181 | did noah have other children? | Gen 5:32 | BradK | 225758 | ||
Hello ukepaul, The only children Noah fathered are those mentioned in Gen. 5:32, "Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth." (NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |

182 | SHOULD I TAKE THE LORDS SUPPER WITH UNCO | John 4:24 | BradK | 225754 | ||
Hello jje, Our Lord said in , John 4:23-24, "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." (NASB) Practically, I'd offer Rom. 12:1-2 "Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect." (NASB) I hope that this will be of value to you:-) BradK |

183 | Why do I feel like God is teasing me? | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 225737 | ||
Dear Luna, Our prayers go out for you! Unfortunately as mentioned, this Forum just isn't the right venue nor is it equipped to provide you the help you need:-) Please seek guideance from your Pastor,or another mature Christian you have respect for! The Lord understands completely. Psalm 147:5 says, "Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite." May 1 Pet. 5:7 bring some comfort, "casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you." Seek Him. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

184 | were cain and abel twins | Gen 4:1 | BradK | 225634 | ||
Hello diva, Cain and Abel were brothers- by the same father- as indicated from scripture. Gen 4:1 "Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, "I have gotten a manchild with the help of the LORD." Gen 4:2 "Again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a tiller of the ground." It's pretty clear from the text that there were no other people in existence at that time but Adam and Eve! BradK |

185 | spirits | John 14:6 | BradK | 225606 | ||
Hello legs, I can understand that what your friend says might "make sense". However, making sense is not necessarily Biblical truth! While we are all created by God, we are certainly not all children of God nor brothers or sisters of Jesus in a relational sense! Not at all. This may be Mormon theology but it's not Biblical theology! Christianity is a relationship with the living God as revealed through scripture (the Bible) and the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ! Consider these points: 1. Only those who know Christ are truly His children! John 1:12 tells us, "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name," (NASB) 2. Those who do not know Christ are not His and are condemned. John 3:18 clearly states, "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." 3. Salvation is found nowhere else but in the person and work of Jesus Christ. As Goldsworthy notes, "If the biblical story is true, Christ is the only savior for humankind and there is room for no other way to God!" John 14:6 tells us "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

186 | 12 tribes | John 14:6 | BradK | 225596 | ||
Hello legs, Christianity does not have "12 true religeons"!? John 14:6 tells us, He is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through him! Christianity is exclusive- "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12) I'm not sure where you get the idea that "there 12 tribes that are now 12 true religeons (sic) of Christ..?" The Mormons are certainly not descendents of the 12 Tribes of Israel! They are a cult and not Christian! BradK |

187 | Who is revealing God's wrath? | Rom 1:18 | BradK | 225569 | ||
Hello wick08, It is the wrath of- or belonging to- God. Youngs Literal Translation reads, "for revealed is the wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down the truth in unrighteousness." The Amplified reads, "For God's [holy] wrath and indignation are revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who in their wickedness repress and hinder the truth and make it inoperative" As Robertson notes, "There is a parallel and antecedent revelation (see verse 17 ) of God's wrath corresponding to the revelation of God's righteousness, this an unwritten revelation, but plainly made known. Orge is from orgaw, to teem, to swell. It is the temper of God towards sin, not rage, but the wrath of reason and law (Shedd). The revelation of God's righteousness in the gospel was necessary because of the failure of men to attain it without it, for God's wrath justly rested upon all both Gentiles ( Romans 1:18-32 ) and Jews ( Romans 2:1-3:20 ). I hope this helps, BradK |

188 | Does God know where all people end up? | Ps 139:6 | BradK | 225547 | ||
Hello irina, Welcome to the Forum. Yes, God knows everything- He is omniscient! Ps 139:1, "O LORD, You have searched me and known me. Ps 139:2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar. Ps 139:3 You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways. Ps 139:4 Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O LORD, You know it all." Dan 2:22 says, "It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, And the light dwells with Him." Nothing escapes His notice, nothing can be hidden from him, nothing is forgotten by Him. Ps 139:6 tells us, "Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot attain to it." I hope this helps, BradK |

189 | Noah entered the ark--exactly when? | Gen 7:1 | BradK | 225507 | ||
Hello rghollenbeck, Welcome to the Forum. Allow me to comment on one aspect of your post:-) You said, "I think it has theological significance **if the ark is a type of the rapture.**" I'd have to agree with brother EdB as this being "iffy"- at best. I've never heard the association being made to the rapture. I don't think the genre of Genesis- as a historical narrative lends itself to such prophetic linkage and we should be careful about doing so. More than anything, the ark typifies Christ as, "... the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me" (John 14:6) The ark was the only way to be saved from the flood and it had only one entrance!

192 | Why do Christians choose Jesus? | John 15:16 | BradK | 225472 | ||
Hello tvg, There are a host of scriptures to support and answer the "why". John 1:1-4 would provide the foundation: John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:2 He was in the beginning with God. John 1:3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. John 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. Christ is, "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" ! In short, John 3:16 would provide an answer: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." (NASB) There is no redemption through or by any other means! John 14:6 explicitly states, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

193 | God responsible of earthquue´s deaths | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 225468 | ||
Hello Pilar, It sounds like you're making more of a statement than posing a question! Do you have a specific question? God is Sovereign: "But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases." (Ps. 115:3) Rom 9:14 What shall we say then? There is no injustice with God, is there? May it never be! Rom 9:15 For He says to Moses, "I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION." Rom 9:16 So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy. Rom 9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH." Rom 9:18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. Rom 9:19 You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?" Rom 9:20 On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, "Why did you make me like this," will it? Rom 9:21 Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use? Rom 9:22 What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? (NASB) BradK |

194 | Joel 1:4 time? | Prov 3:5 | BradK | 225458 | ||
Hello fellowlaborer, I'm not sure how this is Joel 1:4 time, nor how these recent new events are of any (direct)significant for the church? Further my friend, what is there to "freak you out"? Granted these are strange- if not mysterious occurences. However, God is sovereign and our focus and faith is to be in Him, not current events! How should the Church respond? Prov 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. Prov 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.

195 | Isaiah at his death | 2 Chr 32:23 | BradK | 225447 | ||
Hello Grace, According to Easton's Bible Dictionary, "The remaining years of Hezekiah’s reign were peaceful (2 Chr. 32:23, 27–29). Isaiah probably lived to its close, and possibly into the reign of Manasseh, but the time and manner of his death are unknown. There is a tradition that he suffered martyrdom in the heathen reaction in the time of Manasseh (q.v.)." Commenting in reference to Heb. 11:37, "...they were sawn in two,...", John Gill notes, "to which there seems to be an allusion in ( Matthew 24:51 ) . There is no instance of any good men being so used in Scripture: perhaps reference is had to some that suffered thus in the time of Antiochus. The Jews have a tradition, that the Prophet Isaiah was sawn asunder in the times of Manasseh, and by his order; which some think the apostle refers unto; though it seems to be all fictitious, and ill put together." [John Gill's Exposition of the Bible] I hope this helps, BradK |

197 | Where was Abraham? | Luke 16:22 | BradK | 225353 | ||
Hello 00123, In answer to your questions: 1. Verse 23 would give us a direct textual answer, "In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and *saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom." On this Robertson notes, "Into Abraham’s bosom [eis ton holpon Abraam]. To be in Abraham’s bosom is to the Jew to be in Paradise. In John 1:18 the Logos is in the bosom of the Father. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are in heaven and welcome those who come (Matt. 8:11; IV Macc. 14:17)." [Robertson, A. (1997). Word Pictures in the New Testament]; 2. ABRAHAM’S BOSOM — (Luke 16:22,23) refers to the custom of reclining on couches at table, which was prevalent among the Jews, an arrangement which brought the head of one person almost into the bosom of the one who sat or reclined above him. To “be in Abraham’s bosom” thus meant to enjoy happiness and rest (Matt. 8:11; Luke 16:23) at the banquet in Paradise. [Easton, M. (1996). Easton's Bible Dictionary] I hope this helps, BradK |

198 | Moses appeared from where? | Matt 17:3 | BradK | 225344 | ||
Hello 00123, The NASB reads, "Matt 17:3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him." As to where they came from- Elijah or Moses- we could only speculate as scripture is silent! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

199 | what did jesus look like | John 6:15 | BradK | 225307 | ||
Greetings Usher, We have no reliable sources from which to provide an answer. Obviously, there are no photos or sketches of Jesus, nor does scripture give us any description of His features. 2 Cor. 4:6 tells us, "For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ." (NASB) BradK |

200 | what did God create on the first day | Gen 1:3 | BradK | 225305 | ||
Hello Dianne64, Your answer can be found in Gen. 1:3-5 Gen 1:3 Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. Gen 1:4 God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. Gen 1:5 God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. (NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |
