According to JD Sarna, a day corresponds to one rotation of the earth; and a month is one complete orbit of the earth around the sun. But a week, seven days is an arbitrary division of time, corresponding to nothing in nature. Therefore it is rooted not in the natural, but in the supernatural as it is commanded by Boreh Ketzot HaAretz, Creator of the Ends of the Earth (Is 40:28). So when we worship God every seven days we affirm His existence outside and above nature. [/font] ][/quote] I am going to take exception to this. There are seven visible luminaires that move. 1. Sun - sunday 2. Moon - monday 3. Mars - tuesday 4. Mercury - wednesday 5. Jupiter - thursday 6. Venus - friday 7. Saturn - saturday I don't like the pagan name of the days, they should be numbered as in scripture. Having the seven-day week rooted in the natural does not pose a problem as it complies with: Gen 1:14And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: |

Ex 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:
The problem is how the image is treated not the image itself. God did not command Israel to break one command to fulfil another.
Also see the story of the Brasen Serpent: It was not a problem until it was worshiped, then ultimately destroyed.

Exodus 15:25a And he cried to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a log, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet.
Again God uses what can be explained by a natural phenomenon. A log possibly could filter water and make it drinkable. However to make water drinkable for so many fast enough that they would not die of thirst is a definite miracle. Yet we are free to interpret this as we wish.
* Apostolic references will be given in the darashot Moringa oleifera trees contain chemicals that cause impurities in water to floc(stick) together and settle out. Oh! the leaves are also eatable. I use trees to purify water all the time. First the tree has to be converted to Activated Carbon though. |

[/font] Miriam is the only woman in  named as a prophetess. [/quote] This is true but there are some others named in other scripture: Judges 4:4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. 2 Kings 22:14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her. 2 Chronicles 34:22 And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to that effect. Nehemiah 6:14 My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear. Isaiah 8:3 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz. Luke 2:36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; Revelation 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. |

So were Moses, Miriam and the nation of Israel wrong to sing songs of jubilation about the overthrow of the Egyptians?

A simple humanly example of these manifestations would be"
I am a father.
I am a son.
I am a husband.
I act radically different in each manifestation/role, but I am only ONE person.

Ezekiel 18:23 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord God, and not rather that he should turn from his way שׁוּב מדֶּרֶךְ shûb m’derek and live?
It may be useful to compare/contrast/correlate with:
provers 14:4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Nowhere in scripture does it say “There shall be one law for you, and another for everyone else.” Leviticus 25:41 And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return. 42For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen. 43Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God. 44Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. 45Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. 46And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour. Deuteronomy 7:3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. Deuteronomy 14:21 Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. Deuteronomy 23:19,20 Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury: Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it. 2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? Proverbs 5:15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. 16Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. 17Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee. |

There is however something else we must consider. The Egyptians would have known Yoseph had saved them from a famine, but he also took their lands selling them grain they had produced and gave those lands, along with their own freedoms over to Pharaoh. People tend to remember the injustices done them long after they remember the good. Their stomaches no longer rumbled with hunger, but their lands were still forfeit. So in effect, Yoseph made this easy for Pharaoh to oppress the Hebrews in their midst. Note this does not excuse them, it only informs us of the process.
I don't see this as an injustice. It is completely Biblical to have/hold/own everything in common during times of life threatening circumstances.
Acts 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
Acts 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
The injustice in the case was Pharaoh exempting the priest and later not redistribuition of the remaining land/goods after the life threatening circumstance has passed. This is was the Pilgrims did when they came to America and some of the Amish and Minonites did like wise.

1 Kings 17:6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

[quote author=" alon" source="/post/27308/thread" timestamp="1652983214So To my knowledge Clement the 1st never mentions one singular Bishop of Rome/Pope. Neither of course does the Bible say Peter held that office, nor even mention the existence of that office. In fact, other than church tradition and questionable 'history' there is no record Peter ever went to Rome! [/quote] Timotheus, was the first ordained bishop of the church of the Ephesians. Only seems reasonable that Rome had a bishop also. Not in the since of a Pope though. There were to be bishops/elders in every church not just one. Any church that only has one bishop/elder should ordain another ASAP. Titus 1:5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: |

Phil 1:16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
18What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
Isa 55:11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but sit shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
Assuming the word of God is going out where your brother is at, it will accomplish its' goal. It will cause him to repent or it will condemn him.
When I was a boy I was invited to a "Sunday dinner on the Grounds" at the local Baptist church. I went to fill my stomach with good food. Later I went to that same church to see a girl that I was interested in. These were my first baby steps toward God, later I had a dream, in which two hands (the hands of Jesus) poured water over me, Baptizing me. When I woke up, my bed and I were completely soaked. Yep, it turns out I had wet the bed. The following Sunday, I relayed this to the visiting hippy preacher. He said God was speaking to me and I needed to be Baptized. I was Baptized that spring as soon at the creek water was warm enough for old Pastor Moody to enter the water, without catching his death. I have since continued my walk toward God, with Him correcting my path from time to time.

Gen 9: 3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
What does “Every moving thing that liveth” mean? Do the follow scriptures help show what is and is not included? Fore example in verse 2 there are four groups: beast of the earth, fowl of the air, things that moveth upon the earth and fish. Would it be correct to say “moving things” does not include beast of the earth, fowls of the air, and fish of the sea?
Genesis 9:2 “And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered
Genesis 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Genesis 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Genesis 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Genesis 9:2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
Leviticus 11:46 This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:
Leviticus 11:43 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
Leviticus 11:44 For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Leviticus 11:46 This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:
Leviticus 20:25 Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
