Greetings, In this verse Christ was prophesing that about the great tribulation at which time the Anti-Christ would desecrate the Temple of God. Buy saying He hoped it wasn't winter He was saying that this will happpen quickly, in a seconds notice the believers would have to flee to the mountains to avoid death. The Christians also remembered his warning in 70 AD when the Roman General Titus destroyed Jerusalem. Many fled to the mountains of Perea at this time to avoid slavery and death. prayon | ||||||

825 | Similarities of Moses and Jesus? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 35184 | ||
I am trying to put a list together of the similarities between Moses and Jesus. Some are: Both were a mediator between God and man. Both did great miracles never done before. Both went for 40 days and nights without food and water. Both changes the systems of sacrifices and introduced new rituals. Both of them changes the priesthood. Both were shepherds. Both had unusual cradles and a Miriam (Mary) to watch over them. Both of them escaped the slaughter of babies. Both of them gave up riches and kingdoms to be a servant. Both became servants in order to free the people. Bothe were men of the greatest faith and deep prayer. And at the time: No one recognized their gratness. The people were slaves (Moses time slaves to Pharoah, Jesus time slave to sin and Herod's taxes). The people always wanted more. The people wanted to stone and kill them. Can you please give me more similarities? Thank you. prayon |

826 | Why would they die? | Num 4:20 | prayon | 35178 | ||
In Numbers the Lord told Moses that "divisions" were resposnsible for different tasks related to the tabernacle. The duties of the Kohath division was to carry the ark and other items in the tabernacle after they had been covered by Aaron. They were instructed to carry them without touching them. Why were they to die if they touched them? prayon | ||||||

828 | For Heisthe1 a question. | Ephesians | prayon | 34645 | ||
Good Morning, I agree with you that depression is not of God. That wasn't exactly what I meant by my question. Many people think that depression is just a state of mind, that anyone who is depressed can just snap out of it whenever they want. What I was wondering is if you think depression is a state of mind or if it is a disease process such as diabetes? prayon | ||||||
829 | For Heisthe1 a question. | Ephesians | prayon | 34530 | ||
Greetings Heisthe1, In reading your answer to Iamahearer I was wondering what you meant when you said that "depression does not come from God? prayon | ||||||
830 | My wife is cursed,what can I do? | Ephesians | prayon | 34529 | ||
Greetings, One thing you can do for her is let her see the love of Christ that lives in you. Be an example of how rewarding acceptance of Jesus and living for Him can be. Many have come to Christ because of how a Christian carried themselves. Pour your love out on her. I suggest that you go to www.gospelcom.net/cdp/ for additional ways that you can help your wife. The site is called Christian Depression pages and is "a compassionate source of information for Christians with depression and those caring for them". Depression is not a "state of mind" but can be a very debilitating disease process involving a chemical imbalance. Also continue to pray for her, stand in the gap for her and know that Christ works all things together for the good. If I can be of further assistance concerning the depression feel free to e mail me. I have a lot of knowledge in that area. prayon |

831 | Moses saw God's face and didn't die why | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 34525 | ||
Greetings Lew, Moses never saw God's face because indeed anyone who saw God's face would die. In Exo. 33:13 Moses asks God to see His ways. God grants this request. He tells Moses that He will pass before him but while He passes before Him he will place Moses in a cleft of a mountain rock, presumable Mt. Sinai, and covered him with His hand until He had passed by. He then removed His hand and allowed Moses to see His back (v.23). This seems to be a contradiction of Exo 24:10 where the elders are said to of "seen the God of Isreal". The contradiction is only on the surface. What the elders really saw was only "something like a pavement made of sapphire" under His feet. Isaiah only saw the skirt of His robe (Is 6:1) and Jacob, who wrestled with the angel of the Lord saw only a preincarnate appearance of Jesus Christ (Hos 12:4). If you can get me the verses of the incidents with Noah and Enoch I am sure I can clarify them for you. prayon |

833 | why the need for a sacrifice? | Gen 2:17 | prayon | 34169 | ||
Greetings. Romans 6:23 tells us that the wages of sin is death. When one sins there must be a death to pay for the sin. God allowed the transference of sin upon the animal and then the animal was sacrificed for our sins. Hope this helps. prayon | ||||||
834 | writer of John,date, purpose | John | prayon | 34085 | ||
Greetings Iquest, the book of John was written by John to prove conclusively that Jesus is the Son of God amd that all who believe in Him will have eternal life. John was written from a theologian point of view. My reference says that it was written after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD but before John's exile to the island of Patmos. Therefore it was probably written about 85-90 AD. John presents Jesus as the Divine Son of God and he emphasizes the wisdom of Christ. There are 6 miracles in John that are not included in the other gospels as is the Upper Room Discourse (ch 14-17). The significant theme in John is that belief in Jesus is required for salvation. |

835 | I need discussion questions from Nahum 3 | Gen 1:1 | prayon | 34084 | ||
Greetings! In verse 4 it talks about how Ninevah used its beauty, prestige and power to seduce other nations. She was beautiful on the outside. But on the inside she was vicious and deceitful. Beneath beauty sometimes lies seduction and death. Sometimes we let people seduce us by their beauty and lure us into sin. A lesson in verse 8-10 is that no power on earth can protect us from God's judgement or be a suitable power in our lives. Don't insist on learning through personal experience, instead heed the lessons that history has already taught us. We don't like the idea of being ruled harshly, so we do what we can to stay on good terms with a powerful leader. Deep down we would like that type of power. But power is seductive so we should not scheme to get it. Those who lust after power are always destroyed. Hope this helps some. prayon |

836 | Plese give some history on Boaz | Ruth 2:1 | prayon | 34040 | ||
Greetings Judy, It is also interesting that Boaz was the son of Salmon, one of the two spies that entered into the promised land. The two spies were saved from death by Rahab. Salmon went on to marry Rahab and produced Boaz. (see Matt 1:5). Boaz went on to father Obed who was the grandfather of King David. prayon | ||||||
837 | Why no sacrifices for Jews today? | Exodus | prayon | 34039 | ||
The Isrealites in the OT days were required to give animal sacrifices to the Lord. When Jesus Christ was crucified He became the perfect sacrifice and put an end to the need to sacrifice the animals. However, the Jewish religion believes that Jesus was not the Son of God, that He was just a prophet. Since they, therefore, are still under the OT laws why do they not offer sacrifices for their sins today? | ||||||
838 | having to work the sabbath | Matt 12:1 | prayon | 33810 | ||
No I am not. Exo 20:9-10 tells us that we are to work 6 days and the 7th day is to be a day of rest which we are to dedicate to the Lord. This day does not have to be on Sunday if you can not dedicate this day to the Lord because of work. We are told to take one day a week and dedicate a day to the Lord to worship Him and reflect on His goodness and mercy. I, as a nurse, have to do this on other days besides Sunday. prayon | ||||||
839 | having to work the sabbath | Matt 12:1 | prayon | 33808 | ||
Greetings Brac, Being a nurse, I too, have to occationally work on Sunday. I want to refer you to the reply I made to Dino concerning what he said in reply to your question. Also, whoever needs to work on the Sabbath should set aside one day of their choosing and make it a day dedicated to God. Exo 20:9-11 tells us that we are to work 6 days but the 7th day is a Sabbath (the observance of a day or time of rest: Funk and Wagnalls Dictionary). Any day can be our Sabbath it does not have to be on Sunday. prayon | ||||||
840 | having to work the sabbath | Matt 12:1 | prayon | 33806 | ||
Greetings Dino, I disagree. The 10 commandments state "Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy", (Exo 20:8-11). We are no more rid of this commandment than we are any other commandment. We are still to remember the sabbath and we are to keep it holy. The reference you are referring to in Matt. 12 concerns the words that the priests had with Jesus because he allowed His disciples to pick grain on the Sabbath. Ordinary people were not allowed to do any work on the Sabbath, not even light a fire. The priest's work however doubled on the Sabbath (see Num 28:9-10). Therefore what Jesus was saying is that God's service takes precedence over Sabbath rules. The argument is that if priests who work in the temple on the Sabbath are guiltless because they further the worship of God, how much more are the disciples guiltless because they are serving Christ and obeying Him in their actions on the Sabbath. This exchange in no way deletes the Sabbath. prayon |
