61 | Can God Bless America? | Prov 14:34 | TheFinalSQL | 119654 | ||
Psalms 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. The USA has taken prayer out of the schools. The USA has taken the ten commandments out of courthouses. The USA has taken every opportunity to invoke this idea of separation of church and state. Our nation no longer has God as LORD. Unless it does I do not think the LORD will bless this nation. It's a good thing salvation is an individual experience: Acts 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Praise the Lord! Norm |

62 | Evidence of the Holy Spirit | John 3:8 | TheFinalSQL | 119652 | ||
John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 16:7-15 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. Praise the Lord! Norm |

64 | What were the Urim and Thumim? | Ex 28:30 | TheFinalSQL | 119628 | ||
28:30 Urim and the Thummim. The etymological source of these two terms, as well as the material nature of the objects represented by them, cannot be established with any degree of finality. Clearly two separate objects were inserted into the breastplate and became thereby an essential part of the High-Priest’s official regalia. Aaron and his successors bore over their heart “the judgment of the children of Israel,” i.e., “judgment” in the sense of giving a verdict or decision. The passages in which the terms appear (Lev. 8:8; Num. 27:21; Deut. 33:8; 1 Sam 28:6; Ezra 2:63; Neh. 7:65) and those which record inquiries of the Lord when a High-Priest with the ephod was present (Josh. 9:14; Judg. 1:1, 2; 20:18; 1 Sam. 10:22; 23:2, 4, 10–12; 1 Chr. 10:14) allow for the following conclusions: 1) that these two objects represented the right of the High-Priest to request guidance for the acknowledged leader who could not approach God directly, as Moses had done, but had to come via the God-ordained priestly structure, and 2) that the revelation then received gave specific direction for an immediate problem or crisis, and went beyond what could be associated with some sort of sacred lots providing merely a wordless “yes” and “no” response.

66 | why isn't the fourth commandment kept? | Ex 20:8 | TheFinalSQL | 119510 | ||
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. Galatians 4:8-11 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. Praise the Lord! Norm |

67 | The first prayer offered in the Bible | Bible general Archive 2 | TheFinalSQL | 119486 | ||
Here are some of the earliest mentionings of prayer in the Bible. Genesis 20:17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children. Eliphaz the Temanite: Job 15:4 Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God. Job: Job 16:17 Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure. Praise the Lord! Norm |

68 | Does the OT apply to us as christians? | Bible general Archive 2 | TheFinalSQL | 118446 | ||
You ask the question of the OT, but your answer deals with the law. The OT does apply to us as Christians, scripture in the Bible is the old testament. The new had not been written. The only exception may be Peter talking about Paul's Epistles in 2 Peter 3:15,16 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. Acts 17:2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, Acts 17:10-11 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Matthew 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Here are the keys(power and authority) Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And Philip with this understanding he received of the sciptures, the old testament he was able to preach Jesus: Acts 8:26-40 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. Praise the Lord! Norm |

69 | if Jesus died on Friday and rose Sunday | John | TheFinalSQL | 118445 | ||
Jesus died on the preparation day(the day before the sabbath) John 19:31-33 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: He rose on the first day of the week(the day after the sabbath): John 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. To help understand how time is viewed: Genesis 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. The preparation day begins on our Thursday evening. The first day of the week is Sunday. Now you may say that Thursday to Sunday is 4 days, but remember, it is 3 Hebrew days and 3 Hebrew nights. Praise the Lord! Norm |

71 | matt11vs11 | Luke | TheFinalSQL | 118366 | ||
The account in the 7th chapter of Luke may provide a little more insight as to the greatest clause: Luke 7:28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. No matter how good you are on earth. It is better to be in the kingdom of God. Praise the Lord! Norm |

72 | Ordained of God or Man? | Bible general Archive 2 | TheFinalSQL | 118156 | ||
Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. Ezekiel 3:17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Romans 10:14-15 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Praise the Lord! Norm |

73 | King of the jews | Luke 1:32 | TheFinalSQL | 118120 | ||
There is one Jew that attends the same church I do. He believes in Jesus Christ, so I do not think a blanket statement about Jews can apply. Most of the new testament was written by Jews. Judaism however, does not believe their king has come yet. Jesus was called king of the Jews by a Roman: John 19:19-22 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. Here is what Jesus said on the subject: John 18:33-37 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. Praise the Lord! Norm |

75 | how long was Noah actually on the ark | Genesis | TheFinalSQL | 117945 | ||
Looks like 1 year and 10 days. Genesis 7:11-12 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. Genesis 8:14-17 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. And God spake unto Noah, saying, Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. Praise the Lord! Norm |

76 | Norm - Where is the third night? | Luke 24:21 | TheFinalSQL | 117862 | ||
Genesis 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. For purpose of this argument we will say the sun sets at 6PM and rises at 6AM Day equals light Night equals darkness Friday - light - Death to 6PM Friday - darkness 6AM - 6PM to Midnight Saturday - darkness - Midnight to 6AM Saturday - light - 6AM to 6PM Saturday - darkness - 6PM to Midnight Sunday - darkness - Midnight to 6AM Sunday - light - 6AM to Resurrection Three periods of light, two periods of darkness. I see what you are saying now. The Jews' preparation day, also mention in John 19:31 John 19:42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand. The preparation would begin in the evening on our Thursday. Thank you for being persisent! I now see the light. Thursday - darkness - 6PM to Death to Midnight Friday - darkness - Midnight to 6AM Friday - light - 6AM to 6PM Friday - darkness - 6PM to Midnight Saturday - darkness - Midnight to 6AM Saturday - light - 6AM to 6PM Saturday - darkness - 6PM to Midnight Sunday - darkness - Midnight to 6AM Sunday - light - 6AM to Resurrection Praise the Lord!

Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. Praise the Lord! Norm |

78 | When is the third day since Sunday? | Luke 24:21 | TheFinalSQL | 117832 | ||
Here is a scripture that may help you better understand how the Jews viewed Time. 1 Samuel 30:12-13 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights. And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.

79 | Does this mean baptism for salvation? | John 3:5 | TheFinalSQL | 117765 | ||
Romans 6:3-5 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Praise the Lord! Norm |

80 | jesus sat on the right hand of god | John 1:1 | TheFinalSQL | 117710 | ||
The right hand is the power of God: Matthew 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Both sitting on the right hand and coming in the clouds? Sitting/sat might not mean what we think it does. The verse you mention: Mark 16:19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. Looking at the Strong's definition for "sat" number 2523: 1) to make to sit down a) to set, appoint, to confer a kingdom on one Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Jesus finished what he was set out to do. He sat or was appointed, the kingdom. Sitting on the right hand says Jesus is the power of God. Thank you Jesus!! Praise the Lord! Norm |
