21 | Did Adam die from eating forbidden fruit | Bible general Archive 1 | There | 18140 | ||
Adam's soul no longer "reflected" the image of God, and was therefore "dead" toward God. God could not have simply meant physical death, because in Gen. 3:17-19 God was not cursing Adam to phsyical death. God was saying that you will now have to work to survive UNTIL you die. The "curse" was that Adam would now have to work to survive. Gen. 1:17-19 "... Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life. Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, and you shall eat the herb of the field. In sweat of your face you shall eat bread TILL YOU RETURN TO THE GROUND, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, and to dust you shall return." Along with the verses that speak of "renewing the soul" to the knowledge of God, there are other passages that mention the opposite, a soul not alive toward God. Eph. 2:1 "And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins..." Col. 2:13 "And you, being dead in your trespasses... He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses..." Eph. 4:18 "... having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart..." The word dead in those verses (3498) means "dead". Unlike the word "dead" when used in "dead (599) to sin" which actually means the "process of dying". |

22 | Are new worship songs scripturally OK? | Bible general Archive 1 | There | 22102 | ||
Many of the contemporary Christian songs use phrases or whole verses from the Bible. I'm not sure I recognize the three you've mentioned though. Does the "Dance with me Jesus" have any reference to "dancing before the Lord" as David did?? And depending on the words to the song about letting your "fire fall"... it could be speaking of the power of the Holy Spirit coming to believers. I don't know. And the "river flowing", from what Paul says we can "grieve" the Holy Spirit. And if we're doing things our own way, then possibly our "river of love or life" is not flowing very well. I guess it depends on what the actual words are to the songs you mentioned. Below are some contemporary praise and worship songs and their Bible references. Perhaps it will help you to understand the lyrics if you realize where they are coming from?? [This is the Day -Ps.118:24; The Horse and the Rider -Ex.15:1; In Him We Live and Move -Acts17:28; We are a Chosen Generation -1Pet.2:9; I will Enter His Gates -Ps.100:4; It Is A Good Thing To Give Thanks Unto The Lord -Ps.92:1; Thy Word -Ps.119;105; King of Kings -Rev.19:16; Fear Not For I Am With You -Is.41:10; Great Is The Lord -Ps.48:1; Lift Jesus Higher -John12:32; Beauty For Ashes -Isa.61:3; Put on the Garment of Praise -Isa.61:3; We Bring the Sacrifice of Praise -Heb.13:15; Rejoice In the Lord Always -Phil.4:4; Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord -Ps.66:1;98:4;100:1; I Will Never Forget You My People -Is.49:15-16; Love, Love -Matt.22:37-39; Know Ye Not 1Cor.3:16; It's Done -John19:30] and many more. |

23 | Where's the StudyBibleForum? | Bible general Archive 1 | There | 24672 | ||
Is this suppose to infer that the StudyBibleForum is a place that only the Bible subjects that everyone can agree on should be discussed? Let's hope a Muslim doesn't get on here then... we'd either have to agree or ignore him/her. :):) | ||||||
24 | About the Forum | Bible general Archive 1 | There | 24705 | ||
I find at least one those statements very confusing. Such as "it isn't a discussion group". Then what exactly has been going on in this group if it isn't discussion? I understand your interpretation though, and I must have missed the posts where those "rules" were being broken. I really am sorry Steve, but this has hit me as amusing... but of course I probably shouldn't be saying this because it's not pertinent to the group. I'll have to watch my P's and Q's I guess. :) |

25 | On what day was Jesus crucified? | Bible general Archive 1 | There | 29469 | ||
Hi John, I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but just as the Feast Days of the Lord are a shadow of Jesus death, 3days/nights in the tomb, and resurrection... the Feast of Passover, Unleavened Bread and Firstfruits are also "remembrances" of the Exodus, when the first passover lamb was killed, that first week that the Israelites ate unleavened bread after leaving Egypt, and the Red Sea Crossing... when the Lord saved (delivered) the firstfruits of Israel from death? (Ex. 14:30, 15:2). Below is what I've found. The children of Israel remained in Egypt the (1st) evening/night time after the Passover lamb was killed, and they left Egypt the following day-time. Ex. 12:27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. Ex. 12:31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said. Ex. 12:41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. They then traveled from Rameses to Succoth where they baked unleavened cakes (because they were driven out of Egypt so quickly). Succoth is where the Feast of Unleavened Bread was first 'instituted' (13:3-10). It doesn't say they "encamped" there, but in verse 20, it says they left Succoth and encamped in Etham on the following (2nd) night. Ex. 12:37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children. Ex. 13:20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness. Then the Lord told them to encamp beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon on the following (3rd) night. And this is where the Egyptians overtook them. Ex. 14:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea. Ex. 14:9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon. The Lord kept the children of Israel all that (3rd) night, and told them to cross the Red Sea in the early morning... and the Lord saved (delivered) the firstfruits of Israel. 14:20 And it (pillar) came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night. 14:21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. So the time between the death of the first passover lamb(s) (starting from the evening immediately after the slaughter of the lamb(s)), and the salvation of the firstfruits of Israel was 3 nights and 3 days if you count the "day" that God saved the firstfruits of Israel. And since it seems that Jesus fulfilled the Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, and Feast of Weeks to the letter, He probably did this one too. (So I believe He literally fulfilled the sign of Jonah.) Overview: Nisan 14, lamb killed late afternoon (equivalent to Thursday Passover - Christ's death in late afternoon). Nisan 15, night in Egypt, left Egypt in "day time". (Feast of Unleavened Bread instituted during the "day time".) [1st night, 1st day] (equivalent to Friday in tomb). Nisan 16, night in Etham, traveled by "day time". [2nd night, 2nd day] (equivalent to Saturday in tomb). Nisan 17, night beside Pihahiroth, began crossing the Red Sea early "day time". [3rd night, 3rd day] (equivalent to Sunday night in tomb, and early morning resurrection " before sunrise"). Hope this helps. God bless. |

26 | the goat a sign for satan? | OT general | There | 15702 | ||
In occult circles, Lucifer is depicted as a man with the head of a goat, with a 5-pointed star between his horns. This symbol is also called the "Light Bearer" which is an obvious perversion of the "Light of the World". It has been around since at least 200 A.D. and probably a lot longer. This is also probably where the "guy in the red garb with horns", depicting Satan comes from too. It would seem possible that it was Satan's spin-off of the sacrificial goat and the scapegoat, both of which were literally fulfilled by the true Messiah, Jesus Christ. The 5-pointed star between the horns of the goat head is also an occultic symbol of pagan gods (Amos 5:26; Acts 7:43), which was later modified to a 6-pointed star and became known as the Star of David, even though biblically and historically, David never used such a symbol. |

27 | indwelling holy spirit | OT general | There | 15711 | ||
The previous answers are very good, but I want to add that one can "believe" and not be filled with the Holy Spirit. An example is Acts 8:25. Verse 12 states "they" believed and were baptized, but in verse 14 it says the apostles heard that "they" received the word of God, but had as yet not received the Holy Spirit (v.16). And in verse 17, the apostles, with prayer, laid hands on "them" and then "they" received the Holy Spirit. And again in Acts 19:2 Paul "said to them, 'Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?' And they said to him 'We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit'". And verse 6 states "And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophecied". So everyone who believes is not always filled with the Holy Spirit. But a BORN-AGAIN believer is one who is born-again of the Spirit. So they have received the Holy Spirit. |

28 | Clones | Genesis | There | 12811 | ||
I believe they are human. And they are made very much like we each were made. From human cells containing DNA. If someone takes an egg and sperm, places them together outside the womb, what is produced is human, and will be born with a soul --- whether it is "born" from a womb or test tube. I don't think it matters HOW the embryro came into being in the first place. Do I think it is the way God intended for human reproduction? No. |

29 | Authority of a narative? How to? | Genesis | There | 12812 | ||
I agree with JVH0212, it is the foundation that our faith is built upon. If one believes that God created, then it is easy to understand why God has the right to set rules and regulations for His creation. And also why God has the right to reward and punish those whom He has created. If we had only come from slime, then who is God to tell us anything. That is what I have heard most often from those who believe in evolution. Have you ever watched the videos "Understanding Genesis" by Ken Ham (and Gary Parker)? They are excellent. The tape series contains information about faith, history, archeology, and biology -- all in the context that "God created". Even your teens would enjoy these tapes I think. |

30 | who did cain marry | Genesis | There | 12832 | ||
His sister. Generally daughters are not mentioned in the generations. Only sons. Which is why I think daughters were probably born to Adam and Eve AFTER Cain and Abel were born, but BEFORE Seth was born. The genealogy of Genesis begins with Adam to Seth and continues from there. And the biblical genealogies seems to only follow a certain "line", from Adam to Noah, then to Abraham, then to David, then to Christ. Every "son's" line is not listed in Genesis or after. Only those that were applicable to the birth of the Messiah. And one thing that I overlooked when first reading Genesis 4:16,17 is that it doesn't state that Cain MET his wife while wandering east of Eden (which I used to think). Simply that he went wandering, and then "knew" her and she conceived. Cain quite probably was married before he killed Abel and was driven away by the Lord. |

31 | What was the total number of animals, | Genesis | There | 12833 | ||

32 | Where there trees just after the deluge | Genesis | There | 12886 | ||
I've heard this explained in a variety of ways, but I am going to tell you what I understand about the account of Noah in Genesis. The flood waters began during Noah's 600th year, 2nd month, on the 17th day. It rained for 40 days and nights. God then stopped the water and for the next 150 days (5 months) the waters were in the process of receding because of a strong wind that God sent to pass over the earth. [approximately 6.5 months covered here] In the 7th month of Noah's 600th year (during that 150 days), on the 17th day, the ark rested on the mountains of Ararat. The ark was about 45 feet high, but only a portion of that would have been underwater. So in the seventh month of Noah's 600th year, the water was shallow enough that the ark found a resting place somewhere in the mountains of Ararat. On the 1st day of the tenth month of Noah's 600th year, the tops of the mountains were visible (to Noah apparently). [7.5 months from day Flood started to here] The conditions after the Flood were more than likely quite different than they are today. The earth would have been very fertile after all that "stirring up by the waters", and the climate was much better than today. (All recognizable by the long life-spans for several hundred years after the Flood.) 40 days after the mountain tops were visible, Noah sent out a raven and a dove. The dove returned, finding no rest ("manowach" meaning a quiet, settled spot or 'home'). (This would have been in the middle of the 11th month of Noah's 600th year) 7days later, Noah sent out another dove which returned with an olive leaf. So if a seed germinated at the very end of the 9th month of Noah's 600th year (1st day of 10th month when Noah saw the mountain tops [dirt]), it would be very possible that in the 11.5 month of Noah's 600th year (1 and 1/2 months later) a "plant" would have grown from that seed, and had leaves on it's stalk, just as it would even today in that time-span. So could an olive tree grow and produced at least one leaf in a month and a half? Yes. I would think even a shorter time than that. |

33 | Was there any other human being in Node | Genesis | There | 12887 | ||

34 | WAS THE ANGEL JESUS | Genesis | There | 12891 | ||
The "Angel" of the Lord in the OT comes from the word malak, meaning to dispatch as a deputy, a messenger; specifically of God, i.e. angel. So it would not necessarily mean that each reference to the "angel of the Lord" is Jesus in Spirit-form. |

35 | Please tell me about the goddess Diana | Gen 1:1 | There | 23741 | ||
I only have a little to add to what's already been said about Diana. She was also known as the "queen archer", "moon goddess", "protector of the young", "goddess of the hunt", "goddess of chastity", "virgin goddess". She considered animals to be sacred, and she could punish and kill in agreement with her father's will. |

36 | Will we know our loved ones in heaven? | 2 Sam 12:23 | There | 26183 | ||
One group of verses that I think says something like that is Matthew 22:23-32. Jesus was asked by the Sadducees about marriage in heaven. Jesus response was that there would be no marriage in heaven, but that man would become like the angels. I guess in this case I read what wasn't said in a way. :) Jesus didn't say that the husbands and wife (wives) wouldn't know one another in heaven, but simply that there would be no marriage in heaven. And another small reference is 1Thess. 4:13-15, 18 when Paul was asked by the church at Thessalonia about their loved ones who had died. Paul comforted them by saying "But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep (died), lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep (dead). For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words." It seems to me that Paul was reassuring them that they would be reunited with their loved ones again at the resurrection. Which to me says that we will recognize one another or we wouldn't know the difference whether they were there or not. And another thought that some may disagree with is that our new spiritual bodies will probably look very similar to our physical bodies... for two reasons. If they wouldn't, then there would be no point in my opinion to "raise" up a new spiritual body from our old physical bodies. And my second reason is that Jesus' resurrected body looked like his physical body. God bless. |

Nolan gave a good site for this information. But possibly: Job 40:15-24 "behemoth" Job 41:1-34 "leviathan" Job 41:12-22 spec. "fire breathing leviathan" Psalms 68:30 "beast of the reeds" Psalms 74:13 "sea serpent" Psalms 74:14 "leviathan" Psalms 104:26 "leviathan" Isaiah 27:1 "leviathan" Isaiah 30:6 "fiery flying serpent" Lam. 4:3 "sea monster" (tanniyn) Some meanings as pertains to "dinosaurs": Dinoaur (Websters Dictionary) from the Greek meaning "terrible lizard". Any of a large group of extinct 4 limbed retiles of the Mesozoic Era, including some almost 100' long. [This is a fairly NEW word.] Behemoth, water ox or hippopotamus. Leviathan "levyathan", a wreathed animal, i.e. a serpent (especially the crocodile or some other large sea monster). Dragon "tanniyn" means a marine or land monster, i.e. sea serpent or hideous land animal; dragon, sea montster etc. [used in 21 OT verses, sometimes figuratively) |

39 | God shaved with a borrowed razor? | Is 7:20 | There | 15681 | ||
God did that several times in the OT. The hired razor represents the nations that the Lord used to come against disobedient Israel/Judah. Shave in that context means to strip away, uncover, or make waste of. I better look it up in the concordance. :) SHAVE - "galach" a prim. root; prop. to be bald, i.e. (caus) to shave; fig. to lay waste: -- poll, shave (off). RAZOR/RASOR - "taar" from 6168; a knife or razor (as making bare); also a scabbard (as being bare, i.e. empty):-- [pen] knife, rasor, scabbard, shave, sheath. 6168 "arah, a prim. root; to be (caus. make) bare; hence to empty, pour out, demolish: leave destitute, discover, empty, make naked, pour (out), rase, spread self, uncover. Isaiah 7:20 In that day the Lord will shave with a razor, hired from regions beyond the Euphrates (that is, with the king of Assyria), the head and the hair of the legs; and it will also remove the beard. I believe that verse is saying that "in that day" (when the Lord will bring the king of Assyria upon the people of Judah) God will use the Assyrians (hired razor) as the means to 'uncover their sins and lay waste' (shave) the house of Judah. A reference to what God means by "hired" is in Isaiah 10:5-15 where the Lord makes it clear that He will use Assryia as the "rod of His anger" against "the people of My wrath" (Jerusalem and her idols, v. 11). |
