81 | make no images,why cherubs on ark | Ex 20:4 | humbledbyhisgrace | 201729 | ||
Shofar, God did not say, "make no image". His word says “You, shall not make for yourself…” (Exodus 20:4 NASB). His commandment is speaking to idolatry. The creation of the ark was also commanded by God. He did not direct it to be created for mankind to worship it, rather it was created for Him! See Exodus 25:1-22. There is no contradiction in God! Agreed? Steve |

83 | Help, parents need encouragement! | 2 Tim 3:16 | humbledbyhisgrace | 201363 | ||
Perhaps you can look around the Focus on the Family web site for information. http://www.family.org/ 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NASB) 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 3:17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

84 | A book for hurting parents? | Luke 15:11 | humbledbyhisgrace | 201324 | ||
Yes! The book is Luke and the passage is chapter 15:11-32 From there I would point them to the rest of the bible. Beats any self help book you will find on the shelf! If reading the bible doesn't give them a good understanding of the suffering caused by the disobedient then encourage them to read it again! Steve |

85 | profaning the name of the Lord | Matt 12:36 | humbledbyhisgrace | 200432 | ||
Greetings Linda and welcome to the Study Bible Forum, Perhaps you could ask your co-worker to show you from scripture how you are completely wrong. Also you might want to share with him scripture which speaks to God's holiness (Exodus 15:11, Isaiah 57:15, Leviticus 11:44-45, Leviticus 19:2, Isaiah 6:3, Psalms 22:3, Psalms 99:9, Psalms 99:3, Psalms 99:5, Leviticus 20:26) etc... And perhaps point out to him what God expects of His people in regards to holiness (Hebrews 12:14, Hebrews 12:10, 2 Corinthians 6:14-16, 2 Corinthians 7:1, Romans 12:1, Ephesians 2:21, Ephesians 5:26-27) etc... I would reject any advice that teaches you that sharing "scripture will most likely not have the desired effect" or "if your coworker is not saved, then quoting scripture will most likely do very little to change their thoughts on this matter" or any teaching at all that holds the word of God of little value. These type of teachings should be avoided and unacceptable to a Christian. Contrast such teachings with what God says of His word ( Hebrews 4:12, Isaiah 55:11, John 17:17, Romans 10:17). Cling to His word as you are doing. This not only keeps you from error, but what you share with others is God's truth and not mankind's opinion. I pray God will bless you my sister as you continue to witness of Him to your co-workers. Be bold and always be mindful it is for His glory! Steve |

86 | Is it easy for God to forgive? | Matt 6:15 | humbledbyhisgrace | 199958 | ||
Greetings WOS! Welcome back :-) To all who read let it be known I'm not attempting to teach on this matter. Just thinking out loud! Here are some initial thoughts for consideration. It would seem to me a harder thing for Him to do if He didn't forgive the repentant heart considering the price that was paid. When I consider passages of scripture like is listed below speaking to His lovingkindness, compassion, great love and richness of His grace etc... I'm reminded of His nature. We also know He is just. So in regards to forgiveness of those who repent, not only is He right to do so, but it seems to me He is acting out of His nature. Considering the price that was paid and His nature and your question, I can't help but wonder is it harder for Him to punish those who don't repent then it is for Him to forgive those that do? Psalms 86:5 (NASB) For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You. Nehemiah 9:17b (NASB) ... But You are a God of forgiveness, Gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness; And You did not forsake them. Ephesians 1:7-8a (NASB) 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace 1:8a which He lavished on us... Ephesians 1:5 (NASB) He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will Romans 2:4 (NASB) Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? Ephesians 2:4-8 (NASB) 2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 2:5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 2:6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 2:7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Easy or hard, He is justified in doing so and we can be assured He will (1 John 1:9).

Greetings Sister! Good question :-) The first thing that came to my mind was Romans 13. Considering the governing authorities have by law allowed the deduction it would seem, at least in regards to the law of the land we are within our boundaries as a Christian. However, your thought on giving is an interesting one to consider in the matter. Looking forward to the discussion :-) Steve |

Are you referring to the jehovah witnesses. If so, pray for them, but disregard everything they say. They are a cult who has rejected God and his word. Their teachings are as false as they come! Steve |

95 | What happens when we die? | 2 Cor 5:8 | humbledbyhisgrace | 197633 | ||
Greetings KeKe! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! The information below is taken from my notes. Unfortunately, I failed to note (in my notes) where I got this from so I can't point you to the original author. Sorry about that! Also, you may want to do a search for "soul sleep" on this site. It has been discussed before and you may find some good discussion to help you with this. "The Bible uses different language in different places to describe what happens to us when we die. Often it refers to death as 'sleep' (e.g. Psalms 13:3; John 11:11-14; Acts 13:36; 1 Corinthians 11:30; 15:6,18,20,51; Ephesians 5:14; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-15; 5:10) -- this is the regular way Kings and Chronicles refer to the deaths of kings. In all these cases, 'sleep' is simply a euphemism for 'death.' It is not to be taken literally, as if it indicated 'soul sleep.' "John 11:11-14 provides a good example of 'sleep' as 'death' rather than as 'soul sleep.' When the disciples misunderstood Jesus' reference to Lazarus' death as 'sleep,' he corrected them not by saying that Lazarus soul was asleep, but rather by stating that Lazarus was dead. "One of the more confusing passages in this regard is 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, where Paul speaks of the dead in Christ as being asleep, and as rising only when Christ returns. This may at first give the impression that they are rising from sleep when Christ returns, and that prior to that they are not with him. However, 'rise' (from the Greek anistemi) is not the normal word the Bible uses to describe those who cease to sleep -- 'awake' is. 'Rise' generally refers to the simple act of standing up, but it also refers frequently to the general resurrection when our bodies will rise from the grave (Mark 9:9; 9:10; 12:25; Luke 16:31; 24:46; John 20:9; Acts 10:41; 13:43; 17:3,31). In these cases, the point is not that our souls wake up or rise, but that our bodies do. This being the background of the language of 'rising' (anistemi) in the church, the Thessalonian church would have understood 'rise' (anistemi) in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 to refer to the bodily resurrection, not to awaking from soul sleep. "There is no explicit teaching in Scripture that outlines any doctrine of 'soul sleep,' but it is an inference drawn from the metaphor/euphemism of death as 'sleep.' The Bible does explicitly teach, however, that our souls are immediately present with the Lord upon our deaths. For example, Jesus told the thief on the cross that the thief would be with him that day in paradise (Luke 23:43). Further, Paul explicitly taught that to be absent from the body was to be present with the Lord -- he mentioned no third alternative such as soul sleep (2 Corinthians 5:6-9). Moreover, we have actual examples of people who died but did not experience soul sleep: Moses and Elijah (Matthew 17:3; Mark 9:4; Luke 9:30-31); perhaps Samuel (1 Samuel 28:3-20); and of course Jesus himself (e.g. Luke 23:43). Some would add the debatable example of Abraham, Lazarus and the rich man in the parable of Luke 16:19-31. "When we die, it is fair to speak of us 'sleeping' insofar as we are no longer walking the earth, and insofar as our bodies are not active. In our sleep of death, however, we are conscious and active in the presence of Christ." --Ra McLaughlin Other thoughts: Rev. 6:9-11 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: [10] And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? [11] And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. God bless, Steve |

99 | Would Jesus follow this scripture? | Bible general Archive 4 | humbledbyhisgrace | 197131 | ||
ssongssu, This is God's law, how could it be possible that your way "Wouldn't it be more christian to find out what were the motives of the murderer and try to fix his problems?" be more Christian as you say then God's way? Perhaps you misunderstand what the passage is saying? God created man in His image! He is stating here the value He places on His creation so to speak. To expound a bit more, He is saying man is not to kill man because he was created by God and in God's image and therefore mans life was of great value. So if man takes the life of another, by man his life shall be taken as well. It was meant to be a punishment for mankind destroying that which God had created in His image. For who is man that he has any right to even touch that which is God's unless God Himself grants him that right? I hope this helps! But I must also say this, regardless if you cannot understand His word and/or find it hard to accept as is, you must keep in mind that it is His word and regardless if you agree or not, His way is perfect, pure and holy! He alone is the creator and He alone sets the standards of Holiness and righteousness! Your way and mine could never measure up to His! May He bless you, Steve |
