1321 | flaming sword | Gen 3:24 | BradK | 156359 | ||
Hi jason, Here's the verse: "So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life." Though scripture doesn't explicitly say, here are a couple of views that may shed some light. "24. placed … cherbim—The passage should be rendered thus: “And he dwelt between the cherubim at the East of the Garden of Eden and a fierce fire, or Shekinah, unfolding itself to preserve the way of the tree of life.†This was the mode of worship now established to show God’s anger at sin and teach the mediation of a promised Saviour as the way of life, as well as of access to God. They were the same figures as were afterwards in the tabernacle and temple; and now, as then, God said, “I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims†(Ex 25:22). [A commentary, critical and explanatory, on the Old and New Testaments.] Warren Wiersbe offers this in his Expository outlines of the Old Testament: "Verses 22–24 show a strange action of the grace of God: He drove the man and woman out of the garden! They had forfeited their right to the tree of life by disobeying God. If they had eaten of that tree, they would have lived forever in their sinful state. This would mean that the Savior, the Second Adam, could not come to die to deliver humans from sin. Thus, in driving Adam and Eve out of paradise, God was showing His grace and mercy to the whole human race. The sword that God placed at the garden barred the way. It is possible to translate this “a swordlike flameâ€â€”the fire of God that speaks of His holiness (Heb. 12:29)." I hope this helps, BradK |

Faith 21, I'd heed brother Hanks' recommendation and wise counsel! I don't necessarily think you're crazy, but if your life has indeed been touched by Jesus Christ, you have no need for such silliness. You can speculate on the digits 7734 and conclude their significance too:-) Consider 1 Cor 2:2-5: "For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. 1 Cor 2:3 I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, 1 Cor 2:4 and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 1 Cor 2:5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. " Faith, the power of God will not be found in phone numbers or any digits on a phone for that matter. Colossian 3:1-4 says much: "Col 3:1 Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Col 3:2 Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. Col 3:3 For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Col 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory." May you indeed keep seeking the truth as in John 14:6. Seek Him and Him alone!

1323 | new testament version of Is 53:8 | Acts 8:32 | BradK | 156195 | ||
Hi ckasab, I believe the reference you're looking for is Acts 8:32-33: "Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this: "HE WAS LED AS A SHEEP TO SLAUGHTER; AND AS A LAMB BEFORE ITS SHEARER IS SILENT, SO HE DOES NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH. "IN HUMILIATION HIS JUDGMENT WAS TAKEN AWAY; WHO WILL RELATE HIS GENERATION? FOR HIS LIFE IS REMOVED FROM THE EARTH." I hope this helps, BradK |

1324 | Bible story on not accepting negativity? | 1 Cor 8:1 | BradK | 156123 | ||
Hi Alyssa and Jordans' Mom, You might try a word study on edification as one possibility. Here are a few references: EDIFICATION 1. neighbor for his good, to his edification. (Ro 15:2) 2. speaks to men for edification and exhortation (1Co 14:3) 3. to abound for the edification of the church. (1Co 14:12) 4. Let all things be done for edification. (1Co 14:26) 5. but only such a word as is good for edification (Eph 4:29) I hope this helps, BradK |

1325 | Who build the mosque Kabah? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 156113 | ||
Cleanelements, "Who build (sic) the mosque Kabah" is not a biblical question. That is, it's answer cannot be found in the pages of the Bible. As this is a Study Bible Forum, it's proper to ask questions that relate directly to the Bible. I hope this helps, BradK |

1326 | SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH | 2 Tim 2:25 | BradK | 155936 | ||
Hi Robert, I'm assuming your serious in your question? If you're referring to the nonsensical and unbiblical "slain-in-the-spirit" phenomenom, does it matter? Benny Hinn may have employment opportunities in his ministry for so-called "catchers". He may also have a training program and manual for such as well. May I inquire what the question has to do with bible study? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1327 | will,anti christ will b homosex | Dan 11:37 | BradK | 155658 | ||
Hi L Covey, We don't know the sexual orientation of the anti-christ because scripture doesn't say. It would only be speculation at this point. It would be a stretch to conclude from the passage in Dan. 11 what you ask. Keep in mind the last half of the book of Daniel is prophetic. In short,the context of chap. 11 is basically speaking of the kings of the south and north. It is an enlargement of chapter 8. The ESV reads this way: "He shall pay no attention to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women. He shall not pay attention to any other god, for he shall magnify himself above all." The Bible Knowledge Commentary offers this: "The fact that he has no regard for the one desired by women suggests he repudiates the messianic hope of Israel. Perhaps many an Israelite woman had longingly wondered if she would become the mother of the coming Messiah, the nation’s Savior and King." I hope this helps, BradK |

1328 | Paid ministry | Rom 10:9 | BradK | 155545 | ||
Obi, Unless you substantiate your remarks with scripture, all you're doing is speculating! What do you say of 1 Tim. 5:17-18?: "The elders who rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching. For the Scripture says, "YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE HE IS THRESHING," and "The laborer is worthy of his wages." In the OT, giving to the priests and the care of the tabernacle and temple was done by tithing. (Num. 18:7, Neh. 10:38-39) In the NT, does not Paul detail the principles of giving in 2 Cor. 8:1 - 9:15? Particularly note 9:6-14 as to full time laborers in ministry.

1329 | RECALLING | 1 John 5:13 | BradK | 155461 | ||
Hi Lutheran, I can't specifically answer that one for you, but I'm assuming you've trusted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.There should be a point in time that you can recall your acceptance of Christ- unless you were too young. Look at 1 John 5:10-13: " John 5:10 The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. 1 John 5:11 And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 1 John 5:12 He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. 1 John 5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

1330 | Who is giving the tenth? | Gen 14:20 | BradK | 154929 | ||
Hi mommapbs, It can be a little confusing:-) I believe the text is referring to Abram. The New Bible Commentary offers this: "Melchizedek, the priest-king of Salem (probably Jerusalem), on the other hand, received Abram royally and laid on a banquet for him. Melchizedek then blessed Abram in the name of God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. Responding to this kindly reception, Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of all the booty he had taken (20)."

1331 | bruising of Jesus pleasurable? | Is 53:10 | BradK | 154881 | ||
Hi Samantha, The reference your looking for is found in Isaiah 53:10: "But the LORD was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand." As to its' meaning, the Commentary Critical says, " Vs.10. Transition from His humiliation to His exaltation. Pleased the Lord—the secret of His sufferings. They were voluntarily borne by Messiah, in order that thereby He might “do Jehovah’s will” (Jn 6:38; Heb 10:7, 9), as to man’s redemption; so at the end of the verse, “the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.”" I hope this helps, BradK |

1332 | WHAT WAS AND IS OUR ROLE THEN@NOW | Gen 1:1 | BradK | 154879 | ||
Hi fun, Maybe you could expand upon your question since it's very broad? I will offer a broad answer. In " A Puritan Catechism", C.H. Spurgeon offers this: "Q. What is the chief end of man? A. Man’s chief end is to glorify God, 1 Corinthians 10:31) and to enjoy him for ever. (Psalm 73:25, 26)" I hope this helps, BradK |

1333 | "slain in the Spirit" Bible support? | 1 Thess 5:21 | BradK | 154837 | ||
Hi cariad, No, there is absolutely no Biblical basis for being "slain in the Spirit"! This is a false doctrine on men, particularly the WOF movement. I hope this helps, BradK |

1334 | How many people rose from the dead | Acts 9:40 | BradK | 154829 | ||
Hi Charleszim, My count is eight in all of scripture. Wilmingtons' Book of Bible Lists gives the references: l. Widow of Zarephath’s son, raised by Elijah 1 King 17:22 2. Shunammite woman’s son, raised by Elisha 2 Kings 4:34–35 3. Man raised when he came into contact with the bones of Elisha 2 Kings 13:20–21 4. Jairus’s daughter, raised by Jesus Luke 8:52–56 5. Widow of Nain’s son, raised by Jesus Luke 7:14–15 6. Lazarus of Bethany, brother of Mary and Martha, raised by Jesus John 11 7. Dorcas, raised by Peter Acts 9:40 8. Eutychus, raised by Paul Acts 20:9–12 As food for thought this should tend to bring question to those (ministries)who give "spurious" claims of raising the dead! It is an infrequesnt occurence in the pages of scripture itself! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1335 | Do all believers get the H Spirit? When? | 1 Cor 12:13 | BradK | 154826 | ||
Hi katlr, Though this is a much debated topic, I believe 1 Cor. 12:13 is very clear: "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. " I hope this helps, BradK |

1336 | why did God put the devil on earth ? | Eph 1:11 | BradK | 154454 | ||
Hi Buckman, While scripture does not explicitly tell us "why" God allows satan, we can surmise that it is His will. Consider Eph. 1:11: "also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will" In Gods' permissive will He allows satan to exist. Much could be said, and possibly others may decide to comment. We can certainly consider Job. In Job 1:6-12, God allows satan to have his way with him. We can see the outcome in 2:3, that ultimately, God is glorified in all this. I hope this helps, BradK |

1337 | did God divorce Israel | Rom 11:1 | BradK | 154411 | ||
Hi billwalk, No, God did not divorce His people, Israel. There is nothing in scripture to say He did. Consider Romans 11:1-2: " I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?" Israel is Gods' chosen people according to Deut. 7:6-9. I hope this helps, BradK |

1338 | Niphilim, Clean and Unclean Animal | Gen 6:4 | BradK | 154351 | ||
Hi Danesh, Hard Sayings of the Bible makes this comment as an intro (in Part): "Few texts in the history of interpretation have aroused more curiosity and divergence of opinion than Genesis 6:1–4. It is at once tantalizing and deeply puzzling. What is most difficult is the identification of the main participants in this short narrative—the “sons of God,” the “daughters of men” and the “Nephilim” (or “giants”). An impressive array of scholars has lined up for each of the three major positions taken on the identification of these three groups of participants. The three positions may be labeled “the cosmologically mixed races view” (angels and humans), “the religiously mixed races view” (godly Sethites and worldly Cainites) and “the sociologically mixed races view” (despotic male aristocrats and beautiful female commoners)." Harpers' Bible Dictionary says this: "Nephilim:, people of the pre-Flood generation, the offspring of daughters of men and divine beings (Gen. 6:1-4). Their generation and their conduct seem to have provoked the Flood as punishment (Gen. 6:5-8:22). In Num. 13:33 the Israelite spies describe the inhabitants of Hebron as Nephilim, so large and powerful that ‘we seemed like grasshoppers.’ The name could mean ‘fallen ones’ and allude to stories in related cultures of rebellious giants defeated by the gods in olden times (cf. Isa. 14:12)." Eastons Bible Dictionary says: "Nephilim — (Gen. 6:4; Num. 13:33, R.V.), giants, the Hebrew word left untranslated by the Revisers, the name of one of the Canaanitish tribes. The Revisers have, however, translated the Hebrew gibborim, in Gen. 6:4, “mighty men.”" I hope this helps, BradK |

1339 | Deciples when Jesus told Judas | John 13:27 | BradK | 154137 | ||
Hi poverton, I believe you're referring to John 13:27. Verses 28 and 29 tell us what the disciples thought: "Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him. For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we have need of for the feast”; or else, that he should give something to the poor." I hope this helps, BradK |
