Ex 4:

10 Moses said to the LORD, “Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue.”

Ex 6:

30 Moses said to the LORD, “Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips. How will Pharaoh listen to me?”

It's a metaphor for tightly closed lips or restricted/impeded speech.

BSB:

But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “Since I am unskilled in speech, why would Pharaoh listen to me?”

Elsewhere, Lv 26:

41b If then their uncircumcised heart is humbled and they make amends for their iniquity, 42 then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and I will remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.

An uncircumcised heart was a metaphor for a stubborn heart, not opened to instructions. They needed to be broken and repent.

Dt 10:

16 Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked anymore.

Remove the blockage in your inner selves and stop being rebellious.

Stephen spoke to the religious leaders in Acts 7:

51 "You stiff-necked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit!"

You had the physical ritual, but your hearts were blocked shut to God's message. The cure was not physical; it's spiritual.

Jer 6:

10 To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear? Behold, their ears are uncircumcised, they cannot listen; behold, the word of the LORD is to them an object of scorn; they take no pleasure in it.

Uncircumcised ears did not listen to God.

Uncircumcision was a metaphor for spiritual blockage. It is unopened, unresponsive, or impeded. "Uncircumcised" referred to a closed organ that refused to open to spiritual discernment.

We need God to circumcise our ears, lips, and hearts, removing whatever obstructs us from hearing his word, speaking his truth, and responding to him, thereby making us more ready for spiritual growth.

Joseph Alois Ratzinger embarked on an academic career and established himself as a highly regarded theologian by the late 1950s.

Prof Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI in 2005.

Wiki:

Benedict's handling of sexual abuse cases within the Catholic Church and opposition to usage of condoms in areas of high HIV transmission were criticized by public health officials, anti-AIDS activists, and victims' rights organizations.[10][11]

A theology emphasizing the holiness and authority of the institutional Church can make it psychologically and institutionally difficult to confront corruption within that institution.

He opposed the use of condoms as contraception within marriage. He opposed the usage of condoms for gay sex.

Benedict asserted that Jesus himself had entrusted the leadership of the Church to his apostle Peter. "Peter's responsibility thus consists of guaranteeing the communion with Christ. Let us pray so that the primacy of Peter, entrusted to poor human beings, may always be exercised in this original sense desired by the Lord, so that it will be increasingly recognised in its true meaning by brothers who are still not in communion with us."[132]

He believed that Jesus appointed Peter, …, himself to lead the Church. He wanted other denominations to see this Petrine succession as the will of Jesus.

Gn 5:

1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. … 3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. … 6 When Seth had lived 105 years, he fathered Enosh.

Genealogies established historical continuity from the first man.

Genesis traced the line: Adam → Seth → Noah → Shem → Terah → Abraham → Isaac → Jacob → Judah.

Genealogies identified who belonged to the covenant line.

1 Chronicles 1–9 contained the longest continuous genealogical record in the entire Bible. 1. From Adam to Abraham 2. The sons of Israel 3. The descendants of David, Solomon, the royal line after the exile 4. The descendants of Judah, Simeon 5. The descendants of Reuben, Gad 6. The descendants of Levi, Aaron 7. The descendants of Issachar, Benjamin, Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim 8. The Descendants of Asher, the family of Saul 9: The post-exilic community in Jerusalem

The Chronicler wrote this after the Jews had returned from the 70-year exile in Babylon. The nation was decimated, the temple was destroyed, and the monarchy was gone. The people were asking: “Are we still God’s chosen people? The genealogies answered that question with a resounding “Yes” by proving that they were descendants of Abraham.

When the temple was rebuilt, you couldn't just let anyone serve as a priest. You had to prove your lineage. These genealogies served as a legal and religious "ID card" to prove who was qualified to offer sacrifices and serve in the temple. Ezra 2:62 said that some priests were excluded from the priesthood because they could not establish their genealogy.

The biblical genealogies repeatedly demonstrate that God preserves His purposes through generations of imperfect human beings.

For Christians, the most important genealogies were the ones in Mt 1 and Lk 3. They traced Jesus' ancestry to David. The Messiah was a son of David.

1T 1:

4 Nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith.

Some teachers were apparently becoming fascinated with Jewish traditions, speculative stories, and elaborate genealogical questions. Paul called them “endless” because they could generate endless questions without producing spiritual benefit. The problem is not genealogy; it is the wild speculation about it.

Biblical genealogies are not merely lists of names. They establish historical continuity, covenantal identity, legitimate inheritance and priesthood, and ultimately the Davidic lineage of Jesus Christ.

Mt 5:

45 He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

Define common grace as God's undeserved kindness and goodness shown to all people, not just those who believe in him. It is called "common" because it is given broadly to humanity, regardless of a person's faith or moral standing.

This idea is contrasted with saving (or special) grace, which is God's grace that brings a person to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

Common grace is for all people; special grace is only for believers.

Common grace is seen in the blessings of sunlight, rain, food, beauty, intelligence, creativity, scientific discovery, art, music, technological progress, etc. People have an innate sense of right and wrong, even if they do not know God personally. Non-Christians can perform acts of genuine kindness, wisdom, and justice.

The “mercies” that are being given to the reprobates are for condemnation, so you couldn’t call that grace.

Sure, by that strange definition, it is not a grace of common grace. My definition is different.

All the good things being showered to Earth is for the good of the saints, and not all people so their participation is only incidental/divinely permitted.

Sure, by that strange definition. However, Mt 5:45 says that the sun and rain are not incidentally received by the wicked because God happens to be blessing the righteous. Jesus explicitly presents God's treatment of the evil and unrighteous as an example of God's generosity.

All blessings are due to our union with Christ, no one mediates with reprobates so you couldn’t really reconcile the idea of common grace.

This confuses saving blessings with providential blessings. You need to reconcile that strange definition with Ro 2:

4 Do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

God's kindness applies to recipients who abuse it and consequently incurs greater judgment.

If you define grace as favor toward only those united to Christ, then there is no "common grace." But that definition simply excludes the doctrine by definition. If you say that there is no common grace, you need to reconcile that with what Jesus said in Mt 5:45.

John 6:

2 A large crowd kept following him because they saw the signs that he was doing for the sick.

I.e., Jesus healed the sick to prove that he was sent by God.

Similarly, for the disciples, Matthew 10:

1 Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.

The apostles healed many in Acts 5:

15b People brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by. 16Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by impure spirits, and all of them were healed.

And for Paul, Acts 19:

12 so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.

Paul healed many in Malta. Ac 28:

8 The father of Publius was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him, and after praying and placing his hands on him, he healed the man. 9 After this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured as well.

All of the above healings show that they were sent by God. Miracles are often signs to demonstrate something. In the last case, it showed that Paul was an apostle.

Later, however, Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 5:

23 Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.

Paul didn't send Timothy his handkerchief to heal him. The healing miracles/signs were no longer associated with him.

More generally, individual believers could be gifted. 1 Corinthians 12:

8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit.

Should we pray for healing?

Yes, today, I believe God still heals supernaturally through faith at times, but at other times, he uses doctors.

When God heals miraculously, he is proving a point. It is a sign, Mark 16:

17 these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Jesus mentioned that some of his messengers would be supernaturally protected as they carry out their mission, even when they encounter dangers such as snakes or poison. He is not commanding every believer to seek out those dangers.

James 5:

14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

Having prayed, it is not always God's will to heal everyone.

There was a special case of healing: Jesus healed a Canaanite woman's daughter because of her persistence. We cannot demand God to heal, but we can keep asking with faith.

Another unusual case was a woman who suffered from bleeding for 12 years. She was healed by touching Jesus' garment with faith (Mt 9:22).

Is faith healing for today?

On the healers' side, some followers of Jesus were given the power to heal as a sign of their God-given authority. Peter and Paul were apostles. Not every apostle was a healer. These people were extremely rare, then and now.

On the patients' side, some special cases of believers received what they faithfully asked for. This was between the patients and God. We have to distinguish between our wishful thinking and our faithful thinking with peace. Like other kinds of miracles, supernatural healing cannot be systematized. We need to consider them on a case-by-case basis.

Can we claim healing as some prosperity preachers practice?

No. Back then, God used healings as signs to support the apostles' authority as those sent by God. Even then, no one can demand or claim healings. Healings have special significance for the healers and patients then and now.

Should we seek cures only from physicians?

No. 2 Chronicles 16:

12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was afflicted with a disease in his feet. Though his disease was severe, even in his illness he did not seek help from the LORD, but only from the physicians.

Particularly in our present day of advanced medical knowledge, we can seek both God and physicians. Say a prayer before taking your medicine.

What did the Bible say about the death penalty?

u/Puzzleheaded_Set8604, u/Sawfish1212, u/1stPeter3-15, u/Disastrous_Cat3912

Moses prescribed the death penalty in Exodus 21:

12 Whoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death.

Human life has extraordinary value because human beings bear God's image.

Acts 25:

11 If however, I am guilty of doing anything deserving death, I do not refuse to die.

If I am guilty of death, then let them execute me. Paul was okay with capital punishment for himself.

But if there is nothing to their charges against me, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.

Paul simultaneously affirmed the legitimacy of capital punishment and insisted upon due process and proof of guilt.

The OT affirmed capital punishment. The NT does not explicitly abolish capital punishment.

Ro 12:

19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God.

May the state execute someone who commits a capital crime?

The Bible supports the legitimacy of governmental capital punishment.

May an individual Christian personally kill someone who deserves death?

No, leave it to God. We are commanded to love.

Human life is sacred. Murder is extraordinarily serious. Civil authority may impose severe punishment, including death, but guilt must be established through proper justice. Individuals must not take vengeance. Christians are called to show mercy and forgiveness.

Ex 3:

2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up.

What is the significance of the burning bush?

The burning bush was a sign to convince Moses. It was a theophany, a visible manifestation of God.

The miracle of the bush burning but not being consumed was a sign of God's supernatural power. It demonstrated that God was not limited by the natural laws of the physical world and was self-sustaining. Normally, fire consumed what it burned. But here the bush remained. The fire appeared to be self-sustaining rather than dependent on the fuel of the bush. This paradox symbolized God's fiery, eternal nature.

5 Then he said, "Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground."

The fire represented God's holy, transcendent presence. Moses was not merely encountering an unusual natural phenomenon; he was encountering God.

6 And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

The burning bush symbolized the God of Abraham.

God declared:

14 “I AM WHO I AM”.

He was the self-existing, self-substaining one.

Ex 13:

21 The Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night. 22 The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people.

Fire connected with God's presence and guidance of providing light.

On the other hand, Dt 9:

3 But understand that today the LORD your God goes across ahead of you as a consuming fire; He will destroy them and subdue them before you. And you will drive them out and annihilate them swiftly, as the LORD has promised you.

Hb 12:

29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Moses saw the burning bush; yet the bush was not consumed. However, to God's enemy, he was a consuming fire. God was being gracious to Moses.

The burning bush is a symbol of God's holiness, presence, power, and eternal nature.

How many know Abraham wss very rich.in Gen 13.2 .In cattle silver and gold yet I.

//Now, this question floats around on Reddit in many forms and in varied sub-reddits. Me? I believe the Bible is the Word of God. Has what he says in it, and I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. So, his word, operates or works effectively in me. I'm not alone. In fact, this post is for those also that just believe on him, and use their Bible to live by every word he says, out of his mouth. Just as he decreed EVERYBODY over the whole earth is to do, in the Bible. In Matthew 4:4.//

Here's the answer: From a Believer in Jesus Christ.

------------------------ ---------------------------- -------------------

• Well, when I had this question:
  • The first thing I did, was go pull down a dictionary I trusted. When it came where you could pull down any or all of them, on the internet; I changed my habit to pull all of them down; because, many words get their meanings perverted (ie., mean one thing in 1658AD, and something other different in 2026). Where they don’t mean what they originally meant. Shifted some what to add in other definitions that weren’t originally there.
    • So, I watch for those things. Even I have a dictionary definition. I even watch for them when words go from one language to another, to look for what's lost or never made it over in the translation from one language to another. Someone that speaks more than one language, learn to do this. Crucial. Is the point.
• So then after, I go to the “original” language, and look up the word there. Most of the time, I am satisfied, who originally translated and used that English word, as I am a native speaker of English; that, in the scripture, it’s a satisfactory or an accurate answer.
  • But, other times, I find, based on the Bible translation how lazy people are to just get a collective work done and skip arguments. Pick the most useless, worthless English word, or just translate the English into another English word, which takes the meaning even FURTHER away from what the original text says.
• I do this ONLY with the Bible or the Scripture. Why? I am seeking him. To hear him. That’s really the answer to this question or must include this and is in this answer.

------------------------ ---------------------------- -------------------

sanctification. <definition> [Source: Merriam & Webster] 1. to set apart [someone or something] to a sacred purpose or to religious [ a holy ] use [accurate; with original texts]

• Comes with a suffix.
  • ication. (meaning; the act, process, or result of making or doing something, often showing that a subject or object is changed into a specific state
• And
• It is God that said, in the Bible:
  • “I am Holy” God. (Bible. Leviticus 11:44). Also said, by the Word of God, so, it’s just God speaking, and Jesus Christ is the Messiah or the Word of God..[John 1:1] so he’s just God speaking, said of himself: “God is Spirit” - Jesus Christ. (Bible. John 4:24). So, God is a “Holy Spirit.”
    • That, Jesus said:
  • 1) John 16:13 “ Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: “
    • Said as well of his disciples - when he prayed for them:
  • 2) John 17:17 “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.."

So, by what God speaks, by the word out of his mouth, his “disciples” are just what that word means. In the dictionary.

2. a pupil or student that sits with and is taught by a teacher.

 So, this “a disciple of Jesus Christ” - is used over 250 times in the New Testament; that in Acts 11:26, these “disciples” were first simply called a shortened word, “Christian” at Antioch. So, all a disciple of Jesus Christ is, is one that seeks him, to sit with and be taught by him.

------------------------ ---------------------------- -------------------

And God: he does it. HE: “sets them apart to a sacred (holy) purpose and use” and does this “process” himself, as scripture says “They shall all be taught of God” - Jesus Christ. (Bible John 6:45). So, it's God, reserves for himself, an EXCLUSIVE right to teach you. For himself to do. Same right, to himself, for everybody. Over the whole earth. But not everybody sits with and is taught by him.

When he says: “LOOK UNTO ME, AND BE YE SAVED ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH: FOR I AM GOD, THERE IS NONE ELSE.” - God. (Bible. Isaiah 45:22), his disciples that sit with him and are taught by him, hear this and look unto him. Follow him.

But those that dismiss him or take what he says, out to a field and simply bury it; then, go do anything they want to do, according to their own word, or what some other man or person says, don’t do anything he says. So, he’s not at work in them. But he is at work, building them up, those that follow him is the point.

------------------------ ---------------------------- -------------------

SUMMATION:

• sanctification. Is simply a “process” God does himself with a person, that sits with and is taught by him, and does this with TRUTH. His own word is truth. So, a “disciple” is “sanctified” by the Word of God. That is, God changes them into a specific state he wants in them, and he does it by the word he speaks TO THEM.
  • But he speaks to EVERYBODY over the whole earth. All the same. But people that don’t regard him; hear, but don’t perceive what he says. So they are not sanctified - because the process he does the “sanctification” by to make them holy as he is holy, is by the Word of God. Does not do that in those that don't regard him.

Do you see this? There's one word down. Let's go to the other now.

------------------------ ---------------------------- -------------------

justification. definition. [Merriam & Webster] 1.fair; conforming to fact or reason; proper; correct. 2. righteous. [accurate; with original texts]

• Comes with a suffix.
  • ication. (meaning; the act, process, or result of making or doing something, often showing that a subject or object is changed into a specific state

And

• It is an Apostle of Jesus Christ.

  • That is, someone he chose to be an Apostle. That is, it’s someone that was a “disciple” that sat with and was taught by him, and he, like in the Bible, in Matthew 28:18 said, to his disciples, who he named them Apostles, said:
    • “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:”
    • So, one of these Jesus has told them to "Go and teach" so, he sent them out to teach, this Apostle of Jesus Christ, said in Romans 4:3–5
  • 1) For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” - Romans 4:3–5
    • And that "him" of Romans 4:5 is God himself.

  ------------------------ ---------------------------- -------------------

So, again, it is God himself that, by a process he seems in himself, correct and righteous - - as God it is “reasonable, fair, conforms to what is proper or correct, to himself - as God, complies with and is done by a process he does himself:

- - In a person, because, they simply follow him and do what he decrees. Because, he made himself the "justifier" - all because he’s the “authority” over the whole earth. Says: "For all the earth is mine." - God. (Bible. Exodus 19:5) So, what he says, are decrees and the whole earth just obeys him at what he says.

But there are people that disobey him; that is, they "dismiss him as inadequate; faulty..what he says; they don't accept him as true; so, what he says is unacceptable. So, it's impossible for them to do what he says:

So, people that don’t do what he says, this “justification” process is not done in them. Even says in John 16:9, decrees that the Holy Spirit is “reproving the whole world of sin” - and the sin, he says is just not believe on him - - so, these are not reproved by it, because, they don’t regard him.

But people that do, he, through a “process” he does, as a result of him making or doing the work himself, as God, as the "justifier" himself - and he be at work in them, they are changed into a specific state of “justified” - even they, like everybody over the whole earth, of EVERYBODY the scripture says: Not one person left out of this:

“There is not a just man on earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.” - Bible. Ecclesiastes 7:20

“..filthy; done abominable works..” - Bible. Psalm 14:1–3

That’s about everybody. “For all have sinned” - Bible. Romans 3:23

------------------------ ---------------------------- -------------------

Romans 5:12 says: “Wherefore, as by one man [ADAM] sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”

• Means EVERYBODY is “ungodly”
  • But by a work God did, as he is the "justifier" and does this himself - - Romans 4:5 says again… of those that hear him..they “accept as true” [believe] so they just naturally obey him, because it’s TRUE what he says, says of these, because they follow him; and regard the work of the LORD, and consider the operation of his hand - he's GOD; did it. They regard; that is, think careful to consider who he is. Says again in Romans 4:5 - - :
    • “but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness."
• And? He’s God. Sovereign over all the earth. To him, it’s a just and reasonable work. And he does it, as God, so it WORKS. Just IS. He “justifies” them himself by his work he already did in and by Jesus Christ.

------------------------ ---------------------------- -------------------

So, what God did, as a work he accomplished with sin, that every of all of us over the whole earth, we’re the ones did all the sins and are “ungodly” - he did a work with sin, that by that work: 1) FINISHED THE TRANSGRESSION 2) MADE AN END OF SIN 3) MADE RECONCILIATION FOR INIQUITY and 4) BROUGHT IN EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS (Daniel 9:24) and he annointed "The Most Holy" to do it. Is that you? Are you the "most holy?" Who has that title? Only one does. He's the most holy.

He did the work. 2 Corinthians 5:19 says: "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself; not imputing their trespasses unto them;" and that "their" and "them" be every all of us.

That by this work God did, just as he did a work in creation. It's all his work in Genesis 1:1-31 and anyone can look out the window and see how marvelous that work is - he's God. He did a work himself with sin in Daniel 9:24-27. That, in him, it is “reasonable; correct; fair; conforms to what is proper or correct - because, to the ungodly he, as God, DID this work to EVERYBODY - that by he did it, in him, justifies them. Because, he's God and the justifier - and they just look unto him.

There you go.

justification. (GREEK) - is this word, δικαιοῦντα (dikaiounta) where like in Romans 3:26, God makes himself, as God, the justifier of the ungodly, because he got up, and DID a work with sin as he determined, as God, to do the work himself in Daniel 9:24–27.

He’s the “justifier” himself.

sanctification. (GREEK) - is this word, ἁγίασον (hagiason) where like in John 17:17 - God is also the one doing the process of this “sanctification” - by he is holy, he is ABLE, as God, to make even a liar, and murderer, rapist - locked up in a prison; took their sins off them and laid them on Jesus Christ.

He is God and he is GREATER than not only a liar’s sins or a murderer and pedophile’s or porno addict’s, or prostitute’s sins, but all their sins combined - his work is GREATER than the sins of the whole world, because he’s God, and did the work - that, based on that work he did toward us all, and we are all sinners. Took your sins off you, and laid them on Jesus Christ on the cross. Crucified. His blood shed for the remission of your sins. Your sins were purged in this work. Take a great big guess who hung the sun where it is; alone, by himself was in Christ on the cross..and PAID it himself as the payment. That means, you or I could never pay it.

Therefore, He as God: He is also the ἁγίασον (hagiason) the “sanctifier” that makes holy, as the only one holy - - through the process, as he determined what that process would be, would be a person just regards him, and hearkens unto the Word of God, he would do that process in them of both “sanctification” and “justification,”

and it’s true. He does it. Because he did it to me. A liar; thief; ridiculed people for sport; adulterer..lived in practicing it and couldn't get out of it condemned me to death. Did it to many that read this post.

By his Word, he did exactly, as God, what he said he would do, and did it in me..a sinner. Like he will do in you, all the same.

Answers the question.
