25 | Exodus and a God to fear | Exodus | PJC | 75079 | ||
Exodus, as all throughout the Bible, shows us a picture and demonstrates the character of God, our heavenly Father. There are times when He seems strict with His children. There are times when He expresses His concern for Israel in conversation with Moses (Exodus 3:16). The message for believers is to see how God is all the things and more that good father should be in bringing up and raising His children…especially through the example of the nation of Israel in the Old Testament. Yes, He should be feared…feared because we are sinners and He is such a merciful Creator. We can never do enough to repay what He has done for us in Jesus Christ. That is the whole point…we cannot do anything to deserve His favor. That favor is indeed a gift from Him and reflects His grace. As you continue to read Exodus I prayerfully hope that you will see that Israel could never keep all the Law therefore, they needed to cry out to God and seek His mercy. Just as we do today—we cannot work toward gaining our own salvation. In chapters 32-34 of Exodus, God should have killed all of Israel for their disobedience as they made a golden idol but He didn't. But He did send a plague (He "smote" -Exodus 32:35) among the people and also killed 3,000 that day. (Some believe those killed were the leaders of Israel.) Exodus 34:6 will describe to you some additional characteristics of God. This is also where He reiterates His covenant with Israel. Talk about merciful! Our God is that and more indeed! |

26 | what leadership role did Joshua play | Josh 8:1 | PJC | 74925 | ||
Joshua was a man who displayed obedience and loyalty to God. Joshua was specifically chosen to lead the Israelites into the Promise Land. He became uniquely qualified (along with Caleb) when they returned from spying out the land and gave encouraging reports to the people. The other 10 spies were negative and fearful, not believing that God's promises, to go before them and deliver their enemies into their hands, were yea and amen. In Joshua, chapter 1:6,7,9 and 18, God specifically commands and encourages Joshua to be strong and courageous as he goes in to possess the land. (God is actually talking to Joshua!) Joshua obeys all God's commands and instructions and conquers Jericho for the LORD. (Actually the LORD delivers Jericho into Israel's hands.) Only one time in the entire record of Joshua does he not seek out God. That was the first time Israel tried to conquer Ai. That is from Joshua chapter 7. Chapter 7 verse 6 demonstrates Joshua's repentence of not seeking God's direction in the attempt at Ai. This demostrated something that the Israelites had a hard time doing…repenting and telling God of their sorrow of sinning against Him.(Don't we do that still today?) As you read the entire book of Joshua, and you really should, look for the comparisons of Joshua to Jesus. Joshua as a warrior provided the home for Israel. Jesus goes to prepare a place for us in heaven. Joshua drove out Israel's enemies. Jesus comes into our life and drives out our strongholds, He changes us. Joshua obeyed God, drove out the enemies and Israel had rest. Jesus obeyed His Father, and goes to provide a rest for all who believe! Thank You Lord Jesus. |

27 | House vs Business | Luke 2:49 | PJC | 74919 | ||
In essence your focus on house vs. business is not where the context leads in this passage. When reading the entire chapter for context, Jesus is establishing the Fatherhood of God as His Father. The Greek definition for Father's business, or Father's house is Strong's 3962, defined through Zodhiates NT Greek Dictionary: "A father of men but more specifically of God, by Whom is begotten." (Remember, Jesus is establishing God as His Father) Zodhiates goes on to say "specifically, God is called the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ in respect to that particular relation in which Christ is the Son of God. Where the Father and the Son are expressly distinguished." In this case Jesus calls God His Father, "pater mou." In context, the NASB notes that this literally means the things of My Father or My Fathers affairs. So again, the emphasis is on the Fatherhood of God to His Son Jesus. You can learn what the Greek word meanings are by getting a Strong's concordance (same version of your Bible) and Spiros Zodhiates' NT Greek Dictionary which elaborates on the word definitions. A concordance has every word in the Bible listed alphabetically and assigns that word a 4-digit number. The dictionary gives the definitions acording to the 4-digit number. (I teach word studies in Greek and Hebrew to Bible study students.) May God continue to bless your time in His Word. |

28 | Go to Hell after receiving Holy Spirit? | Rom 10:9 | PJC | 74562 | ||
No, baptism in merely an outward sign of an inward Change. Most people have decided in their heart some time prior to baptism to accept Christ. Even those who have not been baptised and believe will go to be with the Lord. He knows the heart. Amen |

29 | The Human Race... A few questions | Bible general Archive 1 | PJC | 74559 | ||
I can't resist your questions and I hope this helps your understanding: 1) Human nature is inherently sinful. 2) Human beings are born with a sin nature. 3) Human life is more valuable because we were created in God's image, according to His likeness and we are fearfully and wonderfully made. 4) Get a Bible concordance and look up any words that you feel are related to your 'human life' questions. IE: intentional killing, unintentional killing you would look up "manslayer" or "blood avenger." |

30 | where does the soul rest before Christ | Bible general Archive 1 | PJC | 74558 | ||
2 Corinthians 5:8 To be absent from the body is to be at home with the Lord. Read this chapter in context. The body remains, the soul goes to be with the Lord immediately upon death. When Jesus returns for His church, Harpzo (the taking up) those who have died (their bodies) will be caught up and changed and those who remain (those alive) will be caught up and given new bodies. 1 Thesalonians 4:15 Be sure that when you look up Scriptures that you check out the cross references as they can clarify the Scriptures for you. (Scripture interpreting Scripture) |

31 | Why is "he" not capitalized? | 2 Thess 2:7 | PJC | 74546 | ||
You are most likely referring to the NASB version which I really enjoy because they do capitalize MOST of the diety pronouns. I have a list of pronouns for diety that the Lockman Foundation (pub. of NASB) did not capitalize. I have written them and their answer is they "decide on capitalization via a committee." If the committee decides NOT to capitalize something it doesn't get capitalized. Here are a few other verses that require capitalization: Gen. 3:15 "Him on the heel." (Jesus) John 1:33 "One" (Jesus) 1 John 5:6 "One" (Jesus) Heb. 7:13 "One" (Jesus) 3 Tim. 1:9 "Who" (God) Joshua 5:14 "He" (Jesus) Joshua 11:15 "He" (God) As I continue in my time in God's Word I find more and more instances of this. But you know what? It keeps me always alert and looking. Remember, the editors and publishers are mere mortals who do make mistakes. BUT God's Word is divinely inspired and divinely appointed for you and me…keep that in your heart! |

32 | Does God really have a plan for my life | Prov 16:3 | PJC | 74543 | ||
God has a plan for everyone's life. What is God's will for your life? Dear one, keep your heart in tune to the Scriptures and keep in mind that as we read His Word we are to focus on Him, not ourselves. It is all about Him and the more we learn and seek His ways, the less we are focused on ourself. All things work together for the good for those who love Him. Whether you get turned down or accepted at anything in this life, go forward as His child. |

33 | where there men on earth before adam ? | Gen 3:20 | PJC | 74542 | ||
No, there were no men on earth before Adam. You referenced Gen 3:20 "Eve was the mother of all the living." You must remember that Adam was uniquely created… Gen. 2:7 "The Lord God formed man (Adam)from the dust of the ground and God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life." All other men were born through a woman. (Eve was also uniquely created as she was taken from Adam's side, all other women were born from a woman.) |
||||||
34 | Is this a prophecy about Messiah? | Gen 49:10 | PJC | 74540 | ||
Yes, this blessing from Jacob to his son Judah is a prophetic blessing. Shiloh was where God dwelled among the 12 tribes of Israel when they came back to the promised land from 430 years in Egypt. You can read more about Shiloh in Joshua chapter 18. Shiloh means rest. This was a time when all Israel finally had rest after the land was apportioned to the 12 tribes.God had given all of Israel's enemies into their hands. But God did not dwell for long in Shiloh as he went to Zion due to Israel's disobedience. (Remember, Israel means "he who strives with God" and certainly is a picture of us today. We need to seek God;s rest through our obedience,) |
