Could someone please discuss this chapter

There is a distinct difference between those that practice magic and those that treat people medically. Many cultures have both, even to this day.

If we are sick we go to a medical doctor of medicine. Not a witch doctor; not those who practice voodoo, etc. To do so, will invite demonic manifestation or death.

"The Jews seem early to have consulted the teraphim (q.v.) for "oracular answers ( Judg. 18:5, 6; Zech. 10:2). There is a" remarkable illustration of this divining by teraphim in Ezek. 21:19-22. We read also of the divining cup of Joseph ( Gen. 44:5). The magicians of Egypt are frequently referred to in the history of the Exodus. Magic was an inherent part of the ancient "Egyptian religion, and entered largely into their daily life." "All magical arts were distinctly prohibited under penalty of death in the Mosaic law. The Jews were commanded not to learn "the "abomination" of the people of the Promised Land (Lev." 19:31; Deut. 18:9-14). The history of Saul's consulting the witch of Endor ( 1 Sam. 28:3-20) gives no warrant for attributing supernatural power to magicians. From the first the witch is here only a bystander. The practice of magic lingered among the "people till after the Captivity, when they gradually abandoned" it. "It is not much referred to in the New Testament. The Magi mentioned in Matt. 2:1-12 were not magicians in the ordinary "sense of the word. They belonged to a religious caste, the" "followers of Zoroaster, the astrologers of the East. Simon, a" "magician, was found by Philip at Samaria ( Acts 8:9-24); and Paul" "and Barnabas encountered Elymas, a Jewish sorcerer, at Paphos" (13:6-12). At Ephesus there was a great destruction of magical "books ( Acts 19:18, 19)."

"Heb. hartumim, ( dan. 1:20) were sacred scribes who acted as" "interpreters of omens, or "revealers of secret things."

The Bible teaches Healing; not magic.

Commentary for: Read Genesis 44:1-17)

Joseph tried how his brethren felt towards Benjamin. Had they envied and hated the other son of Rachel as they had hated him, and if they had the same want of feeling towards their father Jacob as heretofore, they would now have shown it. When the cup was found upon Benjamin, they would have a pretext for leaving him to be a slave. But we cannot judge what men are now, by what they have been formerly; nor what they will do, by what they have done. The steward charged them with being ungrateful, rewarding evil for good; with folly, in taking away the cup of daily use, which would soon be missed, and diligent search made for it; for so it may be read, Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, as having a particular fondness for it, and for which he would search thoroughly? Or, By which, leaving it carelessly at your table, he would make trial whether you were honest men or not? They throw themselves upon Joseph's mercy, and acknowledge the righteousness of God, perhaps thinking of the injury they had formerly done to Joseph, for which they thought God was now reckoning with them. Even in afflictions wherein we believe ourselves wronged by men, we must own that God is righteous, and finds out our sin.

Generations, Tenth

Deuteronomy 23:3

An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their TENTH generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:

Deuteronomy 23:2

A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his TENTH generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

[a non-covenant believer]

Mark 8:12

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.

Malachi 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Isaiah 41:4

Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.

Isaiah 58:12

And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

Matthew 1:17

So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

In the "time of Abraham a generation was an hundred years, thus: Gen." "15:16, "In the fourth generation" = in four hundred years (comp." verse 13 and Ex. 12:40). In Deut. 1:35 and 2:14 a generation is a period of thirty-eight years.

I love the hymn based on Genesis 28:11

"Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,

Darkness be over me, my rest a stone.

Yet in my dreams I'd be nearer, my God to Thee."

Do you answer questions that we have about the scripture?

Is kissing a sin?

The Bible only speaks of resurrected bodies.

I've seen nothing about our will being changed.

The Christians born again free will should be...as Jesus said: to do the will of my Father.

All the temptations from Satan (whom I call the evil I Will). Observe how many times Lucifer aka Satan, says I WILL five times! He has a huge rebellion problem, desiring to be higher than God. Number 1, he is a created being. He creates havoc and destruction, but he cannot create man or anything else. Evil has damaged his brain.

He will be in hell, covered in worms; later to the Lake of Fire; never to get out again.

Isaiah 14

12

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13

For thou hast said in thine heart, I WILL ascend into heaven, I WILL exalt my throne above the stars of God: I WILL sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14

I WILL ascend above the heights of the clouds; I WILL be like the most High.

15

Yet thou (Satan) shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

16

They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man (Satan) that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms?

> How can we consider that Gods Will towards us will be anything less than what we ourselves would choose if we could? Endless joy and fellowship with God and Christ, in heaven, along with billions of other believers?

Our wills will be joined in happiness, purpose, and enjoyment, forever. Try to consider that.

This planet we are living on now is going to be renewed to its first Day of Creation. We will see it, be a part of it, with each other and God, forever. Lots to do, see, enjoy with all of the Christian saints that have gone before us! We'll never see a "for members only" sign. We are ALL members in Christ Jesus.

I look forward to seeing you there!

This chapter is talking about Christians (sons of God) as mentioned in verses 1-2 and it underscores how important it is to keep God's commandments and abide in Him. It's conditional, abiding is a verb, which is something we must do. Grace isn't a free pass to live in the world and enjoy unlimited sin and some twist it to mean that so they can feel better about sinning, but it doesn't say that. If we are obedient and keep God's commandments then we dwell in Him (verse 24). If our heart doesn't condemns us (v21) then we can have confidence of our standing with God, but verse 20 suggests if our hearts condemn us then we shouldn't have confidence in our standing with God. So, God knows our heart and knows if our hearts condemn us and this isn't God saying its totally fine to keep sinning. Not by any means. Satan is working overtime to get people to keep twisting this as long as the end result is you keep sinning and turning your back on God- that's satan's goal and unfortunately it works sometimes. verses 5-9 don't mean it's impossible for Christians to sin, because all sin and fall short, no one is perfect, only Jesus is, but it means God takes away our sin IF... we abide in Him. A Christian is a Christ-follower which is a verb- an action. We must follow his commandments verse 24. So, it underscores how being saved is not a hall pass for unlimited sin and to turn your back on God, unlike the fake news we hear people say these days. It spells it out right here in the Bible.

its a good thing to read the psalms not any hate for the the rest i love the lord

Tertius, as mentioned in Romans 16:22, we understand to have been the Apostle Paul's stenographer. We're unsure why Paul often didn't write his letters by his own hand; some think that it may have been his weak eyes ("his thorn in the flesh"). But he sometimes did write a salutation (appending some special greeting by his own hand) to his letters ( 1 Corinthians 16:21, Colossians 4:18, 2 Thessalonians 3:17).

The word 'Amen' literally means, "so be it". When a Christian prays to the Father with praise & requests, he does so asking in the Name of Jesus. It is only through Jesus' Name that we can approach God's Throne & it's only in Jesus' Name that God hears & answers prayer. So when we ask according to His Will, in the Name of Jesus, we say 'Amen' signifying that we are truly convinced & burdened about what we've asked for & are assured that God will hear & answer our prayer according to His Will & in His Time. So saying 'Amen' is not just a nice ending to prayer but our affirmation before God.

This reference from Genesis 17:1 tells us that God required Abram, even in old age, to always maintain the Living God in the centre of his life & to be 'perfect' (or, blameless, upright, sincere). It isn't that Abram should be sinless, as none of us can ever be, but that 'perfection' is Abram's (& our) standing before God. And in that standing, we are to be upright & sincere in our lives.

Today, through Jesus' Sacrifice & our faith in Him, are counted as blameless in God's Eyes. Not that we have done anything to secure that position, but that when God looks at us, He sees us through the death & resurrection of His Son & counts us as blameless (justified): freed from guilt & punishment. If God looked only at man's sin, we all stand guilty before Him. But God gave us His Sacrifice so that we wouldn't bear His punishment for our sins.

Just to add to Anthony's good comments, I see in these verses (19-21), the word, 'confidence' as the key. Verse 19: we can be confident before God because it rests on God's Truth. Verse 20: but if for some reason, we sense guilt & condemnation that may come from being 'overly sensitive' to committing some sin, we can rely on God knowing about it & sees/judges our action differently. And verse 21: but if we don't sense that unwarranted condemnation then it shows a true confidence in how God looks at us. Even though John writes here about a believer shutting his heart to those in need, I see the application to any other sin.

This is particularly relevant to many believers, as we so desire to please the Lord in all of our lives, that anything we suspect to have done that is contrary to His Word & His requirements of us, severely disturbs our consciences & spirits. So we can have over-sensitive Christians who actually lead very rigid, sometimes miserable lives, as they constantly assess their spiritual condition before God.

I knew one brother in Christ who maintained this condition & always wondered how he actually coped with living. E.g. time & energy were valuable to him & both were accountable before God: he chastised himself if he made two trips to the fridge to put something in it, when one trip would've sufficed. Another e.g.: he knew his weakness in the sexual realm; if seeing a potentially sin-causing female approaching him, he would immediately cross the road & turn his face away from her, so as to not sin. It was difficult walking alongside him on a sidewalk as this act would occur frequently & I inevitably found myself talking to myself. Now this is a severe & strange behaviour, but akin to how some react to anything that they deem as sinful, but in fact is the result of over-sensitivity. The answer to this, is not to pursue such behaviour, but to trust in God's understanding & judgement. Where clearly sin has been committed, then speedy confession made.

I don't believe that to be so. It will be a vaccine like any other that we have had in the past for protection against disease or virus. However, whether this vaccine will do what it is meant to do, given the speed at which it has to be manufactured & the short testing time, will be questionable.

The mark of the beast, as shown in Revelation chapter 13, will be an identifier, marking out a person as being subject to the Anti-Christ & thus able to continue to live under his authority. By receiving that Mark, a person declares that he desires that the Anti-Christ be his god (even if it is only to survive on the Earth), rather than being a follower resolute in his heart that the Eternal God will only be his. Most people won't have a problem in following & doing what he requires, as they either have no regard for God or being religious, God is unknowable, therefore without a personal relationship with Him in their lives.

What we should be careful on, are the various ways information is gathered on each one of us now & what we are required to have or do that will foster an easier transition to accepting such a Mark. Most things that come to us now have developed over time & according to man's ability & knowledge. And it's in that transitional time that we are also mentally conditioned to accept other developments, & to accept it as normal. In many cases, that's a good progress, e.g. we have slowly progressed from living in simple thatched roofed dwellings to state-of-the-art buildings with all the mod cons. Whereas, some call it progress when once homosexuality was considered a sin & a crime by govts., but now is openly acceptable. People have to be conditioned so as to accept something wrong or sinful, as being otherwise. And so it will be with the Mark, as its implementation will just be a couple of steps away from what we're already conditioned to accept. That's why our final authority in every aspect of our lives is the Word of God which is true & unchangeable.

It is a little more complex. What Jesus is saying is God is the great provider. And he is commissioning those to go out and perform God's work. It is not that we should not pursue our personal needs but that God will provide for his children just like he provides for nature. He gives us the ability to work to purchase the things we need. He gives us knowledge to be good stewards of the money we have. Everything we need, God already knows. If we become financially hindered due to the loss of work, God knows and already has a plan for us. We have to listen and use the knowledge and understanding given to us through the word and through prayer. If we are living for God, we will not go hungry..(it may be peanut butter sandwiches) but we will have food. We will have shelter..and we will have clothes.

Psalms 37:25

I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

Psalms 90:10

I believe this is our warring of the Spirit. We may feel guilt even after we have asked for true repentance. We ofter find it hard to forgive ourselves, even though we have attained forgiveness. The devil throws up past sins to defeat us, but by the grace and mercy of God they will be remembered no more. John is reminding us that we are free from the bondage of sin, but that our past reminds us of a truly sinful nature.

In Matthew 3:16. The Bible says that he went straightway out of the water. It can be implied that this was full immersion. But it does not plainly say he was completely immersed. It is of my opinion that he was immersed into a watery grave to symbolize what was to come. His death, burial, and resurrection. There are many opinions to how he was baptized, and how we are to baptize today. I hope this helps a little.

What does it mean that bram should walk before God and be blameless?

Hi

I was told the 10 tribes went to America but I can't see anywhere in the verses where that is possible, and not only that verse 47 says they will return the same way they left.

I like that the last verse in the Bible ends in amen.

Also that in the end of a payer yo say amen like it is finished or you're finishing a promise.

I think you're right

The people committed something wrong.

"the inspired word of God" means nothing. It literally tells you its from inspiration.

Its all added to and taken from as you can tell.

The vatican is a lucaferian organization.
