41 | Invite in a Trojan Horse? | Bible general Archive 2 | Renovate Me | 112112 | ||
Tim, If you do not have a problem with using churches for AA, I guess that is the answer I was looking for and the pastor has my blessings. Thank you for your valued input. |

42 | Invite in a Trojan Horse? | Not Specified | Renovate Me | 112093 | ||
How am I supposed to overlook the fact that the pastor of a church which I used to be a member but still have ties to is holding AA meetings inside the church on weeknights? I feel it is the duty of a Christian to take the pastor to task because I feel he is compromising the holiness of God's house by catering to those who worship a 'higher power' also known as paganism. | ||||||

Could I have some input on receiving communion? A Non-Mainstream Protestant Church invites all visitors to freely partake in the breaking of bread.

49 | verse 1.2 | Ruth 1:5 | Renovate Me | 111008 | ||
Their days were shortened, because they transgressed the law in marrying strange wives. So what we have here, by taking the verse in context, is two marriages, three deaths, and Naomi becomes a widow. One other event could be turning to God as the only source of comfort. |

50 | How do we know saturday is the sabbath d | Col 2:16 | Renovate Me | 110981 | ||
Thank you, Kalos for your reply. I never intended to state any facts in my post, I was trying to help the questioner imagine the way things were back in the timeframe of the OT, in which his inquiry was based. Yet my presumptions were not entirely unfounded, as the ones most likely to have originated the idea of a solar calendar would have been the Egyptians. This came about when they noticed that the star Sirius, in Canis Major, as being visible right before sunrise was something to take note of. The star had a yearly cycle only 12 minutes shorter than the sun, and after Sirius appeared in the east, the Nile would begin to flood. This could point to the new year being related to a geophysical event, not entirely astronomical. Based on this knowledge, they devised a 365-day calendar that seems to have begun around 4236 BC, the earliest recorded year in history. They eventually had a system of 36 stars to mark out the year (which equals about 10.5 days per week) and used three different calendars concurrently until approx 2,000 BC: a star-based calendar for agriculture, a solar year of 365 days, a lunar calendar for their festivals. Assyria was a kingdom of northern Mesopotamia in what is now northern Iraq and southeastern Turkey. For accounting, the Assyrians also used a kind of week, of five days, relating to the name of one of their officials. This way, interest on loans could be calculated for a number of weeks in advance independent of the inaccuracies of the civil year. At about the time of the conquest of Babylonia in 539 B.C., Persian kings made the Babylonian calendar the standard in the Persian Empire.The origin and history of the calendar year of 12 months of 30 days, plus five days (that is, 365 days), remain unknown. It became official under the Sasanian dynasty, approx 226 A.D. Thanks again, and God Bless |

51 | How do we know saturday is the sabbath d | Col 2:16 | Renovate Me | 110932 | ||
Saturday is the seventh day. God rested on the 7th day. However we must keep in mind that this was long before a standardized calander came into existance. Picture a world back in time where one country had 7 days per week and across the border there were ten days per week. There are numerous threads that discuss the issue of Sabbath day observance. Please go to the yellow box at the left of your screen, click on Search, then look for entries that contain the word "Sabbath". There you will see many posts where undoubtably one or more may answer the question to your satisfaction. Bless you, May your studies be enjoyable. |

53 | knowing forgiveness to others | Matt 6:12 | Renovate Me | 110896 | ||
I have a great need to forgive my ex-wife and close family members. How can I know that I am complete in my forgiveness? I brought my ex thru immersion baptism since our divorce, yet I cannot forget the relationship with my daughter that she denied me when she broke her vows. I work for my brother, a born again believer, yet he consistently persecutes me for my pre-Christian behavior and I am unable to forget the psychological damage that I have lived with in my past that led to alcoholism, depression and serious drug abuse. I feel deficient in my prayer life and feel the Holy Spirit does not hear me because I possibly am not letting go of my anger even though I do not feel mad since my dedication to Christ Thank you for your response |

54 | Did GOD leave out tabernacle details? | 1 Sam 3:3 | Renovate Me | 110291 | ||
Hi rns, There is another excellent site at netbible.org where I found the following info, I hope it helps. As for creating waves, that is undesirable for a Christian, see Col 3:12, " Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; " I completely understand your eagerness to help solve this topic of curiosity among your church family members, but always remember it is unwise to speculate over non-essential details, because that will always leave an opening for an argument. Arguments are inspired by the enemy, not the Bible. May God anoint your studies, here is the additional commentary: The details provided for us in verses 2, 3, and 7 help us understand the setting in which the events of chapter 3 take place. Samuel is lying down in his appointed place inside the tabernacle, not that far from the Ark of the Covenant, which is inside the Holy of Holies. Eli is sleeping somewhere else, not too distant for Samuel to hear when he calls. As the author informs us, Eli’s eyesight has greatly deteriorated, so that his vision is seriously impaired (see also 4:15). With Eli’s age, weight, and visual limitations, he needs the help of a boy like Samuel. Samuel can bring Eli a drink of water or run other errands for him. It is only natural for Samuel to assume that a call late at night comes from his master, Eli. |

55 | Where did Samuel sleep that night? | 1 Sam 3:3 | Renovate Me | 110281 | ||
Dear rns, there is a commentary by Matthew Henry (1714), that shares some insight into the arrangement. some of this follows: In Verse 2: Eli had retired. Samuel had waited on him to his bed, and the rest that attended the service of the sanctuary had gone, we may suppose, to their several apartments: Eli had laid down in his place; he went to bed betimes, being unfit for business and soon weary of it, and perhaps loving his ease too well. Probably he kept his chamber much, which gave his sons the greater liberty. And he sought retirement the more because his eyes began to wax dim, an affliction which came justly upon him for winking at his sons’ faults. Verse 3: Samuel had laid down to sleep, in some closet near to Eli’s room, as his page of the back-stairs, ready within call if the old man should want any thing in the night, perhaps to read to him if he could not sleep. He chose to take Samuel into this office rather than any of his own family, because of the towardly disposition he observed in him. When his own sons were a grief to him, his little servitor was his joy. Let those that are afflicted in their children thank God if they have any about them in whom they are comforted. Samuel had laid down ere the lamp of God went out. It should seem he lay somewhere so near the holy place that he went to bed by that light, before any of the lamps in the branches of the candlestick went out (for the main lamp never went out), which probably was towards midnight. Till that time Samuel had been employing himself in some good exercise or other, reading and prayer, or perhaps cleaning or making ready the holy place; and then went softly to his bed. Then we may expect God’s gracious visits, when we are constant and diligent in our duty. -I hope I have been of good service, rm |

56 | how many were gathered in the upper room | Acts 1:14 | Renovate Me | 109581 | ||
The total, including the brethren, was approx. 120, according to verse 15. NASB Act 1:13 When they had entered (the city,) they went up to the upper room where they were staying; that is, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James (the son) of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas (the) (son) of James. Act 1:14 These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with (the) women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
