1 | Sheol -- Hell? or pit? | Not Specified | Radar | 52968 | ||
The Hebrew word "sheol" appears 66 times in the Hebrew scripture. About half of these are translated "hell" and about half are translated "grave." QUESTION: How was the EARLY reader to distinguish between a "place of everlasting torment" and "a hole in the ground" without the wisdom of King James' translators to help him? |
||||||
2 | Could the "2 witnesses" be ... | Not Specified | Radar | 53290 | ||
Any thoughts on the theory that the "two witnesses" in Rev. 11:3 will be Enoch and Elijah based on "it is appointed unto man once to die," and they apparently did not experience a physical death? | ||||||

4 | dead bury the dead? | NT general Archive 1 | Radar | 53205 | ||
Shalom, Ed Here's another to add to Simchat's list: Compare Matt. 11:12 with Micah 2:13 and make a connection between them without knowing something about the idioms of the day. Radar |

5 | is the rapture time soon? | Matt 24:36 | Radar | 53004 | ||
Compare prophecy with today's newspaper. How far off do you think it can be? For a biblical possibility of the timing of the "rapture," try this -- http://webbpage.topcities.com/Lessons/trump.html |

6 | is the rapture time soon? | Matt 24:36 | Radar | 53021 | ||
Shalom, Justme I thought people might think about Radar O'Riley. Sometimes I really feel like him -- misunderstood. Oy, vay! Speaking of understanding, you didn't say if you read the web page I included. I really believe that God uses His Holy Days for special reasons, not just as some sort of celebration thrown in to occupy the Hebrews' time. And what He says, He will do! There's something in your profile I'd like to talk to you about if you'll either e-mail me or visit the guestbook on the link from my page above. In His Love John |

7 | when baptized "in the name of jesus"? | Matt 28:19 | Radar | 52965 | ||
Stebert, Your question got me to thinking a little bit (UH-oh!) There is so much eisegetical interpretation of the Bible these days that we overlook the obvious. Jesus didn't say that we have to SAY that it's "in the name of..." "In the name of" means "by the authority or the power of." We are to DO the baptism in God's name; we don't actually have to SAY that it is by His authority. But all parties must know Who is in charge. Think about it. BTW, Jewish baptism, or ritual immersion, is as old as the "Law" which God gave to Moses. But in Judaism, one doesn't baptize another. The individual baptizes him/herself. The person (who was previously required to be unclothed completely) enters the water, spreads his legs, stretches out his arms and spreads his fingers, opens his mouth, and dips HIMSELF. The "baptizer" is only a witness to ensure that every hair goes under the water. If not, the baptism is not "kosher." Shalom. |

8 | what where jesus's miracles as a child? | Luke 2:46 | Radar | 52967 | ||
Stebert, Your question leads me to believe that you may have been reading something like "The Lost Books of the Bible." I certainly hope this is not the case! These are some of the most blasphemous writings about our Lord ever put to paper! The above verse is the closest thing we have scripturally to Jesus performing a miracle, i.e., astonishing the teachers with his wisdom. It was the custom for a Jewish young man to study for his profession and not really be ready to completely fulfill it until the age of 30. So, since Jesus was a rabbi, this fits the time of His life when he started going about preaching the Kingdom of God. Shalom. |

9 | Is it ok to eat animals for food | Acts 10:13 | Radar | 53164 | ||
As for the actual killing, the Jews developed methods of severing the veins, arteries, trachea, and nerves in the neck so that there is very little pain to the animal and death is almost instantaneous. This is one of the primary aspects of "kosher" food, where slaughter is overseen by a Rabbi to ensure that these measures are followed. And even in the New Testament, it is prohibited to take of the blood. (Acts 15:20,29) | ||||||

11 | Could the "2 witnesses" be ... | Heb 11:13 | Radar | 53356 | ||
Shalom, Johnny Read Heb. 11 again and you will see that in verse 13 the writer says "These all died in faith" and is speaking about those mentioned above which do not include Elijah, and "Enoch was translated that he should not see death." So, once again, these two men have not yet experienced physical death. |

12 | Angels watching over us! | Heb 13:2 | Radar | 53192 | ||
Shalom, Grace I would start by looking up what the word "angel" (messenger) means with all its connotations. Not all "angelic" beings, i.e., heavenly spirits, are actually angels. For instance, cherubim (singular - cherub) and seraphim (sing. - seraph) may occasionally be sent as messangers, but generally the position of the cherubim is around the throne of God, as on the Ark of the Covenant. Seraphim, on the other hand, are more like a firey serpent (Spiros Zodhiates, Lexicon of the Old Testament). Start with a good condordance and lexicon. The NASB concordance is, I believe, in some respects preferable to Strong's, especially since it actually divides some of Strong's numbers into "A" and "B" such as for saraph (8314). And don't go into your study with old stereotyped ideas about angels which may be wrong. For instance, you won't find in the Bible where angels SING! ;-) |
