1 | Prayer breath of the soul? | Not Specified | SBoone | 155783 | ||
Does anyone know if and where scripture states that prayer is the breath of the soul? | ||||||
2 | Age for baptism? | Bible general Archive 3 | SBoone | 157427 | ||
Hello Doc, Is there Biblical reference to 12 and 13 for Bar Mitzvah? My question is in regard to Baptism. Christ was baptized at the age of 27, but many Christian children are getting baptized at 8, 9, or 10. Would 12 or 13 be a good mark to say that a child who has not reached this age would not be baptized? God Bless, SBoone |

Thanks Makarios, Somebody quoted a 2 Chro. reference stating this and I've not been able to find it either. I appreciate you taking the time to look. SBoone |

5 | was dust meaning dirt or mud? | Gen 2:7 | SBoone | 154823 | ||
Reading on to Gen. 3:19 God told Adam "And to dust you shall return". He made us out of dust, and when we die we return to dust. What we return to seems to be what he used to make us. | ||||||
6 | Where is tithe on non agricultural items | Gen 28:22 | SBoone | 158013 | ||
Hi Michael, That is an interesting question. Does Gen 28:22 encompass more than produce? Jacob while praising God after seeing the vision of the ladder reaching to Heaven says "of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You". In verse 20 he mentions clothing along with food as given from the Lord. God Bless, SBoone |

7 | what is Mose Cushite wife name? | Ex 2:20 | SBoone | 157253 | ||
Moses married Zipporah (Ex 2:21) in the wilderness while working for her father Jethro (AKA Reuel). One child is mentioned, Gershom (Ex 2:22). | ||||||
8 | Was the cushite the first wife or 2nd?? | Ex 2:20 | SBoone | 157259 | ||
Greetings, I'm not sure how clear the Bible is on that point. I assume you are referring to Num. 12:1. Many commentators feel this actually refers to Zipporah. I tend to think this is the case. In Ex 2:16-19 Jethro is mentioned as a Priest in Midian. This would make him a descendant of Abraham. Zipporah shows her disapproval of the circumcision process. Could this indicate that her mother was not of the seed of Abraham. Possibly even Cushite (African or Asian). If you believe that it is a second wife, I'm not aware of any other Biblical detail as to who she is or whether or not they had children. Also, I failed to mention Moses second son Eliezer (Ex 18:3,4). God bless, SBoone |

11 | The people between Adam's time and Moses | Matt 5:17 | SBoone | 156350 | ||
What if God's law has never, nor will ever change (Mal 3:6, Ps 111:7,8, Ps 119:89, Heb 13:8, Ps 89:34). What if the 2 great commandments of Matt 22:37-40 applied as equally to the time of Adam to Moses, from Moses to Christ, and from Christ to us. During each time period God desires a people who love Him and serve Him with all their heart (Prov. 3:1) Could it be that all humanity will be judged by the same eternal law? The law that Satan broke in Heaven (He loved self more than God Eze 28:15,16). The law that Adam broke when he believed Satan rather than God (Gen 3:1-5). And the law we each break when we love self more than God or others? | ||||||
12 | What happens to our soul when we die? | Luke 12:20 | SBoone | 156740 | ||
Hello, Gen 2:7 says dust plus God's breath equals a soul. Eccl 12:7 says death equals dust minus breath. When we die God's breath returns to God, and our bodies return to the earth. A box is made of wood and nails. When you pull the nails out you have wood and nails, but where did the box go? It does not exist until the nails and wood are reunited. At death we sleep (Job 14:12,21 ; Jn 11:11-14 ; 1 Thes 4:13-15 ; Dan 12:13 ; Is 57:1,2 ; Mt 9:24 ) not aware of anything (Jn 146:4 ; Job14:12,21 ; Ps 115:17), but then raised at the 2nd coming where dust is reunited with God's breath (Is 26:19 ; Jn 5:28 ; John 14:2). This is an important issue. In Gen 2:17 God said that when we sin we will die. In Gen 3:4 Satan said when we sin we will not die. God repeats this (Rom 6:23 ; Eze 18:20), and we like Eve now must choose who we will believe. The rampant rise of spiritualism we are experiencing in our world (1Tim 4:1) was made possible because so many people believe that our "Soul" is immortal. God bless your study. |

13 | What happens to our soul when we die? | Luke 12:20 | SBoone | 156799 | ||
Good Morning Mark, I must respectfully disagree that "of course the soul is immortal". The bible never says "Immortal soul", but it does refer to man as mortal several times (see Job 10:5 ; Ps 146:3 ; Is 13:12 ; Lam 3:39 ; Dan 2:11 ; Rom 6:12 ; Rom 8:11 ; 1 Cor 15:53,54 ; 2 Cor 4:11 ; 2 Cor 5:4 ; Heb 7:8) In reference to Is 66:24 I would suggest that the fire that can not be quenched means that the destruction is certain. There is no chance that that fire will be put out until all is destroyed. You will find the same language in Is 34:1-10 in regard to the destruction of Edom. Edom is not still burning today, but rather it burned until there was nothing left. I would say that Mt 25:46 means the punishment is everlasting (Death is the puhishment). They will never escape from death. They will be dead forever. Remember the soul that sins shall die (Eze 18:4). Also check out Jude 7. Here Sodom and Gomorrah are exhibited as an "example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire". They still do not burn today, but rather they burned until they were burned up. 1 Sam 1:22 Hannah took Samuel to serve in the temple "forever" (which meant until his death). Even Satan himself will eventually be completely destroyed (Ez 28:18,19). David says in Ps 37:10 that the wicked will be no more. Mal 4:1 says there will be neither root nor branch left. Ps 145:20 says the wicked will be destroyed. Mt 10:28 says we should fear Him who destroys the soul. Rev 20:9 says that hell fire "devours". Just some point to consider. I will pray that the Lord guides me to the truth in you comments. After all it is His truth not ours. May the Lord bless your study Mark. SBoone |

14 | What happens to our soul when we die? | Luke 12:20 | SBoone | 156808 | ||
Hi Mark, Is 34:9,10 uses the same wording as the verse in Rev 14:9-11, regarding the destruction of Edom. Smoke goes up forever, and with burning that will not be quenched night or day. If after you have thoughtfully and prayerfully considered all the texts on both side of this issue and you can honestly tell yourself (in your heart)that you accept the scriptures as the word of God whether it is in harmony with our theology or not, then you are truly a disciple of Christ (John 8:31,32). I believe this allows room for disagreements in love. As Christians we can agree to disagree and pray for one another that we will be lead by the Spirit to a fuller understanding of scripture (which I understand may be me and I keep 1 Cor 2:13 to heart "which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining the spiritual thoughts with spiritual words"). God Bless |

15 | What happens to our soul when we die? | Luke 12:20 | SBoone | 156835 | ||
Hello Mark, I appreciate your extensive comments. I have taken some time to read through your comments and compare to several commentaries. I've got to say you are correct. I have been taught in the past that Edom's destruction was a specific destruction in the past, but I believe you are correct that it is pointing forward to the end of time. Thank you for setting me straight. Although my example does not hold true I still hold to the other comments that I have shared. Before I comment on Is 66 check out Is 65:17. "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind". Also note 2 Peter 3:10-13. "But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up". Matt 10:28 Christ's words tell us "Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell". Mal 4:1 "For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evil doer will be chaff, and the day that is coming will set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch". Ezekiel 28:18,19 "Therefore I have brought fire from the midst of you; It has consumed you, And I have turned you to ashes on the earth In the eyes of all who see you. All who know you among the peoples are appalled at you; You have become terrified And YOU WILL CEASE TO BE FOREVER". Ps 37:10 "yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more; And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be there". Jer 17:27 gives us a deeper understanding of what it means to not be quenched. "I will kindle a fire in its gates and it will devour the palaces of Jersalem and not be quenched". The fire that is devouring will not be quenched or put out. Now putting Is 66 into context of these other texts (including Is 65:17 just a few verses before) I would say that it means something different than the "miserable, pitiful remaining part" that remains when the rest of the wicked is burned away. The exact same Hebrew word translated worm is found in other places and is simply maggots preying upon dead bodies. This lines up with Is 66 who calls the dead "corpses". See Ex 16:20 worms fouled manna left over night. See Is 14:11 speaks of maggots as the deads covering. I know that Job 25:6 and Ps 22:6 can be used to support your comment of man being being a worm and a reproach, but I believe that in Is 66 you would take the first description so that it is in harmony with the rest of scripture. I probably have blown all credibility with my Edom illustration, but hopefully these texts will show that the Biblical perspective on all issues is so very important to me, in fact it is the only thing (Phil 3:7,8). Thank you again for your comments. SBoone |

16 | What happens to our soul when we die? | Luke 12:20 | SBoone | 156839 | ||
You are absolutely correct. We don't agree to disagree on false theology. Titus 1:9 says "Holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctine and to refute those who contradict. Mark too pointed out that I was misunderstanding the true nature of what was happening in Is 34. Thank you for setting me straight. I am sorry my ingnorance led to this error. Please forgive me. God Bless, SBoone |

18 | What happens to our soul when we die? | Luke 12:20 | SBoone | 156887 | ||
Good morning, Sorry I missed your comment last night. Unfortunately I don't have internet I can use at home other than my palm phone which is impractical to use with much typing. Is 65:17 - I agree that remembrance does not preclude existance. However, in Heaven or the new Earth we would certainly be aware if there were millions of people suffering eternal torment. So to me "the former things will not be remembered or come to mind" would mean at some point the wickeds existance would come to an end so that we could have closure on the sin issue. The key for me in 2 Pet 3:10 is "the earth and its works will be burned up". The earth itself has no works in need of burning up. I would suggest this refers to the unredeemed. Mt 10:28 echoes several texts that talk about the soul being destroyed. In fact here it is very specific that the soul of the unredeemed will be destroyed in hell. The everlasting punishment again is death. Their death is everlasting. Once they are destoyed that act will not be undone. Mal 4:1 I agree this is a metaphor. I interpret it as a metaphor for the end of time (What is your understanding?). I don't disagree that root and branch refer to lineage. I read this verse that "every evildoer will be chaff" burned to dust, and that the root and branch that is represented in the lineage by this individual will be cut off and burned. This will leave them nothing. See also John 15:6 "If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned". Ez 28:18,19 The different translations don't change my understanding of these texts. In fact they seem to afirm it. In vs. 18 NKJV says "I brought fire from you midst; It devoured you, and I turned you to ashes" Youngs is very similar as is KJV. The ashes that result from the devouring of the unredeemed lead to vs. 19 where "you have become a horror, and shall be no more forever"NKJV. Ps 37:10 I too wish I had a better understanding of Hebrew also. I agree with your understanding of the context, but would suggest that vs. 10 and 20 is predicting the destruction of the wicked. Mark, you really are very thorough in your study. I believe this is how we are to study the Bible. Is 28:9,10 tells us to do this. Then John 14:26 tells us that the Holy Spirit will teach us. Another way to look at this issue would be to ask why is it important. Is the belief one way or the other opening doors of opportunity to Satan? I would suggest that the fact that over one billion persons are going to pray to a dead person today is very troubling as a Christian. I don't know how many will hear responses, but I know many claim to do so. In your opinion to whom are these people speaking? If they hear a response whom have they heard from? If you were to stand on scripture to show a child of God why they should not pray to the dead how would you do it? I really enjoy studying with you. It appears the Lord is with you and I do not take lightly your comments or viewpoints. I spent quite a bit of time in prayer this morning asking the Lord to lead me to His truth. SBoone |

Hi Mark, Someone made the comment to me that perhaps I was jumping into these discussions too carelessly. Are the people answering questions usually pastors? Should a layperson like myself not be answering questions? I don't want to rock the boat. Thanks, SBoone |
