Thank You, Beja. I agree with you and I will search further in the link you sent me. I brought up the link and so far it looks quite good. This is a coincidence, you say? I prefer to think of it as a God-incidence ((((o: Lord bless, son |

63 | Is God capable of sarcasm, are people 1? | Gen 3:22 | sonofmom | 223971 | ||
Thank you Beja, Good point. Very good verse as prooftext, and what do you make of the verse in Genesis, 11:6? Is this sarcasm, are people one, is this God ridiculing, or being sarcastic, or do you think it is something else? |

64 | Is God capable of sarcasm, are people 1? | Gen 3:22 | sonofmom | 223966 | ||
Thank you lionheart. You say there is nothing sarcastic here, in Gen 11:6, that is, OK I can see the LORD saying, Behold, the people are one, well, maybe superficially. and they have all one language, which was true, for a time. The Lord continues, "and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." Maybe sarcasm was a bad choice of words, Ridicule seems to be more fitting. This is the part that I am trying to understand, without going down too many rabbit trails in other Books, do you think that these words can be applied to the church today, as God's people being one? And do you think that God was serious about calling these people as being one in that cultural-historical context? Thank you, son |

This verse in Gen 11:6 seems to be sarcasm, as God is using it to ridicule those who are constructing the Tower of Babel. Can the verse be applied to people today, as in God's people being one? I do not see much evidence of this. So the verse must be interpreted in context. In the prior chapter, Noah's sons are listed and they are divided, but in the first verse of ch 11 it says they were all of one language. So then in vs 8, when the Lord scatters them and they leave to go buid the city, is this the same city which is mentioned in vs 4? Is God even capable of sarcasm? It seems so, fo in Gen 3:22, God uses it to ridicule again, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil... Sorry so many questions, but they are all related to verse 6 |

69 | can a person be born evil | Ps 51:5 | sonofmom | 223141 | ||
Hello poorbobbie, Not only CAN we be born evil, we are taught by Scripture that we ARE born evil. Romans 5:12 relates to us, "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. So we have an inherited sin nature, this I'm sure you know. If I may elaborate, we do not have a sin nature because we sin, but we do sin because we have a sin nature. In other words, look at a horse thief. He does not become a horse thief once he steals a horse, but he steals a horse because he is a horse thief. There is no way anybody can steal a horse if they are not a horse thief, and: There is no way we can sin if we do not have a sin nature within ourselves, (which we do have). As it is written (cf Rom 3:10), There is none righteous, no, not one This is the reason why Father God sent His only begotten Son to suffer and die. There is no other reason why a father would want to see his own son tortured to death, but for the greater good of us all. |

70 | did Romans crucify thieves | Matt 27:38 | sonofmom | 222453 | ||
Thanks Brad, I had someone telling me that historically Romans did not crucify for the crime of thievery, and I was just wondering if there was any truth to his banter. Blessings son |

73 | Did Barabbas have a first (given) name? | NT general | sonofmom | 222394 | ||
In early history, there was not the idea of last names as we know today. Barabbas was the name given to this person, but it is easily broken down. Bar means simply, son, or son of. See Mark 10:46 where it says, "And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging." Jesus also mentions, 'Simon Barjona' in Mat 16:17 So, since abba means father, (Strongs #G5), Barabbas would mean Son of Father. It is quite indicative of the wickedness in the hearts of the crowd when they were given the choice to either release Jesus, who committed no crime, or to release Barabbas, "And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas" Meaning, release to us son of father, who was a worldly substitute in lieu of releasing the real Son of the real Father |

74 | widows rights | 1 Tim 5:3 | sonofmom | 222164 | ||
Hi Diomede, Yes you are right in your assumption that God was concerned about these widows being looked after. Also God wants no one to be taken advantage of, and much less does He want His people to take advantage of others Now. Was that necessary? We must analyze the cultural recognition that women typically beheld during that historical period. Women were most often treated as second class citizens as to the point of their word was no good in the court of law, without the testimony of two witnesses to reinforce it. This would have been a very difficult climate in which to succeed in a private business venture, much unlike the 'glass ceiling' that is being purported today. |

76 | Is any of this true? | 1 Thess 4:1 | sonofmom | 222092 | ||
Greetings, Curious What is more important than Where to Read about the answer, is where will you be when the question is finally answered ?? Your question IS old news to be sure, as the question has been asked many times since the first century, and after reading Pastor Beja's fine answer, we can tell that the answer has not yet been discovered. This is God's plan: that no one will know the day or the hour. (Matt 25:13) There is much small talk around bar-b-ques and campfires about end times, and when you line up their answers with what God's Word says, they are all proven false. Let me use the recent interest in the year 2012 for example. There is nothing special about the Mayan culture that would give them any insight far into the future, they were very good observers of astronomy and developed a good calendar. They just happened to stop the calendar at 2012. So, do ot be deceived along with the many who will be deceived in the end times. An increase in false messiahs, an increase in warfare, and increases in famines, plagues, and natural disasters—these are all signs of the end times. (Matt 24:5-8) When people are saying, "All is well; everything is peaceful and secure," then disaster will fall upon them as suddenly as a woman's birth pains begin when her child is about to be born. And there will be no escape. (1 Thes 5:3) So the present earthquakes and volcanoes are a sign of the second coming of Christ. But as the Scriptures say, these will increase until He comes. Whoever has children knows that the labor pains of a woman increase in intensity and in frequency until the child is born, and there is only one thing that will end the cycle: The child is born. Jesus tells us in (Matt 24:24), "For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great miraculous signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God's chosen ones." So you are correct in your decision to seek God's Word for an answer. Pray before you read His Word, and He will be the one to guide. There are many heretics out there so we must all remain aware. May the Lord bless you as you seek Him |

77 | What form will we take in heaven? | Bible general Archive 4 | sonofmom | 222038 | ||
Hello, His Student, May the following verses edify you. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. I John 3:2 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took [it], and did eat before them. Luke 24:41-43 Jesus saith unto them, Come [and] dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. John 21:12-13 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Rom. 8:18 [There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory. So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit. Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven. As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. I Cor. 15:41, 49 For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 Cor 5:1 |

3 verses for further edification: And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, [said he], hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house. Gen 41:51 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. Gen 41:52 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him. Gen 46:20 |

79 | WHo was the sons of Joseph | Gen 48:1 | sonofmom | 221934 | ||
Hello, cherrylover, Welcome. I think the first verse of Genesis 48 should answer your question: And it came to pass after these things, that [one] told Joseph, Behold, thy father [is] sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. |

80 | ADULTRY VS BIGAMY #3 | Ex 21:10 | sonofmom | 221931 | ||
In marrying more than one woman, Solomon was going against God’s revealed will regarding monogamy From the very beginning God created one woman for one man (see Genesis 1:27; 2:21-25). Deuteronomy 17:17 explicitly instructed the king not to “multiply wives.” |
