221 | How were clothes washed in Jesus' times? | NT general | azurelaw | 220418 | ||
Dear Bill, I don't mean to be disrespect. However, your question appears to be trivial and most likely to be asked by young teens. May I ask "How old are you?" Shalom Azure P.S. As far as I know, the Bible has not mentioned the way people washed their clothes in Jesus' time. One thing is to be sure that they did not have washing machines :-) |

224 | How do I keep a meak and humble heart? | NT general | azurelaw | 224902 | ||
Dear Patricia, I think the forum is not a suitable place to give you advice or counseling per your situation for the purpose of the Host is to provide a platform for Bible study. However, in concern with your attitude toward scriptures, you should always check what people said if they are align with scriptures - as it is in your case of getting a bible verse (?) on facebook which I don't seem to remember such verse exist. It would be better to ask for citation of book, chapter and verse. Now, back to your case, since you are only telling one side of the story, there is no way that we can make any comments. I think there should be a reason that causes your boss scream at you, anyhow, no one on the forum can be your judge. May I offer the below scripture for your reference and encouragement. I think this should answer your question about being meek and humble. 1 Peter 2:20 Please remember to read the whole chapter 2. Shalom Azure |

226 | What is your view on the Rapture? | NT general | azurelaw | 229374 | ||
Dear Sir, If you want to locate the past discussion on Rapture (I believe this topic has been widely discussed on the forum), you may do a word search by the "Advanced Search Box" on the right hand corner. Since you have already stated your position on the subject, I would consider you are wanting a debate on the forum. However, I am sorry that this is not the designed intent of our gracious Host - The Lockman Foundation, who, provides this platform for the purpose of Bible study instead. Kindly review and get familiar with the TOU before you post. Thank you and Shalom Azure |

231 | Romans 11:35 | Genesis | azurelaw | 191957 | ||
Dear begbie, In the beginning, God created the world. After His creation of man, He rests. We are creatures, even the last be created. We have nothing of our own - but dust. What do we have to repay God? Shalom Azure |
||||||
232 | Romans 11:35 | Genesis | azurelaw | 191964 | ||
Sorry begbie, I think my previous answer could be missing the point. My appology. Let my refine my answer and hope it helps. It is a "fact" that we are unable to repay (this supplemented by my previous post) God rather than a necessity. If we deem that we have the ability (even the slightest) to repay God, sinful men as we are, we will not humble ourselves in front of our God for we could count on our so-call good work. Ephesian 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may BOAST. Shalom Azure |

233 | What is Jacob's trouble? | Genesis | azurelaw | 192705 | ||
Dear Grace, Do you have any specific verses in mind to question? Starting from Genesis 25 and the following chapters record a lot of Jacob's life. Perhaps the below incidents are what you are looking for:- 1/ Took the advantage (or opportunity) to get the birthright from his brother (Gen 25:30-31) 2/ Cheat his father Isaac to get his blessings (Gen 27:11-29) 3/ Played tricks to get wealth from his father-in-law Laban (Gen 30:25-43) I believe Jacob's trouble is being too tricky or an opportunist. These are just my 2 cents. I think others on the forum would have more valuable input to your question. Shalom Azure |

234 | What is Jacob's trouble? | Genesis | azurelaw | 192794 | ||
Dear Grace, Subject to my previous post, I am sorry that I did not answer fully to the point. I hope the below additional information is helpful for your understanding of the topic. ****** "Here God speaks through His prophet Jeremiah, telling of the 'Great Day', concerning the brief but intense period of testing which shall come upon the Nation of Israel: 7 Alas! for that Day is Great, so that none is like it: it is even the Time of Jacob's Trouble, but he shall be Saved out of it. (Jeremiah 30:7)" (http://www.tribulation.com/prtjacob.htm) "Verse 7. Alas! for that day [is] great,.... For sorrow and distress: so that none [is] like it; such were the times of Jerusalem's siege and destruction by the Romans; and which was an emblem of those times of trouble from antichrist in the latter day; see Matthew 24:21;..." (John Gill's Exposition of the Bible) **** Shalom Azure |

236 | Abel,s sacrifice acceptable, Cain's not? | Genesis | azurelaw | 192915 | ||
Verse 3: Cain brought "an offering" Verse 4: Abel brought "the firstlings of..." The contrast showed Cain's attitude was so much inferior to that of Abel's. Cain had no respect on God. Verse 5-7 revealed that Cain had pride in him and did not repent for he showed anger to God's refusal. He had something very wrong in his motive in offering sacrifice. Hope the above helpful. Shalom Azure |

237 | How old was Ishmael? | Genesis | azurelaw | 194091 | ||
Dear jchbrr, You are quite right about the age of Ishmael. Hope the below is helpful: ------------ When Isaac was weaned, Ishmael was about 16 years of age. The weaning was made an occasion for great celebration. But it seems the pleasure of the day was marred by the objectionable behavior of Ishmael. "And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian .... mocking" (Genesis 21:9). Her jealous motherly love had quickened her sense of observation and her faculty of reading the character of children. We do not know exactly what the word used in the Hebrew for "mocking" really means. The Septuagint and the Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) render the passage: "When Sarah saw the son of Hagar .... playing with Isaac," and Paul followed a later tradition when he says: "He that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit" (Galatians 4:29). Lightfoot (in his notes to the Epistle to the Galatians) says: "At all events the word seems to mean mocking, jeering." At any rate, the fact remains that Sarah objected to the bringing up of the son of promise together with the "mocker," and so both mother and son were banished from the tents of Abraham. Now there came a most critical time in the life of young Ishmael. Only some bread and a bottle of water were "put on the shoulder" of Hagar by Abraham when he expelled her with her son. Aimlessly, as it seems, the two walked about in the wilderness of Beersheba. The water was soon spent, and with it went all hope and energy. The boy, being faint with thirst and tired out by his constant walking in the fierce heat of the sun, seemed to be dying. So his mother put him rapidly down in the shade of some plant. (We do not share the opinion of some writers that the narrative of Genesis 21:8 represented Ishmael as a little boy whom his mother had carried about and finally flung in the shade of some shrub. Even if this passage is taken from a different source, it is certainly not in conflict with the rest as to the age of Ishmael.) After this last act of motherly love--what else could she do to help the boy?--she retired to a place at some distance and resignedly expected the death of her son and perhaps her own. http://www.studylight.org ----------- Shalom Azure |
