81 | Is tithing a command for chriatians? | 2 Cor 9:7 | Vintage68 | 214867 | ||
Hi Val Israel is the apple of Gods eye. Therefore, anything that has, or will happen to Israel, God has allowed. Nothing that happens to Israel is out of the control of God. No unforeseen disaster, such as the giving of land, to the Palestinians, will put Israel into any danger that God would not be aware of. It's all in Gods plan. Vintage68 |

Hi Beja My addendum to your post, is only for the purpose of placing a scripture, with your most eloquent dialog. The two following scriptures, clearly demonstrate the teaching of Jesus, on our obligation to be keeping the moral law, as per your statements. Brackets have been added Matt.19:17-19 17.) And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, (keep the commandments). 18.) He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, (Thou shalt do no murder), (Thou shalt not commit adultery), (Thou shalt not steal), (Thou shalt not bear false witness), 19.) (Honour thy father and thy mother): and, (Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself). Matt.22:37-40 37.) Jesus said unto him, (Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind). 38.) This is the first and great commandment. 39.) And the second is like unto it, (Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself). 40.) On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Vintage68 |

86 | Divine intervention? | Bible general Archive 4 | Vintage68 | 214782 | ||
Hi Morant61 The case I put forward is this. There is not (one) place in the Old Testament where the word steward is used, where it is not referring to a person that takes care of the household, ie, belongings of another. In the New Testament there is only (one) time where this same definition can be used. Every other place it is only used in relation to the person dealing with the spiritual things of God. We all know that every (Spiritual Blessing) still belongs to God. We are His (slaves, servants, sons) The illustration of the steward in Luke 16 is a parable. Are you saying, we are to apply a literal interpretation to a parable, in order for us to understand the spiritual truth contained within? There are only two ways in which a parable can be understood. Are we to accept a literal understanding, to a spiritual teaching? If you would look at Matt.13:10-13 you will find a description, on all of the aspects of a parable. Your use of Luke 16:13 is only to be understood as summation of the preceding verses. Nothing more than a lawyer would do in a court room, for a final clarification of the facts. When you say. "Further, Luke 16:11 specifically advises us to be "...trustworthy in handling worldly wealth." "As His servants, everything we have is His and has been entrusted into our care." My answer is, we are no different than the people of the world, God gives them money too! Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Is there anywhere in the bible, where God says, He will be holding "US" to a higher standard than the people of the world, as far as the money He gives to us is concerned? In Acts 5:1 Ananias, and Sapphira, were they judged as bad stewards, over what God had entrusted into their care, or was it because they lied to the Holy Spirit? Therefore we can go back to Luke 16:13 "You cannot serve God, and Mammom" (That is the principle, we should gain) thereby conducting our lives accordingly. But not in the sense of stewards. My point in using this story is, specifically for what Peter said to Ananias, and Sapphira Acts 5:4 4.) Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. Do we not also have power over what God has entrusted into our care? When He gives to us, does it stay His, or are we only holding it for Him? We pay tithe, thereby God says the rest is ours? I am not trying to split hairs, but when we are doing exegesis, do we not try our best to find the exact correct Greek, or Hebrew words for the passage we are studying in order for us to better understand any given verse? Should we not be doing the same when speaking our own language, expressing our beliefs to others? I understand you know Greek pretty well. Can you show me where the word (steward) in the bible is used for a person that has their own belongings? Or is that a different Greek word? Vintage68 |

87 | What does the Bible say about gambling? | Ex 20:17 | Vintage68 | 214733 | ||
Hi Humility Your question is, "What does the Bible say about gambling?" This is the only scripture that even comes close to speaking of gambling. Matthew 27:35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots. Psalm 22:18 They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing. But as you can see, it really does nothing more than describe the same type of event that took place when the land of Israel was divided between the tribes. Joshua 18:10 Joshua then cast lots for them in Shiloh in the presence of the LORD, and there he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their tribal divisions. This casting of lots then is nothing more than a fair way of making decisions that all parties involved would agree to. But to be answering your question. There "IS NOT" any mention of gambling in the Bible. Therefore any answer stating more than "gambling, is not spoken of", is only speculation, assumption, religious doctrine, or personal belief. And our gracious host the Lockman Foundation will not allow us to delve into such discussions, as per the terms we all agreed to. You will have to do the same as others have done, deciding in your own heart, what you personally think God allows. Vintage68 |

Hi john "Basically sin is rebellion against God". Don't want to step on any toes here but, the statement made is a misrepresentation of what the "Word" says that sin actually is. 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Now looking at the law, did she break the law? Matt.22:37,39,40 37. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 39. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Well (Matt., and Rom.) answer the question for me. If she was in the same position they were, she would want them to do for her, what she did for them. Then in doing so, she was fulfilling the law even though she did not have the law. She became righteous in her act, and God showed her mercy for that unselfish act. Vintage68 |

Hi Keliy Thanks for the answer. The math on Shem was a good piece of information. Your right, It would take someone like Branham to come up with the Twin theory, in light of the two scriptures in there original context. Genesis 4:1, 2 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. Vintage68 |

Hi justme The answer that (humbled) gave is confusing at best, even when it is understood. But the idea isn't risky at all, or any fear of temptation even though it is farout. To fully grasp his answer, you at first have to understand that he said it was an (EMPTY) bottle. "I'm a christian, and I carry an empty bottle of an extremely high alcoholic substance around in my back pack everytime I go to work." Vintage68 |

95 | This generation will not pass away.... | Bible general Archive 4 | Vintage68 | 214211 | ||
Hi John "Matthew 3:7, "Generation of vipers" equals brood of vipers." Jesus was talking to the people present with Him, I would then say that they would fall into the catigory of the people in 24:34. His contemporaries. "24:34, "This generation" equals the persons then living contemporary with Christ." You have made the point, they were the contemporaries of Christ. All of the other verses that I listed, were to be able to see that both John, and Jesus were talking about, and to the people of that Generation, not to some generation in the far distant future, in particular us at the end of the age. All of the verses used are in context to the time of Jesus, they were also used by Him, about the Jews then living in Israel. So they should not to be confused with any other use of the word generation. Vintage68 |

96 | This generation will not pass away.... | Bible general Archive 4 | Vintage68 | 214209 | ||
Shalom skccab, You are soooo right when you say, "I've always understood that verse to mean that the generation living when "these things" begin will not die out before the great tribulation is ushered in...:o)" But in light of these scriptures, which generation was Jesus speaking of? And why? Let scripture speak. John the Baptist spoke to them about the wrath to come. Jesus during his ministry spoke many times using the term "this generation" and what "they" were like. I have capitalized for emphasis. Matt.3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O GENERATION OF VIPERS, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Matt.11:16 But whereunto shall I liken THIS GENERATION? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, Matt.12:34,39,41,42,45 34.) O GENERATION OF VIPERS, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 39.) But he answered and said unto them, AN EVIL AND ADULREROUS GENERATION seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 41.) The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with THIS GENERATION, AND SHALL CONDEMN IT: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, BEHOLD, A GREATER THAN JONAS IS HERE. 42.) The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with THIS GENERATION, AND SHALL CONDEMN IT: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, BELOLD, A GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE. 45.) Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. EVEN SO SHALL IT BE ALSO UNTO THIS WICKED GENERATION. Matt.16:4 A WICKED AND ADULTEROUS GENERATION seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed. Matt.17:17 Then Jesus answered and said, O FAITHLESS AND PERVERSE GENERATION, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. Matt.23:33,36 33.) Ye serpents, YE GENERATION OF VIPERS, HOW CAN YOU ESCAPE the damnation of hell? 36.) Verily I say unto you, ALL THESE THINGS SHALL COME UPON THIS GENERATION. Matt.24:34 VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU Verily, THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS, TILL ALL THESE THINGS BE FULFILLED. Mark 8:12,38 12.) And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth THIS GENERATION seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto THIS GENERATION. 38.) WHOSOEVER THEREFORE SHALL BE ASHAMED OF ME AND OF MY WORDS IN THIS ADULTEROUS AND SINFUL GENERATION; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Mark 9:19 He answereth him, and saith, O FAITHLESS GENERATION, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. Mark 13:30 VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS, TILL ALL THESE THINGS BE DONE . Luke 3:7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O GENERATION OF VIPERS, WHO HATH WARNED YOU TO FLEE FROM THE WRATH TO COME? Luke 7:31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of THIS GENERATION? and to what are they like? Luke 9:41 And Jesus answering said, O FAITHLESS AND PERVERSE GENERATION, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither. Luke 11:29-32,50,51 29.) And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, THIS IS AN EVIL GENERATION: THEY SEEK AFTER A SIGN; AND THERE SHALL NO SIGN BE GIVEN IT, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 30.) For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, SO SHALL ALSO THE SON OF MAN BE TO THIS GENERATION. 31.) The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of THIS GENERATION, AND CONDEMN THEM: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, BEHOLD, A GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE. 32.) The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with THIS GENERATION, AND SHALL CONDEMN IT: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, BEHOLD, A GREATER THAN JONAS IS HERE. 50.) THAT THE BLOOD OF ALL THE PROPHETS, which was shed from the foundation of the world, MAY BE REQUIRED OF THIS GENERATION, 51.) From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, IT SHALL BE REQUIRED OF THIS GENERATION. Luke 17:25 BUT FIRST MUST HE SUFFER MANY THINGS, AND BE REJECTED OF THIS GENERATION. Luke 21:32 Verily I say unto you, THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS AWAY, TILL ALL BE FULFILLED. food for thought:-() Vintage68 |

98 | "The bride is always ready" | John 14:3 | Vintage68 | 213892 | ||
Ancient Israel had some customs and practices that would not be allowed in our culture today. One such custom was the engagement process. A young man in his 20s would go with his father to the village where the girl whom he was to marry lived with her parents. While there, the young man and his father would meet the girl, about 14 yrs.old, and her father for the first time. A Jewish matchmaker called a (shadkhan) would put the young man and woman together based on yihus (stock, family background, reputation in the community and personal virtue). Jewish marriages placed an emphasis on love after marriage, as opposed to marring the one you loved. When the young man arrived at the young woman's house, the two fathers would settle on a "bride-price." Payment by means of money or material items was a way of honoring the family that would be loosing the daughter. When the price was settled, the young man's father would pass his son a cup of wine. The young man would drink from the cup then pass the cup to the young woman, signifying that he wanted her to be his wife and that he was giving his life to her. If she drank from the cup, she was in effect saying, "I want to marry you. I accept your life, and I will give you mine." Then the young man and his father would travel back to their village where the young man would begin building a room onto his parent's home. Generations of son's would build on to the house, creating what is called (insula), a house with many rooms. The young man would work on his house until his father, the only person who could give a final approval for the new home, would say "it is ready. Go and receive your bride." While the young man worked on the new house, the bride-to-be would make wedding clothes and learn to take care of a home. She was expected to always be ready for his return at any moment. During this time of preparation, all of the people in the young woman's village would refer to her as "one who has been brought with a price." Eventually the house would be ready, the young man's father would give his approval and send his son to receive his bride. When the bridegroom would enter the village of the bride-to-be, he would blow a shofar and all the people of the village upon hearing the horn would know the bridegroom had arrived. A wise bride would be ready when her bridegroom arrived. Therefore those who have been preparing, and making themselves ready for the groom will join him when he returns, sending his angles to sound the trumpet. John 14:1-3 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." ---(Jonathan Gainey) |
