. But I also think that when it comes to us the way the seal of the Holy Spirit works is very different because we aren't give the power as a human to save people as God. We are given the promise of salvation, and the power to witness; Ephesians 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation - having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise. Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the uttermost parts of the earth. In Revelation 9:4 it talks about not harming those who have the seal of God in their foreheads - so they must be the saved. But I think unlike the seal of salvation as the Holy Spirit, and unlike the Seal on the Son to give eternal life, here the seal is a visible mark put by God on the foreheads signifying that they are His, that they are saved by the same method and process we are with the seal of the Holy Spirit inside, but this is different, signifying by an outward visible seal mark that they are not of those who have the other visible mark of damnation. peacebestill |

18 | What do we need to know about God | John 17:3 | peacebestill | 208483 | ||
Odaat John 3:16-19 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 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. What we need to know about God to avoid the penalty is; First Jesus is God. Second whoever believes in Jesus will be granted eternal life. Third whoever does not believe in Jesus has been judged already. But there is more. Peter the apostle was preaching to the Jews about who Jesus was; that He was God and that God ordained for Him to be crucufied by the Jews, and that Jesus, unlike King David arose from the dead to be seated next to God in heaven. Then the Jews repented and asked what must we do to be saved? Acts 2:38Peter siad to them, Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgivness of your sins; and you will recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit. Four repent of your sins. Five be baptized into the body of Christ. There is more. Romans 10:9, 10 That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. Six make the fact that you believe Jesus is God a confession out loud that you do because confession results in salvation. This is not meant to be a list, a chronological list, of how to get saved, because the belief and confession of Jesus as God, Lord can be all at once, and because confession should come before baptism. peacebestill |

19 | What main scripture book of romans? | Romans | peacebestill | 209117 | ||
gapeach Your first question was asking about the theme, which as someone said to you is Romans 1:16, 17 that is the "main scripture" for Romans in a sense... But perhaps you are thinking of if there is a main portion of scriptures that kind of defines Romans? In most books of the Bible the book will be divided up into several major sections, so there is really no such thing as one major portion of scripture per say that would be the defining one in any Bible book. Although some books are so small, you could say that about those books, but Romans is not short and Romans is a theological treatise of sorts being set forth by Paul to the church at Rome in anticipation of him coming to them to preach the gospel. Here is the break down for you of Romans, but like people keep saying to you, you really, that is if you are, should not be trying to do homework in here. That may be an assumption on my part that you are, but if you are not I apologize, but if you are 2 Timothy 2:15 please. The greeting Romans 1:1-7 The introduction Romans 1:8-15 The theme of the whole book Romans 1:16, 17 The need for the Gospel Romans 1:18-3:20 The doctrine of Justification Romans 3:21-5:21 The related and co-doctrine to Justification of Sanctification Romans 6-8 The nation of Israel Romans 9-11 The application for the church and the individual believer Romans 12-16 Do you see how there cannot really be a "main" scripture for the book of Romans outside the theme? The entire book of Romans breaks down that one theme by treating it theologically as interrelated parts of one whole from the perspective of 1:16, 17. If I was really pressed hard to try to pick one portion of Romans as a portion that best describes Romans I would go with 3:21 through all of 5. But do you see how very large a portion that ends up being? A single verse outside of the theme just does not hit on it. Romans 8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Come to think of it that would not be bad either, but it leaves out a whole lot of stuff about why that is so. peacebestill |
