21 | Is to bill or murder the same | Ex 20:13 | John Ryals | 228427 | ||
If I may, Exodus 20:13 in the NASB and AMPLIFIED Bible translations states, "You Shall not Murder, if this is correct because looking in the KJV it says, "You shall not kill." Whichever; means the same. Should have been translated, "thou shalt do no muder"; God, in His Holy Word, commands magistrates to put evil men to death [Rom. 13:4]; that is not murder; to "kill" and to "commit murder" are two different verbs in the Hebrew Text. May the Lord be with you, John Ryals |

22 | Are tatoos allowed? | Lev 19:28 | John Ryals | 228255 | ||
If I may, Pagans were accustomed to making small incisions in their physical bodies, or putting marks upon their flesh as a sign of mourning for their loved ones who had recently died. But the Lord forbade anything of the nature among His people. The incision represented a separation and, in fact, an eternal seperation, in the minds of the pagans. In essence, by the Lord commanding His people to not engage in such activities, He, in effect, was telling them that death, that is if they would faithfully serve Him, did not end it all. In other words, if their loved ones had been in the Covenant, and had Faith in the Covenant, and the ones living continued to have Faith in the Covenant, they would see each other again. To each his own of course, but I prefer not to choose the ways of the Pagans. May God Bless You, John |

23 | why are nazarites forbidden from grape | Num 6:3 | John Ryals | 230499 | ||
Would not the fermentation of the grape have somthing to do with these vows. Grapes produce juice, and until fermentation it's just grape juice, Correct? Have a Blessed Day! John Ryals |

25 | 2 sam 13:1 | 2 Sam 13:1 | John Ryals | 228395 | ||
Tamar was the half-sister of Amnon. She was he daughter of Maach, a princess of Geshur, one of David's wives. Amnon was David's first-born, the son of Ahinoam of Jezereel. Absalom was also the son of Maacah. At this time, Amnon was about 22 years old; Absalom, 20; Tamar, 15; and Solomon, 2. David was 53 years old. The Chapter begins with "Absalom," as if the Holy Spirit is warning us that the coming rebellion led by Absalom begins here, which is another subject dealt with later on, in this Book of Samuel. I can't say their were any who desired this type of 'wanting,' because Amnon used a plan of deception to create this opportunity, and on top of that he took her against her will. I will say there were some in the Old Testament who were married to their Half- Sisters. The Levitical Laws in that time were held with the utmost, and if you read in the great Book of Leviticus in the 20th Chapter, this should help with your curiosity. May the Lord be with you.

26 | how many horses did Solomon have?? | 1 Kings | John Ryals | 228000 | ||
I'm not sure exactly how many horses he had, but you can check out [I Kings, Chapter 10, starting in about the tenth verse and so on, and this may give you an idea of his wealth. | ||||||

28 | How will God judge on judgement day? | Psalm | John Ryals | 227920 | ||
Psalms 103:12 states,"As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us," This is equivalent to "blotting out our sins" Acts 3:19; Isa. 43:25; 44:22. It is impossible to bring the east and the west together; so it is impossible to bring the forgiven sinner and his forgiven sins together. This Divine fact gives to those who believe it, a peace which nothing can destroy. | ||||||
29 | What does Prov. 5:15 mean | Prov 5:15 | John Ryals | 230712 | ||
Check the relation of Jeremiah 2:13, with this Proverb. | ||||||
30 | What does Prov. 5:16 and 17 mean? | Prov 5:16 | John Ryals | 230713 | ||
"Let your fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. (17) Let them be only your own and not strangers' with you." It is insensible for man to turn from Wisdom to folly; from the Word of God to man-made religions. The "stangers" once again refers to false doctrine, false apostles, and idol worship. All of Chapter 5 in PROVERBS, I believe concerns warnings against the providers of false doctrine. |

32 | Jeremiah 10:3-5 what does this mean to y | Jer 10:3 | John Ryals | 230479 | ||
The word "customs" refers to the "images of wood," i.e., "idols." The word "people" refers to heathen nations. Thwe "vanity" addressed here, concerning the "cutting of the tree out of the forest," is meant by the Holy Spirit to portray the absurdity of thinkinking that something fashioned by the hands of man could be greater than the hands which fashioned it. This making of an idol is the same as described in Isa. 41:7 and 44:13-17, which could very well have been read by Jeremiah, with the Holy Spirit impressing him strongly to emphasize this great sin once more. Such does not show a weakness in the Text, but rather an emphasis placed by the Holy Spirit on that which He considers it to be very important, by all means,we should, as well! These passages are sometimes taken to mean the modern Christmas tree, but actually the tree referred to had no branches left on it at all. This refers to a tree trunk being made into an idol, not the Christmas tree These absurd man-made idols, which "speak not" and which have to be carried about because of having no mobility of their own, are not som ething to be "afraid of." They don't have the power to do "evil" or "good." Have a very Merry Christmas! John Ryals |

33 | Cremation after death? Go to heaven? | Ezek 37:4 | John Ryals | 228397 | ||
Genises 2:7; "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." I,m not as formal or educated as most, but if God did this, I beleive He can do all! We can use all of the Philosophical wisdom we want too, but the truth of the matter, God Created!

35 | Apostles - Non-Jewish | Matthew | John Ryals | 228224 | ||
The term. 'Jew' or 'Jewish', was tagged to those that were from the tribe of Judah, Correct? I only find the term "Jewish found once in the Bible; (Titus 1:14). Were the Galileans, from the Tribe of Judah? Just a curious question. The term 'Jew' was applied to a member of the kingdom of Judah after the separation of the ten tribes, Is this correct? John |

37 | Is eating pork allowed for Christians? | Matt 15:17 | John Ryals | 228109 | ||
These two scriptures, [Matt. 15:17-18] should shed light on your question. To give the 'entire reference' which deals with 'the things that defile' look at Matthew 15:10-20. Based on these two scriptures I support my answer with, I would have to say, "Yes," it is allowed. Now, dealing with our health issue, my answer would have to be, to be mindful of portion sizes. On a personal note, I don't feel the eating of food has anything to do with the spiritual side of man. God Bless, John Ryals |

38 | What do Matthew 20:1-16 mean? | Matt 20:16 | John Ryals | 228163 | ||
Hello Dr. Hawk, The Lord is teaching Grace here, which means that we do not obtain Salvation from Him by merit, but as well, it speaks of Israel and the Church; the Church although last, will receive just as much as Israel, who was first. No man has the right to make a claim on God because of merit. It must all be by Faith in Christ and the Cross, [Rom. 3:20-31]. The Church was chosen last, but will be first, because Israel which was chosen first, rejected the Lord. May God Bless You, John Ryals |

39 | Matthew 28:18-19 | Matt 28:18 | John Ryals | 228060 | ||
Hello Begbie, This is my explanation,and I would advise you to search for others, and be open to others, with the Holy Spirit guiding you: When Jesus spoke unto them saying, "All power is given unto Me in Heaven and in Earth," this is not given to Him as Son of God; for, as God nothing can be added to Him or taken from Him; it is rather a power, which He has merited by His Incarnation and His death at Calvary on the Cross [Phil. 2:8-10]; this authority extends not only over men, so that He governs and protects the Church, disposes human events, controls hearts and opinions; but the forces of Heaven also are at His Command; the Holy Spirit is bestowed by Him, and the Angels are in His employ as ministering to the members of His Body. When He said, "all power," He meant, "all power!" In verse 19 when He says,"Go ye therefore," this applies to any and all who follow Christ, and in all ages. Go and preach to all nations proclaiming the truth. We should go forth and give instruction of the whole Gospel for the whole man; Not as a suggestion but to do so because He said in verse 20,"I have commanded you.' In verse 20 also He said, "I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen," hence, forever present among us and with us as Companion, Friend, Guide, Saviour, and God; until the end of age because it is the guarantee of His Promise. Amen. I pray this makes sense and it increases the vision of your heart. May God Bless You! John Ryals |

40 | Allowing demons to speak? | Mark | John Ryals | 228035 | ||
If you are referring to Verse 25 when Jesus rebuked the lead demon by saying, "Hold your Peace, and come out of him," In effect, Jesus said, "shut up, and come out of him". In verse 27, they were speechless, In effect, "Who is this Man," referring to the possibilty, and their thinking, that He might be the Messiah. I pray this explanation is helpful, May God Bless You! | ||||||
