Dear tinaderricott,
Welcome to the forum!
I would say at least four, for which God was the primary cause. One more for which God made use of secondary causes.

Dear gailj,
No, I do not think you can find an explicit explanation of the causes for Jewish and Samaritan animosity spelled out in the Bible. Instead, as you have noted, it is alluded to, but not explained. There is, however, a variety of extra Biblical documentation that gives us an idea of the reasons for the hatred. From everything I've read, there were many reasons for it going both ways. The differences as to the proper place to worship (mentioned in John 4:20) was a philosophical argument. There was much wrong that each side perpetrated on the other, including political intrigue and violence.

Hi Doc,
Great points
Are all of God's words in scripture.
Did he ever speak to any one on the earth that was not recorded in the scriptures.
Obviously the answer is yes.
The words of Christ for his entire life are the words of God, however they are not all recorded.
In the beginning was the word.
Not in the beginning was the scriptures,
Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh not the scriptures made flesh.
I agree God is inseparable from His Word and He is inseparable from the scriptures also.
The Word made flesh is Christ Jesus. He is much more than simply the scriptures made flesh.
The scripturesare referred to as The word of the Lord not The Lord.
I worship God and I use the scriptures.
I do not use God in the same sense as I use scriptures.
We will discuss further

Dear
Luke 23:39-43
A man who had lived badly most of his life trusted in the Savior during the very moments he was dying for his crimes. He did not receive baptism, yet he did receive the promise that he would be with the Savior.
John 3:16 says if you trust in the Savior you will have eternal life.
Baptism is simply an act of obedince. An outward sign to yourself and anyone else who may be interested that something unique and special has happened to you - that you are no longer who and what you once were, you are a changed person.
It is a very good thing to be baptized, but it is not necessary to go to heaven. Trusting the word of God and the finished work of His Son is what is absolutely necessary.
Shalom and blessings in Messiah

Hello gibson,
Thank you for your question. I'll try and give a short, yet concise response:-)
First, note the action of the verse. It is God who:
- Establishes us;
- Anoints us
Second, we are the recipients of this action. All believers are consecrated with the Holy Spirit here, as in 1 John 2:20. It is a one-time act just as the OT priests were anointed with oil- once. I find no 2nd or 3rd annointings in scripture! One either is, or is not! As Christ is the "Anointed" (as His name means), so He has anointed us with the Spirit. As the Bible Knowledge Commentary adds, "A further consequence of the Spirit’s presence is the seal of ownership (cf. Eph. 1:13-14) which also is accomplished at the moment of faith."
To "anoint" simply means enduing the believer with gifts of the Holy Spirit. Here is the difference: All believers are annointed with the Holy Spirit. As Paul notes in 1 Cor. 12:4,11 "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit."... But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills." (NASB)
How is the word annointed misused? I think it is often given far more meaning and significance than is scriptural- particularly in WOF cirles! You hear, "he's really anointed", "they're anointed", etc. The fact is ALL believers are anointed! It has almost become a "mystical" power that only the few spiritually superior posses. As it's misused, "anointed" becomes the garment of the "spiritual elite", aka Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Todd Bentley, et al.
Paul warns us in 1 Cor. 4:6, "..that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other." (NASB) We need to keep the meaning and use within it's scriptural context.
Speaking the Truth in Love,

Dear michanthony,
The Bible did not record the age of Job. From the verse above, after his trial, he lived another 140 years. In the beginning chapter, Job had 10 children already. Some study surmised that he should be over 200 years old.
Shalom

The Talmud offers the following:
"Why are Samaritans excluded from entering Israel? Because they were mixed up with the priests of the high places. Rabbi Ishmael said: 'They were righteous proselytes in the beginning.' Why are they excluded? Because they marry illegitimate women but not a brother's widow. When will they be accepted? When they deny Mount Gerizim and confess Jerusalem and the resurrection of the dead. After this, he who robs a Samaritan is like one who robs an Israelite."
If you are interested in more historical information, you can read Josephus. Interesting stuff, but remember it does not have the authority of Scripture. |

As the Scriptures do not give a definitive answer, we cannot. It would be sheer speculation for anyone to answer. |
