Bible Questions?

We are still naming the animals each and every day. It is our only God given talent in this world.

 

I laughed to the point of almost spraying my monitor. Thanks.

 

Come back when you can be serious.

 

There you go trying to chase people away. He seems quite studious to me and somewhat inclined to take himself with a grain of salt. I am charmed.

 

Even though he is noodley, I would like to know why God gave that instruction if you can.

What was the significance of the practice?

Sorry for it not being a mature question.

 

Is it possible to perform than many circumcisions (over three hundred) in just one " self same day?" (?)

His slaves no doubt figured it was just another inhumane torture being thrust upon them but what of his children or wife?

And of course the pounds upon pounds of "loose skin", nothing went to waste back then so was it, just jerky for a couple of weeks or maybe finger warmers for all the slaves?

 

ROFL

We all need something to keep warm, man. I have a couple pairs myself. TOASTY WINTERS HERE I COME! (lol)

But really, can we go back to the questions. You noodlehead

ok, ok, I have a question, but let me formulate it first really well... mento por favor

 

This will be a bit of a loaded question but I think it calls for it. The question focuses on Abram's journey to Egypt from Genesis 12:10-20.

From verses 10 through 13 Abram asks his wife Sarai to make the lie to the Egyptians that she is his sister otherwise he feels that they would kill him and let her live.

Question from the verse: Was he familiar with these people? If he was not familiar, then how would he know that they would do such a thing? Did God instruct him or did he just follow an instinct that he had? From verses 14-15 we see that part of Abram's insight was correct. The Egyptians and the Pharaoh were all taken by Sarai's beauty and Abram was treated well because of her and received many 'gifts' (verse 16).

Would the situation have occurred as it did in verse 16 if the Pharaoh had known Sarai was already married?

Later on the Pharaoh takes Sarai to be his wife, not knowing she was married, but then is cursed for doing so (Verse 17).

My main question that I am asking is this:

"Are we guilty of sins that we have yet to commit?" and "Are we guilty of sins that we do not know of? (The pharaoh not knowing Sarai was married and married her because of it due to a lie)."

If God already knew what the Pharaoh would have done, and cursed him for it, then doesn't that make a suggestion on our free will? How can we know for sure if the Pharaoh would have stolen Abram's wife if he had not lied?

From verse 19, the Pharaoh seems rightly upset that he was lied to because it ended up hurting him. From verse 18, it seems that Pharaoh understood what had happened to him and why, which is why he went to Abram and said what he said in verse 19.

Why was Pharaoh guilty if he was misguided? Also, was God being harsh to Pharaoh in order to free Abram and his wife Sarai? Could that suggest that God did not actually harm Pharaoh because of what he did but actually did it to help them escape? In other words, Abram's misjudgment got him into trouble because he is only human, so God nudges things a bit to protect Abram, whom he felt was important to His plan?

 

It's ridicules isn't it?

 

is it true that Abramham slept with his servant? for have a child since his wife couldnt?

 

If I remember correctly, he did not believe that God would provide him a son through Sarah, hence the birth of Ishmael.

 

Yes, he did not have faith that Sarah could bare a child so he slept with Hagar, their servant and bore Ishmael. Muslims believe Ishmael to be the father of the Arab people, and bares a lot of importance in Islam.

This page has a lot more info.

 

If you consider this to be serious:
What did Abraham do with all the extra foreskins?
Penises are supremely important to God. And he can't stand foreskins.
His slaves no doubt figured it was just another inhumane torture being thrust upon them but what of his children or wife?
And of course the pounds upon pounds of "loose skin", nothing went to waste back then so was it, just jerky for a couple of weeks or maybe finger warmers for all the slaves?
Then you answer it.

 

Yes you are ridiculous but I wasn't going to say anything.

 

Now Sar′ai, A′bram’s wife, had borne him no children; but she had an Egyptian maidservant and her name was Ha′gar. Hence Sar′ai said to A′bram: “Please now! Jehovah has shut me off from bearing children. Please, have relations with my maidservant. Perhaps I may get children from her.” So A′bram listened to the voice of Sar′ai. Then Sar′ai, A′bram’s wife, took Ha′gar, her Egyptian maidservant, at the end of ten years of A′bram’s dwelling in the land of Ca′naan, and gave her to A′bram her husband as his wife. Accordingly he had relations with Ha′gar, and she became pregnant. . . .(Genesis 16:1-4)

 

Hey, the story is from your bible so why am I labeled as ridicules?

It would seem as though you would be used to ignorant clap trap like the aforementioned story by now, after all the bible is full of them...

 

More evidence in favor of gods disdain of foreskins. (hey don't blame me it's your bible!)

(4:26) "A bloody husband art thou to me."

God decides to kill Moses because his son had not yet been circumcised. Luckily for Moses, his Egyptian wife Zipporah "took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. So he [God] let him go."

Exodus

4:24 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.

4:25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.

More penis envy...
Deuteronomy

23:1 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

The men who wrote the bible are obsessed with dicks, why is that so?

 

From the perspective of why is this act important, it would seem that yes indeed dicks, their adornment or lack of, are a major issue. However what this whole scenario depicts is the contention for authority. Who has the right to speak, who belongs,etc. Dicks as such do not matter, They are a symbol representing proper authority. In a sense, penis envy would be a proper description.

 

"Dicks are a symbol representing authority."?

:rofl:
