1 | How old was Adam when Cain was born? | Not Specified | 00123 | 180788 | ||
How old was Adam when Cain was born? Some Bible genealogy books and Internet sites say Cain, Adam's first son, was born when Adam was one year old or so. Of course, Adam's apparent age must be of an adult's even one second after being created. And there is no doubt he could be a father from the very beginning of his creation. But I don't crealy see a Biblical evidence from readings that Adam and Cain were one year or so apart in age. Anyone has some insight into this issue? Thank you. |

2 | The right presidential candidate | Not Specified | 00123 | 188428 | ||
After He (God) had removed him (Saul), He raised up David to be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, 'I HAVE FOUND DAVID the son of Jesse, A MAN AFTER MY HEART, who will do all My will.' Acts 13:22 I believe participating in the election is a Christian's duty. My question is: In this coming presidential election, which candidate is the right person to vote for from the Biblical perspective? Why? |

Following the Lord's Prayer, we start our prayer by calling "our Father" first. (Question 1) But I wonder if people in fact called God "our Father" in their prayer either in the OT or NT. (Question 2) If not, what name did they call? Thank you for your reply. | ||||||

In the funeral, pastor usually says that the dead went to the heaven. What is the biblical basis of this argument? Isn't the Bible saying that the dead sleeps, waiting for resurrection, which takes place at Christ's coming? | ||||||

7 | The right presidential candidate | Bible general Archive 3 | 00123 | 188442 | ||
Dear CDBJ, My understanding is the USA was founded as a Christian nation and on the Biblical principles. It has been an American tradition to elect people who love God and do His will. So, pastors gave Christians so-called "election sermons" and evaluated candidates from the Biblical views. So, it is sad that the church is not involved in elections any more, setting aside politics as a non-Christian matter or accepting the secluar views that the candidate's capabilities are more important than his/her godly character. It is also sad that we prison ourselves to the Bible, ignoring how to live as salt and light to the world, which requires us to critically think everything (including politics) from the Biblical views. For example, the Bible implies AntiChrist will appear as a political figure. If we exclude politics from the Christian life, it is like we don't mind AntiChrist's appearance. I don't see what's wrong with my question on who is the right person for Christians to vote for in this forum. I wanted to see how the Bible, our ultimate life standards, can be applied to the presidential election. I hope we live out a Christian life in every aspect of our daily life issue. |

Hi, John, The American Constitution was based on John Locke's idea of Lex Rex: The prince (that is, our president) should obey God's law. Almost every element of the Constitution came from God's law (that is, the Bible). The Congress always prayed to God ardently before starting the sessions and a minister prayed for the Congress. We started as a Christina nation although I don't think we still are. But I hope American Christians remmeber and work hard to keep our beautiful heritage. God bless! |

9 | The right presidential candidate | Bible general Archive 3 | 00123 | 188464 | ||
Hi, John, I wonder why we should not discuss in this forum which presidential candidate is biblical when we discuss whether or not abortion, homosexuality, stem cell research, evolution, or UFO is biblical. I had no intention to debate on politics (read my original question carefully please), but as a Christian, I wanted to be a voter responsible to the Bible, thinking of which candidate God would be pleased with. I think we should know whether each candidate and his/her policies are biblical. Critically debating on every daily life issue used to be our Christian tradition. So, the church discussed not only the Bible, but the Biblical way of doing a variety of things such as philosophy, art, science, literature, and business. But recently the Church has been accepting the secular pressure that the religion should be constrained inside the church and separated from everything else. I personally think that is today’s Christian myopia which reduces God’s influence over the world. We Christians should live a Christian life in every field of life, I believe. God bless! |

Hi, John, Thanks for your responses and kindness. And I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know the Christian websites where people discuss the presidential candidates from the biblical, not political, perspectives? God bless! |

13 | Birth place of Cain and Abel | Gen 4:1 | 00123 | 188589 | ||
Two questions: (1) Were Cain and Abel born in Eden? (2) Did Adam become Cain’s father at age 2? The following is interesting from http://marshallgenealogy.org/bible/index.htm#TOC.

"In his (Peleg's) days the earth was divided." What was meant by the word "divided"? I mean, was the earth (globe) in a different shape before Peleg's time? How? Thank you. | ||||||
15 | The earth divided in Peleg's time? | Gen 10:25 | 00123 | 190199 | ||
Hi, CDBJ, Thanks for your reply. By the way, do you mean the earth is civilization or men, but not the land? Is there no possibility the verse refers to a geographic reshaping of the landscape of the earth? -oo123 | ||||||

18 | Does God approve of slavery? | Lev 25:44 | 00123 | 232553 | ||
I think God must have displeased with slavery like he did with divorce. I don’t believe God would approve slavery. Every ugly thing came to existence from man’s sin since Adam. Having that said, we should notice that some type of slavery is beautiful, not ugly at all. In the Bible, Christ’s apostles loved to call themselves “doulos” (literally, a slave): • Romans 1:1 From Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for God's good news. • Galatians 1:10 If I were still trying to please people, I wouldn't be Christ's slave. • Colossians 4:7 Tychicus, our dearly loved brother, faithful minister, and fellow slave in the Lord • Colossians 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, says hello. He's a slave of Christ Jesus who always wrestles for you in prayers so that you will stand firm and be fully mature and complete in the entire will of God. • 2 Timothy 2:24 God's slave shouldn't be argumentative but should be kind toward all people, able to teach, patient • Titus 1:1 From Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. • James 1:1 From James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. • 2 Peter 1:1 From Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ. • Jude 1:1 Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ and brother of James. God’s or Jesus’ slave used to be the most honorable title given to early church Christians who followed Jesus Christ wholeheartedly. |

19 | Books for a high-tean girl to read | Deut 6:7 | 00123 | 189081 | ||
As a father, I feel obliged to teach my kids well in every field of life. A summer vacation is coming. My 9th grade daughter wants to read books in the summer. She is a bookworm reading many books, but I hope she could develp a Christian worldview and understands every writing from God's point of view through reading. Anyhow, would you recommend books good in content and style for a high-teen girl to read? Any genre (fiction or non-fiction) is welcome. Thank you. | ||||||
20 | A retrospection on Rev. Falwell | Deut 11:26 | 00123 | 190296 | ||
What do you think now of the opinions of Late Rev. Jerry Falwell said regarding the attack on the World Trade Centers? I personally agree with him, who lived his life as a great warrior for the Lord, but Christians' sin is not smaller as a cause of the 9.11 tragedy than the types of sinners he pinpointed, I think. However, I see no sign of reformation or repentance in the American Christianity while it is badly needed. Here is an excerpt from the Washington Post: Friday, September 14, 2001; Page C03 Television evangelists Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, two of the most prominent voices of the religious right, said liberal civil liberties groups, feminists, homosexuals and abortion rights supporters bear partial responsibility for Tuesday's terrorist attacks because their actions have turned God's anger against America. "God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve," said Falwell, appearing yesterday on the Christian Broadcasting Network's "700 Club," hosted by Robertson. "Jerry, that's my feeling," Robertson responded. "I think we've just seen the antechamber to terror. We haven't even begun to see what they can do to the major population." Falwell said the American Civil Liberties Union has "got to take a lot of blame for this," again winning Robertson's agreement: "Well, yes." Then Falwell broadened his blast to include the federal courts and others who he said were "throwing God out of the public square." He added: "The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen.' " People for the American Way transcribed the broadcast and denounced the comments as running directly counter to President Bush's call for national unity. Ralph G. Neas, the liberal group's president, called the remarks "absolutely inappropriate and irresponsible." Robertson and others on the religious right gave critical backing to Bush last year when he was battling for the GOP presidential nomination. A White House official called the remarks "inappropriate" and added, "The president does not share those views." Falwell was unrepentant, saying in an interview that he was "making a theological statement, not a legal statement." "I put all the blame legally and morally on the actions of the terrorist," he said. But he said America's "secular and anti-Christian environment left us open to our Lord's [decision] not to protect. When a nation deserts God and expels God from the culture . . . the result is not good." Robertson was not available for comment, a spokeswoman said. But she released a statement echoing the remarks he made on his show. An ACLU spokeswoman said the group "will not dignify the Falwell-Robertson remarks with a comment." |
