3 | traditions of men? | Mark 7:8 | George | 227699 | ||
Dear Julia, When we look at the celebration of holidays such as Christmas and Easter, it is easy to see that a great deal of man's tradition is mixed with the actual biblical reason for the celebration. However it also easy to see that God intended that important events be celebrated and time taken to remember what God did. An example of this is the instructions given to the Israelites regarding the celebration of Passover, which points to the time that the nation Israel was freed from slavery to Egypt. The birth of Jesus, and His death and resurrection are the most important events in human history and it is very important to pause and remember what God has done. Peace to you, George |

4 | jewish priests dying behind tabernacle | Bible general Archive 4 | George | 227612 | ||
The passage that you may be thinking of is Leviticus 10:1-2. Aaron's two sons Nadab and Abihu came and offered incense that was not authorized before the Lord. They were then killed by fire from the presence of the Lord. Because of this incident, it is rumored that the priest going into the Holy of Holies would wear bells and be tied to a long rope. As long as people outside heard the bells, they knew that the priest was ok. But if the bells went silent, it would be feared that the priest was dead and his body could be dragged out using the rope without anyone else violating the Holy of Holies. Peace to you, George |

5 | Hell | Jer 32:35 | George | 227502 | ||
The passage that you quote (Jeremiah 32:35)is not referring to hell. It is talking of the detestable practice of child sacrifice to the Baals. These were idols that held a fire in their laps. Babies were placed onto the idols hands and rolled into the fire and presumably on to eternal life. God states that such a practice never entered into His mind. This is strictly from Satan himself. God does not condemn us to hell. John 3:18 states that we stand condemned already if we do not believe in Jesus. Hell is a natural consequence of any sin since we are created in God's image. Jesus' death on the cross and His victory over death are the only means of rescuing us from the torment of Hell. Believe me, the burning torment from our own sins is very real and never ends or lets up. | ||||||
6 | Paul wrote Titus in what time period? | Acts 27:7 | George | 227283 | ||
The only time that scripture records that Paul visited Crete was in Acts 27:7 while Paul was being transferred as a prisoner to Rome. There were two things that were somewhat unusual, at least to us, about Paul's imprisonment. The first is that he was allowed to be accompanied by friends. The second was that he was allowed go away with his friends so that they could minister to his needs. (Acts 27:3) Paul apparently used this time to speak to people about Jesus and some churches were started. The reason for the urgency that caused Paul to leave before elders could be appointed and the churches set up was that he was a prisoner aboard a ship that was desperately trying to find a safe place for winter. In answer to your questions, the time that Paul wrote to Titus was within one or two days from leaving Titus behind. It was probably written from on board the ship before they left Crete behind, and Paul and Titus and several others were traveling to Rome. I hope this will help. May god richly bless you. |

7 | what has to happen | 2 Thessalonians | George | 227100 | ||
According to II Thessalonians 2-1-12, the only thing that must happen is that the man of lawlessness is revealed. As I understand it, he will be a world dictator who is who will be seen by the majority of the world's population as the answer to many of the problems we face, but will in reality oppose Jesus Christ and those who believe in Him. The other things that we see happening, the trend towards electronic money, the prevalence of violence and unrest, and even the devastating earthquakes that have rocked the world in recent years, may make his coming possible but still not absolutely certain. This is shown in Matthew 24:4-8 | ||||||
8 | Question about Matt 8:34 | Matt 8:34 | George | 227080 | ||
It seems that Jesus gets a bad rap in this story that He doesn't deserve. The demons caused the destruction of the pigs, not Jesus. The demons requested to be sent into the pigs when ordered out of the men. The pigs panicked at the presence of the demons and bolted. This led to their panicked run into the sea. The response of the people requesting that Jesus leave, is probably similar to Peter's response to the large catch of fish in Luke 5:8. Peter fell at Jesus' feet and said, "depart from from me for I am a sinful man." In the light of Jesus' power and holiness, Peter saw his own sinful condition. This is probably what bothered the people of this region. Their own sinfulness in the light of Jesus' power and holiness. | ||||||
