842 | is the word elephant in the bible/apocra | 1 Kin 10:22 | BradK | 165412 | ||
Hi Chris, I have to admit, I'm not familiar with your story reference. However, Eastons' Bible Dictionary does give a bit of info that will hope fully shed some light: "Elephant — not found in Scripture except indirectly in the original Greek word (elephantinos) translated “of ivory” in Rev. 18:12, and in the Hebrew word (shenhabim, meaning “elephant’s tooth”) rendered “ivory” in 1 Kings 10:22 and 2 Chr. 9:21."

845 | what man was born but never died | 2 Kin 2:11 | BradK | 168837 | ||
drbloor, The only 2 humans in scripture that are not recorded as having died were: 1. Enoch; 2. Elijah Both were translated. However, I've never heard of Jacob being translated as you claim in Acts 7:16? The text relates the OT account of Jacob's death with is also found in Gen. 49:33. There is no mention of him being translated in Genesis! Acts 7:15 records that, "And Jacob went down to Egypt and there he and our fathers died". The next verse (16) simply relates that, "they were removed to Shechem and laid in the tomb which Abraham had purchased for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem." [NASB] The word, metatithemi does have the meaning of convey to another place, put in another place, transfer. However, the context wouldn't seem to support it being used in the same sense as that of Enoch. A.T. Robertson notes in his Word Pictures that , "only here in the N.T. in this sense of changing places. Jacob was buried in the cave of Machpelah (Gen. 50:13)." I'm not sure what to make of your claim? Did you have some insight that I might be missing or have overlooked? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

846 | what man was born but never died | 2 Kin 2:11 | BradK | 168903 | ||
Dear drbloor, I can quite agree with your initial statement that this topic is not one upon which we'll stand in judgement. It is within the realm of Rom. 14:1. With that said, I'd like to address 2 points with regard to your reply: 1. Acts 7:16- If we're simply dealing with a matter of semantics and the translation of the word metatithemi, then OK to a point. However, your claim seemed to indicate that Jacob was translated in the same manner as Enoch and Elijah. I do not see any scriptural warrant for such a conclusion if that is the case; 2. More importantly, you state that you, "believe he was simply transported and died just like everyone else." That can be your opinion, but this is at odds with scripture my friend! In Gen. 5:24 Enoch is set apart. Of each of the patriarchs before him, it is recorded "and he died" (Gen. 5:5, 8,11,14,17,20). But of Enoch it is written, that he did "not see death" and the reason given is that "God took him" and "he was not found." This implies that men looked everywhere for him, but the search parties could not find him dead or alive. The account in Heb. 11:5 is all the more explicit, "By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP..." Paul does not say Enoch died. He is the clear exception. Incidentally, Heb. 11:13 refers back to the beginning of the paragraph that starts at 11:8! C.H. Spurgeon remarks about Enoch: "But what did happen to Enoch? I am afraid I have said he died, or that I shall say so, it is so natural to speak of men as dying, but he alone and one other of all the human race are all that have entered the heavenly Canaan without fording the river of death. We are told concerning him that “he was not.” Those gentlemen who believe that the word to “die” signifies to be annihilated, would have been still more confirmed in their views if the words in my text, “he was not” had been applied to ad departed men, for if any expression might signify annihilation on their mode of translation — this is the one: “He was not” does not, however, mean that he was annihilated, and neither does the far feebler term of dying signify anything of the kind. “He was not”; that is to say, he was not here, that is all. He was gone from earth, but he was there, there where God had translated him. He was, he is with God, and that without having tasted death. Do not grudge him his avoidance of death. It was a favor, but not by any means so great as some would think, for those who do not die must undergo a change, and Enoch was changed. “We shall not all sleep,” says the apostle, “but we shall all be changed.” The flesh and blood of Enoch could not inherit the kingdom of God: in a moment he underwent a transformation which you and I will have to undergo in the day of the resurrection; and so, though he was not on earth, he was translated or transplanted from the gardens of earth to the Paradise above." We will have to agree to dsagree on this one:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

847 | who was the first to go towithout dying | 2 Kin 2:13 | BradK | 221762 | ||
Hello robyn, Enoch would have been the first to not see death according to scripture. Gen. 5:24 says, "Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him." (NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |

848 | why was Jabez named sorrow maker | 1 Chr 2:55 | BradK | 214268 | ||
Hello sister Donna, I'm not aware of any reference in scripture to Jabez being named sorrow maker? All that we know of Jabez is contained in 1 Chron. 4:9-10. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

849 | why was Jabez named sorrow maker | 1 Chr 2:55 | BradK | 214276 | ||
Hello MJH, Yes, the name Jabez equals "sorrow". As Strongs' notes, it's "from an unused root probably meaning sorrow". Beyond that we sinply have no additonal info:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

851 | Should Christian men wear a beard? | 1 Chr 19:5 | BradK | 190757 | ||
Dear Bearded Bro, I think the question has been asked and answered! Whatever "research" you have done only seems to confirm what you're seeking! We serve a God of grace and I know that He is infinitely more concerned about the heart than facial hair- or lack thereof! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

852 | Should Christian men wear a beard? | 1 Chr 19:5 | BradK | 190780 | ||
Dear Bearded Bro, First off, your exegesis is pretty slim to none in offering solid Biblical support! Second, you're making a mountain out of a mole hill on this issue! Third, this is really more of a matter of personal preference than it is being God-directed! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

853 | Should Christian men wear a beard? | 1 Chr 19:5 | BradK | 190786 | ||
Dear Paul, I thank you for the clarification- it does help. And, I can appreciate the time and study that you did. However,with all due respect, I would call what "some Baptist preachers" may not be allowing as pure and simple legalism. I attended a Baptist church here in the NW some years ago and facial hair was not part of their practice. I'm simply not convinced that there is any mandate, or preference in God's Word to support this contention. Ultimately, there are far more important issues to be studied and discussed in my honest opinion (Rom. 14:1). May God bless you in your walk and may you find His grace to be sufficient:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

854 | Isaiah at his death | 2 Chr 32:23 | BradK | 225447 | ||
Hello Grace, According to Easton's Bible Dictionary, "The remaining years of Hezekiah’s reign were peaceful (2 Chr. 32:23, 27–29). Isaiah probably lived to its close, and possibly into the reign of Manasseh, but the time and manner of his death are unknown. There is a tradition that he suffered martyrdom in the heathen reaction in the time of Manasseh (q.v.)." Commenting in reference to Heb. 11:37, "...they were sawn in two,...", John Gill notes, "to which there seems to be an allusion in ( Matthew 24:51 ) . There is no instance of any good men being so used in Scripture: perhaps reference is had to some that suffered thus in the time of Antiochus. The Jews have a tradition, that the Prophet Isaiah was sawn asunder in the times of Manasseh, and by his order; which some think the apostle refers unto; though it seems to be all fictitious, and ill put together." [John Gill's Exposition of the Bible] I hope this helps, BradK |

859 | Esther 2:12 | Esth 2:12 | BradK | 224139 | ||
Hello breaddown, Esther 2:12 reads, "Now when the turn of each young lady came to go in to King Ahasuerus, after the end of her twelve months under the regulations for the women--for the days of their beautification were completed as follows: six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and the cosmetics for women--"(NASB) According to the Bible Knowledge Commentary, "Esther was not in a beauty contest simply to win the king’s affections; the women were being prepared to have sexual relations with the king. This is suggested by the words (Vs. 14) in the evening she would go there and in the morning return." I think vs. 10 answers the second part of your question, "Esther did not make known her people or her kindred, for Mordecai had instructed her that she should not make them known." (NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |

860 | What does the week of Haman mean? | Esth 7:10 | BradK | 87927 | ||
mrsrock, Any references to Haman are only found in the book of Esther. There does not appear to be any usage of the phrase " week of Haman" in scripture:-) It may have something to do with regard to his treachery in plotting to have the Jews killed and his ultimate hanging in 7:10. Speaking The truth In Love, BradK |
