2 | Why did they act w/o Rome's permission? | Acts 7:58 | Amiga | 14793 | ||
Hi. I think that in dealings of the Jewish culture and religion, the Romans were glad to stay away from, unless it japardised their authority over the Jewish. Steven's murder was like icing on the cake to stimulate division among the new Christians........Also I think that Nicodemus was to scare of Jesus at this point to be part of any fullishness again His church....What do you think? | ||||||
3 | Where did Jacob get the game? | Gen 27:7 | Amiga | 14786 | ||
Hello. In verse 9 of the same chapter, Rebekah,Isaac's wife, is telling Jacob what to do, and that she will prepare the game just as Isaac likes it.Jacob went down to the flock (on his own back yard) to bring "two choice kids of the goats"..................When I read about Essau I see that he wasn't very sharp. He's priorities were off. I think that is why it was easy for Jacob to supplant him. Twice he did; birthrights and blessing(Gen 27:36) | ||||||
4 | Was the older brother acting correct? | Luke 15:28 | Amiga | 14094 | ||
Hello, Is my opinion, I say that the elder brother was wrong in how he reacted to his father's actions, but I also see that it was a normal reaction and at his level he was also "bind" to samething. As the elder brother, he probably would have never done what his younger brother did(V. 15:30)because he understood whow hard they have worked(father/older b.)to have what they had when the "ignorant" one dicided he wanted to go and waste his part. In verse 30 the older brother refers to his younger brother in anger as .."this SON of yours arrived"...and his father, in a loving way, when he rebukes him about his actittude said in V.32.."this BROTHER of yours was dead"....If I was to write a V.33 it would have said.."forgive me father, I must go and welcome MY BROTHER back"... To me, the story is about a awesome father and his love for his children. Even when we messup. Ch 15:1 and 2 show us how horribly judgmental we can be sometimes. I thank God we can repent when the Lord convict us. I thank God for His mercy. | ||||||
5 | HOW DID THE ISRAELITES | 2 Kings | Amiga | 14092 | ||
Hello,...In 2 Kings, the history of two kindoms is traiced until they were conquered; Israel fell to Assyria and Judah to the Chaldeans.In both kindoms God continually warned them about the dangers of God's judgement if they didnt repent.Mainely, this was done thru Elijah and Elisha. Repentance was their way out of judgment, but it didnt happen, thought they diffied God's commands | ||||||
6 | HOW DID GOD | 2 Kin 17:12 | Amiga | 14090 | ||
Hello..This quest. is a little unclear to the reader but I think I understand what's been asked.I feel that God's commands, as a whole, are designed to protect us.There are consecuences to every choice we make, wheather we are aware of them or not.The scriptures said...(Hosea 4:6.. "my people are distroy for lack of knowlege" Sometimes we forget to play satan in the ecuation of our choices, and I believed that to be what happen to the Israelites. At this point they were free from Egypt, and got confortable,and since they were not jet lead by the Spirit(NT Promese), they fell right in to idolatry. Today God tell us to be "vigilant", because our adversary, the devil, is watching....(paraphase). We all want to do right(saved and unsaved) but the problem is our reference point; our own opinoin about right or wrong. I thank God for his Word and His Spirit. |
