41 | condemnation vs conviction | 1 John 1:9 | terrib | 152683 | ||
Greetings Noey, Welcome to the forum! Conviction is the Holy Spirit finding a fault. Condemnation is the judgement carried out for that fault. If a man is convicted of murder he will be condemned to prison or death. (1 John 1:9 KJV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Therefore, if we repent of the convicted fault the condemnation has no power. We have been acquitted of the fault by the blood of Jesus Christ as our atonement for the fault. And, Satan, "the accuser of our brethren" (Rev 12:10), the Scripture doesn't say that he is accusing the unbelievers but the believers, so if we are having feelings of condemnation, rejoice, for Satan wouldn't be after us if we didn't belong to Christ. Thus the warfare against principalities and powers,(Eph 6:12). Plus, there is no condemnation in Christ!! (Rom 8:1) Hope this helps, terrib |

42 | Quality of faith | Heb 11:7 | terrib | 152679 | ||
(Hebrews 11:7 KJV) By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Does this mean that he will be judged by the quality of his faith? |

Hi Seedling, You wrote: "There is also another verse states that no principalities nor trials and tribulations can take us from God's hands. Does anyone know where that verse is?" (Romans 8:38 KJV) For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, (Romans 8:39 KJV) Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. terrib |

46 | What became of the spared women? | Num 31:18 | terrib | 152582 | ||
Greetings Patawa, Welcome to the forum! (Numbers 31:18 KJV) But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. [Note: "women children" - the flower had not bloomed yet.] Children: Hebrew - 'taph' As: From the time that as a "taph" he clung to her; or; from an infant; small child They were severely reproved for saving the women alive. It is very probable that Moses had commanded them to kill the women, at least this was implied in the general order to avenge Israel of the Midianites; the execution having reference to that crime, their drawing them in to the worship of Peor, it was easy to conclude that the women, who were the principal criminals, must not be spared. What! says Moses, have you saved the women alive? (Num 31:15). He was moved with a holy indignation at the sight of them. These were those that caused the children of Israel to commit this trespass; and therefore, 1. It is just that they should die. The law in case of whoredom was, The adulterer and adulteress should surely be put to death. God had put to death the adulterers of Israel by the plague, and now it was fit that the adulteresses of Midian, especially since they had been the tempters, should be put to death by the sword. 2. “It is dangerous to let them live; they will be still tempting the Israelites to uncleanness, and so your captives will be your conquerors and a second time your destroyers.” Severe orders are therefore given that all the grown women should be slain in cold blood, and only the female children spared. (Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible) As in the verse: "keep alive for yourselves." either to be handmaids to them, or to be married among them when grown up, and become proselytes, and initiated into their religion. (John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible) Since the children were not of Israel bloodline they would be "strangers that sojourn with them". To sojourn: to live with the Israelites and receive their religion (a proselyte). Some verses on a stranger: ((Exodus 12:49 KJV) One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. (Exodus 22:21 KJV) Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. (Leviticus 19:34 KJV) But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. Children of a stranger: (Leviticus 25:45 KJV) Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. (Leviticus 25:46 KJV) And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour. Word study: stranger; sojourn; fatherless Hope this helps, terrib |

47 | Raca what does it mean? | Matt 5:22 | terrib | 152581 | ||
Greetings Gomer371, Here is some more information beside what Hank has already written. The thought of the context runs from Mat 5:21 thru 26 (Matthew 5:21 KJV) Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: (Matthew 5:22 KJV) But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. (Matthew 5:23 KJV) Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; (Matthew 5:24 KJV) Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. (Matthew 5:25 KJV) Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. (Matthew 5:26 KJV) Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. Raca : rhaka It comes from a verb signifying to be empty, vain; and hence, as a word of contempt, denotes senseless, stupid, shallow-brains. Jesus teaches here that to use such words is a violation of the spirit of the sixth commandment (Thou shall not kill), and if indulged, may lead to a more open and dreadful infraction of that law. "Thou fool", is a spiteful word, and comes from hatred; looking upon him, not only as mean and not to be honoured, but as vile and not to be loved; “Thou wicked man, thou reprobate.” And so by this, putting ones self on the level with God and passing judgement. Jesus, here magnifies the sixth commandment from the sword to the heart. Not destroying the old law but taking it to a higher level, elevating it from a law of the flesh to a law of the spirit. terrib |

Greetings Jackiek, Welcome to the forum. (1 Corinthians 14:5 NASB) Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy; and greater is one who prophesies than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edifying.

54 | what does God say about communication? | Matt 6:9 | terrib | 152421 | ||
Dear preciosa, RE: “communication being a leadership quality” A picture is worth a thousand words. In leadership, a leader will be communicating this picture; sound moral principle, unimpaired, completeness, uprightness, honesty and sincerity. (2 Timothy 3:17 KJV) “That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” A leader must communicate integrity first of all, for he will be communicating himself. (Psalms 25:21 NASB) Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. (Proverbs 11:3 NASB) The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the crookedness of the treacherous will destroy them. "I am sure that in estimating every man's value either in private or public life, a pure integrity is the quality we take first into calculation, and that learning and talents are only the second." Thomas Jefferson, 1792 (Campus Crusade for Christ) Other aspects of leadership: Courage, Vision, Faithfulness, Availability, Teachability, Wisdom and Perseverance. For study, read 2 Timothy Communication: The act of imparting, conferring, or delivering, from one to another; as the communication of knowledge, opinions or facts. Know your material that you are trying to convey! (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Longfellow once said, "sometimes we may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues." Careful examination of the lives of several leaders described in the Old Testament indicates that the purpose of leadership is not fame, power, or fortune, but to lead people with truth and righteousness. Leaders, as well as ordinary people, must be ethical and should not cover up injustices, even on the part of loved ones. They must also realize that no good comes from being interested in vengeance and the settling of old scores. And lastly but most firstly: Pray and seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance in all your goings and comings and be willing to accept His direction. And when you have worn holes in the knees of your trousers, get up, put on a new pair and start again. (Luke 22:42b KJV) nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. Hope this helps, terrib |

58 | So she should only be eating fruit? | Gen 2:16 | terrib | 152399 | ||
Hi Songbirdca, "But how can a perfect world (Eden) have included meat-eating?" I never said that it did. I said: " If Adam started eating meat at the first he would destroy and make extinct certain species;". They were created on the same day. So, if you kill one of them to eat how would they reproduce? And the Scriptures do not say that they ate meat either. Not until after man sinned was there a change. Like I pointed out before, the direct authority written in Scripture was given to Noah (Gen 9:3-4). And that was about 600 or so years after Adam. Abel, the son of Adam, was a keeper of sheep (the first shepherd slain by his own kind), now whither he raised the sheep for food or wool the Scriptures do not expressly say. And when Abel offered sacrifices to the Lord, it does not say that the sacrifices were burnt offerings either. These are innuendoes and can be very speculative. Or consider how Noah knew which were the clean animals and which were the unclean animals to bring into the ark. The Scriptures are silent about how Noah knew these things. And yet we can see, with a spiritual eye, that when God made coats of skin for Adam and Eve, they beheld the first death recorded, the first sacrifice for sin, a blood sacrifice, Christ in a figure, who is therefore said to be the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Rev 13:8). And God covered them. We can also see a difference in attitude, were before the sacrifice they hid from the Lord, but now a tone of reverence and faith when Eve (concerning Cain) says, "I have gotten a man from the LORD." (Gen 4:1), a glad thing and even a praise to the Almighty God who saved them through His grace. So, who taught Cain and Abel to sacrifice...?, the parents. Gen 4:4 "And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof", notice the inference to the Mosaic Laws, 'the firstling and the fat is the Lord's'... another shadow of things to come ... ? Did Adam and Eve eat meat after the first sacrifice ... ? In love, terrib |
