Greetings, Welcome to the forum, first of all. I was merely curious because I had similar questions on an exam I had for one of my New Testament courses in college. If you need help with understanding things in your classes, please feel free to ask. I am sure that others here will agree that we don't want to do your class work for you, but at the same time, we also want you to understand God's word better. You are always welcome to ask questions you have about the God's word. Please continue to ask. Quvmoh |

27 | What is significant about the Word? | John 1:1 | quvmoh | 203481 | ||
The greek word for "Word" is logos. It basically means not just a word, but an intelligently thought out word. Greek has 2 different terms that mean "word". "Lalia" means "utterance". Basically, noise .. babble .. even a foreign language all fall under the category of "lalia". While it might be a thought out word, to the hearer, it is little more than non-sense. John uses "logos". We get out term "logic" from it. By using this term to describe Jesus, john is essentially saying that behind the spoken words, before pen was put to paper, even before the spoken words of creation, that Jesus was the thought behind them all. Before God said "Let there be light", He was thinking about Jesus coming into the world. Quvmoh |

29 | Does God make Himself known to all men | Rom 1:19 | quvmoh | 203232 | ||
Greetings, Bradk is correct. Paul clearly tells us in the first chapter of Romans that God is clearly seen to every person. The difference is the perception of the person. There are those who perceive and follow the will of God. There are those who refuse to perceive and as such, become subject to God's wrath. Romans 1:18-32 is all about those who refuse to perceive God's power and authority. As their refusal continues, God begins to punish them. Over time, these punishments grow more and more severe until finally, the only option is death. Paul makes his argument very clear. It's never been about whether or not God shows himself to us. It's all about whether or not we want to pay attention. Quvmoh |

31 | "sons of God saw daughters of men?" | Genesis | quvmoh | 203164 | ||
Genesis 6:1-6, unlike many far fetched theorists claim, doesn't refer to angels marrying humans in some kind of Dungeon and Dragons RPG knockoff. It's referring to the lineage of Seth and the Lineage of Cain intermarrying. One line, the line of Seth, apparently remained true to God's will. The line of Cain didn't. The Giants in the land reference is a time reference. As if I were to tell you something and say "The Rams football team was still in California ... ". By that, you would understand I was referring to a time prior to their move to St. Louis, MO. The same is true here. Moses is establishing a time reference that the readers of his day and culture would understand, but has now lost it's meaning. With that said, God was sorry that he remade man because they had grown wicked. The two separate lines had mingled and as such both were even more sinful than before. What the details are, we don't know, but it was significant enough for God to try and wash man away and start from scratch. The Sons of God reference universally identifies human believers, especially so in the New Testament. Those who were obeying God's desire. Something that is referred to as being "by man" or "of man" is often identifying something contrary to God's will. In the context of the first 6 chapters of Genesis, these would easily define Seth and Cain's family respectively. Quvmoh |

32 | who was Ezra | Ezra | quvmoh | 203049 | ||
Ezra was one of the three people important in rebuilding Jerusalem after the Period of Exile ended with King Xerxes of Persia allowing the Jews to return to Israel. Zerubabbel rebuilt the temple, Nehemiah rebuilt the city walls, and Ezra rebuilt the religion. In fact, the Old testament canon we have today is largely in thanks to Ezra. He started the process by collecting the manuscripts that taught the law. By the time that the Greek Septuagint came out, the Old Testament Canon was largely established. Ezra also helped establish and reaffirm the close adherence of the Mosaic Law that would later become the Sanhedren spoken of in the New Testament. Quvmoh |

33 | Does Paul contradict Jesus? | NT general | quvmoh | 203046 | ||
Paul sums salvation up perfectly when he wrote that "By grace are you saved, through faith. Not of works, lest any man should boast." Basically meaning, that there is no act under heaven that you did to achieve salvation. It is purely based upon the Grace of God through the channel of your faith in his power and his son Jesus Christ. You, as a saved person, have no bragging rights over another. Now .. where do works come in? Works are the outward expression of your inner faith and belief. The saying "if it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it must be a duck .." holds true here. A true Christian will gladly and freely perform acts of generosity and love. Not because he is trying to get into heaven, but because he wants others to know who he serves. Paul reflects this time and time again when he addresses himself as "a slave of Christ" in the introductions of his epistles. Now, if you came across a person claiming to be a Christian, but was rude, violent, obscene, and simply un-caring, then there would be severe doubt as to whether or not that person was truly saved. As Jesus describes in many of his parables, when a seed is planted and there is growth, there should also be fruit. Works support and show others that we are bearing fruit. Works doesn't save you. You don't work your way into heaven. You prove to others that you are on your way to heaven by doing what a Christian would naturally want to do. Quvmoh |

34 | When/ why did Israel separate into 2 | 1 Kings | quvmoh | 202960 | ||
Israel split because of Solomon's son Raheboam. I think it's in 1 kings. Basically, he didn't listen to his elder and wiser advisors and made the wrong people made. Israel split because of it and formed two nations. Israel with 10 of the tribes, and Judah with two .. the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. quvmoh |
