Basic summary of the life of Joseph, son of Jacob
I have reexamined Genesis and found the above summary is inaccurate. Here is the correction: - Joseph’s brothers were jealous of him, so they sold him to the Egyptians as a slave to Potiphar, a captain in Pharaoh's house; - Potiphar's wife wanted to sleep with Joseph, but he refused. In anger... -
Basic summary of the life of Joseph, son of Jacob
Is this an accurate history of Joseph, son of Jacob: - Joseph’s brothers were jealous of him, so they sold him to the Egyptians as a slave; - While in Egypt, Joseph successfully interpreted a dream and as a result, because a high servant in Pharaoh’s household; - Pharaoh’s wife wanted to... -
Does Genesis 11-13 indicate that Canaan is located south of Egypt?
Excellent explanation chessman. However, I am not sure I agree with the implication that “went up out of Egypt” means travelled northbound. “Went up out of Egypt” may simply mean that he “traveled from Egypt.” In fact, the International Standard Version translates the phrase as “traveled from... -
Does Genesis 11-13 indicate that Canaan is located south of Egypt?
Can we conclude from the following verses that Canaan is located south of Egypt, since Abram travelled southbound from Egypt prior to settling in Canaan? - Abram was originally from Ur (Gen 11:31); - Abram’s father took him to the land of Canaan. They settled in Haran (Gen 11:31); - God told... -
Are civil authorities under the authority of God or Satan?
Are civil authorities under the authority of God or Satan? The following verses indicate that Satan governs the world: Satan offered all of the kingdoms of the world because they belonged to him; Jesus never disputed that these kingdoms were under Satan: Mat 4:8 Again, the devil took Him up... -
How are Christians to interpret Jesus’ commandment to love their enemies?
Apologies; I meant to refer to Butch5, who in an earlier post linked to his/her paper on pacifism. -
How do pacifist Christians reconcile pacifism with with Jesus's commendation of the Roman centurion?
Thank you all for your responses. It seems that militant Christianity is based largely on Old Testament verses commanding violence that do not appear to me to be applicable to Christians today and the absence of any condemnation on the part of John the Baptist, Jesus and Peter when they... -
How do pacifist Christians reconcile pacifism with with Jesus's commendation of the Roman centurion?
How do pacifist Christians respond to the following arguments in support of militant Christianity: The New Testament contains various accounts in which John the Baptist, Jesus and Peter encounter Roman soldiers. Had military service been incompatible with being a member of Kingdom of God, surely... -
How are Christians to interpret Jesus’ commandment to love their enemies?
jocor, Rollo, Deborah13 and the other pacifists on this forum: How would you respond to the following arguments in support of militant Christianity: The New Testament contains various accounts in which John the Baptist, Jesus and Peter encounter Roman soldiers. Had military service been... -
How are Christians to interpret Jesus’ commandment to love their enemies?
Thank you all for these very helpful posts. jocor, you said that modern Jews “are not believers in Messiah Yeshua and do not follow his teaching to ‘love your enemies.’” Can’t this teaching also be found in the Old Testament as well? You also said, “had Israel obeyed Yahweh in the beginning by... -
How are Christians to interpret Jesus’ commandment to love their enemies?
How are Christians to interpret Jesus’ commandment to love their enemies? Jesus said, “love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you” (Mat 5:44). I would estimate that the majority of Christians, viewing... -
"The degrading of many Prophets in the Bible as worshipers of false gods"
The following Quranic verses may shed light on why Dr. Baagil calls Jews and Muslims archenemies: - “Thou wilt certainly find the most violent of people in enmity against the believers to be the Jews and the idolaters†(5:82); - “For the iniquity of the Jews We made unlawful for them...- jmt356

Was Solomon a prophet?
I strongly disagree. First off, a prophecy is defined by the Oxford English dictionary as “a prediction†and “the faculty or practice of prophesying,†which is in turn defined as predicting and speaking or writing “by divine inspiration.†Therefore, predicting or forecasting is an... -
Are Anglicans Protestants?
Defining Protestant as one who believes: (i) the Bible (66 books) is the sole arbiter in matters of faith and behavior (sola scriptura), and (ii) mankind can be justified by faith in the perfect righteousness of Christ, which is imputed to the faithful (sola fide). Anglicans believe that the...- jmt356

Was Solomon a prophet?
David was a prophet because: 1. He prophesied. Psalm 41:9, for example, declares “Even My bosom friend in whom I trusted, who ate of My bread, has lifted his heel against Me.†This is a Messianic prophecy foreshadowing John 13:18: “that the Scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread... -
"The degrading of many Prophets in the Bible as worshipers of false gods"
I was wondering if there were any thoughts about the section of Dr. H. M. Baagil's book Muslim Christian Dialogue discussing "the degrading of many Prophets in the Bible as worshipers of false gods and accusing them of incest, rape and adultery" (p. 25). Specifically, he writes: Noah is shown...- jmt356

Was Solomon a prophet?
On a related note, it is important to point out the specific reason that Moses died before inheriting the promised land. It would be inaccurate to say it was because of unbelief. It is rather because he failed to obey God’s commandment to the “t.†When the children of Israel came to the... -

Was Solomon a prophet?
I am not sure I see the distinction between disqualifying us, having consequences as to our state, and having consequences as to our standing with Christ. In any case, it is clear from scripture that there are sins that prevent us from entering heaven: 1Co 6:9 Do you not know that the... -
