1 | How many daughters did Lot have? | Not Specified | inHzsvc | 5214 | ||
How many daughters did Lot have? I had never considered this question until recently when a close brother asked me. I had always just assumed, as do most folks, that he had two. However, in Genesis 19:8, Lot offers his two virgin daughters to the perverted homosexual men of the city. Then, in verse 14, it is said that Lot had two married daughters. And again, in verse 15, when he is summoned to leave, it speaks of his two daughters, "which are here." So, does anybody have any insight as to how many daughters Lot had? |

Actually, they had no way of preserving grape juice in those days. The wine got to be very strong. I am told that they added water to their wine in many cases just to make it drinkable. I believe Christ turned the water into fermented wine. There are many reasons for this, but, I'll simply give one that goes with the text. The people there said that He saved the best until last. Drunk people wouldn't have been too happy about grape juice. They wanted more wine. God bless. |

3 | Is there an age of accountability? | Bible general Archive 1 | inHzsvc | 2165 | ||
The Bible says nothing of any "age of accountability." There isn't even a hint of such an idea. Your point concerning Arminian chilren and Calvinistic chilren is confusing. Let me say this. We were all born Arminians--trying to save ourselves. By God's grace, He showed us (believers) that we were unable as He drew us to Christ. All are born sinners in need of a Savior. God bless. |

Amen. It should also be noted that he doesn't reprimand them for using wine--he merely tells them that they shouldn't be getting drunk. Only the unleavened fruit of the vine(fermented wine) can rightly represent the sinless blood of Christ as the unleavened bread represents the sinless body of Christ. Many people don't realize that grape juice naturally contains leaven. However, that leaven is burned up during the process of fermentation. By His Grace. inHzsvc |

5 | Where did Easter get its name? | NT general Archive 1 | inHzsvc | 1629 | ||
Yes, my friend, Easter is a pagan "holy" day. Paul told the Galatian saints that he feared them because they worshiped "days, and times, and seasons." He felt he had bestowed labor upon them in vain. The custom of the goddess Ishtar, or Eastara, can be traced all the way back to Babylonian mysticism. It came up through the false church (Roman Catholicism)and is, sadly, accepted today by many other institutions. | ||||||
6 | Spiritual beings procreate? | Gen 6:4 | inHzsvc | 1920 | ||
The term "sons of God" refers to beings actually created by God in the OT. The only other three places that term is used is in the Book of Job. Most conservative scholars agree that those references, at least, refer to angels. Why does this passage in Gen. 6 not refer to the daughters of God? Why is it so hard to conceive of the Nephilim being the product of fallen angels cohabitating with the daughters of men? Does not Jude tell us that there was a group of angels that "left their first estate" and they, like Sodom and Gomorrah, went after strange flesh in fornication? Does not II Peter tell us of some angels that sinned and are now reserved unto judgment? Was not everybody except Noah and his family destroyed in the flood? That seems to tell us that Noah and his family were the only righteous ones on the Earth at that time. Does the intermingling of the lost and the saved normally produce giants? I think not. Folks, it's not far-fetched. It's good Bible interpretation. By the way, Eve is said to be the mother of "all living" in the Book of Genesis. That should do away with the heresy that Adam and Eve weren't the only humans actually created by God without an Earthly father or mother. God bless. |

7 | Spiritual beings procreate? | Gen 6:4 | inHzsvc | 1942 | ||
Brent, still, you'll have to admit that those passages in Job leave little room for doubt that the "sons of God" are angels, at least in those passages. It seems viable that the same meaning would be taken from the same Hebrew word in Genesis. I believe fallen angels did cohabitate with the daughters of men, but, I do NOT believe of "sensationalistic tales about holding down women who are being violently raped by invisible demons while they and thier cronies are casting the demon out." In fact, I really don't know what that means. If you disagree with my previous assertion, please answer the questions and statements in it. Don't put words in my mouth. Thanks, and God bless you and yours. | ||||||

Amen.....let's try and keep the discussions civil. It's OK to disagree on things such as this. But, let's disagree agreeably. | ||||||

13 | How many daughters did Lot have? | Gen 19:14 | inHzsvc | 5298 | ||
Tim, I had considered this possibility. It is interesting, however, that many Jewish scholars believe he had two daughters who perished in Sodom. By the way, the NIV and NASB don't rely on the received text. So, you must take them with a grain of salt. God bless. |

14 | Should women wear shorts/pants? | Deut 22:5 | inHzsvc | 1919 | ||
Here's a question that has been answered in many different ways. I believe it's answered in that a woman should wear "modest" apparrel. Most people in Bible days wore the same thing--long draping clothes. I know some people take this to mean that a woman shouldn't wear pants, but, I've seen some women working outside in the yard that needed pants on--they were showing off, without meaning to, of course. It is my opinion that a woman(and a man, for that matter) shouldn't wear anything that might cause somebody to lust after them. That should be Bible sufficient. God bless. |

15 | Why won't Calvinists answer directly??? | Job 38:1 | inHzsvc | 2072 | ||
In Rom 8:29, Paul stated that "whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. (30) Moreover, WHOM he did predestinate, THEM he also called: and whom he called, THEM he also justified: and whome he justified, THEM he also glorified. (31) What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Personal pronouns are important. You will notice, Paul didn't say "what" He foreknew. Paul said "whom" He forknew. This language is similar to what Christ will say at the Great White Throne judgment. "Depart from me ye workers of iniquity, I never KNEW you." The foreknowledge in this verse is not a mere knowledge God has of future events. It is a loving relationship that He has for His elect. Through the fall, we are unable to come to God (I Cor. 2:14). However, by His grace, He has chosen to save some. Thank the Lord you and I are among that group. God bless. |

16 | Why won't Calvinists answer directly??? | Job 38:1 | inHzsvc | 2087 | ||
It is interesting to me that many Arminians believe in a call to the ministry, but, reject an effectual call to salvation. Is not calling one to the ministry and not calling another a form of election and reprobation(though not in the salvation sense)? God bless you and yours. |

17 | Why won't Calvinists answer directly??? | Job 38:1 | inHzsvc | 2140 | ||
I'll add two to your list, if you don't know of them. A.W. Pink and John Gill both have some good to say concerning the Decrees of God. If you don't own a copy of John Gill's "A Body of Doctrinal and Practical Divinity", you should. God bless. |

18 | Does God hate the workers of iniquity? | Ps 5:5 | inHzsvc | 2196 | ||
Hate is a strong word. However, the Scripture seems to speak of God hating all "workers of iniquity"(KJV). Then again, in Romans, it states "Jacob have I loved, and Esau have I hated." How can some simply say this is "liked less?" What is the opinion of you guys? | ||||||
19 | Is Jesus the 'Eternal Father'? | Is 9:6 | inHzsvc | 5215 | ||
I think you are trying to understand what man simply cannot understand. In John 10:30, Jesus plainly said, "I and my Father are one." And again in John 14:9, Jesus says, "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father." Thomas says to Christ in John 20:28, "My Lord and my God." So, we see from these passages that Jesus is God--the Creator. However, you have sufficiently proven that they are seen as separate many times as well. We must remember, we don't serve three Gods. We serve one True and Living God, in three distinct personalities---yet, they are One. This is something that a finite mind just can't understand and surely can't comprehend. God bless. |

20 | Is Jesus the 'Eternal Father'? | Is 9:6 | inHzsvc | 5301 | ||
I agree with the word "persons." In fact, I generally use that term. I don't know why I said "personalities." | ||||||
