2 | Where is tithe on non agricultural items | Gen 28:22 | SBoone | 158013 | ||
Hi Michael, That is an interesting question. Does Gen 28:22 encompass more than produce? Jacob while praising God after seeing the vision of the ladder reaching to Heaven says "of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You". In verse 20 he mentions clothing along with food as given from the Lord. God Bless, SBoone |

3 | tithing | Heb 7:4 | SBoone | 158011 | ||
Mt 23:23 Christ mentions in a rebuke to the Scribes and Pharisees, but not in an affirming way. Heb 7:4-9 Discusses tithing in an OT context. 1 Cor 9:13,14 doesn't mention Tithing, but is similar in it's teaching. Mal 3:8-10 is perhaps the strongest OT text on Tithing. It is interesting to note that tithing is here mentioned in context of NT times (All chapter 3 from the John the Baptist and the Messiah to judgement. |

4 | Confused of the 10 Commandments. | Rom 13:8 | SBoone | 157423 | ||
Hello JOEB, I believe that as Christians we need to obey what God says until He says to stop. The OT law is for Christians except where God explicitly says the law is no longer in effect. Matt 5:17,18 Jesus taught that He did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill and not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Ps 89:34 God says He will not alter His utterances. Matt 24:35 tells us that God does not change. In Heb chapter 7 we are specifically told that the priesthood has concluded and is now performed by Christ in Heaven. In Heb chapter 10 we are specifically told that the sacrificial system has concluded with the true sacrifice at the cross. So here are two examples of an OT law that God has told us is no longer in effect. Rom 10:4 says that "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes". Now the question is how do we understand this in light of Jn 13:34 where Jesus said "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you". So has all law been abolished for the righteous or not? I would suggest the following as a partial answer to that question. The law said that when we sinned we must die (Eze 18:20 ; Rom 6:23 ; Gen 2:17), and it is that law that is ended for the righteous. We now, in spite of our sin, can live eternally through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Don't be discouraged. As you prayerfully ask God to teach you Biblical truth you will find that the things that were confusing will become clearer. God Bless SBoone |

5 | Was the cushite the first wife or 2nd?? | Ex 2:20 | SBoone | 157259 | ||
Greetings, I'm not sure how clear the Bible is on that point. I assume you are referring to Num. 12:1. Many commentators feel this actually refers to Zipporah. I tend to think this is the case. In Ex 2:16-19 Jethro is mentioned as a Priest in Midian. This would make him a descendant of Abraham. Zipporah shows her disapproval of the circumcision process. Could this indicate that her mother was not of the seed of Abraham. Possibly even Cushite (African or Asian). If you believe that it is a second wife, I'm not aware of any other Biblical detail as to who she is or whether or not they had children. Also, I failed to mention Moses second son Eliezer (Ex 18:3,4). God bless, SBoone |

6 | what is Mose Cushite wife name? | Ex 2:20 | SBoone | 157253 | ||
Moses married Zipporah (Ex 2:21) in the wilderness while working for her father Jethro (AKA Reuel). One child is mentioned, Gershom (Ex 2:22). | ||||||
7 | What happens to our soul when we die? | Luke 12:20 | SBoone | 156740 | ||
Hello, Gen 2:7 says dust plus God's breath equals a soul. Eccl 12:7 says death equals dust minus breath. When we die God's breath returns to God, and our bodies return to the earth. A box is made of wood and nails. When you pull the nails out you have wood and nails, but where did the box go? It does not exist until the nails and wood are reunited. At death we sleep (Job 14:12,21 ; Jn 11:11-14 ; 1 Thes 4:13-15 ; Dan 12:13 ; Is 57:1,2 ; Mt 9:24 ) not aware of anything (Jn 146:4 ; Job14:12,21 ; Ps 115:17), but then raised at the 2nd coming where dust is reunited with God's breath (Is 26:19 ; Jn 5:28 ; John 14:2). This is an important issue. In Gen 2:17 God said that when we sin we will die. In Gen 3:4 Satan said when we sin we will not die. God repeats this (Rom 6:23 ; Eze 18:20), and we like Eve now must choose who we will believe. The rampant rise of spiritualism we are experiencing in our world (1Tim 4:1) was made possible because so many people believe that our "Soul" is immortal. God bless your study. |

8 | please help. | Romans | SBoone | 156737 | ||
Hi Lola, Romans 2:14-16 is an interesting few verses. Through the ages there are peoples who have not had the gospel message shared with them. It is my belief that the Holy Spirit witnesses to these people. They can choose God by following the Spirits guiding. Rom 1:19,20 ; Acts 14:17 ; John 10:16 Seem to support this idea. Zech 13:6 tells about children in heaven that do not know what the marks in Christs hands are from. This would be those that died prior to the cross, but could also represent children that followed the Spirit's guidance in spite of false teachings. Ps 87:6 implies that God will take into account what children are taught in the judgment. Remember that God loves those children more than your fiancee, and He has told us that He doesn't want anyone to perish (2 Pet 3:19). Stay steadfast in your faith and the Lord will keep you in perfect peace (Is 26:3,4) SBoone |

9 | What does the Bible say about marijuana? | 1 Cor 10:31 | SBoone | 156736 | ||
Hello, Add 1 Thes 5:23 "May your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame" 1 Cor 6:19,20 "Glorify God in your body" 1 Cor 10:31 "Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." The closest thing to drug use I know of would be Proverbs 23:29-35. Speaking of a drunkard v.33 states "Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind will utter perverse things." Drug and alcohol abuse have similar effect on the brain. From a medical perspective it is not that marijuana users are enlightened when using, but rather their judgement is so impaired that simple ideas seem rather brilliant. SBoone |

10 | The people between Adam's time and Moses | Matt 5:17 | SBoone | 156350 | ||
What if God's law has never, nor will ever change (Mal 3:6, Ps 111:7,8, Ps 119:89, Heb 13:8, Ps 89:34). What if the 2 great commandments of Matt 22:37-40 applied as equally to the time of Adam to Moses, from Moses to Christ, and from Christ to us. During each time period God desires a people who love Him and serve Him with all their heart (Prov. 3:1) Could it be that all humanity will be judged by the same eternal law? The law that Satan broke in Heaven (He loved self more than God Eze 28:15,16). The law that Adam broke when he believed Satan rather than God (Gen 3:1-5). And the law we each break when we love self more than God or others? | ||||||
11 | You must CHOOSE to believe? | Acts 15:7 | SBoone | 154839 | ||
Joshua 24:15 "Choose whom you will serve" is the closest I could think of. Belief comes by hearing (Rom 10:1-17), through unity (Heb 4:2), through Jesus (Heb 12:2), and we are to contend for it (Jude). | ||||||

13 | was dust meaning dirt or mud? | Gen 2:7 | SBoone | 154823 | ||
Reading on to Gen. 3:19 God told Adam "And to dust you shall return". He made us out of dust, and when we die we return to dust. What we return to seems to be what he used to make us. | ||||||
