141 | Rev 20:10 | NT general | skccab | 195749 | ||
Good morning WannaB, It is not TORTURE the unbeliever is going to experience, it's torment. They will see when it is too late that what they have known all along deep within themselves is true and they did not accept the invitation when the Lamb said "Come." Rom. 1:18-21 says God's invisible attributes can be clearly seen by the things that are made so that all are without excuse for not accepting the truth. Shalom Cheri |

142 | JESUS WINS AN SO DO WE | NT general | skccab | 196457 | ||
Shalom Seer, Prior to Yeshua's ascension to the right-hand of the Father, the grave was where the dead went. The grave or Hades was divided into 2 compartments, one not so pleasant for the wicked and Paradise (also called Abraham's bosom) for the righteous (those who hoped for Messiah and followed God's commandments). When Yeshua said "It is Finished!" it was finished, He did not have to go into hell to get any keys, or authority or anything - ALL was already His. He did go into Paradise (he took the repentant thief with Him), there He preached the gospel to those hoping for Him; and you know the rest. Cheri |

143 | mathew 10:11 | NT general | skccab | 197032 | ||
Shalom Kmo, At this time the disciples were sent to the lost sheep of Israel, to the Jews. A person who would be deemed worthy would have been a Torah-observant person; one who fulfilled the daily prayers, who gave alms and did good deeds, one who knew the scriptures, etc. Later, when thay were sent to the Gentiles, you can look at Cornelius from the Book of the Acts (Acts 10:1-4) to see a picture of a "worthy" Gentile household - one who did the commandments of God without knowing the commandments.

144 | Should I be water baptized? | NT general | skccab | 197324 | ||
Hi again, Water baptism is a subject that is highly debated among believers, but here is my understanding of it: Salvation is by grace through faith in the finished work of the Messiah only. Eph. 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 - not of works, lest anyone should boast. Soooo - you are saved with or without water baptism, because baptism is a "work." But - John says in 1 John 3:9-10a 9 - Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. 10a - In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God... How do we practice righteousness? James says in James 2:17 and 18 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 - but someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. Soooo - water baptism is a form of works that shows your faith by obedience, for it was commanded by our Lord to be baptised. I'm sure others will offer more (and different) scriptures, read them all and pray over them. The Holy Spirit will guide you in this. Cheri |

145 | The Lord commanded baptism | NT general | skccab | 197351 | ||
jesus1km, This is where the debate and confusion comes in and it shouldn't really. I John 3:19-24 says And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. 20 - For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our hearet, and knows all things. 21 - Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. 22 - And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. 23 - And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Yeshua Messiah and love one another, as He gave us commandment. 24 - Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, bu the Spirit whom He has given us. If your heart is condemning you for not being baptized, then by all means do it for it is sin to you not to receive baptism. If your heart is not condemning you, then do it as an act of obedience (or don't do it, your salvation is not dependant upon it). My personal view is: in whatever deed I can do out of obedience to my Lord, I rejoice!! If in everything we do and say, we remember that we are the children of the King of the universe and when people see us they see our Father, then we will do our best to make sure everything we do and say will bring honor and not disgrace to His name. That is what "works" is. Just doing everything in His name to His glory and honor. Cheri |

147 | God love the senner but hate the sin | NT general | skccab | 202767 | ||
Shalom Mr C, Welcome to the Forum. This is not going to be the answer that you want, but maybe it will be helpful to counsel your son - so here goes: 1 Cor. 6:9 says "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals 10 "nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God." And further, read 1 Cor. 6:15-20 and especially verse 18 "Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body..." So the above verses agree with you, God hates the sin of homosexuality. Does God love the sinner? Absolutely!! He gave His only Son to redeem each and every sinner from the bondage of sin! Can your son remain a homosexual and still be saved? Yes and No. First let's deal with the "no". He CANNOT be saved and live an active homosexual life. But Yes he can be saved and totally sell out to God's word and live the rest of his life celibately (it's been done before!). For that matter, if your son will let Him, God can completely renew your son's mind and heart! That's been done before too!! Gal. 6:7 "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. 8 "For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life." Sorry, this wasn't exactly the answer that you wanted, but it's what the Bible says. And 1 Cor chapter 6 also says that what you join yourself to is what you become one with (that would be either a prostitute, another homosexual, or the Lord Himself - but you can't join yourself to both). I will be praying for you and your son Cheri |

149 | Quries about Christmas? | NT general | skccab | 211600 | ||
Greetings and Shalom JB, Welcome to the Forum!! Firstly, be assured there is nothing wrong and everything completely right with celebrating the birth of our Lord - but Christmas IS NOT a God ordained celebration - it is man made (you won't find it anywhere in the Scriptures). It first came about back in the Emperor Constantine's time (3rd or 4th century I think). There are many others on this forum much better with the histroy of the Church and dates than I am and I'm sure they will add their info as they read this thread. Hope this helps in the meantime :o) Cheri |

151 | Abraham at 134 | Genesis | skccab | 187923 | ||
Hi there, Just a thought - how about his and Sara's bodies being dead to procreation and God recreated the reproductive organs and mechanisms so that the son of promise could be conceived. Wouldn't it stand to reason just 34 years later it would still be in working order? Therefore, that's not the big deal, the recreating the system in the two to begin with is the big deal. No particular scripture to back this, just an idea. blessings cheri |

152 | garden sin what happened | Genesis | skccab | 195821 | ||
Shalom EL# The sin was several-fold: 1 - Gen. 1:16-17 God told Adam that he could eat of every tree in the Garden including the Tree of Life but not from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. We must assume that Adam told this to Eve, 2 - but Eve choose to add to the commandment as well. Sin here was disobedience - Eve took of the fruit of the tree. 3 - Gen. 3:4-5 Satan brings doubt to the truth of God's word. Sin here is unbelief. Eve had stated they would die if they even touched the fruit of the tree. She had to touch it to eat and she didn't die, so she ate. She didn't die then either (or so she thought) so she gave to her husband. Well, that's an ABC of it. Others here on the forum will surely give you other details. But this is a start. :-) Cheri |

153 | Adam sent to cultivate the ground | Genesis | skccab | 196174 | ||
Shalom Taylorak, God had placed Adam and Eve in the garden with the command that all was good for them for food EXCEPT the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. They were not to eat of that tree. But disobedience and rebellion entered into their hearts and they choose their way instead of God's way - and death entered into the world. Gen 3:22 Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"-- Gen 3:23 therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. Gen 3:24 So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life. They died spiritually that very day - and to keep them from living forever in that condition , they were sent out of the Garden, away from the Tree of Life. Hope this helps Cheri |

154 | first covenant between man and man in OT | Genesis | skccab | 196920 | ||
Shalom askalot, In Gen. 26:17-33, Isaac had a problem with Abimelech (someone else may know better if this is the same Abimelech that dealt with Abraham, I don't think it is) over some wells - due to a vision from God, peace was struck and a covenant cut. I think this is the first covenant between 2 men recorded. Hope this helps some. Cheri |

155 | first covenant between man and man in OT | Genesis | skccab | 196921 | ||
Askalot, Please let me qualify my statement "they cut a covenant" - My NKJV actually says that they "swore an oath" - but that infers a cut covenant :-). Cheri |

157 | whom did Cain took as wife? | Genesis | skccab | 210739 | ||
Shalom Erzily, Welcome to the Forum!! There is a Search box at the top to your right, just enter the words "cain's wife" and you'll get 6 pages of comments (with each one of those comments tacked onto a much longer thread that you might find interesting). The short answer is, NO, God did not create any nations prior to Adam and Eve, and Cain married one of his sisters. This type of intermarrying went on for a short while, while the world populated, and the gene pool was still quite good. :-) Cheri |

158 | In the beginning God Made Adam and Eve, | Genesis | skccab | 211127 | ||
Good morning Marigee, shalom, Welcome to the Forum. First of all, you can just type in the "search" box on the upper right of this page, adam, eve, cain,able wives and you will get lots of posts to choose from to read. The main answer that you will get tho is that the boys married the girls of Adam and Eve, and this continued until the earth was nicely populated. There could be no other way. God "created" only the one man, and then made/created one woman from him Gen. 1:26-29 and 2:7, 21-25. As you read the Bible, it's easy to forget that it is not just a history of a people. From Genesis to Revelation, it's the Gospel of our Messiah, the Good News that God loves us. Not everything is addressed. It's a journey from the beginning of life to the Son of God to the end of life as we know it now. It's the story of our Savior, and our redemption. Cheri |

159 | Was Job written before the flood? | Genesis | skccab | 211381 | ||
Shalom Glad2bcp, Welcome to the Forum!! What does CP stand for, glad 2 b what? Do you mind my asking? Now, to your question. There may be others with better information but I'll try to fill in the gaps till someone else can answer. It will just be human speculation, though :o) so don't quote me. The date, as far as I know, is not actually known but there are some things about the book that leads me to believe that it was written before the Exodus. The sacrifices were not according to the Books of Exodus or Leviticus, done by a High Priest, they were done by the head of the household, Job. His age matches that of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, etc. There is no reference to the nation of Israel, or to the Twelve Tribes, or to the Law of Moses. So it seems to be in the time period of Genesis after the flood (because of his age) to somewhere as late as maybe chapter 3 of Exodus, but I'd hold out for the time period from just after the flood's repopulation to sometime before Jacob's boys formed the 12 Tribes. Still learning also Cheri |

160 | Was Abraham a Jew | Genesis | skccab | 212862 | ||
Shalom Joshua, No, Abraham was not a Jew. He was to be the father of the Jews and of many other nations. Nor was Isaac a Jew. He was the beginning of the line that would become Israel and also many other nations. Jacob was the actual, literal father of the line that would become known as Jews (Judah) and also of other nations, but he, himself, was not a Jew. His 12 sons were the ones that began to be known as Hebrews. Judah's people began being known as Jews sometime after the single kingdom of Israel split into the two houses known as Judah (Southern Kingdom) and Israel/Ephraim (Northern Kingdom) which took place during or just after Solomon's reign. Ezekiel 37 tells us that these two kingdoms will once again, in the latter days, be brought back together in their own land, as one people, under one King!! Please forgive me for the lack of scripture reference, I just woke up and my eyes just won't focus yet to look up the references (that won't happen for another 1-2 hours) :o) Cheri |
