261 | The United Stated in the Bible | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 213005 | ||
Hiya Bro, I did re-read it. I think my problem is I just don't see any particular nation as posed in the original question being portrayed. And the quote just didn't seem to fit. As Peter once said about Paul, Doc can sometimes be hard to understand (so I guess we're both in pretty good company, Doc with Paul and his words, and me scratching my head with Peter, going "huh???") :o) And then later, it's "duh!!! Helloooo!!" Cheri |

Shalom Doc, I've already discussed this with John. I had trouble with the quote and the portrayal of any country in it. I got lost in it. As far as any assumptions, I go with Gen. 12:3 plus others that escape me at the moment. I believe that God views Israel and the nations. If we are born-again of Messiah then we, as individuals are viewed, individually, as part of Israel (and just as 10 righteous people could have saved Sodom, they can also save the nations in which they live today). But nationally, believing individuals may suffer along with those nations who rise up against Israel. I believe that Jer. 31:35-37 and 33:19-26 is still God's heart (concerning physical Israel and those who have spiritually joined themselves to Israel). He hasn't changed. I'm nowhere near as good at words as you are, Doc, so I hope I didn't mess this up too much.... :o) My main trouble, again, was the connection with the quote and the attempt to "see" any given country linked to it... Cheri |

Greetings Doc, OK, I'm with you now, I think. (Like I said, sometimes it takes me awhile....) I think I understand what you're saying now. Hope you've had a great Sunday. :o) Cheri |

264 | Bible software? | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 213176 | ||
Greetings akh, I use e-Sword, the software is free, much of the add-ons are free. It has numerous free bible versions, commentaries, etc. Some of the newer Bible versions are not free but they are very reasonable. The "search" feature will search what you're looking for according to the bible version you may have open in the program. Nave's Topical Bible is also available as a free add-on, and is ofter quite helpful in locating passages. :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 |

266 | creation | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 213439 | ||
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 |

267 | its a ckass excercise due sunday | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 213587 | ||
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 |

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 |

270 | 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 |

271 | 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 |

Shalom Eascusa, Just my 2cents worth: I've always understood that verse to mean that the generation living when "these things" begin will not die out before the great tribulation is ushered in...:o) (This would be allowing 80-100years for a generation.) Cheri |

Shalom Vintage, You've made some valid points, for sure, but in what context? There are some who believe that it all took place in 70AD and we are now in the 1000yr reign??? Of course, I would beg to differ. (If we are in a reign of peace, I sure would hate to see what a period of discord is like! lol) I'm prety laid back on the end times speculation, it's enough to know that I have a part in it, somehow, somewhere, sometime. For the present, my part is to make the life and breath God has given me today count for somethng, that He shines through. If you get it figured out, let me know :o) Cheri |

Shalom Chumba, Our brother Beja gave you a wonderful answer and I cannot improve upon it. I can only direct you to read further on in Rom 14 to verses 22 and 23. I have always held that if one has to ask if something is wrong, then it is probably wrong for that particular person. It could be that the Spirit is trying to speak to you personally or there could be someone within your "fold" who is being harmed. Either way, the "thing" should be done away with, or you wouldn't be asking about it. :o) Cheri |

276 | Did Adam / Eve know the meaning of evil | Bible general Archive 3 | skccab | 185440 | ||
Yes, I agree, Gill is very insightful. Also, here in these verses we not only have the first promise of Messiah, but we have the first foreshadowing of the work of the Cross - the blood of the innocent (the animals for their skins) covering the sins of the guilty. The Word is sooo marvelous! | ||||||
277 | Jude quotes Enoch? | Bible general Archive 3 | skccab | 185453 | ||
I, too, was interested in reading more about this book, as well as the other writings you mentioned. Maybe I can save you the time and effort - they fall drastically short of what we Protestant Christians are used to (I say Protestant because many of them can be found in the Catholic Bible). The ones that I read a bit from took me back 30plus years to my days of Hermann Hess's Sidhatha and Kahil Gibran's The Prophet. Beautiful books but just stories. Stick to the Bible as we are blessed to have. It's enough. Thank you for listening. |

278 | What is the star of David? | Bible general Archive 3 | skccab | 185994 | ||
Hi Doc and John, Might I add Bill and Gloria Gaither's lovely words on God and His Church? "God has always had a people. Many a foolish conqueror has made the mistake of thinking that because he had driven the Church of Jesus Christ out of sight that he had stilled its voice and snuffed out its life, but God has always had a people. The powerful current of a rushing river is not diminished because it is forced to flow underground. The purest water is the stream that bursts crystal clear into the sunlight after it has forced its way through solid rock. There have been charlatans who, like Simon the magician, sought to barter on the open market that Power which cannot be bought or sold, but God has always had a people - men who could not be bought and women who were beyond purchase. Yes, God has always had a people. There have been times of affluence and properity when the Church's message has been nearly diluted into oblivion by those who sought to make it socially attractive, neatly organized, and financially profitable. It's been gold-plated, draped in purple, and encrusted with jewels. It's been misrepresented, ridiculed, lauded and scorned. These followers of Jesus Christ have been, according to the whim of the times, elevated as sacred leaders and martyred as heretics. Yet through it all there marches on this powerful Army of the meek - God's Chosen People who could not be bought, flattered, murdered or stilled! On through the ages they march - this Church, God's Church Triumphant - Alive and Well!" Thank God for those that went before us to pave the way and show us that indeed God still has a People! And no matter how watered down some churches (the organizational part, the buildings) try to make the Word, there will always be a People of God. I intend to be one of them, and in your responses to others, I know you are too. Blessings Cheri |

Dear freedom, You posted before on the 1st of the month, pretty much the same thing. We are very sorry to hear of your troubles. Please help us to relate, where are you from? where did this take place, under what circumstances? And then what is the actual question in all that? Someone would be more than happy to try to answer, to help you understand. Blessings Cheri |

A continuation - If no one can give an answer for things so horrible, or help you understand - we can at least pray with you and for you that you may be strong. And we can let you know that not everyone who calls themselves Christian will hurt you. Most of us are what Jesus wants us to be - full of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness (Gal. 5:22). Blessings (and there are blessings for you too dear, for Jesus loves you so much) Cheri |
