1 | What is a perpetual covenant | Bible general Archive 1 | fatherchuck | 43560 | ||
It is a perpetual covenant between THE SON'S OF ISRAEL ( THE JEWS) and God, not the gentiles. | ||||||
2 | Why did God create time? | Bible general Archive 1 | fatherchuck | 35428 | ||
Could it be that God created time so that everything wouldn't happen all at once? Time is like a filing system that allows a finite creature with limited capabilities to deal with what happens in an orderly manner. It allows order to be established in the creation. |

3 | There is no impossible with GOD? | Ps 34:8 | fatherchuck | 17058 | ||
He requires no rules to govern His conduct. He is by nature good and therefore rules are not relevant to Him except as a means by which He may reveal Himself to man. Being God He can do anything that He chooses to do, but His choices are the expressions of His nature which is essentially good. Chuck |

4 | God and Law | Ps 34:8 | fatherchuck | 17057 | ||
Yes, the ten commandments are an expression of Who He is, but He is much more than that. They are internalized in Him ,but again they are not the fullest expression of His Nature. That would be Jesus. The law is good being an expression of God's moral nature, but it exposes the fallen nature of man by the contrast between the two. The law was also given to teach man what was good and to give man a standard by which to judge good and evil. Blessings on you |

5 | No Rules, Just Right! | Ps 34:8 | fatherchuck | 16952 | ||
God is good because He is God. Look it up in the dictionary under good and you will find Him there.He is good because that is His Nature, He cannot be otherwise. He can no more do wrong than you could stop your heart and hold your breath till you died. He is the standard for good by which all other goodness is to be judged. Gold is gold because it posesses the properties of gold, not because it obeys the rules for gold. And it obeys the rules for gold because it already has the properties of gold. So also is God good. As for man's goodness being determined by the law... not hardly. The law establishes man's sinfulness, shows man how far he is already from the goodness of which God is the standard. Man without the law is not good, but simply without accountability. The law does not create sin, it reveals the sin that is already in man. Now for God, no, there are no rules for Him. He doesn't need them! Fatherchuck |

6 | in the spirit | Bible general Archive 1 | fatherchuck | 13843 | ||
God is NOT ALL. He is separate from His creation which in no way lessens Who He is. He is above good and evil, He is Life and in Him is the true life man was meant to experience. If I understand you, are you asking we are to test His strength? I think that the purpose of our creation was to be the objects of His Love. Grace to you. |

7 | where is paradise? | Bible general Archive 1 | fatherchuck | 13842 | ||
Psalm 16 will tell you where paradise is and why it is paradise. Ver. 11 Thou wilt make known to me the path of life; In Thy Presence is fulness of joy; In Thy right hand are pleasures forever. Paradise is being in the presence of God. An experience He makes possible through the sacrifice of His Son. For when the issue of sin has been dealt with He then makes His home in the heart of the believer. He indwells one who has not yet physically died. In His Presence is fulness of joy! |

Matthew 25:14-30 the parable, Matthew 25:31-46 the interpretation you are looking for. |

9 | "seal of God" | Ex 1:1 | fatherchuck | 12734 | ||
If you believe keeping the seventh day sabbath is the seal of God, do you then also believe that keeping sunday sabbath is the mark of the beastas stated in Rev 13:16-18 and Rev 14:9-12? | ||||||
10 | Who was the Proverbs 31 wife? | Prov 31:10 | fatherchuck | 12318 | ||
My vote would go for Leah, Jacob's wife and Hannah Elkanah's wife. Both women were sorely tried by their adversaries and their responses were to turn to the Lord rather than turn on their adversary or their husbands. Look them up! |

11 | Righteous, Unrighteous and Children? | Gen 18:28 | fatherchuck | 12317 | ||
Innocence? In 1 Kings 14: 1-13 the story is told of Abijah the son of Jeroboam becoming sick and dying. The reason given by the Lord was because something GOOD was found in him toward the Lord. It would seem that the Lord took him to spare him the corrupting influences that would surround him as he grew up in Jeroboam's house. Death is not the worst that can happen to one if one dies in innocence and perhaps that is why God may have spared the children of such corrupt societies as the pre-flood earth, Sodom and Gomorrah, Caanan, etc. through death. |

12 | Can a woman with no womb bear a child? | Bible general Archive 1 | fatherchuck | 12091 | ||
May I suggest that you encourage her to seek counsel with her pastor. I would doubt the validity of a vision that produced an obsession and torment. Further if the fruit of this obsession is causing distance in her relationship with her husband it would also cause one to suspect it's source. Prov 10:22 " It is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich, He adds NO SORROW to it." If this vision were of God it would seem that it should produce peace within herself and unity with her husband and that doesn't appear to be the situation. |

13 | Why not mention the other attributes? | Job 1:9 | fatherchuck | 11927 | ||
Because the whole thrust of Satan's argument was that these attributes of Job weren't genuine. Job only displayed these qualities to gain benefit from God and when the benefits ceased so would the qualities of righteousness. But he was wrong, as usual. | ||||||
14 | What do you do with stangers you meet? | Heb 13:2 | fatherchuck | 11735 | ||
I don't have much experience entertaining angels, that I know of, but I do have some experience entertaining the Lord, Himself. If I may... One of the first times was when I was getting off work, about 2 a.m. I saw Him standing on a street corner so I invited Him out to tea and donuts. During the discussion I discovered He had no where to sleep for the night so He spent the night at our house and we gave him breakfast before sending Him on His way. I admit that He didn't clean up much after Himself, but it was kind of exciting to think that I was washing the Lord's dishes. Another time my wife and I were able to bring Him some groceries during a time when He had just made a career change and His budget was rather tight.The look on His face when He saw the food we had for Him, especially the strawberries, was priceless. Also... I was able to teach Him to drive. Now some may think that this would be a piece of cake, him being the Lord and all. But He had just come from the Ukraine and didn't speak much English, read even less, and when the policeman pulled Him over for changing lanes without signaling He just about lost it! His experience with police in the Ukraine wasn't a pleasant one. Another aspect about entertaining the Lord as opposed to entertaining angels is that when entertaining angels you are dependent upon their schedules as to when they may show up. But the opportunities for entertaining the Lord are almost everyday and almost endless. I know... but I'm not being facetious, I'm as serious as life. I know you have read it, but look at it again, Matt.25:31-40. And should the opportunity arise for you to entertain the Lord, let me give you a hint so you will recognize Him when you see Him. He doesn't look at all like those pictures we have of Him hanging in our churches. He might not look like what you expect Him to, but don't be fooled! It REALLY is Him. |

15 | What was Eli's son's sin against God? | 1 Sam 2:25 | fatherchuck | 11624 | ||
Ver 17..."for the men abhorred the offering of the Lord." Ver 24... "ye make the Lord's people to transgress." Eli's sons served as priests also and were therefore representatives of God to the people. Responsible to teach the people who God was and what His laws were. By their behavior they were expressing contempt for God's offerings, contempt for God. Sleeping with the women who served, was turning God's tabernacle into a house of prostitution. All of this before the nation of Israel to whom they were to be examples of righteousness, to represent God before Israel. In short they were taking God's name in vain in a very blatant manner, a sin that God promises will not go unpunished. Ex 20:7 |

16 | Should Children Die For Parent's Sin? | Deut 24:16 | fatherchuck | 11036 | ||
Sin is not self contained. While each is held accountable for their own sin, the consequences of ones sins are not limited to the one who commits the sin. Adam and Eve sinned, all died. David sinned, the consequences of that sin tragicaly affected many beyond himself. The primary responsibility rests with the one who sins, but the consequences often cause loss to others. Ex 20:5 and Deu 5:9 in context is a contrast demonstrating God's nature. ...Visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the THIRD and FOURTH generations of those who hate Me, BUT showing lovingkindness( a covenant term) to THOUSANDS, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. It's purpose to demonstrate Who God is. That He limits the consequences of the fathers sins to the third and fourth generation, but shows lovingkindness( a covenant term)to THOUSANDS who love Him. It also shows what the consequences are of one's choice, whether to love the Lord or hate Him. |

17 | Why Doesn't God Desire Sacrifices? | Ps 51:16 | fatherchuck | 11018 | ||
Good news/bad news( depending on where you are with Him) Steve. The good news is that God does still require sacrifices and gives extensive instructions on what, how, when, and where they are to be presented. Bad(?) news.. Rom.12:1, you're it! The instructions start with the Gospels and continue on through the epistles. Our daily lives are to be the sacrifice. Jesus said that unless we carry our cross( an instrument of sacrifce) daily, we cannot be His disciples. Perhaps it was this personal sacrifice that caused many of the jews to stumble, for it is much easier to give material possessions than to give ones life.As the enemy said to God about Job," all that a man has he will give for his life" It is this life that God requires as our sacrifice. |

18 | Why Babylon to punish righteous Israel? | Habakkuk | fatherchuck | 10907 | ||
Who do you suggest that He use? The angels? That Israel was more righteous than the Babylonians is not borne out in scripture. Indeed they were more guilty before God than Babylon, because they had His laws, the prophets, the priests, everything needed to put them in a right relationship with Him. All of which they ignored. All of which they used to rationalize their disobedience. After all God would surely not destroy His own temple, he surely would not allow the heathen to capture the Ark of the Covenant. That He would use nations that were ungodly was a further rebuke to the Israelites who considered themselves above the other nations and holding such an exalted position in God's eyes that God wouldn't bring them to account for their sins. They didn't really believe that He is no respecter of persons, or nations. | ||||||
19 | interacial dating | Bible general Archive 1 | fatherchuck | 10662 | ||
Hello, Interacial dating presupposes more than one race. We have common parents, Adam and Eve. All their descendants are of the same race, human. Races as they are presented today are a human contrivance to diferentiate between types of people, perhaps to justify mistreating those different from themselves. |
