101 | OT Scripture about Satan before his Fall | Ezek 28:12 | srbaegon | 210018 | ||
Hello beingther, We have a problem then. The passage that actually names Lucifer (Isaiah 14:12-21) describes him as a proud, loathsome being. He was indeed perfect in the beginning but became proud. At the beginning of his rebellion, he became a liar and murderer. Steve |

Hello beingther, Why must you have Strong's Concordance and know names and numbers? I agree that a concordance is worthwhile, but why is it required? Just reading a good English translation is the best place to start. Steve |

Hello beingther, If God had that many people after Adam was created, they would have been born from Adam and Eve. Therefore they would have been siblings. Steve |

104 | Follow up. Was it REALLY Samuel? | 1 Samuel | srbaegon | 210010 | ||
Hello sox1515, We know that the dead have appeared to the living. Moses was on the mount with Jesus. And, of course, that was a special circumstance. God can do as he pleases. It certain is odd for God to allow Samuel to be summoned by the witch, but evidently there was a valuable lesson that needed to be taught to Saul. As for Lazarus, nobody forbade him from returning to warn the rich man's relatives. Abraham just explained that it would do no good. (See Luke 16:19-31) Steve |

105 | Men having long hair a disgrace? | 1 Cor 11:7 | srbaegon | 208674 | ||
Hello McBoy222, I thank you for your gracious manner in this discussion. I will continue to disagree because you continue to make cultural rather than Scriptural arguments. I also disagree that women give headship to men. God established the order. That being so, headship is non-negotiable. I rather see respect as earned and given. Steve |

106 | Men having long hair a disgrace? | 1 Cor 11:7 | srbaegon | 208664 | ||
Hello McBoy222, Welcome to the forum. I must continue to disagree since Paul makes an argument from nature which supersedes any cultural argument. I do agree that the passage deals with God's order in headship, so the question of the concluding remark is one of scope: what custom is not known among the churches? Headship? Head-coverings? Hair length? Contentiousness? I lean toward the last in this series. Steve |

107 | Men having long hair a disgrace? | 1 Cor 11:7 | srbaegon | 208658 | ||
Hello Roots, Actually, culture should not have anything to do with the matter. When Paul said that long hair on a man was a disgrace, he probably had in mind God's desire to keep gender distinctions: like in Deut 22:5 where men and women are not to wear each others' clothing. Steve |

108 | Men having long hair a disgrace? | 1 Cor 11:7 | srbaegon | 208619 | ||
Hello, Culturally, the time period was one where men kept the hair cropped shorter. This is noticed from art and decorative pieces of the time. The Nazirite vow was for a specific period at the end if which the hair was cut. The three you mention are utterly unique as lifelong Nazirites. Jesus could not have been a Nazirite for more than one reason: 1) Is 53:2 says "he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him." A Nazirite sticks out like a sore thumb. 2) Nazirites could not consume anything made with grapes. a) Jesus would have been conspicuous at the wedding of Cana had he not had any of the wine. b) In Mark 14:25 he says that he will not drink the wine again until later, inferring he had done so previously. 3) Num 6:6 says the Nazirite shall not go near a dead body. Jesus touched dead bodies. Steve |

109 | What do we need to know about God | John 17:3 | srbaegon | 208539 | ||
Hello jamison, You might consider recanting these "outside the box" statements for a couple of reasons. 1. You understand Scripture as well as the Pharisees if you think Jesus was "outside the box." A thorough study of the Old Testament would should he was in the middle of God's box, just not the Pharisees' box. 2. What is now considered orthodoxy has been built up over 2000 years being based on the apostolic teaching and carried on as one shares with faithful men who teach others (2 Tim 2:2). Several throughout history have chosen to cast this history aside with generally disastrous results in their lives and those they lead astray. Steve |

Hello yearegods, The Bible attributes these miracles to God. May I remind you of one rule from the Terms of Use? * Postings must be Biblically based and not opposing the Bible's sole authority (sola Scriptura), Christianity, or the deity of Jesus Christ. You have just violated this rule. Steve |

112 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | srbaegon | 208246 | ||
Hello Immanuelsown, As Hank said, you are grasping at things of no consequence. Why bother? To answer your 5 questions though: 1. Nobody knows. 2. Because they were obedient. 3. Because Eve was tempted (Gen 3:1-7; 1 Tim 2:14). 4. Adam and Eve were innocent. We are not. 5. They were not created perfect. They were created sinless. You assume that there was lust in Adam and Eve before the fall. For that to be the case, God could not have called his creation very good upon its completion. Lust was generated by an outside source (the serpent) and not by any natural longing. Also, lust cannot be what brought sin into the world, because the commend was to not eat of the tree. Only the actual act, not the feelings or appetites, was forbidden. Steve |

113 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | srbaegon | 208234 | ||
Hello Immanuelsown, You asked if the knowledge of good and evil was the same as sinning. Of course, the answer is no. Implicit in the concept of wisdom is the ability to know right from wrong/good from evil. For wisdom to be attained, there must be the ability to differentiate between them. God never forbade Adam and Eve the ability to know good and evil. He forbade them to do it on their own terms--by eating the fruit. As for your statement: "The knowledge of Good, and Evil, opens up to mankind, all sorts of sins." That is not a necessary consequent. You assume it was always true because men are now sinners.

114 | love as opposed to false humility | Luke 16:1 | srbaegon | 208229 | ||
Hello s-o-g, You are answering an unknown question. You would do well to respond as the system was designed. I will make comment. 1. You say that the essence of the Law was found in Lev. 19:18, yet the Lord Jesus said otherwise in the following. Notice which command is considered greatest. Matt 22:34-40 (ESV) [34] But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. [35] And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. [36] "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" [37] And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. [38] This is the great and first commandment. [39] And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. [40] On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets." 2. You desire the reader to "pray for spiritual discernment rather than knowledge of facts and figures." Spiritual discernment comes from knowing God's word. If I do not have knowledge, I cannot discern. Steve |

Hello son of god, You point is unclear. Are you saying that Christians are to let falsehood slide in the name of love? Steve |

116 | Will suicide condem my soul to hell? | Ex 20:13 | srbaegon | 208140 | ||
Hello s-o-g, You have a novel understanding of Scripture. There are several examples of Old Testament saints who succumbed to their bleak circumstances--Naomi called herself "Bitter"; Job lamented his birth; Baruch had grown weary of his groaning; Elijah wanted to die. True believers do fall prey to their circumstances. It happens. Steve |

118 | Where and when did Gentiles originate? | Bible general Archive 4 | srbaegon | 207804 | ||
Hello homerv4, We have a serious problem then. You see, Ezra 4 says that all that went captive into Babylon were Jews. Ezra 4:1 specifically mentions Judah and Benjamin. We know that Levites came back from captivity, so they were considered Jews. Simeon had its borders within Judah, so they must have gone into captivity and would be called Jews. When the kingdom was initially divided, faithful of each tribe went to live in Judah (2 Chron 11:13-17), so they must have gone into captivity so would have been called Jews. So, I suppose the most you can say is that only those living in Judah could be called Jews. I might give you that one. Steve |

119 | Do you keep salvation? | John 10:28 | srbaegon | 207528 | ||
Hello FlintyJoe, You wrote, "Once Jesus gives someone everlasting life in heaven, no one will be able to take it away from them. When will this occur? It happens after death, when one will 'put on' immortality." My Bible says that eternal life is given before physical death. John 3:36a Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life "Has" life, not "will have" life. Steve |
