61 | In the beginning | Gen 1:1 | keliy | 221733 | ||
CDBJ, I know you are very strong in your belief about this teaching, but what I said in my post was, "Angels definitely are created beings, and are part of the universe that God created" Then, I said that God said all was good, "very good" at the end of His creation process. Hoth was kind enough to list the verses for us, or six of them anyway. God said that He saw that it was good once each day for the six days, and then He said it again, in the end for the seventh time. (I just like that number 7) So this is the reason that I said there was no evil angels prior to Gen 1:31. God said at that point that everything was good. I do not doubt that there were angels. But my understanding of the Bible says that at the end of Gen 1, Everything God had created was all good. That makes it quite clear that the Lucifer's flood theory is nothing more than another heretical teaching. I will ask you to stop undermining the Word of God on this Forum. |

What's up, doc? Are you saying that age or length of history allows one to violate the terms of use? Shall I truckle over to his doctrines for that reason alone? Should God's word take a back seat to age? I tried to straighten him out as to what my post said earlier but he continued to push his heretical views. He read my post with little spurious effort and he deserved what he got. I am not sorry for asking him to go elsewhere. |

63 | creation | Gen 2:2 | keliy | 220930 | ||
Hi Rick, It is my conviction that if we are not able to accept the first 3 chapters of Genesis as God's account of history, then we must throw out the entire Bible. Where does it end? who are we to decide where God is fact and where He is fiction? To read Genesis as a "Picture" leaves the whole account wide open to interpretation. What follows then, is that we have as many interpretations as we have viewers of this 'picture'. This actually does nothing towards addressing the poster's question. -That is, if we all just used our imagination to answer questions, what is to stop anyone else from doing the same? I certainly do not want to appear as if the SBF is ganging up against you, but in genuine concern, it troubles me that people can pit their own limited knowledge against God's infinite wisdom. So. are you a conservative? humanist? or post-modernist? Please fill us in. It helps us to know how to answer. Lord bless you and yours. Note to JacobP: It is my firm understanding that The seven days of the creation account were literally seven, twenty-four hour periods. |

Shalom pastor Beja, I would like to comment on some details in your post, if I may. In reading your words, I see that you refer to 1Cor 11:8 as a highly disputed passage. ( I agree, and think how these verses are played out may never be resolved to everyone's satisfaction) -Although God's word is very clear. But I see the basis for man's authority going beyond what you have mentioned in verse 8. Near the end of Gen 2, when God formed every kind of animal and bird, He brought them to Adam to choose a name for each one. This was prior to woman ever being mentioned. What this says to me is that God had a relationship with man, and He bestowed upon this man a knowledge of His will. So, this actually is saying less about who was 'older' per se, but brings into play the rank of the 'firstborn' and the relationship that the firstborn has with the father. It is the same reason that I see for why a woman is not allowed to have authority over man. It is no different with my older brother, and I would be wrong to try to exercise misplaced authority over him (not that I never try ;o) And it actually has less to do with gender, because I have an older sister too, and I defer to her out of respect, without feeling that I am disobeying Paul's command. This has nothing to do with the fall, or the creation, but as you said, Paul was setting forth what took place in creation prior to the fall. Just my viewpoint, and I thought I would add a little 'flavor' to your post. blessings, keliy |

Thank you, Azure. No, I never pictured you as a feminist. (0: I guess what I was trying to say, was that your choice of words "ruling power" somehow rubbed me wrong. I guess you are right in the rule sense, but it is not with power that Adam possessed in himself, but he was to rule through the power that he received from God. Does this make more sense? We can relate this to king Solomon, who was offered anything he could possibly desire by God. Yet the one thing he asked for was the wisdom to rule God's people. -I think that was a request containing much wisdom, don't you? (o; joyful blessings, keliy |

Okay, I meant his own family, brothers and sisters notwithstanding. As for speculation on Scripture, I have read many commentaries, take Revelation for instance. It is possible to pick up the works of 10 commentators and get no less than 12 explanations of the verses. May I ask you, are you at odds with them as well? Do you judge me for doing my best, if my best is not faultless? If there is no response to a query, is it wrong to start a dilogue with my best understandings, or would we actually fare better to leave well enough alone? Speaking alethes in agape, keliy |

God's Blessings to you as well, Senicienta; You are doing fine, thank you for sharing with us on the Forum. We all started at the same place in computers as well as in Bible study. That place of course, was as 'a beginner'. Keep up the good work, and remember, if God leads you to it, He will lead you through it. It is always a pleasure to hear from you. Grace and Peace to you. keliy |

72 | ... | Ex 31:16 | keliy | 212845 | ||
Hello awanee Welcome to the forum, and thank you for the question. My recollection of the history is a bit vague, so I will not try to get into many details at this point. The church is not attempting to command feasts or holydays -at least in my eyes. The question to you, is, "Who is the church?" My answer would be that the church is the Body of Believers of who Christ is the Head, and as such we are commanded to obey all authority, as I suppose they did under Constantine, who was not necessarily a practicing Christian. King Constantine was not the 'Church' when he commanded the changing of the Sabbath into Sunday, because this is not how it happened. The Romans tried to beat down Christianity but failed King Constantine, in order to expand his territory (approx 313 AD) decided to allow Christianity which was, up until that time, an unlawful practice. This was quite a bold move for his time yet was quite successful. Actually the Jews, since 70 AD had no more Temple to make sacrifices in order to observe 'the Law'. And, Jesus said, I came not to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it." The Jews made sacrifices in the OT because there was no remission of sin without the shedding of blood. Jesus' Blood put an end to blood sacrifices because there was nothing to add to the completeness of His work on the Cross. This is His New Covenant. It was the Apostles who knew Jesus inimately that began celebrating the day of His resurrection as 'The Lord's Day' This is not Protestants, or any believer contradicting any law or precept or even themselves. This was a New Cause to celebrate and remember that Jesus death and Resurrection has fulfilled the Law and released us all from its rule. So, this is not the institution of a festival, it is just keeping a time for remembrance. Jesus said, "Do this in remembrance of Me." Again, this is just how I remember, and I welcome any additions or corrections. Lord Bless, keliy |

73 | ... | Ex 31:16 | keliy | 212896 | ||
Yes, you are right. If I may make make a slight correction. According to Judaism 101:Jewish Calendar, The Jewish calendar coordinates all of three astronomical phenomena. The rotation of the Earth about its axis (a day); the revolution of the moon about the Earth (a month); and the revolution of the Earth about the sun (a year). Months are either 29 or 30 days, corresponding to the 29½-day lunar cycle. Years are either 12 or 13 months, corresponding to the 12.4 month solar cycle. http://www.jewfaq.org/calendar.htm I however, think that the biblical evidence points to a complete week of 7 days. keliy |

Blessings to you, Rajeeb. First, I would suggest that we should start by comparing the two religions. It would also be obvious that offering a comparison of Christianity and Hinduism is quite a challenging task. I might begin by pointing out that Hinduism is not exclusive and accepts all religions as valid. On the other hand, Christianity, teaches that Christ is the only way to God. The Bible tells us in John 14:6, "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.' As a Christian, I must believe that Jesus could not be telling a lie, because He is truth and truth is a product of reality. It is not possible for two opposing statements to be equally valid. Where we see the contradiction, we must also find the error. Either Christ was wrong or He was right when He claimed to be the only path to God. Both Christianity and Hinduism hold beliefs which appear similar, but there is a major difference that is not to be overlooked. In Hinduism, as well as Judaism, we find a sort of compensation being made for sins through sacrifices to an angry God. Both religions teach that this is done through animal sacrifice. The culmination of these sacrifices for sin is found only in Christianity. This is where God's love for His creation is made evident. I can think of no other religion that teaches of their Savior being made a sacrifice for the sins of anyone else. Jesus explains His love for us in John 15:13, "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." We have all done things we know are wrong. Both Hinduism and Christianity relate the divine commandment of "perfect righteousness" and also that we are to be held accountable for our actions. The difference is that Christianity preaches the penalty for our sin has already been paid by the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. To become a Christian is to accept by faith that this ultimate sacrifice is sufficient and through the grace of God we are able to avoid the ultimate penalty. There are many people who are much better at explaining the dynamics of this than I. Two of them are Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron, and I suggest you listen to their video messages at www.wayofthemaster.com/ In His Love, keliy |
