Greetings 5282jt, There is absolutely nothing within the context of Acts 1-2 that would in any way indicate that the ascension of the Lord Jesus into heaven was in any way a vision only: Mark 16:19; Luke 24:51; John 3:13; Acts 1:11; Heb. 9:24; 1 Peter 3:22. Christ rose from the grave, bodily, and He ascended into heaven also bodily! Blessings to you, Makarios |

Greetings ESHOVO, There is no such scripture that says that the 'old world was symbolically baptised in Noah's flood.' This is not a scriptural belief. Blessings to you, Makarios |

326 | Genealogy of Jesus | Luke 3:24 | Makarios | 218067 | ||
Greetings Wofa Ato, "Matthew "Chapter 1:1-17. Genealogy of Jesus" "This is given also in Lk 3:23-38. The Coming of Christ to the earth had been anticipated from the beginning. In the early days of human history God had chosen One Family Line, that of Abraham, and, later on, another Family within the Abrahamic Family, that of David, to be the Family through which His Son would make entrance into the world. "The Hebrew Nation was founded, and nurtured, of God, through the ages, to bulwark that Family Line of descent. "The Genealogy, as given in Mt, is abridged. Some names are omitted. But that does not invalidate the line of descent. "42 generations, 3 groups of 14 each, cover 2000 years: the 1st group, 1000 years; 2nd group, 400 years; 3rd, 600 years. "The 3rd group, however, names only 13 generations, the 14th evidently being intended for Mary. "The Genealogy as given in Lk is somewhat different. Mt goes back to Abraham; Lk, to Adam. One is descending, "begat"; the other is ascending, "was son of". From David they are separate lines, touching in Shealtiel and Zerubbabel. "The commonly accepted view is that Mt gives Joseph's line, showing Jesus to be Legal Heir tot he Promises given Abraham and David; and that Lk gives Mary's line, showing Jesus' blood descent, "Son of David according to the flesh," Rom 1:3. "Mary's genealogy, in accord with Jewish usage, was in her husband's name. Joseph was the "son of Heli", Lk 3:23, that is, "son-in-law" of Heli. Jacob was Joseph's father, Mt 1:16. "These genealogies, given more fully in 1 Chron 1-9, form the backbone of O T annals. Carefully guarded through long centuries of epochal vicissitudes, they contain a "family line through which a Promise was transmitted 4000 years, a fact unexampled in history." (1) You asked "Who was Nathan the son of David. verse 31" Scripture: 2 Sam. 5:14; 1 Chronicles 3:5; 14:4 Nathan was a son of David: one of the four that were born to him by Bathsheba, no doubt named after Nathan the prophet, who revealed David's sin to him (2 Sam. 12:1-12) "You are the man!"

327 | the last Adam | 1 Cor 15:45 | Makarios | 218031 | ||
Greetings John! Yes, there is a difference between "perfect" and "immortality." I asked three questions to Alex's reply that were intended to lead to one answer: that Adam was not perfect. Also, there is a lot more to "perfect" than just the physical aspect of the body: there is the spiritual aspect to factor in as well. Blessings to you, Makarios |

328 | the last Adam | 1 Cor 15:45 | Makarios | 218030 | ||
Greetings Lionheart! Is it in God's nature to create anything less than perfect? This is one of those questions that I believe will never be accurately or sufficiently answered before get to heaven. I believe that God created Adam and Eve as they were, but they sinned. I believe that God knew beforehand what they were going to do, but He had a plan. As for His purposes being "right" or "wrong", that is up to God to decide. Do we have a standpoint to pass any kind of judgment on God's creation? (I will go ahead and answer this one as to remove any kind of speculation before it starts:) No, we do not. The fact is that God created man, but man sinned, and man, therefore, was not perfect. Blessings to you, Makarios |

329 | the last Adam | 1 Cor 15:45 | Makarios | 218029 | ||
Greetings YenIsaRap! There was only one correct answer to my three questions: Adam was not perfect before he sinned. Also, the fact that he sinned is evidence itself that he was not perfect. I believe that there is a lot of confusion about the subject of immortality in conjunction with being "perfect." There is a lot in your reply that is based purely on speculation and is not based on any scripture. Blessings to you, Makarios |

330 | the last Adam | 1 Cor 15:45 | Makarios | 218001 | ||
Greetings Alex! One thing to consider: If God had created Adam as 'immortal' or perfect, then why would God have included the tree of life (Gen. 2:9) in the garden? Why would man need to eat of the tree of life if he was already immortal? And why would God include death as a consequence (Gen. 2:17) of disobedience if man was already immortal? Blessings to you, Makarios |

331 | the last Adam | 1 Cor 15:45 | Makarios | 218000 | ||
Greetings Lionheart! Was Adam's body perfect until he sinned? Going back to Genesis, "God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good." (Genesis 1:31) I believe that there is a difference between "very good" and "perfect." When God saw everything that He had made and pronounced His creation (collectively) as "very good," but does not follow up with a "and God saw that it was good" after the creation of man as He did with the light (v.4), the earth and the sea (v.10), seed bearing plants (v.12), the sun and the moon (v. 18), the animal kingdom (v.21) and every other beast other than man (v.25), then I do not see verse 31 as such a ringing endorsement of perfection on man's part - I see that God is collectively pronouncing that His creation was, in fact, very good, or very pleasing to Him. But even though God does not follow up with a 'saw that it was good' after the creation of man, I believe that mankind itself can be included in the all inclusive "it was very good" when God describes His creation collectively, because the creation of man was according to His purpose (Rom. 8:29). I believe that when God pronounces everything as "very good" in Genesis 1:31, He is not saying that man is perfect (see John 2:25), but only that the creation of man was pleasing to Him. I do not believe that mankind was perfect before the fall because God had to give man instruction after he was created but before he fell (Gen. 2:16-17), and man ultimately sinned anyway (Gen. 3:6, Rom. 8:22), which proves that he was not perfect. If man was "perfect," then he would not have sinned. Blessings to you, Makarios |

332 | the last Adam | 1 Cor 15:45 | Makarios | 217994 | ||
Greetings Makus! 1 Corinthians 15:45 "And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit." (NKJV) Here is a bit of commentary on this verse: "15:45-49 Here Paul answers the question (v. 35) more specifically by showing that the resurrection body of Jesus Christ is the prototype. He begins with a quotation from Gen. 2:7 with the addition of two words, "first" and "Adam." Adam was created with a natural body, not perfect, but good in every way (Gen. 3:1). The "last Adam" is Jesus Christ (Rom. 5:19,21). He is saying that through the first Adam we received our natural bodies, but through the last Adam we will receive our spiritual bodies in resurrection. Adam's body was the prototype of the natural, Christ's body of the resurrection. We will bear the image of His body fit for heaven (Acts 1:11; Phil. 3:20,21; 1 John 3:1-3) as we have borne the image of Adam's on earth."

334 | Not even for some fresh air??? | Lev 21:12 | Makarios | 217984 | ||
Greetings Humility! The temple priesthood was organized into 24 divisions, with each division serving twice a year for one week (1 Chr. 24:4-19). Of the 24 divisions, 16 were from Eleazar and 8 were from Ithamar. Taken within the context, Leviticus 21:10-12 speaks of actions that a priest is prohibited from that have to do with mourning or anguish. Compare with Leviticus 10:7 "you shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle" as this prohibition, normally applied to the High Priest (21:10-12), is also applied to Eleazar and Ithamar. Since touching a corpse (Num. 19:11) or even entering the home of someone who died (Num. 19:14) made a citizen unclean, a priest could only be made unclean in this way through the death of a close relative (Lev. 21:2-3). But this regulation in Lev. 21:12 denied the priest even this reason for possible uncleanness.

335 | Intersesery Prayer | Gen 1:1 | Makarios | 217983 | ||
Greetings Harris1979, If you type in 'intercession' (noun) in the inquiry bar at www.dictionary.com, you receive the following definitions: "1. an act or instance of interceding. 2. an interposing or pleading on behalf of another person. 3. a prayer to God on behalf of another." (1) For scriptural examples of intercession, see Abraham (Genesis 18:20-33), Reuben (Genesis 37:21-22), Paul's nephew (Acts 23:16-22), Paul (Philemon 10-11) and Christ (Isaiah 53:12, Romans 8:34; Heb. 7:25). An intercessor, or mediator, in regards to prayer, is a person who prays on behalf of another. Here are some Scriptural examples of intercessory prayer: - Isaac (Gen. 25:21) - Job (Job 42:8) - Moses (Ex. 32:11-35; Num. 21:7; Deut. 9:18,26) - Jeremiah (Jer. 37:3; 42:2) - Daniel (Dan. 9:20) - Nehemiah (Neh. 1:6) - Those led into exile were to pray (Jer. 29:7) - Christ (John 17:13-26; Luke 22:32; 23:34) - The Holy Spirit (Romans 8:26) - The Church (2 Cor. 1:11; 9:14) In fact, we are to pray on behalf of "all men" (1 Tim. 2:1-2) and ask that others pray for us (Eph. 6:19; James 5:14,16). Paul asked for prayer many times: Romans 15:30; Col. 4:3; 1 Thess. 5:25; 2 Thess. 3:1; Heb. 13:18. We are called to lift one another up in prayer. Blessings to you, Makarios (1) intercession. (n.d.).

337 | Sodom rebuilt again? EZEKIEL 16:53-55 | Bible general Archive 4 | Makarios | 217962 | ||
Greetings Unction! You ask if Ezekiel 16:53-55 states that Sodom will be rebuilt.. The best way to look at this section of scripture is as a comparison of Judah to Samaria and Sodom: "16:46-59 Judah is compared to Samaria and Sodom, whose judgment for sin was great. Judah was more corrupt (v. 47), multiplied Samaria's and Sodom's sin (v. 51), and committed more abominable sin (v. 52)." (1) "16:53-59 As Jerusalem had arrogantly poked fun at Sodom, so Jerusalem would be despised by Syria and Philistia. Although restoration was promised, the people still had to pay for their sins by living in exile. This punishment was consistent with God's past and persistent promises to repay disobedience with specific curses (see 4:16, 17; 5:8-17). .." (2) "bring again . . . captivity—that is, change the affliction into prosperity (so Job 42:10). Sodom itself was not so restored (Jer 20:16), but Ammon and Moab (her representatives, as sprung from Lot who dwelt in Sodom) were (Jer 48:47,49:6); probably most of the ten tribes and the adjoining nations, Ammon and Moab, were in part restored under Cyrus but the full realization of the restoration is yet future the heathen nations to be brought to Christ being typified by "Sodom," whose sins they now reproduce (De 32:32)." (3) "captivity of thy captives—literally, "of thy captivities." However, the gracious promise rather begins with the "nevertheless" (Eze 16:60), not here; for Eze 16:59 is a threat, not a promise. The sense here thus is, Thou shalt be restored when Sodom and Samaria are, but not till then (Eze 16:55), that is, never. This applies to the guilty who should be utterly destroyed (Eze 16:41,42); but it does not contradict the subsequent promise of restoration to their posterity (Nu 14:29-33), and to the elect remnant of grace [CALVIN]." (3) John Calvin and John Wesley both agree that Sodom was not restored or to be restored. "Ezekiel 16:53: When - Sodom and Samaria never were restored to that state they had been in; nor were the two tribes ever made so rich, mighty, and renowned, though God brought some of them out of Babylon: the words confirm an irrecoverably low, and despised state, of the Jews in their temporals. Then - Then, not before."

338 | Why does Jesus have mercy on Demons? | Mark 5:13 | Makarios | 217902 | ||
Greetings Eascusa, "And at once Jesus gave them permission" Why did Jesus allow this? Why didn’t Jesus just put these unclean spirits out of commission? Because the time of the total demonstration of His authority over demons had not yet come - it would come at the cross. Colossians 2:15 tells us that at the cross Jesus disarmed demons in their attacks on believers, He made a public spectacle of their defeat, and He triumphed over them in His work on the cross.

339 | how many servants did king solomon have | 1 Kin 3:15 | Makarios | 217901 | ||
Greetings MGN3500, A number of different verses speak of the servants of Solomon, including: 1 Kings 1:33,47; 3:15; 9:22,27; 2 Chr. 8:18; 9:10; Ezra 2:55,58; Neh. 7:57,60; 11:3. It is a fair assumption to make from 1 Kings 1:47 that Solomon had more servants than King David (2 Sam. 2:17; 8:2,6,14; 18:7). Blessings to you, Makarios |
