41 | How has Judaism influenced Christianity? | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 201461 | ||
Patty, shalom again Aaaah, OK. I understand. Sadly, not much of anything of the Jews is incorporated into the westernized churches nowadays. We are the ones on the losing end though, after all, we have been adopted into a Jewish family - our King and big Brother is a Jew for all Jews (even if they didn't see it). In this world my birth parents gave me up for adoption. When I was adopted, I did not retain my birth identity - I melded into my new family, learning their ways till after awhile no one could tell that I was adopted and not a natural member. As a believer, adopted into God's family and into the commonwealth of Israel, I don't see that it should be any different. Maybe someone else can see more, but I see very little of Judaism except for the Lord Himself. But there is a group of really strange folks who are returning to the Jewishness of Jesus (I'm one of them), you can google Messianic Judaism and see what is and is not being incorporated, if you want to go that route in your essay. Sorry, I couldn't help more. Cheri |

42 | Names of Jehovah | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 201785 | ||
Shalom Someothername, You're welcome. I've come to love the language and am trying to learn it - got the reading it down but my vocabulary is still very scant. Oh well, in time. Another nice link for the Hebrew language is Hebrew4Christians. Learning the stories of the Hebrew letters and numbers can be fun as long as we remember they are just "stories and legends" and we don't put much stock into them. (I personally enjoy those stories because they show such a gentleness of heart, and a kind spirit in the ancient peoples.) Cheri |

43 | How do I forgive adultry if it continues | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 202163 | ||
Dear TJS, May I interject something here? YOU cannot forgive your ex-wife's sin. Only God can do that. What takes place concerning this act is between her and Him. What you are required to do is forgive her for how her sin affected you - and you do this, not for her, not even for God. You do it to put yourself in right standing with God. If there is anger, hurt, resentment over this in you then that affects your standing before God - you are out of balance. Place all of that (including the situation with your son) at the foot of the Cross and leave it there. When you begin thinking about it, start singing or humming What a Friend or Amazing Grace, anything to keep you from taking it back. YOu gave it to God, it's His now. God is faithful to heal your wounds if you allow Him to do so. (Please, be assured I'm not just rambling about something I know nothing about. My teenage daughter absolutely hates me and I've no idea why - and it hurts something awful, it's debilitating, it's crippling - if I take it back. But I've learned that only God can change hearts, we cannot. In His time, she will forgive and I will be there.) And in His time, your son will "come to his senses" and you will be there (either in this life or in the world to come). Please, be sure to follow the advice of brothers Brad and Hank and all the others, and seek Godly counsel. A counsellor can help you work through all of this. Leaning how to separate yourself from the hurt they have caused you and yet still think of them lovingly and pray for them is very difficult; but it can and must be done. Seek professional help from a Godly person. I'm sure you are already in the prayers of the many SBFers that have been reading this thread. May you find God's shalom. Cheri |

44 | ten commandments are they valid today | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 202174 | ||
Hiya Doc, Sorry that you misunderstood me, but glad you brought to my attention that my wording wasn't great :-) It wasn't the sermons at all, those were happy sermons. I was trying to say that we get "squirmy" when a someone actually does attempt to instruct us about the consequences of disobedience. So they preach on the "good" "happy" Old Testament scriptures "...blessing coming in and blessing going out...", "...you'll be the head and not the tail...", etc. But I very rarely got any of the "fire and brimstone" type sermons that addresses disobedience and its results. I guess it kind of goes back to the other thread that's running right now about churches being more entertaining than instructional. I'm a product of those kinds of churches years back, and it actually came as quite a surprise to me (a few years ago) when it became clear to me that the God of the ancients is the very same God we worship today. He has not changed - going from angry and hard to benevolant and good - He's been all of those all along - depending on how we as individuals and nations approach Him. I hope I cleared that up a bit :-) Cheri |

Shalom Ian, I'm very sorry that you're not happy with the responses you've received. But be it known that your prayer for right answers HAS been answered. You just don't like what the answer is. Most of the time, the "answer" God gives is not so easily seen, it must be heard, and it's very often "No." We don't like to hear No, so we don't and keep on praying, while complaining that God isn't answering us. Even when we are praying in God's will, sometimes it's No. Don't you know that there were folks praying for Elisha to get well? But he didn't, he died of his sickness (2 Kings 13:14). But God did answer the prayers - he's no longer sick!! Cheri |

Ian, Let me also point you to Abram and Sarai's prayer for a child. God told him personally that he would have an heir and be the father of many nations. Correct me, anyone, if I'm wrong, but it took 25 years for that prayer, that promise to be fulfilled. It doesn't always happen in our desired time-frame, but God is faithful to His word, in His time! Cheri |

48 | The literal Bible | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 202413 | ||
Dear Terry, The passages you referenced for death, are for believers in the Savior, God's Messiah, passages that describe cessation of bodily functioning, not death. Death, the Second Death, is total, eternal separation from God. That which was made of dust and returns to dust is nothing more than a vessel that houses the spirit and soul of man. When it stops working (dies) the spirit lives on, either with God or without God. Are you a born-again, Spirit-filled believer? Is Christ your Lord and Savior? Cheri |

Thanks Doc, Brad, John, and all I understand that these chapters, along with the book of Revelation, that there really isn't a 100percent rignt or wrong (within reasonableness) answer because it's veiled. But you did help me, whether you realize it or not - so once again, thanks guys. Of course, I do still have questions... next year :-) shalom cheri |

shabbat shalom lander I'm prone to agree and take those chapters at face value. But, like most believers, I have a bit of a problem with the sacrificial system spoken of - but it seems to include ALL. And it doesn't appear, to me anyway, that this temple is of any time other than the millenium or new heaven and new earth periods which will include only believers, Jews and adoptees (gentiles). I had just wanted to get some other views, most of the folks here are much more mature bible-wise than me :-). Aren't we glad our understanding of things like this have nothing to do with our eternal salvation? Though, I'd still like to get a handle on it. By the way, welcome to the forum. Hope you stay and study with us! Cheri |

Brad, The Sabbath was created on the 7th day! On the 7th day, God created the Sabbath and sanctified it, made it holy - Gen. 2:3. There was no Israel at that time, but God still called it holy. Then, long after God created Sabbath and called it holy, Israel came into being. The Sabbath came first. I never said it's wrong to worship God on Sunday. I said the Bible says it's right to observe the Sabbath. There is nowhere in the Gospels where Messiah rescinded the Sabbath either. My understanding is that God is not a man that He'll change His mind willy-nilly, this way and that. What He has called holy is indeed holy and remains such. What is man that he should take it upon himself to change God's decrees? We gentiles, as believers, have been grafted in to the commonwealth of Israel, not the other way around. It is only one tree. We all get nourishment from the same root. If God grafted us into His olive tree, why should I attempt to distance myself from the blessings He gave to that "tree" that I'm now a part of? Rom. 11:15-31. If you adopted a child into your family, would that child not also be adopted into the blessings you've given to your natural born children? Or would that child be a second-class family member? Of course not! That child would be subject to every blessing and every expectation that your natural children are raised under. Same with our Heavenly Father. Also, if you adhere to the 10 Commandments, it's right there, Exod. 20:8-11. Again, never been rescinded. I answered a question with a Bible verse. The BIBLE states the blessing for the Sabbath, not me. Mat. 5:17-19. If someone is being led to follow God's direction, I tread very carefully. And I've yet to read anywhere in the Bible, old or new testaments, where God has decided to change His mind on this particular issue (and many others we're not discussing). Also "speaking the truth in love" :-) Cheri |

Hi Doc, I simply stated what the Bible states, and that I've not seen where He has changed His mind about it. What you quoted was what men decided. God's word or man's? Hmmm.... I'll take God's word over man's in a heartbeat. Cheri |

Hiya again Brad, Why would he? The Gentile believers were meeting with the Jewish believers at that time and being taught by the Jewish teachers at the local synagogues. There was no need for him to talk about what was already being taken for granted. They were meeting on Shabbat. He was writing letters to local churches about immediate concerns. As to your question about the sacrifices - They were performing sacrifices at that time - Paul completed a vow of his own as well as paying for the 4 men to complete their vows. But I think the Temple was destroyed for that purpose, to put an end to that part, for now anyway (there's still Ezek 38 to the end of the book to deal with :-) ). Let me just finish by saying that personally I have never been so blessed before I started observing the Sabbath. God accepts and honors worship anytime it's offered. The Bible says the Sabbath is holy and that's all I'm saying - that the Bible says it, and I don't know of anywhere where it un-says it :-) Cheri |

Hi Zanna I forgot to say to look elsewhere besides the SDA. There are others that observe Sabbath. The SDA kinda scare me when they create folks like David Coresh (not sure of the spelling of his name) and Father Michael :-). Those are scary men. My email address is in my profile if you wish to use it. Cheri |

Doc ALL I did was give original questioner a bible verse. I did not say it was wrong to worship on Sun or on mon or tues or thurs or weds or fri or sat I said the bible says sabbath is set aside and holy. that there is a blessing associated with observing sabbath given in isa 58:13-14 maybe it's not a blessing and it's all in my head but i will continue to observe sabbath because that's no more wrong than gathering on sun tell me where i gave the impression that only shabbat observance is right i NEVER said anything like that at all but everyone's jumping all over it like i did. The bible says that God said the Sabbath is set aside, holy. There is no where that it says any differently I won't be answering any more - arguing is not what I had in mind here. |

Seeing as how 1 particular person was called to do that, by name - no, I'll not build an ark. But do you not think that if someone had heard what Noah had to say and believed him and went to work helping him build that God would not have honored that, and allowed that person to enter? | ||||||
58 | Does it Really matter? | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 203452 | ||
Seeing as how God called 1 particular man by NAME to build the ark - I think I won't, but you go on ahead. Cheri |

Hi Tamara, Could I add my 2cents in here? In the Mishna Tractate Pesahim there is comment on Galilean "tradition" to the observance of Passover; it's called seudah maphashket which actually means "last supper." The Galilean firstborn sons would eat this pseudo (spell?) Passover meal the first hour of Passover (the one in question would be Weds night 5-7pm ish). If this is what took place then work the days amd the math and everything works out exactly as recorded in the gospels, right down to the fact that the next day the 15th (or 7ish on Thur evening) is the beginning of Matza and that is also considered a "festival sabbath" (Lev. 23:5-7) with many of the same do's and don't's as the 7th day sabbath, (such as handling a corpse, so that alone should give us pause to think, if they buried Him on Fri it was still considered a sabbath????). Just as the Galileans had their traditions, so did the Judean and Samaritan Jews, and probably each group knew of the others' traditions and that might be why it is not mentioned in detail in the gospels, cos they were Galilean Jews writing to mostly other Jews about a Galilean Jew. I, myself, don't know if this is the way it was or not, (I don't subscribe 100 percent to it but I don't throw it off as not a possibility, either). It is food for some thought. You think? Cheri |
