42 | INCEST IN THE NEW TESTIMENT | Lev 18:10 | BradK | 232669 | ||
Hello Lindasue, There's nothing specifically speaking against "sexual relations with family" in the NT. However,there are some general directives given. Among them are: 1 Thess 4:3, "For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality;" (NASB) This would certainly include incest. I hope this helps, BradK |

44 | Where was Enoch "translated"? | Heb 11:13 | BradK | 232589 | ||
Hi Dan, Here's the previous related posts in my discussion with EdB (#232479, 232514, 232527). Wuest notes, "(11:5) Enoch was translated. The word is ['metatithemi']. The verb 'tithemi' means “to place,” the prefixed preposition 'meta' signifying a change, the compound word meaning “to transpose” (two things, one of which is put in place of the other). This word is used in Acts 7:16 of the transporting of the remains of Jacob and his sons to Shechem, in Gal. 1:6 of the sudden change of the doctrinal position of the Galatian Christians, and in Heb. 7:12, of the change of the law of the priesthood, a new regulation being instituted in place of the old. In the case of Enoch, the word speaks of his sudden transference from earth to heaven. It refers to a change of position. It was one thing put in the place of another, heaven for Enoch rather than earth. Now, in the transference of believers from earth to heaven, that operation is effected usually by death. But in the case of Enoch, it was apart from death. He departed this earthly scene without dying." [Wuest, K. S. (1997). Wuest's word studies from the Greek New Testament] Rather than repost entirely, I'll hope this is helpful in answering your question. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

45 | Did Moses or Noah go to Hell? | OT general | BradK | 232420 | ||
Hello Storeman, What leads you ask this question? There is absolutely nothing in scripture that would indicate they went to hell! In fact, Hebrews 11 supports the opposite- they were both commended for their faith! Heb 11:7, "By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith." Heb 11:24-26, "By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward."

46 | How Murders get into Heaven | Eph 2:8 | BradK | 232323 | ||
Hi Lisaharl, Remember, what scripture tells us about our "good works", righteousness and nature: Is 64:6 "For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away." (NASB) Rom 3:10, "as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; Rom 3:11, "THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; Rom 3:12, "ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE." "We too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest." (Eph. 2:3) Salvation is not based upon what we do (or don't do), but rests upon the completed work of Christ. We are then saved on the basis of God's grace throught faith (sola fidei) Eph. 2:8-9, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." Titus 3:5 really brings the point home: "He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit," I hope this helps to answer your question.

50 | Deut 22:29, Rapist to marry victim? | Deut 22:28 | BradK | 231803 | ||
Hi MJH, Thanks for the request to provide input on this matter. Hopefully I can offer something that will clarify for you. I’m not sure what “issues” you are struggling with on this text- other than translation? The NASB reads, “If a man finds a girl who is a virgin, who is not engaged, and seizes her and lies with her and they are discovered, then the man who lay with her shall give to the girl’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall become his wife because he has violated her; he cannot divorce her all his days. “ The passage does seem to clearly describe a rape. In fact, The Bible Knowledge Commentary notes, “A man who raped an unbetrothed virgin was forced to marry her (after paying the bride-price of 50 shekels to her father) and had to forfeit the right of divorce. This protected, to a degree, the girl’s honor and assured her (and her child if she became pregnant from the rape) permanent support. This stipulation may also have served as a deterrent against rape since the man would have to live with that woman for the rest of his life.” The context is in giving the laws concerning sexual immorality to Israel. I do not believe the Church (the body of Christ) is in view here. The interpretive question I ask is this: Is this passage Descriptive or Prescriptive? Is it merely describing a possible (unfortunate) circumstance that could occur to the Israelites and how to handle it; Or is it Prescribing action to be taken for all times by all people? I believe it to be descriptive in nature. So, the passage is not (IMO) related specifically as instruction for us. As the Commentary Critical observes, “The regulations that follow might be imperatively needful in the then situation of the Israelites; and yet, it is not necessary that we should curiously and impertinently inquire into them. So far was it from being unworthy of God to leave such things upon record, that the enactments must heighten our admiration of His wisdom and goodness in the management of a people so perverse and so given to irregular passions. Nor is it a better argument that the Scriptures were not written by inspiration of God to object that this passage, and others of a like nature, tend to corrupt the imagination and will be abused by evil-disposed readers, than it is to say that the sun was not created by God, because its light may be abused by wicked men as an assistant in committing crimes which they have meditated [HORNE].” I hope this helps to answer your question.

52 | What transpired when Jesus went to hell | 1 Pet 3:19 | BradK | 231727 | ||
Hello jancu, 1 Pet 3:19 says, "in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison" (NASB) It's exact meaning is unclear (IMO), it arguably being one of the most difficult verses in the NT. The Nicene Creed not withstanding, there is nothing from scripture that says- or otherwise implies that Jesus went to hell (to atone for our sins). 1 John 2:2 tells us, "and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world."

Hello annasmith1831, The initial sections of scripture don't explicitly tell us "why" these men found favor with God, i. e. Gen 6;8. However, a studied reading of Hebrews 11 will provide the answer! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello marieflngn, The self-existence of God is also referred to ny it's older name, the Aseity of God. This sounds lilke it might be a test question? A good Systematic Theology in it's section on the attributes of God would be a good resource and lead into to learing on this question. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

55 | Is it bad to be freaky with your bf? | James 4:17 | BradK | 231699 | ||
Hi ryo123, Welcome to the Forum. I've never heard what is commonly referred to as petting called "freaky"? At any rate, James 4:17 instructs us, "Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin." (NASB) Further, Rom. 14:23 tells us, "...and whatever is not from faith is sin." So, my answer would be, yes it is sin. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

57 | Why did Adam sin? | 1 Tim 2:14 | BradK | 231530 | ||
Hello pljames, The 'why' can be answered from scripture. Basically, Adam was deceived. In Gen. 3:1, Satan plants the seed of deception when he says to Eve, "Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" Satan then lies to Eve, clearly contradicting what God had commanded them in 2:17 , "The serpent said to the woman, "You surely will not die! "For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." The result of this deception is the fall in to sin. "When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate." Yet, 1 Tim 2:14 Paul tells us, "And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression." The 'how' cannot be fully answered since no one really knows the answer to this question! I hope this helps, BradK |

58 | Is Genesis 20:4 a principle or promise? | Ex 20:4 | BradK | 231515 | ||
Hello M3, Good question. I think we first need to consider the context of what's being said. God is speaking to the Israelites. Then, Notice the prior verse- Ex 20:4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. Ex 20:5 "You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, (NASB) He (God) is speaking this in relation to their idol worship. (cf Ex. 34:13-16) They were 'whoring' after other gods, with the result that they were being lead away from their covenant God- even their sons and daughters, etc. I believe it is speaking specifically to their sin of idolatry. "Iniquity" here can carry the meaning of, depravity, guilt (of condition),or consequence for iniquity. Then, in the broader context, is this descriptive or prescriptive? Is God simply describing a condition of the Israelites due to their idol worship, of is He prescribing as fate to all generations for all time? I think the latter. I hope this helps, BradK |
