21 | God/Man, Man/Man Relationships | Gen 3:8 | David_24597 | 71659 | ||
It seems to me that a "man/man" relationship would be very similar to a "brother/brother" relationship. Especially considering that all God's people belong to the same spiritual family. Likewise a "man/God" relationship would be very much like a "son/Father" relationship. Especially considering that Jesus bridged the gap between His Father and fallen man. He (Jesus) became, in effect, our Brother (since He came down to the earth and was born of a human woman). Now, I am quite aware that Jesus is my Creator. Yet He came down to the earth and BECAME my Brother and has reconciled me to the Father. |

22 | famine and Judges crossreference | Ruth 1:1 | David_24597 | 71656 | ||
Well, Ruth was the grandmother of King David. He was the second king of Israel. Saul was the first and he ruled for 40 years (it's in Acts somewhere the he ruled for 40 years). When Saul became king this brought about the end of the rule of the judges in Israel (read the last verse of the book of Judges). Ruth's son was born very near the time when Saul became king (David was still fairly young, I think, when he became king). Ruth came from Moab with her mother-in-law Naomi. Naomi was in Moab for about 10 years (Ruth 1:4). So, I think, that this famine mentioned in verse 1 would have taken place in the last generation of the judges, right after Samson. I think he was the last judge mentioned in the book of Judges. This famine then would have been right around the time that the tribe of Benjamin was destroyed (read Judges chapters 17-21). Phinehas the grandson of Aaron (Moses' brother) was still alive at this time as well (20:28). Does this help you any? | ||||||
23 | How do I make sense of the context? | Acts 8:13 | David_24597 | 69785 | ||
Where does it say that future sins are ever forgiven? Doesn't a sin have to be repented of in order for it to be forgiven? Future sins don't even exist yet. How can something that doesn't exist be forgiven? Rom. 3:25 states that it is "past" sins that are forgiven. Hos. 4:6 states that God's people CAN fall. They have rejected some essential knowledge so God will, in turn, reject them. Specifically God's law is mentioned here too. Just some thoughts people might want to consider here. | ||||||
