    My decision on the Sabbath

    (Brett;13327) Am I happy with my decision? Yes, why whats the problem if I worship on Sunday? Am I not to be judged on that matter as the Bible says? Yeah, Im happy and have no problems with it. I asked if you were happy with it because, to me, it does seem hard to tell from the bible if...

    Pre Marital Sex ?

    (Ricky W;13231) In Deuteronomy 22:23, does a man who lain with the virgin was betrothed each other ?In Exodus 22:23, does a man who lain with the virgin was betrothed each other too ? I see, the answer is no to both questions. Yes, I realize this. The situations are similar in that way. Well...

    Pre Marital Sex ?

    (Ricky W;13172) In that verse neither the man and the girl was hasn't engagement yet.And what you has said with this statement she is sleeping with someone who is not the man to whom she is engaged, actually was fit. I'm not sure if I understand your discussion of the two cases. In one case...

    Freedom from the Law?

    I think Gen 8:20-21 indicates that only some and not all of the clean animals were sacrificed, at least that's my guess. I think he’d have to leave some of them alive, or they could not repopulate. But it might mean that he took from each kind of clean animal or bird category that existed, like...

    Help--False Prophets!

    (jodycour;13208) there is no italized any thing in the KJV bible when it come to the word un-known tongues. I think she had in mind places like:1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.1 Corinthians 14:19 Yet in the church I...

    Freedom from the Law?

    (RND;13176) Are there some verses that speak of Noah's offerings and what type of offerings those may have been? I see your chain of reasoning now about the 7 birds.I was thinking of Gen 8:20-21. That is right after he comes out of the ark and it says he did burnt offerings or whole burnt...

    Freedom from the Law?

    (RND;13163) If some of the animals were for sacrifices I imagine they would have been consumed as many such sacrifices were....Well, I can only surmize in roughtly the same manner as I do with the 7 clean animals. Gen 6:20 tells us that Noah was to take 2 of the fowl, cattle, and creeping thing...

    Freedom from the Law?

    (RND;13129) During this entire time there would have absolutely nothing to eat. No vegetables, herbs or animals. Those on the Ark could have only eaten what they brought. And would mean that the food they brought would have been the 'clean' animals, brought into the Ark by sevens. The 'unclean'...

    Biblical Place & Name Chain

    Yiron, a city in the territory of Naphtali. (Joshua 19:38) I cheated, though, and got this from a word list. It is spelled Iron in the KJV, but if you check the Hebrew, there is definitely a "yod" on the front. Modern versions spell it as Yiron.

    Freedom from the Law?

    (RND;13125) Um, I don't think anything with respect to the eating of clean or unclean animals has changed. Besides, that isn't a Mosaic law. That commandment regarding clean/unclean animals was given to Noah, and I wasn't aware Noah was a Jew. Can you give the verse where the commandment not to...

    Christian Joy

    I can think of several moments of joy. When the Lord disciplines us, at first we think it hurts, but he disciplines his sons, so this is a good thing, and we reap the fruit of righteousness. Also, when we encounter trials, this is also a joy, because trials eventually lead to endurance, and...

    Pre Marital Sex ?

    (Ricky W;13111) This verse, it seems like contra with the verse that I ask you before. There is a difference between the two situations. In the one you gave originally, the woman is not engaged or betrothed to a different man besides the one she is sleeping with. In the passage I just gave...

    Gifts and being a true Christian

    (Tama;13103) Read them, and then decide if our churches and we personally need it. I would say we DO. If God gives us someone who can heal, for example, it is for a reason. The person ought to use the gift. Just personally, I think faith seems hard in this day and age. So the gift of faith...

    Help--False Prophets!

    (RND;13093) If the language is understood by no one, not even the person saying it, then it is 'vain babbling' just as the books of Timothy point out. Could you explain a bit more why you apply 1 Tim 6:20 and 2 Tim 2:16 to the issue of speaking in tongues? I am more accustomed to see these...

    Pre Marital Sex ?

    If a man was caught lying with a married woman, then both of them should die, according to the Torah. Stoning is not specifically mentioned (for adultery), as far as I recall, except if the woman is betrothed. Jesus did not require the woman caught in adultery to be stoned when she was brought...

    Should We Argue With Satan?

    Perhaps the worst thing to do is engage him in seemingly harmless discussion. Say you are in a store and some item looks nice, but you are short on funds. If you proceed from there to consider that the items are overpriced, the store owner has been rude to you in the past, you really deserve a...

    Gifts and being a true Christian

    I've encountered people who think I can't be saved because I don't speak in an unknown tongue. Usually, however, they do not make this claim. More often, it is just seen as a sign of being more mature as a Christian.Perhaps some people take the speaking in tongues as proof of the presence of...

    My decision on the Sabbath

    If I may ask, how do you feel about this decision? If I were you, I think I'd feel it was a temporary decision because I have to make one, so I made one, kind of thing.I mean, I guess, do you know you are right?

    Biblical Place & Name Chain

    Numbers 21:14 Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the LORD, "Waheb in Suphah, And the wadis of the Arnon, So, my word is Waheb. But I'm not going to define it. It happens only in this verse. It sort of sounds like the name of a wadi, or river.

    Does any one Believe in the 5 fold Ministry Gifts?

    (jodycour;12907) Think about it, why do most people leave churches?Mainly because the Pastor lacks the ministry gifts that the other 4 ministry gifts provide. This seems like a good question to ask. In Australia they did some type of study, but I don't know the specifics, just the results...
