162 | Why replace a wolf for a lion | Is 54:10 | Val | 196699 | ||
Its the leopard and the goat in this passage. That was her point that the lion and lamb are lying in a pasture in peace. The lion is not trying to eat the lamb but someone told her it is a wolf and a lamb. Anyway the point is peace - there will be peace even among the animals. Hope this helps, John. Is 11:6 And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the young goat, And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little boy will lead them. |

Azure,the Preceptaustin.org website gives information on the inductive study approach. It also explains why this method is beneficial before going to commentaries. It also gives information on the interpretive approaches individual commentators use. This helps to understand their approach. Hope this helps. | ||||||
166 | Philistines still survive today | Jer 47:4 | Val | 199229 | ||
Genesis 10:14, Genesis 10:6,13 Noah,Ham,Mizraim,Casluhim from which came the Philistines. The land of Israel has only been referred to as Palestine since A.D. 136, when the Roman emperor Hadrian renamed the Roman province of Judea "Syria Palestina" as part of his effort to rid the region of a Jewish presence after the Bar Kochba revolt. Palestina is the Latin (language of Rome) equivalent to "Philistines." God gave the land to Israel in Exodus 23:31-33. Precept upon Precept I Samuel |

170 | Did Jonah die in the belly of the fish? | Jon 2:2 | Val | 211904 | ||
I have heard Dr. McGee say that research has proven that a man can live inside a large fish, whale I believe as they have a compartment in their stomach which contains enough oxygen for the person somehow to live. He said that Jonah's appearance was probably miraculous to the people of Ninevah and that helped his testimony to them. Being affected by the stomach acid of the stomach his appearance would be a testament to God's power. Although the bible doesn't say definatively if Jonah died there I have considered that God is able to raise men from the dead but I now have the opinion that Jonah did not die because he repented and the whale spit him out and Jonah continued the work the Lord had for him to do. Considering the passages that it is appointed for men once to die and then after that the judgement as well as the fact that one cannot repent after death and come back to life it would seem that these obvious passages would explain this difficult passage. I am sure Jonah had a lot of time to think in that dark smelly place for those three days. I think one fact of the story is that Jonah was to preach to a people that he actually hated. He did not want them to repent but wanted them to face judgement for the cruelty they imposed on their enemies in war. I think this is a great testament to those who think they have gone too far in sin and think there is no chance for them to be saved. Christ offers salvation to those who will repent and believe in Him. What a wonderful hope and healing for these types of people. It also sheds light on our attitudes and begs the question are there people Christ wants me to share the gospel with who I think should face judgment not redemption? Will I be obedient to proclaim the gospel to them? | ||||||
171 | Did Jonah die in the belly of the fish? | Jon 2:2 | Val | 211911 | ||
Azure, I agree with you. The verses say he sank to the bottom of the sea;"Into the heart of the seas, And the current engulfed me" It was a violent storm and the sailors were afraid they were going to die. That is why they cast Jonah into the sea. The fish the Lord prepared actually saved Jonah from drowning. It may have taken the whale the 3 days to take him back to land. I just love the way God uses animals, fish, and nature to accomplish his purposes. I can imagine Jonah saying after he got on land, Ok I don't want to go back in there again. He headed straight for Ninevah. Then he got depressed because the people repented. | ||||||

John my friend, is this the verse that convinces you that Jonah was dead? Your sister in Christ - Val |

174 | Did Jonah die in the belly of the fish? | Jon 2:2 | Val | 211926 | ||
John my friend, could you supply a few verses from the old and new testament which you are using as cross references to make your point that Jonah was dead and raised to life. If you know of the specific show in which Dr. McGee changed his mind I would like to listen to it. Otherwise there are thousands of his teachings it would be impossible to find. I would like to see or listen to where he retracted his view on Jonah. Since you use this as your proof I would like to see the evidence. Also the many exceptions you noted as evidence to prove your point I would like to see those as well. Since you are dogmatic in your teaching it is expedient that you provide the references to which you cite. Otherwise you are being too vague for one to follow your evidence.

175 | Did Jonah die in the belly of the fish? | Jon 2:2 | Val | 211928 | ||
John my friend, since you spoke that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that Jonah was dead I would like see your research, cross references, how they relate to Jonah and how you came to that conclusion, otherwise I would recommend that we agree to disagree. I have done an in-depth study of Jonah and from beginning to end I had questions regarding the text. I would not call that vacillating. That seems to be an insulting remark. Its is not a sin to disagree on difficult passages. It is a sin to attack a persons view and make insulting remarks. I know that is not what you meant. When making dogmatic statements the burden lies on the person to thoroughly explain their concluding statement with cross references, historical and cultural background and provide the consensus within the christian community for the statement.

176 | Did Jonah die in the belly of the fish? | Jon 2:2 | Val | 211938 | ||
Hello Newwine my friend, I was looking at Jonah where he himself says in verse 3 "You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the floods surrounded me; all your billows and your waves passed over me." Please look up the defination of "billows". Also at this time the description of waves pounding him or just the sheer weight of the waters and possibly the undercurrent took him under the surface of the water. He went down as you see in verse 6. In Jonah's distress and sure death he calls to the only One who can help him, the Lord who rescues him. In Chapter 3 verse 3 Jonah begins his walk through Ninevah. As a result of Jonah's proclamation Nineveh believed God verse 5. Then down in verse 10 God sees their repentance and relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it. In Chapter 4 verse 8 Jonah wished death for himself. Because of the context I rendered Jonah depressed. Earlier he had cried out to the Lord to save him. Now he is so downtrodden he wants to die, verse 8 "It is better for me to die than to live". In the book of Jonah nowhere does it say God distroyed Ninevah instead it says quite the opposite verse 10. Your sister in Christ - Val |

Newwine my friend, I have studied Jonah in depth. I see you think your view is the correct one and that is fine. We will just disagree on this topic. We have each voiced our views so lets move on. Your sister in Christ - Val |

179 | does God intend for us to pay tithes | Malachi | Val | 194563 | ||
I understand what you are saying about the tithe and personally believe that since we are saved by grace alone as the book of Galatins speaks that we have liberty in our relationship with Christ in many regards. My question is why do some pastors insist upon the tithe and some members make those who don't tithe feel inadequate by telling them they are out of God's will and they somehow don't love God as much as they do. I have even heard preaching that if you don't tithe that - they say - and I don't agree - that God will get it some other way. Why do you think they hang on to this teaching besides the obvious answer being they get to spend the money? | ||||||
180 | does God intend for us to pay tithes | Malachi | Val | 194632 | ||
So do you think we should give of our sheeps and goats like Abraham and the storehouse was the temple. So since the temple has been torn down what temple are you talking about? | ||||||
