2 | Almighty and Mighty God | Is 9:6 | sisterkath | 77945 | ||
Hi Tim, At Isaiah 9:6 Jesus Christ is prophetically called 'El Gib.bohr', "Mighty God" not 'El Shad-dai' "God Almighty, which is applied to Jehovah at Genesis 17:1. The plural form, 'e.lim', is used when referring to other gods, such as at Exodus 15:11 "gods". It is also used as the plural of majesty and excellence, as in Psalm 89:6; "Who can resemble Jehovah among the sons of God", bi.beneh' 'E.lim'? That the plural form is used to demote a single individual here and in a number of other places is supported by the translation of 'E.lim' by the singular form The.os in the Greek Septuagint; likewise by Deus in the Latin Vulgate. Among the Hebrew words that are translated "God" is 'El, meaning "Mighty One; Strong One." Ge 14:18. It is used with reference to Jehovah, to other gods, and to men. It is also used extensively in the makeup of proper names, such as Elisha; meaning "God is Salvation" and Michael; "Who Is Like God?". In some places 'El appears with the definite article; ha.'El', literally, "the God" with reference to Jehovah, thereby distinguishing him from other gods. Ge 46:3; 2 Sa 22:31. The word "Almighty", itself shows a higher ranking, Ezekiel 32:21. sisterkath |

3 | Queen of Sheba's Home Today? | 2 Chr 9:1 | sisterkath | 77605 | ||
In order to know who "the Queen of Sheba" is today, I will give you other scriptures, and you can compare them. 1 Kings 10:1 Now the queen of She'ba was hearing the report about Sol'o'mon in connection with the name of Jehovah. So she came to test him with perplexing questions. Or, "with riddles." Isaiah 60:6 The heaving mass of camels itself will cover you, the young male camels of Mid'i'an and E'phah. All those from She'ba--they will come. Gold and frankincense they will carry. And the praises of Jehovah they will announce. Luke 11:31 The queen of the south will be raised up in the judgment with the men of this generation and will condemn them; because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Sol'o'mon, but, look! something more than Sol'o'mon is here. sisterkath |

4 | Can I remarry and be forgiven by god | Luke 7:47 | sisterkath | 77581 | ||
Hi Tonysanchez, At 1 Cor. 7:10-16; "To the married people I give instructions, yet not I but the Lord, that a wife should not depart from her husband; but if she should actually depart, let her remain unmarried or else make up again with her husband; and a husband should not leave his wife. Jehovah hates a divorcing. Mal. 2:15, 16 Matt. 19:8,9 Jesus said to them; "Moses, out of regard for your hardheartedness, made the concession to you of divorcing your wives, but such has not been the case from the beginning. I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery." Also see; Rom. 7:2,3; 1 Cor. 6:9-11 sisterkath |

6 | Need translation on Luke 7 37-38 not 47 | Luke 7:47 | sisterkath | 77573 | ||
Hi, If I may share with you what Matthew Henry's Commentary Book says about these two verses. Now in what this good woman did, we may observe. 1. Her deep humiliation for sin. She stood behind him weeping; her eyes had been the inlets and outlets of sin, and now she makes them fountains of tears. Her face is now foul with weeping, which perhaps used to be covered with paints. Her hair now made a towel of, which before had been plaited and adorned. We have reason to think that she had before sorrowed for sin; but, now that she had an opporunity of coming into the presence of Christ, the wound bled afresh and her sorrow was renewed. Note. It well becomes penitents, upon all their approaches to Christ, to renew their godly sorrow and shame for sin, when he is pacified. Eze. 16:63. 2. Her strong affection to the Lord Jesus. This was what our Lord Jesus took special notice of, that she loved much, v 42, 47. She washed his feet, in token of her ready submission to the meaanest office in which she might do him honour. Nay, she washed them with her tears, tears of joy; she was in a transport, to find herself so near her Saviour, whom her soul loved. She kissed his feet, as one unworthy of the kisses of his mouth, which the spouse coveted, Cant. 1:2. It was a kiss of adoration as well as affection. She wiped them with her hair, as one entirely devoted to his honour. Her eyes shall yield water to wash them, and her hair be a towel to wip them; and she anointed his feet with the ointment, owning him hereby to be the Messiah, the Anointed. She anointed his feet in token of her consent to God's design in anointing his head with the oil of gladness. Note, All true penitents have a dear love to the Lord Jesus. |

7 | John 1:18 "only begotten God". | John 1:18 | sisterkath | 76606 | ||
Hi Truthfinder, Not only the verse John 1:18 in the NIV, sounds bad, but so does the understanding of it. They say: God the One and Only. An explicit declaration of Christ's deity, see vv. 1:14 and notes; 3:16, has made him known. Sometimes in the OT people are said to have seen God, Ex 24:9-11. But we are also told that no one can see God and live, Ex 32:20. Therefore, since no human being can see God as he really is, those who saw God saw him in a form he took on himself temporarily for the occasion. Now, however, Christ has made him known. I'm glad you pointed this out, for my way of thinking is not this. I don't really think, those who saw God, saw him in a form he took on himself temporarily. What are your views on that statement? Why would God Jehovah have to take on a different form, when he had Jesus, his Son on earth? This here doesn't make any kind of sense to me!! |

According to the NIV, it states: two by two. The purpose of going in pairs may have been to boister credibility by having the testimony of more than one witness Dt 17:6, as well as to provide mutual support during their training period. | ||||||
11 | What country controlled the use of iron? | 1 Samuel | sisterkath | 76092 | ||
Holman Bible Dictionary (Iron) states; Older scholars taught that the Philistines held an iron monopoly over Israel. Increased availability of iron corresponds to the period of Philistia's collapse, and 1 Samuel records that the Philistines prevented smiths from working in Israel (1 Sam. 13:19-21). However, excavations in Philistia have uncovered no more iron implements than in Israelite cities. This suggests that the prohibition of smiths in Israel may refer to workers in bronze rather than iron or that for a period of history the Philistines had an economic and perhaps technological advantage, being able to control the iron industry. |

13 | God not around sin how satan go to him | Bible general Archive 1 | sisterkath | 75295 | ||
Could you please show me where in The Bible it states that "GOD cannot be in the presence of sin"? GOD is saying to satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God, and shuns evil." Satan says to God, (13) But stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will curse you to your face." The contest, however, is not a sham. Will Job curse God to his face? If Job does not, the accuser will be proven false and God's delight in Job vindicated. NIV |

15 | Is the first resurrection, the rapture? | Bible general Archive 1 | sisterkath | 75097 | ||
Sorry Searcher, I said CDBJ. About the Resurrected at Revelation 20:4,6. "I saw thrones, and there were those who sat down on them, and power of judging was given them. Yes, I saw the souls of those executed with the ax for the witness they bore to Jesus and for speaking about God. And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years." As clearly stated, it is not "the rest of the dead" who share in the first resurrection. That resurrection is for those who rule with Christ for the thousand years. Does this mean that no others of mankind will live during the thousand years except the ones who rule in heaven with Christ? No; because, if such were the case, it would mean that there was no one on behalf of whom they were serving as priests, and their domain would be a desolate globe. Who are "the rest of the dead"? They are all those of mankind who died as a result of Adamic sin and those who, though survivors of the great tribulation or those who may be born during the Millennium, need to be relieved of the death-dealing effects of such sin. Compare Ephesians 2:1. NWT. Reasoning from the Scriptures. |

16 | Is the first resurrection, the rapture? | Bible general Archive 1 | sisterkath | 75096 | ||
Hi CDBJ, The word "Rapture" does not accur in the inspired Scriptures. But I know you are refering to 1 Thessalonians 4:17, where it states; Afterward we the living who are surviving will, together with them, be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Verse 15 says, these are the faithful ones "who are left until the coming of the Lord," [they are still living at the time of Christ's coming]. They will instantly be "caught up," in the twinkling of an eye, to be with the Lord. (1 Cor. 15:51,52) The Oxford Bible Commentary says, "Here we have a futurist myth derived partly from Israelite tradition but given a new slant in the context of the belief in Christ's death and resurrection which saw him exalted to the right hand of God (Acts 2:33; Rom 8:34). The myth deals with Christ's descent (based on his preceding ascent to God) which presupposes a first-century cosmology in which heaven is located above the earth. The cry of command is probably to be taken as uttered by Jesus and as addressed to the dead that they should rise. A trumpet also appears in connection with resurrection and the end time at 1 Cor 15:52 (also see Isa 27:13; Zeph 1:14-16). While most myths relate to past events, helping a particular group to gain access to its formative, primordial past, a myth of the future such as this is rather different. It serves to stress the goal rather than the basis of a social order and thus has a presciptive rather than a proscriptive function. Paul's Thessalonian converts would have been reassured by the details of this narrative that another order of reality existed, and that the difficult events of their present and recent past were occurring within a context controlled by heavenly forces who would ultimately restore their fortunes beyond their wildest dreams. Yet although the creation of hope in a future vindication forms part of such mythopoiesis, it is not the end of the story. For a futurist myth such as this also creates an imaginary experience in the present of that which is to come, and thus reinforces the social identity of its addressees at a time when they are exposed to external threat. |
