yearegods God is a holy God everything He does, everything He feels is holy. Now, we on the other hand have jealsousy as a bad thing, generally, and rarely is it righteous, like maybe if your spouse commits adultery, then it might be being in the right to feel that way, but generally when we feel it, it is a wrong reaction. God doesn't have any rivals to be jealsous of or something, He is not jealous of someone, but about someone, us... He is jealous about us being His and when we turn to something or someone else, that is sinning against Him in a big way. Exodus 20:5 You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me. peacebestill |

marilyn I think you might find more answers as well by looking at all of Romans 5 and 6 as the direct result of justification is sanctification as described in those two chapters. Romans 5:1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. peacebestill |

4 | how can we minister to homosexuals | Bible general Archive 4 | peacebestill | 209144 | ||
Jeff I am a litte concerned... When one presents the gospel there are certain vital elements that cannnot really be left out if we are to give the message straight. I am not making an assumption here that you do not do what I am about to say, but it seems as if you would prefer not to tell a sinner that they are on their way to hell... I would think that the first element of a presentation of the gospel would be the need for salvation - people are sinners they should be told they are sinners. The next elememt would be how God feels about sin. God plans to punish all sinners with a terrible judgment and wrath. If they do not get saved they will most certainly go to hell. And we do know for certain that unbelievers as long as they remain so are definitely going to hell. So how in the world do you avoid that part of the message? If you say to someone you are a sinner without telling them the consequences, don't you think that you do them a diservice? The next element would be the message of salvation by faith alone in Jesus Christ. Jesus says in John 3:14-21 that when people hear the word of the gospel and do not believe in Him to eternal life, they have been judged already. Our job is to give people the gospel and let the Holy Spirit do His work to convict them of sin to repentance, or to shut them up under unbelief unto eternal damnation because they reject Jesus. We are just messengers, but if we do not get the message straight and have the fortitude to give it straight how are we doing our jobs for Jesus? Hell is part and parcel of the message and we do know that the Bible says homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God. How can we truly say we do not know who is going to hell? I think there are some clear Biblical instances where we do. 1 Corinthians 6:9, 10. peacebestill |

Jeff I was responding to this which you originally said; It's not our place to ever tell someone their going to Hell... we don't know that. If you have the opportunity to talk to any person regarding his/her particular lifestyle, the best way to do that is with the Word of God. Straight and to the point should be the rule. Otherwise we might end up thinking we can some how present it in a way (our own way) that is somehow "more effective". My point to you was that ALL SINNERS INCLUDING homosexuals are indeed going to hell because they are not saved and how can we avoid telling them that they sinners are going to hell, which naturally includes and applies directly to them at the time? My point to you was not that we go up to homosexuals in a conversation and say you are gay you are going to hell. But it was in having a converstation with a homosexual about sin and salvation, telling them that any sinner, they as a sinner need salvation because they are sinners, whatever that sin or sins are, and that the consequence if they do not is eternal hell? I was following the context but missed how your point in saying the WHOLE message needs to be preached because NOT TELLING A SINNER THEY ARE GOING TO HELL is the antithesis of the gospel message BECAUSE SINNERS WHO DO NOT REPENT ARE GOING TO HELL. Obviously saved sinners are not that was moot was it not?! I did not miss 1 Corinthians 6:11, I was making a point that 1 Corinthias 6:10 applies to unsaved homsexuals going to hell for sure! Now, that being said, I do not believe that homosexuality is the ULTRA sin of all sins, there are many lists of sins in the Bible and none is meant to be exhaustive... But to stand there with a homosexual who really is addressing the issue from their end and claiming they can continue on in that sin and not telling them they will go to hell after discussing why salvation, how salvation would be dead wrong. Romans 1:32 And although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do those the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them. peacebestill |

Jeff I mean you no disrespect here... I think we actually do believe the exact same thing, but that I got the misimpression at first that we did not. So I apologize if you feel like I do not understand you, I think I do and that we both agree that all the elements have to be presented to the homosexual of the gospel. And I agree with you that one cannot just beat sinners over the head with sin and hell and leave out the rest of the message. I hope you can see I am really not interested in arguing, but in coming to a common ground of understanding. And seeing as how we both actually believe the same thing I too have no more to offer. Have a blessed Lord's day. Ephesians 4:3 Being dilegent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. peacebestill |

7 | Where do angels sing in the Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | peacebestill | 208715 | ||
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Sons of God in the beginning of Job refers to angels going up to the throne of God in heaven. Many have tried to say it does not because the same phrase is used in Genesis 6 and there would be a connotation that many do not like. However, men cannot and do not go up into heaven and present themselves to God, angles do. See Job chapters one and two for that part, that sons of God refers in Job to angels. So when we get to Job 38:7 we have that the angels are present when the foundation of the world is being laid down, and they are singing. peacebestill |

dmention I do not agree with everything this link said, but you might find it useful... http://www.truthortradition.com/modules.php?file equal sign article and sign name equal sign News and sign sid eqaul sign 613 Here is a sermon on the last week. http://mynameisbrandon.wordpress.com/2007/04/03/seeing-jesus-again-for-the-first-time-sermon-the-last-week/ I think a good way to view the last week is to see how the OT prophecies of the Savior Messiah King are being fulfilled, and to see how Jesus acts as king and how His murderers fit into the picture of who gets into the kingdom, and how Jesus as Messiah and king returns triumphant over death to lead those in His kingdom to do His will and what His will is. I agree, there seem to be a whole lot of very homework questions flying around lately. Might I suggest using the search feature up to the right and top of the page? And might I suggest doing estensive Goggle searches to see what is availalbe out there? It is understandable that one could be very stumped in doing homework, but the same ground work others have done to answer the questions of those in school need to be done by those going to school. That being said, if this was not a homework question I do apologize... Which is why I did give you a real answer, just in case... :-) peacebestill |

9 | What does it mean, Seed of Abraham? | Gen 21:12 | peacebestill | 209232 | ||
totally Verse please? Without a verse in this particular instance it would be hard to answer you... This is because there are verses that speak of a seed, singular, and those that speak of seeds, plural all in reference to thing pretaining to Abraham. peacebestill |

10 | what is the Foundation Gate's significan | 2 Chr 23:5 | peacebestill | 208694 | ||
smalltinygirl I only found one clue, which is not much of a clue. In 2 Kings we have a reference to the same thing in 11:6 it calls this gate the Gate of Sur which the word Sur just means temple gate. So where in Chronicles it is capitalized, not capitalized in kings it is some specific temple gate or other, which is why they capitalized it in Chronicles, it is a specifc temple gate only no one knows what the significance of it was. The only other problem is that it is not clear whether the gate of Sur was the Foundation Gate or whether the Foundation Gate was a gate where the young Joash was made king. Confuse you now? Me too.:-) peacebestill |

11 | why did Amaziah hire Israelites to help | 2 Chr 25:7 | peacebestill | 208693 | ||
smalltinygirl It is really hard to tell from just reading the scriptures surrounding this verse you have there, but I will try. Judah was seen this time as being more faithful to God than Israel in the North. But we do know something for sure, Amaziah took a census before being ready to go to war. That means he made some sort of assessment about how many men he needed to fight the Edomites, the men of Seir. Amaziah had 300,000 men of war and decided that that was not enough. Now, we have no idea how many Edomites, the men of Seir there were, but Amaziah was concerned that 300,000 would not be enough to do the job. So since he had no more men of war he could get from Judah, he hired some out of Israel, 100,000 to feel satisified that he had enough men to go to war. What is unclear from this account or from the other one about the same thing in 2 Kings 14 is if the talents were paid to the men who were warriors or to the king of Israel, Jehoahaz. You have to ask the question at this point; since the scripture does not say these men defected Israel and got paid can we assume they did? Well perhaps if they had the scriptures would have said that they did defect, but it does not so it is safer to assume they did not and that the talents were paid to King Jehoahaz. About the kingdom split; where does it say any people from Israel defected to Judah? It says that Rehobaom fled to Jerusalem and gathered the house of Judah and Benjamin to himself; but according to 2 Chronicles 10:15 the turn of events was according to the will of the Lord that is was done so. And again in 11:4 the Lord says this thing is from Him. So we shouldn't really look at Judah as defecting, especailly since in all its history Judah was still with the Lord in more times than Israel. In fact in 25:7 the man of God tells Amaziah that God is not pleased for the army of Israel to go with him, but that is probably because Israel was not at that time with the Lord. So according to the text the answer to your question is not crystal clear, but it is most likely they were hired by Amaziah from their king. peacebestill |

12 | Responsibility in the original text | Ezra 10:4 | peacebestill | 208597 | ||
Bows44 This is from the KJV and the NASB. Ezra 10:4 Hebrew number 5921 al, the charge - number of hits for the number in the Esword; 6,555 - but the meaning and usage varies a great deal. I Chronicles 9:31 Hebrew number 530 n'tsach, of fidelity - number of hits for the number in the Esword; 49, the meaning is about the same. Numbers 4:16 Hebrew number 6486 p'quddah the charge of - number of hits for the number in the Esword; 32, but the meaning varies. 1 Timothy 5:22 the word responsiblity is no where in the original Greek text in this verse, it was added to make the English more grammatically correct as a noun connecting to the word sin. The word responsibility appears no where else in the New Testament in English. This is from the ESV. Exodus 38:21 Hebrew number 5656 abdowah service - number of hits in the Esword; 146, but the meaning varies. The Septuagint, the Greek version of the New Testament in PDF form, has three hits for the word responsibility, but it is very arduous to look through the whole Septuagint to see where the numbers are highlighted because the search feature does not reflect the Greek numbers only highlighted text does. Here is a link for that - http://www.biblicalgreek.org/links/lxx.php Try using the search feature in the PDF document after you download the free Septuagint and you will see what I mean it is a bit to look through to see after the first highlight what the numbers of the three hits are. The three English instances where the word responsibility appears in the Septuagint are; takes responsibility watch responsibility their responsibility peacebestill |

I have heard the phrase round about, "the praises of the saints are inhabited by the presence of the Lord".

I found out in my searches that a whole lot of commentators have applied this whole passage to be about two characters in the Bible, the king of Tyre, and Lucifer becuase it can be applied to the actions of both and God's actions towards both. peacebestill |
