61 | Jesus/Joseph/Jacob?or Jesus/Joseph/Heli? | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 36022 | ||
Hello, What is so hard to accept? Matthew traces Jesus' lineage through Joseph, while Luke traces the lineage through Mary. BGG is correct as to why they both use Joseph's name. Women didn't have any authority in society. In fact, Women were viewed as little more than property. That's why in legal matters, such as lineage, the Husband was the focus. This was true for both Jews and Gentiles alike. As for Matthew addressing the Jews, this is quite true. His Gospel is directly geared for the Jew to read. He sites many prophecies, customs, and places that only a Jew would understand. However, when you read Dr. Luke's account, he begins with an address to the gentile reader who hired him. As a result, Dr. Luke wrote his gospel for the Gentile. He uses events and people from gentile and secular history to corroborate his gospel. When he does refer to a Jewish custom, he usually refers to those that every person familiar with Israel would know, such as passover, or he gives a brief explaination. The purpose for Jesus' lineage being shown to us is extremely important. Why? Because one of the Main prophetic aspects of the Messiah was that he was to be from the line of David, and hier to the throne. Matthew points out the Legal line to the throne from Joseph, Jesus' adopted father, to Solomon the Son of David. However, the line was taken away from the Line of Solomon due to the actions of Solomon's decendant Jeconiah or Jehoachin as he was also known. So, we turn to Dr. Luke's account. Here the line goes through Nathan, Solomon's Brother. Dr. Luke uses Joseph as the Connection instead of Mary, but the line is Mary's. That's why Dr. Luke says "son of" instead of "was born" like Matthew. After all, Joseph was the son of Heli, through marriage. It was a common practice in those days. There's nothing to be confused about. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

62 | Why can God kill when he tells us not to | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 36024 | ||
Hello, First off, there is a slight difference in meaning in the Commandment: Do not Kill. The actual implied meaning is in references to Murder. Secondly, we do not possess God's perfect judgement. God is capable of passing whatever sentance he so chooses on those who disobey him. The punishment he has decreed is Death. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

63 | Who can refute reasoning? | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 37064 | ||
Wisdom and Faith maybe more powerful than reason, they are also powerless without reason. Reason is man's ability to think, experience, react, and believe. Wisdom and Faith are reliant upon what reason brings us. Jesusman |

64 | Who can refute reasoning? | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 37065 | ||
We, as Christians, may be free from the consequences of the Law, namely death, but we are still bound to obey it's statutes. The Law has never been revoked. It is still in effect for all of mankind. The difference now is that the Law has been completed through the work of Jesus Christ. Jesusman |

65 | what does 666 and 777 mean | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 37067 | ||
777 is often in reference to God. 666 is in reference to the antichrist. People have theorized for centuries as to what it means. There have been theories ranging from a date to shoe sizes and beyond. I like what my dad theorized it meant. He took the reading from the Bible as it actually reads in the greek, and wrote it down. This is the final number he got: 600-60-0006. Look familiar? It's possibly a social security number, according to my dad that is. Jesusman |

66 | Rev14:1-5 | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 37843 | ||
Hello, Look at the passage in Revelation 7:4-8. It reveals that there will be 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes. Thus totalling to 144,000. This number applies to only Isreal, not the Gentile nations. The total of those who will be in heaven is given in Revelation 7:9. It is a group so large that no one could count them. Jesusman |

67 | I HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING THE SABBATH | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 39915 | ||
Hello, Before I begin, I'd like to say, "STOP SHOUTING!" Typing in all caps means that you are shouting. It's annoying. Now, on to the question at hand. How do we know that the Sabbath was originally a Saturday? Mostly due to tradition. Until someone invents the time machine and goes back to the Creation, we must assume that the 7th day was a Saturday. Jesusman |

68 | The letter "J" didn't exist until 500ad | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 39916 | ||
Hello, I can answer this question. In the Hebrew, the closest equivilent is the "yod" or "y" sound. That's why most of the transliterations of Hebrew use "y". When translating into greek, The "yod" was replaced with the Greek "Iota" or "I". When the Bible was translated into Latin, they used the Latin "I" as well. When Luther came along and translated the Bible into German, he used the German "J" instead. When the bible was translated into English, they used the German usage of "J" istead of "I" or "Y". Another little change used by Luther was using the German "V" in place of the Hebrew, greek, Latin "W". That's how you get from the Hebrew "YHWH" to the English "Jehovah". Jesusman |

As I said earlier, unless someone invents a time machine, we'll never know for sure. All we can do now is either rely on tradition or to guess. Other than that, I am not aware of any resources that could help. Jesusman |

70 | Was Satan on earth before Adam | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 40057 | ||
Actually, no one really knows who wrote Job. It's unlikely that it was written by Moses because it is dated to have been written during the Time between Noah and Abraham. The author is possibly Job himself. Jesusman |

Hello Charis, To add to your point, Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:10 says that "when that which is perfect has come that which partial shall be done away." If this is in reference to his comments in 13:8, then the questions must be asked, "Has the 'perfect' come?" and "What is 'perfect'?" While the Bible maybe considered perfect by many, I doubt that is what Paul is referring to. The only one which is identified as perfect is Jesus. Especially considering that Paul has been speaking about being members of Christ's body for about two to three chapters prior to this verse, and continues to speak about Christ until the end of the epistle of 1 Corinthians. Our relationship to Christ is the whole focus behind the last six chapters of 1 corinthians. Why change that for one small verse, speak about the Bible's completion, and return back to talking about Christ's body? It doesn't fit. What does fit is that the spiritual gifts will still be in use when the Church is reunited with the Savior, hence that which is perfect. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

Hello, The Code of Hammurabi dates back to around 2000 BC, nearly 500 years prior to Moses. The Code of Hammurabi is a large stone monument with laws written on it. This was found in what was then, Babylon, in 1902. The finding of this code proves that not only was there a system of writing prior to Moses, but that there was formed laws and governments also. Thus proving that Moses could have written the Pentateuch. On top of that, you have egyptian history to confirm that Egypt had a detailed grammer and law set up during the Time of Moses, which he would've benefited from. Also, The place where Abraham traveled is Mesopotamia. The place where the first forms of writing developed, as well as math and science was born. Also, animal skins were used to write on for many centuries. It is reasonable that Abraham had a copy of the book of Job in written form, and passed it down until it eventually reached Moses. The technology and ability would have been well within Abraham's reach. On top of that, the JEDP idea doesn't hold water anyway. The Pentateuch was written over a period of 40plus years. It is a known fact that a person's writing style (grammer, vocabulary, posture, and so on) changes over time. I do not write the same way now, as I did when I was 8. Do you? The differences in termanology can easily be explained by this. Also, there is the differences in meaning. YHWH has a different meaning than ELOHIM. Such differences are important within the context in which they are used. As a final note, I have studied this topic at length. This very subject was my major in college. My master's and doctorite will also be in this field, Lord Willing. So please, Don't patronize me. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

Hello, The first question I must ask is, "Do you know more than Moses or Jesus?" Jesus confirmed the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch. Also, As I have pointed out, the existance of the Code of Hammurabi, found in 1902, proves that not only was there a law and form of writing prior to Moses, but that Moses could've written the Pentateuch. The JEDP idea is based upon the belief that written text didn't come about until several centuries after Moses, and that such a detailed Law was developed over many centuries. The Code of Hammurabi disproves both of the presuppositions that JEDP is based upon. Also, as I have pointed out, A person's writing style changes over time. Moses just didn't sit down at his laptop, and type out the Pentateuch in a couple weeks. It took him over 40 years to write it. 40 years is a long time. A person's writing style will change, as will his vocabulary, and grammer. On top of that, there is the differences between the terms YHWH and Elohim, the two terms that JEDP involves. YHWH is the personal name for God, and impies a meaning of presence. Elohim is more generic, and implies a meaning of unity and strength. It is also plural, while YHWH is singular. Such differences are pertainent to the context in which they are used. Sorry, but the developers of the JEDP idea are wrong, and have been wrong for nearly a century. As for the bit about being patronized, as I said, my degree is in this subject. I have several books on this subject, research papers from college, as well as photocopied material from research texts from the library. Just because you found some information on the internet doesn't mean squat. Try researching that information, and analyze it next to modern archeology. You will find that the JEDP idea is a dead and ancient philosophy with no bearing in reality. Liberal theology is the reason why many of these cooky ideas get developed in the first place. Instead of looking at the Scriptures at face value, many liberals will disavow miracles because they cannot be proven through science (which I have yet to understand), disavow the authorship of the biblical texts for some unknown reason, and attempt to find an explaination that fits their own perverted desires. I have never understood where the idea came from to not believe the miracles took place because they couldn't be proven by science. The very definition of "Miracle" is that it is an event which is "supernatural" or beyond nature. Science is the study of the natural. By their very definitions science and Miracles are incompatable. As a result, The liberals are the ones who came up with the swoon theory for the resurrection, the crazy notion that Jesus passed out on the cross, and the damp air of the tomb awakened him. It was the liberals who came up with the idea that instead of walking on the water, Jesus actually stepped on stones that where just below the surface of the water. These are only two of the thousands of silly explainations that the liberal theologins have developed. Jesusman |

Hello, You commented that I shouldn't tell you what others are saying if I can't help a person. Actually, I was trying to help. The issue about the mosaic authorship was brought up. I provided information and materials that supported the Mosaic authorship and refuted the JEDP idea. In a following post, I provided by what authority I have to make such claims about the Mosaic Authorship. To sum it up, My training in College is in this field. My master's degree will be in this field. I have devoted my life to not only understanding what the Bible teaches, but how we got the Bible. Now, my comments about feeling as though I was being Patronized were brought about because of your recommendation that all I had to do was to go to an online search engine and type in the words. Sorry, but there is much more to it than that. Also, not all of the online content can be trusted. Some can, but not all. I learned that the hard way. Also, I don't know where you get the idea that I was calling people names. I was stating fact, that is all. If you don't realize that, than it's not my problem. Also, you commented that there was no need to get mad or be hostile. My question in return is this, "Why did you get Hostile then?" Jesusman |
