1 | Who is my neighbor? | Luke 10:29 | 00123 | 242044 | ||
Who is my neighbor? | ||||||
2 | Jesus went to God immediately? | John 20:17 | 00123 | 241480 | ||
Your second sentence has no biblical ground but sounds like your own wishes. Speak by the Word plz. Anyhow, are you saying that Jesus went to God Father immediately upon His death? | ||||||
3 | Isn't Paradise the Heaven? | John 20:17 | 00123 | 241474 | ||
In Luke 23:43 Jesus tells a thief on the cross that they would be in Paradise on that day. But in this verse Jesus says he has not ascended to Father yet. Then, isn't Paradise the Heaven? Where was Jesus between the death and the resurrection? | ||||||
4 | Vessels to honor or dishonor | 2 Tim 2:20 | 00123 | 241389 | ||
Which one is this verse meaning: (1) only gold and silver vessels give honor to the Lord as they are cleansed ones and others are not or (2) any type of vessels can if it cleanses itself? | ||||||
5 | Timothy died at age 80 in 97 AD? | 2 Tim 2:22 | 00123 | 241351 | ||
EdB, Thanks for your reply, which is kind very contradictory to our usual Sunday school teaching in which Timothy is depicted as a boy while Paul as an old man with beard as well as a pastor's sermon, which is not much different from the Sunday school one. By the way, do you know "the" original source of the argument that Timothy was martyred at age 80 in 97 AD? | ||||||
6 | Timothy's age | 2 Tim 2:22 | 00123 | 241340 | ||
Beja, Thanks for your kindness. Let me reiterate the questions, then. Do you (or any other reader) know (1) the year when 2 Timothy was written, (2) the age of Timothy at that time, and (3) whether or not Timothy was like one generation younger than Paul (e.g., Paul calls timothy as my son)? | ||||||
7 | Timothy of age 50 treated as a child | 2 Tim 2:22 | 00123 | 241338 | ||
2 Timothy was written in year 67 and Timothy, born in year 17, was age 50. In the old time, a person of age 50 might have been a grandparent and even today most people of age 50 don't live for youthful lusts. So, why does Paul treat Timothy as an adolescent here and in other verses of the letters to Timothy? | ||||||
8 | Timothy's holy calling | 2 Tim 1:9 | 00123 | 241269 | ||
What is meant by the holy calling in this verse? Is that a calling that we should live a life of consecration or do a special mission given by the Lord? If the latter also makes sense, what was the holy mission for Timothy (and Paul)? Thank you. | ||||||
9 | How many hours did Israelis march? | Josh 6:15 | 00123 | 241053 | ||
How many hours did they march in total on the seventh day? I read somewhere that it took two hours to circle the city of Jericho one time. So, could we guess that Israelis marched 14 hours on that day? | ||||||
10 | Who is "you" in Isa 49:6? | Is 49:6 | 00123 | 240901 | ||
Who is "you" in this verse? Is he Jesus our Lord? | ||||||
11 | If "heaven" is a metaphor | Phil 3:20 | 00123 | 240101 | ||
Thanks, Doc. A followup question, if "heaven" is a metaphor as you said, where are our eternal dwelling PHYSICALLY, which are in "the city that has foundations" (Hebrews 11:9-10) and has "the tree of life" (Revelation 22:1-8)? | ||||||
12 | Our citizenship is in heaven? | Phil 3:20 | 00123 | 240099 | ||
"Our citizenship is in heaven." Two questions: (1) Does it mean we will live ultimately in heaven? (2) Is the heaven the same place where Paul was caught up? (2 Corinthians 12:2) |
||||||
13 | Who is that deceiving spirit? | 2 Chr 18:21 | 00123 | 237711 | ||
Hello everyone! One spirit of the host of heaven volunteers to be a "deceiving" spirit. Who is that spirit? An angel or a devil? If that is the former, does an angel lie? If the latter, does a devil serve God in the heaven with that capacity? In either way, does God lie or allow His servant to lie? Shalom! | ||||||
14 | Definition and examples of good deeds | Titus 2:14 | 00123 | 237486 | ||
Hello brothers and sisters, (1) Would you define "good deeds"? (2) Would you list a few examples of good deeds? |

15 | No marriage b/c we are bride of Jesus? | Mark 12:25 | 00123 | 233060 | ||
Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. Mark 12:25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. Luke 20:35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage. Jesus says that after resurrection, nobody marries. Is that because we, male or female, are the bride of Jesus and all of us already have a husband, Jesus, so it doesn't make sense for us to marry anyone else (of course, including sex with any human)? Relationships with the Lord will replace those with a human spouse. We desire to be resurrected (or raptured), unite with Jesus, reign with Him, and spend eternity with Him, but it appears we are very much ignorant of the life in the Kingdom of God that comes with our resurrection. A major reason might be the Bible is silent about it, but we focus too much on the earthly life issues. Anyhow, it looks very sure that there will be wonders after wonders in the Kingdom of God because the life there is very much different from that now and that we will be so excited and busy to learn about and enjoy every of them. |

16 | Jesus views on the wealthy and the poor | Matt 25:26 | 00123 | 233048 | ||
His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ (Matthew 25:21 ESV) Based on this talent parable by Jesus, can we say the financially rich people are upright (honorable, admirable) and faithful, while the financially poor people are wicked, lazy, and idle? I know that could be too much generalization because in other places of the Bible the rich are condemned (James 1:10, 11, 2:5, 6, 5:1), but the Jesus parable is totally against our current social and political climate that the rich are considered wicked and lazy while the poor, industrious and honest. |

17 | No word like juice at Jesus time? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 233040 | ||
That's quite interesting: wine in "new wine" actually refers to grape juice. Is that because Israelites of Jesus time didn't have the word juice? Did they call everything made of grapes (fermented or not) wine? If so, wine was either alcohol or juice, right? | ||||||
18 | Evengelists, get locals' support. | Luke 22:35 | 00123 | 233024 | ||
Matt 10:10 or a bag for your journey, or even two coats, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worthy of his support. Mark 6:8-9 and He instructed them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a mere staff--no bread, no bag, no money in their belt--but to wear sandals; and He added, "Do not put on two tunics." Jesus' above instructions are not followed closely today because when going on mission trips we normally pay for our entire expenses. Furthermore, we bring gifts to locals and build houses, schools, hospitals, or churches for locals. There is criticism such a practice on evangelism increases locals' dependence on materials rather than the Gospel. In contrast, when Jesus' disciples followed the instructions, they lacked nothing and their missionary work was successful. My question is, Do you think Jesus' way of evangelism is still valid today? Any thoughts, observations, or experiences to share? |

19 | Did Jesus and early church drink wine? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 232988 | ||
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When either a man or a woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD, he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall drink no vinegar made from wine or strong drink and shall not drink any juice of grapes or eat grapes, fresh or dried. All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, not even the seeds or the skins. (Numbers 6:1-4 ESV) Nazirites didn't drink wine at all, which is an example there were people who never drank alcohol in their life. Then, what is the biblical (not customs) basis that we should assume that Jesus, who came on earth with a mission of more importance than that of Nazirite, drank wine and that early church believers drank wine in the communion, when no Bible verse specifically indicated so? |
||||||
20 | What liquid was in the communion cup? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 232983 | ||
I wonder what the early church drank in the communion. I always thought they drank wine, but when I read the Bible, surprisingly, I couldn't see any one verse supporting it. In fact, there was no mention on what liquid was in the cup. So, my question is what they drank in the cup: red wine (alcohol), grape juice (like today in most churches), water, or what? By the way, I couldn't find a verse that Jesus our Lord actually did drink wine. | ||||||
