21 | What about the sabbath day? | Rom 10:4 | MAC702 | 112600 | ||
“Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.” (Sabbath keeping was a part of that Law. God used Christ to bring that Law to its end. Our having a righteous standing with God depends on faith in Christ, not on keeping a weekly sabbath.) If the Law was in effect, ALL of it would still be in effect. (Also Galatians 4:9-11; Ephesians 2:13-16) | ||||||
22 | gifts you can have | Eph 4:11 | MAC702 | 112596 | ||
There are a couple of different ways of interpreting your question. Here's but one answer. All men of God have a talent that we can use better than our other talents. Paul referred to these talents (and therefore the usage of the men) when he wrote to the Ephesians (in pertinent part): Now to each one of us undeserved kindness was given according to how the Christ measured out the free gift..... 11 And he gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelizers, some as shepherds and teachers, 12 with a view to the readjustment of the holy ones, for ministerial work, for the building up of the body of the Christ, |

23 | how many brothers Jesus have/there names | NT general Archive 1 | MAC702 | 112594 | ||
Starting in Matthew 13:55 we read, "Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? [56] And his sisters, are they not all with us?" So four half-brothers and at least two half-sisters. "Half-" because they only shared the same human mother. |

24 | Good start in Bible for new Christian? | Luke | MAC702 | 112587 | ||
I, too, would recommend starting with the gospels, and then follow immediately with Acts as it is a seamless transition to the days of the early Christians after Christ's death. It was written by Luke, in fact. I would probably just go in order through Revelation, and then start in Genesis, making sure to read the entire Bible. I like the schedules for doing so in a year, too. It's very doable, and well paced. |

25 | Why is the ground declared holy? | Ex 3:5 | MAC702 | 112584 | ||
Wow, I'm actually lucky I found your reply. I must admit this forum is rather difficult to navigate through and keep your place. Maybe I'm just not seeing the easy way. I'll look for the profile spot. Thanks. | ||||||
26 | Why don't we address God as Yahweh? | Bible general Archive 2 | MAC702 | 112581 | ||
Is there a way to edit for typos? Of course, I meant Ex 3:15 in my opening line.... | ||||||
27 | Why don't we address God as Yahweh? | Bible general Archive 2 | MAC702 | 112579 | ||
In the ASV, Ex 3:5 states, "And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations." Comparing to the NASB, your quote actually would put "LORD" in all-capitals, showing it as a substitution for YHWH, which appears in the text of the manuscripts. So, really, Ex 3:15 is telling Moses to use his name (Jehovah in English.) And ´Adho·nai´ is Hebrew for Lord. 'Kyrios' is Greek. I think you just mistyped; I only correct it for others who are reading. |

28 | Why don't we address God as Yahweh? | Bible general Archive 2 | MAC702 | 112576 | ||
I wouldn't say they TRANSLATE it as "LORD." More like they purposely (for whatever reason) SUBSTITUTE it. They know it is the personal name of God, but some out of superstition, some out of fear of men, do not print it. You will find it printed all 6,900 times in the OT of the ASV, yet substituted in the NASB. I have seen a letter from the publishers of the NIV that admits they were going to use it, but didn't because of the loss of sales it would cause. Yes, there is no J in Hebrew. But we are speaking English, which is why we say Jehosophat, Joshua, Jehonadab, Jehu, Jeremiah, (and all the other names that contain Jehovah in the definition) with J's in English. If we say Yahweh instead of Jehovah, we must be consistent. |

29 | If a man is married to an American wife | Bible general Archive 2 | MAC702 | 112574 | ||
The apostle Paul clearly states in 1 Corinthians 7:12, "If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and yet she is agreeable to dwelling with him, let him not leave her" Even if separation were caused by the unbelieving wife, he has no grounds for divorce unless she commits adultery.-Matthew 19:9 Romans chapter 13 also applies in a Christian being obligated to the ruling authorities and the laws of the land. See earlier answer about polygamy. |

30 | Why is the ground declared holy? | Ex 3:5 | MAC702 | 112573 | ||
Good question. In referencing Galatians 3:19, it shows that the Law was transmitted through angels. In the giving of the Law by Jehovah to Moses, it just plainly says that He told Moses the Law. So, apparently it is leaving out HOW Jehovah did so, but is later learned in a comment by the apostle Paul. In reality, the HOW is not nearly as important as the Law itself, and I wouldn't argue you one way or the other. It can make sense to apply the same HOW to most circumstances when Jehovah spoke to men, but this deatil should probably have been skipped for lack of substantial evidence either way and no great discussion value. But "Lord" is from the Hebrew ´Adho·nai´ Jehovah (from YHWH) is used completely separately in the Old Testament; compare the original ASV, instead of the newer NASB. Even in the NASB, you'll find places where sometimes LORD is in all-capitals, and sometimes not, yet both might be referring to Jehovah God. There is a reason. You may make this a separate thread if you wish, or I would welcome a E-mailed format which would be easier to get into more lengthy discussions. |

31 | What does 'Mountain of God' mean? | Ex 3:1 | MAC702 | 112560 | ||
Here's one way to look at it. All mountains belong to Jehovah God by reason of his being their Former. (Ps 95:4; Am 4:13) However, the words “mountain of Jehovah” or ‘of God’ often apply in a special way to mountains where Jehovah revealed his presence. These include Mount Sinai or Horeb (Ex 3:1; Nu 10:33) and the mountain associated with Jehovah’s sanctuary.—Ps 24:3. | ||||||
32 | Why is the ground declared holy? | Ex 3:5 | MAC702 | 112557 | ||
A place is made holy by the presence of Jehovah. (When appearing to men, he manifested his presence by means of angels representing him; Ga 3:19.) Moses was on holy ground as he stood observing the burning bush from which an angel representing Jehovah spoke to him. (Ex 3:2-5) Joshua was reminded that he was on holy ground when an angel, the prince of the army of Jehovah, materialized and stood before him. (Jos 5:13-15) Peter, referring to the transfiguration of Christ and to Jehovah’s speaking at that time, called the site “the holy mountain.”—2Pe 1:17, 18; Lu 9:28-36. | ||||||
33 | Is marriage when you sign a paper ? | Heb 13:4 | MAC702 | 112463 | ||
That's a good question and the answer (which is also already in your heart) applies to MANY things in a Christian's life. Read Romans chapter 13, the gist of which states that Christians are to live lives in the full legal manner of the ruling authorities. I'm assuming you're in the US, or at least another country which clearly defines marriage as a civil union that must be recognized by the State. The only exceptions to legal things are where they conflict with God's requirements. Having a legally recognized marriage is not in conflict and therefore required by Christians. | ||||||
