22 | KJV question | Gen 34:19 | lookinforacity | 203867 | ||
Thomas: Nice to find someone else that keeps to a KJV only opinion. Shechem was more honorable, because he said I love this girl, and I want to do the right thing, by marrying her. He knew he had done wrong, and had disgraced her. He wanted to make her his Queen, but in killing Shechem, and all the men, her brothers disgraced her by making her have a child out of wedlock, making her child a bastard. While her brothers, on the other hand, were treacherous, plotting to kill Shechem, and his men. Now remember that they both lost their inheritance, in the promised land. The Tribe of Simeon,was included into the tribe of Judah, and the Tribe of Levi became the Priests, thus becomming the servants to the whole tribe of Israel. Those 2 portions of land, were given to the sons of Joeseph. Ephraim, and Manasseth. |

23 | Jewish Calendar ? | Leviticus | lookinforacity | 204795 | ||
Why do we, as Christians, NOT use the Jewish calendar? 2008, 5768. Would it not be helpful in our studies, instead of using B.C.-A.D. |

24 | Jewish Calendar ? | Leviticus | lookinforacity | 204801 | ||
Hi Tamara: Thank you for the quick response, but it doesn't quite answer the question does it. If all of the first leaders of the faith, were JEWS then how, why, did it not stay? It was there calendar, seems from what you answered. First it was a Pagan, Caesar, then a Pope. It was the Church, that has changed things again. Seems like the Church was more interested, in the seperation from anything Jewish.Also the starting point of Christianity, than the correct date of Easter. More or less a break with the Jews. Didn't the Early church, hold the Jews responsible for the Crucifixion of Christ, and persecute them, like they did in the Spanish inquisition? If we kept using the Jewish calendar, wouldn't Easter always fall on Passover? In HIM JIM |

25 | homosexual brain wired that way at birth | Lev 18:22 | lookinforacity | 205783 | ||
Hi believer53: Some people have the belief, Homosexuality is the most heinous sin a person can commit, because of the word abomination connected with it. Strange because when we read, verse 23 says Mammilla, is only confusion. Seems to me they are coequal, well if we look at the whole chapter, verse 6 through 23 everything mentioned is abomination. Verses 24 through 30 tell us WHY, because in so doing the LAND is DEFILED. We as Christians, need to start calling, the acts mentioned here for what they truly are. ALL OF THE CUSTOMES MENTIONED IN THIS CHAPTER, FALL UNDER THE HEADING OF IDOLITRY. Last but by no means least, look at the very last sentence in the chapter. "I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD" God telling them again, you shall have no other gods before ME. GOD BLESS Jim |

26 | Disobedience to God - Why? | Num 20:11 | lookinforacity | 204350 | ||
Hi Inquire: These verses are pretty much self explanitory, It seems as though God was angry with them, because they didnt do as they were told. They also made themselves equil with God in saying, (WE) as though him and Aaron were the ones getting the water. God told him to speak to the rock, he hit it twice, that sounds like Moses was angry with them,and in showing anger to them he was in essance saying that God was angry also. 7And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 8Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink. 9And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him. 10And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? 11And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. 12And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. |

28 | 2Kings 3:16 version discrepancy, ESV/NAS | 2 Kin 3:16 | lookinforacity | 203938 | ||
Hi Psionspace: As far as I am concerned, the answer to your question is. Some of these other translations, arent translations at all, but interpretations, with a little bit of commentary thrown in. The following are the same verses, out of the KJV. I have also taken the liberty, to add another 2 verses, from the next Chapt. they were in the center referance for the purpose of clarification, and similarity of events. 2 kings 3: 16,17 16. And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches. 17. For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts. 2 kings 4: 3, 4 3. Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. 4. And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. The similarity is in the fact, that God performed a mirical, as would also be done with the fishes, and loves. I hope this helps you. I know your question was about why this kind of thing happens, I just wanted you to see that there are better translations than the ESV and why. |

Hi again Psionspace: Hope Im not bothering you but, Im courious. I personally have used the KJV since I got saved, and have never felt the need to study any other trans. I use a Strong's concordance, and a Greek interliner bible, in conjunction with the KJV, the only other book I use, is the Matthew Henery Commentary. I use it sparingly, most times just to see what things were believed way back in our brief history. sorry for any inconveniance. have a happy! ! |

30 | Embrace the truth and rejoice! | Ps 119:103 | lookinforacity | 204542 | ||
Hi John: I thought of the word (delight) , these are the ones that came up, couldn't think of any better things to delight in. Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. Psalm 112:1 Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands. Psalm 119:16 I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word. Psalm 119:24 Your statutes are my delight; they are my counselors. Psalm 119:35 Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. Psalm 119:47 for I delight in your commands because I love them. Psalm 119:77 Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight. Psalm 119:92 If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction. Psalm 119:143 Trouble and distress have come upon me, but your commands are my delight. Psalm 119:174 I long for your salvation, O LORD, and your law is my delight. Romans 7:22 For in my inner being I delight in God's law; God Bless Jim |

32 | Age of accountability? | Is 7:16 | lookinforacity | 204089 | ||
Hi Child: Here are another 2 cents worth, by the time this is finished, you'll be rich! Anyway, my opinion, information, and a little bit of assumption thrown in for good luck. We are talking about a verse that is in the Old Test. Isaiah 7:16, that puts it into a Jewish belief when this age is, in the Jewish religion, a boy comes to the age of accountability, at his Bar-Mitzva. That comes to the age of 12. We can't look at things in the Jewish world, and try to figure them out, in a Gentile world mentality. Like in Revelation, how many of the things spoken of, relate only to a JEWISH TIMETABLE, if we dont understand the timetable to start with we will never come to the knowledge of the truth. |

33 | A physical discription of Jesus Christ | Is 53:2 | lookinforacity | 204756 | ||
Hi WWAT: It doesn"t mean much, but the Jewish people are discendants of the Caldeans,(Iraqi's through Abraham) plus when they were in Egypt, (410yrs.) they intermaried, so I would tend to believe, that Jesus would resemble a combination look. Not much help but close. Have a GOD BLESSED DAY Jim |

34 | May we claim rewards for tithing? | Mal 3:10 | lookinforacity | 205614 | ||
Hi rdarden1: Sounds like you said, we as Christians should not Tithe, is that right? Not to be smart about it, but how far does your paycheck go each week, with all of the needs you see all around you? Is he working powerfully through you? I do see your point though,I also agree with alot of it. But look at the whole context, if you understand how it all worked, then it doesn't matter if the Church gets the tithe, it doesn't go for the things you object to. The Tithes were to be in the storehouse of the Temple, for the POOR, WIDOWS, ORPHANS. GOD was supplying food to those, that did not have a way to get it themselves. As you see in the context of the issue of tithes, GOD was speaking to the whole Nation. GOD said bring ALL the Tithes. IMHO, The Churches of today are responsible for this work, they are the representatives of GOD, to the City's they are in. God says they are cursed for NOT Tithing. So on who does the Curse fall if we don't tithe. It all depends on HOW FINE a LINE you want to draw. TIM'S Church is a Prime example of what a Church Should be doing , can we imagine if all of the Churches in any given City, (GOT TOGETHER) and did the same thing. Why do Churches always operate separately? MALACHI 3: 8-11 8) Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9) Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, (EVEN THIS WHOLE NATION) 10) (BRING YE ALL THE TITHES INTO THE STOREHOUSE.), that there may be meat in mine house, 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. 11) And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. GOD BLESS Jim |

I fully understand what, and why you do it the way you do. I personally think of it this way, where 2 or more are gathered in MY name, there will I be in the midst of them. Does that constitute a church? If you and your wife agree as touching anything, Does that include your Tithe? We as believers ARE Priests, over the things of God, they had the responsibility to distribute the Tithe out of the storehouse, to the needs of the people. If you see it not being done the way God wants, then we are to follow GOD not MEN. GOD BLESS Jim |

36 | Can we enter the Kingdom now? | Matt 6:33 | lookinforacity | 204120 | ||
After the entire discourse of Jesus Mtt.6:25-32, why are we at the end of it told. Mtt.6:33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. In relation to all of the things Jesus was talking about in verses 25-32, which are Temperal things, things we are told not to worry about are we to believe, if we seek His kingdom, we can enter His kingdom (NOW), here on Earth, in other words, live in his Kingdom, before we die? There isn't any break in the narrative, it just finishes with the admonition to seek, or can we take the seek, as another commandment of Jesus. We are told not to worry about tomorrow, if we do exactly as we have been told, would that be called walking by Faith, if so are we then in His kingdom? |

37 | Can we enter the Kingdom now? | Matt 6:33 | lookinforacity | 204225 | ||
Point 1, People were getting saved while Jesus was walking around by repenting of their sins to God and believing that Jesus was God (Jews understood that Son of Man meant the Messiah, and that the Son of God meant equality with God the Father as Jesus being also God) answer) Where and when were the terms (Son of Man, and Son of God) first used, ( in the New Test) other than to the Disciples, Scribes, Pharisee, in other words to the general public, where they, according to your reasoning, knew what these terms meant in relation to him, and thereby identifying him as Messiah? Point 2, Jesus told Pilate that His kingdom was not on earth, that means it was a spiritual kingdom answer) John 18:36 Jesus answered, " My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm." Your right, at the point he declared his kingdom to Pilate, he said that his kingdom was not of this REALM. He didn't say (Earth) he said (World) was he identifying the WORLD, as a spiritual place? Earth on the other hand was a created place. We today use these two words interchangeably, but it seems he was making a clear distinction between the two. Point 3, Therefore whoever gets saved is entering a spiritual kingdom. answer) Do you agree with this scripture, as a good way of saying this is how we get saved? Where does it say, we enter a spiritual kingdom when we get saved? Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Let me try to put this into words. Salvation is the first step, in the Christian walk, when we accept Jesus Christ as our SAVIOR. Baptism, the in filling of the Holy Spirit, the empowering of his people to walk in the Spirit. Jesus Christ becomes our LORD, Master, King only after baptism. The kingdom of God is a Spiritual Realm. We do not automatically enter the kingdom, upon our salvation. You need to be baptized, in order to see, and enter the kingdom. ( Words of Jesus Christ ) Flesh, and blood cannot inherit the kingdom. (Words of Jesus Christ) Therefore we would have to be in the Spirit in order for us to inhabit the kingdom. That which is Spirit, is Spirit, that which is Flesh is Flesh. Sorry it took this long to answer your post Have a God Blessed Day |
