141 | Personality disorder or demon possesion? | Mark 5:15 | skccab | 211896 | ||
Hiya Doc, Wouldn't the distinction kind of go back to your previous post? A "Christian" couldn't possibly be possessed by the devil and they certainly don't want to think in terms of sin or that it's because of a mental disorder so they call it oppression by the devil. (That's just my 2cents worth of the difference between the two, possession and oppression, but it doesn't seem biblical to me either.) Shalom Cheri |

Good day to you, Searcher, I'm not of the "must be" groups, guess that's why I didn't recognize the name (I'm of the "why wouldn't you want to be?" groups). Thank you for the explanation, and extra info. :o) Cheri |

144 | What was Saul’s greatest contribution? | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 211814 | ||
Shalom Malisa, Are you asking about King Saul or Saul/Paul of Tarsus in the New Testament? If Saul of the New Testament, then his contribution is about 1/3 of the NT which was written by him, and the majority of the early churches were started and or put on the right track by him. If you're asking about King Saul, sorry, my mind has gone blank :o) Maybe someone else can help or I'll get back to you on that. Cheri |

Shalom Rick, May I offer comments from a Jewish believer? Verse 17 and 19 commentaries are included for further clarification. I don't agree with everything by this commentator, any more than I agree with everything John Gill, Matthew Henry, or the others write - but they all, each, have wonderful insights to offer. 9:16-17 “Greek, diatheke may be translated “covenant,” “will,” or “testament”; the sense of these two verses depends on keeping in mind at least the first two meanings. A modern reader may be able more easily to grasp the author’s argument by thinking in terms of wills, but the context (vv. 15, 18-22) is that of covenants as set forth in the Tanakh [Old Testament] where the Hebrew word “b’rit” must be translated “covenant” and cannot be rendered a “will,.” Although “will” is suggested by the last word of v.15, “inheritance,” the Tanakh [Old Testament] uses “inheritance” to mean “that which is to be received” and knows nothing of wills. There must necessarily be produced the evidence of its maker’s death. For wills this is self-evident; but it is also true for God’s covenants, insofar as sacrifices are stand-ins for the death of the one offering them. Noah offered sacrifices (Gen. 8:20; 9:9). In the case of Avraham [Abraham] there were actual sacrifices (Gen. 15:9;, 17-18) as well as the symbolism of the blood shed at circumcision (Gen. 17:11). The author himself discusses the Mosaic sacrifices (Ex. 24:1-8) in vv. 18-24. Now a will is one-sided, but a covenant is two-sided. Obviously it was not God, who set the terms of these covenants, who died. Rather, it was, in all instances, the receiver of God’s covenant who died – not actually, but symbolically through identification with the shed blood. In the Mosaic Covenant, the dead animals represent the people of Israel as having died to their former uncovenanted, sinful way of life; while the sprinkled blood represents the new life offered through the covenant (“the life is in the blood,” Lev. 17:11). The necessary connection between deaths and covenants in the Tanakh [Old Testament] is further suggested in the Hebrew phrase for “to make a covenant,” “likrot b’rit,” which means, literally, “to cut a covenant.” On the day God cut a covenant with Avram [Abram] that his descendants would inherit the Land, Avram [Abram] cut animals in pieces and saw a burning lamp pass between them (Gen. 15:7-21). V.19 After Moshe [Moses] had proclaimed the Ten Commandments (Ex. 20) and the civil code of Ex. 20-23, and the people had responded, “We will do and obey everything Adonai [the Lord] has said,” he inaugurated the covenant by sprinkling blood on the altar and on the people (Ex. 24:1-8). Lev. 14:4, 6, 49, 51-52 report that the purification rituals scarlet wool and hyssop (see John 19:28-29 N) were used, and living (i.e., running) water was mixed with the blood. The scroll of the covenant, from which Moses read to the people, is nowhere mentioned as having been sprinkled ; but since it was made by human hands, it too needed cleansing, even though the words in it were from God Himself.” Jewish New Testament Commentary, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc. 1992, David Stern, pp696-697. (The bracketed [] information was added by myself.) Still learning :o) Cheri |

147 | Proverbs 3:3 | Proverbs | skccab | 211737 | ||
Sirhighsmith, It seems to be quite simple: Let mercy and truth be with you always in everything you do. If you are forever seeking mercy and truth, then those attributes will always come from you. A person seeking after mercy and truth will not be harsh and full of lies. Connect Prov. 3:3 to Phil 4:8 and see if that helps you understand. :o) Cheri |

148 | I'm Confused! | 1 John 1:9 | skccab | 211720 | ||
Shalom Reedera, Maybe I can help clear this up for you? When you first come to your Lord, you come as a sinner, with no hope, no home, no heritage. You were born in sin, lived in sin. He takes you and does more than just clean you up, He makes you completely new, totally whole, the way Adam was before he fell from grace. That is the only time you will come before the Throne of God as a sinner. You were forgiven for being a sinner, not for individual sins (wrongs) committed (though that is included). Now, as a child of God, fully capable of walking in the Spirit but also quite human, you make mistakes, do things you know you shouldn't. These are sins that need to be taken care of by admitting them and by asking and receiving forgiveness for them. If you don't? You won't go to hell, God won't turn His back on you, but you yourself will begin to dwell on your shortcomings and that will eventually affect your fellowship with the Father and with your fellow believers. I hope this helped a little bit :o) Cheri |

Shalom, Maybe so, but we need to take it offline. My email is in my profile. But before you go crazy trying to "convert" me, let me tell you that I have owned a Schofield Study and a Dakes Annotated, just couldn't agree with them. Learning Cheri |

151 | Gospels are OT books? | John 1:1 | skccab | 211703 | ||
Ranger, There we have it right there; I'm not a dispensationalist. I may be misunderstanding the meaning of it, but I believe that God got it right, right from the very beginning and He's not been "trying out different ways" on His people til He finds something that works. As for the sacrifice system and Temple - read Ezekiel the last several chapters and Zachariah chapter 14. :o) Cheri |

Shalom MJH, You've been around the Forum long enough to know that this is not the place to expound on the good or bad attributes of any person we happen to personally like or dislike - This is a Bible study forum. Please email me (in my profile) and I'll be more than happy to talk to you about Tim or anyone else we may happen to have knowledge of :o) But just for the record: I didn't say I did not like him, I simply said that I was not a BIG fan... Cheri |

Thanks Doc, I'll check that site out, I'm at work now,though. Like I said, I'm not a big Tim Hegg fan, there is much from him that I don't agree, or just plum don't know one way or the other about. :o) Cheri |

Hiya Doc, I don't know that you're really that interested but Torah Resource does have a page of mission and vision: http://www.torahresource.com/Vision.html I'm not a big Tim Hegg fan, but knew where to go to get this link since it was brought up :o) Cheri |

157 | 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 |

159 | Why Sarah and her name consedered great | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 211582 | ||
Hello Nadege, Welcome to the Forum!! I'm most happy to realize that Sarah was not the "perfect" model of a perfect human being, not even a perfect woman - that leaves MUCH hope for me and all others who are not yet perfected!! As to why God falls so in love with particular people, we don't know, we just know that He does - Abraham, Moses, David, etc. Again, that leaves great hope for all the rest of us imperfect folk. I would have been very proud (the good kind :o) ) to carry on her name!! Cheri P.S. By the way, Abraham had the very wife that God had had in mind for him from the very beginning. |
