62 | Historical Christian Stance on Slavery? | Exodus | glory777 | 59745 | ||
Vannessa- There has been slavery since way before Christianity. Who built the pyramids? Egyptians loved their Hebrew slaves. Just one of many examples B.C. Debbie |
||||||
63 | God not destroy israel? | Exodus | glory777 | 70765 | ||
CMOORE- Please read Exodus 32. If it weren't for Moses interceeding for Israel, they would have been destroyed. If you read on, you will see that Moses had the calf ground up and made them drink it mixed with water. Debbie |

To all- I would beseech you in the Name of Jesus to abstain from going to this web site. We are to keep our hearts and minds pure. This site was obviously created by a person who is very sick. By going to it, we are only encouraging the person who authored it. May the God of all that is holy guard your minds and hearts. Debbie |

66 | Should we be using company computers? | Ex 20:15 | glory777 | 15427 | ||
Hi EdB- I don't have the option - I work in a factory that manufactures pistons. Definitely blue collar. But I was taught by my dad that when you get paid for a 40 hour week you work for 40 hours. If I had a desk job, it would depend on what the company policy allowed. If it took time away from work, then no. If it was OK during breaks, then yes. Relaxing at home- debbie |

67 | Can men wear earrings? | Ex 32:2 | glory777 | 71995 | ||
lwakiri- At that time, men and women wore earings and women wore noserings, etc. The men also wore dresses with not too much on underneath, it seems to me, as the Lord said in Leviticus that the priests had to make sure to wear linen trousers when ministering to the Lord. What they wore at that time has not too much bearing on today's customs. All we are told to do as far as dress and adornment is be modest. debbie |
||||||
68 | Dietary value of dietary laws? | Leviticus | glory777 | 7855 | ||
At the time of the Old Testament, I don't know if they realized that rabbits can have a worm that can cause disease in humans, but by the law prohibiting the eating of rabbit, the Israelites didn't have to worry about it. The same with pigs. If in the right (or I should say wrong) invironment, they also can, without being thoroughly cooked, cause sickness. | ||||||
69 | Will keeping Law yield eternal life? | Lev 18:5 | glory777 | 11557 | ||
I think it depended on where there heart was. I take it this was in the time before Christ. If they followed the verses quoted by Jesus they could. Abraham was saved, again not by works, but by faith. He loved the Lord. By just keeping the Law, no. Even if they didn't keep the law with all it's little add-ons, if they truly loved the Lord, tried to live by the law, then, yes. Debbie |

70 | Is it alright to talk/pray to the dead? | Deut 18:11 | glory777 | 71991 | ||
sailordancemix- I am sorry for your loss. It is hard. 2 Samuel 18:33 tells how David mourned after the death of his son, Absolam and called out his name. I don't believe he thought that Absolam actually heard him, he was just grieving. But instead of talking to your dead, talk to God. HE will hear you and give you comfort. If your loved one died in Christ, he/she is right now worshipping Him face-to-face, and I don't know how long it would take before he would want to take his focus off of Him. May the Lord Jesus give you an extra measure of peace and may you recognize His joy in the middle of your grief. Debbie |

71 | God has the right, but why do it? | Deut 29:29 | glory777 | 13876 | ||
I may be a little simple, I hope as a child, but there are some things in the Word and in creation I don't understand and I won't be able to understand until I am able to ask the Lord myself. I think Isaiah 55:8-9 pretty well sums it up. Also, God made the universe and all that is in it. He has the right to do anything with it He chooses. We have the right to either choose Him and trust, or not. Other than that, we have no rights. And those who choose to trust have all the rights we need. In His grace Debbie |

72 | Why this mass execution ? | Josh 7:24 | glory777 | 63933 | ||
It does seem harsh, but the Lrod can not look on sin and in order to go before the people of Israel, the had to follow Him. The rules were stated and Achan knew them. The people of Israel knew them and had to show the Lord that they wanted to obey Him. Anything left over of Achan's property would have been booty for the rest of Israel, anything of the property that was taken was cursed. Should someone else benefit from someone's sin? Achan's disobedience and subsequent punishment, stopped sin against the Lord from being passed down through his family, and because it was punished by all of the people of Israel, it was affirmation by those who did the execution that they would follow the Lord. Also, by comveting the things of Jericho, he was in essence, identifying himself with the things of Jericho. He doomed himself and all that he had to the same fate as the inhabitants of that city. These are my own thoughts on the matter. Any others? Debbie |

73 | Can we learn anything from Naaman? | 1 Sam 15:22 | glory777 | 127316 | ||
Definitly obedience, even if it seems picky. Doing the little things for God, even if they seem unpleasant and very humbling, bring great rewards. It is easy to do great things that get noticed and in the process you are elevated. The Lord can not mend something that is not broken. Naaman needed to be broken to see the work of the Healer.

74 | In what city was David born? | 1 Sam 16:1 | glory777 | 63036 | ||
1 Samuel 16 says David was the son of Jesse who lived in Bethlehem. Luke reports that the angels told the shepherds Jesus was born in the city of David - Bethlehem. Debbie |

75 | Evil Spirit from the Lord? | 1 Sam 19:9 | glory777 | 65064 | ||
justducky- The Lord had removed His protection from Saul by this point. David had been chosen to replace him. With the absence of God's protection, we are open to all sorts of things. In this case, a demonic spirit was able to influence Saul. Kind of like if I left my grandson by a mud puddle and he decided to ignore what I had said and got full of mud. I took my protecion from him, he reaped the results (although to him, it might have been worth it!) but it could be said that I allowed him to get full of mud. Don't know if this would help in a study of the origin of evil, but ever since Satan turned his back and rebeled against God, evil was in the world and has had a powerful sway. It is only with the Lord's protecion that we have any protection, by His grace, and when it does touch us, it is only by His strength that we have the strength to stand and weather the situation. God bless- debbie |

76 | Does this mean God is the author of sin? | 2 Sam 12:11 | glory777 | 15360 | ||
RWC- God is not the author of sin, but He is righteous, and will allow personal freedom. Those who had evil done to them, God allowed, just as God allowed Eve to sin and punishment had to follow. Whenever people sinned, they were given fair warning. Whether they chose to follow, was their own choice. God could have withheld the evil that would take place, and we know who is in charge of evil, but because of their disobedience, what He had foretold would happen if they didn't, happened. At least this is my answer to those who say God is judgemental and just a God of wrath. He will also do anything and allow things to happen to bring His people to Him. God's peace. Debbie |
||||||
77 | Why was Nehemiah afraid? | Nehemiah | glory777 | 10843 | ||
Nolan- According to my bible's commentary "Nehemiah is afraid to appear sad at an inappropriate time before the king because cupbearers were to hide their emotions for the king's sake. To violate this was punishable by death." So in Chapter 1 he was afraid, but in chapter two I think he was afraid the king would refuse. As a cupbearer, he was privy to a lot of the king's confidential conversation and was very trusted, not someone easily replaced. Debbie |

78 | Are Christians To Be Activists? | Esth 4:14 | glory777 | 15230 | ||
First, if there ever was an activist, Jesus was one. If there was wrong, He addressed the issue. He did not just tell others what to do, He did it. He mingled with and healed social outcasts. He taught compassion. But if there was hypocrisy, He confronted it. But everything He did, He did with prayer and in accordance with His Father's will. He was a one-man protester often and the only time He acted out His anger was with the money-changers in the temple, and then He took time before hand to plait the cords to chase them out (I wonder what went through His mind as he was doing the weaving?). We need to be the examples, the salt and light, first. As Nolan stated, we need Godly men in office to have prominence in working to change laws in accordance with God's Word, but we need to do our part and be active in worldly affairs by prayer and fasting. If action needs to be taken, it needs to be done in a Godly way, violence begets violence and does not show the love of Jesus. Love in Christ- Debbie |

79 | Why exactly was God mad at Job friends | Job | glory777 | 39921 | ||
RLeaMac- When you read Job, in chapter 1, you see who Job was and how God saw him - upright, fearing God, avoiding evil. And yet, when his so-called friends come around, all they can say is "Job, what did you do wrong? You must have done something. God wouldn't just do this unless you sinned!". With friends like this who needs enemies? Instead of comfort and support, they almost seem to me like they are just trying to get Job to confess that he sinned (maybe out of jealousy or to make themselves look better?). Remember, God looks at the heart and the motives. Not only did He tell them that He is God and needs to give no explaination (isn't the fact that we have Job's story to learn from, reason enough for God to do this) but out of all the bad, everything was restored to Job double, because he loved and feared the Lord. We just need to wade through the rough waters, knowing He is beside us and knew this was going to happen, prepared a way through and, if we allow, will strengthen us in our relationship with Him and use it for His glory. Peace. Debbie |

80 | why was it three days? | Job | glory777 | 43145 | ||
Not a very sound answer, biblically, but why did God choose to make the world in 6 days and not in one? He could have, you know. God is God and we are not and there are some things we will never know - until we can ask Him face to face! Blessings debbie |
