In Matthew 18:21-22 is there any connection to Daniel 9:24-27? Is Jesus using this number to remind Peter of how forgiving God is and remind us to imitate Him as dear children Ias Paul says in Ephesians 5:1)? Or is it just a coincidence that this number appears twice in the Scriptures? | ||||||

9 | Who was Theophilus? | Not Specified | loavesnfish | 232068 | ||
Luke 1:3 and Acts 1:1 show that these writings were addressed to someone named Theophilus. Who was Theophilus? I have heard that one of the high priests appointed by the Romans, who was related to Annas and Caiaphas, was also named Theophilus. Could Luke have been addressing him in defense of Paul? |

10 | Ezekiel's Temple vision-when, why, who? | Not Specified | loavesnfish | 232085 | ||
Concerning Ezekiel's vision of the Temple in chapters 40-44: 1. Which temple is this (i.e. when)? 2. What are the sacrifices for? 3. Who is the prince? 4. What do all the measurements mean (symbolism if any)? I have read several commentaries on these chapters and I am still confused. |
||||||
11 | Ezekiel 40-44 measurements? | Not Specified | loavesnfish | 232091 | ||
Thanks for answering, Beja. I follow your reasoning, but I still don't understand about all the measurements, which seem to be intended as literal. If Ezekiel's vision was only symbolic, how do they fit in? By the way, if one menorah is an almond tree, does that mean that ten (as in Solomon's Temple) are an orchard (like the garden in Eden)? loavesnfish |

12 | Offerings of Proverbs 7 adulteress? | Not Specified | loavesnfish | 232098 | ||
In Proverbs 7:14-15 the adulteress (of verse 5) mentions having offered peace offerings to fulfill her vows. Is this her way of offering her victim a "steak" dinner (lamb shank or some meat) so he will come home with her? My understanding is that when peace offerings were offered, the people who offered ate the meat at the temple. Or was that only the priestly families? Also in verses 19-20 she says that her husband is on a business trip and won't be back for a long time. How was she able to make an offering without his help? Were women able to make offerings on their own without a male relative? | ||||||
13 | Zech.14:16-17 key to Ezekiel 40:41, 43? | Not Specified | loavesnfish | 232112 | ||
Ezekiel 40:41,43 shows animal sacrifices on the tables in what many have called the temple of the messianic kingdom. Those who consider this the millennial temple agree that Hebrews 10 makes it clear that Jesus was the last sacrifce needed. These are explained as memorials. In Zechariah 14:16-17 there are mandatory sacrifices made yearly at Tabernacles as a sign of submission to God. Could these be the offerings pictured in Ezekiel 40:41,43? | ||||||
14 | 1 Sam. 28:8 guilt by association? | Not Specified | loavesnfish | 232183 | ||
In 1 Samuel 28 Saul, king of Israel, visits the medium at Endor who had escaped his previous order to destroy all the mediums. Leviticus 20:6,27 and Deuteronomy 18:10-12 dictated that mediums and those who used them should be put to death. 1 Sam. 28:8 mentions the two men who went with Saul. Were they also guilty for going along? Should they have refused to obey? Or should they have reported Saul and stoned him? How could they have obeyed God in this situation? | ||||||
15 | Why did she feed Saul? | Not Specified | loavesnfish | 232184 | ||
In 1 Samuel 28:21-25 the medium insists on feeding Saul and Saul's servants agree with her. Why does she do this? Does the Bible ever tell what happened to her? | ||||||
16 | Who was Abraham's heir before Eliezer? | Not Specified | loavesnfish | 232207 | ||
In Genesis 15:2-3, Eliezer, Abram's servant, is the only one left who could inherit from Abram. 1. Was Abram resentful due to losing Lot? Previously, Abram sort of dragged Lot along with him wherever he went, despite God's command to leave his father's family behind. 2. Could this indicate that Abram had adopted his nephew when his brother died? 3. Then when Abram offered Lot his choice of land and he chose Sodom, was he receiving an inheritance of some kind? |

17 | Was Samuel a priest?or just a prophet? | Not Specified | loavesnfish | 232239 | ||
I Samuel 2:18 says Samuel "was ministering before the LORD, as a boy wearing a linen ephod." What does this mean? What was he actually doing? I Samuel 3:1 says, "the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD before Eli." Was he doing the same as in I Samuel 2:18? If not, what was he doing? Since his father was from Ephraim, didn't that prevent him from being a priest? Or was he a special case due to Hannah's vow? |
||||||
18 | Shame on Ham? | Not Specified | loavesnfish | 232241 | ||
Genesis 9:20-27 Is Ham guilty of dishonoring his father? Is that why Noah shames him by making Canaan a servant to Ham's brothers? | ||||||
19 | Salting ourselves? | Not Specified | loavesnfish | 232373 | ||
Colossians 4:6 says that our speech should be seasoned with salt and Mark 9:50 commands the hearers to have salt in themselves. 1. Does this come from the idea of salting the sacrifices (Lev. 2:13) and our bodies being living sacrifices (Rom. 12:1)? |
||||||
20 | Did it start as a legal brief? | Not Specified | loavesnfish | 232398 | ||
Both Luke's gospel and Acts begin with him addressing a "most excellent Theophilus." Did Luke's writing begin as some sort of legal brief or presentation of a defense for a judge? | ||||||
