1 | Kish Connections | Bible general Archive 1 | Ric | 37176 | ||
I looked it up in my NIV Bible Dictionary: KISH (Heb. qish, bow, power). 1. A Benjamite, a son of Abiel and father of Saul, Israel's first king (1 Sam 9:1, 3; 10:11, 21). Called Cis in KJV of Acts 13:21. 2. A son of Abi Gibeon, a Benjamite (1 Chron 8:30; 9:36). 3. A Levite of the family of Merari (23:21-22; 24:29). 4. A Levite and a Merarite who assisted in the cleansing of the temple in Hezekiah's time (2 Chron 29:12). 5. A Benjamite, an ancestor of Mordecai, the cousin of Queen Esther (Esth 2:5). It looks like number 1 and number 5 agree. In God's Grace, Ric |

3 | Mary is Sinless? | Luke 2:24 | Ric | 31835 | ||
I don't know? But Scripture states that Mary gave a "sin offering" according to Jewish law, if she was truly sinless she would not have had to give the sin offering. |

4 | which bible translation is true? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ric | 31830 | ||
All "translations" are just that; "Translations". But I believe that the NASB is the most accurate "word for word" translation we have today in Modern English. All translations have some error in them, because mere men translate them, and we all make mistakes. I study from a lot of different translations (NASB, NIV, NLT, KJV, and a few others) to make sure I do understand God's Word, and all of this with the help of the Holy Spirit. In God's Grace, Ric |

9 | How is comunion only symbolic? | 1 Cor 10:16 | Ric | 5188 | ||
The cup of blessing used in the Lord's Supper brings us spiritually into participation in the blood of Christ and into fellowship with him. The same is true of the bread, whereby we become one body with him. The "cup of blessing" was a technical term for the third cup drunk at the Jewish Passover the time when the Lord's Supper was instituted. That "participation [G3126] in the blood of Christ" is meant to be a memorial symbol of fellowship with Christ rather than a literal drinking of his blood is clear from the fact that Christ had not yet died when he instituted this supper, and this participation is in remembering him, not in drinking him. | ||||||
10 | Did Jesus back up His claim in Jno 8:58? | John 8:58 | Ric | 5103 | ||
"Before Abraham was born, I am" could only mean a claim to deity. "Was born" implies the event of entering into a new state or condition of existence. "I am" (G1609, G1639) implies continuous existence, including existence when Abraham appeared. Jesus was, therefore, asserting that at the time of Abraham's birth, he existed. "I AM" was recognized by the Jews as a title of deity. | ||||||
11 | Difference between fear and afraid? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ric | 3852 | ||
My NIV Bible Dictionary states: FEAR (Heb. yirah, Gr. phobos). This word has two principal meanings: (1) that apprehension of evil that normally leads one either to flee or to fight and (2) that awe and reverence felt in the presence of a higher authority (be it parent, husband, or especially God). The word "reverend," which occurs only in the KJV of Psalm 111:9 (NIV has "awesome"), means literally "to be feared" and is used only for God. And my Expository Dictionary states: Fear as an emotion. OT uses of "fear" often indicate the all-too-familiar feeling of terror. Adam and Eve fled from God in the Garden of Eden, Adam later explaining, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked" (Ge 3:10). A basic cause of this emotion is awareness of vulnerability because of sin or because of the perceived power of another to do harm. The Hebrew people experienced such terror at Sinai (Dt 5:5), and Saul was gripped by fear when he saw the size of the massive Philistine army (1 Sa 28:5). The antidote for the emotion of fear is the conviction that God is for us and with us. God told Israel he would be with his covenant people. So Moses exhorted Israel, "Do not be faint-hearted or afraid; do not be terrified or give way to panic before them. For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory" (Dt 20:3-4). |

13 | What's the Greek word for homosexual? | 1 Cor 6:9 | Ric | 2713 | ||
1CO 6:9 ë ouk oidate hoti adikoi theou basileian ou klëronomësousin? më planasthe: oute pornoi oute eidölolatrai oute moichoi oute malakoi oute arsenokoit Here is the Greek N.T. verse 1 Cor. 6:9. As you see the last word is "arsenokoit". So yes, Paul did use that word in his letter to Corinth. Here's the Nave's refferance: HOMOSEXUAL [H3879, G780, G3434]. Sexual activity between members of the same sex is universally condemned in Scripture. Male homosexuality forbidden by law and punished by death (Lev 18:22; 20:13). Male and female homosexuality condemned (Ro 1:26). With other sexually immoral persons excluded from the kingdom of God (1Co 6:9-11). Sorry, that is all I can find in my books so far for you, I hope it helps some. In God's Grace, Ric |

14 | Scripture please? | James 2:23 | Ric | 1938 | ||
I can't find a verse to answer your question, it's just a metaphor in Hebrew when one is called "friend of God" to be known as righteous in God's eyes. | ||||||
15 | Is astrology forbidden? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ric | 1881 | ||
Jeremiah 8:1 " At that time, declares the LORD, the bones of the kings and officials of Judah, the bones of the priests and prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem will be removed from their graves. 2 They will be exposed to the sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens, which they have loved and served and which they have followed and consulted and worshiped. They will not be gathered up or buried, but will be like refuse lying on the ground. 3 Wherever I banish them, all the survivors of this evil nation will prefer death to life, declares the LORD Almighty. (NIV) | ||||||
16 | What does abomination mean? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ric | 1879 | ||
Abomination defined are activities that are offensive in a moral, religious, or even a natural sense of repulsion. Proverbs 6:16 There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil, 19 A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers. (NASB) |

17 | Why was Abraham called the friend of God | James 2:23 | Ric | 1878 | ||
This is another way of saying that he was right with God. He acted as a friend of God should act and thus showed that he was in reality God's friend. | ||||||
18 | Is this dancing for joy? | Ps 149:1 | Ric | 1795 | ||
PS 149:1 Praise the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints. PS 149:2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in their King. PS 149:3 Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with tambourine and harp. PS 149:4 For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with salvation. PS 149:5 Let the saints rejoice in this honor and sing for joy on their beds. (NIV) Yes, this is dancing for joy! This was stated in the NIV Bible Commentary: The resultant expression on the part of the godly can only be joy. They are portrayed as "dancing." The people of God regularly celebrated the Lord's victory and blessing in dance (cf. Ex 15:20; Jdg 11:34). Also at home "on their beds," they rejoice in the glory bestowed on them by the Lord. |
