61 | Did Aaron receive a reward | 1 Chr 23:13 | sonofmom | 235530 | ||
Did Aaron get a reward for the golden calf incident? Some say he was rewarded with the high priesthood, but it looks to me that he already was a high priest | ||||||
62 | Was there a reward! | 1 Chr 23:13 | sonofmom | 235538 | ||
Thanks, Doc. So, what Was the reward that Aaron received? Did he receive a reward? |
||||||
63 | Was there a reward! | 1 Chr 23:13 | sonofmom | 235550 | ||
Doc, thanks for clearing that up. Also, I need to apologize for the typo, -After the word, 'reward' it was meant to be a question mark, and not an exclamation point. Nevertheless, I now feel enriched that I may go back to my new friend and discuss the matter once more. No, it was not from a pulpit, thankfully. |

64 | Questions to ask while Reading the Word | Neh 8:18 | sonofmom | 243215 | ||
Quite interesting concept. I believe different people may say to a pastor that the verse in the sermon touched them that day, and in unconnected scenarios. One may be touched by the Spirit in thoughts on a particular verb and another on a certain noun. But there is something called parabolic constancy that we should all be concerned with. I heard a preacher once who thought he was teaching on the parable where a man found a great treasure in a field and he gave everything to be able to go and buy the field. This pastor was telling us that he himself did the same and had also bought the field. That is when I knew I was listening to a false teacher. This was many years ago so please forgive my foggy recollection but following the parable is Jesus' explanation as to its meaning. The field, is said to be the world. Taking the law of constancy into consideration, everytime the field is spoken of, it will refer to the world. Does this sound right? |

69 | can a person be born evil | Ps 51:5 | sonofmom | 223141 | ||
Hello poorbobbie, Not only CAN we be born evil, we are taught by Scripture that we ARE born evil. Romans 5:12 relates to us, "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. So we have an inherited sin nature, this I'm sure you know. If I may elaborate, we do not have a sin nature because we sin, but we do sin because we have a sin nature. In other words, look at a horse thief. He does not become a horse thief once he steals a horse, but he steals a horse because he is a horse thief. There is no way anybody can steal a horse if they are not a horse thief, and: There is no way we can sin if we do not have a sin nature within ourselves, (which we do have). As it is written (cf Rom 3:10), There is none righteous, no, not one This is the reason why Father God sent His only begotten Son to suffer and die. There is no other reason why a father would want to see his own son tortured to death, but for the greater good of us all. |

70 | What is Ezekial 28:11-17 and Isiah 14:12 | Ezekiel | sonofmom | 231929 | ||
Ezekial 14:12 is believed by many to be talking directly to satan, and I believe the reasons are clear. The chapter begins by talking to the prince of Tyrus (as the KJV has it) but then in the 12th verse, the tone changes abruptly and starts addressing the king of Tyrus. it says, "Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God" (vs 13) And then he is called, "the anointed cherub who covers" There is no earthly king who fits this decription. And, yes, the passage in Isaiah is understood to be about the same fallen angel. blessings to you, son |

71 | (All these) Signs of the end times | Matt 24:33 | sonofmom | 241647 | ||
The Palastine Authority's Saeb Erekat has a plan before the UN,for Palastine to be recognized as a State, and plans for this to happen before the end of the year. The motion recognizes Israel building settlements in the West Bank to be illegal and threatening. They are pushing for the Two-State solution, and with a specific time frame to end Israel's occupation. This is a very exciting time to be alive, as I see God's plan for the end times to be picking up speed. in Matt 24:32, Jesus said, take a lesson from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; (v33) so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.… What things will we look for in addition? Are there other verses that point the way, I am thinking along the lines of a third temple being built. Thank you for your help |

72 | did Romans crucify thieves | Matt 27:38 | sonofmom | 222419 | ||
Does anyone have info whether the Romans actually did or didn't crucify thieves, and if not, were the two men being crucified with jesus really thieves? | ||||||
73 | did Romans crucify thieves | Matt 27:38 | sonofmom | 222453 | ||
Thanks Brad, I had someone telling me that historically Romans did not crucify for the crime of thievery, and I was just wondering if there was any truth to his banter. Blessings son |

74 | God can't die or look on sin! | Matt 27:46 | sonofmom | 225431 | ||
What we are being taught here is reconciliation. Since God is willing to be reconciled to us, therefore, to be reconciled to God should be our top priority. To learn thru God's Word the very length that God has travelled, in order to promote a relationship with us, is unimaginable in my mind. Christ was perfectly pure, or He would have been an imperfect Mediator. The sacrifice He offered was to be made sin. He was not made a sinner, but an object of sin, a sin-offering, and the sacrifice for sin. This is where the design of the hypostatic union is employed, -a perfect plan with a perfect outcome. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,... ... full of grace and truth. (1:12 ) If I may suggest to you that the Word of God was, during those hours of darkness, in the same place as He was during the three days prior to the resurrection, -and during the eternity past- before the Word was made into flesh. The Word was with God. And the humanity of Jesus, who had never committed sin, was laid aside to suffer the wrath of God for our sin. |

76 | Free in Christ | John 8:31 | sonofmom | 240328 | ||
What does it mean to be "Free In Christ"? I am aware of being free from the law of sin and death, but I had a interview with a pastor today who talked of the centrality of God's word and then he claimed to be free in Christ which seemed to allow him some latitude but am not sure what. |

77 | Free in Christ | John 8:31 | sonofmom | 240334 | ||
Thank you, Doc, very much. I am in a class to become a church member, and the leading pastor had said, we were free from sin. I corrected him, saying we are not free from sin, but free from the law of sin and death. (Rom 8) I am not sure if I want to join this church now, as the pastor accused me of being prideful, and again, as I was discussing the practice of infant baptism. I am not in favor of it, the pastor is not in favor either, but he will erform it if the parents want it. I am now thinking this is a compromise on the part of the denomination, and may want to continue shopping for a church home. |

Thank you for your reply, I agree that it is a good thing to have member classes, and I will look into the references you mentioned later tonight. The perfectionism thing scares me, as I thought my wife and I have finally found a church home, and she likes it so much, but we have been to ten churches in the last several years and cannot seem to find a good fit. I realize that no church will be perfect, so I am trying to decide the true depth of the issues where we differ, to see whether they would actually be divisive enough to leave this church, because I know my wife would think not. Yet she also understands that I need to lead my house down the correct path. We have been married only 4 years, and each have children over 30 yrs so it is not a huge issue, but, since my last post, I found the affirmations of this church's denomination, and it maybe actually deeper than what I originally thought. I would like to paste a section of this for your perusal, and if you could be so kind as to post your opinion in the next day or so, I will be exceeding grateful. Lord bless you, and yours. Following, are the 6 affirmations of faith, and then, a paragraph that caught my abrupt attention: We affirm the centrality of the word of God. We affirm the necessity of the new birth. We affirm a commitment to the whole mission of the church. We affirm the church as a fellowship of believers. We affirm a conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit. We affirm the reality of freedom in Christ. The Evangelical Covenant Church celebrates two divinely ordained sacraments, baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Recognizing the reality of freedom in Christ, and in conscious dependence on the work of the Holy Spirit, we practice both the baptism of infants and believer baptism. The Evangelical Covenant Church embraces this freedom in Christ as a gift that preserves personal conviction, yet guards against an individualism that disregards the centrality of the Word of God and the mutual responsibilities and disciplines of the spiritual community. |

Azure, Thank you for your helping heart in this matter. We do use the Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed and etc. I checked briefly into the Church's beliefs before attending, and have been there for a while before being prompted towards becoming a member. However the first member meeting did send up a red flag, when I was told that they actually do perform infant baptism, if the parents prefer that method, however the pastor told me that he instructs the parents that baptism has nothing to do towards salvation. This did not convince me, as I feel that infant baptism leans more towards cultic behavior. That is when pastor Mike started talking about "Freedom in Christ" which started to send up more red flags, but then as I pondered this, I thought that maybe I was being too harsh and decided to consult with this forum |

Additionally, the affirmations of this church do actually mention the Word of God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit, as well as the mission of the Church, fellowship and the new birth. What they do not mention is the inerrancy of the Word, or infallibility and I will be questioning this at the next meeting, since all I have heard is talk about the centrality of the Word, but then there is the infant baptism (only if parents request it) and there is no biblical basis for that. | ||||||
