21 | Heavenly or Earthly Messengers? | Gen 32:1 | skccab | 213930 | ||
Good morning Savannah, Thank you for the response. I think you may be right since there doesn't seem to be any further mention of these particular "messengers".... Have a great day! Cheri |

22 | Heavenly or Earthly Messengers? | Not Specified | skccab | 213925 | ||
Shalom y'all, In Gen. 32:1, the "angels of God" - is the original word melech? Messengers? These are just "messengers" from Esau, right? They are not actual angels like the ones that approached Abram just before the destruction of Sodom and Gommorah, right? (I have that ISA Basic program but it's difficult to use sometimes, and this time it didn't give me the word I'm familiar with.) I'm just a little confused :o) Thanks for the help Cheri |

24 | After information about the vessels. | 2 Chr 5:1 | skccab | 213913 | ||
Shalom Wymer, I don't know what kind of time you have to invest in your quest, but there is a fine Old Testament teaching website that covers the books chapter by chapter, and very often verse by verse. The link is: http://www.torahclass.com/download.html You can download, stream, or just read the text files of the teachings (there are also PDF files to supplement the audio teachings). Beginning in Exodus around week 25 (give or take) Mr. Bradford goes over in detail all the parts, vessels, utensils, different fabrics, etc. of the Wilderness Tabernacle - what they are, what they were used for, how they relate to God's Messiah... Have fun in your studies Cheri |

25 | does it say Jesus is a personal God | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 213817 | ||
Shalom Lovemylord, Well, let's see....from Gen. 1:1 to Rev. 22:21??? The very best passage that comes to mind is Rev. 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me." Can't get much more personal than that!! Cheri |

26 | Study Bible | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 213617 | ||
Shalom Fcs, I personally use a very simple bible with just center-column references. When I hit on something hard to understand, then there are the commentaries (Christian and Jewish) to be looked into. And, of course, right here on SBF, can be found great insights! There are many benefits for not having a "study" bible - one being it is much smaller and easier to carry around, the print can then be much larger while still keeping the book quite manageable. Just as when I was in college, it was cheaper to buy used textbooks but it was also too easy to get lost in the previous owner's notes rather than my own. Soooo, even though it cost me more in money, a plain new book gained me more in productive study and learning.... :o) Cheri |

Dear PO Box, The answer is in the Book. Read. Study. We, as Christians, cannot be a part of cheating, even if it's only the cheating of yourself the joy of learning. The mom in me will tell you the very same thing I told my younhg'un - an honest best-effort D is far better than a dishonest, unearned A. Cheri |

29 | How Holy Is Marriage? | Matt 16:6 | skccab | 213590 | ||

Shalom Inwright, It wasn't a controversy in "the church," it was in the Jewish community. The Jews couldn't understand how Gentiles fit into God's plan of salvation apart from physical conversion and mikvah (i.e., circumcision and water immersion). Paul's teachings appeared contradictory to the Law (it wasn't but it was somewhat contradictory to the Rabbinic interpretation of the Law) so - confusion and controversy. Read the book of Acts, and do some digging - clean, comfortable archeaology, finding nuggets and true treasure. Life is good. Have fun. Cheri |

31 | How Holy Is Marriage? | Matt 16:6 | skccab | 213580 | ||
Shalom Alway learning, I've stayed out of this conversation so far, but maybe I can clear up at least one of your questions. You asked Val (and I'm sure she'll probably give you a better answer), "These things I write only to ask why is it these folks must turn away from and not practice “their” sin without considering our own “repetitious” sins? How am I justified in my adulterous marriage?" You made a vow before God when you married the first time (or maybe you weren't a true believer at that time and maybe I'm wrong but I don't think you can make a vow before a God that you don't know...?) but this marriage was also a vow that you did make before your God Whom you know, the King of the Universe. To break this vow would certainly be sin. The two people that you are concerned about have NOT made a vow before God. Do you see the differences? Your's and your spouse's union is in harmony with His word and will and vows have been made and accepted between the three of you. The two people in question are not in a union in harmony with God's word and will, no vows have been made before God, nor accepted by Him. I, too, have had many very good friends in that kind of a union (two of my bosses from years ago were married, in their minds, to each other; I roommated with a bisexual, a homosexual and one man who had gone thru the transexual operation all at one time - that was a very interesting year to say the least!!), so to a point I can feel what you're going through. These people are so deceived, have such dark blinders on, and the rest of the world's views only tend to deepen their blindness, and it just leaves those of us who care for them hurting, and seemingly at a loss...But our God is brighter than their darkness if we will just stand our ground. Love them, love them with everything that's in you, but in loving them, you don't have to accept and approve of their lifestyle. We have to stand strong in what the Word says. If we begin making allowances in one area, pretty soon, Christians will look no different from the world. Remember, God loves the homosexuals, not the homosexuality, the sinner but not the sin. Just like a heterosexual single person must live a celibate life - so must a homosexual live a celibate life (if they believe they cannot change - and that's something I won't dispute, I don't think anyone scientifically can). Sorry I couldn't help further, but from what I understand of your situation personally, you are not living in sin with your new spouse. Cheri |

Shalom Beja, We, here at SBF, are pretty good at "correctly" reading typos, no need for apologies. Lol. I have truly enjoyed following your posts, very insightful and compassionate. Cheri |

Shalom Insearchof, For the most part, most "why" questions require pure speculation...this one also. My 2cents worth is this: everything else God separated was opposites - light/dark, land/water etc. - but when He separated the waters He divided something that needed no division except to make room for man. So, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good (to Him) either (notice Rev. 21:1b). :o) Cheri |

34 | Did God bless the beasts as well | Gen 1:25 | skccab | 213429 | ||
Hiya sis, No problem. I meant to wish you a happy new year but I thought of it too early, then I must admit that I forgot it.... :o( So - A belated Happy!! I can't give anymore ideas on this. Since MJH mentioned the Hebrew wording, maybe there's something there. I'll bring it up to my pastor (we're going thru the book of Genesis anyway). He teaches Hebtew, so maybe he can enlighten us? I'll let you know what he says this weekend. :o) Cheri |

Shalom Justme, That was a very interesting post. Thank you. I now use the NKJV, but everytime I have to go look up a scripture out of e-Sword, I have to use the KJV cos that's what is in my memory. I never can remember the other versions' rendering of passages... Yes, God truly has used the KJV. :o) Cheri |

37 | Did God bless the beasts as well | Gen 1:25 | skccab | 213300 | ||
Shalom Azure, That's an excellent question. To the 2 passages you used, they separate the different creatures: air and waters and earth. Man is more than an animal but we are "upon" the earth with the beasts, so it's quite possible that the blessing to man could spill over to anything else that walked or crept UPON the earth...?? This is just speculation, but do you think maybe He didn't bless the beasts on the earth specifically because He knew one of them would cause the havoc that took place after He had finished His work (Gen. 3:1)? Thanks for setting my brain to task....:o) Cheri |

38 | Please explain 2nd Kings 4:8-17 | 2 Kings | skccab | 213234 | ||
Shalom Nitsa, This is one of my favorite stories. I'm not sure what you don't understand and unfortunately I can't give you any deep hidden meaning to it (except maybe be kind and helpful to all cos you never know when you might be caring for one of God's angels :o) ). I pretty much take it at face value. There was a man of God, Elisha, Elijah's successor, who travelled thru the area often. A couple used to take him in when he was in town and the wife decided to make a permanent place for him to stay as he'd travel thru, a place where he could leave his things in safety. She was apparently much younger than her husband and would be left alone at his death, and in those days a widow without a son to help care for her could find herself in dire straits. Soooo, Elisha, wanting to thank her for her unwarranted hospitality, found out what she desired and needed most - a son. He was a prophet of God, his word was good - as she soon found out... I love the rest of the story too! Cheri |

40 | Abraham and Abimelech | James 4:2 | skccab | 213226 | ||
Thank you MJH!! I really liked that!! I asked, realizing, unless I'd missed something, that the answers would be mostly speculation - but you managed to do both. The fact that Abraham was still childless was known, and yet, I managed to not make the connection of praying for another to get what he himself wanted so badly!! So, again, Thank You!! (Isn't it grand, that when we need them, thru SBF we have 2 or more pairs of eyes and 2 or more brains?) Shalom Cheri |
