281 | justme, does the OT need sac for the 10C | Ex 20:10 | justme | 53647 | ||
Searcher: I care enough about you to say I respect you, I feel you are doing what God wants you to do. I am glad we are children of Christ and we are both a part of that family. I am greatfull to learn of your thoughts, and I hope you feel the same toward me. It is not important to me that we agree on everything. So we see things in a different way, and I accept that. I will never cross the line that leads to disrespect. Blessings. agape, justme |

283 | Why can't I have several wives? | Ex 21:10 | justme | 102321 | ||
headdoc5: Welcome to the Bible Study Forum. I get a kick every time someone asks this question. Let me ask you a question or so, ok? Why would you want more than one wife? Every example of polygamy in Scripture proves to be a real sad story of wives fighting, hating, or hating the other wives children. The children have many problems, and the dumb husband plays favorites with the wives and children. Why on earth would anyone want such a mess? Lastly what makes you think that any where in Scripture God said to take more than one wife with his approval, or direction to do so? I might be wrong but when I have heard this befoe this persumption was based on sexual fantasy. If polygamy was acceptable, could you explain what adultery would be then? I would like to know your reasoning in response to my questions. Blessings justme |

284 | complications caused by sex | Ex 22:16 | justme | 105792 | ||
Ryan: That was the fastest response I have ever had from a posted note. 2 Corinthians 6:14 is the basis for Christians and the relationships we have in marriage, business, and lifes choices. However when a unborn child is involved this makes the situation much deeper to work through. Would it make a difference if the man was a Christian and the woman a unbelievre? How about the woman a believer and the man an unbeliever? As These are serious considerations that will last forever, and how we react will have an impact for life! Recerational, playboy sex is taking fire into our soul. God has a plan that makes lasting joy. But satan tempts mankind into what appears to be what will fill our needs aand give us pleasure, but only for a brief time. I hope this helps, any thoughts? Blessings Ryan. justme |

285 | Tattoos | Leviticus | justme | 232206 | ||
jwmx925: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. The OT has some verses that some say don't apply to us today. I think Leviticus 19:28Is in a section of Scripture that laws that are there for our own best good. Why would we think this verse does not apply to us today? The verse is not for our salvation, but for sorta of metamorphosis in our desire to fully commit outwardly to Christ. This of course brings the question of what does someone with tattoo's that are nasty or clearly not something a christian would not want exposed, do? Perhaps keep then covered, or more drasticly have them removed. I think even a christian Tattoo goes against the core of Leviticus 19:28. We do not ignore the ten Commandments because they are in the Old Testament, and neither should we ignore the verse in Leviticus. Sadly there are those who are Christians that have no tattoo's who go and get them. This gets down to what gives God glory? I beleieve not having a tattoo gives God the best glory. Circumcision was an act of obedience and sign of the Covenant. Today we have a sign circumcised heart Romans 2:29, Colossians 2:11. Today physucal circumcision of males is not for a mark of salvation, but by personal choice of the parents. There are some religions (Jews for one) who still preform circumcision as an essential of salvation. Blessings. justme |

286 | Unclean food for the Christian? | Lev 1:1 | justme | 105596 | ||
Asken: I refer you to Acts 10:15. By this verse you can see Peter had the same concern as you. Perhaps the better question is if you feel it is wrong for you to eat or drink some food then for you to partake would be wrong, am I not correct? Luke tells in Acts that we should be wise in not causing those who are weaker in their faith to stumble. I have a very dear friend who is a seventh Day Aventist. Out of sincere respect for him I did not eat things that he considered wrong. Not because I felt eating something was wrong, I knew it was offensive to him. Perhaps it is a matter of kindness and respect for others we need to be cautious. Not just in what we eat but in our action people also make judgements about our faithfulness. Blesings to you. justme |

287 | Eating in the Sancturary? | Lev 10:18 | justme | 218814 | ||
nhoward06: You might be interested to know the Vineyard a large group of Churches in the US and Canada allow eating and the drinking of different beverages, coffee, tea, Coke, ect. Some Calvary Chapels allow drinks as well. I am sure other churches do as well. Personally, I have serious dry mouth due to medications, and have a drink with me most all of the time, and that includes church as well. justme |

289 | Are tatoos allowed? | Lev 19:28 | justme | 228241 | ||
Magie: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. It is few and far between that someone give any thought to the User info. especia;;y on the first post! Thank you! The others have given you the Old Testament verse about Tatoos, so no need to repeat that. However with you experiences in college I am sure you too have seen that many men and women are tatooing their bodies in every place a tatoo can be put. Today in our culture perhaps more than fifty percent of the people under fourty have a tatoo. I can remember a time when anyone with a tatoo was considered a rebel, and the tatoos reflected that rebelious spirit, with vulgare tatoos. I think unless a tatoo can refect that we are Christians, a tatoo is unwise. We are bought with a price, the Blood of Jesus. If we are bought by Christ than we are His ans any mark on us should reflect we belong to Jesus. This gives anyone reading this something to think about,hey? justme |

290 | what does the bible say about tatoos? | Lev 19:28 | justme | 232433 | ||
Popcorn33: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. I have dialogued about tatoo's on another Christian forum a number of times. Almost always the person wanting or actually having a tatoo, the answer "yes it's just fine", comes back with that verse in leviticus is in the old Testament and therefore it does not apply to us today. With that kind of reasoning, then why not say the Ten Commandments do not apply today? I hope you get my point, many Christians don't use the wisdom of the Holy Spirit in seeking wisdom and common sense. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Tells us we have been bought with the price, Jesus bought and paid our sin debt with His Blood and his death and ressurrection. In verse 19 we are told we are the Temple of the Holy Spirit. We often see tatoo's with satanic, deviant, macabre, pornographic, so called art work on non christians, and Christians who had tatoo's before they got saved. Some tatoo's defies the Holy Spirit. When Christians who get tatoo's either do not know or rejects being the temple of the Holy Spirit. Some have said "but its a christian tatoo. The Lord clearly left no exceptiom in Leviticus 19:28. I knew of a young man who had the symbol of the German Army in WW2 tatooed on the top of his head. He always shaved his head. After be surrendered to Christ he always wore his hair long enough to hide the tatoo. In closeing tatoos are wrong to have. A person should keep them covered or if he or she can afford to have it removed that would be the better option. lusyme |

291 | kids salvation | Num 14:29 | justme | 223641 | ||
cook13: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! Scripture does not give a specfic age, say like 13. So if that's the certian age you are looking for it is not something we can say is the same for everyone. my belief is when a person becomes able to understand who Christ was, and why Jesus needed to die for our sins, and that this person is a sinner by choice is the age. Ultimately Yahweh is who is able to judge what that is for each person. I most assuredly can not speak for the Lord, but brain damaged persons who function with little cognative developement would be under the wings of salvation. I believe Scripture in Romans 1 teaches awareness has is part of accountability you are seeking to find. Most assuredly I believe the Mercy of the LORD extends to those children who are unable to comprehend the Good News of Jesus Christ. Enjoy the Forum, perhaps this will guide you in you study. Please inform us if you need more information or have some input or further questions. justme |

292 | The Sacred Romance | Num 28:11 | justme | 97432 | ||
VerticalRelationship: I noticed that my brother, John Reformed addressed your question as if you were a husband. I read some of your other notes, and I looked hoping to find out in your Update User Info. So.... I am not sure if you are the husband or the wife asking this question. However, either way could you tell me who publishes the book and any back ground on the authors? I would like to give you an honest answer but some more information is needed, please. Blessings. justme |

294 | Could God have created a better way? | Deuteronomy | justme | 92509 | ||
Everlearning: Duet.29:29. This verse makes it clear theere are some things known only to God. Consider what it ment for God to give us freedom to choose. Why did He do that? In order ogive free will there comes with that the free will to be exactly what the term says. This is an honest answer, that I believe the Creator Lord God Almighty knows the complete reason for His design. Blessings. justme |

295 | DEUT 15:1 AS THE END OF EVERY SEVEN YEAR | Deuteronomy | justme | 103357 | ||
GeorgeG: Welcome to the Bible Study Forum. This is a good question. This was for Israelites only, not required for loans made to foreigners. This was a requirement of the Lord Almight, so there would not be the destitute poor who were Israelite. AS one studies this the question of were any loans made in the 6th year comes to my mind. Perhaps a shrewed loan maker would be protective of the money he loaned out with the idea that any money left owing whould have to be lost, might have been a factor. I also noticed that our Federal laws do allow for debts to be discharged every seven years in Bankrupcy Courts. I wonder if the length of time was taken from this history. However this passage canceling of debts was not intended to protect unwise or careless use of funds, but to help those in need. This was intended for a showing of mercy and forgiveness. This is what Christ foes for our confessed sin today, but instead of every seven years we can be made clean by confession (1John 1:9). This was one of the Major Social Concerns in the Covenant of sixteen listed areas (NIV Study Bible. This practice may have overlaped into perhaps AD 70, but I know of no record beyond that time. I hope this helps, and if you need more information, let me know. Good to have you with the Forum. justme |

296 | Is being remarried an eternal sin? | Deuteronomy | justme | 106512 | ||
BlindFaith: Scripture forbids them to divorce their present partners, and remarry their former partners. The sad fact is that divorce always causes problems, many times more problems are created than were done away with. The best advice is for them to confess their sin and live as they are. justme |

Nick: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. 2 Corinthians 12:10 might be what you are looking for or if not the right book this might be close. Hebrews 11:33-34 might be a place to look at too. Philippians 4:11-13 is an excellent place for great encouragement. These are a few of the places I go to for strength. Blessings. justme |

298 | Gender?? | Deut 6:4 | justme | 86796 | ||
petethemate: Fantastic question, and you have brought out a good response from the Forum. The LORD Almighity is YHWH in Hebrew. In some English Bibles the YHWH is translated YEHWEH. YEHWEH says that the personality of Yahweh is like a mother hen, showing a very lovinf nurturing Lord, and YEHWEH also shows a very strong protector. Neither male or female is YEHWEH, yet shows the very best of both male and female trates. Consider that YAHWEH made both male and female in the very image of YAHWEH. In translating this to humanity Scripture was given in the forms we cand understand, male and female termology. I hope this helps and nor messes up the understanding of others who have given their views. Any thoughts? justme |

Jeremiah: You seem unhappy with the way Lockman Foundation has set up this Study Bible Forum, and the Moderators that have been selected to oversee this forum. You either agree to follow the forums guidelines, or respectfully in a Christian like mannor leave and find a forum you can fit in better. In doing so you show your Love for Christ and follow Jesus command "By this all men will know you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." John 13:35 NASB and with that I say Merry Christmass, and peace be with you. justme |

300 | A retrospection on Rev. Falwell | Deut 11:26 | justme | 190343 | ||
00123: I wish you had something in the Update User Infor on yourself, it helps to know how to direct our response better. Romans 14:22 cautions us to be wise in what we give our approval to or of. Both Robertson and Falwell have had huge ministries, and impacted politics and Christianity. They both have spoken for large groups of Christians. Being human, they both have made and said some serious mistakes. Both men have served the Lord and accomplished things that most Christians could never do in a lifetime. The truth is everything that happens in our world is in someway connected with sin, be it 911 or any other event that God is not glorified. Robertson and Falwell do not have to answer to the Lord for my life. Onthe same token no one will answer for these two men, with the Lord. I would say that am not in agreement with their mixing politics and their ministries as they did, they both brought light to some issues that might have been kept in the darkness, without their exposing the sin in these situations. Dr. James Dobson seens to have thr responsibility to take the helm, and show light into the darkness of evil at this present time. I seriously believe rather then finding fault with genuine born again Ministers in the public eye, we would be far better spend time praying for our Christian leaders on the front line. Blessings. justme |
