81 | What about the Jabez Prayer? | 1 Chronicles | Makarios | 8343 | ||
Dear Richard Koh, what about the Jabez Prayer? | ||||||
82 | David's son named after the prophet? | 1 Chr 14:4 | Makarios | 5584 | ||
In 1 Chronicles 14:3-7, we see a listing of the children of King David. Among those is one named Nathan. Did David name his son Nathan after Nathan the prophet? Nathan the prophet is the one who revealed to him his sin with Bathsheba and was a primary source of counselling for King David. | ||||||
83 | Is this a contradiction? | 1 Chr 21:1 | Makarios | 5586 | ||
In one verse we are told that Satan incited David to take a census of Israel (1 Chronicles 21:1). In another verse we are told that the Lord incited David to take this census (2 Samuel 24:1). Which account are we to believe? | ||||||
84 | Which mountain or the same mountain? | 2 Chr 3:1 | Makarios | 5592 | ||
In 2 Chronicles 3:1, is this the same Mount Moriah in Gen. 22:2,14 where Abraham was commanded to offer Isaac as a sacrifice? Also, I find it interesting to note that David wept on the Mount of Olives (2 Sam. 15:30), the same place where Christ dwelt (Matt. 5) and where Gethsemane is located (Mark 14:32). | ||||||
85 | Will the Lord let us "catch" Him? | 2 Chr 15:15 | Makarios | 27131 | ||
Is it possible for us today to "find" or to "catch" the Lord? And if we seek the Lord and follow after Him with all our might (2 Chr. 15:13), will He let us "find" Him? It is the phrase "sought Him earnestly, and He let them find Him" that I would like a discussion on. Thank you! | ||||||
86 | Ahaziah a ruler at 22 or 42? | 2 Chr 22:2 | Makarios | 9175 | ||
Was Ahaziah 22 years old when he began to reign (as stated in 2 Kings 8:26) or 42 years old (as stated in 2 Chron 22:2 in the KJV, NKJV, Amplified, American Standard Version (1901), RSV, God's Word and NRSV)? Why only do the NASB, NIV, NCV, NLT and Young's Literal Translation only have this stated correctly? |

87 | Did Cyrus know the prophecy? | Ezra | Makarios | 10762 | ||
Realizing the power Daniel had in the government, and his knowledge of the prophecy of Isaiah 44:26-28, 45:1,13; do you think Cyrus could have been informed about the prophesy-even his name being mentioned 150 years before? | ||||||
88 | King Cyrus' spirit 'stirred'? | Ezra | Makarios | 10764 | ||
In what way did the Lord 'stir up the spirit' of King Cyrus in Ezra 1:1? Was this the working of the Holy Spirit? | ||||||
89 | 666 Adonikamim or 667? | Ezra 2:13 | Makarios | 9172 | ||
Should we believe Ezra who says there were 666 Adonikamim or Nehemiah when he says there were 667? (Neh. 7:18) Or is it possible both were right? How? | ||||||
90 | What does it mean to tear one's clothes? | Ezra 9:3 | Makarios | 5971 | ||
In Ezra 9:3, Ezra tears his clothes- his garment and his robe- and even pulls some hair from his own head and beard. This is a common way to express grief, distress, or humiliation (v.5). Tearing of one's clothes can also be found in Gen. 37:29,34; Josh. 7:6; Judges 11:35; 2 Sam. 13:19; 2 Chr. 34:27; Esth. 4:1; Job 1:20; Isaiah 36:22; Jer. 41:5; and Matt. 26:65. When Ezra says that he pulled some hair away from his own head and beard, it is unique in the Bible where a person would do this. We read about the shaving of one's head or beard (Job 1:20, Jer. 41:5, 47:5, Ezek. 7:18, Amos 8:10). When Nehemiah was confronted with the same problem of intermarriage, he puled out the hair of the offending parties (Neh. 13:25) instead of his own. What is the full significance of the 'tearing' of one's clothes or robes and why? | ||||||
91 | Why was Nehemiah afraid? | Nehemiah | Makarios | 10767 | ||
In Nehemiah 2:2, was Nehemiah afraid because of the fact that King Artaxerxes saw him "downcast" (1:4) or fear from what the King's response would be of his request (2:5)? | ||||||
92 | Role of fasting in a Christian's walk? | Neh 1:4 | Makarios | 24886 | ||
What is the spiritual significance of fasting? How often do Christians fast? What role does fasting play in a Christian's spiritual walk? | ||||||
93 | Queen Vashti/women despising husbands | Esth 1:17 | Makarios | 98335 | ||
Greetings all, We know from reading the first 16 verses of this book that Queen Vashti refused to come at the King's command (v.12). How is it that the "deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes," ?? |

95 | Dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible? | Job 3:8 | Makarios | 3774 | ||
I have undergone a study on the Dinosaurs. What does the Bible say about them? First, I want to make clear that I believe that the earth is only thousands of years old, not millions or billions. Second, I believe that God created the earth in six 24-hour days (Exodus 20:11). I don't expect you all to agree with me, and I would appreciate you tellng me if you feel differently about anything that I have come up with. Genesis 1:21-25 tells us that God created the animals (including the Dinosaurs) and humankind on the sixth day. Man was given the task to name these animals but Adam used names like 'behemoth' and 'leviathan'. It is conceivable that man and dinosaur lived on the earth together right up to and after the great worldwide flood. And Noah might have included a few smaller, younger representatives of the dinosaurs in his Ark. But many other kinds of plants and animals were lost forever (Genesis 6:17). It is interesting to note that animals began to fear men only after the flood (Genesis 9:2-3).. However, I am convinced that there was a drop in temperature (Job 37:6-10, 38:22,29) in the earth after the flood, which explains the existence of Antarctica, the Glaciers and the Polar icecaps, (which was God's way of dealing with the surplus of water that sprang forth in Genesis 7:11) and this temperature change may have contributed to the dinosaurs' disappearance upon the earth. But they at least were around by the time of Job, and the people of Job's time knew about dinosaurs since dinosaurs are discribed in detail in Job 40:15 to 41:34. I do not believe that birds are direct descendants of dinosaurs, since the Bible speaks of the migration of the hawk (Job 39:26), the dove, stork, thrush and swift (Jeremiah 8:7).. In other words, birds flew across the earth from the beginning of time and they are not the end result of any kind of evolution. Also, Genesis 1:29-30 declares that all animals and people began as plant eaters and the world was entirely vegetarian at the beginning. But eventually animals became carnivorous and people ate meat only until after the flood (Genesis 9:3). It is interesting to note that even though animals did become carnivorous, they will return to a nonagressive nature (Isaiah 11:6-7). So will we become vegetarians in the future? :) So did the dinosaurs breathe fire? Job 41 leads me to believe that this may have been likely, which would explain the source of "Fire Breathing Dragons" stories. What about the Loch Ness monster? Maybe. There are many underwater caverns that have not been explored on this earth. I'm not ruling out the possibility that all sea dwelling dinosaurs are extinct. But I am strictly against evolution of any kind, since Psalm 94:9 clearly states that God formed the ears and the eyes. Romans 1:20 is interesting in this light- that we are without excuse in wake of God's awesome creation. Another water/fire parallel here, to reflect back on the worldwide flood, is the second and final judgment of the future in which the heavens and the earth will be cleansed by fire! (2 Peter 3:10-12). I believe that the world is a lot younger than scientists think and that man and dinosaurs co-existed at some point. I am still studying continental drift and things of that nature.. I hope you enjoyed the results of my study, and I wanted to share this with you to provide a NON-evolution way of looking at Dinosaurs. |

99 | Lifting up of hands? | Ps 63:4 | Makarios | 13926 | ||
What is the significance of "lifting up of hands" in worship? Lifting up of one's hands in worship can be found in Psalm 28:2; 63:4; 119:48; 134:2; Lamentations 2:19; 3:41; and Hebrews 12:12.. Does the "lifting up of hands" have a special meaning? | ||||||
100 | Prophecy of city of Tyre fulfilled? | Ps 87:4 | Makarios | 6893 | ||
Considering the history of the city of Tyre (Ezek. 27-29), would Psalm 87:4 be a prophecy that was fulfilled when a Christian church was built on the site of the Melkharth temple? Some of Tyre's citizens came to hear the preaching of Jesus (Mark 3:8), and Christ visited the neighborhood (Mark 7:24-31) getting a favorable reception (Luke 10:13). Tyre was visited by Paul (Acts 12:20, 21:3-7). So would the church in Tyre be a fullfillment of Psalm 87:4 even though Tyre is prophecied against in Isaiah 23:1-18? | ||||||
