1 | bible verse about a woman being precious | Prov 31:10 | ariel levin | 225870 | ||
How about another thing? The Hebrew word that was translated "rib" (something not needed, quite disposable) Tsalah can also mean "side" (something extremely needed, absolutely not disposable). I would think that coming from the "side" of man would make her precious indeed. What do you say, Azure? Are we ribs or sides? |

2 | why are the twelve tribes of isreal diff | Bible general Archive 4 | ariel levin | 225846 | ||
Makarios, Wouldn't another reason for the differences be that after Mt Sinai, the Levites were no longer counted among Israel as a "tribe" because they had been placed apart as to God? Therefore, aside from the prophecy of double portion going to Joseph, i.e. Manasseh and Ephraim, these two were counted as 2 tribes then brought back together as one single tribe to make room for the tribe of Joseph (or is Ephraim counted among Joseph's tribe? Never thought of this before?), and also the Levites were restored and counted among Israel. |

Beja, Many have been the times that a few trivia questions have been the embers that sparked a true interest in the subject. And sometimes a few trivia questions will be just the medicine after an in-depth study. I would hope we are not too stuffy to find pleasure and joy in finding the answers to what may be mundane to us. Let God's shalom rule in your heart. |

4 | Why different directions required | Bible general Archive 4 | ariel levin | 225797 | ||
Azure, I did some googling and did come up with this little nugget: The Temple: Its Ministry and Services Alfred Edersheim Chapter 5 Sacrifices: Their Order and Their Meaning The Acts of Sacrifice The Rabbis mention the following five acts as belonging to the offerer of a sacrifice: the laying on of hands, slaying, skinning, cutting up, and washing the inwards. These other five were strictly priestly functions: catching up the blood, sprinkling it, lighting the altar fire, laying on the wood, bringing up the pieces, and all else done at the altar itself. The whole service must have been exceedingly solemn. Having first been duly purified, a man brought his sacrifice himself 'before the Lord'—, to 'the door of the Tabernacle' (Lev 1:3; 4:4), where the altar of burnt-offering was (Exo 40:6), and in the Temple into the Great Court. If the sacrifice was most holy, he entered by the northern; if less holy, by the southern gate. Next he placed it so as to face the west, or the Most Holy Place, in order thus literally to bring it before the Lord. To this the apostle refers when, in Romans 12:1, he beseecheth us to present our 'bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God.' It's not much, but it's a start? |

5 | Why different directions required | Bible general Archive 4 | ariel levin | 225791 | ||
Azure, I figured it was Lev. but wanted to make sure. I have a Jewish study bible based primarily on the commentary of Rashi (along with some others)and I checked it. Unfortunately, there are no study notes on those particular verses as to the reasoning behind the directions. Knowing how the rabbis studied the Torah, I'm sure that question has been asked and covered somewhere in their writings, I'm just not sure where... Perhaps someone else can help find a answer for you. :o) Sorry, I couldn't help. |

Beja, It seems that Ed cleared up the confusion himself. I'm sorry, but I was able to take his references and understand what he was trying to say. :o) |

7 | psalms... judgement chapter 1 verse 5 | Rev 20:15 | ariel levin | 225696 | ||
Beja, I've been following your discussion with Ed and I think you're missing the fact that what Ed is saying is not that there's not a future judgment, but that there is no need of one. I think he agrees that scripture clearly states that there is a Throne judgment of all the unsaved, he's just simply stating what scripture also says, when the unrepentant dies in his/her sins, judgment at that moment is passed, the day of salvation for that person has come and gone. Because he is right in that there really is no need of a judgment and because you are right in that there is indeed a future judgment it gives me hope to think that because the latter judgment is on the "deeds" of the unrepentant, that perhaps there are levels of punishment, that the "good person" who just happened to not be a saved person is not judged or punished equally with the truly evil unrepentant. (As there are different rewards and crowns to be handed out to His own according to their works or deeds, hopefully there will be lesser and greater degrees of punishment for the unsaved also according to their works and or deeds. There are some mighty fine unsaved people who have lived in this world and done wonderful things for humankind.) |

BradK, please check my response prior to this one. I was questioning the wording of the creed that had been shared. The words chosen have meanings that are different from what is normally taught. | ||||||
9 | psalms... judgement chapter 1 verse 5 | Rev 20:15 | ariel levin | 225676 | ||
My question marks were just that. I was questioning the point that was stated. Destroy - to tear down; demolish; to break up or spoil completely; ruin; to bring to total defeat; crush; to put an end to; do away with; to kill ... (www.yourdictionary.com) - so Destruction is to have (been) destroyed, to have (been) torn down, to have (been) demolished, etc. Everlasting - Lasting or enduring forever; exsisting or continuingwithout end (www.dictionary.net) So that which was stated in the creed, reads like it's a destruction in totality at one time of something that has nothing left to be revived or rebuilt, not something going on forever but something no longer there. That's what I was questioning. |

10 | psalms... judgement chapter 1 verse 5 | Rev 20:15 | ariel levin | 225668 | ||
"...and punished with everlasting destruction, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power (Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:48; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10)...." So it's not an eternal punishment of torment, for 'destruction' means there's an ending, not a particularly good ending but an ending...?? |

This will be my last entry in this thread. sa 103:1 A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Psa 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Psa 103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Psa 103:4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Psa 103:5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. Psa 103:6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. Psa 103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. Psa 103:8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. Psa 103:9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. Psa 103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. Psa 103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. Psa 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Psa 103:13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. |

I sse your point Ed, and you're right He did say that. I tend to think though it's more a matter of withdrawing the supernatural protection from what's already in the world than Him actually singling out people to make sick. If we take that stance, that God puts cancer, etc. on people who do not keep His commandments then we should be seeing just kazillions dropping dead daily. And if you want to keep it isolated to only the Jews, then why are they not dying out? (It's lnot like He doesn't have any help here. Whole countries would love to see them gone!) The reports are that there are more secular Jews in Israel than observant Jews. And probably more secular Jews in the States than observant Jews. Why are the secular still around? Unless it's just the "protection" that has been withdrawn and they are now subject to the world's woes? |

Morning Legs, You said, "...my personal blessing has to do with the Lord GIVING me cancer..." Please learn to rephrase this, perhaps, the Lord allowed you to get cancer...God is not in the habit of killing His kids. There are only 3 instances that I can think of right off the top of my head where God actually "gave" or "put" a disease on anyone: When Moses was trying to not go before the Pharaoh (the whole hand that turned leprous), when Miriam spoke against Moses (she was told why she got leprous and was quickly healed), and the insanity of Nebuchadnezzar (and he was told and also healed). A fourth possible time (but I'm not sure) might be the sickness of Hezekiah. But I am sure that our God is not in the business of putting dreadful diseases on His own. We live in a world corrupted by sin and though we may not be of this world we are still subject to the corruption that is in it, we get sick. When we do get sick God can use that to His glory, but I will never be convinced that He was the author of that sickness on someone....Sorry. |

No, this is not still going on. It was several years ago in another state. They were getting toward the end of their mission. I really can't remember what started the whole thing - they lived in the apartment above me. Perhaps I just met them at a time when they were ready to be persuaded? (I know I certainly could not have lived as they did - they stood at their window for over an hour waiting on a phone call to get permission just to come out on the front lawn to have a cook-out and watch fireworks! Talk about contol.) |

These that I have had goings on with have a book that does have prophecy. I'm sorry, I don't know what it's called, I'd always just thought it was the one called Book of Mormon, but I guess it must be something else (it wasn't nearly as many pages as the Christian Bible, it looked to have maybe 300-400 pages). Maybe these were a "sect" of mormonism, not of the main-stream? The parts that got them to thinking was the fact that some prophet (or maybe an angel) called maroni could not be traced outside of this book. At least that's what they told me. I really know very little about mormon belief, but I know the Scriptures well. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. |

Yes, I know. That's why I told her to have the friend use the book the Christians don't use. And if he takes her up on the debate, he cannot win; and if he's really wanting the truth, this will be the beginning of his journey. I've gotten 2 mormons now questioning mormonism this way. Two is not alot, but it's a start..... |

If a symbolic association is desired, I believe that the Hebrew word translated coffin at the end of Genesis is the same word used for Noah's ark. Now that holds some symbolism. | ||||||

Lionheart, I don't know off the top of my head the reference (in Lev. I think), but it's usually noted as a divisor in the division captions of the Bible - check the ritual concerning the Law of Purification, it requires blood and running water....... |
