2 | who named the angels | Bible general Archive 2 | winged1 | 133447 | ||
Luke 1:26 "In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town is Galilee" Revelation 12:7 "And there was a great war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back" Gabriel's name comes from the Bible and not from human tradtition. So does Michael. Usually, Gabriel serves as a messenger whenever he is mentioned. Michael seems to be a general of some sort, but that's only my opinion. Hope this helps, God bless Jo |

3 | Please pray for my friend? | James 5:16 | winged1 | 133023 | ||
My friend is back in his dorm and back in his classes again. Thanks to everyone who prayed for him. He seems fine, but of course, only God knows the heart. James 5:16 "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." Thanks again and God bless Jo |

4 | Who is Mary Magdalene? | Luke 7:37 | winged1 | 131600 | ||
John 8:1-11 I have some more passages. I have found the passage of the woman about to be stoned. The NIV calls her simply a "woman caught in the act of adultery". I'm sorry that, so far, I've only told you who isn't Mary Magdalene. There is a passage in Luke I think that lists some of the women who went with Jesus and the disciples and helped them. Mary Magdalene is listed amoung them. The one place I'm certain she is named is John 20:1-18 and the corresponding passages in the other Gospels. Mary Magdalene visits Jesus' tomb and finds the stone rolled away, so runs back to tell Peter and John. After they leave, she stays in the garden and Jesus appears to her and talks with her. She then tells the disciples who see Jesus a day or two later. There may be other times when Mary Magdalene is mentioned, but these are the ones I have found. I hope that this is a help. God bless Jo |

5 | Who is Mary Magdalene? | Luke 7:37 | winged1 | 131482 | ||
Hey JoAnn So far, I have only found two instances of Jesus' feet being anointed with expensive oil or perfume, and neither was done by Mary Magdalene. The first was in Luke 7:37-50. Jesus and His disciples are invited to Simon the pharisee's house for dinner. While they are there, a woman the NIV describes only as "a women who had lived a sinful life in that town" comes in. By all accounts I've heard, she was probably a prostitute. She brought with her an alabaster jar of perfume. She wet his feet with her tears, died them with her hair and poured perfume on them. In the custom of that day, guests were greeted with a kiss on the cheek, water to wash their feet, and a little oil for their head. Simon apparantly did none of these, but the woman did. She did more because she had been forgiven of more. At the end of the story, Jesus says that her faith saved her. The second instance comes from John 12:1-8. This happens after Jesus brought Lazarus back to life and right before the Triumphal entry. This was six days before Jesus was crucified. He and his disciples are staying at the house of the siblings Mary, Martha, and Lazarus in Bethany. While they are there, Mary takes a pint of nard, a kind of perfume, pours it on Jesus' feet and wipes them with her hair. The scent of the perfume fills the house. When Judas grumbles about the expense, Jesus afirms her action, saying that it is in preparation for his burial, when the body is embalmed with spices and perfumes. There very well be at least one more incident like this, but right now, I don't think so. The gospels are very confusing on these things since there are perhaps four or five different Marys mentioned. However, if you just look through each case or perhaps made a list to sort out who did what, it might help. God bless Jo |

6 | What prophet did this? | 2 Kin 4:41 | winged1 | 131472 | ||
Hey, jalanlambet, The prophet was Elisha. In my translation, (NIV), it says that it was a pot of stew and Elisha put some flour in and then there was no more poison. Of course, there wasn't anything particularly special about the flour, but God's power was at work. What's interesting though, is immediately following this story is a short account of Elisha mulitplying loaves of bread by God's power. Jesus' miracle of feeding the five thousand in the New Testament was not completely unprecedented. Hope I was a help. God bless Jo |
