2741 | Only seal and horse in same verse Rev6:5 | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 19954 | ||
Good morning. The material I was referring to was the biblical numerics that you mentioned. I think the information you have shared concerning the numbers is correct, but I wish to caution you in the way they are used. For instance, when reading books on how the Old Testament tabernacle and priesthood were pictures of Christ and His work, I would share with others what I found and tell them this was the truth. When they asked for clarification, I couldn't do it, because I did not yet understand the reasoning behind the pictures or types. You presented many numbers as fact without giving explanation, so people questioned if you knew what you were talking about. Both of our situations made us appear foolish. (I'm not saying you don't understand the numbers, just that you didn't explain them.) I do understand the parable of the sower. I just don't understand how you can dogmatically state that stigma was changed from the shape of a cross to something else. Steve |

2742 | Why? | Exodus | srbaegon | 19953 | ||
I base it on the fact that throughout the history of Israel, polygamy was the exception rather than the rule. But as you have stated: One assumption would be as valid as the other. Steve |

2743 | Explain Genesis 6:2-4 | Genesis | srbaegon | 19868 | ||
The account certainly fits, doesn't it? I have pondered this for some time, and it seems to be a logical conclusion. Steve |

2744 | Adam, Eve, plants, animals - what order? | Genesis | srbaegon | 19866 | ||
Steve, My general principle is to resolve these issues as best as possible within the text itself. Sometimes it impossible, like in Gen 3 when God tells Eve, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth." Wait a minute! How would she have a reference to compare to? Did she have children before the fall? As for the timing of the last day, I reconcile it this way. God made Adam; God brought one of each beast of the field and bird of the air to be named (Notice it's not one of each animal. There are only two subgroups mentioned.); God made Eve. I think that could work within a 24-hour period. Steve |

2745 | Does it take away sins or not? | Lev 16:34 | srbaegon | 19857 | ||
You're right, it wasn't plainly stated in the articles. The intent of the author was to demonstrate that the proper view of these issues is a middle ground. I know this because I've met his son (J. Boyd Nicholson, Jr) who pretty much follows the same path. Steve |

2746 | Does it take away sins or not? | Lev 16:34 | srbaegon | 19854 | ||
Actually, I've seen a 3rd option in print as editorials in Uplook magazine. Here are the URLs. http://www.gospelcom.net/uplook/magazine_uplook/viewarticle.phtml?id[equals]103 http://www.gospelcom.net/uplook/magazine_uplook/viewarticle.phtml?id[equals]118 Where you see [equals], put the equals sign (no spaces).

2747 | Did Moses have a second wife? | Exodus | srbaegon | 19835 | ||
I had not thought of it before, but it certainly looks Like a second wife. Zipporah was a Midianite (Gen 2) making her of a different tribe of people than the Cushite. Also, we need to be careful about Moses' marital status when this took place. Scripture does not say whether or not Zipporah was still living. My guess is that she was not. Steve |

2748 | Why did Joseph sell grain in Egypt? | Genesis | srbaegon | 19834 | ||
1) It was Egypt's grain, so those who were not Egyptian should be expected to pay. 2) Storage houses had to be constructed and maintained during the seven years of plenty. This cost needed to be repayed. 3) As a steward of Pharaoh's dominion, Joseph was obliged to do things in such a way that was to Pharaoh's benefit. Does this help? Steve |

2749 | Adam, Eve, plants, animals - what order? | Genesis | srbaegon | 19825 | ||
Concerning the vegetation, notice that chap. 1 is speaking of vegetation in general and chap. 2 is specifically speaking of the plants and shrubs of the field. In the OT you'll find that "of the field" relates primarily to agricultural things. God wants Adam to grow the vegetables, berries, grapes, etc. himself. That's his job. This is reinforced in chap. 3 where God punishes Adam's farming work. As for the trees there are two possibilities: 1) God made a few more trees, or 2) Gen 2:9 is reiterating a statement of fact already mentioned in chap. 1 in order to give reference and relation of the garden, Adam , and the famous trees. I believe the latter is correct. The same type of thing can be said of the timing of the animals and Adam. 1) God either made a few more to bring, or 2) it is a restatement of fact (God created the animals), and He was now bringing them to Adam. Again, I believe the latter. Steve |

2750 | Only seal and horse in same verse Rev6:5 | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 19824 | ||
I know of the Companion Bible but have never seen one. Does Bullinger's notes and appendices reflect some of the same material you have shared here? Now that I better understand what you are saying, we have agreement on several things. I still cannot agree with your contention that the stigma in 666 is the cross. In both my Newberry reference Bible and my copy of the Textus Receptus, the final character is shaped like a final sigma (upside-down 5 or "s" with a large head). I think Strong's intent of referencing 4742 was to demontrate the that there were different "stigmas" or marks--the cross being an example of one. It's not the only example. In the English language we have had the same type of thing. We "make a mark" as a signature if we don't know how to write. We "make a mark" to cut a straight line in a piece of timber. We "make a mark" to identify something as our own. Steve |

I am quite well, thank you. Thank you for quoting the verse I had in mind when I asked the question. As for alternation and introversion, I looked up the words. To restate this now, I believe you to be saying that Scripture is internally consistent, because we see many writers giving the same basic message. Am I correct again? Or was there something I may have missed? Steve |
||||||
2752 | Only seal and horse in same verse Rev6:5 | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 19642 | ||
So, you are saying that what was written by the different Scripture writers are God's words and not the words of the writer. Am I correct? Steve |

2753 | who was the author of the book of Isaiah | Isaiah | srbaegon | 19630 | ||
I always went with the tradition answer -- Isaiah himself wrote it. Check out this web site: http://www.xenos.org/classes/isaiah/isweek2.htm I found this and other good sites using www.google.com and searching for "isaiah" and "authorship". Steve |

2754 | Ezekiel 36:26 | John 3:5 | srbaegon | 19612 | ||
I did not forget verse 28. Had the nation of Israel accepted what the Lord was bringing this would have been fulfilled completely. As it is there is a partial fulfillment with the completion yet future. Steve |
||||||
2755 | Ezekiel 36:26 | John 3:5 | srbaegon | 19565 | ||
The Lord Jesus applied Ezek 36:25-27 in His conversation with Nicodemus. It's speaking of the new birth. Steve |

2756 | Bible and evolution both? | Gen 1:1 | srbaegon | 19542 | ||
Hello Steve and welcome, As you may have discovered, we who take a literal approach to Genesis 1 and 2 can be rabid. Earnestly contending for the faith, you understand. I hope we have applied more light than heat to this topic. BTW, someone must have known you have would turn out to be a wonderful person to give you such a great first name. :-) Steve |

2757 | The different theories of Creation | Genesis | srbaegon | 19538 | ||
Here's the end result of some research I did some time back. It's not extensive, but I believe everything is covered. A. Old Earth Theories Evolutionary systems - Naturalistic evolution is a God-less system claiming that life came into being and developed into increasingly complex forms with man being the current apex. The universe is purported to be billions of years old based on various radiometric, astronomic, and geologic readings and calculations. Theistic evolution on the other hand attempts to insert God into the evolutionary process. This response makes religious overtones but leaves God as a distant figure creating the fundamental building blocks and letting natural law do the rest. Day-age - This model refers to the days of Genesis 1 and 2 as meaning extended periods of time rather than a literal 24-hour day. 2 Peter 3:8 is generally used as a proof text to show how God can work differently in relation to time and space, thus allowing the “days” of creation to be identified with the eras of the geologic column. Revelatory day – Also called the Pictoral Day theory, this metaphorical interpretation of Genesis suggests that on six consecutive days God revealed to Moses what occurred during the creation of the universe. Gap theory – This attempts to show that God created heaven and earth at some point in the distant past (1:1) later having to be judged (1:2). Speculation is that this is when Satan was cast out of heaven (Isaiah 14:12; Ezekiel 28:16). Finally, the earth is recreated (1:3). Isaiah 45:18 is used to argue that God would never create an uninhabitable world at the outset. B. Young earth Literal interpretation – The days in Genesis are twenty-four hours in length. God performed separate and distinct acts of creation on each of six successive days demonstrating His absolute sovereignty over His creation as well as revealing the majesty of His person and the greatness of His glory by increasingly complex deeds. This creative work ended with man into whom God breathed the breath of life (2:7) thereby distinguishing him from all other animal life (cf. 1 Corinthians 15:39). The world underwent no major changes from the seventh day until the Noahic flood save for the consequences of Adam’s fall (Genesis 3). This view gives the best account of creation being supported by the text and empirical evidence. Steve |

2759 | How to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit? | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 19459 | ||
Good questions. I hope I have good answers. Sensitivity to HS--Gal 5:16-26 speaks of walking by the Spirit. As you have guessed, there is nothing mystical about this. There is a need to study the word, meditate on it, and be obedient to it. This allows the Spirit to use the Scriptures to change us. Meditation--If repeating a verse over and over was correct, we could get as much done by repeating our phone numbers. It's a bit more. In meditating we "chew on" the Scriptures. We work it over in an effort to understand it. We ask questions: Who is it written to? Why was it written? What is being taught? How do I apply it? (Psalm 119:15, 48, 78, 148) Steve |
||||||
2760 | Can anyone help me with Isaiah 43? | Is 43:1 | srbaegon | 19454 | ||
Your assumption is incorrect. This is yet future. It is speaking of the final ingathering and deliverance of Israel. Steve |
