181 | Radioman - What did God say in Exo 6:3? | Gen 17:1 | Radioman2 | 78917 | ||
Tim: I have the highest respect, as well as admiration, for you -- for the courtesy, honesty, impartiality and scholarship that characterize your postings. Your thoughts on the topic under discussion are appreciated. In addition, please consider the following. The name YHWH is used approximately 169 times in the book of Genesis alone. Yet some take the position that no one ever heard of it or used it until the time of Moses. The name YHWH appears nearly 7,000 times in the OT. Yet it is said that it is just another one of many names and titles. That it has no particular siginicance. That there is nothing to distinguish it from all the other names and titles of God. God did not announce his name YHWH until Exodus? He announced it to Abram. Genesis 15:7-8 (ESV) And he (God) said to him (Abram), "I am the LORD (Hebrew YHWH) who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess." [8] But he said, "O LORD (Hebrew YHWH) GOD, how am I to know that I shall possess it?" He announced it to Hagar, Sarai's maid. Genesis 16:11 (ESV) And the angel of the Lord said to her, "Behold, you are pregnant and shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD (Hebrew YHWH) has listened to your affliction." |

CHICK PUBLICATIONS? "Chick Publications has, since its inception, been a bit sensationalistic at times. We do not believe that their approach is the best to use in presenting the gospel. For example, in a number of their volumes in The Crusaders comic series, they use John Todd as an authority on witchcraft and related subjects, and Todd has been proved to be a “teller of tales” (to put it mildly). "Also, the volume entitled Sabotage, where the King James Version is purported to be the only accurate translation -- all others being Roman Catholic perversions -- is also inaccurate and unreliable. "Furthermore, the two issues entitled Alberto and Double Cross are historically inaccurate, unreliable in content, and unchristian in approach. "So, we do not endorse or promote Chick Publications. ...based on the above observations as well as on the whole, we do not feel they are a reliable tool."

fran1947: Welcome to the Forum. You write: "It is not important if we do not or cannot remember the different names of God." Please consider the following: 'The God of Israel was known by many different names, titles, and epithets. God's particular names derive both from his revealing his attributes and character to Israel and from Israel's response to him. However, alongside this wealth of names and epithets in the Bible, the concept of God's "Name" itself plays an important role. In the Bible God reveals his Name, puts his Name in a place, causes places to bear his Name, protects by the power of his Name, and Acts for the sake of his Name. People call on, pronounce blessings, minister, preach, speak, pray, believe, take oaths, and wage war in his Name. They may revere, fear, suffer for, blaspheme, misuse, be called by, be kept by, or build a temple for the Name.' (God, Name of, Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology.

'Names are more than labels. In Old Testament times a name expressed identification, but also identity. Significant meaning often attached to a name. Names had an explanatory function (cf. Abigail's explanation about her husband, "He is just like his name — his name is Fool" [1 Sam 25:25]). Name changes were important, since a message attached to the name. Abram (great father) became Abraham (father of a multitude) (Gen 17:5; 32:28). In some sense a name was the expression of an inmost reality. 'Scripture makes much of the name for deity because in the name lies a theology. "I am the LORD, that is my name!" (Isa 42:8; cf. Exod 15:3). The name of God is a surrogate for God himself (Psalm 54:1; Prov 18:10; Jer 23:27). To give attention to the name (i.e., to God himself) is to put oneself in the place of blessing (Mal 3:16).'

NASB Acts 16:31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." "and your household." These words must be connected with "believe" as well as "be saved." Each member of the household must believe in order to be saved. |

192 | Must Christians keep the Sabbath today? | Ex 20:8 | Radioman2 | 83343 | ||
"Sunday has not replaced Saturday as the Sabbath." ____________________ 'Are the Sabbath laws binding on Christians today?' 'We believe the Old Testament regulations governing Sabbath observances are ceremonial, not moral, aspects of the law. As such, they are no longer in force, but have passed away along with the sacrificial system, the Levitical priesthood, and all other aspects of Moses' law that prefigured Christ. . . . Here are the reasons we hold this view. 'In Colossians 2:16-17, Paul explicitly refers to the Sabbath as a shadow of Christ, which is no longer binding since the substance (Christ) has come. It is quite clear in those verses that the weekly Sabbath is in view. The phrase "a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day" refers to the annual, monthly, and weekly holy days of the Jewish calendar (cf. 1 Chronicles 23:31; 2 Chronicles 2:4; 31:3; Ezekiel 45:17; Hosea 2:11). If Paul were referring to special ceremonial dates of rest in that passage, why would he have used the word "Sabbath?" He had already mentioned the ceremonial dates when he spoke of festivals and new moons. 'The Sabbath was the sign to Israel of the Mosaic Covenant (Exodus 31:16-17; Ezekiel 20:12; Nehemiah 9:14). Since we are now under the New Covenant (Hebrews 8), we are no longer required to observe the sign of the Mosaic Covenant. 'The New Testament never commands Christians to observe the Sabbath. 'In our only glimpse of an early church worship service in the New Testament, the church met on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7). 'Nowhere in the Old Testament are the Gentile nations commanded to observe the Sabbath or condemned for failing to do so. That is certainly strange if Sabbath observance were meant to be an eternal moral principle. 'There is no evidence in the Bible of anyone keeping the Sabbath before the time of Moses, nor are there any commands in the Bible to keep the Sabbath before the giving of the law at Mt. Sinai. 'When the Apostles met at the Jerusalem council (Acts 15), they did not impose Sabbath keeping on the Gentile believers. 'The apostle Paul warned the Gentiles about many different sins in his epistles, but breaking the Sabbath was never one of them. 'In Galatians 4:10-11, Paul rebukes the Galatians for thinking God expected them to observe special days (including the Sabbath). 'In Romans 14:5, Paul forbids those who observe the Sabbath (these were no doubt Jewish believers) to condemn those who do not (Gentile believers). 'The early church fathers, from Ignatius to Augustine, taught that the Old Testament Sabbath had been abolished and that the first day of the week (Sunday) was the day when Christians should meet for worship (contrary to the claim of many seventh-day sabbatarians who claim that Sunday worship was not instituted until the fourth century). 'Sunday has not replaced Saturday as the Sabbath. Rather the Lord's Day is a time when believers gather to commemorate His resurrection, which occurred on the first day of the week. Every day to the believer is one of Sabbath rest, since we have ceased from our spiritual labor and are resting in the salvation of the Lord (Hebrews 4:9-11). 'So while we still follow the pattern of designating one day of the week a day for the Lord's people to gather in worship, we do not refer to this as "the Sabbath."' (www.gty.org) |

Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit. We are not sealed by keeping the commandments. Are we saved by loving Jesus? No, we are not. Love for Jesus is the result, not the cause of salvation. --Radioman2 |

Sabbath believed to be "the seal of the living God". 'The seventh day of the week is the eternal sign of Christ’s power as Creator and Redeemer, and is therefore the Lord’s day, or the Christian Sabbath, constituting the seal of the living God. It should be observed from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday. (Gen. 2:1-3; Ex. 16:23-31; 20:8-11; John 1:1-3, 14; Eze. 20:12, 20; Mark 1:21-32; 2:27, 28; Isa. 58:13; Luke 4:16; 23:54-56; 24:1; Acts 17:2; Heb. 4:9-11; Isa. 66:22, 23; Lev. 23:32.)'

Hank: Beginning sentences with a capital letter and ending them with a period, question mark or exclamation point would add some class to this old forum. Also, I assume only 1 percent of the Forum population has access to an online dictionary or spell checker. (I have no one in particular in mind.

For that matter, why have Sunday School or preaching in the church? After all, arent' the teachers and preachers merely fallible humans? Why not have the preacher read a passage from the Bible and then just sit down and be quiet? The only difference between preaching and books is that one is spoken and the other is written. I.e., books are merely the printed words of people. Grace to you, Radioman2 |
