741 | What animal spoke to Baalam? | Num 22:30 | prayon | 50875 | ||
Greetings angelface, To elaborate a little more on Jesusman's answer: There are parallels between Balaam and his donkey. First, just as Baalam pushes his donkey onward until he is brought up short by God's angel, so Balak keeps pushing Balaam to curse Israel although God repeatedly tells him not to. Next just as God opens the donkey's mouth to speak God's true words to Balaam so God will open the Balaam's mouth to speak God's real blessing on Israel. Third, the donkey's dilemma mirrors that of Balaam. The donkey is caught between the angel of God with his drawn sword and Balaam's stick, Similarily, Balaam is caught between the immoveable word of God and Balak's urgings. The miracle is not the point of the story, the point is the humiliation of Balaam who is supposed to be a seer but cannot even see the angel of the Lord although a donkey can. (from BSF notes on Numbers). prayon | ||||||
742 | INTHE BIBLE THE BOOK OF GALATIANS GIVE | Galatians | prayon | 50873 | ||
Greetings, the book of Galations is the letter Paul wrote to the Galations to refute the Judaizers (who taught that the Gentile believers must obey the Jewish law in order to be saved) and to call believers back to the pure gospel. The theme of the entire book is that Christians are saved by grace. Galations is called the charter of Christian freedom by some. In the letter Paul proclaims the reality of our liberty in Christ - freedom from the law and the power of sin to serve out living Lord. prayon |

743 | why did Adonijah take hold of altar | 1 Kin 1:50 | prayon | 50872 | ||
Greetings TVP and welcome to the forum. Adonijah wanted to become king instead of Solomon. He had one of the priests make sacrifices for him that were called for when a new king is annointed. Nathan found out about the plans and he and Bathsheba went and told King David. They went immediately and annointed Solomon to become king. Upon hearing this Adonijah ran in panic to the alter and grabbed the horns of the altar. The altar is the place of God's mercy and forgiveness, therefore both he and his general, Joab, thought that they would be safe by clutching the horns of the sacred altar of burnt offering in the tabernacle court. Leviticus Chapter 1 tells us about the burnt offerings that were to be given at the altar for forgiveness of sins. Hope this answers your question. |

744 | root word study, "sons of God" OT | Job 38:7 | prayon | 50222 | ||
In the Book of Job the phrase is used for angelic or nonhuman beings (Job 1:6; 2:1). These sons of God presented themselves before God in what might be called a heavenly assembly. Satan appeared with them, although this does not necessarily mean he was one of the “sons of God.” Thus the stage was set for the telling of the story of Job. Hope this helps. prayon |

745 | who did the angel fight against daniel | Dan 10:1 | prayon | 50064 | ||
Tuli, Each of these nations were to have power over God's people. They were represented by evil angelic "princes" or demons. prayon | ||||||
746 | dan 10 what was the vision daniel saw | Dan 10:5 | prayon | 50063 | ||
Greetings tuli, In this vision Daniel saw a heavienly being. Some believed that it was an appearance of Christ because of the appearance of the being described in verse 6 (see Rev 1:13-15). Others believe it is an angel (because he required Michaels help (see v. 13). In either case, Daniel caught a glimpse of the battle between good and evil supernatural powers. prayon | ||||||
747 | What is Psalme 121 talking about? | Ps 121:8 | prayon | 49749 | ||
Greetings sminter, Psalm 121 expresses assurance and hope in God's day and night. It tells us that not only does he watch over us but also nothing distracts or deters Him. We are safe at all times. Psa 91:10-12 also talks about how He watches over us. One of the themes of the bible is that God watches over us and protects us if we trust in Him. Verses reinforcing this can be found throughout the bible. prayon |

748 | Is Fasting a New Testament teaching? | 2 Sam 12:16 | prayon | 49747 | ||
Greetings Scarlet and welcome to the forum! Fasting is not a NT teaching. In Leviticus the Isrealites were commanded to fast on the day of attonement for sin. When David and Bathsheba's baby became very sick David tells us that he fasted. In 2Chronicles 20:3 Jehoshaphat called for a fast when his messenger told him that Edom was preparing a great army against him. There were also many other fasts mentioned in the OT. Some of them include: Ezra 8:20 Esther 4:16 Isaiah 58:3 Jerimiah 36:9 Joel 1:14 Jonah 3:5 Zec 7:3 I hope this helps. prayon |

749 | How were ppl saved before Jesus came? | Heb 11:6 | prayon | 49233 | ||
Thank you for your reply Chris pointing out the error in my answer. You are totally right when you stated that animal sacrifices could not take away the sin, they could only provide a temporary way to deal with sin until Jesus came to deal with it permanently. But God did forgive them by faith when they made their sacrifices. This practice looked forward to Christ's perfect sacrifice. prayon | ||||||
750 | How were ppl saved before Jesus came? | Heb 11:6 | prayon | 49218 | ||
Greetings Amrit, To be forgiven for sin there must be a blood sacrifice. Before Jesus, this involved sacrificing an animal such as a ram, sheep, dove, ect. Leviticus 1-5 goes into each of the 5 different types of offerings in detail. Today is no different, there must also be a blood offering to be forgiven for sins. The blood of Jesus Christ was our sin offering. He sacrificed Himself so that we may be saved, putting an end to animal sacrifices. All through history since Adam there have been people who have sinned and have not offered a blood sacrifice. These people have gone to hell. prayon |

752 | Who is Molech? | Lev 20:2 | prayon | 48821 | ||
Molech was a pagan god to whom child sacrifices were made. Children were dedicated and burned to Molech at the Tophet in the Valley of Hinnon near Jerusalem. This practice is specifically mentioned in 4 passages in the OT; Lev 18:21; 20:2-5; 2 Kings 23:10; Jer 32:35. Some scholars have suggested that the term "passing over" children to Molech and "burning in fire" indicate a dedication of the children to the god's service rather than the actual sacrifice. Jer. 19:5 calls such offerings "burnt offerings" and Ez 23:37-39 calls the act slaughter and says the children were given to the god as food. The worship may of been of Phoenician origin. Deuteronomy explains it as the custom of the indigenous population of Caanan. The Isrealites practiced this type of worship about 160 years beginning in 735 BC. Josiah's reforms attempted but did not totally eradicate it. (Harpers Bible Dictionary). prayon |

753 | What does Hebrews 8 Mean? | Lev 17:11 | prayon | 48734 | ||
Chapter 8 in Hebrews is a comparison of the old covenant which was a covenant of law between God and Isreal with the new covenant of grace. Jesus states that He is the fulfillment of the law in the sense that God requires a blood sacrifice for sin. To be forgiven for a sin blood must be shed (see Lev 17:10-11). In the old covenant the blood of an animal was shed. With the new covenant the blood of Christ was shed for the sins of all. When Christ stated that He did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it He was referring to the blood sacrifice He was to offer in order to fulfill God's rule that blood must be shed for the forgiveness of sins. Christ only canceled out the sacrificing of animals for sins, not the old testament. prayon |

754 | will the church see the antichrist reign | 2 Thess 2:3 | prayon | 48318 | ||
Greetings Flo, I believe, and this is my own personal opinion, that we will see the antichrist before the rapture but we won't be aware that he is the antichrist. We will see his reign but we will see it from heaven. The great tribulation will happen during the antichrist's reign but I believe that God in His infinate mercy will rapture the believers before this happens. prayon | ||||||
755 | Disbelief after witnessing a miracle? | Matt 12:13 | prayon | 48317 | ||
Greetings chynna, Good question! First you must remember that the Pharisee' were only religious on the outside. The only thing that they were concerned about was their own agenda. When they saw Christ heal the man's hand they immediately saw him as a threat to their way of life and religious leadership. They knew that they would loose their status in the community. Isn' it interesting that men who saw healing as being a sin on the Sabbath saw no sin in plotting a murder on the Sabbath? prayon |

757 | Is the Bible filled with TRUTH? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 47985 | ||
Greetings aggie, You were taught the truth. Every word of the King James Version of the bible is the truth. Do not question your salvation because of this man! The bible teaches us (sorry I can't remember the verse) that we are to weigh every word that we hear with the bible and see if they are in agreement. If it is not beware! There will come many false teachers in the end days. If your new pastor is teaching you things that do not line up with the word, or telling you that the bible has errors then it is time to find a new pastor who's teachings do teach that the bible is accurate. In answer to your question, All bibles are filled with the truth. I believe that the Kings James version is a beautiful version to read. However, to study God's word I like either the New King James version or the New Revised Standard version. I believe they are much easier to understand. However, no matter what version they are the word of God! You can find affordable bibles in many places. I suggest that you start by looking to the left of this box under information. God Bless, prayon |

Greetings terry44! Excellent quesion! The evil or woe talked about in verse 7 refers to physical adversity not moral sin. The New King James Version refers to it as calamity. God is ruler over all. Our lives are sprinkled by both. We need the physical adversity to grow spiritually. prayon |
