God is a god of LOVE. He does not have to consider us, but he already has and does. He considered us and loves us enough to have died for us, and so we also live lives of mercy and love, an example of the merciful and loving God we serve.

God has triumphed over evil and we serve out of rest. But there is still evil in the world, although by declaring Jesus Christ our savior, we have secured ourselves as sinless children of God. We are supposed to fight evil, we are supposed to defend each other. We are supposed to be waging a war...

Thank you so much!! I love digging into the historical context of such things, but was reading the scripture on my phone app at the time and couldn't find anything about it in the blurbs of my study bible.

"At that time gifts will be brought to the LORD Almighty from a people tall and smooth-skinned, from a people feared far and wide, an aggressive nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers- the gifts will be brought to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the LORD Almighty."

God is also mercy and love. It is this love that draws us to Him. It is this love for which He sent his only son to die for us. He did not want us to suffer in sin. He was willing to sacrifice his son (himself) because He wanted a closer relationship to us, so to describe this merciful and...

How is someone to begin repentance without experiencing God in some way?

Sorry, I feel like this is a kind of minor question - but who are the people being described, are these the Egyptians? And is this a prophecy that was already fulfilled?

So, I was just doing my devotional, and I was thinking about how Jesus paid the price for everyone. He defeated all sin, all death, past, present, future, forever. So, how does that impact the time before? The people who lived before Jesus died were saved in the same way we are, right? It...

Hello! So, in my Leviticus discussion we began to bleed into Numbers, so I thought I'd just make a new thread so I could do some additional discussion without spamming the last one. So, there are a few different passages in Numbers (and Leviticus, and the OT in general) that discuss people...

Worth killing him for though? Once again, I think one of my issues is that I'm not sure how people can be lead to repent with such steep punishments. How is someone ever going to see the error of their ways or trust in God if half of their violations lead to being killed? And by the entire...

Hey guys - this is in Numbers, and so perhaps a tiny bit off the main idea, but follows the same type of discussion we were having here, so I thought I'd just post this additional question here instead of making a new thread. Can someone help me interpret this passage in Numbers? While the...

I do play, actually! As a music tech major, I've had to take three piano classes, but I play outside of school as well, just for fun, mostly simple melodies and chords, just enough to sing to. I've posted youtube videos in the past of my singing and playing piano. ^^; I also play ukulele and...

This is awesome and just what I was looking for! See, that was one of the things I wasn't sure about - Because uncleanness shouldn't be punished on it's own, it's about what you do with it, but that also, as a natural part of life, shouldn't be getting in the way of worshiping God. Thanks for this!

Thank you all so much for your feedback! I'm going to respond to things in order that they were posted, so this post might be a little long, but hopefully it won't come across as disjointed ramblings. SO I understand the idea of being cut off in that way, but as stated prior, we are also told...

Yeah, I agree with that. That's why I need the clarification. I'm sure it's gotta be a misunderstanding on my part, but I don't really know how else to interpret some of this stuff.
