Genesis Chapter 30 Discussion Page 2

My pastor said We give because we get the opportunity not becsuse we have to Doncella

U see, God have always paved way dat his people must follow. Pls frnds bible is not a shakespear book once d spirit of God is not in you, u can't understand it

Now the reason why God wants that first born set aside for him..Is because without that first born son There would be no message.!! The flesh blood line would not have gone forward And the secret or mystery why we are here would not have been able to been figured out... Or know Christ would have died on the cross for our sins..When Cain knew what he did he said what he said to the Lord because he knew That my punishment is more than I can bear And knowing what he felt and did he knew that someone could come and kill him Or have enmity toward him..!!The first example of the first born ever born from the flesh example of what and how we all can be and have in our hearts enmity ,in the flesh..So the Lord mark him... To begin The Living Word

Oh my....Nowhere in God's Word does it say the first born daughter is to be married first Or male Only Like Laden and everybody else says it's our customer.!!!!!!The only thing that God says is that the firstborn of cattle And the firstborn of men Are to be set aside because they are mine.!!! We know what the firstborn of the cattle are for atonement this ends of the family Or person It is unclear why the firstborn are to be set aside however I believe, or I know it's because they insure a bloodline carry forward in the flesh..!The first born is to receive a double portion of the inheritance And has the right to be the head of that house.!!!And a woman if she is not married is to receive a heritage.!! Read people ..

Harry Jesus says I change not one jot of the law That is one tittle or dot Our fathers laws from the first five books of the Bible are very much in affect the statutes and ordinances When Jesus died on the cross he Took the place of one law Which is even still a law That a blood sacrifice Of a animal was no longer needed to atone for ones sins..Read my good sir...!!!!!

sowing is much easier than reaping! jacob deceived his father and reaped the consequences of getting ahead of God. God does and did forgive, but, that forgiveness does not erase the depth of our actions or the consequences. Just as He does today, God was merciful unto Jacob inspite of his deceit!

Christians should have faith in Our LORD JESUS in everything. We need to pray to HIM without ceasing as written in the BIBLE.

For us, that question of intercourse and marriages, when did God ever mention about the Sabbath, honoring mom and father, coveting, etc... Not until Moses because then Jesus came and explained it all. Please don't let America tell you what is right or wrong, as opposed to God. If marriage was not between man and woman, where would we be?

Deceit, jealousy, pride, envy and all other sins are still alive today! Although now we have HOPE in JESUS who died for our sins. HE broke the chains and did away with the law. JESUS wants a relationship with us!

I feel that we can also learn from this, waiting, trusting and having faith in God. Because if we decide to do it our way, it�s not going to work. At the end it�s going to be what God said it would be. We will always have to do it God�s way for it to work.

I was rather shocked at how the two sisters played themselves against each other. I'm so happy that we are no longer under the law, but under grace and truth. It's amazing how Jacob got the cattle, sheep, goats, and asses to be become speckled and spotted. Thank you God for Giving your son. And in return your son giving his blood shed for me! Hallelujah Praise the Lord.

God's word is unbroken. He means what He says and He does that truly and faithfully.

Rachel had a need and desired a change but lacked understanding, character and a sense of where lies her solution. Although it was for Leah's sake, Leah was not the cause of Rachel's barreness. All Rachel needed to have done was to change her attitude towards Leah, instead, she completely ignored God and arrogantly sought the solution of her barreness from Jacob who did not possess the power to help. Ill character and misdirection of hope surely will prolong ones deliverance.

i think thjat she wanted to please her husband so bad she would have done anything for him to be happy even if she didn't want tor the lord wait for the lord sometimes we love to strong for our man

Did Jesus come and end all this by giving strict commands as to marriage and number of wives. Somebody did because I dont remember reading so much incest and multiple marriages in the New Testement.

This is a no no this days inside or outside the church. In early times the world was to be populated and that was the permitted custom so please. Let's not go any further. It is not permited today. We have 1 man and 1 woman. thanks

Well, I'm not sure how this will go over, but take it with as much wisdom as you can. See, back then, this was socially acceptable, but that didnt make it right. When people lean to thei rown understanding, and dont trust God, these things happen. Instead of beliving in Gods word, people try to make up for their "apparent" shortcom ings ie; having no kids. It's also important to remember how the cast and inheritence worked back then. Without any male children, women couldn't own or have any inheritence. If you ask why, go see what God said to Eve in genesis.....about how the husbamd will rule, and about how the children will act.

Well, the whole chapter is quite interesting but what is so shocking for me, is jacob marrying two sisters who are also his first cousin, and then as if that was no enough this women, had to give him their made to sleep with and he could not say no, and he bare children thru the maids, it looks to me that in those early days there were no laws as such , and all that was acceptable to God, because God did not caution him, i hope someone can give me some explanation on this.

We must remember that from Adam until now the people duty to populate the world. At this time (Later) - This was not weird or a sin.

wow this chapter is really deep but what throughs me off is marrying and having children by your first cousin thats kind of weird to me. because its against the law but in the bible it was ok. i really dont get that at all but im definitely going to talk to my pastor because im just really floored. adultery, incest thats to much for me to handle right now going to bed
