1 | How was salvation seen in OT? | Heb 11:1 | Diomede | 222571 | ||
Can someone please tell me how the Old Testament writers understood salvation? I know they were ultimately saved by Christ which the sacrifical system pointed to, but, what did they think they got saved from? It seems to me that David in Psalms was wanting salvation from his physical enemies. Through Judges, the same thing, Israel needed saving from the nations that oppressed them. Can anyone find verses that show they saw salvation as eternal life, cause it seems to me that for them salvation was connected to the present difficulty? | ||||||
2 | What does worshipper of God mean? | Acts 16:14 | Diomede | 222429 | ||
What does it means that Lydia was a worshipper of God? I take it she wasn't Jewish. Does worshipper of God describe a prosolyte? | ||||||
3 | widows rights | 1 Tim 5:3 | Diomede | 222159 | ||
Thanks. I guess what I'm really wanting to know is the background behind those Bible verses. From the verses I've read about widows in the Bible it seems to me that God was concerned that they be looked after and not taken advantage of. So my question is, why was that nessasary? What rights did they have. The verses suggest that they lost rights when their husbands died. Could they run a business, own property etc. | ||||||
4 | What were the rights of widows? | 1 Tim 5:3 | Diomede | 222108 | ||
What were the rights of widows in Bible times? It seems to me that through outthe whole Bible God is concerned that the widows be looked after and not taken advantage of. Is this because, without a husband they were more vulnerable, and didn't have so many rights if they were on their own? Did this change if they widowed but had a son? Can anyone claify for me what a widow could and couldn't do, and/or recommend any good materail on the subject. Thank you. |

6 | 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? | ||||||
7 | what time was evening sacrifice | Dan 9:21 | Diomede | 220829 | ||

8 | 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. | ||||||
9 | 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. | ||||||
10 | 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? | ||||||
11 | 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? | ||||||
12 | What does 'Once for all' mean? | Rom 6:10 | Diomede | 160248 | ||
Is the 'once for all' meaning, once for all people, once for all time, both of these, or something different again? Thanks |
||||||
13 | 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 |
||||||
14 | 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 |

15 | Grateful for the forum | 1 Tim 3:4 | Diomede | 159128 | ||
CDBJ I do apologise if to you my questions seem naive, you obiviously have alot more knowledge about the Bible and life than I do. I've really only just beginning to take the bible seriously and to try to get the the heart of what it actually means, and how I am to apply it every day. I don't have more mature christians who I can ask my dumb questions to, and so I really appreciate having this forum. Thank for your answer.I do agree with you, I was just asking the question so that I could be sure for myself of the verses meaning. Thanks |

16 | Can an overseer drink? | 1 Tim 3:2 | Diomede | 159114 | ||
Thank you Kalos for your very comprehensive answer? I agree that the Bible doesn't require the general public to completely abstain, just not to use it in excess. But does this verse suggest that because of the example and influence of an overseer, there is a higher standard set for him? Thanks |
||||||
17 | how should overseers children act? | 1 Tim 3:4 | Diomede | 159113 | ||
Thanks CDBJ for your thoughts. So are you saying that if a mans children are disobediant and disrespectful to him then he doesn't meet the criteria for an overseer? I know of several godly parents whos adult children have completely rebelled and have been disrespectful to their parents and the way they have been brought up. Are these parents excluded from being overseers because of their adult childrens choices? |
||||||
18 | What does 1 Timothy 3 v 4 mean? | 1 Tim 3:4 | Diomede | 159088 | ||
Can someone explain this verse abit more for me? Does this mean that to qualify as an overseer a mans children must be christians, or that they should be respectable, not rebellious? Does it just refer to children before they've reached adulthood? Thanks. | ||||||
19 | Does 1 Tim 5 v 23 contradict this? | 1 Tim 3:2 | Diomede | 159086 | ||
I believe the word temperate is from the Greek word nephalios, which means abstaining from alcohol. I had taken this to mean that overseers were not to drink alcohol at all. However in 1 Timothy 5 v 23 Paul tells Timothy to drink a little wine for health reasons. Is this contradictory? | ||||||
20 | References to God being timeless. | Rev 21:6 | Diomede | 158438 | ||
Thanks Doc for your thoughts. This is a huge concept I am trying to get my head around. Could you give me the references for some of the other scriptures on the same subject which you mentioned? Also, the paper you refer to, is that something I could access on-line? Thanks for your help. |
