161 | Why weren't Levi and Simeon punished? | Genesis | skccab | 212972 | ||
Shalom Adriana, To answer your 2nd question first - yes, indeed, God did say that a man who spilled another's blood would pay with his own blood. First, you must be aware that it was not just the 2 men, Simeon and Levi, the scenario included all of the men of military age in both of their entire tribes (which according to the number of all of Jacob's family were not very large). Simeon (the man) payed dearly, he lost the blessing of the first born which would have gone to him because of what Rueben had done (Gen. 49:5-7). That scripture also includes Levi who also lost the first born blessing which would have gone to him due to Simeon losing it. That, alone, was bad enough for them, but look at your maps in the Bible and see that Simeon only got a very small portion of land WITHIN Judah's portion, and Levi got nothing of their own. They paid. Just as an aside: the firstborn blessing was split between Judah (given the right to rule entire nation after Jacob Gen. 49:8-12) and Joseph being given the double portion (which was split between Manasseh and Ephraim) of the material wealth of Jacob (Gen. 48:5-6 and 49:22-26). Hope this helps a little bit :o) Cheri |

162 | gap therory | Gen 1:1 | skccab | 188061 | ||
Hi Chach, I don't know which way I lean on the "gap" theory; the only thing I know is that it seems to exist for 2 reasons (other than scientific): 1 - Many people don't believe that God would create something that is in chaos - that something had to have happened that made it that way. 2 - When God told Adam to "replenish" the earth -the question arises how can you re-plenish something that has never been "plenished"? Just some thoughts blessings cheri |

163 | Did God bless the beasts as well | Gen 1:25 | skccab | 213300 | ||
Shalom Azure, That's an excellent question. To the 2 passages you used, they separate the different creatures: air and waters and earth. Man is more than an animal but we are "upon" the earth with the beasts, so it's quite possible that the blessing to man could spill over to anything else that walked or crept UPON the earth...?? This is just speculation, but do you think maybe He didn't bless the beasts on the earth specifically because He knew one of them would cause the havoc that took place after He had finished His work (Gen. 3:1)? Thanks for setting my brain to task....:o) Cheri |

164 | Can we conciliate Gen.1:27 with 2:7 ? | Gen 1:27 | skccab | 208938 | ||
Shalom Tim, Welcome to SBF!! I was going to answer this a long time ago but company came by. God works in patterns, and those patterns stay the same throughout. One such pattern that He uses to teach His kids, is repetition, repetition, and more repetition. We seem to learn more easily by this method. Sooooo, chapters 1 and 2 of the first book in the Bible would certainly have the beginnings of this pattern. For some reason, these two chapters seem to just throw people off. We read numerous times about the exploits of David, and Saul, and Jeremiah and all the others. We have 3 gospels that tell us vertually the same thing over and over again with little added tidbits here and there - and none of this seems to disturb us, it's like that's as it should be - it just seems to be the first 2 chapters in Genesis that tend to throw us a curve. God is just establishing one of His many patterns, that's all, nothing at all mysterious about it. My 2cents worth Cheri |

165 | Christiant without relationship | Gen 2:18 | skccab | 198335 | ||
Shalom Hadassah, This is just my opinion and I may get corrected by those more knowledgeable but here goes: If I'm involved in anything and there is no explicit guidance about it in Scripture - if my heart (or mind) begins to question it, then I need to quit it because it is obviously sin to me (though not necessarily to anyone else) and that will hinder my relationship to my Father, because I will eventually come under conviction about it. (I must decide which is more important - what I'm doing or my relationship with my Father.) If my heart (or mind) has no question about the thing I'm doing (and there is no explicit guidance on it in Scripture) then for me it is OK to do the thing (although to someone else it could be a sin). I cannot advise you one way or another about your relationship with this person, except to tell you to read the scripture and pray - then OBEY what you hear. Your sister in the family of God Cheri |

166 | Offerings of Cain and Abel | Gen 3:21 | skccab | 208912 | ||
Shalom Genesis24 No, the scriptures are not silent as to the blood sacrifice. There is a beautiful picture/lesson in Gen. 3:21, where an innocent had to shed blood to physically and spiritually cover the guilty, and it was done by God's own hand. Cheri |

167 | Is procreation a command or a blessing | Gen 9:1 | skccab | 198881 | ||
Shalom Azure, I'll jump in here, if you don't mind, for there is one thing that took place at this friend's marriage that hasn't been touched on - the oath, the vow, the committment. Tell your friend to do a study on how the Father feels about those things. Which is more important, fulfilling a vow, a committment or sexual gratification? Still learning, too Cheri |

168 | looking for verse "what ever man thinks | Gen 11:6 | skccab | 200193 | ||
Hi Betsy, shalom, I sent my answer to you to Doc, (sorry, doc). Gen 11:6 The Lord said, "Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them. Is that what you are looking for? Read it in context though. Cheri |

169 | Does Jesus die for Gentile's sins too? | Gen 18:18 | skccab | 214155 | ||
Good evening Edscusa, You have some very good answers for both of your questions - but let's connect them. Nineveh was a nation of Gemtiles. Jonah was in the belly of a big fish 3days and 3nights, then relented and preached to Nineveh. The city heard and repented, and was saved from destruction. The Master was in the belly of the earth... Gentiles have always been allowed and welcomed to be a part of God's chosen people. When they attached themselves to Israel in the wilderness and in the Land, they were never to be treated as anything less than full-fledged Israelites, never ever second-class citizens. See Romans chapters 9-11. Cheri |

170 | What is sing a Judah praise?? right?? | Gen 29:35 | skccab | 201428 | ||
Shalom Phyl7, First of all the word "Judah" means "praise." Then there is a group called Judah Praise. Is it a song by this group that you are talking about that is sung in your church? I have not heard them (only know of them) so I cannot personally give a thumbs up or down on their music. But if singing the song doesn't feel right then don't sing it, use that time for a moment of personal prayer. Google judah praise and do a little research. Cheri |

171 | Why translations use LORD not Yahweh? | Ex 3:15 | skccab | 198603 | ||
Shalom James 008, I am just beginning to learn Hebrew, but I think I may know enough to answer your question. Biblical Hebrew has no vowels, only vowel symbols which were created long after the Torah scrolls were written. (They are used in Hebrew Bibles but still not in the Torah scrolls.) No one really knows what vowel sounds were originally given to the Tetragrammatron (spelling?) yod-hei-vav-hei. For that matter, people who use the word Yahweh, I think, have it wrong, for in Biblical Hebrew there is no "W" sound (in modern Hebrew the vav can be either a "V" sound or a "W' sound.) Anyway, I think that's the main reason the translators don't use the name "Yahweh," because no one knows for sure just how to write it out correctly. Or, it could be that they took their cue from the Jewish people who don't use the name for that reason, as well as they believe the name to be too holy to utter. I hope this helped a bit Cheri |

172 | God sought Moses to kill him | Ex 4:24 | skccab | 198234 | ||
Shalom Hadassah, Since your question posted 4 times, I'll go ahead and try to answer at least your first question; someone more knowledgeable may answer both much better. In Exod. 2:8 we're told that Moses' birth mother was paid to nurse him and remembering Isaac's feast at being weaned at 5 years of age, I think we can safely figure they had 5 years together. She surely shared his heritage with him. And in Exod. 2:11 we're told that Moses was aware of his lineage with the Hebrews. The burning bush episode begins in 3:2 and appears to go on until 4:17. We are not told how much time passed from verse 17 to verse 20 - hours? days? weeks? In Exod 4:20 we're told that Moses began his journey back to Egypt and in verse 24 at some emcampment God sought to kill him. We are not told how much time passed between those four verses, but it must have been at least 1 or 2 days. You would think (and I'll bet God thought so too) that the man who was going to rescue his brethren from Egypt would at least have circumcised his own sons by now (remember, he knew he was born a Hebrew). How would the Hebrew elders receive Moses if they found out that his sons were not circumcised? There may be more to the story than what I'm seeing, but this is how I understand it :-). Your question about Pharaoh is a good one, but I don't have an answer. I'll be watching this thread to see what others will tell you. HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Cheri |

173 | why did God wait ? | Ex 4:24 | skccab | 207802 | ||
Vblocal, Welcome to the forum!! Are you talking about the circumcision of Moses' sons? Scripture doesn't say why the boys were not circumcised first. But God works in patterns, and He was about to redeem Israel from slavery in Egypt, and His redemption is "free." He redeems first and then shows one how to live the life of a redeemed person. Cheri |

175 | Leviticus16:8,10,20-22 | Leviticus | skccab | 210965 | ||
Shalom fellow-Ohioan, I think one reason you are getting confused is that you have decided that Azazel is satan. As far as my knowledge goes, the sages don't really know who or what Azazel was/is. The goat for Azazel indeed did carry the sins of the people into the wilderness (and to keep it from returning or winding up somewhere else, it was usually thrown off a cliff, as history records it). There's much more written about this but I don't have the references to state them on the Forum. :o( Cheri |

178 | Reason 4 "6" Cities of Refuge? | Num 35:6 | skccab | 213942 | ||
Shalom Pattycake, I don't know of any significance in the particular number of cities, but I think I can help in the other part of your question. It was an ancient tradition to avenge the killing of a family member. This would be done by the "blood avenger." The cities were to be for refuge for accidental killings, not pre-meditated murder. The accused would find shelter within one of these cities as he awaited the verdict of the "judges" concerning the death. If pre-meditated murder he would pay with his life by the hand of the "blood avenger", there would be no refuge; if accidental (where there was no previous animosity between the two), then he would remain within the city until the death of the current high priest. If he left the confines of the city before that time, then the "blood avenger" could seek his life. (Num. 35:9-33) I pray this helps a bit, and that someone else may have an answer on the specific number of cities, that might be interesting.... Cheri |

179 | divorce? | Deuteronomy | skccab | 194664 | ||
Hey Michael, You have lots of questions :-) Deut. 24:1-5 talks about divorcing a wife and she remarrying and getting a divorce or being widowed, the first husband is not to re-marry her. But it says nothing about the two changing their minds before any other types of arrangements have been done. Cheri |

180 | Books for a high-tean girl to read | Deut 6:7 | skccab | 189088 | ||
hi 00123, Many of the larger Christian book stores have a fiction section including an area for teens. You might look into some of those titles. They range from mysteries to friendships to teenage romance situations. And of course, there's always non-fiction. I remember as a girl how awe struck I was reading about Corrie Ten Boom. And Joni. Hope this helps somewhat cheri |
