1 | Same Korah n Ps 45 AND Num 16 | Num 16:1 | Rolff | 242397 | ||
Fascinating, part of the story I learned as a boy. Wrote part of the Bible, rebelled and the earth swallowed him. So choir directors have been trouble makers since at least 1000 bce. :) Thank you for your help. | ||||||
2 | Theos - Adonai | Bible general | Rolff | 241388 | ||
I can read Greek with helps, and can pick up YHWH in the Hebrew text. Your comments now make much sense. It was an AhHa moment in church on Sunday. Thanks. |

Good answer. Thank you for the humor and satisfying answer. | ||||||
4 | ADULTRY VS BIGAMY #3 | Ex 21:10 | Rolff | 221932 | ||
Thanks, he said with a tongue firmly in cheek, I'll move to Africa or Asia and enjoy my four legal wives using your advice. Civil law is not Moses' law and my question came from Exodus 20:14 (no adultry) and Exodus 21:10 (here is the rules for your second woman.) This is one man and two women any way you look at these two chapters and I wondered out loud what was the difference. We've spent enough time on this, I'll move on. |

5 | Why is bigamy ok but adultry isn't? | Ex 21:10 | Rolff | 221930 | ||
It sure doesn't say it is wrong. David had 19 reported wives/concubines/women and he was a friend of God. I'm not sure I want one gunaika, but we hear to an extreme, adultry is sin. NO ONE preaches that bigamy is not forbidden in God's eyes. What is the difference? One man, two women in two chapters of Exodus.(Exodus 20:14 and 21:10) |

John, Val and Doc, The answers to the question Re Deuteronomy 5 and 13 is one of the best interactions I have seen on this forum. I appreciated all the answers. We all answered within 30 minutes and I did not know others had posted or I would not have put my second two bits in. |

8 | Need feedback on Genesis? | Bible general Archive 4 | Rolff | 210604 | ||
Steve, Is the quote, ""God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him...Sin is what we do when we are not satisfied with God." from Desiring God by John Piper? If so I need to give him credit on my website. |

9 | Need feedback on Genesis? | Bible general Archive 4 | Rolff | 210576 | ||
Homosexuality and Incest, read all about it in Genesis 19. Sin by any name is still sin. The farther we move from creation the less marriage between siblings was necessary. Actually, while it makes sense for Cain to marry one of his sisters, we don’t know where Cain’s wife came from; while I doubt it God could have created her. God knows more about sin than we know about sin; He has watched sin since creation. As much as God hates sin, he put the sin of the world on himself at the cross. Let’s praise God for his creation and cross work. "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him...Sin is what we do when we are not satisfied with God." Copied |

10 | Need feedback on Genesis? | Bible general Archive 4 | Rolff | 210572 | ||
I missed your question. Let me go on a bit and you can refine your question if I miss. Genesis means beginning in Greek. Since Genesis is a Hebrew book, the Greek name was introduced in the Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures. It is one of the first five books written by Moses called the Pentateuch. In Genesis we find the introduction to God, the beginning of light, stars, dirt, water, birds, bugs, Homo sapiens, both male and female. The beginning of the family, murder, nations, bigamy, war, incest, prostitution and gives hope thru the promise of a redeemer in Genesis 3:15 and 49:10. I am fascinated by the Angel of the Lord, introduced in Chapter 16. He talks like God, allows worship, can do miracles and yet is never called God. Genesis is about beginnings on earth. Revelation takes many of these same themes and shows the satisfaction and completion of the thread started in Genesis. |

11 | Is king solomon a black man | 1 Kin 2:1 | Rolff | 209954 | ||
You may be mixing up Solomon with the Queen of Sheba who came to visit King Solomon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheba, “[Sheba] is disputed between southern Arabia and the Horn of Africa; the kingdom may have been situated in either present-day Ethiopia or present-day Yemen, or both.” If in Africa the Queen of Sheba would most likely have been chocolate brown to black. We don't know what color any of the Kings of Israel/Judah were, but the Jews were 400 years removed from a 430 year stay in Egypt, which is in Africa. It is highly improbable that Solomon (950 BC) was dark but not impossible as Jewish people after the Diaspora (70 AD) are albino to black. |

12 | Where do angels sing in the Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | Rolff | 208612 | ||
I wanted to thank you for sending me to their bio's and the links. Using the illustration Jesus used of the 10 lepers and only one returned to thank Jesus, I try to thank people that help me along the way. This I did whether they read it or not. Thanks again for your help in making my Christian Education page even stronger and better. | ||||||
13 | Where do angels sing in the Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | Rolff | 208607 | ||
Markarios and Kalos, I was sent to your bios on Study Bible Forum to check out your links and happen to find this question. Check out JOB 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? One of the possible meanings of this verse is angels singing and shouting over one that comes into the Kingdom. |

15 | how do i get control of my will? | Colossians | Rolff | 207727 | ||
Walk for Christ, Welcome to the forum! How do you stop your bad habits. Start by reading Romans 7, Paul had the same problem. The things I want to do, I do not. The things I don't want to do, I am doing. Then move on to Romans, Chapter 8 which gives us the victory. God made them male and female. Once God made a man, he did not declare things good, but made woman and then said, it was "very good." Scripture expects a man to have a wife and to express his God given sex drive inside marriage. We have three spiritual enemies. The world, the flesh and the devil. We are to be in the world but not of the world. If your car works well and gets you to work, why get a fancy new car? This is the world. The Devil influences us to be lazy, lie and kill (John 8:44) among other temptations. But for many men the problem is the flesh. Wine, women, song, smoking, and drinking/drugs, we are to consider ourselves dead to sin. Gal 2:20. I personally have found 1. cold showers, 2. exercise does wonders to change the mind and clean it up. 3. Read my Bible and 4. pray. Prayer and Bible reading don't work so well when I am in the middle of temptation, 5. do something else like walk/run until I am exhausted when tempted works the best for me. |

16 | Questioning Apostasy | John 10:28 | Rolff | 207600 | ||
We can question all things based on Scripture. The Bible is our Canon, or measuring stick to measure all things, especially ourselves. Something is either correct or not based on God's Word. This evaluation should be done in love and many times I keep my thoughts to myself. I do hope I have answered your question, if not please restate your question and I will make another effort. Blessings, as you try to discern the hard things of Spiritual warfare. |

20 | Four Missionary Journeys? | 2 Tim 1:1 | Rolff | 206990 | ||
The answer to your question will only come by your own study of scripture. I personally, give very little credance (sp) to things not said in scripture. You will need to study this for yourself and make your own opinion on this topic. I stick with my answer, but you are welcome to disagree with me. |
