21 | May we claim rewards for tithing? | Mal 3:10 | TerryM | 2464 | ||
If God said it then we should take Him at his word. He has never failed yet. This is the only thing that God has asked they we test Him on, "and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it". |

22 | Where is Dan? | Not Specified | TerryM | 2461 | ||
Rev.7:4-8 lists the tribes of the children of Israal. These are the 144,000 who will receive the Seal of God. Why is the tribe of Dan not listed? In Numbers, Moses is asked to do a census and lists the original tribes. The Levites weres not counted in the census because they were appointed over the tabernacle. Dan was included in this census. Among those listed in Revelation, is the tribe of Joseph (which I take to include of the Ephraim). All tribes are accounted for except Dan. Can anyone give insight on this? |

24 | I need clarification please | 1 Corinthians | TerryM | 2458 | ||
I am confused (maybe it's becaues I haven't had coffee yet...smile), can you calrify your answer for me? Are you saying that God knew or did not know Adam was going to disobey Him? Are you saying that He knew those who were going to sin and that punishment was planned for those individuals? Forgive me if I seem a little dense, but I'm just trying to understand you. THANKS! |

AMEN!!! | ||||||
26 | Why do we not keep the 7th day Sabbath | Col 2:16 | TerryM | 2361 | ||
How else can we "rightly divide the word of truth" if we dont' study the word? You can not spread the gospel of Jesus Christ if you do not know it? You can not develop a relationship with someone you do not know? How else can we become effective doers of His word, if we dont' know what the word is? I think we need to do these things to accomplish the things God has ordained us to do. It is true that it is up to us to decide what kind of relationship to have with God. But I also believe that God desires to have a relationship with us. If not, then why would He ask us to "come unto Him"? There are no material things that we can manufacture or obtain that would be of any worth to God. I realize that. But praise does follow. But after searching the scriptures and applying them in our daily living and hearing the testimony of others and sharing our own experiences of His grace and mercies, we can't help but praise Him. For "if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out." |

27 | 3 days and 3 nights and Sabbaths | Matt 12:40 | TerryM | 2353 | ||
I believe Jesus is the Son of God , sent to die for our sins...He was crucified, buried and rose from the dead and will come back again. I feel (and this is my opinion)that exactly what day He was crucified, what day and time He arose, etc. is irrevelent. Sometimes we get caught up in all the details and we miss the point. (I am not referring to anyone here) I just feel that if the day, time and all that was to hold a specific level of importance, It would have said so in the scriptures. I know there are those that would adamantely opposed what I am saying. I too think this is interesting discussion, I just dont' want to miss the point. |

28 | Did God know Adam would sin? | Not Specified | TerryM | 2352 | ||
I was in a discussion yesterday with someone of the Jehovah's Witness faith. He made a statement that God could not have known that Adam was going to sin. If so, then why would God condemn Adam for disobeying. He said that would mean that God was not a loving God. Therefore, God did not know Adam would sin. I disagreed. This would be limiting God's power if He did not know something would happen. I believe that God knew Adam would sin. But He gave him the freedom to choose for himself whether to obey God. Just like we warn our children against some things and tell them the consequences of disobeying, God does the same with us. God, as well as parents, have to follow through on our words or they are ineffective. I believe God is an all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present God. It is us that fall short. I would appreciate your views on this matter. |

30 | Is inter-racial marriage biblical? | Deut 7:3 | TerryM | 2349 | ||
I agree. The Bible speaks of being "unequally yoked" but that is referring to marriage between a believer and an unbeliever. I have heard people take this passage and denounced interracial marriage. God was referring to religious differences, not ethnic differences. | ||||||
31 | Why do we not keep the 7th day Sabbath | Col 2:16 | TerryM | 2313 | ||
The purpose for MY worshipping on SUNDAY is to give the Lord the first of my time. I tithe MY time unto the Lord. That is a personal decision I made. Now that is not to say that is the only time I worship. Everyday should be a day of praise, worship and thanksgiving. I believe we were created to give God praise. I am also aware that God does need our study times, services, etc. But He needs us to do them. These are times that we develop our relationship with God so that we then may proceed to inform others about Him. 2Ti 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth". |

32 | Why did Jesus have to beborn of a virgin | Bible general Archive 1 | TerryM | 2049 | ||
Jesus was offered as a sacrifice for our sins. For a sacrifice to be accepted by God, it had to meet certain guidelines. The established the Law of First Things which is giving over the first born or first friuts as an offering. The sacrifice for this offering had to be a devoted thing (Lev. 27:26-28) - a clean animal devoted to destruction as a tithe offering. Lev. 27:27 also set forth the requirements for redemption. Therefore, the scrifice for man had to be a pure, devoted thing. In the Jewish culture, it is my understanding that lineage is determined through the mother. Because Jesus had no earthly father, He bypassed the genetic inheritance of sin. The term "Lamb' was given to Jesus because He was sacrificed for our sins. |

33 | 7th day | Col 2:16 | TerryM | 2047 | ||
Where is your scriputural reference for SATURDAY is the Sabbath? It says "Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God..." |

Smile. I didn't take it as an attack. I totally agree with you on all points. | ||||||
35 | GEt back up | Revelation | TerryM | 2008 | ||
I was not putting words in his mouth. I was asking him if he believed this. Hence, the question mark. I know people who truly believe that once you are saved, you are always saved and say it all the time. You can not speak for everyone on this. There are a lot of words that aren't in the Bible that we hold as valid (ex. Trinity, eucharist, usher, american). So are you saying that because that word is not in the Bible people can't "slide back into sin" (that is the meaning of the word). Neither do I base what I beleive on songs. I only referred to it as an example/definition. I was not refuting, disagreeing, or denying anything in his statement. I was merely asking a question or clarification on his part. I take my faith and my salvation seriously and for you to imply otherwise is an insult to me personally. I was in no way trying to be flip or argumentative...just curious. I am serve a God full of grace and mercy and believe that salvation is free to all who seek Him and forgiveness is avaliable who sincerly ask. Even to those who make mistakes. That is MY belief. I do nor will I force that on anybody else. If you dont' believe it that's fine too. But I know I have sinned and I KNOW I have been forgiven. Now...you tell the person who comes to you broken, seeking redemption and forgiveness from God that they are going to hell anyway. |

36 | Why do we not keep the 7th day Sabbath | Col 2:16 | TerryM | 1999 | ||
I never said the day you take off from work should be the day you worship on. Neither does it say that in the Bible. But most people take that scripture and say that you should work 6 days and and worship on the 7th. God never said which days to work, neither did He say which day to worship. He said work 6 days and rest on the 7th. Now if they day you should to worship is the day you take off, then so be it. I take off more than 1 day a week and I worship more than 1 day a week. Everybody can not have sunday off, that is why we have more than one service. I am a an advocate of Sunday worship because (and this is just my opinion) it is in line with tithing of your time. The Bible says give of the first fruits of yor labor. This could include your time. Sunday is the first day of the week (by our current calendar). I am giving the first of my time. That is a "tithe of my time. I also give an "offering" of my time through Bible Study, prayer services, choir rehearsal, women's ministries, church school, etc. |

37 | GEt back up | Revelation | TerryM | 1998 | ||
So you are of the belief that "once saved, always saved". Am I correct in saying this? If so, how do yo account for backsliders? You know, those people who are saved and fall. There is a song out now that sums it up beautifully... "A saint is just a sinner who fell down and tehn got up" (Get Back Up Again, Donnie McClurklan) |

38 | Why do we not keep the 7th day Sabbath | Col 2:16 | TerryM | 1910 | ||
The Bible tells us to remember tha Sabbath and keep it holy...we should do all our work in 6 days and rest on the 7th day. It never said which 6 days to work. (If I am wrong, someone please correct with the scriptural reference.) Neither does is explicitly say which day to worship. (Again, if I am wrong...)We are having this same discussion at church. I am of the belief that if you set aside at least one day for the Lord...give it all to Him, then you are ok. | ||||||
39 | 'Break up our fallow ground?' | Hos 10:12 | TerryM | 1909 | ||
Fallow ground refers to land that is unproductive...not yeilding fruit. He is saying to do all things with Christ in mind and strive toward salvation. Rain is used figuratively. Like "showers of blessings". He will pour out His righteousness on those who seek Him and do His work. |
||||||
40 | God's spirt | Revelation | TerryM | 1908 | ||
I understood this to be referring to man's mortality. That his days are numbered at 120 years. I don't this is a reference to God hardening His heart when men seek Him. God's spirit does not dwell with the dead. | ||||||
