1 | chronological question re: Job and Rahab | Job 9:13 | Biffbt | 228867 | ||
If the book of Job took place (1997-1827 BC) prior to the incident with Rahab (in Joshua, which covered a time period of 1422 -1362 BC ), why does Job mention her here in his response? | ||||||
2 | In Numbers 22:22 why was God angry with | Num 22:12 | Biffbt | 214853 | ||
I know this is a late response to this question, but I've always wondered the same thing. In Numbers 22:20, according to the KJV, God tells Balaam, "If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them;" I think the key word is IF. Then, the very next verse, 21 "And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab." I believe that Balaam went out to find them in his greediness, instead of following God's directions exactly, and waiting until they approached him again. Hope this helps! |

3 | Who are the "other" men and people? | Is 43:4 | Biffbt | 208696 | ||
Is "other men" and "other peoples" referring to Jesus? Or those who were defeated in past (like Amorites as predicted in Gen. 15)? Does it seem like God chose one "people" over another in the OT? Did He change His mind in the NT when He suddenly decides to love/accept all? | ||||||
4 | but where were they? | Rev 12:9 | Biffbt | 159644 | ||
I do agree that Satan was indeed talking to God. My question is: were they talking in heaven? Is there any reason to believe that since Satan was cast down to earth that he is "banished" from heaven permanantly? Or is it possible that he and God held the conversation about Job IN HEAVEN? Is there any Biblical proof one way or the other about Satan being allowed in Heaven to talk with God? | ||||||
5 | Where is Satan? | Not Specified | Biffbt | 159508 | ||
Where is Satan? I know that God created him, and has therefore limited his powers. But since he fell from heaven to the earth, has he been "banished" to the earth only? Can he go to heaven to talk with God (Job 1:7)? Do we know for sure that he was talking to God in heaven? | ||||||

7 | Who's at the circumcision debate in Acts | Not Specified | Biffbt | 137248 | ||
In Acts 15:2, Paul and Barnabas go to Jerusalem to meet with the "apostles and elders about this question" (of circumcision for new Gentile believers). I know that Peter and James are there, but are the other apostles--the remaining 11 who walked with Jesus plus Matthias (Acts 1:26)--in Jerusalem also? Are they the "sect of Pharisees" (Acts 15:5) who rose up and argued that circumcision was necessary? | ||||||

9 | Why did John leave? Was it a mistake? | Acts 13:13 | Biffbt | 136025 | ||
Why did John leave Barnabas and Paul and go back to Jerusalem? Do we know anything other than speculation? Why do some people think it was such a big mistake on John's part? Was it? Did John have a disagreement with Paul? Or was it just Barnabas and Paul arguing ABOUT John(in Acts 15)? Other than the mention of John Mark again in Colossians 4:10 and 2 Timothy 4:11, what else do we know about him after he leaves Paul and Barnabas? (I think he was Barnabas' cousin, right?) | ||||||
10 | Who is the "sinner" in this verse? | 2 Cor 2:5 | Biffbt | 132625 | ||
Do we have any idea to whom Paul is referring in this verse? Or is there any idea what punishment was given to this person that Paul thought was enough? | ||||||
11 | In 1Sam 11:12, who were the people? | 1 Sam 11:12 | Biffbt | 118818 | ||
Who are the people referenced in 1 Sam 11:12? Are they the same "worthless men" from 1 Samuel 10:27? If so, doesn't it seem that Saul did in fact know of their discontent? (according to the next verse)? | ||||||
12 | In 1Sam 10:27, who is the "he"? | 1 Sam 10:27 | Biffbt | 118815 | ||
In 1 Sam 10:27, to whom does the "he" refer at the end of the verse? Saul? And it says in the amplified version that he "was as if deaf"? Does that just mean Saul didn't realize people were against him as the new king? Do we know anything about the "worthless men" who didn't think Saul could deliver them? | ||||||
13 | Need better explanation on Ex21:24, etc. | Matt 5:1 | Biffbt | 116825 | ||
Our God is a fair and just God. I think that in the old testament, He demanded people to be treated fairly and wanted to punish people who did not treat others with love. HOWEVER, in the new testament, I feel that God has shown us a new way to live, and a kind of justice that comes only by knowing the lamb that was slain for us. Of course, I'm talking about Jesus who has paid for our sins with his life. I think the point Jesus was trying to make in Matthew 5:38 is that we should not worry about punishing the people who sin against us. That is God's job and that day will come. I think Jesus was explaining the message of love, which is the covenant we are called to live by according the the new testament. This is only my opinion. Hope it helps! |

14 | Was the holy spirit in Adam? | Not Specified | Biffbt | 116821 | ||
I was told that the same term used to mean "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life" (Gen. 2:7) is used in the new testament to describe when the apostles received the Holy spirit. If this is accurate information, does this mean that the holy spirit was with Adam? If so, when did it leave him? Was it just not passed down to his children? Was it because of sin? | ||||||

16 | Does Gen. 2:5 predict man's sin? | Gen 2:5 | Biffbt | 116816 | ||
Does Gen. 2:5 "predict" man's punishment for sin, that he would eventually sin and need to "cultivate" (i.e. work) the ground? | ||||||
17 | Jesus predicting the future? | Not Specified | Biffbt | 116589 | ||
Is it accurate to say that Jesus could "predict the future?" Obviously He knew He was to be crucified and resurrected. Is there any way to know how much He really knew ahead of time? (i.e. everyday things that happened) | ||||||

19 | what exactly was Jesus preaching? | Not Specified | Biffbt | 116587 | ||
There are several places in the gospels that say, for example, "And He preached the word to them." (Mark 2:2) In Luke, Jesus says he had to preach "the kingdom of God" (Luke 4: 43). I was just wondering what exactly He was preaching about at this point? The old law? The prophecies coming true? Explaining what would happen? Or just general "love your neighbor"-type stories? I'm not really even sure it matters...I was just wondering if anyone knew. | ||||||
