No... And like everyone else, you may ask "then where did Cains wife come from?" Now that's a topic for another discussion. George |

83 | Is God he, she or neither? | Gen 2:4 | GeorJoy | 90420 | ||
Does it really matter? What does it say in the word? “Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” So… Why would it be any different for God? Mar 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. In our limited understanding, we must look on Him as one or the other. I would recommend that one should take the bible as truth and not try to add to or subtract from it. For as it says in Rev 22:19; “And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” I would say that one would be wise to heed this warning as to the rest of Gods word as well... I should also think that before answering any such a question as yours, one should seriously consider what is said in Mat 18:6 (GNB); "If anyone should cause one of these little ones to lose his faith in me, it would be better for that person to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be drowned in the deep sea.” I, personally think of God as a “HE,” simply because HIS word depicts such. I believe however in what I stated from the word above, and my comments thereon. “there is neither male nor female…” George |

84 | Why would God do that? | Gen 2:7 | GeorJoy | 89512 | ||
Let me answer your question with a question or two. (1) Why would a person plant a garden, knowing that there are going to be weeds in it? (2) If automobiloes could speak, would a Model A have had the right to ask Henry ford, "With all my imperfections, you know I'm going to end up in the junk yard, why have you created me? or why didn't you create me with air conditioning, an AM/FM sterio CD player and plush interior? You knew they would all be invented." "I am the potter. You are the clay." George |
||||||
85 | Why would God do that? | Gen 2:7 | GeorJoy | 89521 | ||
IT IS NOT HIS WILL THAT ANYONE SHOULD PERRISH. (GNB) Jer 18:5 Then the LORD said to me, 6 "Don't I have the right to do with you people of Israel what the potter did with the clay? You are in my hands just like clay in the potter's hands. Isa 29:16 They turn everything upside down. Which is more important, the potter or the clay? Can something you have made say, "You didn't make me"? Or can it say, "You don't know what you are doing"? YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO ASK. Isa 45:9 Does a clay pot dare argue with its maker, a pot that is like all the others? Does the clay ask the potter what he is doing? Does the pot complain that its maker has no skill? However, finding the answer you desire may more be a little difficult. I reciently read in a good commentary, the clossest thing I have ever seen to being a good answer to your question. The only problem is that I can't remember what topic I was researching or which commentary ity was. I think it may have been predestination that I was researching. This topic concerns me as much as yours does you. In actuality, they are one in the same. HERE IS YOUR ANSWER... Whether or not you can or will accept it is up to you. GOD KNEW BEFORE HE CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH THAT YOU AND I WOULD BE RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, DOING JUST WHAT WE ARE DOING AT THIS VERY MOMENT. LIKEWISE HE KNEW WHAT YOUR DECISION AND MINE WOULD BE AS TO THE ACCEPTANCE OF HIS SON AND HIS WORD. DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DECISION IS GOING TO BE? If you don't. I would suggest you figure it out. For no one can do it for you... I pray you will understand what has been given me to give you. If you don't, perhaps your time is not yet. Don't let it worry you. Continue your search. Continue to pray. Continue to ask. For our Lord has appointed a time for EVERYTHING. Even ones salvation. IT IS NOT HIS WILL THAT ANYONE SHOULD PERRISH. Praise His loving name! George |

He wasn't attacking you. He was discribing "Man" in general. All the answers ARE in The book. If one sincerely desires them, they will find them. If one is looking for what they will accept as an answer, they will likely not find it. George |

Searching333, Keep on Searching. You are Gods Word proven and come to life. Ask and ye SHALL recieve, "Seek and ye SHALL FIND." I learned early in life that the only dumb question is the one that was not asked. To date, I don't get all my answers either. I often have to simply "go on faith." And, that AIN'T ALWAYS SO SIMPLE. Yet it IS so simple! I complicate my life by not accepting that simple fact... I once read that "if understanding came b4 acceptance, there would be very little that we would accept." Ponder that. Once one has accepted that fact, he has entered the doorway to wisdom and understanding. It is funny though, that if my question is a sincere one, eventually the Lord gives me the answer. Sometimes it's the next time I turn on the radio. Others it is through hard work and study, which gives me a hollow satisfaction, still it is satisfaction. I am most satisfied when He "proves" to me that He knows and provides for me. Am I silly, foolish, lazy, or just just overjoyed that He has even the slightest interest in one such as myself??? I pondered your question in the form of "pre-destination" for 30 years or more. I only reciently ran across the answer. And I wasn't even looking for it! God bless George |

And there are those of which wouldn't know the truth if it hit them in the face. Others whose time is not yet. This is no cause for disagreement. I see no mystery in what was said. My response was biblically correct. If it is not ones time, let him disagree. That does not make it untrue. George |

89 | Why would God do that? | Gen 2:7 | GeorJoy | 89766 | ||
In most cases, this one included, I would have to say that," often he who it (hurts) the most, feels the guiltiest, or (understands) the least, yells the loudest." George |

90 | Why would God do that? | Gen 2:7 | GeorJoy | 89772 | ||
You are correct. "Hell was not originally created for man." So says the word. It was intended for Satan and his rebellious angelic followers. Which would you consider worse; a rebellious angel, or an individual who continues to rebell by not accepting the word of the King, (and, or) the fact that He sent his ONLY Son to pay the price for our evil deeds? We are all siners! Anyone who says he is not, is a LIAR AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM! He only decieves himself. We are saved by the GRACE of God, and that is by nothing we have in any way earned. For ALL HAVE SINED AND COME SHORT OF THR GLORY OF GOD. In this complicated environment in which we live, some simply can not comprehend the utter simplicity of salvation. What difference does it make what one believes? NONE!!!! As long as one believes in what I just stated; knows and admits in his heart that he is desirving of death and eternal damnation and confess', and asks for forgiveness; he or she "IS SAVED." However, as some would have you to think, this is not all there is to it .... Christian life is not as easy as one might hope. It was never said that it would be. It was said though that the old man would be passed away and all things would become new. "BY THE RENEWING OF THE MIND." This is not something that just happens! One must Live the Life once saved. Read Pauls letter to the Galations. Then read it a second time. It's a short book. He had preached the Gospel to them, but there were those who wanted to add to that Gospel. Find out what he said about those who wanted to add to what he had said. George |

Dear soul, was it not specified in the 10 commandments (Exo 20:13) that "Thou shalt not kill?" Is killing an unpardonable sin? No. Must we ask to receive forgiveness? Yes. Will a sin laden person enter the gates of heaven? No. If one kills himself, does he not commit sin by killing? Will that one receive forgiveness for that final sin? NO! George |

94 | ...liars, shall have their part in.... | 1 Sam 21:1 | GeorJoy | 102304 | ||
I know that my ignorance is only superceded by my love of God and His Word, so will someone please try to put the following into the correct perspective for me? I was reading in 1 Samuel chapter 21, when the following thought occurred to me. Our Lord says concerning liars; Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a --liar, and the father of it.-- And in Pro 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: Pro 6:17 A proud look, a ---lying tongue,--- and hands that shed innocent blood, And Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all ---liars,--- shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. In no way is the sin of lying upheld in scripture. Yet there are occurrences therein where the individual tells “what appears” to be a blatant lie, and is either blessed for the action, or there is simply no more mention of it. My thanks in advanced for your biblically based, Spirit filled explination. In Christ George |

95 | ...liars, shall have their part in.... | 1 Sam 21:1 | GeorJoy | 102315 | ||
Acts 5:4 is totally out of context with what my question. Key words in your note; "when left to themselves" So says scripture, but yours is more a statement than an answer. To lie, when good or a lack of evil will result, or not to lie? What of what "might" have happened to the infant Moses were it not for the lies of the midwives? And they were thereafter blessed! There is a biblical answer "which the Spirit will have provided." Geo |
||||||
96 | ...liars, shall have their part in.... | 1 Sam 21:1 | GeorJoy | 102332 | ||
You are playing with words my friend. Scripture teaches the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If they had not done their office, then they would be out of the will of God. I am sure that some of them did birth without the midwives, but not all. George |
||||||
97 | ...liars, shall have their part in.... | 1 Sam 21:1 | GeorJoy | 102370 | ||
Unknowingly, we all "play with words" when we do not understand the question or have not fully formulated the answer in our mind. This comment was not intended to be personal. You misunderstand the whole thought of my post. I am not referencing "any" one specific incident. No, "it is not out of the will of God to defy a king that wants them to commit murder." Lying is... Perhaps my question needs clarifying. It is not the defiance of which I speak. It is the "method." Though the purpose was for good, the "lie" is still a sin; or, in the mind of the reader, does the reasoning justify the lie? So, what do you think concerning for instance, what the midwives should have done in the case of Moses? How "could" David have avoided his lies in 1 Sam 21, and come away with his life? Surely these lies could have been avoided without what appeared to be the inevitable consequence. I would sincerely like to hear the thoughts of many as to this original post. George |

98 | Pt.2 A Female Oversee | 1 Sam 25:10 | GeorJoy | 86365 | ||
It is odd that I in such discussions I have yet to hear anyone quote 1 Timothy 2:14. I like the way the NIV puts it. I think it says it all. "And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. " I suppose people will listen to whom they will listen. I have heard some very gifted women preaching the word of God. There is a little voice I personally have inside. It's more a feeling, or an inner knowledge than a voice. Every time I have ever gone against that inner "whatever it is," I have regretted it. That voice along with a non-biased study of the word, tells me that The Lord intended for MAN to be the head of the family, the teacher and instructor. And likewise the leader of His Church. There are many fools out there that call themselves men, but just because they are fools don’t mean that woman was ever meant to fulfill their responsibilities. In1 Sam 25:20-39, I recall an occurrence where the King David was going to kill a certain fella who was, what some this day aould call a regular blankety blank... This fellas wife begged the King not to kill him and in not so many words said "he may be a fool, but he is my fool." For her sake the King didn’t kill him. Well, as it ended up, the Lord killed that fella. The King wound marrying the fools wife. From a fools wife to a Kings wife! I wonder if the King would have married her if she had been aspiring to the Priesthood? Women have their responsibilities in in spreading Gods word... If they would only follow their exzmples in Gods word. GeorJoy My screen name represents my name and my wifes name. Not the other way around. She bears my family name. Not the other way around. Adam was created, then Eve. Not the other way around. Eve was the first to be deceived. Not the other way around. Like it or not. These are the facts. And the latter can not be changed. |

99 | Commentary on Psalm 19 | Ps 19:1 | GeorJoy | 89310 | ||
From Matthew Henrys Concise Version Psalms - David was the penman of most of the psalms, but some evidently were composed by other writers, and the writers of some are doubtful. But all were written by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost; and no part of the Old Testament is more frequently quoted or referred to in the New. Every psalm either points directly to Christ, in his person, his character, and offices; or may lead the believer's thoughts to Him. And the psalms are the language of the believer's heart, whether mourning for sin, thirsting after God, or rejoicing in Him. Whether burdened with affliction, struggling with temptation, or triumphing in the hope or enjoyment of deliverance; whether admiring the Divine perfections, thanking God for his mercies, mediating on his truths, or delighting in his service; they form a Divinely appointed standard of experience, by which we may judge ourselves. Their value, in this view, is very great, and the use of them will increase with the growth of the power of true religion in the heart. By the psalmist's expressions, the Spirit helps us to pray. If we make the psalms familiar to us, whatever we have to ask at the throne of grace, by way of confession, petition, or thanksgiving, we may be assisted from thence. Whatever devout affection is working in us, holy desire or hope, sorrow or joy, we may here find words to clothe it; sound speech which cannot be condemned. In the language of this Divine book, the prayers and praises of the church have been offered up to the throne of grace from age to age. ************************************** George |

100 | Commentary on Psalm 19 | Ps 19:1 | GeorJoy | 89311 | ||
Now the wordy version from Mathew Henry 1 of 3 or 4 Psalms - Psalms - An Exposition, with Practical Observations, of The Book of Psalms We have now before us one of the choicest and most excellent parts of all the Old Testament; nay, so much is there in it of Christ and his gospel, as well as of God and his law, that it had been called the abstract, or summary, of both Testaments. The History of Israel, which we were long upon, let us to camps and council-boards, and there entertained and instructed us in the knowledge of God. The book of Job brought us into the schools, and treated us with profitable disputations concerning God and his providence. But this book brings us into the sanctuary, draws us off from converse with men, with the politicians, philosophers, or disputers of this world, and directs us into communion with God, by solacing and reposing our souls in him, lifting up and letting out our hearts towards him. Thus may we be in the mount with God; and we understand not our interests if we say not, It is good to be here. Let us consider, I. The title of this book. It is called, 1. The Psalms; under that title it is referred to, Luk_24:44. The Hebrew calls it Tehillim, which properly signifies Psalms of praise, because many of them are such; but Psalms is a more general word, meaning all metrical compositions fitted to be sung, which may as well be historical, doctrinal, or supplicatory, as laudatory. Though singing be properly the voice of joy, yet the intention of songs is of a much greater latitude, to assist the memory, and both to express and to excite all the other affections as well as this of joy. The priests had a mournful muse as well as joyful ones; and the divine institution of singing psalms is thus largely intended; for we are directed not only to praise God, but to teach and admonish ourselves and one another in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, Col_3:16. 2. It is called the Book of Psalms; so it is quoted by St. Peter, Act_1:20. It is a collection of psalms, of all the psalms that were divinely inspired, which, though composed at several times and upon several occasions, are here put together without any reference to or dependence upon one another; thus they were preserved from being scattered and lost, and were in so much greater readiness for the service of the church. See what a good master we serve, and what pleasantness there is in wisdom's ways, when we are not only commanded to sing at our work, and have cause enough given us to do so, but have words also put in our mouths and songs prepared to our hands. II. The author of this book. It is, no doubt, derived originally from the blessed Spirit. They are spiritual songs, words which the Holy Ghost taught. The penman of most of them was David the son of Jesse, who is therefore called the sweet psalmist of Israel, 2Sa_23:1. Some that have not his name in their titles yet are expressly ascribed to him elsewhere, as Psa_2:1-12 (Act_4:25) and Psa_96:1-13 and 105 (1 Chr. 16). One psalm is expressly said to be the prayer of Moses (Ps. 90); and that some of the psalms were penned by Asaph is intimated, 2Ch_29:30, where they are said to praise the Lord in the words of David and Asaph, who is there called a seer or prophet. Some of the psalms seem to have been penned long after, as Psa_137:1-9, at the time of the captivity in Babylon; but the far greater part of them were certainly penned by David himself, whose genius lay towards poetry and music, and who was raised up, qualified, and animated, for the establishing of the ordinance of singing psalms in the church of God, as Moses and Aaron were, in their day, for the settling of the ordinances of sacrifice; theirs is superseded, but his remains, and will to the end of time, when it shall be swallowed up in the songs of eternity. Herein David was a type of Christ, who descended from him, not from Moses, because he came to take away sacrifice (the family of Moses was soon lost and extinct), but to establish and perpetuate joy and praise; for of the family of David in Christ there shall be no end. |
