Hi Morant61 The case I put forward is this. There is not (one) place in the Old Testament where the word steward is used, where it is not referring to a person that takes care of the household, ie, belongings of another. In the New Testament there is only (one) time where this same definition can be used. Every other place it is only used in relation to the person dealing with the spiritual things of God. We all know that every (Spiritual Blessing) still belongs to God. We are His (slaves, servants, sons) The illustration of the steward in Luke 16 is a parable. Are you saying, we are to apply a literal interpretation to a parable, in order for us to understand the spiritual truth contained within? There are only two ways in which a parable can be understood. Are we to accept a literal understanding, to a spiritual teaching? If you would look at Matt.13:10-13 you will find a description, on all of the aspects of a parable. Your use of Luke 16:13 is only to be understood as summation of the preceding verses. Nothing more than a lawyer would do in a court room, for a final clarification of the facts. When you say. "Further, Luke 16:11 specifically advises us to be "...trustworthy in handling worldly wealth." "As His servants, everything we have is His and has been entrusted into our care." My answer is, we are no different than the people of the world, God gives them money too! Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Is there anywhere in the bible, where God says, He will be holding "US" to a higher standard than the people of the world, as far as the money He gives to us is concerned? In Acts 5:1 Ananias, and Sapphira, were they judged as bad stewards, over what God had entrusted into their care, or was it because they lied to the Holy Spirit? Therefore we can go back to Luke 16:13 "You cannot serve God, and Mammom" (That is the principle, we should gain) thereby conducting our lives accordingly. But not in the sense of stewards. My point in using this story is, specifically for what Peter said to Ananias, and Sapphira Acts 5:4 4.) Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. Do we not also have power over what God has entrusted into our care? When He gives to us, does it stay His, or are we only holding it for Him? We pay tithe, thereby God says the rest is ours? I am not trying to split hairs, but when we are doing exegesis, do we not try our best to find the exact correct Greek, or Hebrew words for the passage we are studying in order for us to better understand any given verse? Should we not be doing the same when speaking our own language, expressing our beliefs to others? I understand you know Greek pretty well. Can you show me where the word (steward) in the bible is used for a person that has their own belongings? Or is that a different Greek word? Vintage68 |

Hi humility No, to the contrary it means that the number being 490 is so many times, that we should take it to mean that you always forgive them. NO LIMIT Vintage68 |

Hi humility To say we are stewards over the things that God has given us, is a bit of a misnomer. Steward - Stewardship Primarily signifies "the management of a household or of household affairs" a steward, (the management or administration of the property of others), thus "a stewardship," as in Luke 16:2-4 Every mention of a person, in regard to being a steward, or having a stewardship in the Bible, refers to a person that takes care of the belongings of others. (Old, and New Testaments) Therefore when we say, we are to be the faithful stewards of the Lord, we are only referring to the Spiritual things the Lord has entrusted into our care. Because we are servants, (slaves) in his household. Luke 12:42 1 Corinthians 4:1,2 Titus 1:7 1 Peter 4:10 Vintage68 |

166 | What does the Bible say about gambling? | Ex 20:17 | Vintage68 | 214733 | ||
Hi Humility Your question is, "What does the Bible say about gambling?" This is the only scripture that even comes close to speaking of gambling. Matthew 27:35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots. Psalm 22:18 They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing. But as you can see, it really does nothing more than describe the same type of event that took place when the land of Israel was divided between the tribes. Joshua 18:10 Joshua then cast lots for them in Shiloh in the presence of the LORD, and there he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their tribal divisions. This casting of lots then is nothing more than a fair way of making decisions that all parties involved would agree to. But to be answering your question. There "IS NOT" any mention of gambling in the Bible. Therefore any answer stating more than "gambling, is not spoken of", is only speculation, assumption, religious doctrine, or personal belief. And our gracious host the Lockman Foundation will not allow us to delve into such discussions, as per the terms we all agreed to. You will have to do the same as others have done, deciding in your own heart, what you personally think God allows. Vintage68 |

169 | having intercourse | James 4:14 | Vintage68 | 214720 | ||
Hi Rajeeb This is the short answer. Intercourse outside the bonds of marriage is fornication. That goes for everyone, whether you will be getting married or not. So the answer to your question is "YES" it is sin. Now as far as your thoughts, Jesus answered that himself. Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Vintage68 |

173 | Rahab righteous or not? | Josh 2:4 | Vintage68 | 214676 | ||
Hi john "Basically sin is rebellion against God". Don't want to step on any toes here but, the statement made is a misrepresentation of what the "Word" says that sin actually is. 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Now looking at the law, did she break the law? Matt.22:37,39,40 37. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 39. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Well (Matt., and Rom.) answer the question for me. If she was in the same position they were, she would want them to do for her, what she did for them. Then in doing so, she was fulfilling the law even though she did not have the law. She became righteous in her act, and God showed her mercy for that unselfish act. Vintage68 |

Hi Keliy Thanks for the answer. The math on Shem was a good piece of information. Your right, It would take someone like Branham to come up with the Twin theory, in light of the two scriptures in there original context. Genesis 4:1, 2 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. Vintage68 |
