28 | what does God say about communication? | Matt 6:9 | terrib | 152421 | ||
Dear preciosa, RE: “communication being a leadership quality” A picture is worth a thousand words. In leadership, a leader will be communicating this picture; sound moral principle, unimpaired, completeness, uprightness, honesty and sincerity. (2 Timothy 3:17 KJV) “That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” A leader must communicate integrity first of all, for he will be communicating himself. (Psalms 25:21 NASB) Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. (Proverbs 11:3 NASB) The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the crookedness of the treacherous will destroy them. "I am sure that in estimating every man's value either in private or public life, a pure integrity is the quality we take first into calculation, and that learning and talents are only the second." Thomas Jefferson, 1792 (Campus Crusade for Christ) Other aspects of leadership: Courage, Vision, Faithfulness, Availability, Teachability, Wisdom and Perseverance. For study, read 2 Timothy Communication: The act of imparting, conferring, or delivering, from one to another; as the communication of knowledge, opinions or facts. Know your material that you are trying to convey! (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Longfellow once said, "sometimes we may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues." Careful examination of the lives of several leaders described in the Old Testament indicates that the purpose of leadership is not fame, power, or fortune, but to lead people with truth and righteousness. Leaders, as well as ordinary people, must be ethical and should not cover up injustices, even on the part of loved ones. They must also realize that no good comes from being interested in vengeance and the settling of old scores. And lastly but most firstly: Pray and seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance in all your goings and comings and be willing to accept His direction. And when you have worn holes in the knees of your trousers, get up, put on a new pair and start again. (Luke 22:42b KJV) nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. Hope this helps, terrib |

31 | So she should only be eating fruit? | Gen 2:16 | terrib | 152399 | ||
Hi Songbirdca, "But how can a perfect world (Eden) have included meat-eating?" I never said that it did. I said: " If Adam started eating meat at the first he would destroy and make extinct certain species;". They were created on the same day. So, if you kill one of them to eat how would they reproduce? And the Scriptures do not say that they ate meat either. Not until after man sinned was there a change. Like I pointed out before, the direct authority written in Scripture was given to Noah (Gen 9:3-4). And that was about 600 or so years after Adam. Abel, the son of Adam, was a keeper of sheep (the first shepherd slain by his own kind), now whither he raised the sheep for food or wool the Scriptures do not expressly say. And when Abel offered sacrifices to the Lord, it does not say that the sacrifices were burnt offerings either. These are innuendoes and can be very speculative. Or consider how Noah knew which were the clean animals and which were the unclean animals to bring into the ark. The Scriptures are silent about how Noah knew these things. And yet we can see, with a spiritual eye, that when God made coats of skin for Adam and Eve, they beheld the first death recorded, the first sacrifice for sin, a blood sacrifice, Christ in a figure, who is therefore said to be the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Rev 13:8). And God covered them. We can also see a difference in attitude, were before the sacrifice they hid from the Lord, but now a tone of reverence and faith when Eve (concerning Cain) says, "I have gotten a man from the LORD." (Gen 4:1), a glad thing and even a praise to the Almighty God who saved them through His grace. So, who taught Cain and Abel to sacrifice...?, the parents. Gen 4:4 "And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof", notice the inference to the Mosaic Laws, 'the firstling and the fat is the Lord's'... another shadow of things to come ... ? Did Adam and Eve eat meat after the first sacrifice ... ? In love, terrib |

32 | So she should only be eating fruit? | Gen 2:16 | terrib | 152319 | ||
Greetings Songbirdca, It must be remembered that in the first days of this new creation herbs and trees were plentiful. Animals were only beginning to multiply and be fruitful. If Adam started eating meat at the first he would destroy and make extinct certain species; and as God had plans for the survival of man so He must also make plans for the survival of the animals. Remember that these were of the first days of creation and as such we must look at these things in that light. Did God give the giant whale teeth to eat with or does it strain plankton and brine shrimp? Did He give the eagle the hooked beak and strong talons to hold onto grain only? Or did God know that these things, over time, would be needed for survival? Just as He knew that in time man would eat meat: (Genesis 9:3 NASB) "Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant. (Genesis 9:4 NASB) "Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. It is ominous for us to say what God's intentions were. In reading Job 38-41 God expresses Himself to man. And in the end we must replay with: (Job 42:1 NASB) Then Job answered the LORD and said, (Job 42:2 NASB) "I know that You can do all things, And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. (Job 42:3 NASB) 'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' "Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know." (Job 42:4 NASB) 'Hear, now, and I will speak; I will ask You, and You instruct me.' (Job 42:5 NASB) "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You; (Job 42:6 NASB) Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes." And let us not forget: (1 Timothy 4:1 KJV) Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; (1 Timothy 4:2 KJV) Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; (1 Timothy 4:3 KJV) Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. (1 Timothy 4:4 KJV) For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: (1 Timothy 4:5 KJV) For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.(ref. Gen 9:3) In love, terrib |

33 | Who is speaking? | Dan 10:13 | terrib | 151979 | ||
Hi Kalos, I didn't look at previous chapters since the vision started in chap 10. From the description of the angel I almost thought it was the Son of God speaking because it is about the same as that in Revelations. But then the phrase "came to help me", then I thought, why would the Son need help. Thanks, terrib |

Hi Searcher, No, it would make Noah 480 years old when God put forth the decree. Could you tell me why you say it took effect with Nahor? Yes, the experts have been wrong before, but it is hard to put down all the accumulated years of their studies. terrib |

36 | Who are the spirits in 1 Peter 3 v 19? | 1 Pet 3:19 | terrib | 151956 | ||
Hi Searcher, Thanks for replying, this can be a sticking point, but let's see if we can figure this out. Genesis is a treatment of the generation of all things, of the heavens, and the earth, and all that are in them, and of the genealogy of men: it treats of the first men, of the patriarchs before the flood, and after it to the times of Joseph. It is in a chronological format. The Lord is not speaking to Noah in 6:3 but to Himself (or and) to the Heavenly Host. (Genesis 6:3 KJV) And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. (Genesis 6:4 KJV) There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. "in those days"(v4), what days, the days the Lord said these things. "also after that"(v4), "and they bare children to them", there is a time span here. (Genesis 6:5 KJV) And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. God saw the wickedness of these children, these men. And it was getting worse. And God said: (Genesis 6:7 KJV) And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. Now, after all this, enters Noah on the stage being 500 years old. The children in verse 4 had to have time to grow up to become the mighty men from the time of the Lord's proclamation. By context this had to have happened before Noah was 500 years old. You said "which is man's lifespan, which took in effect with Nahor (11:25)." These are contrary to your statement: Nahor: 29 years (11:24) plus 119 years (11:25) equals 148 years. (Genesis 11:25 KJV) And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters. Terah, Nahor's son: 205 years (Genesis 11:32 KJV) And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran. Abraham lived 175 years (Genesis 25:7 KJV) And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. Isaac lived 180 years (Genesis 35:28 KJV) And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years. So your premise is not correct. John Gill's Exposition on the Entire Bible: "yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years: meaning not the term of man's life, reduced to this from the length of time he lived before the flood; but this designs the space that God would give for repentance, before he proceeded to execute his vengeance on him; this is that "longsuffering of God" the apostle speaks of in the afore mentioned place, "that waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was preparing"; and so both the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan interpret it of a space of an hundred and twenty years given them to repent: now whereas it was but an hundred years from the birth of Japheth to the flood, some think the space was shortened twenty years, because of their impenitence; but it is more probable what Jarchi observes, that this decree was made and given out twenty years before his birth, though here related, by a figure called "hysteron proteron", frequent in the Scriptures." Albert Barnes' Note on the Bible: "His days shall be an hundred and twenty years. - “His days” are the days of man, not the individual, but the race, with whom the Lord still strives. Hence, they refer to the duration, not of the life of an individual, but of the existence of the race. From this we learn that the narrative here reverts to a point of time before the birth of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, recorded in the close of the preceding passage as there were only a hundred years from their birth to the deluge. This is according to the now well-known method of Scripture, when it has two lines of events to carry on. The former narrative refers to the godly portion of mankind; this to the ungodly remnant. Not forever will the Lord strive with man; but his longsuffering will still continue for one hundred and twenty years. Meanwhile he does not leave himself or his clemency without a witness. He sent Noah with the message of warning, who preached by his voice, by his walking with God, and also by his long labor and perseverance in the building of the ark. The doomed race, however, filled up the measure of their iniquity, and when the set number of years was accomplished, the overwhelming flood came." Matthew Henry, John Wesley and more studious men agree. Peace to you, terrib |

Hello, I found this description of fasting on the net. Now, I'm not the best of orators, and I'm not illiterate (?). But, can someone explain what this is saying in simple English? "Finally, in the strict acceptation of the term, fasting denotes abstinence from food, and as such is an act of temperance finding its raison d'être in the dictates of natural law and its full perfection in the requirements of positive ecclesiastical legislation." terrib |
