Bible Is Hard To Understand

Bible version matters. From the King James Exodus 4:24-26 "And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him. Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. So He let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision." Circumcision was commanded in the Old Covenant. Moses had not performed this on his son (didn't obey God). Moses' wife was resisting it, and only after the Lord was going to kill Moses did the wife do what she was supposed to do. Then the Lord let Moses go, because of obedience.

I Am Furious With Him
	If he is a good man and worthy of you marrying him and being with for 23 years...why be angry with him? If YOU trust him, nothing else matters. No one can harm your marriage but you. I agree with Pati3447. You need to pray and empower yourself instead of feeling threatened. God protects His children, stand on your faith in Him and He will help you.

Fell Asleep And Went To Heaven

Lee, There is a definite article before "the righteous". Do you think that means there is only one righteous who will inherit eternal life? Mat 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Or do you think there is only one commandment? As far as the Sabbath is concerned, I have shared with you in detail Hebrews 3-4 which explains clearly there remains a rest for the people of God. Here is one more for you, and though you turn your head from it, God's people will see and believe. Luke 23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments, and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

Saved By Doing Things

---Curious.one on 10/23/09 Not at all, I do not believe in universalism. I know the definition of hell. The Bible says that the wicked will not be granted eternal life. Only the righteous will be given eternal life. The wicked will burn in the lake of fire...but they will have an end. How can a soul be destroyed if they live forever? Not possible. God said he will destroy the wicked and they will be no more. They will be ashes under the souls of our feet. We will search for them, but they will not be. They will have spiritual and physical death. I can give you the scriptures if you are interested.

Who Are The Real Jews

more_excellent_way 9/19/09 You misunderstand what it means to be in Christ and to be a Jew. Rm2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter,... Gal3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Eph2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: They are no longer aliens/strangers...but are now part of Israel through Christ so that they can be an heir to the promise made to Abraham by God.

Saved By Doing Things

Curious One, God will not always keep His anger. And with Him there will be pleasures forever more. Jeremiah 3:12 ...for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever. Psalms 103:8-14 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever... Psalms 16:11 (King David talking to God) Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy, at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. (Thou means "you" in old english) (Thy means "your", chide means struggle/fight with)

How To Get People Saved

As always Anne, great points. Just thought I would add these: Proverbs 10:8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall. Proverbs 11:5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. Proverbs 28:14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

Can Women Know The Bible

Galations 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And also there is a hierarchy to God's order if that is part of your question? 1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God. An example of a woman having better understanding than a man: 1Sa 25:3 Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings...

Can Salvation Be Lost?

Mima, 2Corinthians 6:1 "We then, as workers together with Him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain." The only way it could be in vain is if they lose it. 1Th 5:19"Quench not the Spirit." If The Holy Spirit can not be quenched...why would the Bible say do not quench it? Since it is an implied "you" should not quench it...obviously it is "the person they are speaking to" doing the quenching. US Take responsibility and stop sticking your head in the sand. Acts15:29...if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

Divorce Second Husband

---metuschelah on 10/9/09 2Sa 3:14 And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for an hundred foreskins of the Philistines. 2Sa 3:15 And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Phaltiel the son of Laish. 2Sa 3:16 And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return. And he returned.

Why Was The Sabbath Changed

IV. Paul in the book of Hebrews describes the differences of the two Covenant Priesthoods, and the reasons why the Old Covenant was replace with the New Covenant. The animals blood, etc., could not erase their sins, but they received credit for their obedience as they waited for The Messiah, who is Christ, to come and erase their sins completely. The commandment spoken of in Heb 7:18 meant the Levitical laws for sanctification, and not the Ten Commandments. Hebrews describes the conversion from the old ways of justification, purification, sanctification to Christs priesthood laws for cleansing. God never voided the Ten Commandments,, it was the sacrificial system that was replaced which was given the Jews as a commandment.

Why Was The Sabbath Changed

III. Paul is talking to the Hebrews (Jews) who had been living under the Levitical priesthood which required killing animals, outward circumcision, etc., for their sanctification, justification, and purification. These Jews for many generations had been told by God if they did not become outwardly circumcised and perform these sacrifices, they could not be saved because that would be breaking God's covenant with them and they would be cut off. (Gen 17:14) It required some convincing proof to stop and do something new. It required great faith for them. The Old system was to teach the severe consequences of sin.

Harry Potter Movies Sinful

Witchcraft and idolatry are undeniably sins. (Gal 5:20) 2Jn 1:9-11 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

Why Was The Sabbath Changed

I. Rom 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy,and just, and good. 1Ti 1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully, Rom 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Notice that this verse says the law speaks to those who are under the law. Now notice that it tells who is under the law: "every mouth" and "all the world" The law does work. The law is good.

Why Was The Sabbath Changed

II. Heb 7:18-19 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. (Levitical Priesthood) For the law made nothing perfect, (animals blood) but the bringing in of a better hope did, (Christ) by the which we draw nigh unto God. Heb 9:9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience, Heb 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

Fell Asleep And Went To Heaven

Some believe after Paul was stoned, that he died and experienced 2Cor 12:1-6. However, scripture does not say that he died, and Paul states he could not tell how he experienced this event. 2Co 12:1-6 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell, or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth,) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth,) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

Divorce My Busy Husband

Amen Moderator! The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman, a Christian marriage counselor, is an awesome book. You can get it in audio CD or MP3 as well. There are extreme stories of marriages in trouble that mend. People who describe feeling very lonely and unloved have found the love they desperately needed and were blessed. I wish I had read this book years ago. I think it would be excellent for single people too. This book is so worth the time and money. I have given it out to many of my friends.

Why Was The Sabbath Changed

Jamison- Heb3-4 ...Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:... (Some who came out of Egypt) ...To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts... ...There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. ...For he that is entered into His rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. (Those who believe-obey Him.)
