61 | Were Noah's sons triplets | Genesis | Morant61 | 236110 | ||
Greetings hay4jc! Scripture does not say either way, but the assumption is usually that Shem was the eldest of the three. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

62 | Fully human/fully God? | NT general | Morant61 | 236108 | ||
Greetings Thomas! The best passage is found in Phil. 2:5-11: Php 2:5-11 Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: (6) who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, (7) but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; (8) and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross. (9) Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name; (10) that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, (11) and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Another great verse is Col. 2:9: Col 2:8 Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ: I hope these help!

63 | Was Christ celibate? Scripture? | NT general | Morant61 | 236106 | ||
Greetings Thomas! There is no specific Scripture that states either way concerning whether Jesus was celibate or not. However, it is never specifically recorded that Jesus was married, and history supports that He was single. Thus, He must have been celibate since sex outside of marriage is sin, and we know from Scripture that He was without sin. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

64 | Does not "yapeh" mean "beauty?" | Eccl 3:11 | Morant61 | 236098 | ||
Greetings! The Hebrew adjective can also mean 'to fit beautifully'. I think this is where the NASB gets the idea of 'appropriate'. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

65 | also same book what do the seven spirits | Dan 7:24 | Morant61 | 236096 | ||
Greetings Steve! Excellent observation. I would add to it that not only Daniel is key to understanding Revelation, but a working knowledge of the Old Testament in general. Revelation contains many allusions to Old Testament events, passages, and teachings. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

66 | who was adams first son | Gen 4:1 | Morant61 | 236065 | ||
Greetings Escar! I am familiar with the theory that Cain was Satan's son. However, to believe this theory one must completely reject what Scripture actually says. For instance, Gen. 4:1 says, "Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, "With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man."" If we conveniently ignore what this verse says, then we can believe whatever we want about Cain. Hank Hanegraaff deals with this particular false teaching in one section of the following article: http://www.equip.org/articles/arnold-murray-and-the-shepherds-chapel/ Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings! If you enter the word 'power' in the search box to the right of your screen, it will tell you how many times it is used. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

71 | Did Benjamin have sons before Egypt? | Gen 46:21 | Morant61 | 234690 | ||
Greetings Jbaumberger! Gen. 46:21 actually lists 10 sons of Benjamin. According to the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia Joseph was about 40 when Jacob came to Egypt. Benjamin was only a little younger than Joseph. So, if we assume he was about 38 and started having kids in his teens, he could have easily had 10 sons. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

72 | Guarding a True Interpretation | Acts 15:23 | Morant61 | 234662 | ||
Greetings Doc! Great quote! I tell our people all the time that one of the surest marks of a false teacher is when someone claims to know something that no one else has ever know, or when someone claims that everyone else is wrong and he is right. The community of faith knows better than any one individual. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

73 | jevohah witness don't believe in cross | Bible general Archive 4 | Morant61 | 234658 | ||
Greetings 1916again! You are correct that the shape of the original crosses was not as we think of them now. They could have been simply a stake, or the shape of a 'T' or even in the shape of an 'X'. Here is what Albert Barnes says about Mt. 27:32: "The cross was composed of two pieces of wood, one of which was placed upright in the earth, and the other crossed it after the form of the figure of a cross. The upright part was commonly so high that the feet of the person crucified were 2 or 3 feet from the ground. On the middle of that upright part there was usually a projection or seat on which the person crucified sat, or, as it were, “rode.” This was necessary, as the hands were not alone strong enough to bear the weight of the body; as the body was left exposed often many days, and not unfrequently suffered to remain till the flesh had been devoured by vultures or putrefied in the sun. The feet were fastened to this upright piece either by nailing them with large spikes driven through the tender part, or by being lashed by cords. To the cross-piece at the top, the hands, being extended, were also fastened, either by spikes or by cords, or perhaps, in some cases, by both. The hands and feet of our Saviour were both fastened by spikes. Crosses were also sometimes made in the form of the letter X, the limbs of the person crucified being extended to the four parts, and he suffered to die a lingering death in this cruel manner. The cross used in the Crucifixion of Christ appears to have been the former. The mention of the cross often occurs in the New Testament. It was the instrument on which the Saviour made atonement for the sins of the world." The important thing is not the shape of the cross, but the fact that Jesus died for our sins upon it.

74 | Man before the Bible. | Gen 12:10 | Morant61 | 234639 | ||
Greetings Tim! I hope I don't sound rude my friend, but way is it that individuals who have no language training at all keep coming on the forum and telling everyone that 'all' of the experts are wrong when they translated one language into another? Strong's concordance is a tremendous resource, but one cannot 'translate' simply by using Strong's. It is dangerous when people start thinking they know better than the people who have actually studies Hebrew and Greek. By the way, in the LXX, the Jews (who were very familiar with Hebrew) translated Gen. 1:5 as, "And God called the light day and the darkness He called night and the evening and morning became the first day."

75 | Interpret John 8:24 | John 8:24 | Morant61 | 234633 | ||
Greetings Andy or Servetus! While I wait for you to clear upon your real identity, let me try one more time to make my position clear for you. I believe in the Trinity, and I believe that Jesus is Jehovah. The question is, 'How much of this does a person 'believe and/or understand' at the time they first respond to the offer of salvation'? You make it sound like someone must be able to write a dissertation on the doctrine of the Trinity in order to accept the offer of salvation. That is what I am disagreeing with your pastor on. Someone must have some understanding of Who Christ is, but they are not going be able to describe the nature of Christ in terms of the Hypostatic Union. As they grow in their faith, their understanding of Who Jesus is will grow and mature as well. So, I am denying that there is some sort of Trinity check list that must be meet in order to accept Christ. To me, this is a very clear statement. Our understanding and/or belief starts low and grows high. Tim |

77 | Interpret John 8:24 | John 8:24 | Morant61 | 234615 | ||
Greetings Servetus Perhaps the best way to explain what I mean is that our belief is based upon our partial understanding. It is not that we believe partially, it is that we only understand partialy. |

78 | die in your sins | John 8:24 | Morant61 | 234580 | ||
Greetings Ed! I will need to address some basic grammar in order to answer your question. :-) In John 8:24, Jesus says, "I am" or in Greek 'Ego Eimi'. 'Ego' is a singular, masculine, first person, personal pronoun, or 'I'. 'Eimi' is the Present, Active, Indicative, 1st person, singular of 'to be', or 'I am'. 'Eimi' normally has a predicate to complete that thought of the verb. For instance, I could say, 'I am a pastor'. This is what Jesus does in John 8:23. He says of Himself, "I am from above", and "I am not of this world". These are very normal uses of the verb 'to be'. John 8:24 is different. There is no predicate. Just the fact that there is no predicate does not necessarily mean that Jesus is claiming to be God. It is the contextual evidence that indicates this is the case. 1) No predicate is unusual. Why? 2) John 8:58 definitely adds to the case. 3) The reaction of the Jews is quite surprising. Added all together, many believe that John 8:24 and 8:58 are purposeful allusions to the Divine name of Ex. 3:14. However, as you noted, the Deity of Christ does not stand or fall on this one verse. John 1 makes the argument much more strongly than does John 8. But, John 8 is part of the evidence for His Deity. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

79 | Interpret John 8:24 | John 8:24 | Morant61 | 234579 | ||
Greetings Andy! I think you are making too much of the supposed difference between 'understand' and 'believe'. Can someone really 'believe' that Jesus is "co-equal, co-eternal and con-substantial (one being) with the person of Jehovah" without having some understanding of what that means? If you would rather substitute 'believe' for 'understand' in my answer, feel free. But, it doesn't change the meaning of my answer. You may not agree with my answer, but no matter how many ways you ask the question, my answer is going to stay the same. :-) Now, in a conversation, there has to be two way communication. Is it really fair that you keep asking for my views of these verses, yet will not share what your views are on this topic. As I see it, there are only three possibilities. 1) You accept the orthodox doctrines of the Trinity and the Deity of Christ, but just don't see them in John 8:24. 2) You accept the Deity of Christ, but reject the Trinity. But, if this were the case, I don't see why you would have such an issue with John 8:24. 3) You reject both the Deity of Christ and the Trinity. If I had to guess, and I do since you won't tell us what you believe, I would say the third option is the correct one. You seem to be trying to get an answer that you want about John 8:24. I'm guessing that you think that if you get that answer, you can then 'disprove' the Deity of Christ. However, neither doctrine stands or falls upon this one verse. Even if John 8:24 is not an allusion to Ex. 3:14, there is plenty of Scripture that demonstrates Jesus is Jehovah. So, please, let's have a real conversation! Tell us what it is you really believe. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Servetus! As far as I know, there is no other verse that is stated quite the same way as John 8:24. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
