1241 | Author of Ruth and Time frame of writing | Ruth | prayon | 5705 | ||
According to Talmudic tradition Samuel wrote the book of Ruth but the book contains no clue as to who truly wrote it. The favored opiniion is that it was written between the tenth to the eighth century BC during the period of the Monarchy. However one source (Life Application Bible) put it between 1375-1050 BC. | ||||||

1243 | Should music be allowed in church? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 5642 | ||
I wish I knew where the father has gotten an idea like that! Biblical references to music are numerous because of the essential role it played in all aspects of the life of the people of the bible. Since he said he is a New Testament Christian I will start in the New Testament. Music was important in the worship of the early church. In the earliest Christian communities music was not set within regular and repeated patterns of worship but was allowed some spontaneity. Eph. 5:19 says that "as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs singing among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts". James 5:13 asks if any are cheerful, then they should sing songs of praise. 1Cor 14:26 says that when you come together and someone has a hymn let it be done for the building up. Col 3:16 says "let the word of Christ dwell in you richly....and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs to God. Both of these scriptures have to do with worshipping God and one of the places we are to do that is in church! Rev 4:10 talks about the 24 elders who fall on the floor and casting their crowns on the fllor before God sing! "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". Exodus 15 talks or singing to the Lord. In Psalms alone sing and singing is mentioned 70 times!! Psalm 47:6 tells us to "sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to out King, sing praises! Psalm 81:1-2 tell us to "Sing aloud to God our strength...Raise a song, sound the tamborine, the sweet lyre with the harp." There are many more scriptures too numerous to mention. If this isn't enough go to the Strongs Concordance and look under sing. prayon |

1244 | Is Beelzebul or Baalzebub Satan? | Matt 12:27 | prayon | 5616 | ||
Beelzebub was a god worshipped by the Ekronites. The original form and meaning is unclear. Originally it may of meant "lord of the lofty abode" and then because this god was considered by the Hebrews to be a unworthy rival to Yawweh, it may of been revised to "lord of the flies" (Baalzebub). Later it was altered even further to Beelzebul which means "lord of the dung". In the intertestamental period numerous names were used to designate the leaders of the forces of evil one of the names selected was Beel-zebul. In the New Testament Beelzebul is believed to be the chief of the demons (Satan). Beelzebul is also a name that the scribes derisively applied to Jesus upon His healing of a demon-possessed person. Jesus made clear that His actions were intended for the kingdom of God and were performed in opposition to the kingdom of Satan, (Matt. 12:24-27; Mark 3:22-26; Luke 11:15-19. This may be where the name Beelzebul became associated with Satan as it was never identified in the Old Testament with the devil or Satan. (Harpers Bible Dictionary and Eerdmans Bible Dictionary.) |

1245 | Please I need some ideas | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 5615 | ||
Ed, In the Everyday Bible Commentary by Charles Caldwell Ryrie it states that John saw 4 groups of saints in Revelation 20:4. First he saw those who sat on the throne and who shared in the judging, apparently the church. Then he saw a particular group of martyrs - those who were beheaded. Finally he saw a group that had refused to worship the beast and receive his mark. Those (referring to the last group) are the ones who will live and reign with Christ. In answer to your comment of the 2nd question concerning surviving without the mark, I remind you that God can do anything. In 1Kings 17:4 He provided for Elijah by sending his food to him by using ravens. I truly believe that any people who do not receive the mark will be provided for. After all Matthew 6:26 states that God provides for the birds of the air. Aren't we of more value than them? Verse 33 states that if we strive first for the kingdom of God and His righteousness all these things will be given to us. Isn't that what the saints of the tribulation will be doing, striving for God's kingdom and His righteousness? I'll bet that they will be stiving a lot harder than we do today - and He provides for us all we need to survive. prayon |

1246 | Was prophecy fulfilled at Pentecost? | Joel 2:28 | prayon | 5612 | ||
Nolan, prophecy was only fulfilled in part at Pentecost. In Acts 2:17-20 Paul tells the men of Judea and those who live in Jerusalem that these persons were not drunk but that the first part of Joel's prophecy had been fulfilled and this was that fulfillment. However, not all of Joel's prophecy was fulfilled that morning. Verse 17 starts off "In the last days", of which we are still in. He continues to pour out His spirit on those who desire it today. Verse 19 states that He will show signs on the earth below - blood, fire, and smoky mist. I believe these are still to come. He also states that the sun shall be darkened and the moon turned to blood which we are told in Revelation 6:12 will be during the tribulation. | ||||||

1250 | How do you know? | Josh 10:12 | prayon | 5449 | ||
Evolution/ This says it all! One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in the classroom. The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children. The teacher asked a little boy: Teacher: Tommy do you see the tree outside? Tommy: Yes. Teacher: Tommy, do you see the grass outside? Tommy: Yes. Teacher: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky. Tommy: OK. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky. Teacher: Did you see God? Tommy: No. Teacher: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there, he doesn't exist. A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions. Teacher agreed and she asked the boy: Little Girl: Tommy, do you see the tree outside? Tommy: Yes. Little girl: Tommy do you see the grass outside? Tommy: Yessssss (getting tired of the questions by this time) Little girl: Did you see the sky? Tommy: Yessssss Little Girl: Tommy, do you see the teacher? Tommy: Yes Little Girl: Do you see her brain? Tommy: No Little Girl: Does that mean she doesn't have one? FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT II CORINTHIANS 4:7 |

1253 | Did Jesus back up His claim in Jno 8:58? | John 8:58 | prayon | 5102 | ||
Yes, He did. He backed it up every time He proved himself to be the Son of God. What He was saying is that He existed before Abraham was born. He also applied Gods Holy name to Himself. That is why they tried to stone him. | ||||||

1255 | What's a covanant, according toSCRIPTURE | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 5064 | ||
A covenant is a formal agreement between two parties with each assuming some obligation. It can be between people, countries, or between God and His people. In biblical times two people would make a covenant by cutting an animal in half placing each half on different sides of a ditch. The two parties would then walk arm and arm through the "river of blood". Marriage is a covenant between two people signified by the vows and the ring being the symbol of that covenant. You can read about other covenants by reading about Laban and Jacob (Gen 31:44-54) or David and Jonathan (1Sam 18:3, 23:18). Covenants were given the highest respect. They were not broken. When Jesus died on the cross it was the end of the old covenant which God made with Abraham. We are now under the new covenant. It is a covenant where God has promised to take care of us and give us eternal life and in exchange we devote our lives to Him and do His work. When we are saved we automatically enter into that covenant. |

1256 | Who wrote the most Books In the Bible | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 5047 | ||
Paul wrote the most with 12 and some imput into Hebrews. Moses wrote the first 5 books of the bible and at least 1 Psalm, although 51 of the Psalms are anonymous so Moses could of written more. |

1257 | When is "Bible Graduation Day"? | Prov 9:9 | prayon | 5029 | ||
You graduate from the bible when you have taken your last breath and are on your way to heaven. Until that time there is always something to learn. As the saying goes you learn something new each and every day. I agree though that it can be daunting! So much to learn! God is a teaching God and He is constantly teaching us new things. Life continually brings trials to teach us more and make us stronger. There is always a different way of looking at the same scripture. There is always a part of the bible to minister to us every day whether you are in the mood for romance, action, adventure, or mystery. The only thing you can't find is fiction!!! I pray that my desire to learn grows stronger each day so that I never tire of learning more. | ||||||
1258 | Who are the scribes? | NT general Archive 1 | prayon | 5013 | ||
I believe that the scribes could be many different people today. One could be the judges because they interpret the law. Or it could be anyone who interprets the scriptures, pastors included. Any other ideas? | ||||||

1260 | Simon of Cyrene | Matt 27:32 | prayon | 5010 | ||
We are told that Simon of Cyrene was compelled to carry the cross for Jesus on the way to Golgatha. I believe that this must of made a strong impact on him because Romans 16:13 states that Paul mentions his sons, Rufus and Alexander, with warm affection. My question is what else do we know about him? Why was he in Jerusalem at that time? Was this his first exposure to Christ or had he heard his message before? Had he been in the crowd yelling "Crucify him"? | ||||||
