421 | Omitted in Colossians | Philem 1:1 | BMyers | 202045 | ||
Don't know and any guess on my part would be pure speculation. I've written letters to family and friends before and not mentioned everyone and others that I have mentioned just about everyone I could think of. Brad |

422 | How old was Mary | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 202024 | ||
Bible doesn't say. She could of been 13, 14, 15, 16, etc. The best we can do is make a guess based on the customs of the time, which would make her a teenager, but no one can say for sure. Brad |

423 | Outside the camp, there's a place clean? | OT general | BMyers | 202020 | ||
I'm no Old Testament Scholar, but I'm just curious why you would think everything outside the camp was unclean? Unclean things were kept outside the camp, but I wouldn't say everything outside the camp was unclean. The soldiers were considered unclean and had to camp outside the camp for seven days until clean (Num. 31:19). After they were purified, then they could enter the camp. My thought process (which could be wrong) is if everything was unclean outside the camp, then you could never get clean to come back into the camp. All unclean things had to go through a ritual cleaning, which generally involved moving the unclean thing outside of camp, but (to me at least) that doesn't mean everything outside of camp was unclean. Hopefully I made some kind of sense there. Brad |

424 | Colosse? | Philem 1:1 | BMyers | 202018 | ||
I would assume one reason is that tradition has him as the bishop of that city. Also, Colossians 4:18 speaks of Archippus, which he is spoken of in the greeting of Philemon. We can make some conclusions, Philemon and Archippus was in the same place, Colossians was written to the Christians in Colosse (Colossae), Philemon and Colossians is believed to be written at the same time (partially due to the names that are mentioned in Colossians 4). So putting everything together, it is concluded that Philemon is from Colosse. Brad (Maybe someone can give us a better answer, but this is the best I can do) |
||||||
425 | Archippus? | Philem 1:2 | BMyers | 202017 | ||
According to Unger's Bible Dictionary: "A Christian minister at Colossae, to whom Paul sends a salutation, calling him "our Fellow soldier" (PHil 2), and whom he exhorts to increased activity (Col. 4:17), AD 61. In the epistle to Philemon he is addressed jointly with Philemon and Apphia, from which it has been inferred that he is a member of Philemon's family. Tradition states that he was one of Jesus' seventy disciples and suffered martyrdom at Chonae, near Laodicea." Brad |

426 | why is male nor female listed | NT general | BMyers | 202013 | ||
Doing a very quick read, the letters are addressed to different churches, dealing with different issues. Yet they both point out the same thing, that God is not a respector of sex or race or title, but God looks at the heart of man. Brad |

428 | what is Hebrews 10:25 saying? | Heb 10:25 | BMyers | 201950 | ||
MT 18:20 “For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” As the others have stated, the body needs all its members to help edify each other. HEB 3:13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 1TH 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.

430 | Ezekiel 36:17 (unclean women) | Ezek 36:17 | BMyers | 201927 | ||
Leviticus chapter 15 deals with the cleansing and impurity of woman and man. What reading I have done on the matter, the unclean status serves two purposes (besides the simple fact God said so). 1) Until a discharge was proven not to be an illness, both man and woman was consider unclean. This protected the people from the spread of disease 2) The unclean state protected the woman from an over (trying to think the politically correct way of saying it) zealous husband during a time that she was not at her best. Here is part of what Matthew Henry Commentary states: This is concerning the ceremonial uncleanness which women lay under from their issues, both those that were regular and healthful, and according to the course of nature (Lev. 15:19-24), and those that were unseasonable, excessive, and the disease of the body; such was the bloody issue of that poor woman who was suddenly cured by touching the hem of Christ’s garment, after she had lain twelve years under her distemper, and had spent her estate upon physicians and physic in vain. This made the woman that was afflicted with it unclean (Lev. 15:25) and every thing she touched unclean, Lev. 15:26, 27. And if she was cured, and found by seven days’ trial that she was perfectly free from her issue of blood, she was to be cleansed by the offering of two turtle-doves or two young pigeons, to make an atonement for her, Lev. 15:28, 29. All wicked courses, particularly idolatries, are compared to the uncleanness of a removed woman (Ezek. 36:17), and, in allusion to this, it is said of Jerusalem (Lam. 1:9), Her filthiness is in her skirts, so that (as it follows, Lev. 15:17) she was shunned as a menstruous woman. MHC on Ezekiel 36:17 God’s glory had been injured by the sin of Israel when they were in their own land, Ezek. 36:17. It was a good land, a holy land, a land that had the eye of God upon it. But they defiled it by their own way, their wicked way; that is our own way, the way of our own choice; and we ourselves must bear the blame and shame of it. The sin of a people defiles their land, renders it abominable to God and uncomfortable to themselves; so that they cannot have any holy communion with him nor with one another. What was unclean might not be made use of. By the abuse of the gifts of God’s bounty to us we forfeit the use of them; and, the mind and conscience being defiled with guilt, no comfort is allowed us, nothing is pure to us. Their way in the eye of God was like the pollution of a woman during the days of her separation, which shut her out from the sanctuary and made very things she touched ceremonially unclean, Lev. 15:19. Sin is that abominable thing which the Lord hates, and which he cannot endure to look upon. Brad |

Welcome to the forum. I would suggest a quick search of the word 'tithe' on the forum (the search feature is on the right side of your screen). You will find this topic has been discussed in great length with lots of useful information. Brad |

I like the Zondervan Study Bible. You may want to check, but if I'm remember correctly, the Thompson Chain Reference Bible in the NASB was the original, not the Update 1995 edition. If you search at www.christianbook.com they have several gift/evangelism style Bibles you can purchase just depending on your price and need. Brad |

435 | Was it uncommon for daughters to inherit | Job 42:15 | BMyers | 201854 | ||
I don't have my reference books here at work with me, but if I remember correctly, it was very unusual for daughters to inherit things. My understanding of the culture of this time period viewed women more as property than individuals with rights. Brad |

436 | True or Not? | Rom 3:23 | BMyers | 201736 | ||
Is any man perfect in and of himself? No. Everyone of us have sinned (Romans 3:23). The only person who has been on this earth without sin is Jesus. Not knowing the full context of what your preacher was talking about makes it a little hard to give further insight. Did you ask the preacher to explain why and what this statement meant? Brad |

439 | Others have no right to judge only GOD!! | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 201717 | ||
Your post seems to deal with a few different topics, without giving any scriptures for proof. The first is public prayer. The passage you are referring to is from Matthew 6:5. The research I have done on the passage has to do with the spirit the men were praying in. Their prayer was not for God, but to gain the public approval of men. Basically they were wanted to show everyone how ‘religious’ they were. As the scripture says, they got their full reward. If you read Luke 18:10-14 you will see this explained. The purpose of prayer is not to gain public approval for us, but pray should be for God. Does this mean we shouldn’t pray in public places? No, Matthew 18:19, 20 actually encourages us to pray with one another. The second topic I see is faith. You make the statement that “it's nobody's business if or how you believe in God”. It is every Christian’s concern if a person believes in God and His saving grace. Matthew 28:16-20 tells us that we are to go into the entire world and preach the Gospel. The third topic was judging. You are correct that there is scripture that warns us about judging one another. Yet I have seen this taken to the other extreme where in the name of ‘not judging’ Christians are unwilling to call sin, sin. The Bible gives us some very clear standards of what sin is, such as adultery, homosexuality, thieves, drunkard, (1 Co 6:9,10) and Christians should never fear challenging sin. You are also correct, in the end, it is the final judgment that will determine the eternal resting place of your soul. I encourage you take some serious time to research and pray about what the Bible says on your beliefs, I think you will find that they are not matching up with what is Biblically correct. Brad |

Helps if I read the question, I thought it said into the ark. Maybe I need to just go to bed. Brad |
