41 | Thoughts on Hegg? | John 1:1 | skccab | 211634 | ||
Shalom MJH, You've been around the Forum long enough to know that this is not the place to expound on the good or bad attributes of any person we happen to personally like or dislike - This is a Bible study forum. Please email me (in my profile) and I'll be more than happy to talk to you about Tim or anyone else we may happen to have knowledge of :o) But just for the record: I didn't say I did not like him, I simply said that I was not a BIG fan... Cheri |

43 | Quries about Christmas? | NT general | skccab | 211600 | ||
Greetings and Shalom JB, Welcome to the Forum!! Firstly, be assured there is nothing wrong and everything completely right with celebrating the birth of our Lord - but Christmas IS NOT a God ordained celebration - it is man made (you won't find it anywhere in the Scriptures). It first came about back in the Emperor Constantine's time (3rd or 4th century I think). There are many others on this forum much better with the histroy of the Church and dates than I am and I'm sure they will add their info as they read this thread. Hope this helps in the meantime :o) Cheri |

44 | Why Sarah and her name consedered great | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 211582 | ||
Hello Nadege, Welcome to the Forum!! I'm most happy to realize that Sarah was not the "perfect" model of a perfect human being, not even a perfect woman - that leaves MUCH hope for me and all others who are not yet perfected!! As to why God falls so in love with particular people, we don't know, we just know that He does - Abraham, Moses, David, etc. Again, that leaves great hope for all the rest of us imperfect folk. I would have been very proud (the good kind :o) ) to carry on her name!! Cheri P.S. By the way, Abraham had the very wife that God had had in mind for him from the very beginning. |

45 | Was Job written before the flood? | Genesis | skccab | 211381 | ||
Shalom Glad2bcp, Welcome to the Forum!! What does CP stand for, glad 2 b what? Do you mind my asking? Now, to your question. There may be others with better information but I'll try to fill in the gaps till someone else can answer. It will just be human speculation, though :o) so don't quote me. The date, as far as I know, is not actually known but there are some things about the book that leads me to believe that it was written before the Exodus. The sacrifices were not according to the Books of Exodus or Leviticus, done by a High Priest, they were done by the head of the household, Job. His age matches that of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, etc. There is no reference to the nation of Israel, or to the Twelve Tribes, or to the Law of Moses. So it seems to be in the time period of Genesis after the flood (because of his age) to somewhere as late as maybe chapter 3 of Exodus, but I'd hold out for the time period from just after the flood's repopulation to sometime before Jacob's boys formed the 12 Tribes. Still learning also Cheri |

Shalom Ftlnbl, There are folks here more than happy to help answer a question for you but we need you please to be a little more specific? What book are you thinking about, which verses, what situation is going on that you're questioning. God gifts His with talents but mind-reading isn't one of them :o) Thank you. Cheri |

47 | I just started reading the Bible and.... | OT general | skccab | 211231 | ||
Pete, Sorry for the second post, but I missed this first time around and wanted to address it: "My third passage in question is concerning Matthew 5:38-48. Jesus said ignore the eye for eye, tooth for tooth code, instead, resist no evil, turn the other cheek, if a man sues you, give him more, go the extra mile, love your enemies, bless them, do good to them and pray for them that curse, hate, persecute and despitefully use you and you will be perfect as your Father in heaven." Messiah did not actually say ignore, He was addressing the fact of the mercy in that statement - in other words, let the punishment fit the crime. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth... simply meant that you don't give a 5-minute time-out for murder nor a death sentence for a lie. If, indeed, Messiah changed any of the laws of God, He had every right to do so. If anything, He showed the spirit of what the law was supposed to do. In Ex. 23:4-5 God said if your ENEMY'S animal of burden goes astray and you see it, you shall not turn away your eyes from returning it (I'm sorry folks my renderig, I'm at work) Later on we're told by God that if we see our enemy with his beast of burden falling under the burden, again we are not to turn away our eyes from helping him with his problem. Isn't that what Messiah also said, just in different words? Cheri |

48 | I just started reading the Bible and.... | OT general | skccab | 211225 | ||
Good evening Pete, I have been a member of this forum for about a year and a half now and also openly Torah observant (I never really was a closet observer - just a little humor there). That is, I observe what of God's commands as given in the books of Moses to the best of my ability. Some things just can not be observed. The moral law, obviously, is still intact. God made a big deal about being able to distinguish between the common and the holy, the clean and the unclean, that I, personally, believe that this is still important. Now, none of this has anything whatsoever to do with my standing with God, that was taken care of by His Son - I could do nothing in that area; but I can obey out of thankfulness and gratitude that which can be obeyed. Are you understanding? You were forgiven on the cross for any offenses that took place prior to your knowledge of your Savior, you were forgiven for any sin committed before that time. You are also forgiven for sins/wrongs committed, even knowingly -tho not continuing in them, since you've come to know your Lord. Your salvation, deliverance, sanctification, perfection, etc., comes thru the completed work of the Son. Not a thing you can do. Keeping Torah will NOT save you, won't make our Father love you more than another child of His, won't make you more sanctified, not more of anything. Just maybe happier with yourself. Just love your Lord, and follow His commands as you are able to do within the framework of the land where you live. In short, don't worry about what you CAN'T do, just do what you can do and be joyful in it. Colossians 3:17. That's all I can say. That attitude serves me quite well. I'm at work so I hope I didn't muddy the waters for you any more than they were!! Cheri |

49 | Difference between guilt and conviction? | Rom 2:14 | skccab | 211210 | ||
Shalom EQ1, We are learning (I would hope) to not take our Bibles and hit people over the head with it :o) Tho we have all done that in the past, I'm sure, at one time or another. Romans 8:1 There is therefore, now no condemnatin ... If what you are hearing brings condemnation and hopelessness it is not from your loving Father. He is not the One who condemns, He forgives, binds up the wounds and heals. If what you're hearing tells you something is not quite right but here's how to fix it, then that would be the Holy Spirit that dwells in you, for He is there as your Guide and Comforter. John 14:16-18, 16:8-11 and 13-15, actually all of John chapters 14 thru 17 would be good reading on the subject of condemnation and conviction. Cheri Cheri |

Shalom Ovadyah, Welcome to SBF. I hope you stay around and study with us. Your choice of screen name tells me that you already KNOW that Rabbi Sha'ul/Paul said no such thing!! It's just that we've been taught to read it that way. :o) If you wish to talk further offline, you are more than welcome to email me (it's in my user profile) Cheri |

51 | In the beginning God Made Adam and Eve, | Genesis | skccab | 211127 | ||
Good morning Marigee, shalom, Welcome to the Forum. First of all, you can just type in the "search" box on the upper right of this page, adam, eve, cain,able wives and you will get lots of posts to choose from to read. The main answer that you will get tho is that the boys married the girls of Adam and Eve, and this continued until the earth was nicely populated. There could be no other way. God "created" only the one man, and then made/created one woman from him Gen. 1:26-29 and 2:7, 21-25. As you read the Bible, it's easy to forget that it is not just a history of a people. From Genesis to Revelation, it's the Gospel of our Messiah, the Good News that God loves us. Not everything is addressed. It's a journey from the beginning of life to the Son of God to the end of life as we know it now. It's the story of our Savior, and our redemption. Cheri |

52 | SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 211125 | ||
Shalom FytRobert, That is a pretty big order since there are at least 4 different views. First of all though, God is not limited to a check-off list. He can come back any time He so chooses. :o) YEA!!!!!! One big event to me is Ezek. 37 where the houses of Ephraim and Judah become one house again. This began in March 2005 when the little groups of Israelites who had been claiming to be members of this or that "lost" tribe of the house of Israel (Ephraim) were verified by the powers that be in the land of Israel and were allowed to come home. (I have no idea what Israel's criteria is, but I would love to know it if anyone out there does.) Sadly, there are still some groups out there that do indeed fit the bill but they have also accepted their Messiah and Israel won't let them in the land. We need to pray for these people. Pre-tribs believe that He can come any time now, before the first 3 1/2 yrs of the tribulation, which is a good peaceful time. Mid -tribs believe that He will come about midway thru the tribulation, in which case the antigod dude will show himself, the temple in Jerusalem will be built (among other things to happen). Post-tribs believe that He won't come till the end of the 7-yr tribulation. Preterists believes He came back in 70CE and we are now in the midst of the "1000-yr millenial" (eh hem) reign. Which view are you interested in? Narrow it down and it will be easier to give you some sort of answer. Cheri |

53 | BIBLE TRANSLATIONS | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 211100 | ||
Shalom sirhighsmith, There is another bible out there that I've not seen talked about on this forum so far. If you particularily like the feel of the KJV language but have a bit of trouble with it (like me, lol) there is a bible called KJVER King James Version Easy Reading. It basically only changes the thees ,thous, seests, knoweths,etc and the really archaic words. ALL the words attributed to God and/or Jesus are in red from Gen. thru Rev. (and to me, that's a big help, especially in the prophets!!). Just go to Christian Discount Bookstore and type in The Sword or Whitaker House Publishers and you'll find it, it costs about 30 dollars. Also, the New King James is good, and so is the NASB. Cheri |

54 | Kill your brother and drink strong drink | James 2:10 | skccab | 211022 | ||
Shalom Pete, Welcome to the Forum. I hope you will stick around and study God's word with us. I'm at work right now so I don't know the exact verse, but I'm sure if you will read further, it states that you are to take the matter of your brother (or whoever) to the people in charge (the judges or elders or chieftans) and they are to DILIGENTLY search out the charges to see if they are true or not. And also, it's not talking about someone who just simply goes "psssst check this out..." it's talking about someone who comes in as one of your own and by his/her wiles leads you astray before you even know what has happened. Stay with the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament), they are a wonder and a joy to read. Cheri |

Good evening Sonson, There are 66 books in the bible, therefore, there are 66 chapter 3's. Would you kindly tell us which chapter 3 you are interested in? Thank you Cheri |

56 | Who is "She" ? | Is 13:22 | skccab | 210971 | ||
Shalom Keliy In context, from Isa. 13:19-22 it seems to be that the "she" is Babylon, and the destruction that later came to pass. Cheri |

57 | Leviticus16:8,10,20-22 | Leviticus | skccab | 210965 | ||
Shalom fellow-Ohioan, I think one reason you are getting confused is that you have decided that Azazel is satan. As far as my knowledge goes, the sages don't really know who or what Azazel was/is. The goat for Azazel indeed did carry the sins of the people into the wilderness (and to keep it from returning or winding up somewhere else, it was usually thrown off a cliff, as history records it). There's much more written about this but I don't have the references to state them on the Forum. :o( Cheri |

58 | who was Jesus talking about | Acts 19:15 | skccab | 210850 | ||
Good evening jchelve I'm sure john will see your question and answer you, but I'll give you my opinion. Messiah was speaking to those who had been just playing a game (and there are many of those around today!!). They crave the notoriety, the money, the esteem, etc that comes from performing miracles and healings. They actually manage to convince themselves, as well as many others, that they are truly born-again believers, but they have never really surrendered their lives to the Lordship of Messiah. How do you think that they practice lawlessness? Later in ch. 24 vs. 34-46 will give you better enlightenment on what it means to practice Torah, to live as a redeemed child of God, or to practice "lawlessness." Shalom Cheri P.S. In the future, if you want to answer a post/note of a specific person, just click on that person's post and then you can reply and an email will be sent to that person, and that also keeps the home page free. Welcome to the SBF!!!! |

59 | Is Christianity becoming Christless in A | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 210745 | ||
Shalom Brad, How are you doing tonight? It's sad, but I agree. First the church (all the different denominations, not THE Church, Spiritual Israel) took away His ancestry, now they're quite happy to just remove Him altogether, and just live by the precepts. But the good news is that the Lord, even now, is building up Zion. There will be a believing Israel for Him to return to!! Cheri |
