1 | What does begotten mean on this verse? | Heb 1:5 | MAC702 | 229114 | ||
Actually, in John 3:16 it is prefaced with the word "only" so the word "begotten" in itself does not convey a uniqueness. Hebrews offers the question knowing the readers can only make one logical conclusion: that Jesus is the one who is the answer to the question, and not just an ordinary angel. |

2 | Is word antichrist used in Revelation | Revelation | MAC702 | 229113 | ||
John only uses the word "antichrist" in his first and second letters at 1 John 2:18, 22; 4:3; and 2 John 7. Also note that he says there are many antichrists, as it can be a term applied to anyone that does not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. The term is not used in the Revelation. |

3 | Loving God with Heart vs Soul | Deut 6:5 | MAC702 | 227798 | ||
Your soul is your life. Serving God whole-souled would be to dedicate your life to his service. Serving God with your whole heart would imply you are doing so with your emotions as well, because you WANT to, not out of any compulsion. |

4 | Lawful marriage certificate | Rom 13:1 | MAC702 | 227756 | ||
Romans chapter 13 answers all of those questions. It is summed up in verse 1, but the whole chapter is applicable. When man's laws do not conflict with God's laws, we are to respect the government as it is here as a temporary solution until God's Kingdom takes over. |

5 | origination name yahwey and GOD | Deut 6:5 | MAC702 | 227750 | ||
The Tetragramaton, the Hebrew letters YHWH, appears 7000 times in the manuscripts of the Bible. Some, out of superstition, substitute the titles Lord or God instead of faithfully translating the Name of God. Most Bibles, like the KJV and the NASB show that they have made this substitution by putting that title in all-capital letters, like in the scripture quoted above. As you can see, the Amplified Bible gives no indication that it made this substitution, and even further dishonors the name of God. Many scholars insist on the translation Yahweh, however, they are being inconsistent with other acceptable translated names into English, like Jesus, Jehosophat, Jehu, Jeremiah, and many other Biblical names that use the same construction as the English name Jehovah, which appears in the definition of all those other names. These days, the English translation Jehovah has its biggest stigma to some in that it usually brings to mind Jehovah's Witnesses, since they are its most ardent supporters, but it is in reality, the most accurate and consistent modern English translation. This is why I MUCH prefer the ASV (American Standard Version) as it translates God's name throughout the OT instead of substituting it with a title. Even the KJV retains the divine name in four scriptures, including this one: Psalm 83:18 (KJV) - [16] Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. [17] Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: [18] That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. Notice how verse 16 has "LORD" in all-capitals, but has the name JEHOVAH in verse 18. The exact same Hebrew name YHWH appears in both instances. The proper Hebrew translation of the English title "Lord" is "Adonai", not YHWH. Pay close attention to how you read the Bible. When you come across God's name 7000 times, you might start to think it's important to use it. It's a shame so many modern translators follow the tradition of substituting it because it became unpopular out of unbiblical superstitions. |

6 | cloven hooves vs swine | Lev 11:7 | MAC702 | 227749 | ||
It must also be a chewer of the cud if it has split hooves. (Leviticus 11:4-8) 4 “‘Only this is what you must not eat among the chewers of the cud and the splitters of the hoof: the camel, because it is a chewer of the cud but is no splitter of the hoof. It is unclean for you. 5 Also the rock badger, because it is a chewer of the cud but does not split the hoof. It is unclean for you. 6 Also the hare, because it is a chewer of the cud but it does not have the hoof split. It is unclean for you. 7 Also the pig, because it is a splitter of the hoof and a former of a cleft in the hoof, but it itself does not chew the cud. It is unclean for you. 8 You must not eat any of their flesh, and you must not touch their dead body. They are unclean for you. This is also repeated in Deuteronomy 14:3-8 This was a prohibition placed on the Jews and proselytes under the Mosaic Law. |

7 | Explain Matt. 18:15-18 | Matt 18:15 | MAC702 | 227709 | ||
Whenever possible, you should "man up" and tell someone they have wronged you, instead of just telling others about it first. Give them the chance to make it right with you. If they do, no one else ever needs to know about it. If they don't, THEN you can seek recompense through other means, including telling other authorities who have the means to settle it for you under law. | ||||||
8 | Do you think that christians can live a | 1 John 1:8 | MAC702 | 227708 | ||
(1 John 1:8-10) 8 If we make the statement: “We have no sin,” we are misleading ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we make the statement: “We have not sinned,” we are making him a liar, and his word is not in us. | ||||||
9 | faith, hope | Bible general Archive 4 | MAC702 | 227696 | ||
Hope is part of the definition of faith. Hebrews 11:1 - Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld. |

10 | where in the bible it talks about gays | 1 Cor 6:10 | MAC702 | 227693 | ||
(Romans 1:24-27) 24 Therefore God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, that their bodies might be dishonored among them, 25 even those who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and venerated and rendered sacred service to the creation rather than the One who created, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; 27 and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error. |

11 | Are Tarrar Cards Demonic | Bible general Archive 4 | MAC702 | 227692 | ||
Acts 16:16-18, relates: “We met a slave girl who had a clairvoyant spirit. She used to bring substantial profit to her masters by fortune-telling. The girl began to follow Paul and the rest of us . . . She did this for several days until finally Paul became annoyed, turned around, and said to the spirit, ‘In the name of Jesus Christ I command you, come out of her!’”—The New American Bible. It is clear from this that the Word of God links up the uncanny power behind fortune-telling with wicked spirit forces, or superhuman, invisible demons. (Eph. 6:12) That is why God commanded his people to shun every type of divination, saying: “There should not be found in you anyone who . . . employs divination, a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium or a professional foreteller of events or anyone who inquires of the dead. For everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah.”—Deut. 18:10-12. All forms of divination, whether by interpretation of omens or by some other use of psychic power, are covered by that prohibition. |

12 | Why was simon | Matt 27:32 | MAC702 | 220127 | ||
Using a typical Roman torture crux' dimensions for generalization, 6" diameter x 11' long or so, the thing had to weigh about 100#, maybe a little more. So it is certainly feasible that an able-bodied man could carry it by himself, but with all the beatings and whippings and midnight trials that Jesus had to endure, it's also easy to see why he could have started to carry his own crux, but soon thereafter give out to the point where Simon was then pressed into service to finish the trip. This harmonizes the different Gospel accounts, as John (19:17) mentions that Jesus was bearing it for himself as they departed. |

13 | What about the sabbath day? | Rom 10:4 | MAC702 | 112600 | ||
“Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.” (Sabbath keeping was a part of that Law. God used Christ to bring that Law to its end. Our having a righteous standing with God depends on faith in Christ, not on keeping a weekly sabbath.) If the Law was in effect, ALL of it would still be in effect. (Also Galatians 4:9-11; Ephesians 2:13-16) | ||||||
14 | gifts you can have | Eph 4:11 | MAC702 | 112596 | ||
There are a couple of different ways of interpreting your question. Here's but one answer. All men of God have a talent that we can use better than our other talents. Paul referred to these talents (and therefore the usage of the men) when he wrote to the Ephesians (in pertinent part): Now to each one of us undeserved kindness was given according to how the Christ measured out the free gift..... 11 And he gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelizers, some as shepherds and teachers, 12 with a view to the readjustment of the holy ones, for ministerial work, for the building up of the body of the Christ, |

15 | how many brothers Jesus have/there names | NT general Archive 1 | MAC702 | 112594 | ||
Starting in Matthew 13:55 we read, "Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? [56] And his sisters, are they not all with us?" So four half-brothers and at least two half-sisters. "Half-" because they only shared the same human mother. |

16 | Good start in Bible for new Christian? | Luke | MAC702 | 112587 | ||
I, too, would recommend starting with the gospels, and then follow immediately with Acts as it is a seamless transition to the days of the early Christians after Christ's death. It was written by Luke, in fact. I would probably just go in order through Revelation, and then start in Genesis, making sure to read the entire Bible. I like the schedules for doing so in a year, too. It's very doable, and well paced. |

17 | Why don't we address God as Yahweh? | Bible general Archive 2 | MAC702 | 112576 | ||
I wouldn't say they TRANSLATE it as "LORD." More like they purposely (for whatever reason) SUBSTITUTE it. They know it is the personal name of God, but some out of superstition, some out of fear of men, do not print it. You will find it printed all 6,900 times in the OT of the ASV, yet substituted in the NASB. I have seen a letter from the publishers of the NIV that admits they were going to use it, but didn't because of the loss of sales it would cause. Yes, there is no J in Hebrew. But we are speaking English, which is why we say Jehosophat, Joshua, Jehonadab, Jehu, Jeremiah, (and all the other names that contain Jehovah in the definition) with J's in English. If we say Yahweh instead of Jehovah, we must be consistent. |

18 | If a man is married to an American wife | Bible general Archive 2 | MAC702 | 112574 | ||
The apostle Paul clearly states in 1 Corinthians 7:12, "If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and yet she is agreeable to dwelling with him, let him not leave her" Even if separation were caused by the unbelieving wife, he has no grounds for divorce unless she commits adultery.-Matthew 19:9 Romans chapter 13 also applies in a Christian being obligated to the ruling authorities and the laws of the land. See earlier answer about polygamy. |

19 | What does 'Mountain of God' mean? | Ex 3:1 | MAC702 | 112560 | ||
Here's one way to look at it. All mountains belong to Jehovah God by reason of his being their Former. (Ps 95:4; Am 4:13) However, the words “mountain of Jehovah” or ‘of God’ often apply in a special way to mountains where Jehovah revealed his presence. These include Mount Sinai or Horeb (Ex 3:1; Nu 10:33) and the mountain associated with Jehovah’s sanctuary.—Ps 24:3. | ||||||
20 | Why is the ground declared holy? | Ex 3:5 | MAC702 | 112557 | ||
A place is made holy by the presence of Jehovah. (When appearing to men, he manifested his presence by means of angels representing him; Ga 3:19.) Moses was on holy ground as he stood observing the burning bush from which an angel representing Jehovah spoke to him. (Ex 3:2-5) Joshua was reminded that he was on holy ground when an angel, the prince of the army of Jehovah, materialized and stood before him. (Jos 5:13-15) Peter, referring to the transfiguration of Christ and to Jehovah’s speaking at that time, called the site “the holy mountain.”—2Pe 1:17, 18; Lu 9:28-36. | ||||||
