101 | nehemiah 1:9 | Neh 1:9 | bowler | 207113 | ||
b.j. I found something that relates for you. Deuteronomy 30:3, 4 then the Lord your God will restore you from captivity, and have compassion on you, and will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you. If your outcasts area at the ends of the earth, from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there He will bring you back. Mark 13:27 And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthes end of heaven. Between the two verses I think we might just have what Nehemiah is talking about in 1:9. Just a worlthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

102 | Which Enemies Could Israel Marry? | Deut 21:10 | bowler | 207086 | ||
Cheri Your wording was fine. I think we just might have hit on something plausible there between the two of us!:-) Ephesians 4:3 being didlgent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

103 | Which Enemies Could Israel Marry? | Deut 21:10 | bowler | 207084 | ||
Cheri I see what you mean about the 7 nations were destroyed - that would be the "nations of inheritance" - "go into the land which I am giving you to possess it", "destroy all of your enemies in the LAND (nations) which I am giving you". As oppossed to "enemies from far off" coutries who come into the new land of inheritance on a conquest, not Israel going off to a Gentile country to get wives.:-) The battle would come by invasion from Gentile nations not "within those nations destroyed and land of the promised land from God, the inheritance", nations far away. I could be wrong. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

104 | Mark 2;21,22? | Mark 2:21 | bowler | 207083 | ||
Doc Help my understand you better about the establishment of the kingdom of God now being through the church, and how that might be different from the new covenant of Jesus (the way in which people are now going to be in a relationship with God)? I don't think you are wrong and I am right only I am trying to see what you mean about the church. There was no church yet. John the Baptist, his followers and the Pharisees were all fasting, maybe it was Yom Kippur? :-) Seriously how about Sabbath day fasting, "you shall do no work?" Exodus 31:15, as the law? So they would have to fast? Could it be that verses 18-22 are part of the same day as verses 23-28, the Sabbath day? I could be very wrong? Brain teaser - why were the disciples of John and the Pharisees fasting? Or were they? In Luke it does not say they were, it says that they often did so maybe it wasn't the Sabbath? So many questions. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler In Leviticus 23:27 "humble, or afflict yourselves" refers to fasting? |

105 | Which Enemies Could Israel Marry? | Deut 21:10 | bowler | 207080 | ||
Cheri Thanks. Reason not to marry because they were greater? I could be really wrong, I thought that they were suppossed to utterly destroy them because they were greater than Israel. And that they were suppossed to not marry them because they would start pagan worshipping. I could be really wrong there, but I just looked again at the text in Deuteronomy 7:2-4 and tried to follow the order of what action seemed to be tied to what reason. I just saw something in posting John back about why maybe the Israelites could marry some and make peace treaties with them and why some were to be annihilated. Maybe there were two different types of enemies? Those who were nations of "the inheritance of Israel", and nations who were "far away" who were not? And the ones who were the "inheritance" had to be annihilated, and the ones who were "far" did not have to be? I looked at Deuteronomy 10 as you point out there is in vers 19 - So show your love to the alien, but you were aliens in the land of Egypt. Apparently some kind of foreigners who were not of Israel could be let live? Perhaps as long as they were from "far nations" not of the "nations of inheritance"? This goes to what you are saying "were not included in the allowances elsewhere"? Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

106 | Which Enemies Could Israel Marry? | Deut 21:10 | bowler | 207079 | ||
John I am hearing clearly what you are saying, that it must be Iraelites Moses was speaking about them marrying because he already said not to. What that leaves me trying to understand about the text is who the enemies were? Israelites, to my knowledge had no enemies amongst themselves at this point that I can tell from reading Numbers through Deuteronomy. That only leaves the pagans? I could be really wrong here. The peace terms thing - Deuteronomy 20:10 When you approach a city to fight against it, you shall offer it terms of peace. Deuteronomy 7:2-4 and when the Lord God delivers them before you and you defeat them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them and show no favor to them. Etc. Deuteronomy 7:16 - consume your enemies do not pity them, do not serve their gods, etc. Deuteronomy 7:14, 15 take the women and children as spoils as booty of your enemies - do this to all the cities that are very far which are not cities of these nations nearby. 20:16 Only in the cities of these peoples that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall not leave alive anything that breathes. Perhaps the difference is of which type of enemy? The fist type of enemy being those who you could make a treaty with and marry because they are "far away" and not one of the nations being given as the "inheritance to Israel"? The second type of enemy being those who are in nations that are "the inhereitance to Israel" - and these utterly destroy? I just caught that, literaly, in going to quote for you about that peace treaty! Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

107 | Good and Bad Fruit Out of Context? | Matt 12:33 | bowler | 207078 | ||
Doc Thank you. 2) The context - I think I mentioned Jesus is talking about what to do about what you say and not about what you do. I mentioned that I looked down the passage? 10) Perhpaps you are directing me to this principle of one intrepertation, more than one application? A strict interpretation limits the meaning to that Jesus was only speaking about speech and not action as in "committing the unforgivable sin of saying Jesus cast out demons by the power of Beelzebub". In all fairness to you and what you are teaching, I do believe you are trying to point me to a secondary Biblical application that says "a good tree bears good fruit as in good actions, and a bad tree bears bad fruit". Thank you for the branch. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

108 | Jesus Speaking of Unbelievers? | Matt 25:35 | bowler | 207075 | ||
Doc Thank you. I think I was unclear. I mean was Jesus referring to the ones in prison as being believers or unbelievers? Rather than who He was speaking to. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

109 | House Hold Idols in the OT? | Gen 31:19 | bowler | 207074 | ||
Doc Please forgive me. In my eagerness to ask this pariticular question I once a gain forgot to look everything up. While waiting for an answer I looked up the word and the roots for the words "house hold idols". Perhaps you would be interested in what I found. 8655 Teraphiym - family idol 7495 Raphah - heal, physician So perhaps this was an idol for the family, the house hold for some kind of healing ritual, or practice. Yes you are right superstition is alive and well today. I guess before Moses came along the law had not come in so God said nothing, but I got to wonder why He was silent when about the whole practice in David's time after the law came in? We see Solomon being warned against pagan worship. Just an unworthy son. blessings abound, bowler |

110 | Which Enemies Could Israel Marry? | Deut 21:10 | bowler | 207071 | ||
John Yes, I agree it is about sin, and marrying them was a sin. I am confused about something, not that you said, but about the text. Maybe you could help me out here. Moses is the one speaking in Deuteronomy 21:10, he has been speaking one continuous discourse since Deuteronomy 1:6. I may be wrong about this, but I kept reading and reading and saw no event breaks there, just one long discourse. But I could be wrong, it may be various discourses strung as one single piece. The reason I say this is because when Moses speaks about this same issue in Deuteronomy 7:2-4 he says to kill everyone and not to marry them, but in Deuteronomy 21:10 he says if you want to take a wife do so - he also says in 20:10 that peace terms can be offered instead of annilating them all, as oppossed to 7:2-4. In the NASB the caption on chapter 20 says Laws of Warfare, the caption on chapter says Warnings. I may be missing the whole context thing, or not. What do you think, if you feel like discussing it further? Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

111 | Phonetic meaning of Welcome | Bible general Archive 4 | bowler | 207070 | ||
seirra I do believe I have seen this done before. However, the way you are going about it is backwards, as one usually starts with a verse, and then takes the first letters of key word and makes a single word that typifies the whol verse (these are rare finds). I can not think of even one off the top of my head. Some of the instances in which I have seen what you are talking about being done actually are not from Bible verses, but from Bible concepts. Like "Faith" - Forsaken All I Trust In Him. What you are interested in is Bible accronyms, you might try googling it. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

112 | Mark 2;21,22? | Mark 2:21 | bowler | 207065 | ||
Jesus Keeps Me I do believe Jesus is talking to the Pharisees about why the disciples did not fast. Jesus is using an illustration to tell them that because Jesus is with them there is no need to fast by talking about new patches of cloth in old garments and about putting new wine into old wine skins. The old covenant required fasting, the new covenant is Jesus. There was no need for the disciples to observe old laws, when a new covenant of grace was with them, it was time to do things differently. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

113 | A hard question. | Gal 1:8 | bowler | 207062 | ||
Jesus Keeps Me Romans 16:17 Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hinderances contrary to the teachings which you learned, and turn away from them. 2 John 1:9, 10 Anyone who goes too far and does to abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him in your house, and do not give him a greeting. It is completely possible and acceptable to politely end the converstation at any point within it that you realize the above is going on. You are not required to continue the conversation until it is ended for politeness sake, and it is not mean to do so. You have already told them the truth about Jesus Christ, or the Bible, and once you see they don't receive it, you are within Biblical rights to end the conversation. I was looking for something I thought I saw one time about warning someone twice before turning away from someone, but I think that was to do with believers and not unbelievers, I think.

114 | Which Enemies Could Israel Marry? | Deut 21:10 | bowler | 207051 | ||
How come if men were to desire the women of their enemies they were to take them and make them their wives? - Deuteronomy 21:10-13 I thought that Isael was not suppossed to intermarry with their enemies because their enemies were pagans? 1 Kings 11:2 - you shall not associate with the women of the nations, etc. Which came from Deuteronomy 7:2-4 - destroy everyone and don't take the women as wives, etc. I am missing something here about Deuteronomy 21:10, is this talking about a different type of enemy? I thought there was Israel, and then everybody else who was not of God. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

115 | House Hold Idols in the OT? | Gen 31:19 | bowler | 207049 | ||
In looking at several OT stories I see that the people of God had "house hold idols", and I am trying to understand what there were. Here are some other examples. 1 Samuel 19:13 Michal took the household idol and laid it on the bed, and put a quilt of goat's hair at its head, and covered it with clothes. Judges 18:14, 18 - apparently a priest had house hold idols, and graven images, and molten images. In light of Exodus 20:4 - I am trying to understand how this could be? Why did the people of God in the OT have house hold idols? Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

116 | Jesus Speaking of Unbelievers? | Matt 25:35 | bowler | 207046 | ||
I am trying to figure out what exactly Jesus is saying in this verse I chose. Would you say that Jesus is talking about believers, unbelievers, or both? Hebrews 13:3 Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill treated, since you yourselves also are in the body. It seems that back then if a person was in prison in those lands there was nothing provided for the prisoner - someone had to bring food and necessities from outside and bring it to the prisoner.

117 | Good and Bad Fruit Out of Context? | Matt 12:33 | bowler | 207045 | ||
I myself have used this verse very often to mean that the "actions" of others constitute the "good tree and good fruit" and the "bad tree and bad fruit". After reading further down the passage, I am wondering if I am getting it all wrong! Jesus speaks of the words that come out of people's mouths as being this bad or good fruit rather than anctions. So, my question is are we taking the verse out of context by applying it to action as well, since Jesus does not say works, or actions? Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

118 | Why Could He Not Do Many Miracles? | Luke 9:42 | bowler | 207043 | ||
I have been pondering about the following - There are a number of instances where Jesus healed people who did not necessarily exhibt faith from what we could tell by what was written. That is not to say definitively that they did not have faith, we just don't know for sure. Some instances where Jesus Heals - Mathew 4:24, 8:16, 17, 12:15 – 21, 12:22, 14:14, 15:30, 19:2, 19:14, 21:14, Luke 5:15, 9:42, 22:51, John 5:1 - 9. Here are some instances where Jesus healed those who it was written did have faith and were healed - Mathew 8:8, 9:2-8, 15:22 – 28, Mark 10:47-52, Luke 7:44-48, 17:17-19, Here is my question - Why is it that Jesus did not do many miracles at Nazareth because of their unbelief? Mathew 13:58 And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief. I can see that the context is that "they" were saying that He was a local with family there, but they admit that He was doing the miracles, but then they took offense at Him. Seeing as how Jesus did miracles of healing when around the unbelieving Pharisees and Scribes and Sadducees, I am trying to understnad why it made a difference there at Nazareth that they were full of unbelief?

120 | difference between the two Marys | NT general | bowler | 207041 | ||
Athila Mary the mother of Jesus - Luke 1:26-38 - Mary was a virgin visisted by the Holy Spirit who conceived in her Jesus and was from Nazareth. Mary the Magdalene - Luke 8:2 and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses; Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out. The two Mary's - Mathew 27:56 Among them was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother (Salome) of the the sons of Zebedee. There is a third and a fourth Mary - John 11:1, 2 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha, It was the Mary who annointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. John 19:25 Therefore the soldiers did these things. But standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. Jesus had brothers and sisters- Mathew 13:55 - Is this not the carpenters son? Is this not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And not His sisters, are they not all with us? Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |
