1 | Self-test of Challenging Bible Questions | Bible general Archive 1 | GodsWord4me | 69222 | ||
Here are the answers to the self-test, see what you come up with on your own and then check and see. I have gone to each scripture reference and found them to be legitimate. If you got as many wrong as I did, maybe there is still some more to learn about the Word of God. (Even if you got them all correct, I still encourage you to did deeper... Is this not what Christianity is about, Knowing God, and comming to know Him more and more that we might have a loving and fearing relationship with God?) So without further ado: 1) C-Adam had been dead 126 years, Genesis 5:1-29 2) C-Abraham, Genesis 12:10 3) B-His hand, Exodus 14:21 4) D-Abimelech, Judges 9:1-22 5) A-Jonathan, II Samuel 21:20-21 6) D-42, Matthew 1:17 7) A-153, John 21:11 8) B-He was teleported by the Holy Spirit, Acts 8:39-40 9) D-He fell to the ground after a great flash of light, Acts 9:3-4 10) B-Nothing. since there will be no temple; Revelation 21:22 |

4 | Is 1 Sam 2:10 b prophecy? | 1 Sam 2:10 | GodsWord4me | 65604 | ||
Is Hannah's acclamation in 2:10 (part b) a prophecy for the comming of a king of Israel? At this point in history, Israel was ruled by judges and priests. It was not until her son (Samuel) was in old age that the people asked for: "a king to rule over us, as other countries have." If this is prophecy of a comming king, is it referring to Saul, David, or the Messiah? | ||||||
5 | Should we bias our religious studies? | Lev 18:22 | GodsWord4me | 60641 | ||
To all the scholars out there, hungry for the TRUTH about the Word of God...I pose this question (maybe you can help me.) In my first Bible class at a Christian University, we were instructed to see the Bible as a literary work instead of from a faith perspective, by the view of only the "proven facts". I propose that to understand any religious writings, practices, or belief systems, a true student must: if not accept it for themselves, then accept it from the unique perspective / viewpoint of the follower, the founder, or the author of the faith-based text. For example: I read an account of a man who went to China on a trip and was fascinated by Zen Buddism. He had an encounter with a religious order of monks that had mastered target archery. The queer thing about their mastery of this sport was that they neither aimed nor had their eyes open when they fired the arrow. The man tried desperately to accomplish this same semi-miraculous task. Once he asked one of the more approachable monks how they were able to do this and he replied, " We don't have to think about it, it comes naturally." The man did not understand and puzzled asked him to clarify so the monk replied, "To know (Zen Buddism) is to experience it, you must find it before it will be clear." So the man forgot about everything and studied under this monk for more than twenty years. This went on until he was able to connect the arrow in the exact center of the bulls-eye without aiming without looking, without thinking about it, just as he had seen the monks do on his first visit. The primary point of that story is: to understand religious beliefs should we not view them from the perspective (while maintaining our skepticism) of the race or group of those who have this faith system. I propose that studying a faith without maintaining a bias or viewpoint (particularly the original one of the belief) is ineffective and leads only to universal facts. Another example would be: In study of the Hebrew scriptures, Take out the statements accepted only because of faith (ie... that YHVH delivered the nation of Israel out of slavery, Noah actually took 2 [and in some cases 14] of every animal on a huge boat built when he was 600, etc) and all you have is blunt fact, which is rarely definitive of the faith (religion) as a whole. Such things include: laws (The fact that they were written, not that they were Divinely commanded), earliest recorded history (ie: locations, existence of a race, etc, and scientific-based, geographically sound, historical events or people. I argue that in studying the Bible, it is the same way. When a statement of faith was inserted in the original manuscript, it was for a purpose, not to be discarded as a perspective but as a way of explaining that which human minds can not understand (for as a species we have much yet to learn) in terms they can accept and derive wisdom and discernment from. My challenge is that we'd look past our personal biases and attain the point of view of the believer that it is clear why a text says a particular thing, or reveals only part of need to know information. Many times the "need to know " information is acquired by accepting the 'givens' that faith in a faith-based text provides. So my question is: Does the extensive study of a particular belief (either foreign to or accepted by the student) require all biases to be stripped away, or does a better understanding of the believing party's viewpoint become essential? Is there a middle ground? And if so, to what extent should a student have bias for, or remain critical of, the concerned viewpoint? --Please send your relevant personal opinions, findings, and discussions to LghtWyTrth@apu.edu |
