1181 | praise the Lord at all times | Ps 66:4 | Radioman2 | 79021 | ||
"They will sing praises to Your name." Amen. According to Psalm 66:4, they shall indeed sing praises to His name. 'People call on, pronounce blessings, minister, preach, speak, pray, believe, take oaths, and wage war in his Name. They may revere, fear, suffer for, blaspheme, misuse, be called by, be kept by, or build a temple for the Name.' (God, Name of, Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology.

'Names are more than labels. In Old Testament times a name expressed identification, but also identity. Significant meaning often attached to a name. Names had an explanatory function (cf. Abigail's explanation about her husband, "He is just like his name — his name is Fool" [1 Sam 25:25]). Name changes were important, since a message attached to the name. Abram (great father) became Abraham (father of a multitude) (Gen 17:5; 32:28). In some sense a name was the expression of an inmost reality. 'Scripture makes much of the name for deity because in the name lies a theology. "I am the LORD, that is my name!" (Isa 42:8; cf. Exod 15:3). The name of God is a surrogate for God himself (Psalm 54:1; Prov 18:10; Jer 23:27). To give attention to the name (i.e., to God himself) is to put oneself in the place of blessing (Mal 3:16).'

1184 | dose it matter if some don't know | Ex 6:3 | Radioman2 | 79017 | ||
fran1947: Welcome to the Forum. You write: "It is not important if we do not or cannot remember the different names of God." Please consider the following: 'The God of Israel was known by many different names, titles, and epithets. God's particular names derive both from his revealing his attributes and character to Israel and from Israel's response to him. However, alongside this wealth of names and epithets in the Bible, the concept of God's "Name" itself plays an important role. In the Bible God reveals his Name, puts his Name in a place, causes places to bear his Name, protects by the power of his Name, and Acts for the sake of his Name. People call on, pronounce blessings, minister, preach, speak, pray, believe, take oaths, and wage war in his Name. They may revere, fear, suffer for, blaspheme, misuse, be called by, be kept by, or build a temple for the Name.' (God, Name of, Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology.

1185 | Judgement:preachers who curse nontithers | Heb 7:8 | Radioman2 | 79015 | ||
Speak to the Israelites, that they take for Me an offering. From every man who gives it willingly and ungrudgingly with his heart you shall take My offering. Exodus 25:2 AMPLIFIED AMPLIFIED 1 Chronicles 29:9 Then the people rejoiced because these had given willingly, for with a whole and blameless heart they had offered freely to the Lord. King David also rejoiced greatly. - - - - - - - - - - "Tithes were not primarily gifts to God, but taxes for funding the national budget in Israel." "New Testament believers are never commanded to tithe. " - - - - - - - - - - You are correct when you say "tithes do not apply to the NT" era. "Two kinds of giving are taught consistently throughout Scripture: giving to the government (always compulsory), and giving to God (always voluntary). "The issue has been greatly confused, however, by some who misunderstand the nature of the Old Testament tithes. Tithes were not primarily gifts to God, but taxes for funding the national budget in Israel. "Because Israel was a theocracy, the Levitical priests acted as the civil government. So the Levite's tithe (Leviticus 27:30-33) was a precursor to today's income tax, as was a second annual tithe required by God to fund a national festival (Deuteronomy 14:22-29). Smaller taxes were also imposed on the people by the law (Leviticus 19:9-10; Exodus 23:10-11). So the total giving required of the Israelites was not 10 percent, but well over 20 percent. All that money was used to operate the nation. "All giving apart from that required to run the government was purely voluntary (cf. Exodus 25:2; 1 Chronicles 29:9). Each person gave whatever was in his heart to give; no percentage or amount was specified. "New Testament believers are never commanded to tithe. Matthew 22:15-22 and Romans 13:1-7 tell us about the only required giving in the church age, which is the paying of taxes to the government. "Interestingly enough, we in America presently pay between 20 and 30 percent of our income to the government--a figure very similar to the requirement under the theocracy of Israel. "The guideline for our giving to God and His work is found in 2 Corinthians 9:6-7: "Now this I say, he who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully. Let each one do just as he has purposed in his heart; not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver." (www.gty.org Click on Issues and Answers.

1186 | How does eternal security build faith? | Rev 3:5 | Radioman2 | 78934 | ||
Disciplerami: Greetings and thank you for your reply. I agree with you that this makes sense: Anyone who is practicing sin needs to be lovingly approached and encouraged to repent. One who persists in willful, deliberate sin and rebellion against the Lord should not be encouraged with the promise of security. Such a person may be clinging to a false hope. (Nevertheless, Scripture abundantly affirms the Christian's eternal security. See Jn3:15-16, 36; 10:27-30; Rom 8:35,37-39; Eph 1:12-14; 4:30; Phil 1:6; Heb 10:12-14; 1 Pet 1:3-5.) Radioman2 |

1188 | Radioman - What did God say in Exo 6:3? | Gen 17:1 | Radioman2 | 78921 | ||
The name YHWH appears approximately 169 times in the book of Genesis alone. Yet you take the position that no one ever heard of it or used it until the time of Moses (i.e., until the book of Exodus). The name YHWH appears nearly 7,000 times in the OT. Yet you imply that it is just another one of many names and titles. That it has no particular significance. That there is nothing to distinguish it from all the other names and titles of God. God did not announce his name YHWH until Exodus? He announced it to Abram. Genesis 15:7-8 (ESV) And he (God) said to him (Abram), "I am the LORD (Hebrew YHWH) who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess." [8] But he said, "O LORD (Hebrew YHWH) GOD, how am I to know that I shall possess it?" He announced it to Hagar, Sarai's maid. Genesis 16:11 (ESV) And the angel of the Lord said to her, "Behold, you are pregnant and shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD (Hebrew YHWH) has listened to your affliction." |

Tim: I have the highest respect, as well as admiration, for you -- for the courtesy, honesty, impartiality and scholarship that characterize your postings. Your thoughts on the topic under discussion are appreciated. In addition, please consider the following. The name YHWH is used approximately 169 times in the book of Genesis alone. Yet some take the position that no one ever heard of it or used it until the time of Moses. The name YHWH appears nearly 7,000 times in the OT.

Perhaps I missed something, but when I answered your Notes, they appeared to be stand-alone posts. That is, they were not connected to a thread. If they were connected to a thread, it would help me to see what it is you're getting at. This is not a criticism of you or your ideas. I am merely trying to understand. What is the primary question which you are trying to answer? Thank you in advance for your help and clarification. Good to see you participating in the forum. |

You write: "If He DID NOT MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN BY HIS NAME how WAS IT KNOWN TO THE PATRIARCHS?" You tell me. You're the one who is saying that the name YHWH was unknown to the patriarchs, even though I have shown you in Genesis that the patriarchs did call upon the name of YHWH. So indeed, "if He DID NOT MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN BY HIS NAME how WAS IT KNOWN TO THE PATRIARCHS?" You tell me. This is a question that is left unanswered by you, not by me. "One of the basic principles of biblical interpretation is the analogia scriptura, the analogy of Scripture. In other words, we must compare Scripture with Scripture in order to understand its full and proper sense. And since the Bible doesn't contradict itself, any interpretation of a specific passage that contradicts the general teaching of the Bible is to be rejected." OK, if the name YHWH was not known until Exodus, then you tell me: How is it that men called upon the name of YHWH in Gen. 4:26, 8:12, and 13:4? How are they to call on him of whom they have never heard? One of two things must be true: a) Either the passages in Genesis that speak of men calling upon the name of YHWH are untrue, in error and not a legitimate part of the inspired scriptures; or b) Exodus 6:3 is not to be taken in an overly wooden literal sense, but must be interpreted in light of other scriptures that address the same issue. Which is it -- a) or b)? We have to compare scripture with scripture and apply a little common sense to its interpretation. Otherwise, we are left with unexplainable contradictions between various verses of scripture. Re-interpreting or changing the meaning of a number of verses of scripture to fit one's own interpretation of a single verse is not applying sound principles of interpretation. Rather it is precisely what the Jehovah's Witnesses do to prove their heretical points. |

1193 | the son of man (talking aboutJESUS) | John 17:5 | Radioman2 | 78884 | ||
Hebrews 2:5-9 (ESV) Now it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. [6] It has been testified somewhere, "What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you care for him? [7] You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor, [8] putting everything in subjection under his feet." Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. [9] But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. |

1197 | Is Saddam the anti-christ? | Revelation | Radioman2 | 78871 | ||
Welcome to the forum! Don't be deceived about the identity of the antichrist. Over time false prophets and sensationalists have been speculating as to who the antichrist will be. They have come up with everything from Hitler to Stalin to Prince Charles of England. No offense to you is intended, Orvee. But just because the Left Behind books seem to promote the doctrine of a pre-trib, pre-antichrist rapture, this does not mean the doctrine is true. On the other hand, it is absurd that someone on this forum (not you, sir) keeps making remarks about writers of fiction, remarks that imply that the Rapture, Great Tribulation, etc. are inventions of writers of fiction. To imply that these doctrines were unknown until the publication of the Left Behind series in the 1990s is absurd. It is totally ludicrous. |

1198 | How does eternal security build faith? | Rev 3:5 | Radioman2 | 78867 | ||
I believe in the security of the believer and I agree with you. We ought never give anyone false hope of their salvation. Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you--unless indeed you fail the test? 2 Cor 13: 5 NASB According to the Scriptures, I believe in eternal security; I do not believe in eternal presumption. 'No one who persists in willful, deliberate sin and rebellion against the Lord should be encouraged with any promise of assurance. If you know someone like that who professes faith in Christ, follow the process of Matthew 18 and call that person to repentance. But don’t encourage him or her with the promise of security. Such a person may be clinging to a false hope' (http://www.gty.org/IssuesandAnswers/archive/sinextend.htm) |

1199 | What is your point? | Rev 3:5 | Radioman2 | 78864 | ||
Thank you for the clarification. I did not actually think you believed that some Bible passages were not true. But I needed the clarification to be sure. What I do believe about you is that you have a high view of Scripture. It is clear from your other posts that you do believe in the inspiration and authority of the Bible -- all of it. Thank you. |

Actually, Searcher56 is in conflict with Genesis 4:26; 12:8; and 13:4. And actually Ryrie is in conflict with Searcher56. NASB Genesis 4:26 To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of the LORD (Hebrew YHWH). NASB Genesis 12:8 Then he (Abram) proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the LORD and called upon the name of the LORD (Hebrew YHWH). NASB Genesis 13:4 "to the place of the altar which he had made there formerly; and there Abram called on the name of the LORD" (Hebrew YHWH). |
