61 | Solomon's judgment of Adonijah and Joab | 1 Kin 2:13 | Tamara Brewington | 204044 | ||
Doc you are pure gold! Thanks for the advice... I hear you loud and clear, where text says there is a type, there is a type, where the text says there is a shadow, there is a shadow, where the text draws a parallel, there is a parallel(like in Hebrews about Melchizedek and Jesus). Where there are silimarities those are legitimate similarities but if the various authors did not intend to draw that into a parallel don't make one... Got it Doc. God Bless, Tamara | ||||||
62 | Are there dinosaurs? | Job 40:15 | Tamara Brewington | 204033 | ||
Are there dinosaurs in the Bible? Isaiah speaks of the Leviathan in Isaiah 27:1, and Job speaks of Behomoth in Job 40:15. Are these dinos? Or some other large creature now extinct? Scientists have proved these things exist and have differing opinions of whether or not these things were around before man, or during man. Opinions with any other scriptures please. God Bless, Tamara | ||||||
63 | who was the oldest man | Ps 90:10 | Tamara Brewington | 203966 | ||
Dear Azure its the same as when God said to Adam, in dying you shall surely die. The death was not just spiritual, Adam starting dying until he died, God was gracious in not making him physicaly die right away, but death still came along. Same thing with these men, they may have been born after the flood, but what is important is that God's decree that men would no longer live more than 120 years eventualy went into effect, it did happen...

64 | NT canon in 1st century or 350 AD? | Ps 119:89 | Tamara Brewington | 204133 | ||
Say Steve, I don't think I got this until I just checked the thread... Talkin bout the NT only, my mistake in my question... Got it that Peter refers to Paul, and yes there were authoritative references to most of the NT with the church Fathers, but that was most, not all. 1)Marcion anyone, didn't he have the first known compiled canon and didn't it leave out a vast amount of books in the NT that he didn't believe belonged there? 2)But as to there being a full canon of the NT like we have today, would you give that a date of first century, or 350 AD? 3)Wasn't there ongoing arugumentation amongst the church fathers up till about 350 AD as to whether some of the letters of Paul were to be included, is that wrong or right? God Bless, Tamara |

65 | NT canon in 1st century or 350 AD? | Ps 119:89 | Tamara Brewington | 204391 | ||
Wow, camping, great! Haven't gone since I lived in Washington state as a kid! Thanks a whole buch for getting back to me on this. I was required to go give my pastor an explanation of what my theology class was taught like and this came up. I did go on line trying to study and found out there was a letter from Athanasius that had a complete list of our present NT canon by 365 AD. What I was being taught in class was way off. I was being taught that all, every, book we now have in the NT was accepted as canon in the first century and that there was no contention on any level that they all belonged in the canon, which is clearly incorrect. It helps, thanks again. God Bless, the hat lady |

67 | Praise Dance Wrong Worship? | Ps 149:3 | Tamara Brewington | 205658 | ||
Dear Cheri, Here is something for you in return then, when you look to the side you will see as you scroll down that there are praise dancers of eveyr shade in this thing! Enjoy! Are you familiar with the praise dacing that is done in white face or black face depending on your color with white gloves that is done as a kind of mime dancing? These dancers use no facial expression and use their hand and body motions to praise the Lord to music! It is fascinating and freeing to watch this, but I don't know where to go on line to send this to you. I am going to enjoy this link you sent me very much! Thanks Cheri! you always edifify!, Tamara http://www.christianartistsonline.net/artists-home/task,videodirectlink/id,1711/ |

68 | Praise Dance Wrong Worship? | Ps 149:3 | Tamara Brewington | 205689 | ||
Dearest Doc, You said; I've yet to see any examples in North America of so-called "praise dancing" that reflected a reverential fear of God, and an effort to honor Him in the spirit in which He commands. Instead, it is always something man centered, with exceedingly fleshly aspects. Take the flesh out of it, and there might be some measure of hope of the Holy Spirit's involvement (Galatians 5:17). Could you please expound a bit more here about what you see would be the fleshly aspects and what would be a true display of the reverential fear? No aruguments or disagreements being fired here... How are we to know what is in folks hearts when they praise the Lord by dance? If we saw African Christians moving differently than American Christias move, would we say it was not reverential in the fear of God because it was different? David danced out of his clothes in pure worship of God in joy that the Ark was being returned to its proper place. His wife found that undignified, ungodly, and a disgrace before God and men, she was wrong. I am pretty sure David got fairly active there or he couldn't have danced out of his clothes. Would we, if we were seeing him have felt that his worhship was to "me centered" becuase it was not dignified or even reverential in form? I was under the impression that we should praise the Lord from the heart, whatever the mode and not worry about appearances, with all our heart. I am not insinuating that you are saying different and this is not the beginning of a fruitless argument or an entrance into an ignoring of good advice. You got me to praying and thinking some more about this is all. What do you think? God's Grace To You, Tamara |

Ah John, What an example you are to me, you never cease to be edifying! I am working on this part of my walk, no matter what I say or do to be humble, be full of love and to edify in all that I do and say...

72 | May we claim rewards for tithing? | Mal 3:10 | Tamara Brewington | 205579 | ||
Dear rgarden1, We don't claim things we read in the Bible we receive things we read in the Bible, Malachi was speaking of receiving a promise of God by obedience to His word, not claiming rewards. The Holy Spirit is not waiting around for people to act before He will though, He is already working through people. The question is what is He trying to do? Evangelize always, guide us always. I think the issue of giving to the needs we see around us is important though, but what is the primary role of the church? I will not answer that I will leave room for you to do that... The New Testament teaches grace giving you are on track... II Corinthians 9:7 Each must do as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. However, no one according to this text should be compelled to give for any reason, it has to be from their heart. The Holy Spirit has to do a work in people's hearts before they will open up and give though, just letting people know others need something more than they do won't get people to open up their hearts to give to these needs. Not every church and not every members is called to be a missionary or a missionary church either. Not all pastors except money either, and not all pastors let their boards run them into the ground, or the "stockholders" either. Not all pastors have a second job in a big church and you should not muzzle the ox while he works... It is interesting what you say about reaching out to address needs though, that is a first century church model for sure, see Acts 2 and 4 at the ends. Most folks would not be willing to part with things in order to follow that model, but it is the model... That has always bothered me... That we no longer operate like that, everyone is out for his own interests to make a living and don't think much or often about using what God gave us to do what Jesus said; hungry you fed Me, naked you clothed Me, homeless you housed Me. Ain't nobody gonna take a homeless person off the street are they? They might give em a few bucks, but not a track of land to sell to go get an apartment... Even Christians are not running around doing this for Christians these days. God's Day To You, Tamara |

73 | Carpenter or rabbi? | Matthew | Tamara Brewington | 204637 | ||
Dear Mike, No need to repent to anyone, a question is always legitimate as long as we are truly seeking an answer, doesn't matter if you already have one answer, there is wisdom in wise counsel and it is good to always get a second opinion on what you already know. I do that in here all the time... And remember the only one you ever have to repent to is JC, see I John 1:2... It may seem like the right thing to do when your conscience is bothering you, but it is not a requirement to repent to others about something you have done. Your character must be pretty good Mike if you are concerned about how you are doing on the minors! Keep on asking what ever questions you have for what ever reaon you have, we will all endeavor to answer you with sincerity of heart and remember seeking confirmation is not a sin, or wanting to be right, it may be wanting to make sure you don't teach the wrong thing! Watch out Mike for those who condemn you by commending themselves... Check out that verse sometime. The Bible doesn't say many things about one passage, there is always only one correct interpretation and you are not wrong to be correcting erroneous beliefs about what the Bible says, but those who are perishing will refuse to listen and will begin to argue becasue the message is foolishness to them! God Bless, Tamara |

74 | Reconcile tomb accounts? | Matt 1:1 | Tamara Brewington | 203874 | ||
That was interesting but does not adequately explain the various differences in days and places, or whether or not Peter and John came right away or in three days, or whether Mary saw Jesus before or after telling Peter and John the toms is empty. I was going to say that was a cute answer becuase I keep getting replies that don't realy answer the questions, but offer platitudes instead, but don't want to trivialize your answer because it applies to some of the variations, but not others... Care to give it another go? God Bless... | ||||||
75 | Reconcile tomb accounts? | Matt 1:1 | Tamara Brewington | 203882 | ||
Dear Azure, I agree that the writers were writing with emphasis on differing aspects of the story, you are absolutely right about that part. By looking at it from that light we can deduce that there were two angels and that some writers only spoke about the one who did the speaking. And we can deduce that there was defintely a group of women, not just two or three. What can't be explained by the phenomena of writers writing form different views is the difference of Mary telling the disciples in three days or on the same day and whether or not Peter and John came the third day or the same day and whether or not Mary saw Jesus before she told the disciples the tomb was empty before or after she saw Jesus. Thanks for the link, checked it out, but it is talking about the saints who rose from the dead when Jesus died. God Bless, Tamara | ||||||

OK Azure, I hope you weren't offended I mistakenly though that if my answer was a question, I should say question... I am just learning how to use this site, but doesn't the blog page keep going and going, there is room, I just didn't understand about notes and questions... For instance I notice you have perhaps more blogs here than anyone else and I keep trying to find out how to follow the threads to see both the string of questions and the answers. Perhaps you can help me. whatdoyoubelieve@hotmail.com I am praying that you are not being persecuted for your faith over there and that you are allowed to actualy worship Jesus in church and hear the gospel for real... God bless you. | ||||||
77 | The Father Gives The Holy Spirit | Matt 6:11 | Tamara Brewington | 205460 | ||
Prayer is prose and we find a composition of three petitions as prose, Mathew 6:11-13 up to part a1, sandwhiched in between praise of the Father God in Mathew 6:9,10 with a parenthetical verse, part 2 in Mathew 6:13 of adoration. "The Penteteuch contains some of the earliest examples of Hebrew poetry in all the Old Testament" (SURVEY OF THE OLD TESTATMENT, by Hill and Walton, pg. 50, par. 2). There is an Aaronic benediction which bears the marks of praise as being the entire context of the prayer. The Lord God gives Aaron a benediction which serves as a model of prayer, Numbers 6:22 - 27. There is a lot to be said in the Old Testament about prayer, the Hebrew concepts are rich, the terminology for prayer, along the lines of the different types of Hebrew words used in prayer, is varied and specific to the context of each model of prayer. The context of prayer in Deuteronomy 4:29 is to seek the Lord, :29 But from there you will find Him if you search with all your heart and all your soul, Deuteronomy 4:29. The word Bagas in Hebrew, means seek and is the type of prayer which appears in Deuteronomy 4:29. What is the nature of the Lord's Prayer, is it a petition, a praise, an intercession, a request, a cry for help, a beesching, a weapon, a tool, a desparate cry, an adoration, a charge, an entreaty, a declaration, or a promise? What compels prayer, it is need, or adoration, or the desire to be close to God, or is it sheer desperation. The Lord God in His infinite mercy has provided a place for us to find Him in the conversation of prayer. The Lord God is the one who initiates the conversation, Jesus said in John 10:3, :3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear His voice, and He calls His own sheep by name and leads them out. Jesus initiates the relationship, the sheep hear His voice and they respond to what He says and He leads them. Just as Jesus proclaims that He speaks to us and we hear His voice so too Jesus lets us know that if we abide in Him, He abides in the Father, so we may ask Him whatever we wish, John 15:7. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. The one aspect most people miss about the statement, "ask whatever you wish, is that the disciples needed nothign that the Lord was not aware of; they had already given up everything in the world we might think to ask for when He sent them out without homes, extra money bags, extra sandals, or even a cloak. The Lord Jesus Christ was telling the disciples to ask for whatever tools they needed to perform the ministry He was leaving them to do. He tells them in John 14:16 that they will be given the Holy Spirit. Whey in the Lord's Prayer in Luke 11, are the disciples told in part of Luke 11:13 "how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him". Apparently the point is being made after Luke's rendition of the Lord's Prayer was that Jesus was saying that seeking, and knocking in persistence to the heavenly Father would bring the result that the Holy Spirit would be given to the disciples, not material needs. |

78 | Can we enter the Kingdom now? | Matt 6:33 | Tamara Brewington | 204231 | ||
No problem about the time frame answering a post, most people are working stiffs. Working backwards here; 1)Ephesians 1:13,14 In Him, you aslo, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation - having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory. Contrary to popular belief based on Acts 2:38, this scripture states that as soon as you hear the message of the gospel, having believed, you are sealed in the Holy Spirit. Try this one as well; Acts 10:34-48 in this passage Cornelius and his whole household hear the gospel and even before Peter can finish preaching it everyone is saved having believed and the Holy Spirit entered them before they were able to be baptized in water. So according to these two scriptures it is possible to receive the Holy Spirit because you believe the message of the gospel without first being baptized. 2)There is the kingdom of the devil composed of demons and this earth which he rules. And there is the kingdom of God which is composed of every angel that did not fall who serve God and every saint who got saved, both OT and NT whether dead or alive. Both kingdoms are spiritual kingdoms, on this I believe we agree. 3)Pilate was asking Jesus if He was king of the Jews because the only legal king was Ceasar and to claim another king was treason. So Jesus says His kingdom is not of this world (inhabitants #2889, world) and at the end of verse 18:35 it does not say realm actualy it says hence (not from either side, #1782, hence). You seem to be pointing out a difference between earth and world as making a difference about where Jesus kingdom was while He was walking around on earth. Luke 17:21 says that behold the kingdom is in your midst because Jesus is the ruler of the kingdom and where ever He is is where the kingdom resides. His kingdom is spiritual, yes and we enter it when we get saved and the Holy Spirit enters in, but it goes with His where ever He goes. Right now at this very moment the whole world or earth, I am using them interchangeably, belongs to Satan, the world as it is now is ruled by Satan. Jesus even says Satan is the king of this world. This world does not become the part of the kingdom of Jesus until He comes back and sets up His kingdom, which He took with Him to heaven. This is what I meant by when Jesus was walking around the kingdom was in their midst and that Jesus was preaching the kingdom is at hand, it means He is in their midst as the ruler of that kingdom and their salvation has come. John said John came baptizing with water, but that Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit. We enter into the kingdom through the baptism of the Holy Spirit of Jesus, not water by John. We get baptized in obedience to Christ as an outward sign of our death and resurrection in Christ. Not everyone sees John 3:5 as that the water is referring to water baptism, some of us see it as the water of the womb becuase Nicodemus had just asked if one has to go second time into his mother's womb. Remember Jesus baptism is not with water but with the Holy Spirit. Jesus even goes on to say in John 3:6 that that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the spirit is spirit. Some of us take that to mean that the water of the womb only births flesh but that the spirit births spirit. 4)The Israelites were well familiar with the term Son of Man (see a commentary or two an exegetical one not a devotional one) and understood it to mean the Messiah. The Pharisees, scribes and Sadducees understood the Son of God to mean that Jesus was saying He was equal to God and was therefore also God, see John 5:18-23 and that is why they killed Him for blasphemy. The Jews had no concept of their Messiah also being God, to them Messiah was called the Son of Man and they were expecting him. They were not expecting the Son of God a human equal to God because He was of the same material and nature as God. The fact is the Jews were fighting the idea that Jesus was their Messiah and rejecting the idea altogether that He was God. See Mathew 16:13,14 for who the crowds were saying the Son of Man was the commentators say that the reason for this is becuase some though Elijah was coming back to establish the kingdom and some thought that John the Baptist had come to establish the kingdom and others were waiting for one of the prophets to come and establish the kingdom.
