21 | What was the name of Lot´s wife? | Gen 19:26 | wordoer | 73795 | ||
Hello EdB, Thank you for your response and concern in this matter. I believe the scripture is very clear about not letting any man deceive us. I’m no Bible expert, But, let me run this by you, for your consideration. I am reading along in the Word of God , and I come across these references to the book of Jasher, that two great men of God, Joshua and David are directing my attention to. (As a means of validating what they are saying.) So , my interest is aroused, and I search out and obtain a copy of this book. I will admit I have not read the whole way through the book as my studies send me off in different directions to find information. I was a little concerned last night after reading Taleb’s reply, where it was pointed out to me that neither reference was valid. What?!!! I knew that the account of Joshua was in there so I looked at that first, and yes, it’s still there. If I could talk to Joshua, I would tell him, Yes, I’ve read of the account of which you speak, and it is written in Jasher. My main concern was David’s reference in 2Sam 1:18, I had not checked it out, ( Forgive me, and Thank you for helping to keep me honest). So, I went and started reading, and guess what, I found it! So now also, if I could talk to David, I could tell him, Yes , I have seen where it is written. Now , I’m dry, what I need is this, “more than a little proof”, you speak of. I mean if this book is wrong, or contrary to the scriptures, I want to check it out and make sure before I toss it out. But, if it is true or at least worthy of noting, I would like to be able to glean information from it. For example, the name of Lot’s wife. I also doubt the writer of Jasher forgot to write anything as it was apparently written before Joshua and David referred to it. I realize that this book (Jasher) is not the inspired Word of God.( If a subject of disagreement arose between God’s Word and Jasher, The Holy Scriptures would win out hands down.) This does however appear to be an excellent history book, with between the lines information of early Biblical accounts. Also consider this, God’s Word says it is written in Jasher, Is it not calling God a liar, If we deny the what the Word tells us. I looked and these things are written in the Book of Jasher. Now you have two contrary accounts of the references to this book, My account is agreeable with scripture, Biblical experts refute it as a deception. Someone is lying, You judge for yourself. I will provide the references if you are interested, Or you could do like I did and check it out for yourself. Anyway, Who would waste time and read through a book that has been labeled as deception just to check to see if the Bible experts are telling the truth. Let no man deceive you with empty words. I want to add that it was not my intention to defend the Book of Jasher, ( I do think it was unduly maligned) and it will have to stand on its own. But to defend the Word of God , I hope you can see where Biblical experts have denied the Word of God. Yours in truth, wordoer |

22 | What do we know about Satan? | Ps 109:6 | wordoer | 40542 | ||
Hank, The copy I have says Reprinted from "Herald of the Coming Age", by Lord's Covenant Church America's Promise. No authorship is claimed, it is simply a thorough Bible study on the subject. It is kind of hard to find in the booklet form, but I did find a source, I also did a web search and found the study posted online. Matt.7:7. wordoer |

23 | Why did John the Baptist baptize Jesus? | Matt 3:15 | wordoer | 29200 | ||
I just want to point out that it was an example to us who desire to do the Lord's will, because Jesus would not ask us to do anything that He was not willing to do himself. Baptism is an act of submissiveness and humility. Are we not to be imitators of Christ? This would also bring us under this fulfillment of all righteousness (no longer sporting our worthless rags of righteousness, But being covered in the atoning blood), if we were baptized FOR the remission of sins, clothing ourselves with Christ, Gal 3:27 (even His righteousness). Righteousness would be acting in accord with divine or moral law to be justifiable, or in simple terms- doing the right thing to be free from guilt and sin. If you have forgiveness of sins you would also be free from the guilt of such. This is also the time that the spirit descended upon Him, Just like in Acts 2:38, "...and you shall recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit." Looks like a pretty good example to me. What other way is there in the scripture to recieve the Holy Spirit? wordoer |

24 | AGE OF ACCOUNTIBILITY | Bible general Archive 1 | wordoer | 28138 | ||
Hello Nolan, Let's look at Romans 3:20 it states,"through the Law comes a knowledge of sin". Therefore knowledge of sin comes from the Law. The law is right, transgressing law is wrong. 1 John 3:4 states that sin is a transgression of law.KJV ,NASB says "sin is lawlessness" basically with no law there can be no sin. Now I can agree that it is absurd to make the statement that you are not capable of sin before you are 20. I am addressing the "age of accountability for sin against God", Not the age that people are capable of commiting sin. You have added that into the equation for some reason? That would be a different part of this discussion and not equal in any way to the question at hand. I will try to convey my understanding about children and sin. God has an order ,a way things are supposed to be. The parent / child relationship is part of that order. God gives man and wife children to raise up. Man (parent) has the responsibility of teaching and correcting the child as he grows. Therefore, to the child, the parent is the Law. When the child does wrong, punishment is given from the parent, this leads to repentance for the child, because the desire to do wrong or displease the parent should outweigh the punishment that will be suffered.There we have a sin -punishment/correction - repentance scenario.Sometimes children do things that they don't know are wrong that is what this stage in life is for, to learn. If the parents do not do their charge in rearing the child , Who suffers? practically everybody! We have all been around unruly children, This follows for all aspects of life. The order for man under Christ is the same type of situation.God gives the Law ,follow the law recieve blessings, when man transgresses the Law, punishment or correction leads to Understanding of the Law, Man desires to please God, Repentance that will bring into right standing with God.I may not have got this in perfect script ,but please acknowledge the idea. If you would read my example, I explained that God did not hold the children (under 20) accountable for sins, theirs or their parents. Again, I did not say the people under twenty did not sin.When the man is 20, he comes out from the covering of his earthly father,at this time the Heavenly Father does the punishing and correcting. I can tell you that a 3 year old would have no idea of Gods law. Some people go their whole lives not understanding. I would like to know why you don't like the "way", I came to my conclusion? wordoer |

25 | AGE OF ACCOUNTIBILITY | Bible general Archive 1 | wordoer | 27958 | ||
Hello Nolan, I looked these words up in an english dictionary and the words are defined just the way I supposed, and intended that they come across. age- the time of life at which some particular qualification, power,or capacity rests.I give as example twenty years old for military service, and accountability for sin. accountability- subject to giving account;answerable. syn. responsible. So by those definitions, I can see in the scriptures I gave previously that those men twenty and older were held accountable for their actions (which was sin to them, disobedience to the Lord), while those younger than twenty were pardoned and not held responsible for the grumblings and disobedience of their fathers.Thereby setting a Biblical precedent of "Age of accountability",I hope this will clear things up for you. Can you give me any scripture to refute what I have explained ? They would be greatly appreciated and would deepen my understanding on the subject. Thank you, wordoer |
