1 | Zebulun's territory | Gen 49:13 | nthnobdvs | 219378 | ||
Why does this say that Zebulun will dwell at the seashore when, in Joshua 19:10-16, which describes Zebulun's portion of Israel, they are not given a chunk of land on the shore? | ||||||
2 | Why is this verse here? | Luke 6:40 | nthnobdvs | 218527 | ||
Why does this verse come here? V. 39 seems to connect to v. 41; they are both metaphorically talking about the eyes as related to hypocrisy. v. 40, however, seems to be saying something that's not related to the topic that 39 introduces. Any explanation for this? The same thing happens in v. 43. The word "For..." makes me think that this verse is linked to the previous section but the topics don't seem to be related. Any insight into this? Thanks! |

3 | Why only two options? | Luke 6:9 | nthnobdvs | 218439 | ||
Jesus asks if it is lawful to do good or to do harm, as if those are the only two options. Is He saying that by not acting (healing the man with the withered hand) He would be committing evil? Why is there no evaluation of the option to do nothing (not heal the man). This would not be "good" but it would not really be "evil" either. Any thoughts would help! | ||||||
4 | Why? | Luke 5:23 | nthnobdvs | 218396 | ||
Thanks, this answers one aspect of my question but another aspect is, I think, more difficult. The men clearly brought their friend so that he might be healed of his paralysis. When they finally make their way to Jesus, however, He tells the man his sins are forgiven. It is not until the Pharisees grumble that He tells the man to get up and walk. Why did Jesus not tell the man to walk in the first place? If his condition was a result of his sin, why did forgiving his sins not result in his being able to walk? | ||||||
5 | What does He mean? | Luke 5:23 | nthnobdvs | 218393 | ||
What does Jesus mean in this verse? I'm not quite sure why He says this or what He is trying to convey. | ||||||
6 | What did they say? | Luke 4:22 | nthnobdvs | 218354 | ||
Clearly after the people say this it is clear that Jesus senses hostility from them as, in the next verse, he starts comparing Himself to the prophets were rejected by their own people. What is it about what these people said that shows that they are rejecting Jesus? | ||||||
7 | What are the thoughts that were revealed | Luke 2:35 | nthnobdvs | 218314 | ||
What are the "thoughts from many hearts" that were revealed? | ||||||
8 | Why did Elizabeth live in seclusion? | Luke 1:25 | nthnobdvs | 218291 | ||
Why did Elizabeth have to live in seclusion (v. 24) for her disgrace (childlessness) to be taken away? | ||||||
9 | What is the subject of this verse? | Nah 1:8 | nthnobdvs | 218225 | ||
How do we know what the "its" in this sentence refers to? "But with an overflowing flood He will make a complete end of its.." Whose site is it that God is making an end of? Other translations render it "Nineveh's site" but the only thing that would seem to indicate that to me would be V.1 of Nahum which says "The oracle of Nineveh." None of the verses right before verse 8 though seem to indicate what the "its" refers to. | ||||||
