Coptic21]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/2807/more-exodus-problems-for-me Sat, 26 Nov 2005 23:58:21 +0000 mikeforjesus 2807@/community/discussions Exodus 21
7 “And if a man sells his daughter to be a female slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. 8 If she does not please her master, who has betrothed her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.



and this

9 And if he has betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her according to the custom of daughters.


And this

20 “And if a man beats his male or female servant with a rod, so that he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished. 21 Notwithstanding, if he remains alive a day or two, he shall not be punished; for he is his property.

punished with death? and I dont understand verse 21 I think.. if who remains alive? the master or the servant? and why is the person not punished (I think its the master?) just explain both these verses in general if you can.

And this

22 “If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman’s husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. 23 But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26 “If a man strikes the eye of his male or female servant, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for the sake of his eye. 27 And if he knocks out the tooth of his male or female servant, he shall let him go free for the sake of his tooth.

Is that enough to just let him go free? he has no eye now I think? and if the baby has no eye , will they take out this persons eye who was the cause of it?


And this

28 “If an ox gores a man or a woman to death, then the ox shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be acquitted. 29 But if the ox tended to thrust with its horn in times past, and it has been made known to his owner, and he has not kept it confined, so that it has killed a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned and its owner also shall be put to death. 30 If there is imposed on him a sum of money, then he shall pay to redeem his life, whatever is imposed on him. 31 Whether it has gored a son or gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him. 32 If the ox gores a male or female servant, he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

Is the servants life worth less then?

33 “And if a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls in it, 34 the owner of the pit shall make it good; he shall give money to their owner, but the dead animal shall be his.

Doesnt that mean you can get away with killing someone elses animal if you have the money to pay for it? maybe the owner loves the animal more than any amount of money..

I think im just curious.. but it might help me...

Also how much angels do you think are in a legion if that makes sense.. 6000? 10,000? , something else?

If this isnt the right forum for this topic someone can put it in another forum?

I ask this question I think because thats how I am... maybe im lazy but even still would it be right to want to show off the whole time?

Or is competition sometimes good? but I think it would lead to pride and possibly anger?

Matthew 10:34-42
"Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35"For I have come to 'set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law'; 36"and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household.' 37"He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39"He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it. ..."

In particular I dont get the sword part,...

So how should we take this verse?
Who shud be considered a fool?
In matthew 5: 22, it says if u says u fool to ur brother, u'll be in danger of hell fire..

so how shud we take this verse, cuz we also must preach to non belivers, but they are not fools either... just in the dark]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/2761/the-blindness-of-the-davinci-code Sat, 12 Nov 2005 12:11:51 +0000 StVictor 2761@/community/discussions
It basically states that Jesus had a daughter named Sarah of Egypt with Mary Magdalene. The book misinterprets the Bible and is mostly based on French myth.

Some people actually believe in this nonsense.

Speak your mind regarding this. ]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/2809/how-do-you-know-if-something-is-new-age-or-not Sun, 27 Nov 2005 23:17:02 +0000 mikeforjesus 2809@/community/discussions http://www.byki.com/byki_descr.shtml]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/164/contradiction-in-corinthians Sat, 17 Apr 2004 08:04:06 +0000 SunBabyNJ 164@/community/discussions
"And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy."
Corinthians 7:13-15

...but then...

"Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has lightness with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?"
2 Corinthians 6:14-16

In the world that we live in now, it's often difficult to segregate and commune with just the "believers." And then reading both verses (and ironically both Corinthians) leaves me a bit confused as to which is the preferred course of action; favored in God's eyes.

..I know "PrincessMary" will have a great answer ;)
