221 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | humbledbyhisgrace | 214939 | ||
Vintage, As a follow-up... The reason I point this out is due to the original question by bibleman12. He and/or his question at least seems to be trying to reconcile sin and why it's not considered sin that God tempted Abraham with. In his question you can see that from the start the view is tilted in that it has the understanding of God telling Abraham to "kill" his son. That is not what the scripture say but to our sin tainted minds/hearts we are easily lead astray by the simplest of words and/or deceit. So if we set out to reconcile this with the view that God told him to kill his son we are on the wrong road right from the start. Further complication is introduced when we seek to justify God through some technicality such as there was no law against murder when God told Abraham to offer Isaac as a burnt offering. Obviously you only have the written law in mind to make such a statement. The view skews reality and insinuates that murder was only a sin after the written law was established. That's a reverse of what is actually true. Murder has always been sinful. The example of Cain should help us understand that. Sin did not become sin because of the written Law! So if splitting hairs is what we need to do to gain an accurate understanding let's all split hairs so that we all might gain a proper understanding of His word! I'm okay with it! Some times I need others to split hairs for me :-) Again, from the scripture you used it clearly teaches there is no transgression of the law and that sin is not imputed. Neither verse you point to says there is no sin. Steve |

223 | Why was his heart hardened? | Ex 4:21 | humbledbyhisgrace | 163450 | ||
Greetings brother Edwin! Can you please expand on your statements? You said “When it says "the LORD hardened Pharoah's heart", all it means is that an allready hard man was made even harder as a result of what the Lord our God did to the land of Egtpt.” How do you come to this conclusion? What scriptures are you referring to? In Exodus 4:21 it says “The LORD said to Moses, "When you go back to Egypt see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your power; but I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go.” Not only does God say the He will harden Pharaoh’s heart, but He also says why He will do it. Thanks and God bless! Steve |

Good stuff Mark! This subject speaks well to the sovereignty of God does it not? And should give reason for many of us to praise Him for His mercy on us! Thank you holy and merciful Father! God Bless! Steve |

Hello Brother Edwin, I pray all is well with you today! Based on your original response to srinaldi I can only assume at this point you believe that God did not harden Pharaoh's heart. Please correct me if I'm wrong. In my opinion, it clearly says in Exodus 4:21 and the other verses that Mark pointed to in his post that God harden Pharaoh’s heart and the hearts of others. I do not understand how Ezekiel 33:11 and 2 Peter 3:9 change that? Can you explain how they would? Is He not justified in doing so? He is the sovereign almighty creator and He is not dealing with the innocent. We (mankind) have rejected Him from the beginning. We are all sinners (Romans 3:23). Even those of us that have been blessed to receive His saving grace are not worthy of it. But it was His will that we receive it. The way I see this, the sovereign God chooses to do with each of us as He wills for His purpose to bring forth His plan and to glorify Himself to mankind. The fact is, if God doesn't show us, mankind is not capable of knowing Him (1 Corinthians 2:14). Is it harder to understand that He hardened someone's heart then it is to understand the blessing of His salvation for those that He has given it to? Do we deserve His grace or do we deserve His wrath? |

Hi Brother Jeff, I like what you said "And I know myself. That God did save me is proof enough for me that He is merciful and full of grace". How true that is! The more you read God's word and see how corrupted and sinful man is, the more you sit there and say, yep that's me. Sounds just like me etc... And yet He showed mercy in spite of my ways and saved me. How humbling is that? How awesome is our God? How thankful we should be! Steve |

Hi Brother Edwin You said: "I have never said that the Lord did not harden Pharaoh's heart, What I am concerned with is the implications of this, and how it was done". Okay. I was basing that on your statements in your original post on the subject. Based on your original post I was under the impression that you did not think God had anything to do with hardening Pharaoh's heart. I see that you and Mark have had more to say on this subject. Also, Tim has added a post to the conversation that I think has a lot to say. Perhaps I'm wrong and completely misunderstanding your view but it has appeared to me you were over looking God's sovereignty in the matter. God bless! Steve |

232 | make no images,why cherubs on ark | Ex 20:4 | humbledbyhisgrace | 201729 | ||
Shofar, God did not say, "make no image". His word says “You, shall not make for yourself…” (Exodus 20:4 NASB). His commandment is speaking to idolatry. The creation of the ark was also commanded by God. He did not direct it to be created for mankind to worship it, rather it was created for Him! See Exodus 25:1-22. There is no contradiction in God! Agreed? Steve |

Thank you for your kind words shofar! I hope you find the discussions and study of God's word on this forum to be a blessing. It's a great place to ask questions and discuss the word as we all seek to understand it and grow in our knowledge of God! Stick around and learn with us! Enjoy! Steve |

234 | Will suicide condem my soul to hell? | Ex 20:13 | humbledbyhisgrace | 208115 | ||
sog, I agree with all who have pointed out to you of the error in the teaching "suicide is blasphemy of the Holy Ghost the unpardonable sin." But I'm also very interested in discussing the theology of what you have said beyond that. You say "You may reject God the father and the blood of Jesus can redeem you, you may drop the ball with Christ and the Holy Spirit can save you, but after the Holy Ghost there is nothing left." Could you explain this teaching please? Here is why I'm asking for clarification. You said in part "You may reject God the father and the blood of Jesus can redeem you" This verse comes to mind John 17:3 (NASB) "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." Then you said in part "you may drop the ball with Christ and the Holy Spirit can save you" This verse comes to mind Romans 10:9 (NASB) "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" That's just a quick sample of scripture that comes to mind when I saw your statement. The implications of the statement seems to me to undermine much we are taught in scripture! So if you would could you explain what you mean? Steve |

235 | Ex 33:11 contradicts Ex 33:20, Why? | Ex 33:11 | humbledbyhisgrace | 156217 | ||
Hey aapril1124, If you would, go back up and read verse 33:9. This is what Moses saw. God appeared to Moses as a pillar of cloud. Also, Read Exodus 19:9. How does the Lord tell Moses He will come to him on Mount Sinai? Also, read Exodus 19:18-19 - This explains how God revealed Himself on Mount Sinai. Hopefully, this along with Makarios's and Doc's post will help. |

237 | The sin offering - why a female lamb? | Lev 4:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 179236 | ||
Greetings Apollos! Here is a portion of Ray Steadman's take on it. You can view more information on his sermon here http://www.pbc.org/library/files/html/0505.html "The first distinctive of the sin offering is that it provided for both public and private sin. There were offerings available for those who had sinned as a group, and those who had sinned as individuals. You find this clearly delineated in this chapter. When it was offered for the sin of a group, or a public individual representing a group, then the offering always had to be a male. When it was an individual sin, the animal was a female. Verses 1-3:" And the LORD said to Moses, "Say to the people of Israel, if any one sins unwittingly in any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and he does any one of them, if it is the anointed priest who sins, thus bringing guilt on the people, then let him offer for the sin which he has committed a young bull without blemish to the LORD for a sin offering." (Lev 4:1-3 RSV) "And, again, in Verses 13-14:" "If the whole congregation of Israel commits a sin unwittingly and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they do any one of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done and are guilty; when the sin which they have committed becomes known, the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting;" (Lev 4:13-14 RSV) "In the case of a ruler or king, the requirement is given in Verses 22-23: " "When a ruler sins, doing unwittingly any one of all the things which the LORD his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty, if the sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish," (Lev 4:22-23 RSV) "But then when the common people sinned as individuals, Verses 27-28:" "If any one of the common people sins unwittingly in doing any one of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and is guilty, when the sin which he has committed is made known to him he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed." (Lev 4:27-28 RSV) "In Verse 32 another provision is made:" "If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish," (Lev 4:32 RSV) "So once again the distinction is made between the male, as the symbol of the ruler or the dominant one -- i.e., man in his right to have dominion over all things, as always symbolized by any functionary, any government official (a priest, a ruler, a king, etc.), or the whole group together -- and the female, as the symbol of the common person, the individual acting on his own, who is therefore in a relationship of support, of undergirding or following."

Greetings Deputy! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! Do a search on this web site on the subject and you will find some good info. Also, take a look at this link http://www.gotquestions.org/homosexuality-Bible.html Just as a side note, I personally do not agree with every view stated at gotquestions.org but this one is not bad.

No, your disagreement is not with me. I'm only repeating what God's word says of the matter. I agree with Him. We need only look at what he says and can with all confidence know that anything that contradicts His word is false. Also, consider wisely what you have said regarding your faith. I'm not sure what your intent was so I don't mean to put words in your mouth. But the way it reads, your faith is actually in since and not God. I mean you know harm but your post is absolutely contradictory to the word of God and even God himself. Again, I caution you to consider wisely your understanding. Steve |
