    The order of things

    As God commands him to. One of my all time favorite stories is that of Joseph. Starting with Jacob acquiring his wives, one loved and the other unloved. Then the RUTHLESS competition to win Jacob’s favor through childbearing with sons nothing more than pawns in a chess game played by adults -...

    Oldest piece of Tech you still use?

    I use a wooden spoon every day … that is Neolithic technology. ;)

    The order of things

    In the Book of Exodus, the people left bondage in Egypt and were immediately led into the WILDERNESS for 40 YEARS to be tested and proven (reveal what they are made of: purified). They were led there BY GOD. There is an immediate parallel between Israel (the nation) and Jesus (the True...

    If the Law says not to communicate with the dead, then why did Jesus talk to Moses and Elijah?

    No. I am saying that the Bible Says that it is NOT OK to use ‘witchcraft’ to talk with the dead. The LAW which I quoted does not speak to whether or not it is “OK” to speak with the dead without witchcraft. You will need to keep searching SCRIPTURE for an answer to that question. (Jesus did not...

    If the Law says not to communicate with the dead, then why did Jesus talk to Moses and Elijah?

    Leviticus 19:31 [NASB95] “Do not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.” Deuteronomy 18:9-14 [NASB95] "When you enter the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the detestable things of those...

    If the Law says not to communicate with the dead, then why did Jesus talk to Moses and Elijah?

    Since you were not satisfied with my previous answer, let’s try this: What, EXACTLY, does this Law that you are concerned about say?

    If the Law says not to communicate with the dead, then why did Jesus talk to Moses and Elijah?

    I understood your question, you did not understand my answer. Abraham is not dead. Isaac is not dead. Jacob is not dead. Moses is not dead. (all three died, but they are not dead … even Jesus died but is not dead.) THEREFORE, Jesus can speak with Moses and be speaking with the living and not...

    If the Law says not to communicate with the dead, then why did Jesus talk to Moses and Elijah?

    When you die … and I assume that you will one day … will you be dead or alive? (It is an eternal question). “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die...

    If the Law says not to communicate with the dead, then why did Jesus talk to Moses and Elijah?

    Jesus doesn’t speak with the DEAD, Jesus brings them back to life to talk with them. The dead do talk with God … it’s a spirit to spirit thing. [Luke 20:38] "Now He is not the God of the dead but of the living; for all live to Him."

    When did the New Testament begin?

    Matthew 9, Mark 2 and Luke 5 … [Matthew 9:2 NASB95] 2 And they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, "Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven." [Mark 2:5 NASB95] 5 And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are...

    When did the New Testament begin?

    “Testament” means Covenant or Agreement, so the question is when did the NEW Covenant begin (and replace the Old Covenant)?

    Did Samuel prophesy after he died?

    Sirach is probably just in error (reread the Story of Lazarus and the rich man where they COULD NOT get a message back to the living). The witch of Endor did what witches do … spoke with lying demons to deceive. [A broken record, I know, but these sort of contradictions are why the apocryphal...

    What do you think about the Curse of Jeconiah?

    You and I don’t agree on much ;) … but this time I have to admit that you have a valid point. A name change for the first son seems like (at the very least) a legitimate possibility. It would make for a heck of a story … the first born that follows God, like his father did, and is denied the...

    What do you think about the Curse of Jeconiah?

    I did watch it (after your post). It was well made. I liked the “Princess Bride” videos spliced in. The speculation on the first son of the King was interesting. It was certainly something that I had not heard before. It’s weakness is that it is, ultimately, more of an “argument from...

    What do you think about the Curse of Jeconiah?

    An interesting aside about “lineage”: Mary was of the lineage of King David, so Elizabeth was likely also of the lineage of King David. Zacharias, Elizabeth’s husband, was of the lineage of Aaron (required to serve in the Holy of Holies). So John the Baptist was from both the Royal and...

    What do you think about the Curse of Jeconiah?

    From Got Questions: Jeconiah, also called “Jehoiachin” (1 Chronicles 3:16, NIV) and “Coniah” (Jeremiah 22:24), was a king of Judah who was deported as part of the Babylonian captivity (Esther 2:6; 1 Chronicles 3:17). He is also listed in the genealogy of Jesus, in Joseph’s family line (Matthew...

    Jesus Afraid?

    It sure is intellectually perplexing, isn’t it. God is perfect. He was always perfect and He will always be perfect. PERFECT, by the very definition of perfect, cannot be made “more perfect” (or it was not PERFECT to begin with). Therein lies the paradox - the glorious MYSTERY - that PERFECT...

    Who do you think is the little horn in Daniel 8?

    Here is what Matthew Henry said about the “little horn”: 6. He saw a little horn which became a great persecutor of the church and people of God; and this was the principal thing that was intended to be shown to him in this vision, as afterwards, ch. 11:30, etc. All agree that this was...

    1 Peter 3:18-20

    From the Commentary of A.R. Fausset on 1 Peter 3: Two ways of explaining 1Pe 3:18, 19, are open to us: (1) "Quickened in Spirit," that is, immediately on His release from the "flesh," the energy of His undying spirit-life was "quickened" by God the Father, into new modes of action, namely, "in...
