41 | Eve always blamed for the fall of Man. | Gen 3:12 | Shelly | 137090 | ||
I think it's unfortunate that in today's society, a lot of people are always looking for someone else to take the blame, and are not responsible for their own actions. Adam IS accountable for what he did, even though he tried to blame someone else. |

42 | Was Cain the first son of Adam? | Gen 4:1 | Shelly | 48835 | ||
My NIV Bible study notes says: Cain's guilt and fear over killing his brother were heavy, and he probably feared repercussions from his family. If he was capable of killing, so were they. |
||||||
43 | Who were Cain's enemies? | Gen 4:14 | Shelly | 56424 | ||
In Gen 4:14 We have heard about only four people so far--Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel. Two questions arise: Why was Cain worried about being killed by others, and where did he get his wife (see Genesis 4:17)? Adam and Eve had numerous children; they had been told to "fill the earth" (Genesis 1:28). Cain's guilt and fear over killing his brother were heavy, and he probably feared repercussions from his family. If he was capable of killing, so were they. The wife Cain chose may have been one of his sisters or a niece. The human race was still genetically pure, and there was no fear of side effects from marrying relatives. |
||||||
44 | what verse, must repay seven times ? | Gen 4:15 | Shelly | 167905 | ||
Gen 4:15 So the LORD said to him, "Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD appointed a sign for Cain, so that no one finding him would slay him. | ||||||
45 | Which line did Cain's wife come from | Gen 5:4 | Shelly | 119839 | ||
Genesis 5:4 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. | ||||||
46 | Where did Cains wife come from? | Gen 5:4 | Shelly | 209958 | ||
Gen 5:4 Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters. | ||||||
47 | what are nephilim | Gen 6:4 | Shelly | 157276 | ||
The NIV Stude Bible notes says on Gen 6:4 - The Nephilim were giants, people probably nine or ten feet tall. These may have been the same people mentioned in Numbers 13:33. Goliath, who was nine feet tall, appears in 1 Samuel 17. The Nephilim used their physical advantage to oppress the people around them. | ||||||
48 | Need questions on Noah answered! | Gen 10:21 | Shelly | 79126 | ||
They weren't triplets: Genesis 10:21 Sons were also born to Shem, whose older brother was Japheth; Shem was the ancestor of all the sons of Eber. |

49 | Who and what was Melchisedek? | Gen 14:1 | Shelly | 11307 | ||
This is what my NIV Life Application Bible notes say: 14:18 MELCHIZEDEK Do you like a good mystery? History is full of them! They usually involve people. One of the most mysterious people in the Bible is the King of Peace, Melchizedek. He appeared one day in the life of Abraham (then Abram) and was never heard from again. What happened that day, however, was to be remembered throughout history and eventually became a subject of a New Testament letter (Hebrews). This meeting between Abram and Melchizedek was most unusual. Although the two men were strangers and foreigners to each other, they shared a most important characteristic: both worshiped and served the one God who made heaven and earth. This was a great moment of triumph for Abram. He had just defeated an army and regained the freedom of a large group of captives. If there was any doubt in his mind about whose victory it was, Melchizedek set the record straight by reminding Abram, "Blessed be God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand" (Genesis 14:20). Abram recognized that this man worshiped the same God he did. Melchizedek was one of a small group of God-honoring people throughout the Old Testament who came in contact with the Jews (Israelites) but were not Jews themselves. This indicates that the requirement to be a follower of God is not genetic, but is based on faithfully obeying his teachings and recognizing his greatness. Do you let God speak to you through other people? In evaluating others, do you consider God's impact on their lives? Are you aware of the similarities between yourself and others who worship God, even if their form of worship is quite different from yours? Do you know the God of the Bible well enough to know if you truly worship him? Allow Melchizedek, Abraham, David, and Jesus, along with many other persons in the Bible, to show you this great God, Creator of heaven and earth. He wants you to know how much he loves you; he wants you to know him personally. Strengths and accomplishments: - The first priest/king of Scripture--a leader with a heart tuned to God - Good at encouraging others to serve God wholeheartedly - A man whose character reflected his love for God - A person in the Old Testament who reminds us of Jesus and who some believe really was Jesus Lesson from his life: - Live for God and you're likely to be at the right place at the right time. Examine your heart: to whom or what is your greatest loyalty? If you can honestly answer 'God,' you are living for him VITAL STATISTICS - Where: Ruled in Salem, site of the future Jerusalem - Occupation: King of Salem and priest of God Most High Key verses: "This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, . . . Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!" (Hebrews 7:1, 4). Melchizedek's story is told in Genesis 14:17-20. He is also mentioned in Psalm 110:4; Hebrews 5-7. 14:18 Who was Melchizedek? He was obviously a God-fearing man, for his name means "king of righteousness," and king of Salem means "king of peace." He was a "priest of God Most High" (Hebrews 7:1, 2). He recognized God as Creator of heaven and earth. What else is known about him? Four main theories have been suggested. (1) Melchizedek was a respected king of that region. Abram was simply showing him the respect he deserved. (2) The name Melchizedek may have been a standing title for all the kings of Salem. (3) Melchizedek was a type of Christ (Hebrews 7:3). A type is an Old Testament event or teaching that is so closely related to what Christ did that it illustrates a lesson about Christ. (4) Melchizedek was the appearance on earth of the preincarnate Christ in a temporary bodily form. |

51 | significance of hand under thigh? | Gen 24:12 | Shelly | 84157 | ||
NIV Bible study notes says: Gen 24:2, 9 In Abraham's culture, putting a hand under the thigh was how an agreement was sealed or a covenant ratified. To accomplish the same purpose, we shake hands, swear oaths, or sign documents in the presence of a notary public. |

52 | Who are the twelve sons of Jacab ? | Gen 35:22 | Shelly | 129149 | ||
Genesis 35:22-26 [22] While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father's concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard of it. Jacob had twelve sons: [23] The sons of Leah: Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun. [24] The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. [25] The sons of Rachel's maidservant Bilhah: Dan and Naphtali. [26] The sons of Leah's maidservant Zilpah: Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram. |

53 | "...sin against God?" | Gen 39:9 | Shelly | 102115 | ||
Genesis 3:22 And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil." People after Adam had the knowledge of God and good and evil, and they would have passed it on from generation to generation. The first few books of Genesis covers many hundreds of years of history, and there were many written accounts of this time. Moses combined these accounts together when he wrote Genesis. In Deuteronomy, when he gave the 10 commandments, the rules had already been in place - the commandments were just like a revision lesson to get them to sink in a bit better. |

55 | GOD WANTED TO KILL MOSES IN EXDOSE 4:24 | Ex 4:24 | Shelly | 28945 | ||
My NIV Bible study notes say: EX 4:24-26 God was about to kill Moses because Moses had not circumcised his son. Why hadn't Moses done this? Remember that Moses had spent half his life in Pharaoh's palace and half his life in the Midianite desert. He might not have been too familiar with God's laws, especially since all the requirements of God's covenant with Israel (Genesis 17) had not been actively carried out for over 400 years. In addition, Moses' wife, due to her Midianite background, may have opposed circumcision. But Moses could not effectively serve as deliverer of God's people until he had fulfilled the conditions of God's covenant, and one of those conditions was circumcision. Before they could go any farther, Moses and his family had to follow God's commands completely. Under Old Testament law, failing to circumcise your son was to remove yourself and your family from God's blessings. Moses learned that disobeying God was even more dangerous than tangling with an Egyptian pharaoh. |

56 | Is it wrong to buy and sell dogs? | Deuteronomy | Shelly | 39364 | ||
very interesting! What version is your Bible translation? NIV Deut. 23:18 says: You must not bring the earnings of a female prostitute or of a male prostitute* (Hebrew "of a dog") into the house of the LORD your God to pay any vow, because the LORD your God detests them both. |

Deut 18:10 "There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, Deut 18:11 or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. Deut 18:12 "For whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD; and because of these detestable things the LORD your God will drive them out before you. |

60 | What lesson can be learnt from Sampson? | Judges | Shelly | 18972 | ||
My NIV Bible study otes says: (Judges 16:28-30) In spite of Samson's past, God still answered his prayer and destroyed the pagan temple and worshipers. God still loved him. He was willing to hear Samson's prayer of confession and repentance and use him this final time. One of the effects of sin in our lives is to keep us from feeling like praying. But perfect moral behavior is not a condition for prayer. Don't let guilt feelings over sin keep you from your only means of restoration. No matter how long you have been away from God, he is ready to hear from you and restore you to a right relationship. Every situation can be salvaged if you are willing to turn again to him. If God could still work in Samson's situation, he can certainly make something worthwhile out of yours. | ||||||
