81 | What is Mark of Cain? Where in the Bilbe | Gen 4:15 | TheCurtMan | 91052 | ||
From the perspective of a Christian, how can a church relate prejudice to the principles governing Col. 3:12-13?? With our mouths we profess one thing, but with our actions we profess the complete opposite. | ||||||
82 | Is piercing and tatooing the body wrong. | Lev 19:28 | TheCurtMan | 97964 | ||
Actually, I’m thinking of two verses. One: Leviticus 19:28 (KJV) Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord Two: I Corinthians 6:18 (KJV) What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? Now why would anyone want to mark up the Temple of the Holy Ghost unless they were unbelievers?? The CurtMan |

83 | Did Uzzah has given chance to repent | Num 4:15 | TheCurtMan | 93427 | ||
According to verse 8 of II Sam. 6, David felt the same way you did. Uzzah’s intentions may have been good, but his actions were bad. Actually it was a sin, an ungodly action. According Numbers 4:5-15, God had specific instruction about the moving of the Ark. It was suppose to have been done by the Levites, who were to carry it using the carrying poles. They were NEVER to touch the ark itself. To touch it was a capital offense under the Hebrew law, punishable by death. “When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy objects and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set out, after that the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them, so that they will not TOUCH THE HOLY OBJECTS AND DIE…” Numbers 4:15 NASB. Now rather Uzzah was a Levite or not I’m not 100 percent sure, but personally I doubt it. According to verses 9-11 in II Sam. 6, Divid left the ark at the house of Obed-edom. But look at what David said when he went back to get the ark in II Chronicles 15:2, “No one is to carry the ark of God but the Levites…” Uzzah’s intentions may have been good, but the law was already in place before his mistake, and a costly mistake it was, but David learned a very valuable lesson from it; Do it God’s way or suffer the consequences. Hope this answer your question. Any others?? The CurtMan |

84 | Given the chance to repent | Num 4:15 | TheCurtMan | 93593 | ||
You're right, I did miss the question. Sorry. Was Uzzah given the chance to repent? No. It is obvious from the text that after his mistake, and before his death, there was no time for repentance. And like Aixen7z4, I also believe that there is no repentance after death. As far as your question regarding 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness", not all sins bring forth immediate consequences-Jonah chp. 3 for example. |

85 | Given the chance to repent | Num 4:15 | TheCurtMan | 93719 | ||
Your question to me is, where was justice. I can not answer that question any better than Gracefull did in her post. My question to you is that do you think that good intentions should superceed the laws of God? | ||||||
86 | Given the chance to repent | Num 4:15 | TheCurtMan | 94278 | ||
I did not say that good intension will superceed the laws of God but the chances that given to person to repent I did not make a statement or an accusation, I simply asked a question, which was, “My question to you is that do you think that good intentions should supercede the laws of God?” My second question to you is, “Can I get an answer to my previous question?” Fact of the matter is that God’s word was in place well before Uzzah touched the Ark. When Uzzah did touch the Ark, that brings me back to my original question. Unfortunately he did not have a chance to repent, I John 1:9. Some consequences to actions are immediate. This is one of those examples. And as far as Adam and Eve is concerned, THEY DID DIE IMMEDIATELY. Not physically, but spiritually. Look at Gen. 3:8. They were spiritually separated from God. That perfect relationship they had with God was broken. According to what God said in 2:8, “…for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Death did take place in that day. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, if you have a relationship with the Him. I personally would rather be physically dead and rejoicing than spiritually dead and miserable.

87 | Given the chance to repent | Num 4:15 | TheCurtMan | 94474 | ||
You don’t think that we’re slightly off track with the original topic? Fact 1. Adam and Eve hid from God because of their broken relationship with God. Gen. 3:8 Fact 2. Uzzah was killed immediately before he had the chance to repent due to a law of God that was in place well before he touched the Ark. II Sam. 6:7 and Num. 4:15. Fact 3. You still have not answered my original question. Do you think that good intentions should supercede the laws of God?? II Sam. 6:6 I happen to believe that just because the law wasn’t given until later, that there are a number of things about the law that the Israelites understood before hand. For example: Where was the law indicating Forgiveness when Joseph forgave his brothers? Gen. 50:19-21 Where was the law indicating Firstfruits, and or giving your best unto God when Able gave his gift to God? Gen. 4:4. Where was the law concerning Murder when Cain killed his brother? Gen. 4:8 And if Cain didn’t do anything wrong by killing his brother because there was no law, then why try and deceive God about it? Gen. 4:9 The Tree of Knowledge of good and evil that Adam and Eve ate from gave them the knowledge of good and evil. Can you honestly tell me to what degree did their knowledge extended to?? And Yes I will tell you that there is spiritual teaching in Gen. 3. You quoted verses 16-19, but you over looked 15. What are the indications of that verse?? What did God mean when He indicated that the woman’s seed would bruise the serpent’s head?? Better still, what are the implications of II Tim. 3:16?? Maybe you didn’t mean what you said about no spiritual teaching there, but if you did, there IS spiritual teaching there if you were to combine it with other parts of scripture The CurtMan |

88 | Comfort Zone? | Num 28:11 | TheCurtMan | 98839 | ||
What is a Comfort Zone?? In my book a Comfort Zone is a place where Christians get where they are comfortable with the way that things are. Where they worship; How they worship; Who they associate with. Getting them away from this can be difficult at best.. They are just use to the way that things are. For example: A church sister of mine has a fifteen year old son. They were going to be evicted. They were making plans of going into a shelter. There are many Brothers and Sisters in our congregation with big house and large basements. Those who had the room to spare didn’t offer to put the Sister up because it was too much of an inconvience to them. They like living by themselves, and didn’t want to deal with the inconvience of having someone else living there with them, and with a teenager too? Funny thing is; it was the people who really didn’t have the room to spare who offered shelter. So for them it was REALLY an inconvience. And by the way, if you’re being ridiculed, belittled, battered and raped because of your convictions, be thankful, maybe you are flexing your spiritual muscles, and exercising. Some Christians have gotten to the point where it is too much of a effort to be ridiculed, belittled, battered and raped for their convictions. They are nolonger fighting the good fight with all their might. The CurtMan |

89 | Comfort Zone? | Num 28:11 | TheCurtMan | 98938 | ||
The fight is not easy, and it lasts a lifetime. If you don’t mind me asking, how long have you been running this race?? What I’ve notice about this Comfort Zone is that it is not a place for New Christians. My personal experience has shown me that if evangelizing the entire world were possible within a few hours, then it would probably be a New Christian that would get the job done. Upon conversion, New Christians are Gong Ho for the Lord. They have a fire within them for the things of the Lord that I find amazing. It is after being in this fight for awhile, after running this race for awhile that I notice that a Comfort Zone become more of a possibility then at the forefront. I’m not saying that all Older Christians fall into this trap, but it is something that I believe that all Older Christians have to contend with, like any other sin. In Eph. 6, I’m under the impression that when Paul was talking about the Armor of God, he was speaking in military terms that gave the impression that as solders, we are suppose to dig a trench, get in it, and fight to keep the ground that we have gained. Never giving up; Never loosing the ground; and NEVER turning our back on our enemy. In this type of fight, there is absolutely no room for a Comfort Zone. It takes strength from God, courage from God, and complete dependence on God. If you’re fighting this kind of fight, then keep it up. You’re not alone. You have many other soldiers fighting with you. I have a T-shirt that says, “Keep working for the Lord. The pay may be lousy, but the Retirement Benefits are out of this world.” The CurtMan |

90 | Comfort Zone? | Num 28:11 | TheCurtMan | 98942 | ||
VerticalRelationship, I totally agree with much of what you have said. We Christians are so bombarded with sin on a daily basis, that a lot of times it nolonger have the effect on us that it should. I believe this is wrong. I live in a real bad section of town. About a couple of months ago, I was coming home from work. I commute on public transportation. I got off the bus and one of the first things I noticed was a dead body lying in the street. He had just been shot in the face. The authorities were just arriving, so I walked around the body and went home. I gave no thought of the individual. No thought of his family, and absolutely no thought of his spiritual relationship with God, if it was any. Later the Holy Spirit convicted me of all this. My excuse, as lame as it was, I’m surrounded by death. I turn on the News to find that someone died. I come home to find that someone has died. The same is true in the Newspaper. My conscience has become deaden to something that I should have concern over. If we’re not consciously concern about the plight of others, how are we supposed to act accordingly?? DO NOT BECOME INSENSITIVE TO ERROR!! That can and will evoke a Spiritual Lesson from your Spiritual Teacher, and I can testify to that one. The CurtMan |

91 | Can this be applied to todays war? | Deut 20:1 | TheCurtMan | 99682 | ||
Yeah, I believe it could be. Granted that this verse was for the Israelites, and they had certain rules of engagement that they were expected to follow when going to war. However, I believe that the concept of this is that we should always keep our focus on God no matter what the circumstances. Hebrews 13:5-6 (NKJV) ".....I will never leave you nor forsake you. 6. So we may boldly say: The Lord is my Helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" Because of this promise, Christians can be content in EVERY situation. Even if we are severely out numbered by our enemies. As a street brawler, my enemies' number was of great concern; But as a Christian, I no longer have that concern. Everyday I'm surrounded by non-believers who want to make an example out of me because of my position in Christ, this is my war and I no longer worry about it. Because of this promise I know that God is with the individual, and they have nothing to fear. However; rather God is with the entire army depends on where that entire army is with God. So can Deuteronomy 20:1 be applied to todays war?? In my opinion, ABSOLUTELY! The CurtMan |

92 | Can this be applied to todays war? | Deut 20:1 | TheCurtMan | 99696 | ||
Sorry Sis, I'm not seeing it that way. I'm not denying that this was for the Israelites. The question is, as I understand it to be, can the principles governing this verse be applied today. I believe they can. What? God never bought you up from Egypt? From the bondage of sin? From your old hard taskmaster before Christ? I believe the principles governing this verse can be applied today.

93 | Can this be applied to todays war? | Deut 20:1 | TheCurtMan | 100169 | ||
Ras, It appears that I need to ask your forgiveness on a matter in reference to a question you posted on Deuteronomy 20:1. I still hold my viewpoint on the matter. My argument was never that the promise was not for the Israelites, my focus was more on what I believed was the reasoning of the promise; NEVER TAKE OUR FOCUS OFF OF GOD NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES, for He is ALWAYS with us. However; it appears that many disagree with me. The possibility exists that I could be wrong and might have misled you. For this, I ask your forgiveness. Misleading someone intentually or unintentually is nerver a good thing. It is better to resolve this with you now, than with God later. Just for the record, the overall viewpoint on the matter is as Seacher56 said. The CurtMan |

94 | Pt.2 A Female Oversee | 1 Sam 25:10 | TheCurtMan | 86364 | ||
Part 2 Is Jesus not the example we are suppose to follow?? Was He the type of man that went with the flow of things, the type of Guy that followed tradition?? The day before he picked his disciples, Jesus stayed up all night in prayer with the Father, the next day He went out nd picked twelve men. If there was ever a time for God to say it was OK to have a Female Overseer for His children, a female disciple would have gotten that point across. "Why do you think that out of twelve individuals, there wasn't one woman on that board??" Lets go back to I Tim. 2:12. "Why do you think that Paul said what he said in this verse??" For two reasons actually, 1. God told him to. Take a good look at II Peter chp.1 verses 19-21, and note that these verses isn't so much referring to the Interpretation-of-Scripture, as it is the Origin-of-Scripture. The other reason can be found in v.13-14. A careful look at Genesis would reveal a number of facts on this issue as well, like; A. When God gave the law, He gave it to Man, not woman. B. When God did give the law to Adam, Eve wasn't even on the set yet, it was before her time. C. When Eve DID show up, woman was presented as a Helper-of-Man, not a Leader-of-Man. There is a difference. Now here's the kicker. When man DID follow a woman's leading, Adam not only got himself into trouble, but he plunged the entire world into chaos. Society as we know it is a mad house. We have superseded morality with immorality. I believe Paul said it best when he said, "Because that, when they knew God they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darken. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools and changed the image of the Incorruptible God, into an image made like to corruptible man; and to birds; and four-footed beast; and creeping things..." It appears to me that we're following this example. God's creation has gotten to a point where we think we're smarter than the Creator. We can interpret His word better than He can. The bible is it's own best interpreter, not man. Last question of the day. "According to II Tim. 3:16-17, what is the purpose of ALL scripture??" Is it not for Doctrine; for Reproof; for CORRECTION; for Instruction in Righteousness, that the man of God-universal term meaning both men and women-may be complete and thoroughly equipped for every good work?? There are a number of biblical principles, as well as examples, indicating that a woman should not be an Overseer. Both Scripture and Tradition tends to point this out, so why isn't it being practiced today?? My prayers will be with you for Spiritual Wisdom in all areas, and I ask the same from you; and my apologies to you if I've offended you in the manner of which I've stressed a couple of points.

95 | To think clearly and Biblically | Ps 119:105 | TheCurtMan | 85816 | ||
Radioman, I've come to accept the fact that no one can really force anyone to think clearly nor biblically. All you can do is share the Biblical Truth in love and pray for the best. No one really wants to be told that their beliefs are incorrect, but if that's the message that the Father wants them receive, then it's our Christian Responcibility to enlighten them on sound doctrine. I've read a number of your replies to certian questions, and thus far they all seem to be Biblical Truths based on Biblical Principles. If what you are doing, you're doing out of Love and Obedience to the Father, then what's with the apology?? To my knowledge Paul did not apologize to the Jews for sharing the truth with them, nor Jesus to the Pharisees, and He knew what the price would be, but that did not prohibit Him, nor did He offer any apologies, why?? If it's remotely possible, I'm interested in a one on one with you in reference to spiritual matters. Your perspective on matters is one that I appreciate. The CurtMan |

96 | What family planning method is good? | Ps 127:3 | TheCurtMan | 97857 | ||
Greetings Mobisa, Actually, I would say that none of the options that you presented are good. Psalms 127:3-5 (KJV) Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is His reward. 4. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 5. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. Psalms 139:13-14 (KJV) For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. I'm under the impression that abortion is an antibiblical, selfish solution to a situation that mothers today do not want to be bothered with for whatever reason. The CurtMan |

Quiet Time!! You give of your financies, but do you give of your time?? Time to read the word; Time to study the word; Time to listen to the Word; and Time to meditate on the word.

Well golly gee, You ever consider that God might use man to give this person the answer that they might need. I mean isn't this the purpose of Pastors and Ministers, for the edification of the body, to help the children of God to know the things of God?? As a matter of fact, alot of my answers to prayers came through a PERSON that was open to the leading of the Lord. |

100 | What is the glory of God? | Is 42:8 | TheCurtMan | 87382 | ||
In plain and simple terminology, I'm under the impression that God's glory, is His reputation, it's what He is know for; praises and honor for the things He has done, and are known for doing. "No", I don't think men has the tendicy of sharing God's glory, I think men has the tendicy of CLAIMING God's glory for themselves. Men are selfish; why share that which you can claim for yourselves?? One of the ways we tend to claim God's glory is by crediting ourselves for the ability of getting up in the morning and being able to provide for our households; not realizing, and in some cases not caring that it is through the Goodness of God; it is through the Love of God; it is through the Mercy of God that we were able to do this. Hey, we credit diet; excercise, and human wisdom for these things. What's God has to do with me waking up in the morning?? |
