1 | God spoke using Deborah | Judg 5:12 | Noveta | 177968 | ||
This is a little off the topic but your reply made me wonder about the salvation of the people in the Old Testament. If I need to create another link I will. But my questions is, how are the people saved in the old Testament. I am fairly new in being a Christain and started my studies in the New Testament, now I am seeing what great lessons to be learned in the Old Testament. So many lessons dealing with very detailed aspects of life. And you actually can appreciate what is happening in the New Testament after understanding what Isreal went through in the Old Testament. But when people were spoken too in the Old Testament, like Deborah was it through the Holy spirit like we are? I know there are times in the Old Testament where GOD physically spoke to Moses, etc. Thanks you have been a great help already. God Bless Noveta |

2 | Barak faith in Deborah or God | Judg 5:12 | Noveta | 177964 | ||
I am doing a bible study on the book of Judges. Topic of discussion is Judges 4 and it talks about putting your faith in a person and not GOD. It talks about Deborah chastening Barek for not going by himself to battle. I had this very question and wanted to know if there was anywhere else in the bible that confirms this scripture/chapter to be a scripture that teaches that a person who is commanded by GOD (through another person) and it displeases GOD. Or if this is not the point of the scripture let me know, I realize some scriptures are sometimes meant to give you a background or thorough knowledge of something bigger not necessarily there to pull something out of context. I mean it clearly states that Deborah was not pleased with his decision, but yet he was commended or used as an example of a person showing faith in Hebrews 11:32. If you are talking to a group of teenagers and telling them to have faith in GOD but they point out this scripture and say, the person was still commended for his duties in Hebrews 11:23, what is your answer. thanks for your help in my quest for biblical knowledge. God Bless |

3 | Sick for 38 years | John 5:7 | Noveta | 177204 | ||
One of the things that is a Christian's biggest challenge is proving that the bible is embedded in real history. That it really happen, but some of the stories seem so hard to believe or shall i say prove. I believe in the bible and I believe it is the word of GOD, I want to beable to support every aspect of it correctly or as best I can to any non-believer. For example, John 5 says "1Afterward Jesus returned to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish holy days. 2Inside the city, near the Sheep Gate, was the pool of Bethesda,[a] with five covered porches. 3Crowds of sick people--blind, lame, or paralyzed--lay on the porches.[b] 5One of the men lying there had been sick for thirty-eight years. 6When Jesus saw him and knew how long he had been ill, he asked him, "Would you like to get well?" How can some be lying there 38 years? That doesn't seem like reality. How can you explain that to someone? God Bless and thanks in advance for your comments. |

4 | How does Hebrews 10:26 fit my problem | Heb 10:26 | Noveta | 174215 | ||
Please someone help me. I am having marriage problems. When I spoke to my Pastor he directed me to Hebrews 10:26. Was he telling me that I am deliberately sinning. Why would the Pastor point me to this scripture because I feel like my husband is having an affair? He also pointed me to Psalms 139. It was like he was telling me I wasn't being open and honest. If you go to someone and they point you to that scripture, what are they telling you? |

5 | Jesus or Immanuel | Rev 21:3 | Noveta | 164483 | ||
This verse Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 But Jesus name is not Immanuel. I have asked this question before and someone told me that you go by the meaning of Immanuel not the name itself. Is there a book that is easy to read that will allow me to understand the historical background of Hebrew scripture and history. To me this goes beyond Bible interpretation. Because if any new Christian reads the Bible would say Isaiah mentions Immanuel? I have been told there is historical evidence that Jesus existed, but I have never really searched for it myself. People are asking me this questions, how do I respond, if I have never researched it myself. |

7 | Jesus responds | Bible general Archive 3 | Noveta | 163022 | ||
Yes this helps. Keeping it simple always helps me. But this leds me to this question. In the King James Version it says they stoned him because he was saying he is GOD. But Jesus response and says he is saying he is the Son of God. Calling your self the Son of God doesn't mean you are saying you are GOD. Many religions believe Jesus is the Son of God. But they don't believe he is GOD. But he is saying he is the Son of God in this verse, but later when he also says "that the Father is in me, and I in him." Which means he was saying he is GOD, correct? You know they say the important question to answer, is who do you say that I am? Many people say they are safe because they do believe he is the Son of God, but they don't have to believe he is God? Which they say is how Peter responded to this important question. How do I respond to that? Someone is asking me these important questions, thanks again for your help. God Bless, Noveta |

8 | Jesus response | Bible general Archive 3 | Noveta | 163019 | ||
I am sorry, but your reponse is way over the top of my Head. Are you saying Jesus was telling them he had authority to be called God because he is within the law and that he was the law. Because he said ", that the Father is in me, and I in him." Him and his Farther hold the same attributes (nature) and are equal therefore he is authorized to say he is God? He was using Their law as example, by saying are you allowed to call yourselves gods within your own law because you have authority within YOUR law. Well the same concept or rule holds for him and his farther? Thanks for your help. God Bless Noveta |

9 | John 10:31 | Bible general Archive 3 | Noveta | 163015 | ||
Hello everyone, I am have tried to search before asking this question, but am not successful. I am reading the book of John and in Chapter 10. I would like someone to explain to me what does it mean to blaspheme. From what I have found, if you disrespect or break any of the laws of the ten commandments or if you have disrespected the Holy spirit? However in John 10:31 they are accusing Jesus to blaspheme because he is saying he is God and he is God's son correct? . 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and my Father are one. 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. Also, I do not understand Jesus response, "Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken" What does he mean, written in your law,Ye are gods?

11 | Not normal | 2 Tim 2:22 | Noveta | 162292 | ||
Hello, I would like to know how angst33 has been doing in this area. I know someone who is addicted too pornography and it is destroying their marriage. They are about to get a divorce because of it. They once asked me how do you convince someone that pornography is not normal. How do they approach this in a biblical way so that it will save their marriage and the person that is addicted. If the person refuses to confront the issue or talk to any one in the church. |

12 | Understanding the Trinity | John 1:1 | Noveta | 161026 | ||
I am a believer of the trinity. However, I do not understand how this is an explaination of the trinity. When I read these scriptures I understand that God is God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I know these are important men in the scripture that signify very important events. But can you explain to me how you interpret this as saying "I am the God of three persons" in relation to how you define the trinity. The trinity means to me "God in three persons" Isn't GOD the GOD of many who believe? The trinity is always coming up for debate. So I would like to have a response in case it is asked of me. Thank you very much. |

13 | Men and Angels | Bible general Archive 3 | Noveta | 160717 | ||
I have read your response. Thanks you and everyone for helping with my studies. You mentioned this scripture "Jude 1:6-7 "And those angels not having kept their first place, but having deserted their dwelling-place, He has kept in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of a great Day; 7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these, committing fornication, and going away after other flesh, laid down an example before-times, undergoing vengeance of everlasting fire." You have given me many scriptures to research. I know I have more reading and research, but I needed to ask this question. Sorry, I am very confused. This does tell me that angels left their dwelling place. As many have done, many angels were sent to rely messages and communicate with humans. However when I read Gen 19. I get the impression the men were after angels(which are also called men interchangeably??), not the other way around. I am confused as to how this explains that it is possible that another species can be created in Gen 6. This would different be another species (angels and humans ) ?? That even though the desire for men to be with the angels was there, but it doesn't state that it happened. When I read Gen 19, it appears the angels were in control of the situation because they pulled Lot back in and Gen 19:11 says "And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness..so that they became weary trying to find the door". Thanks for your help |

14 | After his own kind | Bible general Archive 3 | Noveta | 160714 | ||
I have read most of the comments that stemmed from my question. Your statement is the reason why I can't believe that there were "fallen angels" and human woman having children. From what I can understand we have free will right, so if these angels did such a thing what would stop it from happening again. Also if the angels mixed with the women, why in the following verses it states the men became wicked. If you read the entire story in context it makes more sense to me that these great "giants" were godly men that mixed with ungodly women and became evil. GOD was not pleased and then destroyed them. I am trying to learn how to intepret the Bible. I have been told that you interpret scripture against scripture. But just because you use a phrase in one book of the Bible (for instance Job uses the sons of God to mean angels) doesn't necessarily mean the same phrase is used the same way in another part of the bible. You have to read the context and compare context with context. If one scripture is referring to something in context and it also refering to the same thing "in context" then yes it would mean the samething. (correct?). Another example would be when I first read Gen 5:24 I did not understand what was meant by "And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him". It was not until I read Heb 11:5 that I understood by faith he did not see death. |

15 | What is progeny? | Bible general Archive 3 | Noveta | 159785 | ||
Can you please tell me what you mean by.... why were their progeny different than normal? I looked up the word progeny and it states descedants of a person. I also see that giants can be interpeted as large men, renown, and powerful? |

16 | Sons of God | Bible general Archive 3 | Noveta | 159779 | ||
I do aplogize, I know this question has been asked before. But I am torn by two interpretations of the same scripture. Genesis 6. Who are the sons of God? While it makes perfect sense they are talking about angels because of the chapters in Job 1:6 and Job 2:1, and Job 38:4. Then there is also support in the new II Peter 2:4. However in Job they are not talking about fallen angels. But ofcourse they are not fallen in Genesis until they commited the sin? But then there is interpretation that tries to approach the scripture with logic. Saying to read chapters 4 and 5 of Genesis, they must be talking about Seth and Cain. Seth being the sons of God and the daughters of men being from Cain. Then there is the idea that spirits don't have sex and do not marry. I know in Matthew when Jesus mentions this is not talking about sex, but sex is the gift (or suppose to be ) that is after marriage? Which using reason, that makes sense to me. |

17 | GOD gives Jesus the power to save? | Prov 3:5 | Noveta | 151499 | ||
I was reading some commentaries on the bible and it stated "He is the only man who is now the Mediator between God and mankind (1 Tim. 2:5). It is Jesus Christ to whom God has given the power to “save to the uttermost” all who call upon his name, because he ever lives to make intercession for us (Heb. 7:25)." I believe that Jesus is GOD. For the most part I have many scriptures that support it. However, I sometimes run across some that I need explanation. For example the above one says GOD gave the power to save. Is this a correct commentary to say GOD gave Jesus. Since Jesus is GOD how is he given the power to save? I thought he always had that power. There were just many prophecies that need to be fulfilled before it was "actualized". Noveta |

19 | What is considered an Idol | Bible general Archive 2 | Noveta | 140568 | ||
This scripture says clearly In Exodus 20:3-5, God gives Israel this command: "You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God." How do you justify wearing a cross? It clearly says do not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the either beneath or in the waers below. If I wear a cross I know in my heart I am not wearing it as an idol. And the is the point I try to make, even though this is a symbol that is in the form of something in heaven, I am not idolizing it. Meaning I am not placing it before God. However, I have to continuously explain myself to people who don't understand, which is okay. I just want to make sure I am correct. To me it is a symbol that reminds me what Christ has done for me. But some people feel I am going against God's commandment and it causes confusion. To me it welcomes communication and my chance to explain God's grace and his plan for our salvation. Is that any other scripture that says people have created heavenly symbols and it was okay with GOD. |

20 | Cross or Stake | John 19:19 | Noveta | 140559 | ||
Did Jesus die on a cross on a stake. I understand the important thing is that he died for our sins. But I how do you translate the greek word stauros into English. Is there a good resource to translates Greek to English. I know Greek is a hard language to learn. Maybe a Greek to English for dummies? Noveta |
