41 | did Romans crucify thieves | Matt 27:38 | BMyers | 222464 | ||
To answer the question in a little more detail, the person is partially correct. Roman citizens were exempt from crucifixion and when Constantine became ruler, he abolished crucifixion. (ref Unger's Bible Dictionary) Brad |

42 | what took place between noah and God | Genesis | BMyers | 222072 | ||
That makes a little more sense. I was confused by the post and the response. Although, I think reading Genesis 8 should give the poster a fairly good idea what occurred, I like seeing the rainbows. Brad |

I'm a little confused. You posted a question and then answered it yourself. Have you read Genesis chapter 8? Brad |

44 | ADULTRY VS BIGAMY #3 | Ex 21:10 | BMyers | 221937 | ||
I know a good realtor if you need any help. :) More seriously, verses have been given that shows God's choice was for one man and one woman. We can see that God, sometimes allows things that He didn't desire that away. The example I'm thinking of is divorce. God never wanted a marriage (Matt 19:6 and Malachi 2:16) to separate. Yet, Mosaic law allowed for it (Matt 19:8) and Jesus made it a more specific (Matt 19:9). So we can see from this example, that marriage was originally setup to never end, but through the Mosaic law and man's corruption, divorce was allowed, not that it was God's preferred way. Following this train of thought, marriage was meant for one man and one woman, but God allowed the change even though that wasn’t his preferred way. Yet adultry, which is sex outside of marriage has never been approved. Did I make any sense? Brad |

46 | Eye for an Eye | Ex 21:24 | BMyers | 221265 | ||
Just to add a footnote, murder is defined as the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought (Webster) were as kill is defined as to deprive of life : cause the death of (Webster). So if the verse was translated as 'kill' then there would be an issue, but when translated as 'murder', there is no issue with capital punishment (based on the definitions). Brad |
||||||
47 | Eye for an Eye | Ex 21:24 | BMyers | 221264 | ||
I believe thou shall not kill is actually an incorrect translation, the correct should be shall not murder, which I believe most modern translations have corrected. Exo 20:13 "You shall not murder. Brad |

48 | Who were the 1st Jews (Judah's tribe ?) | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 221084 | ||
I've pretty much quit worrying about what others call me (as long as they don't call me late for supper) and worry about what the Lord thinks and I think the title that would fit you Doc, is a free child of God who is an heir by His grace. Gal 3:22 But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. Gal 3:23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. Gal 3:24 So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. Gal 3:25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, Gal 3:26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. Gal 3:27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise. (ESV) Brad |

49 | omitted scripture ..BRAD K | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 220871 | ||
My mistake and accept my apology (unfortunately I've been off work today fighting a nasty little cold bug and have lots of cold medicine in me). The short answer is the manuscripts that KJV relied on verses what other translations use (example the Dead Sea Scrolls where not available to the KJV translators). Just because the statement appears to be a good statement, doesn't mean it was in the original text. How do we know what was in the original text? By comparing various manuscripts, codex, and fragments. Without this turning into a way longer post than I feel up to right now, some scriptures that come to mind is the ending of Mark, the story of the woman caught in adultery, and the ending of the Lord's prayer. Many of the modern translations (NASB, ESV, NIV, NLT, NKJV) make notes of scripture that may or may not belong there. Hope this help. Brad (Example of a tranlating problem, if I say "boy thats cool", what do I mean? Do I mean it is phyiscally cool or is it something I find fascinating? (I know a very simple example just trying to give you something to think on.)) |

My opinion on the passage is that Ham did something wrong. We are suppose to honor our parents (Exodus 20:12 and Deuteronomy 5:16). In the NT we can see that the Jesus even mentioned honoring your parents and how the leaders of the time had corrupted this commandment (Matthew 15:3-9). Ham appears to be dishonoring his father by his behavior when he found his father drunk. In my opinion the reason he was cursed was because of his failure to honor his father. Brad |

Quick definition, a commentary is a person (or could be down by a group of people) opinion about a subject. There are numerous commentaries on the market, some good, some not so good. You have large multi-volume sets and shorter one book commentaries. Matthew Henry Commentary was written in early 1700s (I believe 1706). It is freely available online to read and review and that is why I selected it. A commentary, cannot be used to replace the Word of God, but it can help at times to bring some understanding. The Bible is the ultimate authority, the commentary is a personal opinion of the Bible. I'm trying to keep this post short, but having little luck with that. Basically, a well written commentary is a good resource to help further you Bile study, but cannot be used to replace the Bible. I have several commentaries and will refer to them once I have drawn my opinion on a passage to see how it lines up with the Bible scholars. Hope I was able to explain it well enough. Brad |

According to The New Manners and Customs of Bible Times by Ralph Gower, clothes were washed in swift streams or when that wasn't available, flat rocks and pounding the dirt out from them. Brad |

Taken from MHC: III. Ham's impudence and impiety: He saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren, v. 22. To see it accidentally and involuntarily would not have been a crime; but, 1. He pleased himself with the sight, as the Edomites looked up on the day of their brother (Obad. 12), pleased, and insulting. Perhaps Ham had sometimes been himself drunk, and reproved for it by his good father, whom he was therefore pleased to see thus overcome. Note, It is common for those who walk in false ways themselves to rejoice at the false steps which they sometimes see others make. But charity rejoices not in iniquity, nor can true penitents that are sorry for their own sins rejoice in the sins of others. 2. He told his two brethren without (in the street, as the word is), in a scornful deriding manner, that his father might seem vile unto them. It is very wrong, (1.) To make a jest of sin (Prov. xiv. 9), and to be puffed up with that for which we should rather mourn, 1 Cor. v. 2. And, (2.) To publish the faults of any, especially of parents, whom it is our duty to honour. Noah was not only a good man, but had been a good father to him; and this was a most base disingenuous requital to him for his tenderness. Ham is here called the father of Canaan, which intimates that he who was himself a father should have been more respectful to him that was his father. |

Aileen, you may need to do a little more research. Reading three different commentaries, the sin was not seeing him naked, nor does Lev 18 talk about seeing them "undressed" but the phrase is "uncover their nakedness", which in two books I have checked, both concur that this was referring to sexual relationship, not the actual nakedness. Brad |

56 | Noah | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 220507 | ||
I'm not a Bible scholar, but I would say no. The reason being, in Leviticus I believe it is dealing more with the sex, than actually viewing of the body. "Uncover her nakedness" is a euphemism, if my understanding of the OT Hebrew is correct, that would be dealing with having sexual relationship. I don't believe that Ham had or tried to have sex with his father, which is the reason why I think it has more to do with respect and how he dealt with finding his father in this state than the actually seeing his father naked.

57 | Revelation 20:15 | Revelation | BMyers | 220486 | ||
Reading the passage and not just one verse reveals more about. Act 16:30 Then he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Act 16:31 And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." Act 16:32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. Act 16:33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family. (ESV) So you can see that the family was also involved, it wasn't just him alone. They preached to his whole family and they were baptized. Through his question of wanting to know how he could be saved, his whole family was saved. |

First, the Lord is the only one who truly knows the condition of a person’s soul. What the Bible says on salvation: Romans 3:10, 23 10as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 10:13 13for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." John 14:6 6Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. John 1:12 12But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, Revelation 3:20 20'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. Romans 10:9 9that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; (NASB) |
