61 | Where did Cains wife come from | Gen 4:17 | Aixen7z4 | 106906 | ||
I understand what you mean, but ... Acts 17:26,27 (He) hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us. |

The concept of dispensational eras may be helpful here. Before the law there were other economies, other systems by which God judged. And Romans 2:12 may attest to this. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law. Adam and Eve were judged in innocency. They had not known evil and were responsible only to listen and trust and obey. Cain and Abel were guided by their consciences. They knew what was right and what was wrong. They had “the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another” (Romans 2:15). For those who do not accept the schema of dispensationalism, I hope you can disregard it and focus simply on Paul’s explanation to the Romans. The writer to the Hebrews says that Abel was acting on faith when he offered his sacrifice. Paul tells us that faith comes by hearing the word of God. These together suggest that God had spoken to Cain and Abel. Whether it was with an audible voice or through their consciences that he had revealed his will about sacrifices we may judge. But God did speak to Cain: “Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?” But his parents had chosen to listen to Satan, and so did he. 1 John 3:12 Cain was of that wicked one. That‘s why he slew his brother. Seems it has always been this way. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. |

Thanks for your thoughtfulness. But actually, I did not intend that post for him. As I understand it, he is not a believer as yet and I would have kept his focus on the gospel. (See my note to him, above). I would have hoped it would be of more general interest to believers trying to explain culpability in the absence of the law of Moses. But who knows, he may find it interesting. | ||||||
64 | Resymbolism? | Gen 50:20 | Aixen7z4 | 136372 | ||
Yes. It is said that everyone, not only a Christian, rationalizes at times. It serves not only to protect the ego but to give meaning to the events of life. Sometimes life is weird and difficult to deal with. A problem is apparent when that mechanism is used too much as it were to avoid reality. Again, if a person has God's perspective, they find it easier to deal with unpleasant circumstances or things they would not understand otherwise. One may say it is the way a believer is expected to live, "while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things that are not seen". Brother J. Alan Blair says we should live in light of eternity, and Brother K.P. Yohannan asks us to pray that God would stamp eternity on our eyes. God inhabits eternity and that would be his perspective. When the world hates us, Jesus says it is normal, and when we suffer for righteousness’ sake we are told we should accept it because… Back to the case of Joseph though, his perspective is given in hindsight. “God meant it”. One wonders whether he knew all along that God had a plan. Jesus knew what to do and how to accept the events of his life because he knew what had been written and that it must be fulfilled. He acted often just so the Scriptures would be fulfilled, and after the fact he would say that is the way it had to be. I have not read Joe Stowell’s book, but the sentiment rings true to Scripture. Man’s goings are of the Lord, how then can he know his own way? I think we are like Job and like Solomon. If God’s will is not apparent in the events of life, then they make no sense at all. But if we can see his will in his word and apply it to our lives, then all is well. That is one reason we should search the word, to see the meaning in the events of life even before they happen. If we are not familiar with the word we may not be able to see God’s perspective, and we may not be able to apply the right principles. Without the word we are forced to invent reasons why things happen, and it may be to excuse our own behavior. But if we life by the word and it provides explanations, that seems entirely satisfactory and satisfying. Jesus told us life would be hard, so if we can face difficulty without being surprised by it and “think it not strange” it will help. All in all it seems there is a scriptural form rationalization. Some may call it philosophizing. Some may call it resymbolization. I'd say if it makes proper use of Scripture it is OK, whatever they may call it. |

65 | Why would God seek to kill Moses? | Ex 4:24 | Aixen7z4 | 136727 | ||
Amen, Lady. Permit me to add some thoughts that I have had on this. But first let me say how impressed I am that you found your answer so easily. It seems that your heart was all ready for it, and that I admire. It is hard to know what someone has in mind when they ask the question “Why”. But to that question I will say that there are many times when God does what he does and he does not tell us why. The fact is that God is sovereign. He can do what he likes and does not have to give us a reason. Let it be said that we cannot question God. By that I mean we cannot second-guess him, for “The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, ‘Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand’” (Isaiah 14:24). Nevertheless, the Lord has revealed to us what he is like, and we can look to see that he is acting in concordance with his character. But first, we can learn God’s attributes from the thing he does, and I suggest that is the proper approach to the question. It is recorded for us what God did, and what can we learn from it? Remember that “Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope” (Romans 15:4). One lesson we can learn is that God cares that we obey him. God had told Moses to circumcise his son and he had not done it. God shows here that he is patient. He may delay his judgment. But he wants obedience. He says, “A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear?” (Mal 1:6). We should fear God, and reverence him, and we show that by obeying him. If God had not shown his displeasure at Moses’ disobedience (or neglect of obedience) in this matter we could also be asking why. And we might conclude that Moses got away with it and so can we. We can weary ourselves with these questions. And we can weary the Lord, by trying his patience and then asking questions like this. Indeed, “Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, ‘Wherein have we wearied him?’ When ye say, ‘Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them’; or, ‘Where is the God of judgment?’” There is a bad result when judgment is slow in coming. “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil” (Ecclesiastes 8:11). So it is good for us to see God in the judgment mode. We can learn that God does not wink at sin. We can learn that we should not harbor sin in order to take advantage of God’s patience. God is patient “But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God”? (Romans 2:5) So, we learn that God is a God of justice; that he will punish sin. And yet, God does not desire the death of the wicked. “Say unto them, ‘As I live’, saith the Lord GOD, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die?’” (Ezekiel 33:11). Notice, if you will, that Moses was not actually killed. We learn that God is a God of the second chance. When he says he will bring judgment, if we repent, he relents. He says, “Again, when I say unto the wicked, ‘Thou shalt surely die’; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; … he shall surely live, he shall not die. None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live” (Ezekiel 33) Yet, when God acts, we ask why? “The children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal”. And we do not learn. There are many things that God has asked us to do today. Like Moses, we neglect to do them. For example, God says that a new believer should be baptized. But some of us debate the fine points of it and yet neglect to simply do it. Like Moses, we may feel that we have gotten away with it. Yet God is still a God of judgment, and he comes to us in judgment. Some say he does not, because he has already judged our sins at the cross. But we should consider that that he might. He might come to us with death. It might be spiritual death. Though he does not take away his salvation or his love, he may withdraw his presence, and that separation, I submit, is like death. Then again, it might be physical death. Many are weak and sickly among us, and many die. “But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world” (1 Corinthians 11:32). I am not sure we needed to ask the question for the eleventh time. But we can learn from that incident in the life of Moses. “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy” (Proverbs 28:13). |

66 | Who was God going to kill? | Ex 4:24 | Aixen7z4 | 138609 | ||
It is my understanding that God does not desire the death of the disobedient person. Ezekiel 18:23 “Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” saith the Lord GOD: “and not that he should return from his ways, and live?” Ezekiel 33:11 Say unto them, “As I live”, saith the Lord GOD, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die …?” 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is … not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. The Lord had no more intention to kill Moses or his son than he had of destroying the people of Nineveh (Jonah 3,4) or than Jesus had intention of going further (Luke 24:28). The God who knew that Abraham would direct his family in the right way (Genesis 18) knew that Moses’ family would accede to his demand for circumcision of the male. It does not take away from the fact that God is just and will punish sin. The soul that sinneth, it shall die (Ezekiel 18:4,20). The wicked will be turned into hell (Psalm 9:17). But God looks forward to our repentance and to his chance to forgive us. We might not do well to delve into the foreknowledge of God because it could lead into a discussion of predestination, and that is not the purpose here. But would it not be interesting if God would have chosen Moses to deliver the children of Israel from Egypt and then turned around and killed him (or his son) before he had had a chance to do that? It seems then that God’s threat of death is to remind us that he is a God of justice, but he never wants to follow-through on that threat. He will kill some, as he did Er (Genesis 28) and Korah (Numbers 16), and Uzzah (2 Samuel 6) and those who refuse to repent and trust in Jesus (John 3:16). But he knew he would not have to kill anyone in Moses’ family on the way to Egypt. I agree with you that someone would have died if atonement was not made. But atonement would be made there, and on the cross, by Jesus, and no one needs to die. I speak here of spiritual death. |

68 | Can one who commits suicide be saved? | Ex 20:13 | Aixen7z4 | 104470 | ||
Hello: I have not read much on this thread, but my ministry is in counseling and I was led to your note. I agree with you that suicide is not an answer. Depression is a common problem and can be overcome. Please seek help. I hesitate to tell you that suicide does not send a believer to hell, but I hope it does not make the idea any more appealing. I want to encourage you to trust the Lord and give your life to him. You should know that baptism is not the answer. God requires repentance and faith, trustng him. Baptism is good, but it comes after those two. Trust in the Lord, and live for him. |

69 | Explain the Holy Trinity-verysimple form | Numbers | Aixen7z4 | 103619 | ||
Methinks, my friend, that you make the matter much more difficult than it is. You ask, “How can something be three distinct persons, yet all be one person?” I do not know anywhere that the Bible says that God is “something”. “Only one ‘What’: God”?!? Where did that come from? And please do not say from Honegraf? Where did Honegraf learn that God is a thing? Nor does the Bible say that God is “one person”. It does say (Deuteronomy 6:4) that “The LORD our God is one LORD”. We would have no idea how three persons can be one person. But we know that three persons are one God. Why do I need to pretend that this is a difficult concept? Is the idea of a team, or a group, or a family, likewise beyond our human understanding? |

70 | must be theologians? | Numbers | Aixen7z4 | 103627 | ||
If you are a theologian, EDB, I apologize to you personally, and I regret having made that statement about theologians. I have not heard any theologians to say that they are the only ones who know. The statement then, may be untrue. I am not sure what “patently” means. Truth is I am not sure what theologians really do or say. They just give me the impression that by dint of study they think they know. Yet they confuse me with admissions that there is so much they do not know. I only meant to answer that one does not have to be a theologian to know the only true God. I wondered why that questioner asked that question. Does one expect to get to know God by devoting most of one’s life to studying the word of God? I do not know. They tell us there are some things we do not understand and that they know more (understand better?) because they have spent many years studying. My problem is this: How can we judge whether what they are telling us in true? They invent words such as “Trinity” which are not even in the Bible. Then they tell us it is a difficult concept and they have been studying it for many years and they will explain it to us. We listen and we don’t understand and we say, “That is totally confusing to me”. They then accuse of not believing or of limiting our faith to our level of understanding. In attempting to make things simple, theologians make things more difficult for some of us. I do not study the word of God, but I search the word of God for information and instruction, and I think I have an understanding of my God. I am afraid that such a statement will be shot down, but I take comfort in the fact that I know that I know him personally and that I am allowed to say so. For this cause I suffer also these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed (2 Timothy 1:12). I know that I know him, and I hide behind the fact that I am allowed to say that, even to uxult in it. Doubtless, boasting is not usually a good thing. “But Let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight”, saith the LORD. I would not be a theologian because I am not sure we ought to be studying the word of God. That statement will shock many and it will probably be shot at too, but I have not seen such an instruction in the Bible. I know, as I have said, that I should search the word (John 5:39; Acts 17:11, etc.) but I do not know that I should study it. Those who study it tend to argue over words, and their debates seldom serve to elucidate anything. When they run out of bible words such as sanctification they invent words such as Trinity and eschatology and transsubstantiation, or they go to Greek and Hebrew words, and they do not seem to help us. I hope no theologian tells you here that you should “study to show yourself approved”. We should know the word of God, and also we should know God. But “of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. Is this a call for ignorance? No. You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about him. That is good. May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. |

Good question, brother Tim. I have never heard a theologian to say that. So again, I apologize to all of the theologians. But I am troubled by the fact some people may be thinking that only theologians get to know God. I am troubled by the idea of studying God. I am troubled by the idea of someone making it a career to study the word of God, and I do not know that they have done us any good. I have said elsewhere that I think they invent terms and study them and disagree among themselves about them and in the end they make things complicated. Take this as a case in point. Why the term “Trinity”? OK, it can be justified. But does it help in this situation? Can we go to the theological dictionary to find a simple definition that we can provide to a new believer? I am afraid we tend to lead people into a world of terminology and word studies instead of encouraging them in a personal relationship with God. Spend time with the Lord. Spend with his word, searching it, reading it meditating on it. Accept it as it is. But to study it or him I find not. Know him. Learn of him. (Does that mean to study him?). Sit at his feet. Listen to him. Trust him. Obey him. (Does that mean to study him?) Even now, this is becoming too complicated for me. I think we can accept, and state, that the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit work together as one God, without going into all of this. |

Good to see you, Kathy. You are one person with three roles: mother, daughter, niece. I would not be surprised if you have other roles as well. Come to think of it, you are a Forum member, a sister, a friend. Similarly, our Lord Jesus Christ is Prophet, Priest, King, Lamb of God, Savior, etc. But there is also God the Father, a separate person. He is the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our Father. Jesus sits at his right hand. The Holy Spirit is a separate person. He descended upon Jesus as he was being baptized. He led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. He is the "other comforter" Jesus promised to send. Yes, he is another person, and that's the truth. He is called the Spirit of truth. There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. |

You are correct, and I deserve that, Radioman. Sometimes I feel there should be no such discipline as psychology. And sometimes, I feel useful. The theologian must feel the same way, I suppose. I think now I must change my mind, get acquainted with him and let him have a place in my life. | ||||||

You are OK with me, my friend. We can learn from each other. Your name is strange to me, and I am sure my words are strange to you. But maybe I am not as mixed up as you think I am. We must search the Scriptures (John 5:39;Acts 17:11). We must meditate on it (Psalm 1; Psalm 139). We must receive it as a graft, and let it be a part of us (James 1:21). But the word of God is not an academic thing for us to play word games with. Word games are not profitable (2 Timothy 2:14). They do not lead you to the truth. How do you come to the truth? Read the word. Read it in context. Read about that topic throughout the Bible. Read it prayerfully, with an open mind. Be prepared to act on what the Lord reveals to you. It is no use understanding the fine points of sanctification, my friend, unless you have a desire to live a holy life. How do you know what the word means? Context, my friend. Read it in context and you will not miss it. Strange as it may sound there is nothing in the Bible suggesting that we should study the Bible. “Study to show thyself approved”, you say. Except that the word “study” does not mean “study”. Instead of getting upset and responding quickly, take your time to read it carefully. If you are not a “KingJamesOnly” person, then read it in another translation. Yes, we must be careful, my friend. And yet, if we will carefully search the word of God, looking for the will of God, all the while ready to follow and obey it, I care not what you call that activity. Call it Bible study if you like. And yet I say to you that is not what we usually do. We want to probe into ideas like “The Trinity”, how can it be. Compare that with the instructions to the seven churches in Asia that they should read, hear, and keep those things which are written therein (Revelation 1:3). Compare that with Philippians 4:9 where we are encouraged to do the things we have learned, and received, and heard, and seen. I have seen one church to study the Book of Revelation a dozen times. And yet they have no idea what it means to “keep those things”. I have seen a church go through the book of Philippians also, and remain the saddest sourest lot in the city. I once asked a class, “When can we start doing these things?” and they looked at me as though I was speaking Greek. I asked a sister, “How do you rejoice?” and she said, “You know!” My brother, you may feel free to call me mixed up now if you like. I say again that God gave us his word so we can obey it (Deuteronomy 29:29). Do you remember another place where he said to study it? You have studied me and determined that I am mixed up. And now, will you study God? Will you try to assess his omnipotence? His omniscience? His omnipresence? Better I say to respond to him as you read of him and as he reveals himself to you. I say that he prefers worship to a sermon on worship and love to a sermon on love. They will know it when they see it. I hope we can do it when we see it to be done. This doctrine of the Trinity is not to be studied. It will get you nowhere. Read about the Father. Come to Him. Jesus is the Way. Follow him. If you do you’ll do that you will know it is the Holy Spirit who is leading you. You will experience them in your life and you will thrill then as you read about them. They are to be known by experience and not by study. God is a person, not a topic. I still sound mixed up, do I? OK. Sometimes people sound like that. But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. Do it. |

There is one God. No question about that. The Bible reveals that God exists in three persons. Not one person. As to what is meant by "God as one single being", we would need the person who said that to explain what they meant. I began to try to explain it for him but I think he will not appreciate it. He has said in response to one of my posts: “You say that it's not a difficult concept. If so, then I must think that you don't fully understand it to begin with. The trinity isn't merely a family, a group, or some team wirking together. The Bible describes God as one single being”. I still say that three being one is not a difficult concept for me, and I think it is a revelation I can easily receive. So perhaps our brother can explain his term and the difficulty he is experiencing. By the way, I think your post is very clear and I agree with everything you said. As for the Holy Spirit being God, I think the point has been made in previous posts. |

Brother Steve, your point is well taken. To be true to Scripture, I will not quibble over the words. I believe you have given a good description of the difference between “search” and “study”. I explains in part why I prefer the word “search”, but the important thing is not the word we use but the activity that we engage in. I do believe we should read the Bible to find the answers to specific questions. Let me be clear. I think we should read the Bible to see what God is saying to us. A question then can be, “What is God saying to us?” We can read any portion of Scripture with that question in mind. We might even read it with the prayer, “Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law”, as in Psalm 119:18. I think we should read whole portions of Scripture, a story, a letter, a psalm, all the way through. It puts particular statements in context and makes them meaningful. If you are looking for answers to a specific question you may find indeed that “the Bible is a very disorganized book in some ways”. That is why you need to search, and Jesus encouraged that activity (John 5:39). The Bereans were commended for that activity (Acts 17:11). This is where concordances, and chain references are so useful. We should use them. I personally know of no better Bible searching tool than the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge. It simply points you from where you are to other places where the same topic is touched on and I treasure it and recommend it. BTW, I think the word "sanctification" is in the Bible. (You may need to try a different translation. And it is to be recommended that we read one passage in different translations). The problem with "invented" words such as “Trinity” is that we have to define them. As we do so we are really teaching, and we have to be very careful. If we define “Trinity” as “God in three persons - ‘God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost’”, I think that would be an accurate encapsulation of a Bible fact. If “Trinity” presents “God as one single being”, I think it would not be accurate teaching. Teaching is needed. Teachers are needed. If teachers find the need to “study” or to ask their students to “study” so be it. But we should “search the Scriptures” and do so with a goal beyond knowing facts. The goal should be to know the Lord and his will and to respond to him by doing his will. The problem, again, is not with the term we use but rather with the goal of the activity. Teaching should be defined in terms of imparting skills and learning should be defined in terms of acquiring skills. The skill should not be limited to handling the word but it should be deployed, putting the word into practice. Let the teachers teach us how to witness, how to bear one another’s burdens, how to worship, how to love. And let us do those things. “Identifying eternal principles and trying to understand how to apply them to the here and now” is a noble goal. If that is what theologians do, then I support them. One eternal principle is that man was created for relationship with God. The Bible reveals that. As we see it, let us actively respond to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Brother Steve, I do not know you very well, but I have tried to respond to you here. I think that I am responding to you in body (the things your fingers put on my screen) soul, (the emotions you expressed) and spirit (your self). So let it be with God. Let us accept him as he presents himself and let us respond to him. Let us respond, for example, to his love, and his grace. Let us act on what we know. We thank him for the grace Descending from above That overflows our widest guilt The eternal Father’s love Love of the father’s everlasting Son Love of the Holy Ghost Jehovah, Three in One. |

Words fitly spoken, Brother Tim. Teaching with an eye to application is attractive. Might be good if every lesson included some role-play. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. I hope that some theologian reading this will decide to have his students to worship God after learning in class about him. He might decide to model it and ask them to follow his example, the way we do when teaching math. Reading Philippians 4;9, I think that was the way that Paul taught them. Reading 2 Timothy 3:10 onward, I get the impression that it was the way that he taught Timothy. |

I am blessed by that, EdB. For some reason I am thinking how good God has been to save me and to bring me to this point. I obtained mercy, that in me Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. |

I am sorry that I sound mixed up to you, my friend. I feel fine and I hear you well. But sometimes it is difficult to communicate. When I said your name was strange I meant only that I had not communicated with you before. Words are interesting, aren't they? Sometimes we do not use them well and then they do not serve us well. We have to be very careful with them. I agree that it does not matter what word we use if we know what we mean. I agree that we should get into the word. His words are found and I do eat them; and his word is unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by his name. I hope you understand. |
