21 | answer and question | OT general | gmsmith101 | 24856 | ||
Actually, The tabernacle was probably very similar if not identical to the tabernacle that was in use since the time of Moses and the wilderness wandering. The tabernacle was constructed according to the exacting instructions provided by God in Exodus. You should be able to find a faithful representation of what the tabernacle looked like in any good study Bible, e.g. Inductive Study Bible, Reformation Study Bible, etc. Remember the tabernacle was basically a tent. | ||||||

23 | Is it breaking God's covenant? | NT general Archive 1 | gmsmith101 | 4170 | ||
I believe that under ANY circumstances, having sexual (or even non-sexual) relations with anyone outside of marriage can be considered adulterous and in direct defiance of the laws of God concerning marriage. Jesus said (quoting Genesis) in Matt 19:4-6, "...Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." No matter what the situation, whether both parties consent or not, bringing a third (or fourth, or fifth, or sixth...) party into the marriage bed DEFILES it (Heb 11:4). This is still adultery and God will judge it. |

24 | who did cain marry | Genesis | gmsmith101 | 4155 | ||
Clearly, Cain married one of his sisters. Marriage between close relations was necessary and acceptable that early on. Abraham's wife, Sarah, was his half-sister. Intermarriage between close relations was not forbidden until the time of Moses. Laws against marriage and sexual contact between relatives are spelled out in Leviticus 18, etc. | ||||||
25 | Who created all things? | Gen 1:1 | gmsmith101 | 4294 | ||
I don't understand your question. Why would Col. 1:16 and Gen. 1:1 be in contradiction to each other? If Jesus is God, and clearly He is, He was present at the creation. John 1:1-3 says Jesus WAS in the beginning and all things came into being through Him. | ||||||
26 | Holy Spirit | Gen 1:2 | gmsmith101 | 73138 | ||
I agree with jlpang. The Holy Spirit has been here since before creation, and has moved in the life of believers at many times, although He has not not INDWELT believers until after Pentacost. For example, David asked God not to take His Holy Spirit from him when he sinned (PS 51:11). How would this be possible if the Holy Spirit had not been present in David's life to begin with? Not that He indwelt David, but that David knew of the Holy Spirit's presence, if you know what I mean. This is just one example, there are others (which of course I can't think of at the moment!). He was always there, even though He did not indwell the believer. | ||||||
27 | no milk and beef in old testament | Gen 1:29 | gmsmith101 | 4154 | ||
I couldn't find a specific law about not eating milk and meat together, but Deuteronomy 14:21 forbids the boiling of a young goat in its mother's milk. | ||||||

Joe, I couldn't agree with you more :) | ||||||
29 | Need Bible passages for dying friend | Ps 23:4 | gmsmith101 | 4537 | ||
What you are doing is a ministry, my friend. God is going to bless you for comforting your dying friend. Philippians 4:8-9 is a wonderful passage to encourage your friend. God bless you. | ||||||
30 | infant death | Is 7:16 | gmsmith101 | 25420 | ||
When David's infant child died, he believed he would see him again. That's good enough for me. | ||||||
31 | significance of the number forty | Matt 4:2 | gmsmith101 | 4335 | ||
I disagree with John MacArthur on this one (doesn't happen often--I respect him very much). I believe--and you won't find this anywhere in Scripture, except maybe in principle, so don't ask for a chapter and verse--that the number forty signifies purification or cleansing. Here are some examples: 1. The Flood lasted forty days--Gen. 7:17. 2. Forty days were required to embalm Israel--Gen. 50:3. 3. Moses was on the mountain with God for forty days--Deut. 9:9. 4. Elijah fasted for forty days--1 Kings 19:1-8. 5. Ezekiel was lying on his side for the sins of his people for forty days--Ezek. 4:6. 6. And of course, Jesus walked the earth for forty days after His resurrection. There are many more examples of this principle in the Bible. I hope it helps and makes sense! |

32 | sexuality | Matt 4:7 | gmsmith101 | 151943 | ||
I agree. A good rule to live by is, if you wouldn't do it in front of Jesus (and, face it, we're doing it all in front of Him), then don't do it. (The following is not intended for the young man who specifically asked this question, this is just a general observation.) I think that a chaste kiss hello or goodbye and hand holding is fine. The big problem is that many teens, even those that aren't engaging in intercourse or other sexual practices, are "making out," and calling it kissing. And frankly, that's lustful and a lie. Jesus said that to look at a woman with lust is to commit adultery with her in your heart. (Or was that in your mind? Must go look it up.) So we're not talking about "just kissing." What we're talking about is activity that leads to lustful thoughts (or starts with lust, even), which in itself is sinful. Not only that, you're walking down a slippery slope here. The closer you get to this kind of temptation, the closer you are to falling. |

33 | where is satan? | Matt 12:45 | gmsmith101 | 4707 | ||
Satan roams the earth (Job 1:7) and must present himself before the Lord, so it is possible that he may appear in Heaven at times. Apparently, though, the permanent home of Satan is hell (2 Pet. 2:4). | ||||||
34 | Urgent and swift help needed!! | Matt 18:15 | gmsmith101 | 5935 | ||
Just a comment--I think this man's teaching is very dangerous, especially if he is indoctrinating young believers, teenagers and children. Act quickly. | ||||||
35 | So, to honor lies in married adulthood? | Matt 23:9 | gmsmith101 | 39573 | ||
I think that in this type of situation, to "honor" ones parents would mean to simply treat them with respect. I understand that the parents have acted dishonorably, but as children of God, we are to continue to treat them with honor and respect. Under the circumstances, I think what is called for is a loving confrontation. However, if they refuse to acknowledge their wrongdoing and continue with their behavior, you are required to continue treating them with respect. No retaliation, no backbiting, no namecalling, etc. You can, of course, defend yourselves. It's okay to tell people that something they have heard about you isn't true, just don't badmouth the parents in return. You certainly aren't required to visit them every Sunday and take them to the Senior's luncheon--in fact, you can even tell them that as long as they continue to treat you this way, you will not socialize with them. But you MUST treat them with honor and respect--it's required of all of us. | ||||||

"If... My people, who are called by My name, humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 2 Chr. 7:14 | ||||||
37 | Pilate's wife is dreaming? | Matt 27:19 | gmsmith101 | 5054 | ||
I agree. Although this is definitely a mysterious and intriguing passage, I think it would require pure speculation to come up with an answer. We simply aren't provided with this information. | ||||||
38 | Mrk16:17/Act2:11 what's the difference | Mark 16:17 | gmsmith101 | 3927 | ||
When the tongues phenomenon occurred in the Bible, it happened with a purpose. These early occurrances of tongues-speaking happened when people of different languages were gathered. The purpose, clearly, was so that people of other nations could hear the Gospel in their own language. (See Acts 2:6) Paul discouraged tongues without an interpreter. What is the purpose of the gift, if no one understands? 1 Cor. 12:10 calls the gift of tongues and interpretation of tongues two different gifts. Therefore, the one speaking in tongues cannot be the one interpreting the tongues. 1 Cor. 14:2 says that one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to man, but to God, and that he does not edify the church but himself. Keep in mind that tongues was low on the totem pole of gifts, as far as Paul was concerned. The most important purpose of the gifts was to edify the CHURCH ("for the common good"). The wording in v. 5 also makes it clear that although tongues was a valued gift, the interpretation of tongues was better, so that the church may be edified. There is no instance of the type of tongues you are talking about (where everyone in the church is praying and then people just start speaking tongues all over the place) anywhere in the Scripture. I know this is happening in many churches today, but there is no Scriptural support for this activity whatsoever. |

39 | Demon-possessed believer? | Luke 4:33 | gmsmith101 | 4709 | ||
What does a house with many rooms have to do wth demon possession? I don't think that's what Jesus was referring to at all. | ||||||
40 | Who wet Jesus feet with her tears? | Luke 7:44 | gmsmith101 | 4151 | ||
This woman is unnamed in the Gospel accounts. Although many would have you believe that what took place in Luke 7:38-50 is the same as the annointing that took place in Matt 26:6-13, Mark 14:3-9, and John 12:1-8, these were accounts of a completely different event. These three accounts are of the same event and took place in Bethany. THIS woman was Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus. There is no reason to think it is the same woman, because Mary and Martha were godly, respected women, and the woman in the Luke story was a sinner, or sinful woman--most likely a prostitute or an adulterous. Hope this helps in some way. | ||||||
