61 | What is a Nephilum? | Gen 6:4 | ebrain | 161401 | ||
The only verses that I can bring to mind which appear to support my view, are found at 2nd Peter Ch 2 vs 4-5. It would appear that the Jews who produced the Septuagint, when looking for a suitable Greek word to represent what they understood the Nephilim to be,chose Titan. If you Doc can quote a Scripture to indicate that my conclusion is incorrect, then please do so, or otherwise give me your considered opinion as to who you think the Nephilim were?. Respectfully yours. Edwin Brain. |

62 | What is a Nephilum? | Gen 6:4 | ebrain | 161672 | ||
Thank you Doc, you are of course right, I should have prefaced my remarks in the way you suggest, and not allowed speculation to be considered as fact. What was in my mind at the time was attempting to answer a question that was mearly academic, and in no way could it be considered as Basic Foundational Christian Doctrine. Your point is taken, however, and I shall in future endeavor to be more carefull. Thank you again for your fellowship. Every blessing. ebrain |

64 | what is the history --tectragrammton | Gen 15:2 | ebrain | 181584 | ||
Hi Searcher56. What follows may be of interest to you, it is an e-mail I sent over three years ago to a brother in the UK. Subject: The Divine name. I want so much to share what the Lord has shown me with others of like mind. Did you know for example that when you meditate upon the four letters YHWH that form most Holy of all names of our Lord. It can be shown that God is three persons, that Jesus is the second person, that He is both human, and Divine, that He left Heaven to come down to earth, and returned back to Heaven again. All that contained within the one name that we translate as "I AM" Do we really have any idea of the incredible wonder of our Lord. Personally I am overwhelmed with what has been revealed to me in 42 years. Please forgive me for going on like this, I was thinking about the word "Tetragrammaton", this word as I am sure you know means "The 4 letters", and refers the 4 Consonants that form the Divine name, but there are not 4, only 3 one of which is repeated, if we ignore for a moment the last letter, and think only of the first 3, all of which are different (Unique), could this be drawing our attention to, Father, Son, and The Holy Spirit?, If so what about the 4 th letter, does it by being a repetition of the second letter draw our attention to the second person of the Trinity?. If so He is not only in the center of the Godhead, but also outside it at the same time. The only person who can be in two places at once is God Himself. Also is the second appearance of this second letter at the end of the name telling us that Jesus left the Godhead to come to earth, and then in due course returned back again?. Remember verse 13 in John Ch 3, which says "No man has ascended into Heaven, but He who came down from Heaven" (Some versions add "Who is in Heaven") Must close now, more later. God bless you. Edwin. I wrote the above over two years ago, I wonder why our attention is drawn to the Deity of the second person, could it indicate the Father's anticipation of the teaching's of JW's, Mormons, and others who do not accept that Jesus is God ? Every blessing. Edwin |

66 | Faith | Gen 32:10 | ebrain | 179027 | ||
Hi mae68. The best defination of "Faith", that I know of is found at Hebrews 11:6. where we are told " But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." The first part of this verse presents no problem, as all people know that God really exists, even if they say they dont. The second part which reads "and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Is the hard bit, for it enables you to know if you really are exercising true faith, for example, do you really know that He will reward thoes who do diligently seek after Him? Is that the state of your mind, when you request something in prayer? see Mark 11:24, and 1st John 5:14, you will find that Matthew 6:8 will help you to understand Mark 11:24. May the Lord bless you, and keep you safe. ebrain. |

67 | Should a woman pursue a man? | Gen 39:7 | ebrain | 159659 | ||
As far as I am aware, there is no Scripture forbidding a woman to indicate to a man that she is interested, but she must not do what Potiphar's wife did. | ||||||
68 | Why was his heart hardened? | Ex 4:21 | ebrain | 163496 | ||
Thank you for your post. Would you please read Ezekiel 33:11, and 2 Peter 3:9, and tell me how it is possible to reconcile "I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked", and "not wishing that any should perish, but but that all should reach repentance", with John 12:40, which you quote? Please explain why the Lord who has made it clear that He does not will that any should perish, then appears to be saying that He hardens hearts to stop them from being healed? |

Thank you Steve for your post. I have never said that the Lord did not harden Pharaoh"s heart, What I am concerned with is the implications of this, and how it was done. The means employed by the Lord is made clear in Exodus 7:13. 8:15, and 32. 9:7, and 34. Five times, it is clear that Pharoah hardened his own heart, before at 10:1, the Lord says to Moses "I have hardened his heart". Anyone can harden another persons heart, just try preaching the Gospel to a crowd of unconverted people, and see what reacation you get. At Ex 4:21, the Lord tells Moses what is going to happen at 10:1, If the Holy Spirir has caused it to be recorded five times that Pharoah hardened his own heart,before one reaches 10:1, then there is a very good reason why He has done so. The above is how I understand it was done, the implications thereof I hope to deal with in a another post. I hope Steve that this is of help to you, If you would like further clarification, then please ask. |

71 | Why was his heart hardened? | Ex 4:21 | ebrain | 163742 | ||
Yes you are correct in your understanding of what I was attempting to convey. Take for example the verse to which you drew my attention, i.e. Ex 4:21. in this verse our Lord not only says that He will harden Pharaoh's heart but reminds Moses to be sure to perform all the miracles that the Lord had put in his power. Now why do you think it is put this way?, because it is as a result of these miracles that Moses must perform that Pharaoh's heart will be hardened, after all it is God who performs the miracles, Moses is just the agent through whom it is done. P.S. I will deal with your question on Ezekiel. and 2nd Peter seperatly. Every blessing. Edwin. |

72 | Why was his heart hardened? | Ex 4:21 | ebrain | 163747 | ||
Thank you Steve for your post. I thought I was sending one to you, but sent it (3:14pm to day) to Mark in error, so please read same, and it will put this post into persoective. Ezekiel, and 2nd Peter were refered to as a contrast to John 12:40, this latter verse was drawn to my attention by Mark, who I in turn asked to reconcile it with E and P above. At first glance, it would appear that these verses disagree with each other, and that is exactly why I used the word "appear" in an eairler post. Of course Scripture does not dissagree with itself, and whats more it cannot be made to do so. There must therefore be another explanation, and that is what I wanted when I asked for a reconciliation of these verses. Yours because I am His. Edwin. |

Hi Mark. I have no problem with the first two paragraphs of your post, but what Biblicl indication do you have that Pharaoh had a free will? As Jesus said "you are of your father the devil, and his will you wish to do", John 8:44. Now tell me in what way were you, I, and for that matter Pharaoh any different whilst we were unconverted. Yours, because I am His. Edwin. |

75 | Why was his heart hardened? | Ex 4:21 | ebrain | 163777 | ||
Hi Mark. My use of the word "appears" is due to the fact that Scripture does not disagree with Scripture, although, it may "appear" to do so due to the limitations of human ability to comprehend. That is why I asked you to help me to reconcile the apparent contradiction of John 12:40, with Ezekiel 33:11, and 2 Peter 3:9. I look forward your reply with eager anticipation. Christian love. Edwin. |

Thank you Jeff for your kind words about me at the start of paragraph two of your post to Mark. If you would like to know a little more of just what it is that I believe, perhaps you would be good enough to read other material contributed by "ebrain" since the date of your post above, If you do, I would value your comments. Yours in Christ. ebrain. P.S. Oh and by the way my gender is male. |

Thank you Jeff. Many years ago I read a book by "A W Pink" entitled "The Sovereignty of God", this book I found most helpfull, you may of course allready have it, but if not then I can strongly recommend it, copies can be obtained from www.amazon.com Regarding the responses in this thread, I can certainly say that they are both interesting, and informative. Thank you again for your comments. The Lord bless you. Edwin |

78 | Ref to love slave in N.T. Is there any? | Ex 21:5 | ebrain | 165710 | ||
Hi Chris. Let me share something with you that the Lord showed me when I first read Ex 21:1-6, and also Deut 15:12-17. It was pointed out to me that the master is a type of God the Father, the servant a type of Jesus, the wife that the master gives to the servant, a type of the church (the bride of Christ). When the servant says "I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free". Then the master in effect says "you know that there is a price to pay don't you?" "yes I know that" says the servant. Very well then says the master, and he takes the servant to God ("the Judges", Amplified Bible), and from Judgment to a place symbolic of execution, the vertical wooden door post, the servant standing with his back to it, allows an awl (picture of a nail) to be driven right through his flesh into the woodwork. Jesus will serve the master forever, see 1st Cor 15:28. |

Sorry, I should have included these verses also. Exd 33:21 And the LORD said, "Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock. Exd 33:22 "So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. Exd 33:23 "Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen." Every blessing. ebrain. |

Esther I am told does in fact contain the name LORD, but only subliminaly, in the Hebrew, if you take every 21 st letter it spells out "yod" "hey" "vah" "hey". "I AM". Source, I think is Chuck Missler of khouse.org |
