1 | What does the name "Jehovah" mean? | Ex 3:15 | Barach | 214728 | ||
The actual meaning of this name is significant as He is the Creator and Every one of His promises comes true - to the point that nonone can block his hand... the meaning has the connotation of One who causes to occur whatever he says. You heard the expression, "It's as good as done"... well that's the meaning of his name, "He Causes to Happen". So, His name actually denotes "action". | ||||||
2 | Cana wedding | John 2:1 | Barach | 212498 | ||
Of note, this Biblical account records the first miracle of Jesus - turning water into wine. It's of interest because it was his first miracle - not raising someone from the dead nor curing someone. So, drinking wine - in moderation of course - is NOT a sin of any sort. | ||||||
3 | where too find verse about too sensitive | Eccl 7:9 | Barach | 212497 | ||
Not sure the scriptures speak specifically with those words, but it's clear that the meaning of being too thin-skinned is portrayed in the Bible in a demonstrative manner: (From the amplified Bible) Eccl 7:9 "Do not be quick in spirit to be angry or vexed, for anger and vexation lodge in the bosom of fools." The NT bears witness to this same thought: James 1:19 Understand [this], my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear [a ready listener], slow to speak, slow to take offense and to get angry. James 1:20 For man's anger does not promote the righteousness God [wishes and requires]. |

4 | why the one when not the other | Gen 2:9 | Barach | 206365 | ||
If you read Gen 2:9, it would appear that these two trees were available to Adam and Eve. With plenty of food, there was no reason to eat of the 'tree of knowledge of good and bad'. But they did - after being tempted by the serpent (Satan) - because they desired something that didn't belong to them. After doing that, they weren't permitted to partake of the tree of life. The tree [all by] itself didn't provide eternal life, only God can do that (Rev 2:7). Hope this helps. | ||||||
5 | Melchizedek and Shem | Heb 7:3 | Barach | 203934 | ||
In refering to Melchizedek in Hebrews 7:3, Paul mentions that Melchizedek was 'without genealogy', thus it's unlikely that he was also Shem (who was Noah's son). | ||||||
6 | where in bible doesit say baptism saves | Acts 2:38 | Barach | 201961 | ||
Jesus set the example. All Christians must be baptized: Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?" Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:39 "For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself." Acts 2:40 And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on exhorting them, saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation!" Acts 2:41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. |

7 | What does the "knowledge of the Most Hig | Num 24:16 | Barach | 200224 | ||
Sometimes it helps to see what it is not: "1 Cor 3:18 Let no person deceive himself. If anyone among you supposes that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool [let him discard his worldly discernment and recognize himself as dull, stupid, and foolish, without true learning and scholarship], that he may become [really] wise. [Isa. 5:21.] 1 Cor 3:19 For this world's wisdom is foolishness (absurdity and stupidity) with God, for it is written, He lays hold of the wise in their [own] craftiness; [Job 5:13.]" Note how to acquire it: "Prov 2:1 My son, if you will receive my words And treasure my commandments within you, Prov 2:2 Make your ear attentive to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding; Prov 2:3 For if you cry for discernment, Lift your voice for understanding; Prov 2:4 If you seek her as silver And search for her as for hidden treasures; Prov 2:5 Then you will discern the fear of the LORD And discover the knowledge of God. Prov 2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding." |

8 | What was in the cup, wine? | Mark 14:25 | Barach | 191854 | ||
The context of Mark 14, particularly the surrounding verses of verse 25 make it clear that it was "wine" in the cup. Mark 14:23 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. Mark 14:24 And He said to them, "This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. Mark 14:25 "Truly I say to you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God." |

9 | TAIL BREARE'S IN THE N/T FOUND | Rev 9:19 | Barach | 191398 | ||
There you have it in the book of Revelation... hope this helps. | ||||||
10 | Comforting verse for non-believers | Psalm | Barach | 189132 | ||
For you Azure, this scripture (as it reminds us all of the unpredictablity of life): Eccl 9:11 I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor wealth to the discerning nor favor to men of ability; for time and chance overtake them all. I've found this scripture comforting: Rev 21:3,4 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." |

11 | Is Porn A Sin? | Col 3:5 | Barach | 187792 | ||
The fact that you ask is good... much of what you find in the Bible contains priciples which have broad applications and are timeless... Consider these scriptures and you decide whether a Christian should feed their mind on porn. In Colossians 3:5, sexual appetite is linked with covetousness - an inordinate desire for something that one does not have and covetousness is a form of idolatry. Also, consider Jesus words in Matthew 5:28 "but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." |
||||||
12 | Where was Samuel brought up from? | 1 Sam 28:7 | Barach | 184209 | ||
That's a good question. The context though indicates that what was happening was not approved by God. As you read through the context, divination is involved. Since divination was not approved by God, you can be sure that the Samuel mentioned in 1 Samuel 28:15 was indeed not Samuel. 1 Sam 28:5 When Saul saw the Philistine host, he was afraid; his heart trembled greatly. 1 Sam 28:6 When Saul inquired of the Lord, He refused to answer him, either by dreams or by Urim [a symbol worn by the priest when seeking the will of God for Israel] or by the prophets. [Prov. 1:24-30.] 1 Sam 28:7 Then Saul said to his servants, Find me a woman who is a medium [between the living and the dead], that I may go and inquire of her. His servants said, Behold, there is a woman who is a medium at Endor. 1 Sam 28:8 So Saul disguised himself, put on other raiment, and he and two men with him went and came to the woman at night. He said to her, Perceive for me by the familiar spirit and bring up for me the dead person whom I shall name to you. 1 Sam 28:9 The woman said, See here, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who are mediums and wizards out of the land. Why then do you lay a trap for my life to cause my death? 1 Sam 28:10 And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord lives, there shall no punishment come to you for this. 1 Sam 28:11 The woman said, Whom shall I bring up for you? He said, Bring up Samuel for me. 1 Sam 28:12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she screamed and she said to Saul, Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul! 1 Sam 28:13 The king said to her, Be not afraid; what do you see? The woman said to Saul, I see a god [terrifying superhuman being] coming up out of the earth! 1 Sam 28:14 He said to her, In what form is he? And she said, An old man comes up, covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground and made obeisance. 1 Sam 28:15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why have you disturbed me to bring me up? Saul answered, I am bitterly distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me and answers me no more, either by prophets or by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I should do. |

13 | Seasons changing, end of time? | Acts 1:7 | Barach | 182402 | ||
I have a couple of other scriptures, however before I provide them I would kindly suggest that coming up with an idea and then trying to see if the Bible confirms it doesn't sound like a good approach to understanding the Bible. If you think the idea came from a verse but can't find it, buy a concordance or use an on-line search engine to try and find the verse in question... hope this helps. Good day! | ||||||
14 | Did Moses studder or have a speach prob | Ex 6:12 | Barach | 182399 | ||
Hi John, I think we agree that he had a speech problem - the Bible does say that, just like I know I use d's sometimes in my spelling instead of t's - did you notice the spelling of "studderer" (it's a very old learning problem that surfaces from time-to-time). I defaulted to stutterer because the question itself alluded to this specific speech problem and I recalled that some commentaries suggest that this was the problem. (btw: I'm sincerely curious about what other speech problems it could be now that you brought it up). Stuttering is an interesting problem - under stress or fear, it gets worse. I knew someone personally who had this problem and when under stress or in a fearful situation (public speaking), he literally couldn't get some words out. I used to feel so bad for him. Tieing this back to Moses (a humble man to begin with), God was telling him to go speak to the powerful Pharoah. As you know, Pharoahs were viewed as gods on earth with the power to decide life or death if they didn't like what they heard. If Moses speech impediment was stuttering, he may have felt, 'I would never be able to articulate God's message due to my problem'. So, let me know what other speech problems you think it could be, now that we agree that the Bible is silent on this. (Of course, some may argue what's the difference anyway and they would be right, wouldn't they?) With Christian Love, Barach |

16 | Seasons changing, end of time? | Acts 1:7 | Barach | 182392 | ||
Are you referring to Acts 1:17? Because in that response from Jesus, he is indicating that only God knows precisely His own time-table, noone else. | ||||||
17 | don't just listen to gods word but do | James 1:22 | Barach | 182389 | ||
Of course, the thing to keep in mind is that the Bible is highly interpretive... you need to decide for yourself what interpretation is correct. Pray to God through Jesus' name. | ||||||
18 | Did Moses studder or have a speach prob | Ex 6:12 | Barach | 182387 | ||
You're right Kalos, the verse doesn't say "exactly" that he was a studderer. The Bible indicates he had a speech problem. What's your point? |
||||||
19 | the book of Job | Job 42:7 | Barach | 182384 | ||
1. Not sure what you mean by 'where was the spirit from', what spirit? Perhaps you're talking about Satan? 2. People back then were very familiar with Bible history and God's use of natural elements (i.e. the flood) to punish unrepentant bad people. However, self-righteous people have twisted these examples and mis-applied them to try to explain away why someone may be suffering at the hands of God for some error/sin. 3. It's not strange at all that Job received no comfort from the so-called comforters. They were basically saying that you are getting all that you deserve from God because of some sin. Like you said, what type of friend would do that? And, that's what you can learn from the book of Job. btw: Sincerity is not a test of accuracy. If his so-called three friend were sincere they were obviously sincerely "wrong" about their self-righteous assessment of Job's awful situation, even as God indicated in Job 42:7. A nice lesson for us too - don't judge. |

20 | Did Moses studder or have a speach prob | Ex 6:12 | Barach | 182382 | ||
I believe this is the verse you are looking for. Yes, it was Moses and he felt unqualified because of being a studderer. |
