161 | What was Christs successful office | Hebrews | biblicalman | 228908 | ||
Hi Shella welcome to the forum. The office you may have in mind is His office as High Priest. This is outlined throughout Hebrews (2.17; 4.14-15; 5.1-10; 6.20 etc) , and is often seen as in mind in John 17. But His offices, which are many include that of Saviour (e.g. 1 peter 1:1); , Mediator (1 tim 2.5); Lord (often); Creator (col 1.16; heb 1.1-3); Sustainer of the universe (col 1.17); Trek Leader (heb 2.10-11); and so on. Best wishes |

163 | Why did God kill Uzzah | 2 Samuel | biblicalman | 228903 | ||
Hi ASC welcome to the forum There are times in history when God is revealing Himself in special ways. This was one of them. The Ark of God was held as especially sacred. It denoted the place where God came down and met with His people. Normally it would be hidden behind a veil. But because it was being transported it had been placed on a cart which had been made for the purpose. Special preparations had been made. It had been placed on the Ark by those appointed by God who themselves would not have touched it. It had to be carried on poles. All knew that no one must touch it. To do so would be to defile it. As the cart moved forward crowds danced around. Many more were watching. Uzzah had been given a grave responsibilty, to bear the Ark undeflied to Jerusalem. The oxen stumbled. But there is no indication that the Ark was in any danger. For Uzzah to reach out and touch it was an act of gross blasphemy. It revealed a heart that had no regard for the holiness of God. He was treating God with familiarity, and demonstrating that he had no confidens that God could look after Himself. He was treating Him like a lifeless idol. Had nothing happened the whole crowd would have lost their awe at the presence of God. Uzza revealed that He was not sufficiently in awe of God, and his act was an act of gross disobedience. But his being struck down does not necessarily mean that he did not find mercy, only that he had by his action forfeited his life. From then on none could doubt the sacredness of the Ark. In the end we must recognise 'how unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out' Best wishes |

164 | wantin to get saved | Rom 10:9 | biblicalman | 228901 | ||
Hi Brandy, Welcome to the forum. The first step is to to recognise that you are coming to a Saviour Who is personal and real. It is He Who does the saving. You are seeking a personal experience with Him. Next you must acknowledge your sinfulness before Him 'If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves, but if we openly admit our sins, He is faithful and will justly forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1.8). Admitting our sins involves repentance (a changing of the mind) towards them. Our aim must be to turn from sin, to repudiate sin and to put it behind us (Acts 2.38). Then you must recognise that Jesus Christ has paid the penalty for your sins. 'Who His own self bore our sins in His own body on the cross' (1 Peter 2.24). 'Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous One for the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God' (1 Peter 3.18). Then you must ask Him to forgive your sins, thank Him for dying on the cross for you and bearing the punishment for your sins, and ask Him to come into your life as your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10.9). Then you must believe in your heart that He has fulfilled His promise, 'Behold I stand at the door and knock, if any man or woman hears my voice and opens the door I WILL come into him/her and will sup with him and he with me' (Revelation 3.20). If you really want to be saved and made into a new person (2 Corinthians 5.17) He will do it for you in that moment. Your prayer might be something like this (but it must be genuine): Lord Jesus Christ, I admit that I am a sinner. I want to turn from sin and follow you. I now turn my back on sin and ask you to forgive me for my many sins, and to cleanse me through and through. Thank you for dying in my place. Please come into my life and be my Saviour and Lord. Thank you Lord. Amen. May God help you to take this step honestly and truly. God bless you. |

165 | GOD/ SATAN TEETH | Revelation | biblicalman | 228898 | ||
Hi Sharan, welcome to the forum. I suspect that the TV Pastor was expressing himself vividly in order to get over his point. He was probably indicating that the Lord had made Satan relatively harmless. Scripture says the same thing when it says that The strong man has been bound by the Stronger than He (Luke 11.22). Satan is in fact a spirit being and therefore has no teeth. Best wishes |

166 | Dose the bible note angels by gender? | Bible general Archive 4 | biblicalman | 228890 | ||
hi John well as i think that Gen 6.1-4 does actually teach that evil angels (demons) did in some way have intercourse with women, something confirmed by Jude 6, I consider that my answer was based on Scripture. Many well accepted commentaries would confirm it. Kidner says, 'the normal meaning of the actual term 'sons of God' (bene elohim) is 'angels' and nothing has prepared the reader to assume that 'men' now means Cainites only.' He then adds 'the craving of demons for a body, evident in the Gospels, offers at least some parallel to this hunger for sexual experience'. He cites in support 1 Peter 3.19-20; 2 Peter 2.4-6; Jude 6; and more clearly Jewish tradition in Enoch 6.2 and Qumran Genesis Apocryphon col.II. I don't think that you can doubt Kidner's credentials as a Consevative Evangelical scholar. We may not be able to fully explain it. But it is there and quite clear. We must not hide from the difficult things in Scripture. Beside the Bible text both your and my opinions are very secondary. In the Old Testament bene elohim (those in the likeness of the elohim i.e. spirits) always refers to angels. I do not avoid diffciulties by trying to explain them away. But I have no wish to prolong the subject. It is not one of the most savoury parts of Scripture. which is why God brought about the Flood. Best wishes. |

167 | Bible say about disciplining your wife? | Eph 5:25 | biblicalman | 228889 | ||
hi welcome to the forum The Bible says that a man should love his wife even as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her. She is to be cherished and watched over (eph 5.25). Husbands love your wives and do not be harsh towards them (col 3.19) Marriage is a partnership and partners do not talk about diciplining each other but about helping each other. Each should be making a contribution to the whole. Best wishes. |

171 | Dose the bible note angels by gender? | Bible general Archive 4 | biblicalman | 228871 | ||
Hi Etta, Welcome to the forum. The Bible actually says nothing about gender in angels, but always speaks of them as 'he'. What we do know is that they neither marry nor are given in marriage (Matt 22.30). But as they are spirit beings that is not surprising. It does, however, suggest that they do not spcifically split up into couples (except when acting as witnesses). However, we would be unwise to dogmatise over what they can do when they come in the form of men. Clearly good angels would be true to their status. But some believe that the 'angels who kept not their first estate' (Jude 6) were fallen angels who consorted with women in the time of Noah. That is not impossible, for in the Old Testament 'sons of the elohim (God)' always refers to angels. They may even have been cases of demonic intercourse. This woud explain why God had to destroy all of mankind because their women had become tainted. Best wishes |

Hi, The Rahab mentioned by Job was a female chaos monster sometimes used to describe nations (Is 30.7 (Egypt a helpless monster); Psalm 87.4 - Egypt). I am not so sure that Job can be dated so precisely. I would be interested in your evidence. Best wishes. |

174 | you reap what you sew, meaning | Gal 6:7 | biblicalman | 228866 | ||
hi welcome to the forum. The idea is taken from Gal 6.7 ff. It concerns our attitude of heart and our resulting response and the consequence of them in our eternal destiny. Those who sow to the flesh, that is those who live for the things of this world, and who consequently do not truly respond to Christ, will as a consequence reap corruption and destruction. Those who sow to the Spirit, that is those who truly respond to Christ and receive the Holy Spirit so that He might direct their lives, and who consquently come to know Christ better and do good (verse 9) will reap eternal life. Best wishes |

177 | were old testiments years same as today | Bible general Archive 4 | biblicalman | 228842 | ||
hi welcome to the forum the ancients tended to see time in periods of the moon from new moon to new moon (28-29 days). 12 moon periods made up a year. but every three years or so they would add in an intercalary moon period so as to keep the seasons in sync. often when making calculations they would see a moon period as being 30 days. But this was only a covenience. Thus forty two moon periods would be seen as 1260 days even though in fact being somewhat less. There is, however, slight evidence of a 365 day year in Palestine. But it was not common. Most people stuck to the method I have outlined above, and that was the basis on which life went on. (Most people could not calculate, or count beyond ten) Best wishes |

180 | What is the "WORD OF KNOWLEDGE"? | 1 Cor 13:2 | biblicalman | 228829 | ||
As you would expect there are differing views on this question. Some from 1 Cor 13.2 would see it as a special knowledge concerning spiritual things. This was especially important when there was no New Testament. Compare Col 1.9; Eph 1.17; although with the gift the knowledge would be especially heightened. On the other hand we might see this as the gift of wisdom. Others, because the gift of revelation (1 Co 14.26) is not mentioned would see it as the gift of receiving knowledge about events through revelation, the kind of gift enjoyed by Agabus (Acts 11.28) and Peter (Act 5.1 ff).. In my view the choice lies between these two. |
