61 | Studying O.T. is creating problems. | Genesis | Pastor Glenn | 84899 | ||
FreeThinker, I wanted to point out the vast time of 100 years between God's instructions of Gen 6 and Gen 7. Gen 5 32And Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah begot Shem, Ham, and Japheth. But it was only 7 days before the flood that God gave detailed instructions. Gen 7 6Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth. This shows the poor judgement of the skeptics that see this as a contradiction. It should be expected that more detail be given a century later as the end was upon them. I am not looking for your reponse to this post as much as I am looking forward to your response to the book suggested by Mommapbs. I also wanted to suggest listening to a Real Player message from a former skeptic at the following link: http://www.johnankerberg.org/RealMedia/ja20000528-rd1.ram This site is also a very good resource for many bible questions: http://www.johnankerberg.org Hope this helps, Pastor Glenn |

62 | Studying O.T. is creating problems. | Genesis | Pastor Glenn | 84911 | ||
More clean animals were needed for sacrifice so more were saved. God did not say "ONLY" two, that would have indeed been a contradiction. "Two" is included in "seven", so this is not at all a contradiction. Gen 7 2You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; 3also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth. Gen 8 20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. The question of who bought the field is not a problem either. It is well understood how others can perform tasks for someone else acting as their agent, especially if they are disabled or dead. Mat 27 5Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself. 6But the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because they are the price of blood." 7And they consulted together and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of Him who was priced, whom they of the children of Israel priced, 10and gave them for the potter's field, as the LORD directed me."[Jeremiah 32:6-9] Acts 1 16"Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; 17for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry." 18(Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. 19And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.) 20"For it is written in the Book of Psalms: "Let his dwelling place be desolate, And let no one live in it';[Psalm 69:25] The question is really of whoses name went on the deed to the property. Who would doubt that it was Judas' name on the deed. Pastor Glenn |

Oops!! The phrase "Submit to God, Resist the Devil" does not belong in this scripture. It was a heading that I inadvertantly copied. 1 Peter 5:5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." [ Proverbs 3:34] James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. (NKJV) Pastor Glenn |

65 | Do you believe in the one true God? | Gen 1:26 | Pastor Glenn | 65531 | ||
Roger Wilco, Definition of eternal: Being without beginning or end; existing outside of time. There is no such thing as eternal sons (small s) of God. This applies to Jesus Christ Son (big S) of God alone. You said, "Galations 3:26, clearly states we are all "sons of God" through faith in Christ. Romans 8:12-17 elaborates. As Christians, we all hope for eternal life." How do we know that someone has faith in Christ without asking? My questions were not intended to tear anyone down. I clearly stated: "Sorry for asking so many questions, but it would help very much so that we know how to respond to your questions." Pastor Glenn |

66 | Creation Account: Mythical or Not? | Gen 1:27 | Pastor Glenn | 85226 | ||
Hank, You are expressing very wise reasoning as you expressed the subtle dangers of "mythical" interpretations. You Conclude: "... We cannot know whether there was any such thing as a serpent who beguiled Eve, or that Eve even existed. We have no historical proof of Eden or the fall of Adam and Eve. Without any reliable account of the fall, therefore, the doctrine of original sin falls apart and with it the idea that we need a savior, thus making Christ's death on the cross superfluous. ..... So which is it? The account of creation is real, factual, historical, true -- or it is mythical, allegorical, fictitious. Does it make more sense to take God at His word and to believe that what He says is the way it is, or to invent ways of explaining away the things we don't understand or feel uncomfortable with or just flatly refuse to believe or accept? " I wanted to point out that "details" such as the subtleness of the serpent are easily ignored while using the mindset of a "mythical" Garden of Eden. We need to see the dangers of the subtleness of sin and the unacceptable doubt that a non-literal Garden of Eden story brings also. We are warned of this by many scriptures: Proverbs 7:10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. Matthew 26:4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him. Acts 7:19 The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live. Acts 13:10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? 2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

67 | Did Adam and Eve go to heaven? | Gen 2:1 | Pastor Glenn | 93799 | ||
gbennett76, You said, "...Eve yielded to the temptation and ate the fruit. When Adam learned what had happened, he wisely chose to partake also therefore being able to obey the command to multiply...." Why do you feel that they could not multiply until they disobeyed God? Please show some scripture to support your statment that this was a wise choice. Pastor Glenn |

68 | Did Adam and Eve go to heaven? | Gen 2:1 | Pastor Glenn | 93810 | ||
Gen 3 17Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, "You shall not eat of it': "Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life. It always better to obey God rather than man or woman. |

69 | How was Jesus of David's seed/line? | Gen 3:15 | Pastor Glenn | 110961 | ||
Jon, Your question is: "How was Jesus of David's seed/line?" Here are scriptures: Luke 1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. Luke 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: Luke 1:69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; Luke 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 3:31 Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David, Luke 6:3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him; Luke 18:38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. Luke 18:39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. Are you desputing some or all of these sciptures? Why? Pastor Glenn |

70 | Do babies go to heaven or hell? | Gen 5:24 | Pastor Glenn | 138164 | ||
Hello Kalos, You, Angel, and Searcher have made some excellent points. Adults who never heard the Gospel--why aren't they saved? ____________________ "...the real issue is not the opportunity to hear the gospel, but the ability to choose to sin." ____________________ I wanted to point out first of all that God's mercy and grace is mentioned countless times throughout scripture. One scripture that helps me in this area is from Revelation 19: 2 For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her." I wanted to emphasize "...true and righteous are His judgments..." is the conclusion made by the "...great multitude in heaven..." (verse 1) Also, Revelation 21: 7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." Notice here "...the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars ..." Would God place babies into this category? John 3 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God." Notice here: "men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. " Would God place babies into this category? I don’t worry about babies going to heaven now that I know God’s ways. Now, as for adults that have never heard, remember that Abram had not heard the Gospel directly. So we can learn a lot by studying how Abram was saved: Heb 11 8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; 10 for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Romans 4 Abraham Justified by Faith Abraham Was Justified by Faith (1) 1 What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?[1] 2For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."[2] 4Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. David Celebrates the Same Truth 5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, 6just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works: 7"Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered; 8Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin." |

71 | Do babies go to heaven or hell? | Gen 5:24 | Pastor Glenn | 138184 | ||
Hello Kalos, I think that my answer goes right along with yours. We must realize that all of these kinds of questions really fall under the larger category of "Is God fair?" God has answered this more general question directly in Eze 18:25-32; 33:10-20, and Jer 31:29-30. On Judgement day, I think that we will be part of that multitude in heaven observing in complete awe at God's ability to make "difficult" judgments look like child's play. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

72 | By the bible, is nuclear winter possible | Gen 8:22 | Pastor Glenn | 84397 | ||
Just Read Mark, Actually I simply asked a question: Is this a promise that "global warming", "nuclear winter" or other disasters will never have the devastation that some scientists predict? "Wow: what a frightening conversation. I do not think the Bible is to be read in this way." But Jesus said "...do not be troubled...": Mark 13 7But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. 8For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles.[1] These are the beginnings of sorrows. "What are you suggesting: that we don't need to fear nuclear proliferation, because the Bible says life will go on? " No, I am not suggesting that we don't need to fear nuclear proliferation, but "this scripture" does comfort us by promising a limit to the devastation. "Christians need to be active and engaged in these moral issues of our time -- not lulled to sleep. " I totally agree. "Perhaps the Genesis text is to assure us that, in taking action, this world can be made better than it is. " I disagree. It is always true that "in taking action, this world can be made better than it is.". However, Remember what has just taken place in this scripture context. The world had just been destroyed by the great flood due to man's violence. God then promises these limits on future destruction: Genesis 8:22 "While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease." "... we are called to be active, to serve, and to suffer for others." I agree with this also. Pastor Glenn |

Hank, Your statement "Darwin's godless theory" is the key to man's acceptance of it. I am always glad to read your faithful words of acceptance of God's great wisdom. Man refuses to accept God's plan and promises: Isaiah 55 7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD , and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. 8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD . 9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Hello New Creature, I thought that this subject would spur much more debate. But, I think that as some forum members read the scriptures they forgot their train of thought when they woke back up after: Gen 11:10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: Gen 11:11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. ........... lets see... 100 plus 500 equals 600. Gen 11:12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah: Gen 11:13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. ............35 plus 403 equals ...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Gen 11:14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: Gen 11:15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. ............. 30 plus ...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Gen 11:16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg: ....... Well New Creature, exactly how old was Jacob when Shem died? I think 50. Pastor Glenn |

Hello Greentwiga, "The geneology of David only lists three people for a fou hundred year period." This geneology that we see in Genesis 11 gives the ages of the fathers when they had a son, as well as, how long they lived afterwards. Geneologies in Chronicles don't do this. It is clear that this particular geneology is not compressed. "The geneology of Jesus drops out known names." I am aware of only two kings' names (I can't remember them off hand) that seem to be missing for some reason from one geneology. However, closer study using literal translations should help show why. I think we will find that certain very wicked kings were not real fathers to appearent sons and their real birth lines were cut off by God's judgement. If you remember a name in question, I think that it is worth investigating. This should not be considered "questioning the authority of scripture". It is simply part of bible "study". I am also aware of this scripture: Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. We are werely counting years, in an effort to see overlapping lifespans. This shows that the accounts of the fall of man and the great flood were probably taught by first, second, and third hand knowledge. This means that information was not passed through many, many generations, as is generally thought. This is very significant, not "vain" at all. Your Brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |

Hello EdB, I also agree that we must be careful. But isn't the burden of proof really on the Reese Chronological Bible to show how they came up with dates that differ from scripture. After all, don't we take the bible as the final authority? What sources do the Reese Chronological Bible give? Your brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |

79 | Did Shem exit the Ark at 98, outlv Abrm? | Gen 11:10 | Pastor Glenn | 140664 | ||
Hello EdB, Yes, I just performed a Google search and came up with this site (among others): http://www.practicalchristianliving.org/timeline.htm If we use Adam's creation and count forward, we see the timeline as shown on this website. This matches a table that I put together from scripture. If I made a mistake, then this website, along with New Creature, also made the same mistake. Our only source is Genesis chapters 5 and 11. Again, these are the only geneologies that include "ages" along Jacob's birthline, so it seems strange how anyone could come up with anything else from scripture. Your Brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |
