121 | Need to know the answer on where was Abr | Gen 11:31 | keliy | 220928 | ||
I believe that your answer is found two verses prior to chapt. 12. 11:31, And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there. (and Terah died in Haran vs. 32) 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country I am so grateful to serve a Lord wholoves us so much, and has grace upon grace in store for us, that He will not allow us to stake out our camp any where that comes short of the Promised Land. |

122 | Why did Moses' send his wife to Midian | Ex 4:25 | keliy | 210762 | ||
Greetings, senicienta, Welcome, and thank you for your question. It seems as though he had sent them back, probably from the inn where his wife’s aversion to the circumcision of her son could have likely cost him his life. See 4:24, "And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him." He presumed there would be difficulty in the Pharaoh's court, and decided not to take any along with him of his own family, the protection of them is likely only one reason, another possibility is that he sent them to his father-in law, fearing they may become a further hindrance, or maybe Pharaoh could have used their presence as a bargaining tool against Moses. Other possibilities are likely as well. keliy |

Okay, I meant his own family, brothers and sisters notwithstanding. As for speculation on Scripture, I have read many commentaries, take Revelation for instance. It is possible to pick up the works of 10 commentators and get no less than 12 explanations of the verses. May I ask you, are you at odds with them as well? Do you judge me for doing my best, if my best is not faultless? If there is no response to a query, is it wrong to start a dilogue with my best understandings, or would we actually fare better to leave well enough alone? Speaking alethes in agape, keliy |

126 | besides Moses who was to go without food | Ex 4:25 | keliy | 212571 | ||
Question 1, from Mat 4:1,2 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. Question 2, From Chuck Smith: So he would veil his face when he would go out and talk with the children of Israel, because he would have this shining on his face. When he'd go before the Lord he'd take the veil off. Now twice in the New Testament this veil is mentioned there in a couple of different ways. Number one, why the veil over the face of Moses? Because it was hard to look at his shining face? No. In Corinthians we are told that the reason for the veil over his face is so that they would not see the shining go away, fading. But the fact that the shine was fading away from his face, was indicating the fact that the law that God was given was to fade away when God established the new covenant with man through Jesus Christ. So that they would not see the fading away of the old covenant, his face was veiled. But Paul goes on to say, "But even today their faces are still veiled when it comes to the word of God." They can't see the truth of God in Jesus Christ. They still have that veil over their face as God seeks to speak to them today, and they cannot see that Jesus Christ is indeed the Messiah that God had promised to the nation Israel. So the veil still over their eyes, not being able to behold the truth of Jesus Christ. keliy |

Hello Barbell, Welcome to the forum, your question is appreciated but is also confusing. The 21st chapter of Exodus contains laws that relate to the fifth and sixth commandments. Looking at the numbers in the Scripture reference you mention, there appears to be a typo. Could you please rephrase your question for us? Blessings, keliy |

Hello, Humility, It was on March 7, 321 A.D., when Constantine I decreed that Sunday would be observed as the Roman day of rest. This is past the biblical era so I am afraid that support from the Good Book will be hard to come by. However if you were to use the search feature of this Forum, I am sure that you will find much more info than I have offered. Blessings to you and yours, keliy |

Hello awanee Welcome to the forum, and thank you for the question. My recollection of the history is a bit vague, so I will not try to get into many details at this point. The church is not attempting to command feasts or holydays -at least in my eyes. The question to you, is, "Who is the church?" My answer would be that the church is the Body of Believers of who Christ is the Head, and as such we are commanded to obey all authority, as I suppose they did under Constantine, who was not necessarily a practicing Christian. King Constantine was not the 'Church' when he commanded the changing of the Sabbath into Sunday, because this is not how it happened. The Romans tried to beat down Christianity but failed King Constantine, in order to expand his territory (approx 313 AD) decided to allow Christianity which was, up until that time, an unlawful practice. This was quite a bold move for his time yet was quite successful. Actually the Jews, since 70 AD had no more Temple to make sacrifices in order to observe 'the Law'. And, Jesus said, I came not to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it." The Jews made sacrifices in the OT because there was no remission of sin without the shedding of blood. Jesus' Blood put an end to blood sacrifices because there was nothing to add to the completeness of His work on the Cross. This is His New Covenant. It was the Apostles who knew Jesus inimately that began celebrating the day of His resurrection as 'The Lord's Day' This is not Protestants, or any believer contradicting any law or precept or even themselves. This was a New Cause to celebrate and remember that Jesus death and Resurrection has fulfilled the Law and released us all from its rule. So, this is not the institution of a festival, it is just keeping a time for remembrance. Jesus said, "Do this in remembrance of Me." Again, this is just how I remember, and I welcome any additions or corrections. Lord Bless, keliy |

131 | ... | Ex 31:16 | keliy | 212896 | ||
Yes, you are right. If I may make make a slight correction. According to Judaism 101:Jewish Calendar, The Jewish calendar coordinates all of three astronomical phenomena. The rotation of the Earth about its axis (a day); the revolution of the moon about the Earth (a month); and the revolution of the Earth about the sun (a year). Months are either 29 or 30 days, corresponding to the 29½-day lunar cycle. Years are either 12 or 13 months, corresponding to the 12.4 month solar cycle. http://www.jewfaq.org/calendar.htm I however, think that the biblical evidence points to a complete week of 7 days. keliy |

132 | how big was the arc | Ex 37:1 | keliy | 210352 | ||
Greetings, llcjwbek Welcome to Forum. It does help to be very specific in your questions because there are a lot of people here who take things in different ways, and the Bible is so broad in scope. I will answer to the best of the ability that God gives me. The KJV answers your question in 3 different verses, in Gen 6:15, The ark is spoken of is the sanctuary for the animals during the great flood. And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. Now, a Cubit is said to be the length of the section of a man's arm between the elbow and the tip of his outstretched fingers. But how long was Noah's arm? This is commonly held to be (in U.S.A.) at 17ft 6 inches, which would make the ark 5250" long, or 437 feet and 6 inches. The breadth, or width would be 73 feet, and the height would be 43 feet 9 inches. The other options for your answer, and you can do the math, since I do not know if you are using the metric system or not, are: Exd 25:10 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. Exd 37:1 And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it: This ark is of course meant to be the sanctuary for the Lord, that He may dwell with His people, as in Exod 25:8 I hope this helps, if you need more info, don't be shy ;o) Keliy |

Hi taustin, When a teacher asks such questions of the students, it is not because of the significance of which direction is travelled, it would be to see how well the reading assignments are being followed.

136 | Banker are sinner or not | Deut 23:19 | keliy | 214650 | ||
Ggood morning Rajeeb, welcome to the forum and thank you for the question. If only more bankers would start out with questions like yours, what a world we would be living in (o: ! The wording of the verse contains the clue to the answer. "You shall not charge interest to your countrymen" So we must remember to whom our Lord was addressing this directive, and His purpose was for the preserving of the purity and honor of the families of Israel, What He was saying was that they must not lend for the gain of interest to another Israelite. This is because God had given the promised land to His people and for the purpose that all should share in common all they have been given. In extreme cases, such as in the case of a crop faillure another person should see it no great burden to lend of the excess of his crop to the one who has needs to feed his family. This would be of no great sum, usually a small amount from the excess as the Lord has seen fit to sustain His people. In the lending of money, when no agriculture is involved for instance, when a neighbor has an honest need, and it takes a little bit of cash to tide him over, we should give him the amount that is needed, until he is able to return it to us without interest, because if this neighbor is unable to make ends meet with what he has earned, then the interest we charge would be a greater burden on him for the next pay period, causing him to come up even shorter. In this way our lending to him would be a hindrance rather than a help. This is not to be confused with the prrocess of lending money as a way of making a living, which in our culture is not only accepted but often expected. If a person were to want a house or a boat, and agrees to the terms of the contract beforehand, it is a perfectly acceptable venture in the eyes of both parties, as both parties receive a benefit. keliy |

Blessings to you, Rajeeb. First, I would suggest that we should start by comparing the two religions. It would also be obvious that offering a comparison of Christianity and Hinduism is quite a challenging task. I might begin by pointing out that Hinduism is not exclusive and accepts all religions as valid. On the other hand, Christianity, teaches that Christ is the only way to God. The Bible tells us in John 14:6, "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.' As a Christian, I must believe that Jesus could not be telling a lie, because He is truth and truth is a product of reality. It is not possible for two opposing statements to be equally valid. Where we see the contradiction, we must also find the error. Either Christ was wrong or He was right when He claimed to be the only path to God. Both Christianity and Hinduism hold beliefs which appear similar, but there is a major difference that is not to be overlooked. In Hinduism, as well as Judaism, we find a sort of compensation being made for sins through sacrifices to an angry God. Both religions teach that this is done through animal sacrifice. The culmination of these sacrifices for sin is found only in Christianity. This is where God's love for His creation is made evident. I can think of no other religion that teaches of their Savior being made a sacrifice for the sins of anyone else. Jesus explains His love for us in John 15:13, "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." We have all done things we know are wrong. Both Hinduism and Christianity relate the divine commandment of "perfect righteousness" and also that we are to be held accountable for our actions. The difference is that Christianity preaches the penalty for our sin has already been paid by the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. To become a Christian is to accept by faith that this ultimate sacrifice is sufficient and through the grace of God we are able to avoid the ultimate penalty. There are many people who are much better at explaining the dynamics of this than I. Two of them are Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron, and I suggest you listen to their video messages at www.wayofthemaster.com/ In His Love, keliy |

Pete, I just finished posting on your other thread, so I apologize for the confusion, but this is an unconnected thought. I was just reminded of something that I had learned about the difference between the Old and New Testaments and I would like to share them, hoping to shed some light on your studies. Everthing in the Old Testament points Forward, -to the Cross. Everthing in the New Testament points Backward, -to the Cross. Two different ways of looking at the connection between the two are these: 1) The Old Testament contains the New Testament, -concealed, while the New Testament contains the Old Testament, -revealed. 2) The Old Testament holds the New Testament, contained, while the New Testament contains the Old Testament, explained. Continued Blessings, keliy |
