1 | what does the book of joshua teaching | Joshua | INRI | 188776 | ||
Very briefly, after Moses died, Joshua lead the people into the promised land. There are city by city battles. The Jews were successful when they followed God's commands and failed if anyone disobeyed. It is a lesson in obeying God and His fidelity to His promise to Abraham. |

5 | No contradiction here | Prov 26:5 | INRI | 188661 | ||
4 and 5 do not contradict each other. These two passages in such close proximity indicate that there is a fine line in responding to someone foolish. If we are sincere, humble, and charitable, our response will embrace and advance both of us. If we are not careful, we can be drawn in to the fray, become indignant and superior, and drop to the level of the fool. The call of St. Peter in Luke 5:4-11 is a perfect example of a wise response. When Jesus asked Peter to cast his nets again, he could have responded with indignity. After all, he made his living fishing. He knew where and when to fish. He was the expert. What were Jesus' credentials? Jesus was asking Peter to forget what he knew and perform an exercise in futility. Fortunately Peter responded with humility and acquiesced. Peter understood that love subordinates knowledge. Knowledge puffs us up, but love builds up. (I Corinthians 8:1) |

6 | I just read micah 1:1 - 2:13 and am lost | Micah | INRI | 189021 | ||
The prophet Micah is prophesying judgment upon Samaria because its people have intermarried and have started worshiping the false gods of their spouses. Samaria is the part of the country that was given to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, Jacob's Egyptian grandchildren fathered by Joseph. Joseph was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and rose in power to be second to the Pharaoh of Egypt. He married an Egyptian woman and had two sons. Jacob gave them both an inheritance. Read the last chapter of Genesis for more information. Because they were already dismissed as half-breeds they permitted marriage outside the Jewish community. Samaria and Jerusalem were centers of corruption. |

7 | Is church growth a gauge for the church? | Matt 13:23 | INRI | 189511 | ||
You are probably looking for something more precise than this. This may refer to your thought. The seed that was sown on good ground bore fruit 100 fold. |

8 | verse linkage | Matt 27:9 | INRI | 189514 | ||
Both Jeremiah and Zechariah spoke from the same Spirit. It was not either one's words but those of the Holy Spirit. So in one sense, it does not matter which one was referenced. However, here is the connection: Jeremiah 32 spoke of the purchase of land prophetically in terms of the purchase symbolizing a restoration from captivity. Zechariah spoke of the purchase of the potter's field for 30 pieces of silver. Both referenced the purchase of land. Sometimes when a combination of prophecies are quoted, only one prophet gets the credit. This happens elsewhere. |

9 | reconcile Mark 6:8 and Luke 9:3 | Mark 6:8 | INRI | 188630 | ||
I always liked this one because they are side by side: Proverbs 26:4-5 Answer not a [self-confident] fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him. Answer a [self-confident] fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes and conceit. |

10 | reconcile Mark 6:8 and Luke 9:3 | Mark 6:8 | INRI | 188632 | ||
Both Jeremiah and Zechariah spoke from the same Spirit. It was not either one's words but the Holy Spirit. Jeremiah 32 spoke of the purchase of land in a superior prophecy. Zechariah spoke of the purchase of the potter's field for 30 pieces of silver. Have you noticed that when a combination of prophecies are quoted, only one prophet gets the credit? This happens in one of the quotes about John the Baptist (John's Gospel). |

11 | reconcile Mark 6:8 and Luke 9:3 | Mark 6:8 | INRI | 188635 | ||
I like it because it is amusing. It stops you cold in your tacks with a quick read. It is a good example of how we need to be attentive, not just surface readers. I do not see it as a contradiction. It does not perplex me at all and my faith is strong. But that is not what this is about. It is about scriptures, not beliefs. Regarding translations, they can easily flex to handle obvious issues like this. I wonder how the original text reads. Unfortunately, I can't find the text in the Septuagint to see how similar they are. I can't translate Hebrew. I appreciate your offer to coach though. Again, sorry for the "folly". |

15 | For Jews, 7 of anything was plenty | Luke 8:2 | INRI | 188799 | ||
In Hebrew, the number 7 signifies completeness. For a person to have 7 demons may indicate that she was completely possessed. Because she was a woman, seven demons may be a euphanism indicating Mary Magdalene committed every kind of sin, including sexual sins. From there it is a simple, but not a necessary jump, to assume that she was a prostitute. This may account for the urban legend that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. Regardless, Mary was a very fallen woman who was redeemed by the love of Jesus. Her spiritual resurrection offers hope for anyone recovering from slavery to sin. |

16 | "Where are you staying" and the Sabbath | John 1:38 | INRI | 188463 | ||
This was an unusual first question directed to the "Lamb of God." This would certainly not have made my list of questions. Why did they ask it? The question was an important one to Jews on the Sabbath because the Sabbath rest, as interpreted by their leaders, limited the travel an observant Jew could make. Instead of providing data so they could calculate whether they could safely move within the limits, Jesus issued them an invitation -- Come and see. This immediately lead them to decide whether they would follow Jesus the Christ or follow their leaders directives. Additionally, they remained for the rest of the day. This also would agree with the argument that that this action took place on the Sabbath. |

17 | Is it ok to sell books or eat in church. | John 2:16 | INRI | 188516 | ||
Maybe the lesson is about who is going to profit from the sales? Many churches and ministries rely on fund raisers. These services benefited some Jews, making them better equipped to worship. It was a convenience for them. However, conducting business in the temple detracted from the holiness of the temple and the worship of God. | ||||||

19 | The Father is greater than "I AM"? | John 14:28 | INRI | 189504 | ||
The Father is greater than "I AM"? Could this mean that "Father" which he describes is greater than "I AM" that Israel has come to know? Not that the "Father" is distinct from "I AM" but is underestimated by Israel. Kind of like saying "I knew Jack Kennedy and you are not Jack Kennedy." |

20 | There are a few righteous in the Bible | Rom 3:10 | INRI | 188750 | ||
Never say never. The Bible identifies several righteous people: Jesus acknowledges them in NASB Matthew 13:17 "For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.” And in NASB Luke 1:6 "They were both righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord."(Speaking of Zechariah and Elizabeth) Is the psalmist that Paul quotes is talking about talking about before the time of Christ? He talks about the time of rejoicing when Yahweh restores his people. Was that done by our Lord so that now there are righteous men, even before the crucifixion? dikaios is used by Paul in Romans. It is also used to describe Simeon in Luke 2:25 and Matthew 13:17 and Luke 1:6 use dikaioi. Can anyone reconcile these with this verse? There must be more to it than the absolute that this verse indicates. |
