1 | complications caused by sex | Ex 22:16 | case_00 | 105790 | ||
Thanks justme. You did a much better job of developing my thoughts than I did. Sometimes people (who aren't anything close to being ideal for each other) get into a dating situation and end up having sex. That's wrong that it happens, but could marriage possibly be another wrong for the couple (2 wrongs don't make a right)? I guess that the Bible doesn't go into much detail about this, but that's mainly why I'm asking. What scriptural wisdom can be applied to these kinds of situations? Thanks, Ryan |

2 | Government punishes the bad, not good? | Rom 13:3 | case_00 | 105787 | ||
Thanks for your response, but my question was that it seems that Paul was not accurate in his description of Government (I know he wasn't, but I don't understand how he wasn't). He says that Government punishes those who do bad and doesn't punish those who do good. But we do know that the government did persecute those who did good. How is this resolved without contradiction? | ||||||
3 | Don't eat meat torn by animals | Ex 22:31 | case_00 | 105762 | ||
Wow, thanks for that insight on the socialization with idolatrous people. That makes a lot of sense since the Israelites were so drawn to become like them (as we especially see later in the years of Israel). | ||||||
4 | Don't eat meat torn by animals | Ex 22:31 | case_00 | 105761 | ||
I agree that we should always obey God, even when we don't know why God wants us to do something. But I think that knowing why God wants us to do something helps us to see and understand the love of God and his heart for His people. | ||||||
5 | sex leading to marriage? | Ex 22:16 | case_00 | 105756 | ||
Thanks for your responses Makarios and Searcher. I have another question about his one though. Do you think that today a couple who was "Christian" but didn't value sex, (possibly with multiple partners) should then be expected to marry their partner? Could you also answer the question when applied to a couple who didn't really get along, but ended up getting pregnant? Do you think the two should then be expected to get married? |

6 | government persecution? | Rom 13:3 | case_00 | 105725 | ||
In Romans 13, Paul says that the government doesn’t punish the good, but many Christians were persecuted by Rome. How is this resolved? Thanks, Ryan |

7 | How does Jesus' grief almost kill him? | Mark 14:34 | case_00 | 105724 | ||
How does His grief almost kill him? Thanks. Ryan |

8 | Moses and the face of God | Ex 33:11 | case_00 | 105723 | ||
Moses talks to God face to face. But then how come in Ex. 33:20, God says that he couldn't live if he saw his face? Thanks. Ryan |

9 | Is this heresy? | Ex 32:13 | case_00 | 105722 | ||
I wasn't sure what he was getting at, but I think it was that there are more stars than there are descendents of Abraham. If that's his question, whether or not this verse is actually true, then I have the answer. It's true, but I think that it might be interpreted best, when in light of other scripture. God made the promise in Gen. 13:16, and when he said that Abraham's descendents would be like the stars, he meant that the difficulty in numbering them, not that they would be the same number. The amplified says in Gen. 28:14 that they would be as countless as the stars. I hope this helps! Ryan |

10 | enjoy yourself while you're alive | Deut 20:6 | case_00 | 105720 | ||
Hi, Why does he say to enjoy your vineyard before you go to battle in case you die? It sounds like "eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." Or, make sure to enjoy yourself while you're alive. Ryan |

11 | Don't eat meat torn by animals | Ex 22:31 | case_00 | 105719 | ||
How come God didn't want the Israelites to eat unclean food? I've heard that unclean food isn't as healthy. But what about meat torn by animals? The only reason I can think of is that there might be diseases or bacteria in the meat if an animal tore it apart. | ||||||
12 | lying with someone is a commitment | Ex 22:16 | case_00 | 105718 | ||
Obviously the marriage is expected to be a way of showing respect for the man or woman (instead of using others by sleeping with them and leaving). Do you think that this principle would still apply today in any way (that you should marry someone that you get caught sleeping with)? Ryan |

13 | Ezekiel and symbolism? | Ezek 20:49 | case_00 | 105717 | ||
Hi, is Ezekiel upset because people are assuming his words are symbolic? Do you think that Moses would be surprised if he found out that people sometimes say that the creation stories are symbolic? Let me know what you think. Ryan |

14 | What is hoarfrost (Ex. 16:14)? | Ex 16:14 | case_00 | 105716 | ||
Hi, does anyone know what hoarfrost is and how fine it is? Thanks! Ryan |

15 | Glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud? | Ex 16:10 | case_00 | 105715 | ||
Hi everyone. I have a question that you someone will hopefully have some insight on. Ex. 16:10. What's the glory of the lord and how would it appear in a cloud? Thank you in advance! Ryan |

16 | Bible differences, Christian-Catholic | Bible general Archive 1 | case_00 | 105714 | ||
The main difference is the Apocrypha, which is a collections of Greek writings that were written between 400 BC and 0 AD. I talked a little about them in "Why is the Apocrypha not included?" by gomar on Mon 02/26/01, 1:24am. Ryan |

17 | Why is the Apocrypha not included? | Bible general Archive 1 | case_00 | 105713 | ||
Mainly Catholic Bibles have the Apocrypha and others don't. But some protestant Bibles still have them in attached at the end of the Old Testament. Martin Luther believed that they were authoritive, but not as much as the other books. There are a few reasons why the Apocrypha is generally not accepted as other books: 1. They are written in Greek and the Jewish people never saw them as authoritive. 2. The were written during the Hellenistic period (Jews under the authority of Greeks) and seem to have Greek ideas in them, that weren't previously promoted by the Jews. 3. Jesus or the Apostles never quote from the Apocrapha, but do quote from almost all (it might be all, I'm not sure) of the other books in the Old Testament. I hope this helps! Ryan |
