  • GiGi on Exodus 9 - 2 years ago
    In this chapter, the YHWH continues to talk to Moses and sends Moses and Aaron back to Pharaoh bringing more plagues upon Egypt, but sparing the Israelites in the land of Goshen. Pharaoh's heart is hardened further, even though at one point he admits to having sinned and acknowledged the True God of the Israelites. Yet we discover that his words were not true words of repentance because he hardened his heart further when the plagues were stopped. He was just giving lip service in order to get a reprieve from this God he did not really know nor honor. Yet all of the ways of Pharaoh, God had orchestrated to bring about His purposes. By now the Israelites should be so thankful and sold out to YHWH seeing how they were spared the plagues how powerful YHWH truly was.

    The Egyptians worshipped both cows and bulls. The cow-god was Hathor and represented all of the best qualities of a female. The bull-god was Apis, Hathor's son (who was the most sacred bull-god as there were many bull-gods) who represented protection, virility, male prowess. Also, Apis was worshipped as actually god-creator and represented divinity and eternity. Seth was a donkey or camel -god, sometimes a mix of livestock represented storms and desert.

    Resheph was the name of the horse-god and represented war and pestilence.

    Menes was a goat-god.

    The pestilence (murrian) affected both humans and a variety of livestock. YHWH smiting the livestock of the Egyptians was pestilence demonstrated His defeat of all these livestock-gods.

    The next plague was skin boils, pustules, skin eruptions.

    There were gods/goddesses of healing, medicine.

    Sekmet-goddess of healing

    Thoth-god of healing

    Isis-goddess of medicine

    YHWH sending this plague challenged these gods ability to heal.

    The next plague was that of fire and hail.

    Shango was the fire and thunder god.

    Nut was the hail god.

    So YHWH was showing He was stronger and more fierce than these gods.

  • Theresa - 2 years ago
    Is a submerged baptism the only way to be truly baptized? This has been a very misunderstood issue with us. I was taught to be submerged my friends have been taught differently. All of us want to follow the TRUE instructions of God, but haven't been able to pin point it in the Bible .

    What is meant by baptized by fire, Matthew 3:11?

    Thank you for your help

  • Roy on Acts 18 - 2 years ago
    In the Acts Chpt 18 I find the phrase "that Jesus was Christ" and the "was Christ" raises a question as this appears to be a reference to an earlier and stand alone entity that is perhaps buried in the Old Testament - is this the case?

    Thanks for your help

  • Lukethebaptist - 2 years ago
    can I get an amen for replacement theology? Christians are Gods people, not the synagouge of satan. Romans 9-11 totally proves it and Ephesians 2. Jesus said the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
  • Lukethebaptist - 2 years ago
    The law of God is pure and perfect. The way to judge how righteous a nation is is if their laws match up closely to God's laws, not the ceremonial of course. The united states had strong laws against witchcraft and sodomy in the 1600s and 1700s. the united states needs to bring back the death penalty for sodomites and child molestors and human traffickers.
  • Rick Colombe on Joshua 2 - 2 years ago
    I've read comments about Rahab not being a harlot. Even Matthew Henry made a comment that she was not likely a harlot, but rather a business women such as innkeeper. The Word of God warns us of changing His word. Do not add to it, nor subtract from it! So what's it going to be? Do we believe all of His word, or pick and choose what fits our own narrative? I think we best follow His Word, and lean not on our own understanding.

    Do you know people in heaven
  • Leslie - 2 years ago
    I've spent a few days going through the comments section and I'm really surprised that 99% of the comments are about New Testament protocol. Why are there no Old Testament buffs out there? Haven't you had enough of affirmations, much of it based on faulty doctrine? How is it nobody respects the prophets enough to read them and have an opinion on them? How are you supposed to understand the end times if you don't know the times you live in?

    For those that are interested would find a light to know some simple hidden truths, like the earthquake in Revelation 6:12 is the same earthquake described in Revelation 11:13. You would know that if you've taken the time to think it through. Nothing is handed to you, except maybe that one.

    If I can't exchange prophetic thoughts in this prophetic time, then my time here will be very limited.

  • Godhead OR Trinity - 2 years ago
    Holy Trinity, Where Did That Name Originate?

    The Holy Trinity is one of the greatest mysteries of the Catholic faith, and is an attempt to describe the mysterious nature of God.

    'The mystery of the Most Holy TRINITY is the central mystery of Christian faith and life'

    (Catechism of the CATHOLIC Church {CCC} 234)

    The Trinity refers to the idea that God is one, but can be experienced in three different Persons.

    ****The word 'trinity' comes from the word 'tri' meaning 'three' and 'unity' meaning 'one'.

    CATHOLICS believe that there are three distinct Persons to this one God and that these three Persons form a unity. This belief is called the doctrine of the Trinity:

    God the Father - the creator and sustainer of all things

    God the Son - the incarnation of God as a human being, Jesus Christ, on Earth

    God the Holy Spirit - the power of God which is active in the world, drawing people towards God.

    [see Romans 1:20 in the King James Bible]
  • GiGi on Exodus 8 - 2 years ago
    ...continued When Moses continued to press Pharaoh to let the Israelites go into the wilderness to worship, Pharaoh relents and says they can go, but not to go far. People who are being released from bondage no longer need to listen or obey the former master under whom they had been in bondage to. People also, should wish to get as far away from this "master" as they can and not look back. Because, as this chapter shows us, the 'master' (pharaoh) reneged on his agreement and was not willing to let them go as soon as YHWH took away the plague of flies. He hardened his heart further. Sin is our master in our fleshly nature. We have been delivered from it by Jesus (YHWH). We should want to be as separated from it as the Israelites were separated by YHWH from the plagues of lice and flies, whereas before they had suffered the first plagues. They needed to learn the seriousness of remaining in bondage. They needed to learn to look to YHWH for all protection from enemies and unhealthy, unclean things. We should see sin as being far worse for us as these plagues. It is deadly. So, once we are delivered from sin, we should hate it in all forms and not desire to go back to it.

    Were the Israelites learning that YHWH is truly the only God and the only One they can trust with their lives? Were they learning that YHWH was the One True God and the others they had learned about in Egypt were truly false? Were they learning that YHWH was the One True God worthy of their worship? I think God was working on these things with the Israelites before they leave Egypt so that they will never want to go back into a place of bondage. They needed to know what YHWH could do to them and what he could rescue them from so that they would not look back like Lot's wife. Certainly, the Israelites wanted to have their yoke of bondage eliminated, but if they were freed and could remain in Egypt would they ever leave? Probably not. they need to go with Him when He says go, and go where He says to go.
  • Lou on Genesis 1 - 2 years ago
    Was Naaman so infected with leprosy that he avoided being put in a leper colony or was it not looked down upon by the Arabs in the same way that the Jews considered leprosy?
  • Cecil - 2 years ago
    Isaiah 45:7 God's ways are kind of like our ways, in some ways. At the 6th trumpet God uses a foreign army to bring judgment to "His" wayward people (Babylon) for their disobedience. God is so proud of His 6th trumpet army, His beast army, and the leader who executes His will ( Joel 2:11). Then we come to find out that God is angry at the beast for doing what God had asked of him; destroy Babylon. If God didn't want Isaiah 24 or Obadiah results, why did He bless Russian scientists with the ability to destroy nations? God behaves akin to a mafia boss, just follow the narrative.
