1 | Should we take the bible literally? | Bible general Archive 2 | Diomede | 154869 | ||
What does it mean that the bible is inspired by God? Is it his actual words to us today, be taken literally? I am being told that there are some new testament issues that while the bible says one thing, that isn't what it actually means to us today. Which then poses the problem of which bits do we take literally and which bits don't we? So how should we take it? Thanks! | ||||||
2 | How should we take the Bible? | Bible general Archive 2 | Diomede | 154918 | ||
Thanks Tim for your reply. The two main issues that have arisen for me are women and their role in church and wives being under the authority of their husbands. I have done a quick search on these so am aware of some of the different perspectives. But what I keep coming back to is that if the bible is Gods actual words to us today, then should it be enough that we read it and take it like it says? I've red somewhere that if the bible makes sense like it is then take it as it is, if it is unclear, then interprit it in light of the bits that are clear. Some say but things are different culturally, I'm not sure about this argument. Surely if God is God then he would have made it clear if some bits of the bible were for then and some are for now. Which then takes me back to the original problem, if we are to decide (based on what we know of culture back then) which parts apply and which don't, how can we be sure we get it right? Thanks for your help with this! |

Did God create death? | ||||||
4 | Could a good God create death? | Gen 1:31 | Diomede | 158268 | ||
Thats what I thought, but doesn't that cause a problem if everything God made was good, or is death good? | ||||||
5 | Can God change his mind? | Ex 32:10 | Diomede | 156377 | ||
It seems to me that here God is going to destroy the Israelites, yet later, relents. Does this mean God can change his mind? | ||||||
6 | Does the number 10 symbolise anything? | Deut 23:3 | Diomede | 160080 | ||
Is there any significance in the use of the number ten here? I've been told that it can symbolise eternity, but can't find anything to support that. Also, was the congregation or assembly, the temple, or parts of the temple? What exactly were they excluded from? Thanks |

7 | Who could the Israelites marry? | Ruth 1:4 | Diomede | 160082 | ||
Was marriage between an Israelite man and Moabite woman allowed? I had thought, from reading Ezra, that marrying foreigners was prohibited, but I've been told that these Moabite marriages were okay. Can someone explain to me who the Isrealites were allowed to marry and why. Thanks |

9 | who witnessed the curtain rip? | Dan 9:21 | Diomede | 220838 | ||
Thank you for your very full answer. What I was particularly wondering was what was happening in the temple at the time the curtain ripped. If it was at afternoon sacrifice I'm guessing it was really busy so alot of people would have witnessed it. Would this have been the case? | ||||||
10 | Is this salt, salt of the covenant? | Matt 5:13 | Diomede | 218420 | ||
What does the salt, in the covenant of salt (lev 2 v 13 and num 18 v 19) represent? It is Christ, or the gospel? I am trying to find out if there is a link between salt here and it's use in matt 5 v 13. | ||||||
11 | Is Matt 7 v 20 always true? | Matt 7:20 | Diomede | 155029 | ||
I am trying to get to the bottom of womens role in the church, particularly regarding women preaching. Yesterday for a brief moment I thought I had it figured out. If the above verse is true then God would bless the work of women whom he had called to preach and their work would be fruitful. However I have since recalled several cases of preachers who would seem to have had a fruitful ministry, but it has been found out later they had been involved in all kinds of things they should't have been. So did God overule and still make their ministry fruitful so his will could be done despite the people he had to work with? Perhaps I don't understand what is meant by fruitful. What do you think this verse means? Thanks |

13 | Did Jesus feed men and women? | John 6:10 | Diomede | 192936 | ||
Does this verse mean that all the people were told to sit down, but only the men did sit down. If this is the case, the next verse would indicate that only the men ate. Is this perhaps a cultural thing where the men ate first? | ||||||
14 | Did Jesus feed men and women? | John 6:10 | Diomede | 192959 | ||
Thanks for your reply. You're right the point here is that Jesus fed a huge crowd in a miraculos way. However, I would still like to understand this verse better. Did Jesus feed men and women? One explanation is that there were only men there, but I don't think that fits in with the other accounts of the story. Can someone make sense of verse 10 and 11 for me. Thanks. | ||||||
15 | Will we all speak one language again? | Acts 2:8 | Diomede | 171800 | ||
I've heard someone say that in the new earth they believe we will all speak the same language, as we did before the tower of Babel. Is there scripture that would support this? | ||||||

18 | Do we all get to heaven together? | 2 Cor 5:8 | Diomede | 158218 | ||
Do christians all get to heaven at the same time? I like the idea of our deceased loved ones looking down on us, but is this biblical? If we do all get to heaven at the same time how is that possible? I'm interested to hear peoples thoughts, and also to get some verses to clarify the matter. Thanks |

20 | How was Paul faithful? | 1 Tim 1:12 | Diomede | 154050 | ||
Can someone explain to me how it is that God considered Paul faithful. He didn't exactly have a good track record prior to his conversion, yet God considered him faithful enough to entrust to him a huge and important task. Is this because God didn't see the past, he saw the future potiential? Or does this verse refer to a time after his conversion when he'd proved himself faithful. I don't get it, however it is certainly encouraging that if God could use Paul with his past then he must be able to do the same for all of us! | ||||||
