182 | Heb. 6:4-6 Security | Gen 1:1 | Val | 219814 | ||
In the Colossians 1:21-23 passage the 23rd verse says "if you continue" in the faith. This verse does not mean that continuing in the faith is what saves you. It means that the proof of your salvation is continuing in the faith. Paul explains that salvation is by grace alone through faith. Adding this verse to grace would be adding something else, in this case;works. I looked up the Galatians passage but do not see your point from this passage. The Hebrews 3:6, 14 again speaks of the proof of salvation; not the means of salvation. Whichever phrase one uses should not matter. Perseverance of the Saints, Once Saved Always Saved. The same conclusion is reached. Both teach that salvation cannot be lost. It is not new Christians that hold to these passages that they believe salvation can be lost; it is entire denominations. One comes to mind is the Nazarenes. There is a comedian in the south. A christian comedian and she says her cousin has been lost and saved a dozen times. On the other side there are those who may have assurance of salvation from man but not from God. Therefore the terminology is not the problem, it is man. |

183 | Heb. 6:4-6 Security | Gen 1:1 | Val | 219842 | ||
Scripture is always interpreted in light of the whole counsel of God, the whole 66 books of the bible. The language in these verses does not support that the "those" in these verses were saved. It does not use the words which describe a saved person such as justified, righteous. |

185 | modes in aiding meditation | Gen 1:26 | Val | 200417 | ||
It sounds like new age Azure. I would urge her to stick to memorization of scripture and journaling. Painting and drawing sounds ok. I don't know about talking to trees and nature. Sounds like pantheism to me. We certainly can pray and thank God for the trees and nature but talk to him not the creature. Hope this helps. Blessings Val | ||||||

188 | CREATION,GARDEN OF EDEN OR ADAM FIRST | Gen 2:8 | Val | 190878 | ||
Genesis 1 tells you what God made on each day. Notice the fifth day ended at verse 23. Then the sixth day begins at verse 24 ending at verse 31. On the sixth day it says He made (verse 24) living creatures after their kind, cattle, and so on, (verse 26) He made man He made food for man and creatures on the third day - see Verses 9-13. Chapter One is a big picture of what the Lord created and then Chapter Two goes into the details. |

191 | Why was God unhappy with Cains offering? | Gen 4:5 | Val | 206015 | ||
Cain did not submit to God's leadership. He wanted to come to God his way. We must come to God, God's way. God saw Cain's heart and was and is able to judge rightly something that you and I cannot do. Only God can judge a person's motives because He can see inside our minds. He knows what we are thinking all the time and why we do the things we do. He is the only one able to give a just judgement. We also see death of an animal. This shows the need for a blood sacrifice. That there is no forgiveness without blood. It shows the awfulness of sin. That Cain's sin was so hurtful to God that because he still wanted a relationship with man, and because of God's holiness for man to be cleansed there had to be a death because forgiveness is in the blood. A poor little lamb had to be sacrificed for sin. It is a picture of our Lord Jesus Christ who gave the perfect, supreme sacrifice. He is the lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world. We need to have a right heart attitude and accept this sacrifice by putting our faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. Abel apparently understood and submitted to God whereas Cain did not and was in rebellion showed by his offering of vegetables. People today are much like this. We think we can come to God in any way we chose. We cannot. There is only one way to God. That is through his Son and His finished work on the cross. We are covered by His blood for the remission of our sins when we submit and bow the knee to Him as our Lord and Saviour. 1 John 3:12 not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother's were righteous. Jude 1:11 Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of Korah. Blessings, Val |

192 | God's Regard for Cain's Offering? | Gen 4:5 | Val | 206027 | ||
At the time of Cain and Abel the sacrificial system had not been made as the covenant given to Moses I believe, had not been given. Through the study of the whole counsel of God, it is assumed that was the way to come to God. Your right an animal does not save us. What saves us is belief in Christ. I don't know how to explain it any better. I know that we are to obey God. If we believe in Him we will obey him. Somehow this sacrifice had to be blood. We see this in the Mosiac covenant as a sin sacrifice. This was before that. So it is assumed. Hebrews explains a lot about this system and how it pointed to Christ and His better covenant. As you can see from the verse about Cain being evil, that is why I am saying he did not obey and trust God. I have to look at all the bible to rightly divide it. Not that I fully understand it all but this is what I have learned so far. A study of both covenants would help you understanding it better. I am still studying it, don't know it all. Blessings, Val |

193 | what does sons of God refer to. | Gen 6:2 | Val | 215333 | ||
Dear Shane, there are two views; one is that they were angels. The other view is that they were men. I tend to agree with the second view because when the Pharisees asked Jesus about heaven and a hypothetical question about a women who had several husbands whose wife she would be in heaven. He said there was no marriage in heaven as there was in earth and we would be like the angels. This verse is what is called a difficult verse and since there is no cross reference to explain it we just leave it at that. Some wise person once said of the bible; the plain things are the main things and the main things are the plain things. Sincerely, Val |

194 | age limit of 120 years after Noah's sons | Gen 6:3 | Val | 213663 | ||
Dear MJH: I looked up this verse and instead of abide it says strive. I have always heard this verse used with the convicting of God's spirit upon sin. Also that if one turns away from God when this convicting occurs that the persons heart becomes harder and harder so that he does not sense that conviction thus stays in his sin. We know that the flood came when Noah finished building the ark. I am thinking God gave them longer than 120 years before the flood. Reading Genesis 6 it says that all men were corrupt except Noah. God pronounced judgement on them and saved Noah. I interpret it to mean man would get 120 years instead of the hundreds he had previously and it was a gradual shortening of years. I am wondering if we are supposed to live to 120 on an average? Isn't the average now about 80? Sincerely, Val | ||||||

196 | destruction of earth | Gen 8:21 | Val | 219843 | ||
The Lord Jesus tells us in Matthew 24:6 and 7 And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of war; see that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. Matthew 24:44-51 |

You and you son can take a concordance and look up the word God and in every verse where the word God is used, turn to that verse in the bible. You with your son read the verse and the verses surrounding that verse asking the question who is talking, who is He talking to, where is He, why does He say this, what will be the results, how does this occur. Ask these type questions of the text and ask if there are any lessons for your life. Also most important pray with your son first then look up a verse. Make it a goal to complete one verse a day. | ||||||

200 | becoming slaves? | Gen 15:13 | Val | 198206 | ||
Gen 15:13 God said to Abram, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved and oppressed four hundred years. 35 Gen 15:18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your descendants I have given this land, From the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates: The account of Abram, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph in regards to the covenant God made with them is one that shows how God was faithful to them and remains faithful today. A character study on each of these men provides great insight into the relationship God has with those whom He keeps covenant. Happy New Year's Michael. |
