121 | can you talk about the story in exodus | Exodus | srbaegon | 225882 | ||
Hi, That depends on how much detail you want or what you want to focus on, if anything. Steve |

122 | Matt 2:11 wise men visit manger or house | Matt 2:16 | srbaegon | 225388 | ||
Hello Im4hym, You are correct that the Greek language indicates that he was not an infant. Also, Herod's action to kill all boys two and under tells us that Jesus was probably 18-24 months old. Steve |

123 | Why the brief genealogy V14-V30 | Ex 6:14 | srbaegon | 225312 | ||
Hello Azure, Moses wanted to firmly establish Aaron's and his lineage and subsequent right to act in the way they did representing God and Israel before Pharaoh. While the priestly line was not yet established as far as the narrative is concerned, the book of Exodus was probably written at Sinai or during the wilderness wandering when the priesthood was established. See John Calvin, Harmony of the Law (http://www.ccel.org/ccel/calvin/calcom03.iv.vi.iii.html#iv.vi.iii-p36.1). That is my understanding of the inclusio. Steve |

124 | looking for wisdom and sirach in bible | Bible general Archive 4 | srbaegon | 225287 | ||
Hello and welcome, Because Wisdom and Sirach are part of the Apocrypha, they are not found in any edition of the NASB Bible. Lockman Foundation has chosen to include in their Bibles only those books considered canonical from the early church fathers to the present. Apocryphal books were not accepted as authoritative until the a decision was made at the Council of Trent (1546) to include them. Steve |

125 | Why does Paul have two main sections in | NT general | srbaegon | 225254 | ||
Great question! Paul had much to tell and was never able to completely give the fullness of the God's work of redemption from Genesis to the cross. What he had not covered or needed addressing from what he had learned, he gave the doctrinal answer, then moved to application. It's an effective teaching method. Steve |

126 | why do you disagree | Acts 7:59 | srbaegon | 225176 | ||
Hi, I actually agree with everything you said. My comments were in relating the present, typical action (regardless of how wrong it is) to the past. Steve |
||||||
127 | why do you disagree | Acts 7:59 | srbaegon | 225170 | ||
If I might add to this active thread--in the first century, water baptism was the outward confession of a person's faith. It was also how someone came to the Lord. That's why you see the link between salvation and baptism. Baptism was the early Christian's confession of faith. Today, for better or worse, we have the "sinner's prayer" as the initial confession of faith. So in essence, baptism was the first century sinner's prayer. Belief and baptism were simultaneous, but that does not mean the water is salvific in any way. Steve |

128 | Did Moses throw a woman off a wall | Exodus | srbaegon | 225103 | ||
Moses did not nor did he have anyone thrown off a wall. However Jehu had Jezebel thrown down (2 Kings 9:30-37). Steve |

129 | Will Jews make it to heaven? | Rom 9:1 | srbaegon | 225047 | ||
Inquisitor, God's insistence on obedience is well-documented in scripture. Besides what you have given of the Lord Jesus' words, I add the following: Deut 10:12-13 (ESV) And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments and statutes of the Lord, which I am commanding you today for your good? The crux of the matter is in the purpose for obedience. What I mean by that is this: do we obey in order to gain or curry God's favor, or do we obey because of God's favor? As one follows the plan of redemption through holy writ, one thing stands clear--God is the initiator of grace toward his creation and desires, even expects, a response demonstrating our acknowledgment. So in the verses you and I cited, the obedience shown is a proper return of gratefulness to the Lord for his abundant favor. One obeys because he believes on God and his mighty acts. This continues on through the Lord Jesus' great act of redemption on the cross. For those who believe will demonstrate it by obedience--imperfectly in the beginning, of course, but better as he or she grows in grace. For those who refuse to acknowledge it by way of belief, there is judgment. Steve |

130 | taking up an offence of another. | Bible general Archive 4 | srbaegon | 225000 | ||
Hi Prentiss, Could you go into more detail? What do you mean by "take up the offence of another?" Steve |
||||||
131 | Arguing Among Apostles?? | Gal 2:11 | srbaegon | 224745 | ||
Inquisitor, The Lord's explanation in Matt 13 is clear. He spoke in parables to prevent understanding in those from whom he wished to judge by it. The parables were not spiritual mental exercises. If they had been, most everybody failed them miserably. The only reason the twelve figured some of them out was because of Jesus' plain teaching to them on prior occasions. Steve |
||||||
132 | Supplement to Warm Reminder | 2 Tim 2:15 | srbaegon | 224709 | ||
Inquisitor, you would do well to heed your own request. I refer to your imagination which seems to have led you away even in the posting in which you mentioned it (ID# 224656) . Steve |

133 | How did Sunday worship come to be..... | Acts 20:7 | srbaegon | 224045 | ||
Hi Tim, I agree completely and will be dogmatic about it. :-) But since the original question was about "Sunday" worship, I steered the answer to where they definitely met on the first day of the week. Steve |

134 | A question about 2 john 9-10 | 2 John | srbaegon | 223890 | ||
Hello and welcome, First, the passage in question concerns those who come actively teaching Mormon doctrine. Reject them. Second, do not completely ignore other Mormons. Be cordial but firm in your position in Christ Jesus. You may also want to know how to deal with Mormons--effective ways to share the gospel. I have a friend who was formerly a Mormon who might be able to help. E-mail me (address is in my profile), and let me know if you do. Third, I recommend that you get a good foundation in sound doctrine. Find someone to help you through the Scriptures. Steve |

135 | new heaven and new earth | Rev 21:10 | srbaegon | 223802 | ||
Yes it will. Rev 21:9-22:5 describes the new Jerusalem. 21:10 states it comes out of heaven and 21:24-27 state the people will go in and out. Steve |

Hi, That depends on what you mean by "printed." We have a codex with the complete Bible from ca. 200 A.D. Is that what you mean? Steve |
