Shalom Justme, That was a very interesting post. Thank you. I now use the NKJV, but everytime I have to go look up a scripture out of e-Sword, I have to use the KJV cos that's what is in my memory. I never can remember the other versions' rendering of passages... Yes, God truly has used the KJV. :o) Cheri |

Thank you MJH!! I really liked that!! I asked, realizing, unless I'd missed something, that the answers would be mostly speculation - but you managed to do both. The fact that Abraham was still childless was known, and yet, I managed to not make the connection of praying for another to get what he himself wanted so badly!! So, again, Thank You!! (Isn't it grand, that when we need them, thru SBF we have 2 or more pairs of eyes and 2 or more brains?) Shalom Cheri |

Hi Brad, Certainly. I thought I had clarified it when I stated that there are laws that didn't apply to Him. First, maybe we're on different pages, I'm thinking of the 613 laws. You too? If that's the case, the statement remains. All means all, nothing else. Jesus could only "fulfill" what applied to Him. He was not at that time a High Priest, He was not a Levite, He was not a father, He was not a husband, He wasn't in the military, and He certainly wasn't a woman - yet there are laws for these groups of people. I certainly wasn't saying anything derogatory about my Lord!! During His lifetime, I have no doubt that as the opportunity arose He performed what was written just exactly the way God had always intended it to be done, in the spirit in which it was to be done. Sorry for the confusion. Cheri |

Thanks Val, I've read that story time and again, and always wondered that. I had pretty much agreed with what you wrote but wondered if maybe there was something I was missing... Cheri |

Shalom Kamschoolgrad, Well, here I am, getting myself into trouble again here, but I have to agree for the most part with your dilemma. We love to quote the "Ten Commandments" and then weekly come up with excuses why we don't observe Shabbat. Just because the Jews didn't observe it properly is not a good reason that we shouldn't at least try. (I find it a joy.) Jesus observed Sabbath. Eating according to what is written in the Bible is not difficult (all the man-made dietary laws probably are - but the Bible only has about 2 pages of do's and don't's and those are not too hard). Jesus observed God's dietary dictates. Now, some of the death penalty situations - the only thing I can state there is that as individuals we MUST abide by our city, state, and country laws even when they seem to go against the written judgments of God. (We must believe that God put these lawmakers into office for His own good reasons.) We cannot become a society of vigilantes. That would be as bad as the civil laws being totally wrong. Even the Jews, way back before Jesus walked the earth had come to the conclusion that one man in 70 years put to death was too many - so we (Christians) are not the only ones who think we know better than God in some cases!! :o) So, for those areas that we cannot take into our own hands - just pray, and pray about the situations - we can do nothing else. As far as things that we, as individuals, can do to obey God's judgments, I believe that we should. We are to be disciples of Jesus and one of the main things a disciple is expected to do is to DO what and as the Master does/did. A disciple talks like his Master, thinks like his Master, acts like his Master, reads what his Master reads, loves what his Master loves and hates what his Master hates. (Most Christians do this.) The only real answer I can tell you to give these friends of yours is to never mind what others do or don't do, if they believe that they are being led of the Spirit to obey God's commands (that is, the ones they can legally do) they should. If the Spirit is not leading them, then they should not, because it would just become legalistic "works" that benefit nothing. For the most part, I believe Christians do obey the majority of God's statutes and judgments when they simply keep Jesus the focus of their lives - the Holy Spirit is NOT going to lead them astray!! So, Sunday, ham, man-made observances over God-ordained feasts is not really the issue - it's Who dwells within, Who guides you in your decisions. Sorry I couldn't help more in the death-sentence areas. Maybe someone else can...:o) Cheri |

Hiya Keliy, After I pressed the submit button I realized my response didn't answer your question - which by the way is a very good one. (If you get a viable answer elsewhere please share it with me via email in my profile.) I'm very happy that you are enjoying Mr. Tom :o) His teachings have a way of just opening up sayings and events that took place in the NT in a way I've never viewed them before...and certainly sayings and events of the OT era that I've never been taught before. Are you listening to Genesis? Have you gotten to chapters 48-49 yet? He does an awesome job on those!! Shalom Cheri |

Greetings Doc, OK, I'm with you now, I think. (Like I said, sometimes it takes me awhile....) I think I understand what you're saying now. Hope you've had a great Sunday. :o) Cheri |

Shalom Doc, I've already discussed this with John. I had trouble with the quote and the portrayal of any country in it. I got lost in it. As far as any assumptions, I go with Gen. 12:3 plus others that escape me at the moment. I believe that God views Israel and the nations. If we are born-again of Messiah then we, as individuals are viewed, individually, as part of Israel (and just as 10 righteous people could have saved Sodom, they can also save the nations in which they live today). But nationally, believing individuals may suffer along with those nations who rise up against Israel. I believe that Jer. 31:35-37 and 33:19-26 is still God's heart (concerning physical Israel and those who have spiritually joined themselves to Israel). He hasn't changed. I'm nowhere near as good at words as you are, Doc, so I hope I didn't mess this up too much.... :o) My main trouble, again, was the connection with the quote and the attempt to "see" any given country linked to it... Cheri |

Hiya Bro, I did re-read it. I think my problem is I just don't see any particular nation as posed in the original question being portrayed. And the quote just didn't seem to fit. As Peter once said about Paul, Doc can sometimes be hard to understand (so I guess we're both in pretty good company, Doc with Paul and his words, and me scratching my head with Peter, going "huh???") :o) And then later, it's "duh!!! Helloooo!!" Cheri |

Shalom John, You're jumping in is just fine. I was just totally lost in that quote from the fellow. I couldn't see any correlation either but it sounded like I was suppose to see something.... Sometimes I'm just thick. Cheri |

Doc, I have to kinda admit, I got really lost in Goldworthy (?). Can you re-state what he was trying to say? Sometimes, I need 1st grade talk :o) Cheri |

Good afternoon, Kcabm, It is not in good form to just tell someone that they are wrong, and certainly not very humble. It is much more honorable to offer the possibility of error with backing scripture - and then to humbly offer a different interpretation, also with backing references. A really wonderful teacher must always be aware that he/she is NOT the final authority, and that he'she is certainly not incapable of being in error. (We have only one such Teacher in that category!) Shalom Cheri |

35 | Trouble with Pronouns | Is 63:11 | skccab | 212936 | ||
Keliy, Thank you so much for the research!! I really like the NKJV. I have the CJB that I use when checking out OT verses, but had misplaced it (have found it since) and it agrees with your understanding (it uses, I think, the JPS version of the Hebrew Scriptures). That verse just stopped me in my tracks. That happens sometimes :o) BTW, good work on the John the Baptist response! Cheri |
||||||
36 | Trouble with Pronouns | Is 63:11 | skccab | 212931 | ||
Doc, Thanks, didn't think to do that. In the suggested versions it reads "His people remembered..." so it would be safe to conclude that it is in lowercase by error and is indeed referring to God - "Then He remembered..."? Cheri |

37 | Are we all descendants of Adam and Eve? | Genesis | skccab | 212912 | ||
Shalom Idrive, No, that's not it....But when you make statements that no one here can remember reading in the Bible, we do like Book, chapter and verse so we can go read it. This is a STUDY Bible Forum, we study the Bible. If I make the statement that the ancients, 3000 years ago, knew that the earth was round and not flat - I'd need to back up that statement with Isaiah 40:22a. I could be understanding that verse amiss and someone else could help me to better understand what it means. Or, maybe that's a completely new piece of true information for someone else and now they have a reference for it. That's why we ask for references...so we can ALL study God's wonderful Word together. :o) Cheri |

Shalom Tim, Does not the Prov. 6 passages just bring one around full circle to what God commanded Moses to tell the Israelites in Deut. 6:4-7, the latter part being "You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up"? Childrens' parents were supposed to teach their children the instructions of their God. Have a blessed day Cheri |
