21 | Joshua 5:10, what date is that? | Josh 5:10 | benjamite | 35909 | ||
I'm not an expert in dating, as far as exact date. The Passover is in the spring (right around Easter - March or April). I usually date these events from the time of the Exodus (c. 1446 BC). 1446 BC - 40 years in the wilderness (BC counts backwards) so that would put us right around 1400BC. This is the third recorded Passover (cf. Exodus 12 and Numbers 9). Is that what you were looking for, or were you wanting something more specific? In Him, Benjamite |

22 | My question is did Solomon die in or out | 1 Kings | benjamite | 33430 | ||
We must add another verse to "muddy the water" a little. Nehemiah 13:26 says, "Did not Solomon king of Israel sin regarding these things? Yet among the many nations there was no king like him, and he was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel; nevertheless the foreign women caused even him to sin." God loved Solomon, despite what all Solomon did. I guess this speaks more of God's specific relationship with Solomon (instead of the other way around), but I thought it deserved mentioning.

23 | Only satan has evil/deceptive spirits | Job 1:6 | benjamite | 48270 | ||
Even Satan, himself, cannot act apart from the permission of God. Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-6. | ||||||
24 | Is sarcasm sinful? | Job 38:1 | benjamite | 63404 | ||
Is God being sarcastic in Job 38? It seems like it to me. Again in Amos 4:4-5, God is telling the people to "Come and sin". Is that really what He wants? No, but he knows that's what they will do. How about 2 Cor. 11:19? To paraphrase, Paul says, "You're so wise, but your friends are fools." Sarcasm is not sinful. Truth is more than just the words we say, it is how we say it. |

25 | I smell fire | Job 41:19 | benjamite | 56808 | ||
Perhaps, at one time, dragons really did exist. Maybe it was a type of dinosaur (if you'll allow for the possibility that the scientists are wrong and that dinosaurs and man actually co-existed). Now the question is, were all the stories of knights going off to fight dragons true? At this point in time, it seems to me that it is anybody's guess as to what these beasts really were - but no, they don't seem like gators to me, either. I, personally, don't have a problem believing that dragons did exist or that man and dinosaurs co-existed. Ben |

26 | READ ALL THAT YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON! | Ps 18:1 | benjamite | 48281 | ||
I like the imagery used here. One of God's own is distressed. When God's own person calls to Him, God acts mightily. God is permitted to be angry, is He not? Romans 1:18-32. He most certainly is. Knowledge is great. It must be accompanied by the fear of the Lord and love. Proverbs 2:5-6; 1 Corinthians 13:1-2. Without these, "Knowledge makes arrogant." 1 Corinthians 8:1 |

27 | "to spare the rod is to spoil the child" | Prov 13:24 | benjamite | 36482 | ||
I'm afraid that Proverbs 13:24 is about as close as I can get. I had to look this one up too. Apparently the familiar quote came from some other source. Perhaps Ben Franklin. :-) In Him, Benjamite |

28 | Does this talk about enslavement? | Is 60:12 | benjamite | 46210 | ||
Let's take this verse in context: v. 1, "The glory of the LORD has risen upon you." v. 2, "The LORD will rise upon you, and His glory will appear upon you" v. 9, "Surely the coastlands will wait for Me; And the ships of Tarshish will come first, to bring your sons from afar...for the name of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel because He has glorified you." This isn't slavery, at least in the sense of the early American atrocities. Granted it might be "paying tribute". This was (and is still) common. (I don't know where you hail from, in the U.S., April 15 was Tax Day.) Let's look at it from another way. Is there anything in this passage which suggests that this finds its fulfillment at any other time than during the future reign of Christ on earth (the millennium)? I don't think so. I see this as being fulfilled when the Almighty God, in the person of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, is here on earth as King. Now the question is, if you're not serving God, what are you doing? Who are you serving? |

29 | IT'S NOT GOD SPEAKING, IT'S THE DECEIVER | Jer 19:5 | benjamite | 48268 | ||
There is a difference between a carnivore and a scavenger. In this passage, eating the flesh of their sons and daughters is never called a good thing. Remember from verse 5 of that chapter, the rebellious people are already sacrificing their children to idols. God NEVER commanded them to do this. Trust the Bible, question all else. However, since you would question the Bible, how do you know that God is "wonderful, giving, and caring"? Are you using your own definitions of these words or God's definitions? |

30 | SATAN HAS THE MASSES FOOLED, WAKEUP! | Ezek 14:9 | benjamite | 48274 | ||
Righteous prophets would not be "deceived" in such a manner. The people were told to repent and get rid of their idols. The people knew this. The prophets knew this. The Lord says that those who do not, and who still try to come to Him, will be punished. | ||||||
31 | What was Meshach's name? | Dan 1:7 | benjamite | 62035 | ||
Meshach's Hebrew name was Mishael. | ||||||
32 | Who was Darius the Mede? | Dan 6:28 | benjamite | 57141 | ||
It seems like the experts are undecided. I looked up a couple different sources, and they only give options. Let me give you another option. Might "Darius the Mede" be another name for "Cyrus the Persian"? (Which, I guess, would mean that "he co-ruled in equal power with Cyrus the Persian".) Benjamite |
||||||
33 | Where are the people of Dan 11:32 in NT? | Dan 11:32 | benjamite | 35126 | ||
According to two distinct commentaries, Daniel 11:21-35 refer to the time of Antiochus IV Epiphanes - during the time of the Apocryphal Writings - I believe in the Maccabees (c. 175-150 BC). 11:36 then begins the description of the Antichrist's career. In Him, Benjamite |

34 | Why is Me capitalized? | Zech 2:9 | benjamite | 35640 | ||
"From verse 8, we see that the text reads, "For thus says the LORD of hosts..." In my Bible, the quote continues through verse 9 into 10, then picks up again with verses 11-13. It does not refer to Zechariah, but to God. It is interesting to note however that the Lord of hosts (from verse 8) is sent by the Lord of Hosts in verse 9. Do you think that this could possibly be an Old Testament revelation of the Trinity? In Him, Benjamite |

35 | Struggling with divorce question | Matt 19:9 | benjamite | 32973 | ||
Realizing that divorce is always a sensitive issue. 1. I'd like to revisit 1 Cor. 7:11, if I may. It indicates that the one who leaves should remain unmarried. It does not apply to you. 1 Cor 7:15, you are not under bondage. 2. We must look at divorce in the light of Malachi 2:16. Divorce is wrong, as believers or not. However, in one sense, what we did as unbelievers doesn't matter. Unbelievers sin, by their very nature. 3. If you don't mind my saying so, you don't sound "convinced". If God meant for you and your current husband to be together, now, after your first marriages, neither of you would be guilty. Questions to think about, (I do not expect a response on these, nor do I ask for one.) 1. Why are you worried about it now? (after the fact) 2. Does your husband share your worries? 3. Have you prayed about it with your husband? I hope you find the answers you are looking for. May God bless, Benjamite |

36 | Who do you believe about Jesus? | Matt 22:42 | benjamite | 57573 | ||
I'm not exactly sure how to answer your question. On the one hand, you have Moses (by some accounts c. 1500-1400 B.C.). What the Lord prophesied about the Christ, through Moses and the other prophets, is true. (Luke 24:27, et. al.). As an aside, since I quoted from Luke, I would also mention that he was not an eyewitness, Luke 1:1-4. This is not meant to discredit Luke, by any means - simply an observation. "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;" (2 Tim 3:16) We also have the testimony of those who beheld Christ's glory (John 1:14). If your question looks at what modern people think, I would see if their modern thoughts align with what the Bible says. |

37 | Was JESUS a king? | Matt 27:11 | benjamite | 49392 | ||
Yes, while Jesus was on the earth, he was a King. He still is King. (see also Mark 15:2, Luke 23:3; John 18:33-40) Note also that the Romans convicted Him of being a king. Note the inscription on the cross. (Matthew 27:37, et. al.) |
||||||
38 | Mark 5:30 | Mark 5:30 | benjamite | 38401 | ||
To answer your question, the Bible speaks of Peter's shadow as healing people - Acts 5:15-16. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "involuntary" however. Remember, Jesus said that He did not come to do His Own will but the will of the One who sent Him - namely, God the Father (see John 4:34; 5:30; 6:38-39). If God the Father or the Son was not willing, the woman would not have been healed. |

39 | What is the lesson from Lk 18:9-14 | Luke | benjamite | 35637 | ||
What is the lesson? It isn't the tithes and offerings that matter the most. It is the condition of the heart. "To obey is better than sacrifice" 1 Sam. 15:22 (The Pharisee thought he was righteous, but the Bible says that there is no one righteous Ps. 14:1-3; 53:1-3; and Romans 3:10ff.) "God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble" (James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5) "It is not those who are healthy that need a physician, but those who are sick" (Matt 9:12) "But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness" (Rom 4:5) That seems to be the lesson I get from these verses. What kind of audience will you have? (Perhaps that will help with the illustrations.) In Him, Benjamite |

40 | explain the first four verses of luke 4 | Luke | benjamite | 35642 | ||
Which question do you want to ask? The first four verses of Luke 4 - To show that He was God, Jesus needed to be tempted and be proven sinless. If He sinned, His ministry would be null and void. The first four verses of Luke - The first four verses of Luke indicate that this gospel was a letter written to Theophilus. Although Luke was not an eyewitness of Christ, verse 2 says that his information was given to him by eyewitnesses. Luke, however didn't just take for granted what was given to him by the eyewitnesses of Christ's life, but researched it (v. 3) and wrote it down from start (the birth of John the Baptist in Luke 1) to finish (the ascension in Luke 24). The first four chapters of Luke - Could you be more specific on the chapters? What needs to be explained? In Him, Benjamite |
