1 | rope on the priest ankle | Ex 28:33 | Ed O. | 240253 | ||
Bible Question:In the Old Testament times when a priest entered the Holy of Holies, was a rope tied to him in case he died so that he could be pulled out? Bible Answer: The Holy of Holies (also called the Holy Place, Ex. 28:35) was the most sacred room within the Tabernacle or the Temple. The High Priest was allowed to enter this room only once a year on the Day of Atonement. When He entered, he had to wear the clothes that God specified in Exodus 28. If he did not, he would die. Nothing is said in the Old Testament about a priest having a rope tied around his ankle or waist. However, we do know that bells, blue and purple pomegranates, and scarlet material were attached to the bottom of the High Priest's garment. You shall make pomegranates, woven of violet. purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen twined, with gold bells between them. v35 Aaron shall wear it when ministering, that its tinking may be heard as he enters and leaves the Lord's presence in the sanctuary else he will die . . . (NAB)Ex.28:33-35 They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around on the hem of the robe, alternating a bell and a pomegranate all around on the hem of the robe for the service, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. (NASB) Ex. 39:25-26 As long the bells could be heard, others would know that he was still alive and that he had been accepted by God. A reference to a rope being attached to the ankle or leg of a priest has not been found in the Bible, Josephus, Philo, or in the writings of the church fathers. But our Jewish friends state that this was the ancient practice. Here is a quote from a Jewish rabbi, According to the account of our rabbis preserved in the Talmud, the High Priest wore a rope around his waist as he made his way - absolutely alone - into the holy of holies. The rope he wore served a very practical purpose. Because, in the event that the High Priest said or did something wrong, it was generally believed that he would be struck dead for his offense. Yes, right then and there. As only the High Priest could enter the Holy of Holies, the rope enabled his assistants to safely pull the corpse of the High priest out of the inner-sanctum in the event of mishap. (www.tbsoc.com/sermons/donnellyk5763.html) The absence of a historical reference in some significant documents is not proof that the High Priest did not have a rope tied around his ankle in later times. Not everything is recorded in books and parchments. The printing press, CD burners, tape recorders, and typewriters have not always existed in mass quantities |

If God would accept the offering the priest would shake causing the bells to ring and the people outside would know that it was accepted, if not accepted the priest was slain and the rope around the ankles was used to pull the dead priest out. That's the way it was explained to me. ED O. |

3 | How can I understand the Bible? | Bible general | Ed O. | 240242 | ||
Hi Wendy, A very good source of understanding the Bible from Genesis to Revelation quickly, is "The New Panorama Bible Study Course #1". By Fleming H. Revell division of Baker Book House Grand Rapids, Michigan 49516 ISBM 0-8007-1578-0 It's a visual aid to bible study. It's a book of about 15 pages (8" x 16") When each page is spread open you'll be able to visualize about a 1,000 years of Bible history. Then starting with the creation until the new heavens and earth it's a summery of the 6,000 years of Bible history. It's like a road map it gives a birds eye view of the entire Bible. Following the creation story, it begins with Adam and Eve and throughout all of the pages a red line is used to show how God used various individuals until the birth of Christ followed by His ministry then up until the present day. The study is very effective to visualize and understand what will take place during the Great Tribulation period. In picture form along with the accompanied Bible verses it explains what the Bible is all about.----After knowing this then yes if you are Christian ask the Holy Spirit to teach you as you read the Scriptures and don't get bogged down when you don't understand something because the next time around you'll get it. Ed O. |

4 | belief in hell? | Rev 20:15 | Ed O. | 240081 | ||
Edb You state, "However you are correct we do not fully understand how one can be cast into the Lake of Fire and tormented by the fire and yet not be consumed." You are correct we don't understand how can that be, However; we don't understand How Moses saw a burning bush that wasn't consumed by fire, from this account we should know that it's possible even if we don't understand it. Ed O. | ||||||
5 | belief in hell? | Bible general | Ed O. | 240079 | ||
The rich man died and went to hell Luke 16:23. Verse 25 says that he was in agony from the fire. Also yes, billions of people will be going to hell, Jesus tells us so when He said in Mat 7:13,"Enter through the narrow gate, For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and MANY enter through it. v14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a FEW find it." This tells me yes billions will go to hell or Jesus wasn't being truthful here which is impossible. Ed O. | ||||||

7 | Unpardonable sin | Matt 12:31 | Ed O. | 239927 | ||
Did you really commit the unpardonable sin? You called the atonement of the cross worthless. Is that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? Some people claim that by being water baptized (John 3:5) they are born again making the atonement of the cross useless. Also the same people believe that an unbloody sacrifice ritual does the same work of atonement as Jesus did on the cross are they too guilty of the unpardonable sin? ------- On a personal experience. a good friend of mine referred to the Holy Spirit the speaking in tongues calling it a name I won't mention here. The end days of his life were very sad. He wondered if he was even saved anymore. What he did concerning divorcing and remarrying two woman several times over made me wonder too,if God hadn't send him a delusion which is described in 2 Thes 2:11. Ed O. | ||||||
8 | what is the meaning of john 20:23? | John 20:23 | Ed O. | 239925 | ||
The Catholic church claims from this verse John 20:23, is from where priests are authorized to hear confessions and forgive sins. However; there were more people present than only the 12 apostles when Jesus spoke these words. Luke 24:33 describes that scene with many disciples being there including Cleopas and his companion too plus the 12 apostles. Ed O. | ||||||
9 | Anyone take notes during Yashua's life? | NT general | Ed O. | 239847 | ||
There was no need for taking notes. Jesus said in John 14:26, "But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." All Things and Everything Jesus has said. Ed O. | ||||||

Jasper 72 In your post 239824 You assume that the "born of water" refers to baptism which it does not.-----Also baptism shows an act of repentance Mat 3:11 it is not necessary for salvation as the thief on the cross didn't need it. Mark 16:16 He that believeth (believe what? The gospel which is Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead and is in heaven) and is baptized (an act of repentance) shall be saved.. Ed O. | ||||||

13 | Ecumenical Movement Avoid or Not? | Bible general | Ed O. | 239752 | ||
To Ed B, John 17:21, seems to be quoted very often, " that all of them may be one." However; the verse before that states, that Jesus prays that all will heed to the message that the apostles taught in order for all to be one. Very little attention is given to that part of John 17:21.-----Luke 12:51, Jesus speaks," Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No! I tell you but division. v52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. v53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter. etc." etc ------Unity by saying, "Let's all get along", sounds good but it could be a trap of deception. That's why in these End Times we are warned by Jesus not to be deceived. After I viewed that video of the Pope, Copland and Tony Palmer I'm convinced that the Reformation is not over with. Ed O. |

14 | Ecumenical Movement Avoid or Not? | Bible general | Ed O. | 239723 | ||
Hi Ed B, What the pope and Bishop Palmer were saying was that we are all brothers in Christ and the Lutherans and the Methodists have signed an agreement voiding the difference of the Reformation by grace alone. We are now all Catholics. The video went viral anyone can view it. However; www.amazingfacts.org pastor Doug comments about it. ----Jesus speaking to the apostles in Mat 24:4 starts His discourse by saying, "Watch out that no one deceives you." Could this video be that prophecy? Ed O. |

I recently watched a video on line of some type of a conference, where Bishop Tony Palmer spoke saying the Reformation is over with. Pope Francis also spoke to the crowd via video reiterating the same. Is this ecumenical movement something to avoid or not? Ed O. |

18 | Who's the "her" ? | Rev 18:4 | Ed O. | 239689 | ||
Thank you for your reply Jalek. You say that Rev 17 refers to a nation similar to the Old T. Babylon but rev 18 which tells us to come out of her speaks of a city in verse 10 that will be destroyed and not a nation.----- Also who's the "she" and who's the Babylon which Peter speaks about in 1Peter 5:13? Aren't they connected with Rev 18? Isn't there some commentary which explains for certain who to come out of. It doesn't make any sense to me for God to warn us to come out of her when we don't know for certain who to come out of. Ed O. |
