161 | why did GOD allow Jephthah killed | Judg 11:36 | ebrain | 179744 | ||
You say "Beware of mystical and ingenious refinement; do not aim to spiritualize every passage. Real spirituality and fanciful spirituality are different things. The former is real, deep, sublime, and satisfactory, the latter is ideal, shallow, specious and delusive. "Seek the literal before the spiritual meaning." Please give me the literal meaning, and then the spiritual meaning of the Scripture passage in question., and then read my description of "Speculation", below, and the tell me if you feel that the spititual meaning I gave satisfies the all 4 points. Specualtion can be good, or bad, it can bless, or introduce error. If, Speculation is to be of any value must satisfy certain criteria. 1. It must honor the Lord our God, and cause people to praise, and glorify His Holy Name. 2. It must honor the person, and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. 3. It must be in agreement with all the other verses of Scripture that have something to say on that subject. 4. It must be of benefit to believers, and enable them to be more Christ like. If it does in fact satisfy all the above, then I think it is worth considering. |

164 | Why did Lot "sit in the gate" in Sodom | Ruth 4:1 | ebrain | 163799 | ||
At that time the city gate was the location where the Elders, and Judges sat, see Ruth Ch 4 verses 1-6, this will give you the picture. Lot being a respected member of the comunity was therefore included with thoes who sat in the gate. It was a place of authority, and judgment, rather like a courthouse in our society. In Matthew 16:18, "and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it", here Jesus is saying that all the power that satan has will not prevail against the church. |

168 | Context versus what is translated. | 1 Sam 25:22 | ebrain | 165037 | ||
I have been told that LXX was available at least 250 years B.C. I do not know of any English Translation before adout the middle of the 2nd Centuary A.D, in outher words at least 1700 years plus years after LXX was in existance. You refer to the Jewish Scriptures, whereas LXX is a Greek Translation of the Hebrew?. |

171 | doesn't god know all there is to know? | Ps 48:10 | ebrain | 178925 | ||
Hi rckeel. God, trying a person, or putting him to the test is for the man's benifit, and not for God's benifit who knows the outcome anyway 2 Cron 32:31. Howbeit in [the business of] the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire of the wonder that was [done] in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all [that was] in his heart Genesis 22:12. And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son] from me. For whose benifit was this I wonder? Hebrews 4:12. For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart Reading the Word of God reveals to me, the thoughts and intents of my heart, God knows allready, but when I read His book, then I discover my true motive. 1 Cor 10:13. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it]. Why is He putting you to the test, His benifit, or yours. May the Lord bless you, and keep you safe. Edwin. |

173 | Whats is God's Name? | Ps 83:18 | ebrain | 181944 | ||
Further to my last post The Lord our God does not have a name in the sense that we have names, in order to identify/distinguish ourselves from one another. There is only one God, and for this reason no need for Him to have a name, as there is no other god with whom He might be confused. What is given in Scripture is a number of different descriptions of, His Nature, His ability, His capacity, etc, etc, What type/sort of Person He is. At Gen Ch 3 v 13. Moses said If they ask me "What is His name" what shall I say to them? The reply he received was not a name but a description. "I AM" which can also be rendered as "The perpetually self revealing all existent one". One more example, take the description EL SHADDAI, God Almighty, or "God All Sufficient", which is found 48 times in the OT. This is a compound title, made up of ELOHIM meaning the strong one who gives strength/nourishment, and the Hebrew word Shad which refers to the Female Breast. What the Lord is saying here is "I love you with the very special tender loving care that a nursing mother feels for the infant that she is breast feeding". May the Lord bless you, and keep you safe. Edwin. (ebrain) |

174 | 1 Samuel 15:3 - a loving God? | Ps 115:3 | ebrain | 161980 | ||
Do you feel the same about the Flood, or the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah or the Great Tribulation still to come? How can you loose your faith, when He who made you, laid down His life for you, and did not use one iota of his limitless power to avoid death by one of the most excruciatingly painfull death's known to man?. You may not understand why He did what He did at the verse you quote, but how can you doubt a Person of such unshakeable integrity, as the one who went through what He went through to to save you from Eternal Hell? |

All that our Lord is saying here, is the same as, "All have sinned, and fall short of the Glory of God". All men including the writer of this post, whether married, or single, whether saved, or unsaved look upon women to lust after them, Just as all women look upon men to lust after them also. What is more all of you know that this to be true. ebrain. |

Mat 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. Hi Mark. What really matters is what did Jesue have in mind when He used the word "Lust", it is clear from Matthew 5:28, above that He ment that state of mind in a man which leads to "Adultery" The question therefore, is not what the Greek word might, or might not mean, but what Jesus intended it to mean. Bless you brother. ebrain. |

Steve. Please read my post to Mark, four above yours sent at 7.56 am to-day. You will see that I don't need a Greek dictionary/lexicon, only common sense. Now, please tell me that my post to Mark is wrong, and why. ebrain. |

180 | Mat 5:27-28. Adultery. | Prov 5:1 | ebrain | 178629 | ||
How do you know what word Jesus used, as He was more than likely speaking in Aramic, or Hebrew. The Greek translation was only used for the publication of the NT, as at that time more people spoke Greek than any other language. To say that Jesus used a word that did not really mean what He had in mind is an insult to Him, and offensive to me. ebrain. |
