23 | WAS MY IMPORTANT DIVORCE A SIN | Bible general Archive 2 | Stultis the Fool | 126235 | ||
Jesus tells us that it is unrighteous to divorce our spouse for just any reason, but that it is permissable to divorce for immorality (adultery KJV). See Mathew Chapter 19, verses 3-9. God also tells us that He "hates divorce" [Malachi 2:16]. Read the whole of Malachi chapter 2 for context. Divorce is never a good thing (I am sure you know this), but it can become the only option. Even God divorces his wife. Read Jeremiah Chapter 3, verse 8 to see this in context. God is explaining that He was left with no option because of the repeated immorality of His wife. If you speak the truth, your transgression is neither sin nor impardonable. It seems as though you did the right thing. | ||||||
24 | doorkeepers responsibilities | Ps 84:10 | Stultis the Fool | 126066 | ||
The Psalm reads akin to "I have chosen to stand at the threshold of your house, rather than in the tents of the wicked." I see no correlation between this Psalm and the concept of checking men for circumcision. What is being described in 2 Chronicles 23:19 appears to be a dispensation of the offices and those who were assigned; record-keeping if you will. I am not saying that the teacher who taught you is incorrect, but I do not see anything that PLAINLY indicates inspection of the genitalia. In study, the word, here "gatekeeper," appears to be describing someone who "opens the gate." However, it is not unreasonable to believe that a doorkeeper stationed such that "no one should enter who was in any way unclean" was inspecting the male genitalia could not also be the case, particularly considering some of the conduct of the Jews later on. I just believe that a certain amount of inordinate extrapolation needs to take place for me to find this thing to be believable. I am not familiar with an appointed office of "doorkeeper" in the Pentateuch, but I may be wrong. Also, is there a Mosaic Law forbidding men from being "uncovered" in the tabernacle? If this is the case, it would definately preclude any genital inspection occurring in the house of the Lord, and thus debunk what was discussed by your teacher. Perhaps someone else can shed some light? |

25 | What does it mean in NEH.1 verse 5 when | Heb 10:31 | Stultis the Fool | 126059 | ||
Well, God is definately great, and it is definately a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the Living God (judgement). Additionally, that word (terrible) is not always translated as "terrible." The NASB translates it as "Awesome." This statement appears to be veneration and praise. I hope this helps! | ||||||
26 | Jesus speaks as the archangel? | 1 Thess 4:16 | Stultis the Fool | 126053 | ||
First, point out that the passage in no way declares who is sounding this "shout," neither does it declare who is blowing the "trumpet." Second, ask them to demonstrate this [Jesus is Michael the Archangel] with two or three witnesses, [2 Corinthians 13:1; Deuteronomy 17:6 and 19:15; Matthew 18:16] not just one. Finaly, if this is true [Jesus is Michael the Archangel], ask them to explain Romans 10:9. You may also wish to insist that they use an "excepted" form of the Bible, such as KJV. | ||||||
27 | Torah vs Mishna | Bible general Archive 2 | Stultis the Fool | 125962 | ||
I make of that exactly as Christ condemns... these same traditions are a big part of what put him on the Cross. In many instances Christ is criticized for not keeping the traditions (washing hands, etc.), and he is equally critical of those traditions versus the Law (Corban, Seven Woes, etc.). I feel quite certain that he was not speaking of these traditions in the passage in question (don't call them Rabbi, honor their seat in the synagogue, etc.), else this directly contradicts his teachings. By the way, do you know why this thread has been removed from the home page? |

28 | A Command of Jesus | Bible general Archive 2 | Stultis the Fool | 125944 | ||
Thank you for the clarification, though I see no need for personal interperatation. Christ poses this statement quite well... "the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat", [the pharisees] telling them [the people] to do the things God has ordained, but, He continues, "do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not." Continuing in context, Christ expresses several examples of the Pharisees hypocracy, pointing out that what the Pharisees instruct is righteous, but the things they do are unrighteous. The people were to keep the Law of Moses (which is what the Pharisees were instructing), but the Pharisees deeds (which were deeds of Hypocracy, and pride, and the deeds of those wishing to be "recognized of men"), were unacceptable. Christ is pointing out to those gathered, rather sarcastically, that all the Pharisees do is wicked, so anything they say WHICH THEY DO NOT ALSO OBSERVE, is acceptable for imitation. It is interesting to note that this is followed by the Seven Woes, an assembly of curses directed at the Pharisees, in response to their hypocracy. Additionally, neither Christ, nor the Pharisees (by context of "Moses' seat") are advocating anything the Lord has not commanded, and thus what matter is the advocate in correlation to the commands of God. Again, ought we to do what man says, or what God says. It was not the Pharisees creating the Law of Moses for the people, but rather diseminating the information. Where the Law pertains, it was God (through Moses... or his seat, if you will) performing the instruction. Finally, I am glad to overlook all that you say regarding your inadequacy, as I find your entreatment this occasion to be more than adequate. Please, do not believe that you have offended me greatly, and know that I will gladly forgive anything I can forgive on your behalf, wether or not to me I find it to be sin. |

29 | Background info? | Bible general Archive 2 | Stultis the Fool | 125933 | ||
Moses background is written in Exodus, Solomon in 1Kings. I suggest you read them (as the story is too long to retype). In brief, Moses was an adopted prince, and Solomon was the wisest man in the world, as well as king. Authors of the Psalms include David, Hezekiah, and many others. Mathew was a tax-collector, Mark was a friend of Peter, Luke was a doctor/researcher and a friend of Paul, and John was another desciple (the "desciple whom jesus loved"). The short answere is: their backgrounds effected the content and emphasis of events in their respective gospels. The long answere is: find several sources of study and research each; it will be well worth your time! | ||||||
