141 | why restate all the sacrafices | Num 28:2 | meusing | 44163 | ||
'In these words the reader is furnished whith a key to unlock the whole of this portion of the book of Numbers. It is as distinct and simple as possible. "MY offering," "MT bread" "MY sacrifices" "A SWEET SAVOR UNTO ME." All this is strongly marked. We may learn here, without an effort, that the grand leading thought is, Christ to Godward. it is npt sp much Christ as meeting our need -- though surely He does most blessedly meet that -- as Christ feeding and delighting the heart of God. It is god's bread -- a truely wonderful expression, and one little thought of or understood. We are all sadly prone to look at Christ merely as the procuring cause of our salvation, the One through whome we are forgiven and saved from hell, the channel through which all blessing flows to us. He is all this, blessed forever be His name. he is the Author of eternal salvation to all them that obey Him; He bore our sins in His own body on the tree; he died, the just for the unjust, to bring us to God; He saves us from our sins, from the their present power, and from theor future consequences. All this is true; and consequently, throughout the whole of the two chapters which lie open before us, and in each distinct paragraph, we have the sin-offering introduced (see chap 28:15,22,30; 29:5,11,16,19,22,25,28,32,34,38). thirteen times over is mention made of the sin-offering of attonement, and yet for all that it remains true and obvious that sin or atonement for sin is not by any means the great prominent subject. ... there are 71 verses in the entire section-, and out of these, thirteen allude to the sin-offering, and the remaining fifty-eight are occupied with sweet-savor offerings. In a word, then, the special theme here is, God's delight in Christ. Morning and evening, day by day, week after week, fromone new moon to another, from the opening to the close of the year, it is Christ in His fragrence and preciousness to Godward." CHM |

142 | meaning of "sat in the gate" | Deut 16:1 | meusing | 163715 | ||
I believe that DocTrinsograce answered that on Sunday. he said then: ' Eastern peoples used the city gates as the place where business, government, and judicial decisions were made. The term "gates" eventually came to be used as a term to describe the place of authority for a city or nation. Based on the verse you have cited, we know that Lot had become a person of some influence in the city of Sodom. This does not mean that he was necessarily involved in the immorality of that wicked city, although Peter tells us that his soul was "vexed" by being exposed so regularly to their thinking (see 2 Peter 2:7-8). In Him, Doc' |

144 | Dueteronomy Moses remembers. | Deut 32:46 | meusing | 44369 | ||
Deut 32:3 For I will proclaim the name [and presence] of the Lord. Concede and ascribe greatness to our God. Deut 32:4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect, for all His ways are law and justice. A God of faithfulness without breach or deviation, just and right is He. Deut 32:46 He said to them, Set your [minds and] hearts on all the words which I command you this day, that you may command them to your children, that they may be watchful to do all the words of this law. Deut 32:47 For it is not an empty and worthless trifle for you; it is your [very] life. By it you shall live long in the land which you are going over the Jordan to possess. |

146 | Samuel's Son? | 1 Sam 8:2 | meusing | 47841 | ||
Samuel's first son was named Joel. It is a sad commentary that even with a Godly father, his sons did not walk in his ways. That is the reason the people cried out for a king to lead them. |

147 | When was Saul's kingdom taken from him? | 1 Sam 13:14 | meusing | 151991 | ||
I believe it was in the mind of God. Saul had been anointed to be King by Samuel at the direction of the LORD. Samuel called him the LORD's Anointed, 1 Samuel 10:1. Saul's Kingdom was remover from his family line. It would die with him. God's heart was already drawn to David; coosing him to be Saul's succesor. David realized this as he refused to kill Saul when he had him at his mercy. 1 Samuel 24:6 and 1 Samuel 26:11. David even forbade Abishai not to kill Saul: 1 Sam 26:9 But David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him, for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD'S anointed and be without guilt?" 1 Sam 26:10 David also said, "As the LORD lives, surely the LORD will strike him, or his day will come that he dies, or he will go down into battle and perish. 1 Sam 26:11 "The LORD forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the LORD'S anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head and the jug of water, and let us go." |

148 | I believe the inerrancy of the Bible | 2 Sam 8:4 | meusing | 151763 | ||
Hi, I am not Mommapbs, but I do have some interesting observations. The Tektronitron Encyclopedia Apologetica at http://www.tektonics.org/index2.html gives some very good answers to questions that many athiests ask. Concerning 2 Samuel 8:4 and how many horsemen is this note: 2 Samuel 8:4 700 or 7000 (per 1 Chronicles 18:4) horsemen? Keil and Delitzsch have a most convincing solution, that the word for chariotry ( rekeb ) was inadvertently omitted by the scribe in copying 2 Sam 8:4, and that the second figure, seven thousand (for the parasim "cavalrymen"), was necessarily reduced to seven hundred from the seven thousand he saw in his Vorlage for the simple reason that no one would write seven thousand after he had written one thousand in the recording of the one and the same figure. The omission of rekeb might have occurred with an earlier scribe, and the reduction of seven thousand to seven hundred would have followed by chain reaction when the defective copy was next copied by a later scribe. But in all probability the Chronicles figure is right and the Samuel numbers should be corrected to go with it. One thing worth noting is that the LXX as well as some of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which date far before the Massoretic text that was and is used for the Hebrew Bibles of today, have the harmonizing number of 7000 that is found in 1 Chron 18:4. So a very substantial and weighty text tradition supports the harmonization. |

149 | Will you want "illogical" propaganda? | 2 Sam 8:4 | meusing | 151900 | ||
this is true: this has nothing to do with the the different versions of the english Bible. 2 Samuel 8:4 700 or 7000 (per 1 Chronicles 18:4) horsemen?

150 | Will you want "illogical" propaganda? | 2 Sam 8:4 | meusing | 151901 | ||
this has nothing to do with the the different versions of the english Bible. they accurately translate what is in the hebrew in each book. the question of the differences is answered by this quote. 2 Samuel 8:4 700 or 7000 (per 1 Chronicles 18:4) horsemen? Keil and Delitzsch have a most convincing solution, that the word for chariotry ( rekeb ) was inadvertently omitted by the scribe in copying 2 Sam 8:4, and that the second figure, seven thousand (for the parasim "cavalrymen"), was necessarily reduced to seven hundred from the seven thousand he saw in his Vorlage for the simple reason that no one would write seven thousand after he had written one thousand in the recording of the one and the same figure.

151 | What is Incest. How is it defined ? | 2 Sam 13:1 | meusing | 47581 | ||
The story of Amnon and Tamar is a story of suduction and rape. I think rape and suduction is an abomination anywhere. ------------------------ Remember, God did not condemn Abram for marrying Sarai, his half sister. In fact he later blessed them with Isaac. |
||||||
152 | Are the days of old different from now? | 2 Sam 13:1 | meusing | 47588 | ||
The Old Testament does not support suduction and rape either. Read Heb. 11 to see the faith and beliefs of the people of the old Testament. In Christ we live in communion with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Our actions afe based on our living in vital union with the Living God. Amos 4:13 For behold, He Who forms the mountains and creates the wind and DECLARES TO MAN WHAT IS HIS THOUGHT, Who makes the morning darkness and treads on the heights of the earth-- the Lord, the God of hosts, is His name! [Ps. 139:2; Dan. 2:28.] |

154 | Threshing floor? | 2 Sam 24:16 | meusing | 39377 | ||
The threshing floor was considered Holy because the Angel of the LORD halted there. It is believed that this threshing floor later became the foundation for the temple. also where Abraham obeyed God being willing to sacrifice Isaac there because he believed God's promise so much that he knew that to keep His promise God would have to raise Isaac from the dead. John Gill on his comment on Gen 22.9 said : Mount Moriah. Maimonides (f) says, "it is a tradition in or by the hands of all, that this is the place where David and Solomon built an altar in the threshing floor of Araunah, the Jebusite, and where Abraham built an altar, and bound Isaac on it; and where Noah built one when he came out of the ark, and is the altar on which Cain and Abel offered; and where the first man offered when he was created, and from whence he was created.'' And so the Targum of Jonathan, and other Jewish writers (g). (f) Hilchot Beth Habechirah, c. 2. sect. 1. 2. (g) In Pirke, ut supra. (c. 31.) |

155 | how is it relevant to day | 1 Kin 20:28 | meusing | 166370 | ||
I am not sure how relevent it is. "The Lord is God of the hills but He is not God of the valleys" was a blasphemy that the Syrians said and which The LORD took exception to. They did not understand that THE LORD is God of all. | ||||||

157 | Why was Satan allowed amon the sons of G | Job | meusing | 44174 | ||
God does not give us the reason about why Satan was allowed. God knew Job and was proud of him. He knew that Job would remain faithful, no matter what afflicions he went through. |

158 | Why should we obey God? | Psalm | meusing | 64107 | ||
In answer to your second question : No, It is faith in Jesus that leads us to have the courage and desire to be obedient because through Him we have eternal life and we do not want to displease Him. Our life is now a life of obeience because we love Him who died for us and gave Himself for us so we might be saved. |

159 | Why should we obey God? | Psalm | meusing | 64108 | ||
God's Love is constant. We keep His word out of love and thereby show that we are abiding (living) in the love of and for God. | ||||||
160 | Is this heresy? | Ps 8:3 | meusing | 59858 | ||
I am not sure what you mean by what you are saying being heresy. It is very true that when we look at the stars we are humbled at the immensity of creation. And yet in all that we do not see His immense love for us. That is revealed to us in the unfolding drama of redemption in His revelation of Himself in the Holy Scripures cuminating in the incarnation. That is why the next verse is "What is man that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man that Thou visitest him?. The stars show us what an atom we are in comapison to that vast immensity. The scriptures show us the mind of God in regard to us. just my meusings |
