  • Richard H Priday on Genesis 22 - 3 years ago
    This chapter gives the infamous command for Abraham to sacrifice his only son; the son which encompassed so many promises of God already related to future descendants and seemingly end it through this action. If anything else; Abraham's maturity of faith was great enough to accept this without any attempt to change things or resist God. His commentary at least seemed to suggest with his son and the two young men assisting that he would return afterwards with Isaac. Whether this was for their benefit not to panic or his own assurance God would be faithful or both we are not told. To have enough faith to expect and trust the Lord to provide some last minute reprieve held out until the end. The gig was up once Isaac was bound; and it is noteworthy that he didn't protest either. Only a supernatural Resurrection is what some suggest they believed would save the day; as it turned out as the knife and physically initiated the killing he was stopped before it reached him; and the ram in the thickets was used instead. God's swearing to him reiterated blessings; and also multiplying his seed as the stars of heaven (v. 17) along with military victories promised. There was further provision already in the works when he learned of his brother Nahor's offspring through an unknown source.

  • Richard H Priday on Genesis 20 - 3 years ago
    This chapter repeats the error that Abraham consented to with his wife in his earlier travels "down south". Apparently, after all of God's promises of granting him an heir through His wife he still wasn't convinced that he didn't have to make up some narrative going into foreign lands so that he wasn't killed for his wife's sake. Sarah must have been a very beautiful woman of 90 something at that time. The custom at that time was to have more than one wife; and apparently there was little formality other than taking someone in who a king would desire to complete that process. The plagues that are threatened included closing up the wombs of the King of Abimalech's wife and maidservants; so this was a rather lengthy stay until this dream and realization occurred. The "agreement" which Abraham made likely had many similar scenarios to the two chapters covering it in Genesis as apparently WHEREVER he went she was expected to consent to this spineless request; essentially putting her in a compromised position to being violated to save his skin. In any event; because it was God's prophet he ended up being better off materially after this event than before. Sarah herself was reproved by the PAGAN king and he was prayed for to restore the childbearing afterwards. After this Isaac was finally born; and her status as a mother could no longer be hidden. In any event; this shows God's patience with our obstinate tendencies to rely on the flesh to accomplish His purposes. Her act of complicity was finally exposed as well.
  • Richard - In Reply on 1 Chronicles 15 - 3 years ago
    Here we go again. LOL. In the garden, God allowed us to have dominion over all of creation. Thus in today's world, we don't think about that. We set out traps for mice because of several reasons. Fear, afraid of disease, destructions of these little fellows, so forth and so on. They are a creation from God also and God viewed all of his creation "good." Now we are on top of the totem pole and if we don't like something, we get rid of it. How many ants do you step on each time you go out into the yard and never give it any thought whatsoever. Oh, they are just ants. Oh, they are just pesty little mice. Why this decision? If we are so proud that we have control over everything, what make anyone think that God as creator does have any decision as to what he wishes to happen. Also remember that this body is just a tabenacle for a short time. Our life is temporary in a journey. We must look at the future rather than the here and now. However, while we are here, we must do the work of the Father. I don't think anyone should worry about their opinion of how God works in our lives. To us this mortal being is to precious in the here and now rather that in the presense of God. Another thing to remember is that while they were moving the ark it was not being moved as directed by God. It was to be carried with poles and not transport by the means of a cart.

    Hi Ben,

    Regarding 1 Chronicles 13:9-12, the question of why seems fair, but your second sentence sounds like you already drew a conclusion about God. That part seems unfair and assuming and I noticed you wrote God's name in lower case.

    So, by the limited information you read, maybe you perceived a certain character about God, but what if your assumptions are wrong? God knew Uzza's heart and knew if he was intentionally disobeying or not, whether he was disrespecting God's rules, or whether he was distrusting God. This reminds me of when Moses disobeyed and struck the rock with his staff- doing things his own way, rather than God's way, whether through lack of faith, stubbornness, a rebelious nature, or other motive. So, while this passage didn't go into detail about his heart and motives, I think it's logical that the man intentionally disobeyed and disrespected God.

    Have you ever been wronged and someone falsely accused you and drew the wrong conclusion, because they didn't have the full story? Maybe you didn't like being accused or wrongly judged? What if your assumption about God in this context is the same thing? This event is only mentioned in 2 sentences (v8 and v9) and there was likely more to it, such as Uzza's motives.

    So the question is how does that make God the 'bad guy' when someone violates God's rules? Why would your compassion fall upon the lawbreaker instead of the lawgiver? Also, we don't have any other information about Uzza's afterlife. I believe God is a fair judge and knows our heart. And I think verses that say to fear God is real and just as stated in this story I think its risky to disrespect and assume false motives upon anyone, especially about God.
  • Chris - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Charrisse. You may care to look at those two Scriptures particularly in the Greek ( Ephesians 2:15 & Colossians 2:14). I believe that you're focussing of the words, "the law of commandments contained in ordinances" and "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances".

    The same Greek word is used in both instances for 'ordinances', viz. "dogmasin", from which we get, 'dogma'. And in these Scriptures, it is translated as 'decrees or edicts'. So when we read these Scriptures by the apostle, the 'law of commandments & handwriting of ordinances' did not apply solely to the ceremonial laws & of the sacrifices which indeed Christ fulfilled at the Cross, but also to the whole Law that was "blotted out" completely. It had to be so, or else the old Law would still stand, the Jew would have to be bound to it & hence judged by it. But Jesus came to rid the Law that only showed one's sin & brought certain death. By His Sacrifice, the old had gone & the new had come, that from henceforth, "we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter." ( Romans 7:6). Yet, most Jews are still bound to the old Law & by it they will be judged.

    Yes, there is a distinction in the moral, civil & ceremonial laws, as seen in the OT. But when the New Covenant was brought in by Christ's Blood, the old Law in totality was annulled - it had to be as both the old & new opposed each other by their: giving, obedience, acceptance & judgement (i.e. received by faith, given power to obey, our acceptance through Christ, & now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus). Under the old Law that could never be achieved & that's why it took the death of the Son of God.

    I did that ones grafting process, It was very successful. The tree did not grow more than it should. So the root actually agreed with the branches. So with them we have become a new branch, is not? But as in New Testament times, we have the same level now. The Jews are a group in their own right, but will harvest from the same tree.

    Because we have the same Holy Spirit. Our dear Paul was given the task of going to the "Gentiles", therefore the Gentiles are no longer called Gentiles. Because we grow on the same tree. Can we really imagine what Grace God has really given us?

    My heart overflows with gratitude, and brethren rejoice. For the whole male race is hard as horn and strong as oxen. So remember the weaker guys where you are. They are so valuable because their hearts are humble and natural, full of care and love. That is why He created us as man and woman.

    God bless us all 1 John chapter 3.

    Hello Charrisse. If I may add for those here who might be unaware of this author whom you promote: A. Jan Marcussen is a Seventh Day Adventist Minister who is best known for his 1983 book "National Sunday Law". This book has been described as a "condensed version" of Ellen G. White's view in "The Great Controversy". And most of us should have heard of of E.G. White.

  • Sexual Impurity - In Reply on 1 Corinthians 6 - 3 years ago
    Genesis 38

    6. And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.

    7. And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.

    8. And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

    9. And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he SPILLED IT on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.

    10. And the thing which he did displeased the Lord.

    There was a custom that if a brother die, his widow could conceive a child through his brother. The line of seed would continue. But this remaining brother refused to participate. He went in unto her, but he did not complete the act of impregnating her. He spilled it on the ground. He died, because it displeased God.

    This shows us, that in sexual matters, God sees our intentions. The "marriage bed" is undefiled.

    Titus 1:15

    Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

    Bottom line: it's better to be married; than self-gratifying. These days media demands that we satisfy ourselves, with beauty and power. May we always ask God for a suitable mate.

  • Chris - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Diana. Just adding to GiGi's & Connie's good comments & to respond to your question, "Why do some people first instinct is to lie", I feel is based on the foundation of protection or self-preservation.

    Most people resort to lying to some degree, greater or lesser. And most wouldn't say to themselves, 'Hey, I haven't told a lie for some time, I'll give out one now'. Lying is resorted to when someone or something is at stake & the first response is to attempt to lie so as to remove the problem. If lying doesn't work, then other devious or evil methods have to be employed. Children will often lie when the parent has to decide on which child is to blame for the problem - and some are particularly good at it, even turning around events so as to place the fault with the other. And so when they become adults, the 'art of lying' becomes well mastered, even to the point where guilt or shame is no longer felt when sin is being committed. And it becomes particularly sad when Christians ought to know the difference, as I have personally seen in a well-seasoned 'lier', who unashamedly dishes out lies, in spite of knowing that those who hear them know perfectly well that they are lies. It doesn't matter to this person - lying is just another way of changing the story to suit the need - after all, telling a lie is no great sin, as this person believes. And there are other dimensions to lying: to create problems, to lead astray, to fulfill a fantasy, etc., etc.

    Even for a Christian walking in love & in the Spirit, often the option to lie so as to avoid a difficulty comes up. But he/she knows that every sin, however significant or not, stands before God through His Spirit in us, & we must immediately deal with it & fess up to our faults. We know we can't fool God, then why should we sin so easily before men, when answering to God for our behaviour is of greater importance than how we appear to others?

    For GiGi. Is it Romans 1:30 you're thinking of: "inventors of evil things"?

  • Chris - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Thank you Cecil. I'm sure your studies in the prophecies have been increasingly fruitful as it has progressed over time. And as I stated earlier, my knowledge of the prophecies is simply based on what is given in the Word & whether their fulfilment is imminent, still in the future, or even have a dual occurrence. Any more than that I find gets me into areas of increasing uncertainty leading into error. If you are clear in your understanding & interpretation, that is to your benefit & to those who can join you in it. I cannot be swerved, not because of your interpretation, but because this part of the prophecy is still future & nothing is so clear within them to give me certainties (i.e. which countries involved, order of falling out of events, even the correct division of the Revelation). Maybe, I just haven't given more time to it, due to the lack of specifics.

    So, I really can't respond to your questions, except to say, that "my strong opinion" is based on the Scriptures as given (no interpretation from me) - if there is another meaning or application to them, then that will have to be spiritually discerned. But you mentioned that "God re-establishes Israel with the saints". To this I agree that together we will one day all be one, under one God & one Saviour, & I see nothing in the Trumpet Judgements to correlate with this coming together.

    Thank you for your time & input Cecil - maybe your comments will engender other more profitable responses than mine. Blessings.

    I also observe Sabbath on Saturdays. Luke 4:16 as provided in one of your replies is also advising when the Lord's Day is. As for those who worship on Sundays, I feel they had been lead to believe a false belief that Sunday is the Lords Day. I have come by this false belief through bible study and reading the Lords Word KJV as well as other material. National Sunday Law by A Jan Marcussen is a read many people of FAITH should take the time to read. It will explain "Who, How and When" the Sabbath was changed to a Sunday. It is not a secret and you are able to refer to what is written to the Lords Word and writings/ Bibliography. it is a constitution from Emperor Constantine who introduced Sunday Worship as Law in 321 A.D, is the earliest recognition of Sunday as a legal duty. Here are a couple of the references you can go to. The Latin original is in the Codes Justinian (Codes of Justinian), lib 3, title 12, lex. 3, Philip Schaff's, History of the Christian Church, Vol 3 3d period, chapter 7, sec 75 pg 380, footnote 1. The last days is near and there are so many Christians who have been mislead and given false scriptures and teachings that it breaks my heart and also our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Daniel 7:25

    And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

    Ezekiel 20:12,

    Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.

    Ezekiel 20:16

    Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.

    Happy Sabbath
  • Ron - In Reply on Galatians 2 - 3 years ago
    A little off topic, but I wonder if Paul knew that Moses was a murderer? Exodus 2:11-15

    In his retelling of Moses's killing of the Egyptian in Acts 7:23-29, Luke casts Moses in the image of Jesus, as a rejected deliverer. What's that called when govt does that same thing with their fallen heroes?

    The Israelites' rejection of Moses, which Luke reads into Exodus 2:11-15, is placed in parallel to the Jews' rejection of Jesus, which is understood as the crux of Christianity's break from Judaism.

    Hello, again Roy

    the curse of the law is that whoever does not keep ALL of the law perfectly will die. You can read more about this curse in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. You can search "blessings and curses of the Law of Moses" to find Scripture references.
  • GiGi - In Reply on Galatians 2 - 3 years ago
    Hello Roy,

    There was a long thread in the last week concerning this. You may search back a few pages and find the thread.

    Also, I suggest reading all of Galatians and all of Romans in order to understand Paul's teaching fully. To take just one portion or verse as a proof text does not serve this topic well.
