21 | Noah entered the ark--exactly when? | Gen 7:1 | ariel levin | 225511 | ||
If a symbolic association is desired, I believe that the Hebrew word translated coffin at the end of Genesis is the same word used for Noah's ark. Now that holds some symbolism. | ||||||
22 | Why the children? | Num 33:55 | ariel levin | 224856 | ||
Inquisitor, Along with all the great references that have already been given, I echo my "Amen!" Personally, I don't relish the fact that infants (as well as severely mentally challenged adults) seem to have no hope, but this is as scripture appears to read. (Perhaps, unbeknownst to us, God has made provision?) But, I digress. Wasn't that the MAIN reason our Messiah HAD to be born of the seed of a virgin and of the Spirit of God? He couldn't have been a sin-free, spotless, faultless sacrifice for humankind had He been conceived of a man and woman. |

23 | Why the children? | Num 33:55 | ariel levin | 224858 | ||
Baja, I was responding, in part, because it seems a lot of folks believe that because an infant or a mentally challenged adult cannot discern the necessity of a savior that they are "without hope." (Perhaps I should have enquoted those words in my previous post?) Scripture does seem to support this view, but the love, mercy and grace that is our Father doesn't seem to line up with that view. Therefore, as with you, I can't prove it scripturally, there must be some kind of provision. Maybe the age of accountability, maybe something else - but there must be something. If every hair on our heads is numbered, then God must be in love with us. He surely knows that there are those who cannot reason with maturity, yet I'm sure He loves them every bit as much....It's just simply He hasn't deemed it necessary to tell us all His plans and ways - we're on a need-to-know basis :o) |

24 | moses's song | Deut 31:30 | ariel levin | 224084 | ||
Searcher I could have sworn I was looking at chp 33 of Dt. Need to get new glasses I guess!! And thanks for clarifying the verses in Rev. I thought I remembered there being a reference to the Song of Moses in Rev. but I just couldn't find it as I quickly read the places speaking about singing to the Lamb. |

25 | Man of God | 1 Kin 13:1 | ariel levin | 224697 | ||
Dear Inquisitor, You said, " Instead we must follow His Sacred Patterns such as the Day of Worship on Sunday, the first day of the week." Reference please where He says Sunday, first day of the week or the passage shows conclusively that that is "His Sacred Pattern" (not a narrative, but a specific command and or action). Thanks in advance |

26 | Man of God | 1 Kin 13:1 | ariel levin | 224703 | ||
Dear Inquisitor, Thank you greatly for your effort, I can see you put much work into it. But the Luke passage simply states that He was risen by the time the women arrived (it could have been only 5 minutes before or as much as 6 hours before their arrival). And all the other passages are narrative. If you truly believe that God did away with the seventh day Sabbath, then that makes Isaiah 58:13-14 (and so many other passages) a lie! At the very least, this is a wonderful promise that is not for Sunday christians. And I refuse to believe that either of those statements are true. I only mentioned this to begin with because of the strong emphasis you had put on Sunday worship. I have no desire to try to change yours or anyone's mind about Sat. or Sun. Thank you for listening. |

27 | bible verse about a woman being precious | Prov 31:10 | ariel levin | 225870 | ||
How about another thing? The Hebrew word that was translated "rib" (something not needed, quite disposable) Tsalah can also mean "side" (something extremely needed, absolutely not disposable). I would think that coming from the "side" of man would make her precious indeed. What do you say, Azure? Are we ribs or sides? |

29 | six reason why Lord abondon Judah | Isaiah | ariel levin | 224649 | ||
Shalom, Azure, Here in the states we have what is known as private "christian" schools that many parents choose over public schools. These will have courses in Bible study that the student really has no choice in whether or not to attend - thus, all the homework questions. Sadly, the majority of the parents of these kids probably have never opened a bible themselves, they just pay to send their kids to these schools because they think the schools are safer than the free public schools. :o( |

30 | six reason why Lord abondon Judah | Isaiah | ariel levin | 224673 | ||
Dear Azure, Of course, I couldn't know this for sure, but it wouldn't surprise me at all. Haven't you noticed that most of the homework type questions seem to come between Sept and May, with a few in July (Vacation Bible School)? That's why I assume that most are teens forced into bible courses they have no interest in, but they have to get a passing grade or face mom ahd dad. I could be wrong....:o) |

31 | Was he cut into at his death? | Is 53:5 | ariel levin | 225445 | ||
Lionheart, I don't know off the top of my head the reference (in Lev. I think), but it's usually noted as a divisor in the division captions of the Bible - check the ritual concerning the Law of Purification, it requires blood and running water....... |

Sahlom findrichard, Are you also observing the High Holy Days (Lev. 23)? If so, chag sameach! |

33 | The true Gospel Jesus proclaimed | Matt 4:23 | ariel levin | 224541 | ||
Good evening 00123, May I ask exactly WHAT commands you are referring to? Give us some specifics please. Being Torah-observant, I don't usually get involved in these types of discussions but your complaint seems to be way too open-ended. You haven't named even one specific command that you think is not being kept. Help us out here and give some examples? Thank you |

34 | The true Gospel Jesus proclaimed | Matt 4:23 | ariel levin | 224554 | ||
Shalom 00123, You're still pretty vague because the list you gave me is speaking more of a state of being, rather than a list of commands to do or not do. I, for one, will not take it upon myself to try and see into someone else's inner being - that job belongs to the Holy Spirit. We are told that by "their" fruit we will know our brethren. If you are not seeing good fruit among the people in your church then I would suggest that you quit whining and start praying - it only takes one man to tear things down or build them up. Pray that the Spirit of conviction would move among your brethren beginning with you, and start things rolling. Do you do all those things you listed? In your few posts I haven't seen much poorness in spirit (I see haughtiness), nor meekness (I see harshness), you're not mourning (you're griping), nor making peace (but division). There is nothing wrong with seeing problems in a situation, but it is wrong to just fuss about it and not offer any solutions. What do you suggest the church should do to correct this? Like BradK says, "Speaking in love" be blessed |

35 | SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH | Matt 5:17 | ariel levin | 223221 | ||
Lightedsteps You said, "why then try to keep the law that Christ has already kept for us" IMO, that is about as silly as trying to convince someone that because my parents paid their taxes perfectly each year of their working lives, I don't have to pay them. If the passages being discussed are no longer relevant, are void and null, then what "commands" and what "word" is being spoken of since the NT had not yet been preserved in one book? And what do we do with Mat. 5:17-19? Mind you, we don't "keep the Law" to be saved, we keep the Law because we ARE saved. It was not given to an unredeemed people. It was given to a people already redeemed to set them apart from the rest of the nations. Are we not grafted into this very olive tree? Or are we supposed to continue to look and act like the "nations" we came out of? I need some clarifiation here. Thank you |

36 | SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH | Matt 5:17 | ariel levin | 223226 | ||
Good day Lightedsteps, I was using your own choice of terms "...but the engrafted word, the perfect law of liberty..." when I asked what "word". Since at the time of the apostolic writings there was no New Testament, exactly what commands were being spoken of for believers to obey if not the commands found in the books of Moses? In Ex. 21 (just a continuation of chapter 20) God calls what He spoke in ch 20 mishpatim and tzedaka - judgements and righteousness - whoever first choose to label them "law(s)" I don't know, but to fulfill what you requested: Deut 6:6 (NASB) These words which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart... |

37 | Moses appeared from where? | Matt 17:3 | ariel levin | 225368 | ||
Greetings drbloor If you must place this "vision" outside of reality then please tell me what you do with all the other "visions". The Buning Bush, the cutting of the covenant whilst Abraham was in a deep sleep, the Angel's staying of Abraham's hand over Isaac, the conversation of Zacharias concerning the conception and birht of John, the dove alighting on the Master's head in the water, the "vision" and conversation Paul had on the road to kill the believers, etc.? Were these along with so many others just figments of someone's imagination, just ruminations from someone with too much time on their hands? |

38 | Actions to preach the kingdom of God | Luke 9:2 | ariel levin | 224445 | ||
Shalom 00123, We actually cannot answer that because we are not told in scripture. But to assume that they did what the Master did is not presumptuouse. They also probably followed the examples of previous Torah-teachers. They would go to the gates of the city and speak with the elders of the people there in hopes of finding lodging and a willingness to listen and learn. They would then go into the local synagogue or home where Moses would be taught on each Sabbath, and there they would preach the good news. If the elders would not receive them and their preaching they were to move on. This just about covers their physical actions. What they preached should not have been too much different than what the Master himself preached - Jer. 31:31 and all the places in the Scriptures where Messiah can be seen. Just my 2cents worth :o) |

39 | what did jesus look like | John 6:15 | ariel levin | 225308 | ||
Brad, Isa. 53:2 gives us an idea of what He looked like (or maybe more correctly, what He didn't look like) and Rev. 1:12-17 gives a pretty good description of the Exalted One as He looks today. |

40 | Is it bibical for a church to require? | John 8:7 | ariel levin | 224295 | ||
Shalom dka, This place sounds like it needs to be reminded of John 8:10 (as the other poster pointed out). God is in the business of forgiveness. If this girl has rectified the situation that got her in this predicament (i.e., she is no longer with the boy and will either raise the child on her own or adopt it out, or they are planning marriage), she has nothing to apologize to the "church" for. This situation is between her heavenly Father, her earthly parents and the baby's father (and his parents if underage) - once again, not the church's!!! It appears from your post that we are talking about some young girls (in their teens), I believe the passages in 1 Cor. sounds more like they are dealing with adults - these two catagories of people need to be dealt with differently in just about all aspects of life. Just my 2cents worth :o) |
