161 | God's anger at Babel tower, why? | Genesis | itiswritten | 77398 | ||
Dear cjmpoet, Well, for one thing in Genesis 11:1-3 we see that the people all had one language and they united in rebellion against the mandate of God. God had told them from the time after the flood that they should multiply and spread out over all the earth [Genesis 9:1]. Here they specifically are written down as saying "Let us build a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make a name for ourselves lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the earth." [Gen. 11:4] 1. They decided they would penetrate heaven by their physical power and will - not by any spiritual means. 2. They were full of pride in their accomplishments thus far and in their rebellion was also lofty ambition, and 3. They were deliberately aware that God had told them to spread abroad and they deliberately intended to do no such thing in their quest. It seems to me that the Lord had more than one reason to be angry and why He intended to stop them in their tracks. It had not been very long since the Flood. He had promised not to destroy everything as He had done before and I believe this discipline was necessary to preserve mankind on the earth and keep it from being entirely corrupted again. If man were separated into different cultures and languages it would be easier to isolate evil and destroy it without the effect being on the entire earth and population in the future. Anyway, this is my opinion according to the Scriptures as I understand them. I hope this will be a help to you or someone. Itiswritten. |

162 | Having problems with my faith. | Genesis | itiswritten | 77405 | ||
Dear Chynna, I understand where you are coming from. I personally have had a few cats as pets and I really love them. I have lived in apartments and cats are often allowed as they can stay indoors. I have learned to understand their body language and though each one was very different personality-wise, when you take the time to understand them they are marvelous creatures as I am sure dogs, horses, rabbits and all other pets are to those with whom they live... But you must remember we are made in His image. I believe this has to do with the fact that we are aware of Him and seek to worship our Creator, whereas animals do not seem to have this awareness. However, our pets definitely have a soul and that means they have very individual personalities. They love unconditionally and return that affection if they are loved. They become very precious to the observant "master" and can become very much bonded to us. I have had a few pets myself and I love them almost as much as my children. If I had to choose the life of my child over my pet...it would be grievious to me but I would have to choose my child. Do you see what I mean? From what I understand we have a body, they have a body; we have a soul, they have a soul; we have a spirit which is able to be united to God, I don't know that they possess this and I believe that the spirit is what makes us eternal beings. I don't really know that they don't but the Word of God is silent on this as far as I can tell. I believe from the time of the creation, mankind was to care for the creatures God created which is hinted at by God allowing Adam to name all of them. God however reserved nameing the stars for Himself. Mankind, having this responsiblity, was not to harm them but to care for them, for their good. After the flood, because of the altered conditions [probably spiritually as well as physically] on the earth, animals began to fear man because animals were now our prey as well as the other way around.[Genesis 9:2] But that had not been God's original plan. And, in Isaiah 11:6, the prophet tells us that when Christ returns, the relationship between mankind and the rest of God's creatures will be restored to what it was meant to be in the Garden of Eden. What exactly life will be like for us in heaven, I do not really know. I only trust that it will be wonderful and that God being just will treat the rest of creation justly and with mercy as well. The word of God tells us that He will swallow up death and take all the tears from our faces in Isaiah 25: 7-8. I hope this is of some help to you or anyone else that may read this. Itiswritten. |

Dear skip, Your problem is that you do not understand the Old Testament Scriptures and/or have a full understanding of your salvation. When you look at Genesis 1 and 2 you see creation as God had intended. His crowning glory was man. Man was at peace with all of creation and God also gave him a woman...a wife, so to speak, a helpmate. Every man, woman and child that has ever been born into this earth was in the genes of these two persons and they fell from grace. God had warned and tested the free will He gave them by saying they were free to eat the fruit of every tree of the garden EXCEPT for ONE. They disobeyed. Since we were all in their genes, we all fell and are part of that sinful nature. It is born in us all. This is evidenced in the very next story of Cain and Abel, it is evidenced in the story of Lamuel, it is evidenced in the tower of babel and it is evidenced in the story of Noah and the ark. But right from the beginning, God began to teach man about what it takes to cover sin and about what constitutes life. "The life is in the blood" (Gen.9:4, Lev. 17:11) As soon as Adam and Eve sinned, they covered themselves out of guilt and shame - but that was not acceptable to God. No, He covered them with animal skins. This means that the animal had to die to cover them. It required its blood as a substitute for their blood. The blood is all important. That is why Jesus had to die and shed his blood. Even though they were under a curse (Genesis 3) God immediately gives them hope in Genesis 3:15 with the promise of the seed of the woman who would be the perfect substitute. They did not understand then, but it was about the God-man, the Messiah, the Christ, God with us, Immanuel...the one and only perfect sacrifice who would shed his blood once for all time and be that substitute. Meanwhile, God did not institute slavery, polygamy or war...man in his fallen nature did that all by himself. And why did God destroy so many nations? In I Cor. 5:5-6 we see that a little leaven destroys the whole lump. Sin is that way. When God sent the Israelites into the Promised land, He did so only at a time when the Canaanites were fully ripe in idolatry and violence. He did not want them to be contaminated with it. They, because of their own disobedience, ever really destroyed them all and they DID become contaminated with the idolatry of those nations. If you go back to the beginning that is what God was doing with the Flood, and with the tower of babel. He separated us by languages and different cultures, mountains and rivers when he caused man in is many languages to flee from one another, because outside of obedience to Him, it would only make our rebellion and our cruelty all the more powerful if we could do this in unity. (read Genesis 11). Yes, His holy temple became a slaughterhouse. The reason for this is so we would recognize the stench of OUR SIN. If we did not sin, this would not have been required. Oh there is so much more. Suffice to say, the blood is the most important thing about our whole faith...the Blood of Jesus Christ and the entire Bible, Old Testament and New is all about the Blood that bought our eternal life. I hope this is helpful. Itiswritten. |

Dear Free Thinker, You sound so angry. This is not a debate and it is not exactly what you imagine. God loves you and Jesus His Son died for you.I cannot defend God, He is able to defend Himself. I will try to explain better and you do with it what you will. In order for mankind to have a free will...he had to be able to freely choose. Otherwise mankind would be robot-like and God apparently wanted more for us. It is not a matter of good deeds/bad deeds. And in fact our good deeds, even if they outweigh our bad deeds, do not fix our problem. The inherited twisted, sin-loving nature is the problem that we inherited. It is not like well, our Daddy murdered someone and we are taking the blame for his actions. It is a matter of an apple tree only naturally bears apples (unless we unnaturally graft in the bough of a pear tree). So, humans can only be made up of a nature that delights in sin because that is the ingredients we are made of. We still have a free will, but we do not have a remedy for our ingredients. You know, originally Eve fell for the libelous lie of the Devil who accused God of withholding something good from her and if she ate of that which God was withholding, she would be a threat to God and be as knowledgable as He was. (Gen. 3:4-5). Be careful you are not falling for the same kind of lie. God, the Father could have destroyed the initial couple and started all over again but He chose to redeem us all. He redeemed us at a great deal of cost to Himself...His only begotten Son. I don't know if you are a person who is married and has children but if you are or if you have any understanding of the nature of little children, you would know that they are consciously quite innocent even though they may do some really outrageous things. That is what often endears us to them. They love to say "no" to everything we tell them, they lie about the candy with chocolate all over their faces, they take everything in sight and think they are entitled to it all. Yet, all these little antics are wrong...we are twisted, perverted, from the beginning. It is our sin nature appearing as soon as we are able to do independent acts. As soon as we know what sin or evil is, that does not stop us. We actually get worse. This is not because of something an ancestor did. It is our own doing. We can choose not to do these acts, but by the time we can make that choice we find we have already done wrong and even though we make that choice, we can not hold to it perfectly. So, in the end, we are responsible...no longer Adam and Eve. Rom. 3:10-18). And Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the light. No one comes to the Father but through Me." (John 14:6)Like it or not, understand it or not, Jesus is it...the one and only remedy. We can choose to take it or leave it because our free will still remains intact. There are answers to all of your questions in the Bible if you would only read it with an open mind and ask the Holy Spirit to open your understanding. In His Word God tells us that we will find Him if we seek Him with our whole heart. If you really want the truth, God will not withhold it from you, but if you like a good argument you will forever be arguing never coming to a place of settled satisfaction. Concerning the episode with Noah getting drunk after the flood. This is just my thoughts and observations because the Bible in NO WAY SAYS what I am about to give you as food for thought but these are my thoughts because I know the Lord and I have pondered this particular question with my personal understanding of my Savior and so these are some of the conclusions that I have come to on this topic in my own mind. I believe that the earth had a different atmosphere before the flood. We can tell from what the Bible tells us that mankind originally was vegetarian and the Bible tells us that mankind also lived a longer life. I believe that the earth had a different atmosphere and that the produce of the ground had more nutrients prior to the flood. And so, after the flood there may have been changes in the atmosphere and changes in the nutrients of the vegetation and so mankind's life was shorter and now it was necessary to eat meat also to obtain enough protien to sustain healthy life. There is no sense that God was upset with Noah for getting drunk, neither is there any sense that Noah did this on purpose. It is quite possible that fermentation was not possible prior to the flood.It may never have rained previoiusly but was watered by a mist (Gen.2:6). We do not come to God by our understanding; we come to Him by faith and He will then give us understanding. He does not condemn us, we will condemn ourselves. Seek Him with your whole heart and you WILL FIND HIM. Sincerely, Itiswritten |

Dear Freethinker, Sorry, I was away for a few days and just received your response in my e-mail. You do challenge me to want to be able to explain the wonderful things that the Lord has shown me through the years that have answered so many of my questions. First of all, there was not enough space before to answer some of the things that are tugging on your heart. For instance the concept that Adam and Eve were cave men so to speak. The Bible does not teach us that you know. Actually, think about it. Don't you think that the two first people made by the direct touch of the hand of Almighty God would be quite unique and perfect specimins? I look at it this way. The further away mankind has digressed from God's way, the more he has (in some instances) sunk to the state of cave man. Look at the civilization of Egypt and look at the Dark Ages in Europe. I believe the concept that we are evolving into something better on our own is really not biblical. It seems to me that we digress the further away we go from God's original plan for mankind. We are digressing not progressing. If a great civilization takes a catastrophic blow, those who escape, usually are unable to continue. For instance, imagine for a moment that a meteor hit the United States...that it was enough to only destroy our's and western society as we know it and a small population escaped. With technology destroyed, we may remember it and maybe some of the more educated would know how to use things but they would live among the ruins unable to duplicate it. The next generation would grow up having lost the technology. Do you see what I mean? I couldn't actually build a car, but I can drive one. I couldn't outfit a whole hospital, stock it and staff it, but I have used them. I couldn't set up a TV or radio station, but I am familiar and actually depend on them. Yet, even in our modern age there are some civilizations that have become as backward as cave men. We are capable of becoming that low but I don't think man, without the help of God, can ever stop destroying, making war and causing trouble in this world. If you set up a kind dictator to establish order for a nation in trouble, for that initial generation, things may go well. However, eventually someone will come into power that will misuse the privilege and be indifferent to the common man or downright cruel for his own benefit. History shows us that we can count on that. The Bible does not condone or encourage situations such as slavery. However, the Bible tells it like it is and they were a fact of life at the time of the Biblical writings. In fact, slavery still does exist is some areas of the world today. Concerning the Smart girl I would say, it was not a lack of grace or faith that she was taken in the first place. It was because of the sin of the man who kidnapped her. God has not taken away his free will to do right or to do wrong. Have you never seen instances in the Bible where good God-fearing persons have been wronged by those who practice evil. However, the Bible teaches us that even so, Romans 8:28 applies here which says: "And we kbow that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are the called according to His purpose." So, I believe that God will use this experience that the young Smart girl has come through for the greater good of her and probably all those around her. One last thing. Becoming an atheist because of the shortcoming of any amount of persons should not be the case. This is about you and your God. It should be between you and your God. In this world you will find no perfect human...not even among church leaders. I pray that through this forum or any other way that the Lord sees fit, that you come across someone who lets the Lord truly shine through them that you may really see God working in love, despite the faults they will have. Only God is perfect, and what you may be searching for can be found only in Him. I wish you well, and will keep you ever in my prayers. Itiswritten. |

168 | Shamayim - why heavens, not two heavens | Gen 1:1 | itiswritten | 29248 | ||
Dear Short, I am not a Hebrew buff, but, in case you are interested, there is a Scripture ... In 2 Corinthians 12:2-4, where Paul speaks about the third heaven. I don't know if there are levels of heaven or different heavens or parts of heaven but it is best to stick to Scripture and not speculation, so, here goes: "I knew a man in Christ, above 14 years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one was caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter." I don't know if this is of any help but I just thought you might like to look at this scripture and pray about it. The Lord may give you some better understanding if you read this and the verses around it. -itiswritten |

169 | How does God speak to us? | Gen 1:1 | itiswritten | 29250 | ||
God speaks to us in a still, small voice [inside], He also speaks to us through His Word, or, He may speak to us through just about anything. One thing to remember, though, you need to read and study His Word well because the devil or our own desires can be mistaken for God speaking to us. In these days when psychics are in abundance, we need to know the difference. Most psychics are just charletons...however, some may be those who are possessed by a familiar spirit. They operate through the soul. God speaks to us through our spirit, where His Spirit dwells. The Word of God gives us the ability to discern what is from our soul and what is from our spirit. 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 joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Also, God will not contradict His Word and so that is also a way of knowing where that voice may be coming from. By God's Word we can test the spirits, ministries, and any messages we believe we have received from Him. I hope this is helpful. | ||||||
170 | How does God speak to us? | Gen 1:1 | itiswritten | 29292 | ||
Dear Lionstrong, I found that God sometimes speaks to us in a still small voice from experience and from 1 Kings 19: 11-18 ...in these verses of Scripture, Elijah had such an experience: "And he [God] said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD, and behold, the LORD passed by and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: and after the earthquake, a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest there, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts: ...and Elijah continued his conversation with the Lord... As far as "inside" all I can say, sometimes it seems to be from inside. The Holy Spirit is inside the believer. It seems to be inside but not from your own self...something you would not think to say or say in that way and it must not contradict Scripture...that's why we need to know the Word so we can tell if it is truly God. It is a still voice because it is not hurrying, or emphatic as though you would not have time to think...God is never rushed and His way is peace and He doesn't have to yell to communicate authority. That's what I mean. And, of course, He can speak to us in any number of other ways. I hope that answers you question alright. Sincerely, Itiswritten. |

171 | no sperm upon the ground | Gen 38:9 | itiswritten | 81044 | ||
Dear Kingbass, Genesis 38:8-10 is worded in essentially the same way in the King James Bible,a Protestant version, and also the NASB and the NIV. By the way, the Catholic version of the Bible is the same as the Protestant Bible except for the addition of the aprocrypha. It does not teach anything any differently.The word of God is not corrupted in any way. The Roman Catholic teaching departs from Protestant teaching in that many of the teachings in the catechism, for instance, are not directly from the Bible but from tradition or Papal decree.

174 | Medium summons Samuel? | 1 Sam 28:12 | itiswritten | 80028 | ||
First of all it was forbidden by God and against the law according to the kingdom, that anyone should call up the dead to speak with them. This offence was punishable by death. This is why the witch was so distraught when Samuel acutally appeared and was manifested. Somehow, at the same time, it was revealed to her that the man before her was the king - and this meant that she was uncovered as a witch before the ultimate prosecutor of the law. I do not believe that she was actually able to summon Samuel. I believe this was a deliberate act of God as the witch was very shocked (she cried out). It seems God was quite angry with Saul. First of all he had been appointed to uphold the law and lead the people and he was committing one of the ultimate crimes. And in this case, Samuel did act as he had for Saul before, to give him direction according to the word of God. In this case, the king and his family was cursed and he was told a terrible future. We are not to ask the specific future. Though He may give us a glimpse, we should not expect Him to unfold the details to us. We are supposed to trust Him day by day (Matthew 6:28-29) Saul, having been selected to lead the people and to uphold the law had failed miserably and I believe he was set at a higher standard according to his great calling and responsibility and God decided he would not continue in this important role, and neither would his descendants. These are my feelings on the topic. I will be interested to see what anyone else may think regarding this interesting moment in Scripture. Itiswritten. |

175 | What was the answer? | 1 Sam 28:12 | itiswritten | 80486 | ||
Dear Edb, Right from Genesis 1:26 we find that God gave man authority over all the earth and everything in it. Man was to be under the authority and in obedience to God. When man fell, this very act put him in obedience to Satan...this gave Satan authority. (Ephesians 2:2) In Matthew 4:1-11 we see that the devil tempted Jesus in the wilderness. If this was truly a temptation, then Satan had to have this authority. If this authority was not in Satan's possession, then Jesus could not have truly been tempted with it as is evident here. Jesus did not come under Satan however, but remained in obedience to His Father instead. Jesus died for us and rose again. He conquered through obedience to His Father. In that He has taken back authority but we yet have to see it all manifest though it is already an accomplished work. (I Cor. 15: 1-29). I hope this is helpful. Itiswritten |
||||||
176 | What was the answer? | 1 Sam 28:12 | itiswritten | 80577 | ||
Dear Edb, First of all let me say that I never said man had so called "spiritual authority" over anything. I simply gave scriptures which I believe show earthly authority, such as a man being head of a house or a patriarch being the tribal head...which are authoritative situations that are recognized worldwide. From as far back as Genesis 3:16 the husband was given authority over the woman as it ends with and "he shall rule over you." This was part of the curse, by the way. I never said that man or the devil had authority in any legal sense now but though it may not be legal, everything has not yet subjected itself under God as yet. Jesus now legally has all authority, but he took that authority by submitting Himself to the cross,and it is not yet all manifest, though it is won. I simply gave you an answer from what I believe to be true because of Scriptures I gave to support my thought process. I shall give you another: I Corinthians 15: 22-28 and explain this to me if I am wrong. Also, I ask you to have a look at Luke 9: 1-2;and I also ask you to have a look at Mark 16:14-20 where we were commanded to go into all the world and preach the gospel...in the authority of His name. Another thing to answer what you said about the animals. God gave man authority over them in the garden. Man was to name them and care for them and man enjoyed total peace and fellowship with all of God's creatures until after the Flood...much later. The animals then became afraid because they were now prey for us and many of them also became predatores and prey. But originally this was not so, and this was not the authority I was speaking of. I was speaking of the original authority given to Adam to name and to care for the garden and God's lesser creatures. Satan has no authority over myself or any other believer, but he makes havoc in the lives of those who do not believe in the only Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And he causes havoc using evil men who use legal or illegal authority over others in this world until Jesus returns and puts all enemies under His feet. Of course God has all power and authority, even over Satan. But in His great wisdom and mercy and patience, He allows evil to play out this great plan which allows free will and which will justify those who will yet be born and choose to come to Jesus the Christ, the only Lord and Savior. If this clarifies what I am trying to say to you, I hope this is so. If not do not give me archaeology or arguments that you make up to argue with someone's point. I make no argument. I am simply stating what I see the scriptures are saying. I never said God gave man spiritual authority in himself over anything. However, in Jesus name, believers DO have spiritual authority over even evil spirits. I still maintain...Satan is the prince and power of the air(Eph. 2:2)...I believe this denotes authority of some sort because it says he works in the children of disobedience. And I also maintain that Matthew 4: 1-11 shows us that he has some authority in this earth or he could not have really tempted Jesus in the wilderness. The whole episode would have to be considered a hoax if it were not in his hand to give Jesus the things he said he would give Him. Now, like I said earlier, Jesus won it back on the cross through His death and resurrection...but it has not yet all manifest, though it was won. |

178 | What about the chariot of fire? | 2 Kin 2:11 | itiswritten | 82989 | ||
Dear gate1, This is an interesting observation. It is incredible what most people believe when something is spoken of a certain way for so many years. As you say, it looks like Elijah went up in a whirlwind, only having been separated from Elisha by one of the Lord's horses and chariot. I do not think it matters particularly HOW he was taken out of this world except that he, just like Enoch before him (Genesis 5:22), left this world without dying and was taken directly out of this natural place. The main thing is that it did happen. However, there may be some small or individual reason for the minor details and I appreciate your observation and will keep this in my memory for future reference and to see what the Lord may speak to me now that you have pointed this out to me. If you look in and around the scripture, II Kings 6:17, you will see another instance where we see the fiery chariots and horses of Israel...seeming to be the angelic armies of Israel. In this instance they are observed by Elisha, again. This time there are many of them. In Ephesians 6:12 we are told that we do not fight against flesh and blood, "but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Now in this case we are speaking of the spiritual armies of the Adversary, but in the scriptures above, in II Kings, we are speaking of the armies of the Lord. In Matthew 8:5-8:13 we see the Gospel account of a Centurian who came to Jesus to ask Him to heal his servant. Jesus marveled at his faith and his keen observation that Jesus had spiritual authority over the heavenly hosts much in the same way as he, as a centurian, had authority in the worldly sense. Thank you for your observation and I hope my comments are helpful to you also. Itiswritten |

179 | Righteousness by faith NOT WORKS!!! | Ps 32:1 | itiswritten | 88681 | ||
Dear tj57h, Dear brother in Christ,I speak as another believer out there with Jesus on my own... please remember to read the book of James as it will help you keep a balance. It speaks of works...properly. We are saved by faith but works should be produced by one who believes. It is sort of like the man who said he could roll a barrel on a tight-rope over Niagra Falls. He looked down at the onlookers and said to one of them..."Do you believe I can do this?" And the onlooker said, "Yes!" And the tight-rope walker said, "Get in the barrel." The Scripture tells us "Faith without works is dead" (See James 2:18-20). We are not saved by our works. But we are saved FOR works. We are saved to do the works of God on this earth. Reading the whole book of James would balance out the walk of faith. This having nothing to do with religion or tradition. This is not a criticism, just a comment. Itiswritten. |
