261 | Tithing before Mosaic Law | Gen 14:20 | azurelaw | 217725 | ||
I believe this should be the first account in the Bible recording the 10 percent tithing. The second one is recorded in Gen 28:22. Both were not yet set in the Mosaic Law. Question: 1/ Was giving 10 percent a common practice in the ancient time? 2/ Under what condition was it exercised before the Mosaic Law? Thanks and Shalom Azure |

262 | John 10:30 vs 1 Cor 11:3 Contradiction?? | Revelation | azurelaw | 217671 | ||
Dear Lexus, Phil 2:6 John 1 Scripture clearly teaches that Jesus is God. "In the unity of the Godhead there be three persons, of one substance, power, and eternity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost:[38] the Father is of none, neither begotten, nor proceeding; the Son is eternally begotten of the Father;[39] the Holy Ghost eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son.[40] 38. Matt. 3:16-17; 28:19; II Cor. 13:14; see Eph. 2:18 39. John 1:14, 18; see Heb. 1:2-3; Col. 1:15 40. John 15:26; Gal. 4:6" --- The Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter II Shalom Azure |

266 | Comments re: doing a 40 day Daniel Fast | Daniel | azurelaw | 217365 | ||
Dear Brother Doc, Just to borrow a quote (I like it very much) somewhere in your old post concerning fasting: "Do you fast? Give me proof of it by your works. If you see a poor man, take pity on him. If you see a friend being honored, do not envy him. Do not let only your mouth fast, but also the eye and the ear and the feet and the hands and all the members of our bodies. Let the hands fast, by being free of avarice. Let the feet fast, by ceasing to run after sin. Let the eyes fast, by disciplining them not to glare at that which is sinful. Let the ear fast, by not listening to evil talk. Let the mouth fast from foul words and unjust criticism. For what good is it if we abstain from birds and fishes, but bite and devour our brothers? May He who came to the world to save sinners strengthen us to complete the fast with humility, have mercy on us and save us." --John Chrysostom Shalom Azure |

267 | "An eye for an eye" relevant now? how? | Luke 6:38 | azurelaw | 217274 | ||
Dear Brad, Scriptures: Roman 5:8, 1 John 4:7-21, John 14:15, John 17:26 Sorry for my butting in. I believe Doc will answer you. However, I would like to offer my 2 cents in the discussion. 1/ "...because of the love that he felt. It moved him so much that he would sacrifice his life for something." God IS love (1 John 4:8), but love is NOT God. Love is not something outside of God that He feels nor any men who are lovely that make Him feel the love or trigger Him to love. Hope I have not misread you. If so, please correct me. 2/ "...scriptural love is without feeling" As far as I understand Doc, he is not saying scriptural love is without feeling (but I will let him clarify for himself). I believe what Doc meant is that "feeling" is unreliable. Our love for God should be grounded in Truth (the Word - Jesus) and in knowing Him properly (1 John 4:7 "...and everyone who loves is born of God and KNOWS God). Only when we know Him properly, we may love properly. 3/ God demonstrates His love (Roman 5:8) for us through WORDS (the scripture) and DEEDS (Jesus and His Cross). I would recommend you the book "The Four Loves" (by C.S. Lewis) and the book "The difficult doctrine of the Love of God" (by D A Carson). [A short note on the book by D.A. Carson: I know it would not be proper to recommend a book I had not read to others. However, I have read some book reviews rating it highly commendable. In fact, I have been searching locally for getting a copy for my own reading, but to no avail :-( Therefore, I need to wait for my friend who is having a trip to U.S. that he might get me a copy.] Shalom Azure |

Dear Pastor Beja, I, too, will be praying for you and your ministry. Whenever there are disputes among brothers/sisters or denominations, 1 Cor 4:9b (...we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.) usually comes to mind. Shalom Azure |

Dear Grafted, Nothing new under the sun, sir?/madam? I don't think you comment "Why do you guys fight so hard against maybe learning something new?" aptly apply to people who are responding to this thread. Your example to show respect by calling Mike or Michael does not address the issue properly. For the Studybible forum is designed in English. While we are guests, shall we be more concern to follow the convention norm to communicate in English as a kind of respect to our host "Lockman"? I am not saying Hebrew or Greek words are not allowed. But I think the purpose or proper use of them should be for explaining or clarifying a certain word used during Bible study, e.g. when we talk about love, we might want to know what are the different kinds of love in the Bible. Then in this case, Greek words to explain the different kinds of love would be needed. So, the original question of the thread or those relevant posts are not asking the meaning of Jesus, Paul, Peter, etc. in Hebrew. Employing too much of them is rather confusing (see my post 192966) and I am afraid it does not help one's understanding if it is not used in relevant to the issue. If it is necessary to employ Hebrew/Greek explanation to tackle a Bible study question, by all means, do it. Else, the simpler the better :-) Shalom Azure |

Dear Rakpak, You may just view it (troubles) as a refining tool :-) In your western world, you have the proverb similar to us (Chinese)...."iron sharpens iron". In the process, fire sparks...burning smell... :-) Shalom Azure |

Dear Ptr, You are welcome. Isn't it great our Father is in full control of everything and in Him we find perfect love, peace, mercy and justice! My father died in an accident when I was about 12. I always thank God for His perfect protection on my mother, brothers, sister and me that no one can do. By the way, it would be glad to know more about each other if you would fill in your user profile. Shalom Azure |

Dear Jessica, You say : "he is very hsrd headed " "he also said that it says in the bible that all women are wicked and simple minded." What you've said in the above concern me much. I don't care (and you should not either) whether he professes himself a believer or not, take the advice of brother Tim Moran and Grafted in. Leave him immedately. You will not be regret. One day, he will abuse you with the claim that the Bible teaches him to do so. To prove you are not a wicked/simple minded woman, LEAVE HIM! Shalom Azure |

The test of life are to make, not break us. Trouble may demolish a man's business but build up his character. The blow at the outward man may be the greatest blessing to the inner man. If God, then, puts or permits anything hard in our lives, be sure that the real peril, the real trouble, is that we shall lose if we flinch or rebel. --- Maltbie D. Babcock |
