201 | Book of Exodus | Ex 1:1 | Val | 213958 | ||
They were the descendants of Jacob also known as Israel. Joseph, Jacob's son, was sold into slavery and later found favor with Pharoah and was in charge of Pharoah's affairs. Abraham was called by God to a land flowing with milk and honey. He was also told of the 400 years bondage in Egypt. He was also told that God would bring his descendants out of Egypt. The main theme is that God made a covenant with Abraham to give him this land forever. Joseph and all of his brothers died in Egypt but the promise also known as covenant was for Abraham's descendants. God called Moses to lead them out of Egypt. We see that the people in bondage in Egypt knew their God as they cried out to Him in their affliction from the taskmasters and God sent word to them by Moses and his brother Aaron that He had heard them and was going to deliver them.

203 | Actual bodies in heaven? | 1 John 3:2 | Val | 213954 | ||
I believe the best example that we can look at is the resurrected body of Christ. In reading the four gospels you will see different things about His resurrectd body. That He could walk through walls. That the disciples could see and touch Him. Also, you may look at the mount of transfiguration in which you will see Elijah and Moses and the Lord talking. They were recognizable. You ask what is the significance of a body in heaven. Well simply that we may recognize each other and have a relationship with one another. This is why we so look forward to heaven is to enjoy our relationship with Christ and the belivers of the bible and our own families who have already gone on. It gives us hope. A sure hope that those relationships that we once had on earth will be renewed when we get to heaven. To me that is the greatest significance; to see my Lord and my family. Sincerely, Val | ||||||

Dear MJH, I would say heaven is our ultimate destination. I understand what you are saying however, since most of the physical church is not into bible study this one sentence brings about confusion to some. Sincerely, Val | ||||||
205 | Bingo! Gambleing! | 2 Tim 1:1 | Val | 213923 | ||
There is a verse that says something to the effect that there are some things that are not wrong but they are not profitable. It is written by Paul who compares the christian's walk as a race. One who runs in a race puts aside those things that would hinder his race. Many things come under this verse such as drinking, smoking, gambling, overeating, etc. Do a word study on profitable or read the epistles of the Apostle Paul. Sincerely, Val |

206 | Rapture | Rev 20:1 | Val | 213921 | ||
On Preceptaustin.org you will see the different approaches to interpreting Revelation. Enter Revelation 20 to see more information on this topic. There is also a list of commentators and their interpretive bends so that when someone uses that commentator you know what they lend towards. It is better to study the bible for yourself inductively than to go to what others say first about the bible because: One, you form your own opinion first, Second, you learn more, Third, you remember more, Fourth, you develop your study skils, Fifth, it is more rewarding. There is a good in depth study of Revelation at Precept.org. Sincerely, Val |

208 | wiping feet with hair? | Luke 7:40 | Val | 213826 | ||
I understand what you are saying however, we must remember that Christ could see the girl's heart. He could understand what was in her heart and her motive behind her actions. He states the purpose in the passage where He says she had been forgiven much and loved Him for this forgiveness. I think if you can understand how helpless and incapable to help ourselves in breaking sin's hold on our lives that when we see this free gift of Christ in the cross and how this same power of the Holy Spirit that raised Him from the dead is available to us today when we see it clearly our heart is overfilled with joy and happiness through tears. Do you remember the first time you saw this clearly and accepted Christ's gift of redemption for you? It is perhaps when we look back to that point in our lives that the joy of our salvation is fresh and new and the wonder of it all fills us with overwhelming joy inexpressable. Christ has given His all for us and when we see that we want to give our all to Him for His great love for us. He loves us more than any person has ever loved us. We do not know the details of her using her hair because the scriptures do not bring out that detail however we can see by her actions and the explanation it was her overwhelming joy and thankfulness and love for her Master that was her motive in what she did. Sincerely, Val | ||||||
209 | wiping feet with hair? | Luke 7:40 | Val | 213821 | ||
The passage is self-explanatory. When picking a single verse out of the bible it is necessary to read the context of the verse which means you read what goes before the verse and after the verse. Here we see the gratefulness of the women toward Lord Jesus who has forgiven her sins. The streets were dusty and upon entering a home it was the custom to wash the guest's feet. Luke 7:40 And Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." And he replied, "Say it, Teacher." Luke 7:41 "A moneylender had two debtors: one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. Luke 7:42 "When they were unable to repay, he graciously forgave them both. So which of them will love him more?" Luke 7:43 Simon answered and said, "I suppose the one whom he forgave more." And He said to him, "You have judged correctly." Luke 7:44 Turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. Luke 7:45 "You gave Me no kiss; but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet. Luke 7:46 "You did not anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume. Luke 7:47 "For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little." Luke 7:48 Then He said to her, "Your sins have been forgiven." |

Dear Beja, I believe faith grows. A genuine faith in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Let me give an example. Look at Lot and Abraham. Abraham was concerned you might say with the things of God. Lot on the other hand was concerned with the here and now yet Lot was a righteous man. Who had the "bigger" faith. I would say Abraham. Lot on the other hand had a lot of family and friend problems to the extend that they laughed at his faith. Sincerely, Val | ||||||

212 | Bearing His Name: Jehovah? | Acts 15:14 | Val | 213679 | ||
Dear Raffa; I think you are not seeing the big picture. Look at the book of Acts, what is it about? Is it not the beginning of the church? Who did God start the church with? Was it not His Son Jesus? Calling oneself by a name does not make that person right with God does it? What makes a person right with God in your thinking? Sincerely, Val | ||||||

214 | Woman in pants | Deut 22:5 | Val | 213664 | ||
Dear Kcab: I think the answer lies in the fact that this was a different culture than our culture. The dress code has changed where they make pantsuits that are very feminine nowadays. Deuteronomy was written by Moses and was part of the covenant God made with Israel. I am not familiar with the dress code of that day, i.e., what kind of clothes they made but it seems to me the overall message has to do with women acting/dressing like men and men acting/dressing like women. Today people do it to be funny or because of immorality so it seems it would apply to motive. We know that men are attracted to women and women to men so if someone disguished themselves as the opposite sex and attracted same gender attention that would be immorality. Its deceit to dress as the opposite sex in a way that hides your gender. Today the pantsuits and jeans accentuate curves so men have no problem identifying a woman as a woman but if a man wears a dress they wouldn't know since that is more deceitful. If a denomination demands women not wear pantsuits as they did in the past they are looked upon as legalistic. They still demand men not wear dresses and so should they. Sincerely, Val |

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 | ||||||

Dear Kcam: In regard to Number 14:18 reading the entire chapter I find that the context shows that the guilty are not believers, not saved, not counted righteous as Hebrews says. Num.14:18 (New American Standard Bible) 18- 'The LORD is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; :-(but He will by no means clear the guilty,)-: visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generations.' The Lord himself says that these people except for Joshua and Caleb were unbelievers. Moses interceded for them and the Lord did not wipe them out but he did not allow them to enter the land. They wandered forty years in the desert. Numbers 14:1-28 Look at the words rebellious, grumbling, unbelievers, rejecting the Lord. Relate Exodus 34:6-7 to 20:5-6. God had told the sons of Israel not to worship or serve idols because He is a jealous God, visiting the father’s iniquity on the children, on the third and fourth generations of those who hate Him, but showing lovingkindness to thousands who love Him and keep His commandments. The Lord’s mercy would extend even more to the descendants of righteous people. The contrasting of the phrases “third and fourth” (v. 5) with thousands demonstrates that God’s mercy is greater than His wrath. The lingering effects of righteousness will last far longer than the lingering effects of wickedness.” – The Nelson Study Bible "but each man/women was held responsible for their choices and decisions" Can you verify this statement with scripture? Deuteronomy 24:16, says that everyone is put to death for his own sin. Sorry for the wrong chapter Psalms 52; it is Psalms 32:5 Psalm 32, a wisdom psalm, is also one of the great penitential psalms. It is generally believed that this psalm like Ps. 51 has its origin in David’s response to God following his infamous affair with Bathsheba, 2 Sam. 11. It is one of the marks of the integrity of Scripture that the low points as well as the triumphs of its principal characters are described. The structure of this psalm is as follows: One, a description of blessing, verses 1,2; Two, a report of David’s agony before he confessed his sins, verses 3-5; Three, a lesson to others based on David’s experience with the Lord, verses 6, 7; Four, an oracle from the Lord on righteous living, verses 8,9; Five, concluding praise to the Lord for His mercy, verses 10, 11. – The Nelson Study Bible David, the man after God’s own heart, upon being confronted by Nathan, was deeply grieved and repented and was forgiven. Who else can it be said of in scripture that he was a man after God’s own heart? David loved the Lord and obeyed him. When he sinned and was confronted with that sin, he was deeply grieved and repented and was forgiven. He was also blessed with another child – Solomon. David had many wives and many sons and daughters however God chose this child, a child of David’s and Bathsheba to be the next king. David already had other children. God chose Solomon. Sin is a very serious thing and affects friends and families. Its consequences are still there, however, because of the attitude of David’s heart, God forgave him, restored him and blessed him. Just as he made David clean and made him whiter than snow, God extends that promise to anyone who will come to Him with their sins and seek God’s forgiveness with a broken and contrite heart. We must remember this is not our home, this world, we are only passing through. We, like David, are looking for a city, a heavenly home. Sincerely, Val |

Dear 4191: The church at Antioch sent Paul and Silas on their first missionary journey. This church was believed to have more gentile christians. The home church at Jerusalem was mostly made up of jewish converts to chrisitanity. It was lead by James, Jesus brother. It was harder for them to accept this "new thing" of the gospel being available to gentiles because before they had always been told to stay away from gentiles. Jesus spoke to Peter in a vision and told him to preach to Cornelius, the first gentile convert. And so Peter explained it to the people that he was not to call anything unclean that God had made clean and that the gospel was to be proclaimed to them. Another point was that later Peter would when he was in Jerusalem would not eat with gentile believers perhaps because he wanted the people's approval. Paul called him out on this and said it wasn't right so to speak. Some of the jewish converts wanted the gentile converts to add their jewish traditions to their christianity; the leaders met for a church council and the results of that were that the gentiles would not have to do that but they were to abstain from immorality, things sacrificed to idols and one more I don't remember right now. The other Jew-Gentile controversy was that there were Jews who were not really converts and they hated the fact that Paul was offering salvation to the gentiles; they would follow him around the cities and cause him trouble, stirring people up and the like; they were called jewdaisers, that is the wrong spelling. If you have any reference books on the life of Paul, skim through them quickly before Sunday. They will give you a lot of information. Sincerely, Val | ||||||
