1 | Do you seek God before you post? | Not Specified | khuck | 103190 | ||
I am ready for the stones to be thrown at me LOL. Here is my question. Dearest Readers, How many posters answering questions on this forum acknowledge God (not the resource that we all research) But actually go to Him to seek His wisdom and to ask for Christlike attributes in the answers that you post. I really want to know, so sue me. (lol) -khuck |

2 | Slain or knocked down | Not Specified | khuck | 103955 | ||
I was invited to visit the church of a family member, and accepted the invite. While I was there the Pastor prayed for me as I was standing before him. He had his hand on my forehead and he was pushing me. Of Course I (wearing 2 inch heels) was pushing back against his hand, not wanting to fall. Finally he gave me a thrust knocking me to the floor, and causing much discomfort on my toosh. People gathered around me as if it was a miraculous thing. Why do they do this? What does it mean? Why is it called being slain? I have seen it done before, I have no understanding of it. -khuck |

Greetings Arapga I agree with the above answers, that they are scriptually sound. But, I will say this... The principle of tithing still holds true. If you give it the blessing will be received. Yet I concede it is not required. I have made a habit of giving 10 percent of my increase and more, and I promise you, I can not keep up on the return. I give my tithe to the Church, to do my part in keeping the place functioning. Never the less the promise God gave has proven true in my experience. (...and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.) Tried it and loved it! -khuck |

4 | Please help with Nimrud question | Bible general Archive 2 | khuck | 102484 | ||
Greetings Warstom77 I found nothing regarding Sarah in my net research, but there were tombs of three queens excavated. There is information here regarding the well of which you inquired, and an explaination on Biblical reference to Nimrud. (patience please; this a a cut and paste job) The Arabs called it Nimrud after Nimrod, the biblical mighty hunter, father of Ashur (Assur), the Assyrian hero whose name explains why Assyrians are called Assyrians. Ashurnasirpal moved to Nimrud from Assur, preferring its convenient defensive site near the junction of the Tigris and the Greater Zab. Sir Max Mallowan, who excavated here after the Second World War, says of Nimrud in his book Mallowan's Memoirs (Collins, 1977): 'There is no more beautiful mound in all Assyria than Nimrud, a lonely spot still untouched by modern development. Among many other things Mallowan discovered much perfect treasure in two deep wells. And what Mallowan found in his wells has now been added to by further finds by the experts of the Iraqi Directorate-General of Antiquities. Among other discoveries too numerous to detail here were royal filing cabinets, relating to taxation and customs duties. One tablet recorded the inspection of thirty-six thousand two hundred and forty-two bows which, Mallowan says, implies an army of at least twice. that: so Nimrud could have had a population of one hundred thousand. During the spring of 1989, continuing excavations at Nimrud under Iraqi direction discovered a tomb chamber under the "harem" of Ashurnasirpal's palace. The tomb contained the remains of two women covered with the remnants of dark textiles decorated with gold rosettes and beads. The bodies were interred with a wealth of gold jewelry, including a crown, a headband of woven links, amulets, and solid gold bracelets encrusted with precious stones. The names of two Babylonian kings inscribed on some of the objects indicate that they may be of southern Mesopotamian origin. Additional finds from the tomb include cylinder seals, a stone funerary tablet, and inscribed bowls, four made of gold and one made of a rare, transparent rock crystal. Each bowl is inscribed with the name of one of three previously unknown Assyrian queens, Yabâ, Banîti, and Atalia. While the grave goods indicate that they belonged to three queens, the remains of only two individuals have been recovered. The contents of one of the several vessels inside the tomb were analyzed and identified as cremated human remains, possibly of the third queen named in the inscription. The objects found in the tombs remain in Iraq. see: httpwww.metmuseum.org/explore/anesite/html/el_ane_xcavatio.htm http://www.learningsites.com/NWPalace/NWPalhome.html http://www.geocities.com/iraqinfo/ I hope this information was of some help. -khuck |

5 | PROVE ME: God's challenge to tithers | Bible general Archive 2 | khuck | 102612 | ||
Not to be nitpicking (giggle) I found a bit more clarity on the subject. (An excerpt from John Myers on tithing.) Deuteronomy 14:22-29, especially verses 24-26, These verses explain the Old Testament principles of tithing, which lay the foundation for church offerings in the New Testament, which is, of course, our time as modern-day Christians. As Christians today we are living under New Testament grace, not under the Old Testament law. For instance, Old Testament law commands disobedient sons be taken outside the gates of the city and stoned to death by the people. That's probably a bit harsher than most Christians want to deal with their disobedient children, not to mention it would be highly illegal. But the principle behind that Old Testament law remains for these New Testament times: children should still be made to obey their parents. Allowing disobedience with no consequences is a sure way to raise up a child who will be big trouble to society as a whole, as well as being a heartache all the days of the lives of the parents. Tithing in the Old Testament was very simple. Give to the Lord one tenth of every thing you possess, from your crops, from your flocks, literally everything. Jesus notes in the New Testament that the religious Pharisees even tithed of tiny plants like mint and herbs. So the real principle behind tithing is putting God first in all things, not only in our possessions, but our conduct, especially in regard to how we treat others. If we say we love God and then cheat and rob our brothers, we're the same as the Pharisees -- hypocrites. While we may not observe the letter of the law of the Old Testament, the principles laid down there still apply in these New Testament times, like tithing and worship. The New Testament rules for tithing are also clear, as directed by the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 9:7, "So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver." Nowhere in the New Testament are believers told to tithe. What you give to the Lord and His work is entirely between you and Him, and what He directs you to do in your heart. In my experience, I have always felt comfortable giving more than a tenth of my income. Basically Ed I think it's the principle of the thing. -khuck |

6 | PROVE ME: God's challenge to tithers | Bible general Archive 2 | khuck | 102649 | ||
Ed, Jesus was speaking directly to the Pharisees (TEACHERS OF THE LAW) and admonishing them for their hypocrisy, because they were not honest in their dealings, and they imposed these Laws unjustly on the people (Jews). He was speaking concerning the Law and the fact that the Pharisees obsereved only the parts of the Laws that benefitted themselves. You noted Matthew 23 with in it's context Jesus is definately speaking to points of Law and not Grace or the Church. 13 "How terrible it will be for you teachers of RELIGIOUS LAW and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you won't let others enter the Kingdom of Heaven, and you won't go in yourselves. 14 Some manuscripts add How terrible it will be for you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! You shamelessly cheat widows out of their property, and then, to cover up the kind of people you really are, you make long prayers in public. Because of this, your punishment will be the greater. 15 Yes, how terrible it will be for you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn him into twice the son of hell as you yourselves are. 23 "How terrible it will be for you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest part of your income, tithe the mint, the dill, and the cumin. but you ignore the important things of the law – justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but you should not leave undone the more important things. ("But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone," Luke 11:42. They pinched off leaves from a mint plant to tithe, but then cheated and robbed their fellow men, Jesus says of these hypocrites. So the real principle behind tithing is putting God first in all things, not only in our possessions, but our conduct, especially in regard to how we treat others. If we say we love God and then cheat and rob our brothers, we're the same as the Pharisees -- hypocrites.) 24 Blind guides! You strain your water so you won't accidentally swallow a gnat; then you swallow a camel! 25 "How terrible it will be for you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! You are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy – full of greed and self-indulgence! 26 Blind Pharisees! First wash the inside of the cup, and then the outside will become clean, too. 27 "How terrible it will be for you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs – beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people's bones and all sorts of impurity. 28 You try to look like upright people outwardly, but inside your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness. 29 "How terrible it will be for you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you build tombs for the prophets your ancestors killed and decorate the graves of the godly people your ancestors destroyed. 30 Then you say, 'We never would have joined them in killing the prophets.' 31 "In saying that, you are accusing yourselves of being the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Go ahead. Finish what they started. 33 Snakes! Sons of vipers! How will you escape the judgment of hell? It really pays to put scripture in it's entire CONTEXT. Therefore Ed, I changed my mind, it is not the principle ... IT'S THE LAW. (Thank God that grace abounds) -khuck |

EdB, (Good try) The reverse of what I wrote would be, "If we cheat and rob our brothers, how can we say we love God." You have taken all that I said out of context and removed the very point of the subject: Are Christians commanded to tithe or is tithing a Rabbinical Law? I used the scripture that you quoted in it's context to show that Jesus was in fact speaking to the teachers of the Law and the pharisees, regarding their unjust, stingy and dishonest conduct concerning that same law. The principle I stated was putting God first in all things. Therefore before, I write that check, I acknowledge it as a gift from Him to me and I seek His for guidance as to giving it. I never mentioned whether I was afraid to trust God with my funds or not. LOL. That's between Him and me as to how I have used what He has blessed me with and it is not a matter of Law. Paul in 2 Corinthians 9:7, "So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver." -khuck |

8 | unborn babies heavenly body age ? | Bible general Archive 2 | khuck | 102853 | ||
Hello Savedundergrace: I would love to hear responses to this one myself. I have heard those who believe all bodies will be 33 yrs old. Because they contend that since scripture teaches then we will be like Him, that the new body would be at the age of Jesus when he was crucified. (Though this is not my contention) I have no insight of regarding the age of those who receive the new body, except that it being eternal makes it difficult for me to comprehend time or age, put on an eternal body in an ageless and timeless Kingdom. I apologize if this is more of a thought than an answer. Yet I pondered this question also at times. -khuck |

9 | Are we supposed to observe the Sabbath? | Bible general Archive 2 | khuck | 102981 | ||
As Lord of the Sabbath Jesus is the Ruler and King of it... His Kingdom was established on the day of Pentecost. Which fell on the 1st day of the week. These have always been the reasons that I have held as with most Christians for Sunday worship. Matthew 12 5 And haven't you ever read in the law of Moses that the priests on duty in the Temple may work on the Sabbath? 6 I tell you, there is one here who is even greater than the Temple! 7 But you would not have condemned those who aren't guilty if you knew the meaning of this Scripture: 'I want you to be merciful; I don't want your sacrifices.' F67 8 For I, the Son of Man, am master even of the Sabbath." As Lord of the Sabbath Jesus is the Ruler and King of it... His Kingdom was established on the day of Pentecost. Which fell on the 1st day of the week. In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. the end - The Hebrew word Schabbath, from which our English word is derived, signifies rest, and is applied to all solemn festivals, equally with that one day of every week devoted to the worship of God; Eze 20:21, "they polluted my sabbaths. Three evangelists say, the transaction recorded in this verse, occurred upon the first day of the week, early in the morning, about sunrising, and John says, while it was yet dark. Commentary...Try as one might, he will search in vain for New Testament evidence that the primitive church observed the sabbath with apostolic approval. Yes, it certainly was the case that the apostles frequented the synagogues on the sabbath for the purpose of proclaiming the gospel. That is where the greatest concentration of Jews would have been (cf. Acts 13:14; 17:1-2, etc.), and the message regarding Jesus was to be spoken first to them (Rom. 1:16). But where is the evidence that the early church, under divine guidance, came together to worship God on the sabbath day? The kingdom of Christ was established on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1), which always fell on “the morrow after the sabbath” (Lev. 23:15-16), hence, on Sunday. So the church started out meeting for worship on the first day of the week (cf. Acts 2:42). The disciples at Troas “were gathered together” [passive voice] upon “the first day of the week” to break bread, i.e., to worship, (Acts 20:7). The specific day of meeting was no accident. Though Paul was anxious to get to Jerusalem (20:16), he waited seven days for the opportunity to assemble with the church. Moreover, the passive voice (see above) indicates that the assemblage was orchestrated by someone other than the disciples; it was of divine initiative. The saints in Corinth were assembling, and contributing into the church treasury, “every first day of the week” (1 Cor. 16:2 – Greek text; cf. NASB). On the isle of Patmos, John was “in the spirit” on “the Lord’s day” (Rev. 1:10). The term for “Lord’s” is kupiakos, which is defined here as “relating to the Lord.” Thayer comments: “. . . the day devoted to the Lord, sacred to the memory of Christ’s resurrection” (365). The Gospel narratives, of course, make it clear that the resurrection occurred on Sunday. While Revelation 1:10 would not be conclusive by itself, the very fact that the day is specifically mentioned is significant. God's Peace be with us! -khuck |

Hi EdB You Said "If you want to know financial freedom in your life, real freedom begin tithing if you haven't already and continue if you do, you will no longer be a slave to money." I AGREE WITH this so so MUCH. And it is the reason that I tithe. Because whether the command is for the Jews or the Church is not the issue, but for me God's promises hold true thoughout any dispensation. And I agree with you on this one thing: God's promise still remains. Malachi 3 10-12...Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit," says the LORD Almighty. 12 "Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land," says the LORD Almighty. (God did not say that we rob Him in tithes alone, but he said tithes "AND OFFERING" the church has been commanded to give generously) -khuck |

11 | Do we believe IN God or believe God? | Bible general Archive 2 | khuck | 103094 | ||
I'd say yes if by believing you mean believing His Word to be true and by believing IN; to believe there is a God. There are those who believe that there is a God, they believe He exist, but they feel the Word is a fallacy contaminated by men. On the other hand for a deeply grounded Christian, I think they should mean the same. Believing IN what He says, does, and promises would equate to believing Him and that He Is! (We therefore we put our trust IN Him as we trust and believe Him.) God's Peace to you! -khuck |

Well I doubt that I will start a trend or a cult Searcher... and I doubt that I will be doing any further research on my response. I did research my answer AND for you to contend that I do not want to do the research or will not, is the ONLY danger I am seeing here. I have researched it as far as it is going to go on my part (I am not here to debate with you or any theology folks). I chose to express my thoughts and opinions on Christian issues and my love for jesus. So if you have further research to disprove my response, post it. Unless you are telling me that in order to participate here, I must do as you say. |

I hold to the fact that because the resurrection as well as the pentecost was on a sunday IS WHY WE AT MY CHURCH ATTEND ON THAT DAY. IF you think that is wrong that is your opinion and I ain't mad at ya. But that is what and why we do it.(Pentecost is the only festival for which no specific date is given in the Bible. Rather, the people were instructed to count seven weeks “...from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf [omer] of the wave offering (Lev. 23:15). Pentecost was CELEBRATED ON SUNDAY CHECK LEV. Go and worship in a church with others who are worshipping Christ that Sunday (if you don't have a church, pick one and go). If you regularly go to church, invite someone to go with you for Pentecost Sunday. The Spirit birthed the fellowship of Jesus' followers (the church) that first Pentecost, so to try to worship Christ by yourself is even more of a rejection of the Spirit on Pentecost than it usually is. -Robert Longman Jr. Compare these First Pentecost (The Commandments Given) Pentecost After Christ (The Holy Spirit Given) First Pentecost -Fifty days from the crossing of the Red Sea Pentecost After Christ -Fifty days from the resurrection of Christ First Pentecost -Law of Yahweh written in Stone Pentecost After Christ -Law of Yahweh written on our hearts First Pentecost -Three thousand slain Pentecost After Christ Three -thousand receive salvation First Pentecost -The letter of the Law Pentecost After Christ -The Spirit of the Law This is the end of my research for your sake... I am indeed a Christian and take no offense at your statement about the possibility of my responses making me or them against Christ. LOL and yes that is funny. These are the things that let me know I must be serving him. But I have not the time or inclination to debate you. As I said before... if you have otherwise... do as I do... post your reasons. But please get off my back... unlike many here I am not looking for a war of words, nor am I here to prove that I am the smartest LOL. I readily admit that I am not the sharpest pencil in the can. BUT I KNOW THAT I LOVE THE LORD WITH EVERYTHING THAT IS IN ME. And all of the research and learned knowledge in the world will never EVER change that. I only seek that He be glorified, I seek no glory. His grace is sufficient for me, khuck |
