23 | Whatt was the dimension of the Ark | Exodus | Michael Draves | 99983 | ||
Since rsota's original question on 9/9/03 referred to Exodus it probably meant the Ark of the Covenant and not Noah's Ark. EdB gave the dimensions of the Ark of the Covenant on 9/9/03. | ||||||

27 | Pologomy Allowed? | Ex 21:10 | Michael Draves | 102439 | ||
The condemning of only small portions of a very large practice instead of the whole matter would imply it is allowed especially when it is so blatant. Murder is mentioned and it is also condemned - though killing was also sometimes commanded. And it may be implied that a man should have married his dead brother's sister even if married in the OT since it was not specifically forbidden. Do you want to make up more rules than the 613 the Jews find in the OT? I live in a country (and you probably do too) that only allow serial polygamy (AKA divorce-remarriage). There are countries that this is a real issue and the churches are causing major social problems by forcing divorce on polygamists wanting to join. | ||||||
28 | Pologomy Allowed? | Ex 21:10 | Michael Draves | 102443 | ||
I am not endorsing polygamy - just saying it was allowed. And I said in my first response that monogamy was the ideal. Lets just drop it. | ||||||
29 | Why is a Cross with Jesus not idolatry? | Deut 5:8 | Michael Draves | 151692 | ||
After a closer look at the "truecatholic" website the statement is not by the previous Pope. | ||||||
30 | Only God can make a promise? | Deut 23:22 | Michael Draves | 191450 | ||
James 4:13 - 4:16 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit." Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. Instead, you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that." But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil. |

31 | Who or what was sacrificed? | Judg 11:39 | Michael Draves | 199671 | ||
Ezek 20:25 "I also gave them statutes that were not good and ordinances by which they could not live; Ezek 20:26 and I pronounced them unclean because of their gifts, in that they caused all their firstborn to pass through the fire so that I might make them desolate, in order that they might know that I am the LORD."' |

32 | Who could the Israelites marry? | Ruth 1:4 | Michael Draves | 160135 | ||
Did the exclusion from the assembly of the Lord for ten generations start with Balaam or did it start whenever an intermarriage occured? Nehemiah 13 recounts an interpretation that takes the exclusion to last forever. David and Solomon shouldn't have been allowed in the assembly if it still applied in their time. Was the only problem with foreign wives their foreign gods which Ruth either never followed or she abandoned? |

33 | 1Sam14:33Why did they roll a large stone | 1 Sam 14:33 | Michael Draves | 167245 | ||
Saul may not have sinned when he put the people "under oath" not to eat till evening but he at least acted foolishly. His son, unaware of the oath, broke it. The people being weary finally did sin by eating meat with blood (Gen 9:4). Saul stops the sinning by having a stone set up for proper slaughtering of the animals. This might be taken as the same as building the altar but this slaughtering at most could only be considered a peace offering (Lev 3,7) since it could be eaten by the people. Since there is no concern about eating the fat these are probably not Peace Offerings. There is at least one priest mentioned in this chapter and there may be more who are the ones Saul sent out amoung the people to get the people to bring the animals to the stone to be slaughtered. Since God does not answer a prayer it is found out by lot that Jonathan had violated the oath. There must have been separate sacrifices for the sin of the people who ate the animals with their blood for them not to consider this as the reason for God not answering the prayer. | ||||||
34 | Did King David know about Absalom? | 2 Sam 18:14 | Michael Draves | 157897 | ||
Hi Makarios If David knew about Absalom being killed by Joab I would have expected David to mention it as a reason for Solomon to deal with Joab unless David knew Solomon would have wanted Absalom as a rival to die anyway so mentioning it might not help David motivate Solomon to do what he wanted. Have you come up with a better reason than an argument from silence? Michael |

35 | How was Esther called? | Esther | Michael Draves | 103141 | ||
Esther was "called" by Mordecai with Hathach as messenger. The book of Esther is the only book that does not have any fragments amoung the Dead Sea Scrolls - possibly because the marriage to a foreigner was offensive. For information not in the texts the only source would be rabbinic writings which is of questionable value. Some imply her husband to be the father of Darius as in Daniel 9:1. | ||||||
36 | Philistines still survive today | Jer 47:4 | Michael Draves | 199009 | ||
How did you come to the conclusion that the Palestinians are descendents of the Philistines? I haven't digested the evidence. Some claim pottery of Philistine "sea people" is similar to Mycenean. DNA reports may show similarity between Jews and Palestinians. http://bioanthropology.huji.ac.il/pdf/Nebel2000.pdf High-resolution Y chromosome haplotypes of Israeli and Palestinian Arabs reveal geographic substructure and substantial overlap with haplotypes of Jews http://www.liebertonline.com/doi/abs/10.1089/109065703321560976 Y-Chromosom DNA Haplotypes in Jews: Comparisons with Lebanese and Palestinians search in http://www.bethel.edu for PhilistinesPOTW.pdf PHILISTINES by David M.Howard, Jr. http://books.google.com/books search for "Biblical Peoples" http://www.jogg.info/11/coffman.pdf A MOSAIC OF PEOPLE: THE JEWISH STORY AND A REASSESSMENT OF THE DNA EVIDENCE |

39 | Were Women ever Crucified? | Matt 23:34 | Michael Draves | 99680 | ||

40 | Luke 23:43 | Luke 23:43 | Michael Draves | 151569 | ||
Vatican manuscript 1209 appears to be Codex Vaticanus from the 4th century. On page 74 of "Manuscripts of the Greek Bible: An Introduction to Palaeography" Metzger says "Unfortunately the beauty of the original has been spoiled by a later scribe who found the ink faded and traced over every letter afresh, omitting only those letters and words that he believed to be incorrect. ... Accent and breathing marks, as well as punctuation, have been added by a later hand." | ||||||
