101 | how can I eat flesh | Gen 9:4 | retxar | 25448 | ||
You are correct. This is in response to the Corinth’s liberty to eat meat sacrificed to idols, but the principle that food does not make us or break us applies to ALL food and ALL Christians. God’s approval of us has nothing to do with what we eat or don’t eat, which was what Tony was questioning. retxar |

103 | Where are muslims in the Bible? | Ex 20:3 | retxar | 21113 | ||
The Arabs ancestry is traced to Abraham thru Ishmael. Many Arabs are Muslims but that does not mean the Islamic religion has any biblical basis and it certainly did not originate with Ishmael. Religion and ancestry are two totally different things. The Islamic religion and it’s god Allah was the invention of Muhammad around 600 AD. It never existed before that. The only scripture reference that could possible be talking of the Islamic religion or Muhammad would be Mat 7:15, Mat 24:11, 2Pe 2:1, etc. One Way, that’s Jesus!! retxar |

105 | "What did Jesus look like?" | Ex 20:4 | retxar | 56961 | ||
Please believe me that the only "enemy" I was referring to was the one that comes to kill, steal, and destroy (John 10:10). However, those who are hostile to the Gospel are allowing satan to use them to be enemies of the cross, nonetheless (Phi 3:18). We are not obligated to give satan a stage to stand on, and an audience to listen to him, in order for him to spue out his lies. I had a little book one time called “Christianity, The Faith That Makes Sense". I gave it away to help someone who had some legitimate unanswered questions about Christianity. I don't remember where I got it or where another one may be available, but you might do an internet search and come up with something. It offered some real answer to some of the legitimate questions for those who were seeking to know more about Christianity. It might help you in your mission, but be sure that the answer you offer are given to true seekers. A good test would be to first ask, “If I can give offer you a reasonable answers to your questions, would you consider becoming a Christian?” If their answer is no, or their response is scorn or ridicule, move on to someone who’s heart is open to the Gospel. Otherwise, you might be violating Jesus’s words in Mat 7:6" "Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.” The ones referred to as “dogs and swine” here are those who have hardened their hearts to the point of rejecting the gospel with hostility and ridicule. Jesus never dealt with these people in a way as to try to answer their every question they brought up (made up!). Casting the “pearls” of the gospel to these might open up the Gospel up to scorn and ridicule. This does not mean to ever let up in sharing the Gospel, as you are doing, but realize that it is a glorious thing that God has committed to our trust (1Ti 1:11). Pray that the Holy Spirit will give you the gift of discernment to find hearts who are willing to accept. Continue being salt and light! Mat 5:13-16 retxar |

107 | "What did Jesus look like?" | Ex 20:4 | retxar | 56981 | ||
The book you mentioned is a good one! I posted a link to the little book I mentioned. I would have included it with this post if I had noticed your response here. Anyway, please don’t think at all that I am suggesting you are sinning by defending the WORD of God. As a matter of fact, you sound like your right on track! I just don't know you, and I thought maybe you were like me! Sometimes I get more concerned with defending the WORD than declaring it. I think the scripture references I gave speak for themselves and I have to keep them in my mind and heart whenever I attempt to answer any opposition to the Gospel. Truth will always be on our side, so "winning" any subjective debate should be easy. I just need to stay focused sometimes that the intent of the Gospel is to set people free, not for me to “win” a debate. Your discernment between those who only want to “spit on even the idea of God” and those who are “seeking the truth” is exactly the balance between love and discernment I was talking about. Remember that those you are talking to are blinded by satan (2Co 4:3-4). Remember that no intellectual debate or any facts revealed to them will ever change anything unless they also allow Jesus to also change their hearts. Never forget that you are fighting a spiritual battle and because of that, you must put on the whole armor of God (Eph 6:10-18). Keep up the good work! We do not wrestle against flesh and blood! retxar |

108 | 'Conscientious Objection' Biblical? | Ex 20:13 | retxar | 16095 | ||
Thanks Tim for answering the question I had on Romans 13. I have high regard for your knowledge of the Word, and your answer confirmed what I saw also. I stated before that I was not sure of my position on the death penalty. The reservations I have is not biblical support, but rather how scriptural support would apply if those making the life and death decisions do not uphold the Word. The other reservation I have is do I have the right to support the death penalty and ask someone else to “flip the switch” on the condemned when I don’t think I could do it myself? God bless, retxar |

110 | Did Moses seen God face to face? | Ex 33:20 | retxar | 26873 | ||
I'm sure Moses did not contradict himself. God even confirms his testamony in Numbers 12. Num 12:6 Then He said, "Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream. Num 12:7 Not so with My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My house. Num 12:8 I speak with him face to face, Even plainly, and not in dark sayings; And he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant Moses?" retxar |
||||||
111 | Did Moses seen God face to face? | Ex 33:20 | retxar | 26896 | ||
I agree with Moses and John and see no contradiction. According to my other post, I believe each time the Word says no-one has saw God at anytime, it is saying no one has seen the Father at anytime, and each OT physical encounter man has had with God, is God the Son. I see I gave the same scripture reference (Num 12:8) as Tim, but for different reasons. I gave to state that Moses’s testimony was true and did not contradict. He gave to explain the meaning of "face to face" as a figure of speech to describe the close relationship God had with Moses. I can believe that as a valid meaning, and will not insist on my literal thinking here. Either way, Moses did not write his words, but God’s words, (2Pe 1:20-21) and I can guarantee you they are true! I will address your other questions of whether the OT prophets were aware of Jesus, here, instead of under the post where you raised the questions, if that is OK bro. Jesus said in John 8:56 "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." Jesus also said in Luke 10:24 "for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it." So, by that, I gather they were aware of God the son. Thanks bro, for a sincere desire to teach and to learn; the heart of a true disciple! Gods Word is true! retxar |

113 | who did Cain marry? who will kill him? | Deut 29:29 | retxar | 17150 | ||
Sorry, I didn’t realize your lack of knowledge of “who did Cain marry” was a situation of such perishable consequences. I know it may be tough, but I don’t really think you will perish over it! Try to hang in there my friend! Actually, contrary to what you said, I DID supply scripture that answered your question, even if it did not support my wise-crack of an answer for this old, tired, dead end, and utterly worn out question. Deu 29:29a “ The secret things belong to the LORD our God”. Look again, maybe you will see. Here’s the deal I would like to make with you, if it sounds OK to you. In the future I will try to answer all your questions with solid, scriptural support, if, when you wish to call me a “fool” again, you will also supply solid scripture that you see allows you to do so. I’m kind of skiddiest of that “hell fire” stuff Jesus warned us about in Mat 5:22 myself, but you make up your own mind. In Christ Jesus, retxar |

115 | How was Samuel called from the grave? | 1 Sam 28:7 | retxar | 8024 | ||
I don't think this was Samuel from the dead at all, but a demon acting as Samuel. Saul had already inquired of the LORD, and the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets (1Sam 28:6). If God refused to answer thru the Holy Spirit, I don’t think He would answer thru demonic means, do you? Why would God talk to Saul thru means that would violate scripture? (Luke 16:26) Look at 1Sam 28:19. The demon (or Samuel) says “tomorrow you and your sons will be with me.” Did Saul join Samuel, or demons? I really don’t know for sure, but from the indication of scripture I do not think Saul joined Samuel. Can someone bring out a soul from the dead today? No! I believe today, when it happens, it is the same demon impersonation, as I think happened here. When people consult the devil, it seems to me it would be the devil who would accommodate them, not God. Could a witch bring out a soul from the dead at any time past? Jesus said it was NOT possible. Luke 16:26 says "And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us." I think I will go with what Jesus said. Jesus Lives!!!!!!!!!! |

116 | Do you own a TNIV? | 2 Sam 21:19 | retxar | 68258 | ||

117 | Do you own a TNIV? | 2 Sam 21:19 | retxar | 68663 | ||
Are you posting in tongues now bro? :-) Tell me what you know about the NIrV. Is this the same as the TNIV or is the TNIV an update or replacement for the NIrV? I had a NIrV about a year ago that I gave away, and when the TNIV came out, I thought it was probally just an update of the NIrV, as they both seem to be for the same market and see no need in both. I know it is also a resent translation, and from what I remember, it seemed to be along the same lines as the TNIV is spoken of. thanks, retxar |

118 | Does God endorse polygamy? | 1 Kin 11:3 | retxar | 68385 | ||
God's designed the family to work under the principles He established way back in Gen 2. Jesus confirmed this principle as being correct in Mat 19:4-8. The family was to consist of one husband/father and one wife/mother from the beginning. Consequences of going with our plan instead of God's plan in any thing always results in problems that could have been avoided. Abraham, David, Solomon, and other great men of God did not avoid the ploblems that arose by ignoring God's principles, we invite the same when we ignore God's guidelines. God can, has, and does, work thru all situations, but if we work against God's principles, we better know it is not for the better, but for the worst. retxar |

119 | Does God endorse polygamy? | 1 Kin 11:3 | retxar | 68462 | ||
Your statements of Abraham, David, and Solomon’s multi-wive woes speaks of some of the problems that I was talking about. In your previous post you stated that 2Sam 12:8 says that God gave David 5 of his 18 wives? How did you come up with this? This scripture is speaking of Saul’s wives; or actually WIFE, since he only had one (Ahinoam, 1Sam 14:50), of whom David never took as a wife. This is speaking of a King’s privilege according to social custom, not a Godly precedent. When a king died, social custom allowed his successor the liberty to take the previous king’s wives. Also, in context, Nathan was speaking of all David had, and was speaking out against David’s great sin of adultery, murder, and greed. Mat 19:5 ....shall cleave to his wife.... Jesus said for a man to cleave to one wife, not several. This is a command not an option. Many NT scriptures (1Co 7, Eph 5, etc, etc, etc) deal with commands and instructions of how a husband is to treat his wive. The scriptures even tells us that marriage is a good thing which satisfies desires and prevents sexual immorality from occurring outside of marriage. Scripture does not tell a man that seeking another wife is an option to satisfy desires of those who may find another attractive. Scripture does not tell a man that seeking another wife is an option to satisfy desires of those who’s wife may be unable to meet his needs. Many NT scriptures deal with the proper relationship between a man and his WIFE. Not once is a man told how to deal with the mountain of problems that would occur with multi-wive families. How come? For the same reason scripture does not tell us how to have safe sex or tell us how to smoke cigarettes and not get sick. Scripture does not deal with these issues because God only makes provisions for what He designs. retxar |
