21 | ADULTRY VS BIGAMY #3 | Ex 21:10 | sonofmom | 221931 | ||
In marrying more than one woman, Solomon was going against God’s revealed will regarding monogamy From the very beginning God created one woman for one man (see Genesis 1:27; 2:21-25). Deuteronomy 17:17 explicitly instructed the king not to “multiply wives.” |

The major reason why people doubt that the days of creation are 24-hour literal days usually has nothing to do with what the Bible says, but comes from outside influences. For example, many believe that since scientists have convinced everyone that the earth is countless years old, then the days of creation cannot be ordinary days. Then they attempt to use Scripture to try to justify that the days of creation are long periods of time and quote passages such as 2 Peter 3:8, '... 'one day is with the Lord as a thousand years' However, if you look at the rest of the verse, it says, '... and a thousand years as one day'. which makes theirs a moot point. They are further proven wrong in their assumptions by looking into the complexities of the Hebrew landuage: The Hebrew word for day in Genesis chapter 1 is the word 'yom'. It is important to understand that almost any word can have two or more meanings, depending on context. And, respected Hebrew dictionaries give a number of meanings for the word 'yom' depending upon context. One of the passages they give for the meaning of 'yom' as an ordinary day is Genesis chapter 1. And the reason becomes quite obvious. Every time the word 'yom' is used with a number, or with the phrase 'evening and morning', anywhere in the Old Testament, it always means an ordinary day. In Genesis chapter 1, for each of the six days of creation, the Hebrew word 'yom' is used with a number and with the phrase, 'evening and morning'. There is no doubt that the Hebrew author (as being led by the Spirit) is placing an emphasis on saying that these are ordinary days. |

24 | Lucifer's fall from grace | Bible general Archive 4 | sonofmom | 221900 | ||
Hi colton, please allow me to apologize for your difficulty in getting your question answered. It is my belief that your question has its own trouble built into it, for the darkness comprehendeth not the light. (Jn 1:5) I think these verses may help you in your growing relationship with the Lord, by understanding who the enemy is, and that there is warfare out there. Read Isaiah 14:12, and then in context of 14:3 thru 14:22 Then read Ezekiel 28, and notice how the chapter changes its mood abruptly at verse 12, since it stops speaking to the Prince of Tyre and turns its attention to the King of Tyre thru verse 19. This king is widely considered to be none other than satan himself. Being full of wisdom and perfect in beauty... perfect in thy ways until iniquity was found in thee... And the chapter wraps up in vss. 25 and 26 when the Lord shall execute His judgement and bring His people into safety and security in their own land. keliy |

25 | God is one plesse explain Mark 16:19 | Bible general Archive 4 | sonofmom | 221895 | ||
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. (Mk 16:19) He sat at the right hand. To say He sat means that He was at rest, that His work was completed. This was a posture of authority, as He was sitting down when He began to speak at the sermon on the mount. To sit on the 'right hand' explains soveriegn rule, -it does not mean that God has a right hand. -does the Bible ever mention the left hand of God? Going by that logic, the Bible must mean that God is monodextrous. But it never says that God created the heavens and the earth 'single-handedly' ((o: son |

26 | soul in Heaven or Hell? | Judges | sonofmom | 221858 | ||
Hi Shellpie, As a Baptist, I would guess that you have heard the three parables in the 25th chapter of Matthew. Jesus is teaching His disciples in this 'farewell trilogy' that the date and time of His return is not the issue. What IS important is how we will conduct ourselves up until that time. (One good pastime would be to read and study His Word) So we can look to the 20th chapter of Revelation for God's disclosure on whether everyone will be gone at the rapture. Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time. (Rev 20:1-3) So This is by all accounts, after the rapture. And, it says that the devil must be released for a short time, when the thousand years are over and verse 8 tells us the reason: he is to go out and deceive the nations. My understanding is that there are believers in the world after the rapture, and the devil must be turned loose in order to try to deceive them. son |

27 | Is the Bible the word of man or God? | Bible general Archive 4 | sonofmom | 221854 | ||
Hi jgingrich, Your short and long versions of your question could be two different questions. I will start out by trying to answer the short one. There are many proofs at many different levels that lead us to understand (believe) that the Bible was written by the inspiration of God. These proofs are both internal and external. The first internal proof is, is the Bible tells us so. And God cannot tell a lie. But more important are the facts: The Bible is approx 1/3 made up of prophecies, and approx 80 percent of those prophesies have come true, to the letter. That means 100 percent accuracy to date, since other remaining prophecies are still to be fulfilled. The Bible contains 66 Books, written by 40 or more authors from various walks of life, many who never even heard of each other, and also was written over a span of some 1600 years or more. -And all this without a SINGLE CONTRADICTION. (if you think there may be contradictions, it is most likely due to misunderstanding. Bring the verses to this forum and someone will be able to help you correct the problem.) Now, do you think that we could find any two authors to write, even a lengthy newspaper article in seperate rooms, about any subject, without any contradictions? How you answer this question will say much about how you make decisions in life and will also have an eternal impact. For if anyone decides to dismiss the Bible as the Word of God, then they may as well dismiss God. Because of its claim to be the very Word of God, the Bible has suffered countless attacks and attempts to destroy it than any other book in history. -From early Roman Emperors through communist dictators and on to modern-day atheists, the Bible has withstood the test of time while outlasting all of its attackers and is still today the most widely published book in the world. So, as you probably know, God is an eternal being. This means he is not confined within the constraints of time, as we are. Just ask yourself, if there was a supreme being, that created a world filled with creatures, and wanted to let these creature know how much He loves them, and give them proof of all of this, and do it across the barrier of time, then how could this be accomplished? I would say that prophecy is a pretty strong bet, wouldn't you? One example of this is when God gave the prophecy of the 70 weeks to Daniel, He gave it through an angel. This has proven to be so accurate that some have accused it of being written at a later date and then disguised as an older manuscript. But the truth is, that this prophecy was translated into Greek about 200 years prior to its fulfillment, proving that it was not written after the fact. Take Jesus' empty tomb for instance. Some have said that this was all an elaborate hoax by His disciples, who stole His body from the tomb while the guards were asleep. But do you think it is feasible that someone would actually give their life in a painful death to protect the hoax's discovery? This is what happened to all the Apostles, all except John, who died a natural death. |

30 | Why Jesus crucified ouside city gates? | Num 19:11 | sonofmom | 221796 | ||
Hello sallyeo This perhaps could be because of the strictness of Jewish laws regarding the proximity of dead bodies to the living. Coming into contact with a dead body meant a period of ritual cleansing for uncleanness (Numbers 19:11-22). Happy Resurrection Day! |
