61 | Unleavened Bread Prior to Passover? | Matt 26:17 | wordoer | 32096 | ||
Luke 22:7 confirms the statement in Matthew 26:17 as both accounts match. Exodus and Leviticus both confirm that the Passover started on the 14th day of Abib and was also the first day of unleavened bread. Exodus 12:17-18. You may be getting confused because it says "following with 7 days" - while the first day is included with Passover. Hope this clears it up. wordoer |

62 | Is the word 'twilight' confusing? | Matt 26:17 | wordoer | 32220 | ||
Hello , I apologize, it appears that I was confused,(please excuse my ignorance) and I was also unaware of the passage in Leviticus concerning the fifteenth day being the "Feast of Unleavened Bread", I believe I have it straight now. The instuctions say in Exodus 12:8 that they are to eat the Passover with unleavened bread. The following day (15th of Abib) is the "Feast of Unleavened Bread" and following the Passover, the days of unleavened bread was to last seven days beginning on the 15th, Leviticus 23:6. So, I believe it would not be incorrect for those observing "Passover", and the "Feast of Unleavened Bread" to call all days where they were using unleavened bread, "the days of Unleavened bread". It appears that it is eight consecutive days and would not be incorrect to call Passover the first of Unleavened Bread, I believe I have scripture in agreement,(If not let me know). Exodus 12:18, says from 14th at evening until 21st at evening you shall eat unleavened bread, That is 8 consecutive days. It is also interesting how God divides the days, Genesis 1:5 "...And there was evening and there was morning , one day", And "twilight" simply means "evening, sunset", which according to God is the beginning of the day. So my simple answer to your first question is that they were calling a day of unleavened bread (Passover), a day of unleavened bread, That's my take on it. wordoer |

63 | Thief on Cross discrepancy Mt vs Lk | Matt 27:44 | wordoer | 107868 | ||
Hello Xenoid, I wanted to answer you sooner but I could not remember where I had come across the information relating to your question, It happens this evening, I open “Bullinger's Companion Bible”, and there it is in the Appendixes (page 187), Appendix number “164”. In my opinion, (for whatever that is worth), it gives a very detailed account of the discrepancies and possible solution, along with word studies and history, concerning the “others” crucified with our Lord. I hope you find the information helpful, wordoer |

64 | Can we eat unclean foods ie pork,shrimp? | Mark 7:19 | wordoer | 29070 | ||
Hello gixer44, I am glad to hear you are studying the subject, However, the words "unclean", and "food", are not related to each other in OT or NT scripture. No unclean animal was ever classified as being for food,they would make you unclean even if you touched them. However the clean animals were classified as being for food to eat. To answer your question, No, It is nowhere in the NT that God made unclean animals clean for the purpose of food. I used to eat those things, I repented, (It's disgusting to me now that I think about it, I didn't know any better),until I learned that we as Christians should not practice lawlessness (sin). We should desire to do His will. He made all animals for a purpose, it was not for the unclean to be used for food. If God changed how could you follow Him or do His will, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Heb.13:8 The answer to understanding this subject is found in Ezekiel 22:25-26. wordoer |

65 | Age of accountability? | Luke 2:42 | wordoer | 156857 | ||
Hello lionheart, May I ask you, "age of accountability to, or for what?" Please explain. Maybe this is why people can not get a solid answer to this question. I think Jesus' age was mentioned for a reason in this referenced scripture, and I think it does have something to do with His accountability. I look forward to your reply, wordoer |

Hello, 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.

67 | Can you help me with some research? | Luke 23:56 | wordoer | 43656 | ||
Hello scribe, I keep the sabbath by resting one day for every six days that I work. During the sabbath I refrain from doing any physical labor such as house cleaning, yard work, ect.. I will cook on those days, but generally I rest and read from scripture or do studies. I was thinking recently about people who don't keep the sabbath, and wondered if they do eventually have to make up their days of rest, for example , I know a man who has worked for many years and didn't take a whole day of rest in all that time and this past July he had to have a quadruple by-pass operation, and he rested for many months after that, sort of a forced period of rest. That was just a thought I had. wordoer |

69 | ... | John 8:58 | wordoer | 214430 | ||
Hello humility, I do not think that is a parable, but rather a straight answer. The Name is the same, Jesus said in John 17:11, "I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are." Jesus is saying, God gave Him His Name, Jesus. Which is God's Name. Is 25:9 And it will be said in that day, "Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited; Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation." You must read in context - Jesus is simply asking a question in response, then making a straightforward statement. Matt 19:16 And someone came to Him and said, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?" Matt 19:17 And He said to him, "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." Matt 19:18 Then he *said to Him, "Which ones?" And Jesus said, "YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER; YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY; YOU SHALL NOT STEAL; YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS; Matt 19:19 HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER; and YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." wordoer |

70 | What was the name given to Jesus? | John 17:11 | wordoer | 193269 | ||
Pilgrim2eternity, He (Jesus) said to His Father, "keep them in Your Name". The name which you have given Me. Matt 1:20 But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. Matt 1:21 "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." The angel of the Lord told Joseph to call His name "Jesus". This is the name of the Father, "Jesus". Which He has given to His Son. The name given to Jesus, is Jesus. In the great commission, it is a directive to baptize in the name of the Father , Son, and Holy Spirit. Is it possible that this name is "Jesus"? "...that they may be one even as We are." "...and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." wordoer |

72 | Does Hebrew tradition explain folded? | John 20:7 | wordoer | 214156 | ||
Hello Angela, The folded napkin is understood to mean that the Master is not finished. When sitting to eat the slave would stand by silently, and the Master would have his meal. If he put the napkin on the table in a manner (unfolded) meant that he was finished. Jesus left the napkin folded, He is not finished, He is returning. What a great message. wordoer |

73 | Why Is Leviticus11 Ignored by Christians | Rom 10:4 | wordoer | 104864 | ||
Hello TomBrooklyn, 2 Cor 3:15 But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart; I believe it is because “Christians” have been taught that the Law has been done away with, and we are under grace, ( I guess many think, so that sin may abound). Deuteronomy was the second giving of the Law, and the teaching of clean and unclean animals is included. John 3:4, should clarify this point. The accusation against the priests in Ezek 22:26"Her priests have done violence to My law and have profaned My holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they hide their eyes from My Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Is this being taught in churches? You may never hear this read in a church. I would also maintain that what the Apostles were teaching and instructing the people in the early church was the writings known as the Old Testament, all that is contained in the New Testament was not even in a format for all the people to read until much later, I don’t know how they would have had any converts, teaching contrary to the older writings, (they may have convinced the Thessalonians but their teachings certainly would not have been accepted by the Bereans) for this is what was being read in the churches. Acts 15:21"For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath." But, today most of the people think the New Testament is different in the sense of it’s teachings than the Old Testament. They think that God changes, When 1 Sam 15:29 says, "Also the Glory of Israel will not lie or change His mind; for He is not a man that He should change His mind." Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Peter speaking of Paul, 2 Pet 3:16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. In Acts chapter 10, some say that this teaches that unclean animals are cleansed, when I read it, it says Peter had a vision which he did not understand, Of all sorts of creatures (The text shows that all manner of beasts, that would include clean animals and unclean animals), to which Peter replied in Acts 10:14 But Peter said, "By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean." In this vision the Lord spoke to Peter about the men He was sending, Acts 10:17 Now while Peter was greatly perplexed in mind as to what the vision which he had seen might be, behold, the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having asked directions for Simon's house, appeared at the gate; The Lord told him not to have any misgivings about going with them; Peter considered these men to be unclean, because they had in former times been rejected by God, they were not His people, therefore unclean. Hosea chapter 1 Acts 10:28 And he said to them, "You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a man who is a Jew to associate with a foreigner or to visit him; and yet God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean. I think it says “any man”. How have unclean animals been cleansed? Is this what Jesus died for, that we might eat swines flesh? I doubt it! These are some of the reasons I believe some Christians don’t follow the law as it is given, and that they have been taught not to. Even those that study this subject refuse to harmonize the scriptures, But hold the New Testament scriptures up in an effort to mute the Law. Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. Good day to you, wordoer |

76 | Why should I study the old testement? | 1 Cor 10:11 | wordoer | 50343 | ||
Hello bluestar, Every time the New Testament says about things that are "written", It is refering to the Old Testament, these were the only writings they had at that time. The New Testament was not assembled until a later time in history, well after Jesus' days on the earth. Since our God doesn't change, Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. And the things written were about Him. Luke 24:44 Now He said to them, "These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled." We do well to study The Old Testament for understanding. Some don't, and as a result twist the scriptures to have other meaning,as Peter spoke of Paul's writings in 2 Pet 3:16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. Acts 24:14 "But this I admit to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect I do serve the God of our fathers, believing everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets; Luke 24:27 Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures. I was looking for a scripture in the New Testament that said something like - except they look to the law and the prophets there is no light in them- I may be wrong , I can't find it right now ? maybe someone else knows what I am refering to. Also when you see small capital letters in the New Testament, It is quoting from the OT, A reference Bible will direct you to that OT scripture, so you can go back and read and have a greater understanding of what is being said in the NT. I pray that this helps you, wordoer |

Tithe first, Trust God , He can make that 10 percent do more than the 90 percent you will have left. He says to test Him in this. Try it, it works. It all belongs to Him anyway. Don't be a God robber. Mal 3:10 "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows. If you can't find it in the New Testament , it has probably been covered sufficiently in the Old Testament. wordoer |

Hello txsweet pea, This was the only scripture I could find related to your question. Deut 24:5 "When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out with the army nor be charged with any duty; he shall be free at home one year and shall give happiness to his wife whom he has taken. This sounds to me like a honeymoon. However, there may be a translation out there that might seem to suggest living with family, according to this translation the man and his newly-wed wife would be living at "home". wordoer |

80 | do u tithe on unemployment checks | 1 Tim 1:8 | wordoer | 220606 | ||
Hello unbrown, Yes, you are to tithe of your increase. Mal 3:10 "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows. The tithe consists of ten percent of your increase, if you earn 100, you tithe 10. If you are being stolen from before (via tax), you give 10 percent of what your increase is. An example is if you end up with 65 denari, you tithe 6.5 denari. wordoer |
