21 | Moses in Ex 4:16 was called 'elohiym? | Ex 4:16 | eklektos | 174526 | ||
Greetings goldtrade, Welcome to the forum! God spoke to Moses and Moses spoke to Aaron. So to Aaron and what he heard from Moses was as if he heard it from God Himself. Elohiym is not used here as if Moses was Diety, but to Aaron, it was as if Moses was. And Aaron was Moses' mouth. Now Aaron wasn't really a mouth just as Moses' wasn't really God but he was used in place of Moses' mouth. Exo 4:16 (KJV) "And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God." The prepositions, "instead of", used in this verse, means "in place of" or "as a substitute for". Perhaps if this is read from a different version the use of elohiym may be clearer. From the Contemporary English Version: Exo 4:15-16 “Aaron will speak to the people for you, and you will be like me, telling Aaron what to say. I will be with both of you as you speak, and I will tell each of you what to do.” Hope this helps some, eklektos |

Greetings Mandi, Welcome to the forum, glad you came by. This question must be pressing on you or you would not have come forward with it. The StudyBibleForum is dedicated on questions and answer concerning Scripture; book, chapter, verse, and topic, etc. Mandi, your question has more to do with psychology than with Scripture and therefore we must refer you to your Pastor for this type of counseling. He is given to be the Shepard of the flock and you can go to him with this type of question and he should be able to help you in this matter. The Internet is not a very good doctor. The StudyBibleForum is not formatted to receive this type of question nor able to give a definite answer due to the fact that we can not have a face to face conversation with all the participants. We do hope you understand and ask that you return with any Bible topic or verse question(s) you may be having problems with. Addendum: The Scriptures say by the mouths of two or three witnesses. I was just about to post a reply to you and saw that our fellow brother BradK has already posted a great response to your question. by Grace, eklektos |

25 | fasting | Bible general Archive 3 | eklektos | 174388 | ||
Greetings Corin, It would be good for you to open your Bible and read about these men and why they fasted. These are not difficult questions: About Daniel's fast The Scriptures do not specificaly say why. About Jesus' fast read Luke 4:2 About Elijah's fast read 1 Kings ch19 The Scriptures is God's word to us, to get to know more about Him you will have to read and study His word. Yes, a man can go forty days on a fast. Notice who did this, Jesus, Moses and Elijah. These fasts were for Very Special reasons. One would have to be unwavering in his spirit to perform this. These were special men called of God for special purposes. eklektos |

26 | Fasting | Bible general Archive 3 | eklektos | 174386 | ||
Greetings Corin, Most likely you are referring to Daniel's mourning fast: Dan 10:2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks. Dan 10:3 (ASV) "I ate no pleasant bread" - Margin, “bread of desires.” So the Hebrew. The meaning is, that he abstained from ordinary food, and partook of that only which was coarse and disagreeable. "Neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth" - That is, he lived on bread or vegetables. It is not to be inferred from this that Daniel ordinarily made use of wine, for it would seem from Dan. 1: that that was not his custom. What would appear from this passage would be, that he practiced on this occasion the most rigid abstinence. "Neither did I anoint myself" - The use of unguents (bathing) was common in the East, and Daniel here says that he abstained during these three weeks from what he ordinarily observed as promoting his personal comfort. He gave himself up to a course of life which would be expressive of deep grief. Nature prompts to this when the mind is overwhelmed with sorrow. Not only do we become indifferent to our food, but it requires an effort not to be indifferent to our dress, and to our personal appearance. (Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible) Note: parenthesis in the text above are mine for clarification. It is up to you how you will perform your duties during your fast. There is not set formula. eklektos |

Greetings Corin, There is one kind of fast - no food. A personal note: - when you decide to fast to the Lord God of Creation, follow through with it, it is similar to a vow, a personal contract between you and God. eklektos |

28 | Fasting | Colossians | eklektos | 174381 | ||
Greetings Corin, 1. You asked: "How many types of fasting are there in the Bible?" Fast, Fasting Depriving oneself of food for a period of time for a specific purpose, often spiritual. It is the "weakening" of the body in order to "strengthen" the spirit. It is interesting to note that sin entered the world through the disobedience of eating (Gen. 3:6). We are called to fast in the N.T. (Matt. 6:16 ). (See also 1 Kings 21:27; Psalm 35:13; Acts 13:3; 2 Cor. 6:5). (Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry [C.A.R.M.] www.carm.org) The length of time for a fast varies from one day, Darius, king of Persia (Dan 6:18) to 40 days as with Jesus (Mat 4:2), Moses (Exo 34:28) and Elijah (1 Kings 19:8). 2. You asked: "If somebody restraint from watching movie is that consider as fasting?" Movies have nothing to do with fasting, it always involves food. The length of time for a fast varies from one day, Darius, king of Persia (Dan 6:18) to 40 days as with Jesus (Mat 4:2), Moses (Exo 34:28) and Elijah (1 Kings 19:8). 3. You asked: "What shall we do while fasting in order to get the best result from God?" Although fasting is used to show our consecration to God and asking for His Divine will to be done in special cases, it is not a magic tool for getting what you want. Be "dedicated" to the reason for your fast and God will reward you. Mat 6:16 When you go without eating, don't try to look gloomy as those show-offs do when they go without eating. I can assure you that they already have their reward. Mat 6:17 Instead, comb your hair and wash your face. Mat 6:18 Then others won't know that you are going without eating. But your Father sees what is done in private, and he will reward you. (Contemporary English Version) There may be more information by using the "Search" tool in the upper right corner of this page.

30 | What is a diviners oak | Judg 9:37 | eklektos | 174359 | ||
Greetings Tumonsouschef, Welcome to the forum, Augur's Oak (Diviner's Oak) (From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) o'-gurs' ok: If we translated the Hebrew verb 'onen, "to practice augury" (see AUGURY) we should in Judges 9:37 for "the oak of Meonemm" render "the augurs' oak" as in the Revised Version, margin, for the last word is simply the part. of the same verb and means "one who practices augury," though there is some doubt as to the exact connotation of the word. See under DIVINATION. The English Versions of the Bible make this noun the name of a place; but no such place is known and the derivation and form of the word are clear and certain. We have a similar phrase similarly misunderstood by our translators in Genesis 12:6 where the "oak of Moreh" should be "the oak" (or "terebinth?") "of the diviner" or "augur," for moreh is also a part. (equals) "one who teaches" or "directs." Probably the same tree is meant, since in each ease the neighborhood is that of Shechem. The worship of trees, or rather the deity supposed to make them his home, has prevailed very widely. See W. R. Smith, Rel. Semitic.(2), 195; compare Judges 4:5; 2 Samuel 5:24 and "the oak of Zeus at Dodona. " In Judges 9:6 we read of a "matstsebhah, oak tree": the tree with an altar on which sacrifices were offered. The oak trees of Genesis 12:6 and of Judges 9:37, if two distinct trees are meant, would be trees which the Canaanites had been in the habit of consulting: hence, the name. (T. Witton Davies) The Contemporary English Bible uses this: "the tree where people talk with the spirits of the dead." Hope this helps, eklektos |

Greetings Corin, We will each have our own place in the Kingdom. Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. There will be One Glory, for there will be no need for the sun, for God Himself and the Lamb shall be the Light.(Rev 21:23) Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. by Grace, eklektos |

Greetings Corin, The concept of a "Semitic" peoples is derived from Biblical accounts of the origins of the cultures known to the ancient Hebrews. Those closest to them in culture and language were generally deemed to be descended from their forefather Shem. (Quoted from Wikipedia.org) You can read more about this using the link below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic You wrote: "Am i right to say those outside from bible were non cannonized christian texts?" Basically, that is correct. by Grace eklektos |

34 | Moses, Elijah and Enoch | Gen 10:1 | eklektos | 174305 | ||
Grettings Corin, The Days of Moses: (Deu 34:7) And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. The Lord buried Moses: Deu 34:5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. Deu 34:6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. Yes, Enoch and Elijah were taken up - (translated). Enoch: Gen 5:23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: Gen 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. Elijah: (2Ki 2:11) And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. You asked, "Is it possible for a human with his corruptable flesh enter to Heaven which acceptable to our Holy God?" No, we must be changed to a spirit body. (Contemporary English Version) 1Co 15:50 My friends, I want you to know that our bodies of flesh and blood will decay. This means that they cannot share in God's kingdom, which lasts forever. 1Co 15:51 I will explain a mystery to you. Not every one of us will die, but we will all be changed. 1Co 15:52 It will happen suddenly, quicker than the blink of an eye. At the sound of the last trumpet the dead will be raised. We will all be changed, so that we will never die again. 1Co 15:53 Our dead and decaying bodies will be changed into bodies that won't die or decay. 1Co 15:54 The bodies we now have are weak and can die. But they will be changed into bodies that are eternal. Then the Scriptures will come true, "Death has lost the battle! 1Co 15:55 Where is its victory? Where is its sting?" 1Co 15:56 Sin is what gives death its sting, and the Law is the power behind sin. 1Co 15:57 But thank God for letting our Lord Jesus Christ give us the victory! by Grace, eklektos |

Greetings Corin, There is an article that may give some light written by Cooper P. Abrams, III. "The Origin of Race". Web address is: http://www.bible-truth.org/race.htm#005 It is easy reading with Scriptural support. As with anything one reads on the Internet, it must be in parallel with the Scriptures.

36 | How does Hebrews 10:26 fit my problem | Heb 10:26 | eklektos | 174220 | ||
Greetings Noveta, I affirm BradK's value of the forum in your situation. Here are some offerings from some learned men on Hebrews and Psalms you listed. Heb 10:26 "Which is not to be understood of a single act of sin, but rather of a course of sinning; nor of sins of infirmity through temptation, or even of grosser acts of sin, but of voluntary ones; and not of all voluntary ones, or in which the will is engaged and concerned, but of such which are done on set purpose, resolutely and obstinately; and not of immoral practices, but of corrupt principles, and acting according to them; it intends a total apostasy from the truth, against light and evidence, joined with obstinacy."(John Gill's Expostion on the Entire Bible) Heb 10:26 "This is the meaning of the apostle, and the case is that of a deliberate apostate - one who has utterly rejected Jesus Christ and his atonement, and renounced the whole Gospel system." (Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible) Paul gives as an example in Heb 10:28 "He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:" which references to Num 15:30 "But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people." (presumptuously is the key word) Apostasy - the dilberate action of willfully turning away from something once believed. Psa 139: "The psalm relates to the omnipresence of God, and contains such reflections as would occur to one meditating on that attribute of the Deity. It is the most distinct and full statement of that doctrine which is to be found in the Hebrew Scriptures, and the doctrine is presented in language which has never been surpassed for sublimity and beauty. The leading idea in the psalm seems to be that of comfort from the fact that God is everywhere; that he knows all that pertains to us; that we can never be hidden from his view; that he has known us from the beginning; that as he fashioned and formed us - making us what we are - he knows all our necessities, and can supply them." (Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible) eklektos |

37 | What does new wine in old skins and new | James 1:5 | eklektos | 174216 | ||
Greetings Kenmo, One needs a bottle before you can fill it. As in the first creation, God formed man first, then, filled him with life but then death came by sin. When we accept Christ, and believe, we have passed from death unto life. (John 5:24) We become a new creation (2Cor 5:17) a new wineskin (bottle) has been formed. So now, in this second creation, this new creation, that God has formed, He fills with His Living Spirit. The old wineskin, the unbeliever, the old nature, will not accept this new wine, the Gospel, and it will be disastrous (the old bottle will burst) in the end. For it would be better for them not to have heard the way, the Gospel, than to reject it. (2Pet.2:21) Jesus knew the hardness of the Pharisees hearts (the old wineskins) and thus He spoke this parable to them. They didn’t understand why Jesus’ disciples didn’t fast because they couldn’t see beyond their own self-righteousness. (also another parable to the Pharisees about not coming for the righteous but the unrighteous while He was eating with the publicans and sinners). Hope this loose paraphrase of the parable is helpful. eklektos |

38 | Singular vs. Plural? | Eccl 12:1 | eklektos | 174214 | ||
Hi Tim, Being known that the Creator is three in the singular and the Master is three in the singular; the plural usage could give way to wrong thinking and a tool for dissension. I had a thought that the translators may have done this to ward off any Polytheism arguments that may have risen. Thanks Tim, eklektos |

39 | Singular vs. Plural? | Eccl 12:1 | eklektos | 174212 | ||
Hi Forum, Any technical thoughts on the usage of the singular; why the translators may have done so? Ecc 12:1 KJV , NASB, ASV uses "Creator", singular, vs. the plural "Creators" as in the Hebrew. Also, in Isa 54:5 "Maker" vs. the plural "Makers" as in the Hebrew. eklektos |
