1 | Did Moses studder or have a speach prob | Ex 6:12 | Barach | 182387 | ||
You're right Kalos, the verse doesn't say "exactly" that he was a studderer. The Bible indicates he had a speech problem. What's your point? |

2 | Did Moses studder or have a speach prob | Ex 6:12 | Barach | 182399 | ||
Hi John, I think we agree that he had a speech problem - the Bible does say that, just like I know I use d's sometimes in my spelling instead of t's - did you notice the spelling of "studderer" (it's a very old learning problem that surfaces from time-to-time). I defaulted to stutterer because the question itself alluded to this specific speech problem and I recalled that some commentaries suggest that this was the problem. (btw: I'm sincerely curious about what other speech problems it could be now that you brought it up). Stuttering is an interesting problem - under stress or fear, it gets worse. I knew someone personally who had this problem and when under stress or in a fearful situation (public speaking), he literally couldn't get some words out. I used to feel so bad for him. Tieing this back to Moses (a humble man to begin with), God was telling him to go speak to the powerful Pharoah. As you know, Pharoahs were viewed as gods on earth with the power to decide life or death if they didn't like what they heard. If Moses speech impediment was stuttering, he may have felt, 'I would never be able to articulate God's message due to my problem'. So, let me know what other speech problems you think it could be, now that we agree that the Bible is silent on this. (Of course, some may argue what's the difference anyway and they would be right, wouldn't they?) With Christian Love, Barach |

4 | Seasons changing, end of time? | Acts 1:7 | Barach | 182402 | ||
I have a couple of other scriptures, however before I provide them I would kindly suggest that coming up with an idea and then trying to see if the Bible confirms it doesn't sound like a good approach to understanding the Bible. If you think the idea came from a verse but can't find it, buy a concordance or use an on-line search engine to try and find the verse in question... hope this helps. Good day! | ||||||
5 | Conversion THEN baptism...verses?? | Acts 2:38 | Barach | 151674 | ||
You're welcome, unfortunately - and as you know - it's sometimes impossible to find "specific" scriptures that spell out every conceivable false Christian practice that developed after the Bible record was completed. Example: You won't find "Water baptism is not for infants". However, this is not an obstacle in understanding what the scripture says on the subject. For instance, most people don't need a scripture to tell them that dumping trash in their neighbor's lawn is wrong, the scriptural command to love thy neighbor (Matt. 22:34-40) covers that point quite well with minimal reasoning. Even the Apostle Paul used scripture to "reason" with his hearers as to their meaning: Act 17:2 And according to Paul's custom, he went to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, Act 17:3 explaining and giving evidence that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and [saying,] "This Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is the Christ." So, when the Bible says in Acts 2:38 (Amplified) "And Peter answered them, Repent (change your views and purpose to accept the will of God in your inner selves instead of rejecting it) and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of and release from your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.", the reasoning (as you know) is how could an infant "repent". As the Amplied Bible parenthetically states about repentance, how could an infant 'change their view' and 'accept the will of God'? Of course, you could always turn the table and genuinely ask your friend, 'I'm curious what scripture is used to support infant baptism?" (BTW: If your friend responds to this, please post their scriptural support for infant baptism in your reply.) Hope this helps... |

6 | don't just listen to gods word but do | James 1:22 | Barach | 182389 | ||
Of course, the thing to keep in mind is that the Bible is highly interpretive... you need to decide for yourself what interpretation is correct. Pray to God through Jesus' name. | ||||||
