21 | leave when violent..? | Mal 2:16 | greentwiga | 144083 | ||
I married an apparent believer, one who even went through Bible school. I saw the danger signs and ignored them to get married. very destructive relationship. Out and remarried after ten years single. I studk with God's plan this time and just praise him. He blesses you if you just hold to his word and wait on His timing. Greentwiga |

22 | what does the bible say about divorce | Mal 2:16 | greentwiga | 144057 | ||
Very good. I separate 1 Cor 7:8 where Paul says "I say" from 1 Cor 7:10 where Paul states a command from God. I carefully watch between Paul's commands and God's I am glad you do too Greentwiga |

23 | what does the bible say about divorce | Mal 2:16 | greentwiga | 144055 | ||
The Christian, the more spiritual christian, ie the reader. In this case, it is the woman. Though I believe that the principal applies to both, of the battered spouses, the vast majority are women, so this verse is appropriate Greentwiga |

24 | leave when violent..? | Mal 2:16 | greentwiga | 143949 | ||
Yes, that is an area we disagree. I use verse 11, not ten to say they can leave if they have to, but can't remarry. If this last desparate act gets the spouse to get healed, the marriage is saved. If he remarries or has sex with another, only then is the person free. I do not see the covenant as broken due to violence. Scripture just does not say that. Staying single or being reconciled is a harder row to hoe, but I have done it and advocate it. Greentwiga |

25 | what does the bible say about divorce | Mal 2:16 | greentwiga | 143948 | ||
Gently, my brother, gently. I agree, he left what scripture says. See if you can get a return to scripture with a gentle response first. I love your scripture reference, and I use it for those who try and manipulate the rules on divorce to force the other to commit adultery, and thus feel free to remarry. They have to take heed. Very good. Greentwiga |

26 | what does the bible say about divorce | Mal 2:16 | greentwiga | 143947 | ||
This is a loving response from your heart. I have heard people use this logic to say abusive and drug addicted people have broken the marriage, so the spouse is free to remarry. I understand your and their motives, but I limit myself to exactly what scripture says. Therefore I stick with 7:11 for freedom to leave but not remarry. | ||||||
27 | leave when violent..? | Mal 2:16 | greentwiga | 143946 | ||
See my response to her. | ||||||
28 | leave when violent..? | Mal 2:16 | greentwiga | 143945 | ||
Unfaithfulness and adultery are the same thing. The third reason for freedom to remarry is if an Unbelieving spouse leaves. There is another reason for divorce mentioned in the Bible, but one that does not allow freedom to remarry. In 1 Cor 7:10-11, it says if a wife separates from her husband, she must stay single or remarry him. This allows the abused wife to leave. If while waiting for him to get healing, he remarries or has sex, she is now totally free. Remember, though, God is not fooled. If a person by withdrawl of sex is trying to manipulate the spouse into adultery, out of desperation, the Bible is clear. In this case, Both commit adultery on remarriage. Matt 5:32, 19:9. God understands desperate situations and allows a way out. I do not advocate staying single lightly. I was divorced, did not meet the standards for freedom to remarry, and fought and won the battle to stay celibate. Later, I did meet the standards and was able to remarry, but after ten years of being single. It is hard, but trust God, He gives the victory. Greentwiga |

29 | married moms working full-time | Proverbs | greentwiga | 143404 | ||
Prov 31 is my favorite set of verses for honoring women. Running a business, buying and selling property, stocks, bonds (well that one is stretching it, but you get my point.) She is praised above other women. greentwiga |

30 | Israel's land | Genesis | greentwiga | 143085 | ||
The river of Egypt is a small river also known as the Wadi of Egypt, smoewhat southwest of Gaza (40 miles) The Jebusites was the people of the city of Jerusalem. Some of the obscure names are also names connected with cities. Some like the Canaanites along the coast and the Rephaites were spread over several cities. Some people like the Hittites and Amorites came from kingdoms far north, but it was the combined land that was given to Abraham. Notice the similar list in Gen 10:15-19. There the territory is described. There the northern extent was Sidon, the southern was Gaza, and the east was about the Jordan valley. What was promised to Abraham is very similar with the extension to the Euphrates. The kingdoms in the hills on the east of the Jordan valley. (later to be Moab, Edom, and Ammon) do not seem top be included. Greentwiga |

31 | Explain share in the glory of our Lord | 2 Thess 2:14 | greentwiga | 143028 | ||
Always look at the context. Paul is talking about suffering and deception. He is now making an appeal to stand firm. He refers back to their salvation. Now he refers to the future in heaven, the glory of the Lord. This brings to mind how he got his glory. Jesus preached the truth. Then he was faced with intense suffering. He prayed so hard to prepare himself, that he sweated drops of blood. Then he went to the cross and bore our sins and was separated from the Father, his true suffering. Research on share in the New Testament. We are to share in his sufferings and stand firm. How many can't even preach the Gospel because of mild verbal rejection. People have preached the Gospel during intense physical persecution. Stand firm so you might have great joy at his coming and not have your works burned up. | ||||||
32 | joseph, David, Jesus 30 years old. | Luke 3:23 | greentwiga | 143026 | ||
What is the question? Jesus was "about 30," probably 36 if we go by the 6BC census. The Bible frequently does not say about when quoting years like David, but sometimes shows that it was a rounded number. Joseph was 30 when he entered Pharaoah's wervice but may have been 50 when the years of the dream started, or when Jacob entered. greentwiga |

I Sam 16:6-11, I Sam 17:13, I Chron 2:13-17. Notice His Sister's three sons, Abishai, Joab and Asahel. Joab caused David much grief, yet he couldn't punish Joab because he was his nephew. greentwiga |

34 | What about tithing? | Numbers | greentwiga | 142912 | ||
We just had a long thread discussion on this last week. scan back. see Lev 27:30, Num 18:21, deut 12:17. Tithe is Hebrew for tenth. Some see 3 tithes and come up with 19 to 27 percent. I see one tithe that in one year out of three, (the year of the Tithe) was given away. The other two years, one took his tithe and ate it at the temple. When one gave the tithe, one shared it between Levites, widows. aliens, and poor. This results in a gift to the Levites of about 2 percent. This is shown in a Battle of Moses where 2 percent of the booty was given to the Levites, and a tenth of 2 percent was given to the priests. Of course, as Christians, we are free of the law, and should do better no matter whether you think the tithe is 2, 10, or 27 percent. Give with riotous Joy, as the New Testament teaches. greentwiga |

36 | do we eat our own tithe 2 years of 3? | Prov 3:9 | greentwiga | 142550 | ||
I have read the verses. Is Lev 27:20 right? Num 18:21 spoke of the tithe, but did not say how often it was give. the tri-annual titheis ten percent, but only once every three years. It seems to be a sacred meal that you do not eat. The other years, you yourself and possibly levites and aliens eat it together. I am confused on the 19 and 27 percents. It looks like one tithe mentioned several different ways, and only once every three years is it the year of the tithe, to be given totally away. Is it? This is a wonderfully complete response and I thank you for the time spent. greentwiga |

37 | ten percent once every three years? | Prov 3:9 | greentwiga | 142546 | ||
Interesting. The average giving is 3.33 percent (10 percent once every three years.) and maybe 2 percent goes to the church. Hmmm. Thanks | ||||||
38 | ten percent once every three years? | Prov 3:9 | greentwiga | 142537 | ||
You are right, it is ten percent of the increase. In The Deut 14:22 verse you quoted it says in 2 years out of three, the person who offered the tithe ate it. Only one year out of three did thay give it away. Then they gave it to the poor, widows, aliens, and some to the levites. Am I reading that right? Is there some other verse that says we are to give ten percent each year and all of it to the church or religious authorities? | ||||||
39 | Is tithe 3.33 or ten percent? | Prov 3:9 | greentwiga | 142528 | ||
I was reading on tithing in the Old testament and was puzzled. It seemed that only once every three years did the tithes get given away. The other two years, it was eaten by the tithers. Furthermore, the tithe of that year was to be split among the "church" (the Levites), the aliens, fatherless and widows. That works out to be a 3.33 percent tithe per year. Deut 14:22-28. This 3.33 percent tithe goes along with Numbers 31:30 where a 2 percent tithe of the spoils of war. Is there another passage on tithing that states ten percent each year? | ||||||
40 | What language did Jesus use? Read? Quote | John | greentwiga | 142527 | ||
When Jesus quoted the Hebrew Bible on the cross, people thought he was saying elijah. Only th most scholarly, apparantly spoke Hebrew. Greek was the trade language, much like English is in Kenya or India, or Sweden. Still that is not the daily language of any one group. When among all aramaic speakers, such as the disciples, some of whom wrote in atrocious greek, the best communication would be in Aramaic. When one has a choice between a habrew text that none understand, and a greek text that most understand somewhat, it makes best sense to quote the greek. That is how I understand the clues in the Gospel greentwiga |
