21 | Was Sabbath tested prior to Sinai. | OT general | wordoer | 155154 | ||
Hello swerv, Well, In addition to Makarios' answer, I see at least one right off that was tested. Gen 26:5 because Abraham obeyed Me and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes and My laws." So there it is, the Law of God in existance before Mt. Sinai. He had to have been tested, because it says he was obedient. But, It appears God kept this Sabbath day, as it is written in Genesis 2:2-3, My Bible even references Exodus 20:8-11. It has probably existed as long as God. wordoer |

22 | the law regarding a wedding | OT general | wordoer | 157735 | ||
Hello candice, I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for in the way of an answer; maybe you could clarify your question to be more specific. There seems to be a lot of traditional rituals that are adhered to by different cultures. In some cases the Bible says that a man took a wife, and from what I can see, a wedding can be as simple as a man and a woman giving each other the vows, in front of two witnesses. I would hazard to guess that "taking a wife" has different contexts as to the condition or situation of His people as a nation. I cannot find any hard and fast rules/laws on the wedding itself (as I understand the ceremony), other than the MAN and WOMAN must be in agreement when entering the covenant. Therefore the vows that are taken reflect the agreement of the parties. I had previously posted on marriage vows (which are given in the wedding) in post # 96145, you can enter that number in the search box in the upper right hand of the page to read that. There are laws for marriage, divorce, and other related subjects. The word "wedding", used in scripture, seems to be used in some cases, as "marriage". hope this helps, wordoer |

23 | What is the date of Jesus birth? | NT general Archive 1 | wordoer | 27689 | ||
My understanding is that the Hebrews considered that being "born", happened at conception. If this event (conception)occured on or about December 25th it would put the date of what we call "birth" ( 9 months later ) in late September, I back this up with a scripture from Luke 2:8, about some of the shepherds being out in the field,(probably close to time of bringing the flocks in for shelter),which would not have been out in the winter season. I believe the feast(of trumpets), took place around the September date, He was brought forth at the sounding of the Trumpet, ,it makes sense to me. | ||||||
24 | Where does sickness come from? | NT general Archive 1 | wordoer | 32029 | ||
Sickness is a promise from God for not keeping His Law. Actually we bring it on ourselves (in the form of curses)for being disobedient, You can read this in Deuteronomy 28:15-68 .God can not lie, Numbers 23:19, Romans 3:4. wordoer |

25 | IS BAPTISM NECESSARY | NT general | wordoer | 221086 | ||
Hello MAMAMETAL, Now here is a contradiction, Baptism now saves us. "1 Pet 3:21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, " Now what will you do? Peter was speaking to believers in Acts Chapter 2. wordoer |

26 | WHAT WAS IT BEFORE IT " BECAME"? | Genesis | wordoer | 30735 | ||
Before it became without form and void it was still the "earth", that was created in the beginning, Genesis 1:1. We know that God is not the author of confusion, 1Cor 14:33, and it is hard to imagine He created the earth a mixed up mess. I believe He created it with order and to be habitated. The rest of verse 2 bears out that darkness (God's judgement) was over the surface of the deep. If you consider the archeological findings consisting of so-called cavemen, dinosaur fossils, and all the organic materials that have turned to coal oil and gas, would it not make sense that God created the earth to be a dwelling place for His creation. Then because His creation became corrupt He brought judgement upon it. Read another reference of when the earth was formless and void in Jeremiah 4:23-26. It's also pretty obvious that the earth is millions of years old according to all that has been uncovered and still many maintain that the earth is 6000 yrs. old. 2Peter 3:1-9,is also worth reading, notice that in verse 5 the earth was formed out of water and by water (I don't think this is talking about Noahs flood). Back in Jeremiah it say's the heavens had no light (a perfect scenario for an ice age). Verse 7 of 2peter 3, speaks of the present heavens(today's heavens have lights). I think it is a very interesting subject and worth studying because, "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter" Proverbs 25:2. I hope this helps you. wordoer |

27 | Does God create some people evil from bi | Genesis | wordoer | 225834 | ||
Ps 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; These who speak lies go astray from birth. Is 54:16 "Behold, I Myself have created the smith who blows the fire of coals And brings out a weapon for its work; And I have created the destroyer to ruin. Also, Jer 18. Rom 9:22 What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction?

28 | Two Creation Stories? | Gen 1:1 | wordoer | 41670 | ||
Hello, I just started reading a book on this subject. I will hit on a couple of the things briefly just to give you an idea. What I have been able to glean thus far is that The second chapter of Genesis is not a retelling of the first chapter. God (Elohiym) is plural (signifing the Godhead)in the creation account of Genesis 1, In verses 27-30 it is saying that He created them male and female -at the same time, and that the word "image" comes from the Hebrew word "tselem" which means to "shade". That word comes from the root word "tsalal" meaning to be dark, shadowing. Also there were no carnivores at this time in creation, as God instructed the beast and fowl to eat the green herb, ect,. In Genesis 2 God is know as Yahovah which is singular in form, in verse 5 of chapter 2, God says "there was not a man to till the ground" the account goes on - Adam is formed , not commanded to be fruitful and multiply,or to replenish the earth , but put in the garden for the reason of keeping and dressing it. Then He gave Adam the law, He was not to eat of a certain tree, The male and female of Gen 1 had no such instruction. In the account of forming a helpmeet for Adam the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air occur before God took Adams rib to form Eve. So the position they are taking is that the 2nd chapter is not a retelling of the 1st chapter and God is recognized differently in the separate accounts. I looked in Strongs concordance and it gives both accounts of God as number "430" Elohiym, However the Interlinear Bible does show a difference, and gives God Jehovah "3068" in the case of Gen 2:5. It does appear to me that there is a difference in the two accounts in question. I hope this helps you, wordoer |

29 | Creation of man noted on 2 diff. days? | Gen 1:27 | wordoer | 157763 | ||
Hello rayanez, I guess the following statement, "For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. 2 Tim 4:3a NIV", that kalos points out disqualifies me from giving a reasonable answer as it may be seen as "not sound doctrine" by the many. My answer to your question is that Adam was an eighth day creation, other men and women were created previously. I and a few others see these accounts in Genesis 1 and 2 as a continuation of the creation account. Two questions I would like to have answered is, "Where in scripture does God have a point gone over to explain in greater detail other than the supposed Genesis 1, and 2 accounts?", and "Is there an example for us to take the position that Genesis 1, and 2 are the same accounts?". In the account in Gen.1:26,27 this man and woman were spoken into existance, and in the Gen.2:7 the man was formed out of the dust of the ground, and in Gen.2:5 states that there was not a man to till the ground. Adam was a farmer, these created in 1:27 were hunter, gatherers. Then we have in Gen 3:1, the serpent, Ok a talking snake, possibly the progeny of those John spoke to in Matthew 3:7, "you brood of vipers", Did John see and speak to snakes, or men? These other peoples are mentioned throughout scripture. wordoer |

30 | Why did Adam grow old? | Gen 5:5 | wordoer | 100952 | ||
Hello Ken hepting, Of course I believe Adam would have grown old irregardless of his sin, as time passes, at each circuit of the earth around the sun, you accumulate years to your life, No different than Adam. The thing about Adam that I find interesting is that God told them in the day they ate of the fruit they would die. Gen 2:17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die." No one has ever lived past that mark of a "day". 2 Pet 3:8 But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. Gen 5:5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died. Did he not die in that day? Death was a promise, but not a reality before Adam sinned. What thinkest thou? wordoer |

31 | why did noah curse cannan | Gen 9:22 | wordoer | 30960 | ||
The question lies in the definition of the term nakedness. This was what Ham did - saw his fathers nakedness,Gen 9:22, I know the scripture does not descibe all the intricacies, But I submit the following for your consideration. In Lev 18:6, "None of you shall approach any blood relative of his to uncover nakedness; I am the Lord". verse 7 states that the nakedness of your father is your mother. verse 13 states a situation of uncovering nakedness, where the person is a blood relative. verse 17 also refers to blood relatives, and states that it is lewdness. Now if you know what happens when blood relatives (the examples in Lev 18 are close blood relatives) have intercourse resulting in child birth(inbreeding),certain abilities are diminished (retardedness). One apparent thing they didn't lack was the tendency toward wickedness. So I believe that Canaan was the result of relations between Ham and his mother. I believe there you have the reason why Canaan was cursed to be a servant of servants. I think it was announced by Noah to show his disapproval and understanding that Canaan would be genetically defective, it seems like a natural (God ordained) thing that Canaan was (genetically) cursed at conception for the violation of God's Law on the matter.

32 | What was the name of Lot´s wife? | Gen 19:26 | wordoer | 73642 | ||
Her name is not mentioned in the Bible, however it is recorded in the book of Jasher(Jashar- in the NASB) , This extra-Biblical work is refered to twice in the Holy Scriptures, specifically in, Josh 10:13, 2 Sam 1:18. In Jasher 19:52: "...and Ado the wife of Lot looked back to see the destruction of the cities..." wordoer |

33 | What was the name of Lot´s wife? | Gen 19:26 | wordoer | 73795 | ||
Hello EdB, Thank you for your response and concern in this matter. I believe the scripture is very clear about not letting any man deceive us. I’m no Bible expert, But, let me run this by you, for your consideration. I am reading along in the Word of God , and I come across these references to the book of Jasher, that two great men of God, Joshua and David are directing my attention to. (As a means of validating what they are saying.) So , my interest is aroused, and I search out and obtain a copy of this book. I will admit I have not read the whole way through the book as my studies send me off in different directions to find information. I was a little concerned last night after reading Taleb’s reply, where it was pointed out to me that neither reference was valid. What?!!! I knew that the account of Joshua was in there so I looked at that first, and yes, it’s still there. If I could talk to Joshua, I would tell him, Yes, I’ve read of the account of which you speak, and it is written in Jasher. My main concern was David’s reference in 2Sam 1:18, I had not checked it out, ( Forgive me, and Thank you for helping to keep me honest). So, I went and started reading, and guess what, I found it! So now also, if I could talk to David, I could tell him, Yes , I have seen where it is written. Now , I’m dry, what I need is this, “more than a little proof”, you speak of. I mean if this book is wrong, or contrary to the scriptures, I want to check it out and make sure before I toss it out. But, if it is true or at least worthy of noting, I would like to be able to glean information from it. For example, the name of Lot’s wife. I also doubt the writer of Jasher forgot to write anything as it was apparently written before Joshua and David referred to it. I realize that this book (Jasher) is not the inspired Word of God.( If a subject of disagreement arose between God’s Word and Jasher, The Holy Scriptures would win out hands down.) This does however appear to be an excellent history book, with between the lines information of early Biblical accounts. Also consider this, God’s Word says it is written in Jasher, Is it not calling God a liar, If we deny the what the Word tells us. I looked and these things are written in the Book of Jasher. Now you have two contrary accounts of the references to this book, My account is agreeable with scripture, Biblical experts refute it as a deception. Someone is lying, You judge for yourself. I will provide the references if you are interested, Or you could do like I did and check it out for yourself. Anyway, Who would waste time and read through a book that has been labeled as deception just to check to see if the Bible experts are telling the truth. Let no man deceive you with empty words. I want to add that it was not my intention to defend the Book of Jasher, ( I do think it was unduly maligned) and it will have to stand on its own. But to defend the Word of God , I hope you can see where Biblical experts have denied the Word of God. Yours in truth, wordoer |

34 | What was the name of Lot´s wife? | Gen 19:26 | wordoer | 73891 | ||
Hello EdB, I want to acknowledge that I do see your point, I realize it could be a fraud , But, I need evidence to look at to study and prove it out. (I have Taleb's link) If it is a fraud, I will acknowledge it as such and post a retraction ,stating among other things that it is possible that Lot's wife's name is not "Ado", as I posted previously. I wish to investigate this to it's end, and solidly establish (at least in my mind), the fraudulency or the credibility of this 1840 version of "The Book of Jasher". I would like your opinion on this though, If in studying these contradictory notes, I find the "Book of Jasher" to be credible or fraudulent, should I post the results at the referenced scriptures in the Bible, on this website? I do thank you for your response, wordoer |

35 | What was the name of Lot´s wife? | Gen 19:26 | wordoer | 73892 | ||
Hello Taleb, Don't worry, I will stay in God's Word, But, like I said, it says it in the Word, I am merely investigating to see if it is true. I did some investigating and, I only know of two different books a 1829 (maybe the "Jewish cultists" version, I don't know what that term implies, but, I see the fruit of it, lies) version which is most apparent to be a fraud. However, The 1840 version (which I have)appears to be credible. I looked at the link you provided (Thanks) and have read some of the so called contradictions and problems, but, I started investigating and this 1840 version is proving to be more credible at each contradition that is listed. Some of them I have to answer with "So what?",I would like to offer this one to you. This is clearly a deception, This is the statement made, "Simeon could not be bound in Jasher 51:37 but in Genesis. 42:24 Simeon is bound before their eyes." This is clearly contrary to scripture, Wrong. Apparently, and according to the writing in Jasher, Simeon was a very strong man. And Jasher affirms the Holy scripture that says Simeon is "bound" a few verses later. with this; And Manassah laid hold of Simeon and he seized him violently and bound him and brought him into the house of confinement,... So Simeon is bound in the Book of Jasher! One lie brought into the light. Not a contradiction at all. Boom!!!, I think that one was blown out of the water. The others appear to be of the same nature, some are a little trickier than others but I will examine them carefully. If they are all as easy as the one listed, This will be a piece of cake. JW's are supposed to be coming back, I wasn't able to talk to them when they stopped by last week. I like that, and believe it is true about knowing the real, before looking at the couterfeit. I am looking for the proof, that this 1840 version is a fraud, If it doesn't materialize, I should still reject it as a fraud? I do appreciate your response,in Christian love, wordoer |

37 | Plese give some history on Boaz | Gen 21:12 | wordoer | 34000 | ||
I have studied this a little, and have come to find that in the days of old people were known by their occupation, Or that of their Father, Along with their given (first) name. So if Boaz' Father would have been a Shoe maker, He would be known as Boaz Shumacher, or some derivation. And likewise with other occupations or status in society, Sons of Isaac would have been know as Isaacsons, Isacksons, or Saxons (Genesis 21:12). So in days of old those "Last", names were really not necessary. Hope that helps you. wordoer |

38 | First cousin marriages today? | Gen 28:2 | wordoer | 34881 | ||
According to the account in Genesis 28, There is no restiction against marrying a first cousin. Rebecca sent Jacob to take a wife from the Daughters of Laban her brother. God certainly does not condemn it. The restrictions in Leviticus 18 are clear, that relations with a close blood relative are forbidden. The examples are listed Father, Mother, Sister, Brother, Aunt, Uncle, ect... It suprised me because I had always heard and believed that marriage is resticted to the relation of second cousins, Meaning that it was okay to marry your second cousin. I see no other laws forbidding marriage to first cousins. Also the accounts in the scripture about the Daughters of Lot having relations with Lot resulted in the Moabites and the Ammonites (genetic defects) which were considered wicked lineage (Caanan also). My point would be if Jacobs union to Rebecca had not pleased God, He would have condemned their children and not blessed them. Hope that helps, wordoer |

39 | What Bible says on marriage of relatives | Gen 28:2 | wordoer | 154448 | ||
Hello tkt, You may read the Law in Leviticus chapter 18 to discern what relationships are forbidden. But the Bible example we have to learn from shows that it would be no closer than first cousins. I have also studied into Abrahams relation to Sarah, and I believe she was Abrahams brother Terah's daughter, which would have made her Abrahams niece. And Foxworthy joked about rednecks going to family reunions to find a mate. Well, maybe they were rednecks, and God loved them and blessed them. wordoer |
