Discuss Genesis 31 Page 2

Where in the Bible God say A ha?

If the unbeliever depart let them depart.

Commentary: Numbers 30:12 "But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard [them; then] whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her."

When he committed adultery you were eligible to be divorced. Divorce is barely tolerated because of vows. He broke the vow with you; first.

It matters what the "grounds" were for the divorce.

You and your intended need to make an appointment with your Pastor, for counseling. It all needs to be sorted out before you initiate intimacy. It is wisdom to seek this counseling. To be informed before proceeding.

Children bear the scars emotionally in divorce; way into adulthood. It needs to be handled righteously for their sakes. They should not know all the details.

I hope this helps. Mishael

I am seeing different verses about divorce. My former husband had multiple partners while we were married and continued to be unfaithful and he was hostile after marriage torwads me and the children. So I left the home but he divorced me first. I need to know because he divorced me and my situation I know Jesus has forgiven me but I do have someone I love dearly that is Christian like me and he was divorced with his wife as well. Does this make us adulters still in the lord's eyes in the day of judgment?

But first u ask Jesus. The Bible says do all things saying" By will" because no matter what we need JESUS we need remission of sins in JESUS name. The Bible says there is power in the name Jesus. The Bible says baptize in the name"of the Father,Son , and Holy Ghost." Which must be Jesus! Satan wants to take out the powerful name"Jesus"

I can guarantee you it's great that you have that but how about the (probably) millions/billions who go in heaven. That DONT have it. All. i need is His Spirit and ill be A OK. But maybe ill check it out.

Why? I mean it's not like he is cussing.

I dont think so. Taking idols is taking faalse gods. It is best is not to take too long to judge. The idol didnt save anyone. It didnt save her from death or whatever. The Jesus' holy children will be saved. As the song says " Death is a lie!" For God's saints it is. I am not a Universalist or whatever heresy in the Not-pure-anymore-Church.

Stuff is not slang. It is a general all inclusive word. And also you do know this is the 2016 KJB version. Right?

Beth means house and el (like Elohim) has a reference to God so Bethel means House of God literally.

Genesis 31:13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.

Amos 3:14 That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.

Bethel did have much apostacy at times.

Wow, in every nation there lies an oppressed people, the remnant seed of the Ancient Israelites on whom Genesis 31:29 speaks of now occurring in the 'latter days'. For those of us who are of the ancient seed, and have become the true worshipers of God in spirit and in truth in Jesus Christ our hiding place, these curses have no impact on our lives. Thank you Jesus for being our kinsman Redeemer.

So here is a firm covenant, before Jehovah, that the border of Syria and Israel is on the mount Gilead? The Golan Heights are much further north? Mmm.

Stuff the noun in this early modern context should be associated with the verb and interpreted as their furnishing. Stuffing in the sense of a mattress or pillow、 slang is a misnomer in language it is a class based assessment not a linguistic reality. One of my reasons for reading KJB is for etymology and early modern context since becoming an English teacher overseas and encountering US English

Verse 5- even when our family members fail to be there for us we can count on Jehovah God being there for us if we draw lose to him.

Leslie: Thanksgiving would not be Thanksgiving without the Turkey and the 'stuffings." (jk) We say stuff all the time down south and we also say Ya'll.

Leigh (cont.); "..Did I miss something?" Abraham came into the land of Canaan by God's direction, to pass his days as a stranger and a pilgrim in a country that was to be given to him in the future; and as a watcher and a holy one to be a witness of the ungodly nation which God was about to take away. Jacob knew the high and holy calling of God on his family though his wife lagged a little behind.

Leigh; The relatives of Jacob were nothing like the Canaanites, even if they were infected with idols: they were not the same kind that Moses later wrote about, who did every abomination that the LORD hates and therefore had God judged to have them completely and utterly exterminated from the earth. There are nations and people today that simply don't know any better, and the Lord will have mercy.

It puzzles me that because Isaac and Rebekah did not want Jacob to marry an idolatrous Canaanite they sent him to her brother Laban to find a wife. Now it turns out that Rachael steels his images and he accuses Jacob of steeling his gods. Huh? Did I miss something?

In the town that I grew up in (1950's) one of the ministers was removed for using the word "stuff" from the pulpit.

End of day 10 Bible reading. Fascinating "stuff". Many of Jacob's trials are part of his own undoing, but in those trials we see him exercise a steady dependence upon God to see him through. These chapters are rich in history. There is drama with all kind of emotion feigned or real and noone is seen that is completely selfless. But Jacob is, like Abraham, the stranger and he learns to trust.

To Leslie on 'stuff' - Michael C. was right. Also, the word 'stuff' is not slang. Also it's from the 1700's KING'S ENGLISH. There is no better English. Also, 'stuff' was translated from the O.T. Hebrew. We say, oh, it's just stuff ....; that's not a slang word. It's a 'general, all inclusive term.

Does no one find it odd that in the KJV Bible Genesis 31:37 , the word "stuff" is used twice? Their speech back then was so proper...stuff is slang.

Holy means,things that have to do with God.thus you have the story of one Gods Favorites Jacob,there are more twist and turns in this story than espionage movie.

good bible love

I believe in the story of Laban and Jacob, but I also believe that "May the Lord watch between me and thee, while we are absent one from another " is appropriate for two or more people who may be separated to remain united in faith and in love. until they meet again

You don 't ask for freedom but you fight for it

God is good to me

Laban was A deceitful man Jacob was very wise in dealing with his cheating lying ways... Rachel wanted to get even stole his idols.. A chip off the family tree...

What I take away from this chapter is Jacob's incredible patience and doing each thing requested of him by his father-in-law over and over again without getting angry and outraged .....he was subservient and obedient and controlled any outrage he may have felt by the constant betraying of his father=in=law's word to him who would instead ask for more and more of Jacob...Jacob acted respectfully and compliant to his father in laws demands and requests even though they were unfair and unjust.....Jacob instead of taking matters into his own hands....relied on Jehovah and His mercy...God brought him through all this because he relied on God to take care of everything including the injustices he suffered....this chapter teaches us to hang in there relying on God to take care of injustices and those who perpetrate them on us even it takes years....God acts in His own time....we must have faith that He has our backs.....

The begining of the world.
