1221 | who is the king of tyre? | Ezekiel | jlpangilinan | 20271 | ||
HIRAM 2Sa 5:11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house. 1Ki 5:1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David. TYRE: a rock, now es-Sur; an ancient Phoenician city, about 23 miles, in a direct line, north of Acre, and 20 south of Sidon. Sidon was the oldest Phoenician city, but Tyre had a longer and more illustrious history. The commerce of the whole world was gathered into the warehouses of Tyre. "Tyrian merchants were the first who ventured to navigate the Mediterranean waters; and they founded their colonies on the coasts and neighbouring islands of the AEgean Sea, in Greece, on the northern coast of Africa, at Carthage and other places, in Sicily and Corsica, in Spain at Tartessus, and even beyond the pillars of Hercules at Gadeira (Cadiz)" (Driver's Isaiah). In the time of David a friendly alliance was entered into between the Hebrews and the Tyrians, who were long ruled over by their native kings Johnny |

1222 | A Wonderful Plan? How do you know? | Rom 1:18 | jlpangilinan | 20270 | ||
Lionstrong, We know that God's love every human being, and God has plan for every creature. Your question is if God has plan who can change it? you, you can even change the plan for God for you because of your free will. Do you think the plan of God for Adam and Eve is to eat that forbidden fruit? Ge 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. but it was happend? Do you think part of plan of God that Lucufer become his opposer? but its happened. Do you think it is part of the plan of God that Judas will betray Him, if you said yes, and your God is not fair. So i think if God has plan for you dont accept his plan you can change it. For example God has a plan that you leave long here in this world but if you are going to jump from 100 floor of any building God will not stop you. Johnny |

1223 | What does the Bible say about hell? | Job 11:8 | jlpangilinan | 20265 | ||
Hell derived from the Saxon helan, to cover; hence the covered or the invisible place. In Scripture there are three words so rendered: (1.) Sheol, occurring in the Old Testament sixty-five times. This word sheol is derived from a root-word meaning "to ask," "demand;" hence insatiableness (Pr 30:15-16). It is rendered "grave" thirty-one times (Ge 37:35; 42:38; 44:29,31; 1Sa 2:6, etc.). The Revisers have retained this rendering in the historical books with the original word in the margin, while in the poetical books they have reversed this rule. In thirty-one cases in the Authorized Version this word is rendered "hell," the place of disembodied spirits. The inhabitants of sheol are "the congregation of the dead" (Pr 21:16). It is (a) the abode of the wicked (Nu 16:33; Job 24:19; Ps 9:17; 31:17, etc.); (b) of the good (Ps 16:10; 30:3; 49:15; 86:13, etc.). Sheol is described as deep (Job 11:8), dark (Job 10:21-22), with bars (Job 17:16). The dead "go down" to it (Nu 16:30,33; Eze 31:15-16,17). (2.) The Greek word hades of the New Testament has the same scope of signification as sheol of the Old Testament. It is a prison (1Pe 3:19), with gates and bars and locks (Mt 16:18; Re 1:18), and it is downward (Mt 11:23; Lu 10:15). The righteous and the wicked are separated. The blessed dead are in that part of hades called paradise (Lu 23:43). They are also said to be in Abraham's bosom (Lu 16:22). (3.) Gehenna, in most of its occurrences in the Greek New Testament, designates the place of the lost (Mt 23:33). The fearful nature of their condition there is described in various figurative expressions (Mt 8:12; 13:42; 22:13; 25:30; Lu 16:24, etc Hell is the ultimate separation of our soul from God.

1224 | why are sins equal but people are not | Matt 6:9 | jlpangilinan | 20179 | ||
When bad stuff happens to people it is not "God's Will" but God sometimes allows evil. So I think it is wrong that if there is something bad happened to people we said "God's will". For example: when Adam and Eve fall to temptation it is not God's will but God's allows it because person has free will to do what he want to do. Also when Lucifer become "Opposer" or Satan do you think it is God's will I think it is not God's will otherwise it is the God himself created the Devil. The will of of God is always good, that Jesus Christ taught us to pray. Our father, which include "Your kingdom come Your will be done in earth as it was in Heaven. Mt 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Mt 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Mt 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread. Mt 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Mt 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. If the will of God is not always good Jesus Christ would never taught us to pray our father. Now if there is something bad to people, it because of Devil who want people to become like him. If we remember this devil who try to put Jesus into temptation offered the Kingdoms of this world. Do you think satan can offer this world to Jesus if he (satan) is not the king of this world. Because as of now the kingdom of the father is still not come yet, that why we keep praying thy Kingdom come thy will be done in earth as it was in Heaven. Johnny |

1225 | Are we told to pray for leaders | James 5:16 | jlpangilinan | 18774 | ||
Yes we told told to pray one for another: Jas 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Not just for our leaders but also for our enemies: Mt 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Thanks, Johnny |

1226 | Eternal fire | Deut 32:22 | jlpangilinan | 18771 | ||
Thanks You mentioned that it is not prominent (meaning it is not important) in the Old testament why? do you think it is not unjust to them that they are not educated about this (Hell or Heaven) and now in our time received promises that we can go to heaven if we observe the teaching of Jesus Christ, and or if we committed sins (mortal sins) our souls will be tormented in hell day and night. In the book genesis what God said to adam, Ge 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. We granted for a while, that adam will go to hell, do you think in is unjust to him that God will brought him to the kind of punishment. Adam has no idea about hell or heaven. If God will bring those people to the punishment that they don’t know or He did not gave warning about this punishment I think it will be unjust. You also mentioned the eternal punishment. In the book of Jude Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. I would like to focus to the word "eternal" that particular verse that I quoted it mentioned the "eternal" fire of sodom. I know that you would agree that the fire of sodom are not that there anymore. But the bible says "Eternal Fire of Sodom". I hope you would explain my points. Johnny |

1227 | Eternal Fire | Deut 32:22 | jlpangilinan | 18761 | ||
Tim: Thanks for the answer, But what I need to know if there any prophet, in the old testament that taught and gave promises that if their people disobey the law their soul will be tormented in hell day in night. Or if their people will observe the law of God, the reward is eternal life, which is in heaven. For example Moses, as a representative of law (Joh 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.)I think should know that there is heaven and hell, and if Moses knowledgeable about Heaven and Hell but he did not taught this to the people of Israel what kind of a leader he is. If Moses doesn't know about it what kind of prophet he is. I would like to put here an example of what happen to Adam. Ge 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Do you think God himself when he told this to Adam include Heaven or Hell? is there any Heaven or Hell mentioned to him in the rest of his life?. You did mention, everlasting burning from one of you quoted verses. I think everlasting burning was the same equivalent of eternal fire. I will put here a passages that mentioned the same thing. Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. This particular passage mentioned the "Eternal Fire" of sodom. Do you think the fire of Sodom is still there at that place at our present time. We all knew that it is not there anymore. But the bible says eternal fire. I need you thoughts about this. Johnny |

I dont think you really understand what I really mean. Correct me If i am wrong. I hope you read my first post about hell before answering the second post. What I really want is show me any teaching of Moses verse by verse that he taught to the people of Israel that if they will observe the law they will go to heaven, or if they will disobey the law thier soul will buried in hell forever and ever. Can you show me that? What I really want is the teaching in the old testament about hell and heaven, can you show me verse in the old testament that will indicate that Moses or any prophet in the old testament that taught or give promises that if the people of Israel (old testament time) if they will observe the law of God the reward is eternal life. What did you gave is the passage from the new testament. You also mentioned that nowhere in the bible that you can live in sin and go to heaven. of course not I do not mentioned any of that. What i want really is show me the verse in the old testament that will show that they warn thier people that if they disobey the law of God thier soul will be tormented day and night in the burning hell. I hope i am clear. I dont ask any verses in new testament. The promises that I know for them is the promise land (canaan) and not eternal life. Johnny |

1230 | Teaching about hell in the Old testament | Deut 32:22 | jlpangilinan | 18188 | ||
You right, But what I really mean is do we have in the old testament a teaching that really will make people belong to that time will knowledgeable enough about hell or heaven. Do we have in the Old testament or any teaching of Moses that will include promises that the souls of thoses people will someday go to heaven, do moises taught his people that if they committed sin they will be punish in the eternal fire. I know that in old testament to many passages mentioned hell, like for instance from the book job or even David mentioned those also. If in the Old Testament wwe have no teaching regarding this, I think it is unjust for them. (im not questioning the God here)If im not mistaken the promises given to the people of Israel was the promise land. I hope somebody can answer this. Johnny |

1233 | New Testament/ Old Testament | Matthew | jlpangilinan | 18018 | ||
First I will try to explain to you the OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT: The Old Testament is divided into three parts:, 1. The Law (Torah), consisting of the Pentateuch, or five books of Moses. 2. The Prophets, consisting of (1) the former, namely, Joshua, Judges, the Books of Samuel, and the Books of Kings; (2) the latter, namely, the greater prophets, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, and the twelve minor prophets. 3. The Hagiographa, or holy writings, including the rest of the books. These were ranked in three divisions:, (1) The Psalms, Proverbs, and Job, distinguished by the Hebrew name, a word formed of the initial letters of these books, emeth, meaning truth. (2) Canticles, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, and Esther, called the five rolls, as being written for the synagogue use on five separate rolls. (3) Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, and 1 and 2 Chronicles. Between the Old and the New Testament no addition was made to the revelation God had already given. The period of New Testament revelation, extending over a century, began with the appearance of John the Baptist. The New Testament consists of (1) the historical books, viz., the Gospels, and the Acts of the Apostles; (2) the Epistles; and (3) the book of prophecy, the Revelation. The division of the Bible into chapters and verses is altogether of human invention, designed to facilitate reference to it. The ancient Jews divided the Old Testament into certain sections for use in the synagogue service, and then at a later period, in the ninth century A.D., into verses. Our modern system of chapters for all the books of the Bible was introduced by Cardinal Hugo about the middle of the thirteenth century (he died 1263). The system of verses for the New Testament was introduced by Stephens in 1551, and generally adopted, although neither Tyndale's nor Coverdale's English translation of the Bible has verses. The division is not always wisely made, yet it is very useful. jOHNNY |

Hi everybody! This question was came from the doctrine of Jehovas Withnessess. I got some friend that belongs to this Religion. The Question are: Is Hell literal? it is really the place for everlasting damnation. If is literal why there are no clear teaching about this in Old Testament? If you read the teaching of Moses I dont think he mentioned to the Isralites that if they committed sin there soul will punish in the burning hell? Do you think its fair that people belong to the time of Old Testament doesnt know about this, and now We, at the time of Jesus Christ received teaching about this.

Steve, I think there are three: 1. Noah's Ark 2. The ark of bulrushes (Moses) 3. The sacred ark of Covenant Johnny Ark Noah's ark, a building of gopher-wood, and covered with pitch, 300 cubits long, 50 cubits broad, and 30 cubits high (Ge 6:14-16); an oblong floating house of three stories, with a door in the side and a window in the roof. It was 100 years in building (Ge 5:32; 7:6). It was intended to preserve certain persons and animals from the deluge which God was about to bring over the earth. It contained eight persons (Ge 7:13; 2Pe 2:5), and of all "clean" animals seven pairs, and of "unclean" one pair, and of birds seven pairs of each sort (Ge 7:2-3). It was in the form of an oblong square, with flat bottom and sloping roof. Traditions of the Deluge, by which the race of man was swept from the earth, and of the ark of Noah have been found existing among all nations. The ark of bulrushes in which the infant Moses was laid (Ex 2:3) is called in the Hebrew teebah, a word derived from the Egyptian teb, meaning "a chest." It was daubed with slime and with pitch. The bulrushes of which it was made were the papyrus reed. The sacred ark is designated by a different Hebrew word, 'aron', which is the common name for a chest or coffer used for any purpose (Ge 50:26; 2Ki 12:9-10). It is distinguished from all others by such titles as the "ark of God" (1Sa 3:3), "ark of the covenant" (Jos 3:6; Heb 9:4), |

Hades that which is out of sight, a Greek word used to denote the state or place of the dead. All the dead alike go into this place. To be buried, to go down to the grave, to descend into hades, are equivalent expressions. In the LXX. this word is the usual rendering of the Hebrew sheol, the common receptacle of the departed (Ge 42:38; Ps 139:8; Ho 13:14; Isa 14:9). This term is of comparatively rare occurrence in the Greek New Testament. Our Lord speaks of Capernaum as being "brought down to hell" (hades), i.e., simply to the lowest debasement, (Mt 11:23). It is contemplated as a kind of kingdom which could never overturn the foundation of Christ's kingdom (Mt 16:18), i.e., Christ's church can never die. In Lu 16:23 it is most distinctly associated with the doom and misery of the lost. In Ac 2:27-31 Peter quotes the LXX. version of Ps 16:8-11, plainly for the purpose of proving our Lord's resurrection from the dead. David was left in the place of the dead, and his body saw corruption. Not so with Christ. According to ancient prophecy (Ps 30:3) he was recalled to life. Hell derived from the Saxon helan, to cover; hence the covered or the invisible place. In Scripture there are three words so rendered: (1.) Sheol, occurring in the Old Testament sixty-five times.

David was left in the place of the dead, and his body saw corruption. Not so with Christ. According to ancient prophecy (Ps 30:3) he was recalled to life. Hell derived from the Saxon helan, to cover; hence the covered or the invisible place. In Scripture there are three words so rendered: (1.) Sheol, occurring in the Old Testament sixty-five times. This word sheol is derived from a root-word meaning "to ask," "demand;" hence insatiableness (Pr 30:15-16). It is rendered "grave" thirty-one times (Ge 37:35; 42:38; 44:29,31; 1Sa 2:6, etc.). The Revisers have retained this rendering in the historical books with the original word in the margin, while in the poetical books they have reversed this rule. In thirty-one cases in the Authorized Version this word is rendered "hell," the place of disembodied spirits. The inhabitants of sheol are "the congregation of the dead" (Pr 21:16). It is (a) the abode of the wicked (Nu 16:33; Job 24:19; Ps 9:17; 31:17, etc.); (b) of the good (Ps 16:10; 30:3; 49:15; 86:13, etc.). Sheol is described as deep (Job 11:8), dark (Job 10:21-22), with bars (Job 17:16). The dead "go down" to it (Nu 16:30,33; Eze 31:15-16,17). (2.) The Greek word hades of the New Testament has the same scope of signification as sheol of the Old Testament. It is a prison (1Pe 3:19), with gates and bars and locks (Mt 16:18; Re 1:18), and it is downward (Mt 11:23; Lu 10:15). The righteous and the wicked are separated. The blessed dead are in that part of hades called paradise (Lu 23:43). They are also said to be in Abraham's bosom (Lu 16:22). (3.) Gehenna, in most of its occurrences in the Greek New Testament, designates the place of the lost (Mt 23:33). The fearful nature of their condition there is described in various figurative expressions (Mt 8:12; 13:42; 22:13; 25:30; Lu 16:24, etc.). (See Hinnom.) |

1240 | Multiple wives and divorce | Titus 1:6 | jlpangilinan | 17799 | ||
If you are belong to Muslims or Jewish people, having more than one wife is still being oberserved. But if are belong to the Christian it is not permitted. Tit 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. In all teaching of Jesus Christ he never mentioned that having more than one wife is ok. If you read the new testaments I think there are no desciples having more than one wife. Some of them not even have one (Paul) some of them not even c...(Tito) If you confused of divorce is practiced freely today not all nations practice the same thing. If the divorce is legal in the law of the state I dont think legal in the law of God which include thou shall not kill. Johnny |
