62 | So she should only be eating fruit? | Gen 2:16 | terrib | 152319 | ||
Greetings Songbirdca, It must be remembered that in the first days of this new creation herbs and trees were plentiful. Animals were only beginning to multiply and be fruitful. If Adam started eating meat at the first he would destroy and make extinct certain species; and as God had plans for the survival of man so He must also make plans for the survival of the animals. Remember that these were of the first days of creation and as such we must look at these things in that light. Did God give the giant whale teeth to eat with or does it strain plankton and brine shrimp? Did He give the eagle the hooked beak and strong talons to hold onto grain only? Or did God know that these things, over time, would be needed for survival? Just as He knew that in time man would eat meat: (Genesis 9:3 NASB) "Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant. (Genesis 9:4 NASB) "Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. It is ominous for us to say what God's intentions were. In reading Job 38-41 God expresses Himself to man. And in the end we must replay with: (Job 42:1 NASB) Then Job answered the LORD and said, (Job 42:2 NASB) "I know that You can do all things, And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. (Job 42:3 NASB) 'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' "Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know." (Job 42:4 NASB) 'Hear, now, and I will speak; I will ask You, and You instruct me.' (Job 42:5 NASB) "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You; (Job 42:6 NASB) Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes." And let us not forget: (1 Timothy 4:1 KJV) Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; (1 Timothy 4:2 KJV) Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; (1 Timothy 4:3 KJV) Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. (1 Timothy 4:4 KJV) For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: (1 Timothy 4:5 KJV) For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.(ref. Gen 9:3) In love, terrib |

Hello Diomede, Two verses come to mind: (Romans 1:19 NASB) because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. (Hebrews 10:16 KJV) This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; (see Jer 31:33-34) terrib |

64 | Matthew's genealogy of Josef, not Jesus | Matthew | terrib | 152246 | ||
Hi Olivier456, To expand on Tim's answer, consider this: The Generations of Jesus: The legal: Joseph The Gospel of Matthew was written by Matthew (also called Levi [Mar 2:14]) a Jew. The Seed line: Mary The Gospel of Luke was written by Luke the physican (a Greek and a Gentile). Paul does not count him among the circumsion (Col 4:14). The parent stock of the whole human family, thus showing Jesus to be the promised “Seed of the woman" and the promised seed of Abraham. (Genesis 3:15 KJV) And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.[note: "her seed"] And the promise of the "seed of Abraham": (Galatians 3:16 KJV) Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. [note: "thy seed"](Ref. Gen 22:18) Therefore the lineage of Joseph AND Mary both came through Abraham which came through Adam and satisfing the promises. Thus proving that Jesus was of the stock and "promise" to Abraham, legally (Joseph) and physically (Mary). Hope this helps, terrib |

65 | Who is speaking? | Dan 10:13 | terrib | 151979 | ||
Hi Kalos, I didn't look at previous chapters since the vision started in chap 10. From the description of the angel I almost thought it was the Son of God speaking because it is about the same as that in Revelations. But then the phrase "came to help me", then I thought, why would the Son need help. Thanks, terrib |

70 | Who are the spirits in 1 Peter 3 v 19? | 1 Pet 3:19 | terrib | 151956 | ||
Hi Searcher, Thanks for replying, this can be a sticking point, but let's see if we can figure this out. Genesis is a treatment of the generation of all things, of the heavens, and the earth, and all that are in them, and of the genealogy of men: it treats of the first men, of the patriarchs before the flood, and after it to the times of Joseph. It is in a chronological format. The Lord is not speaking to Noah in 6:3 but to Himself (or and) to the Heavenly Host. (Genesis 6:3 KJV) And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. (Genesis 6:4 KJV) There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. "in those days"(v4), what days, the days the Lord said these things. "also after that"(v4), "and they bare children to them", there is a time span here. (Genesis 6:5 KJV) And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. God saw the wickedness of these children, these men. And it was getting worse. And God said: (Genesis 6:7 KJV) And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. Now, after all this, enters Noah on the stage being 500 years old. The children in verse 4 had to have time to grow up to become the mighty men from the time of the Lord's proclamation. By context this had to have happened before Noah was 500 years old. You said "which is man's lifespan, which took in effect with Nahor (11:25)." These are contrary to your statement: Nahor: 29 years (11:24) plus 119 years (11:25) equals 148 years. (Genesis 11:25 KJV) And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters. Terah, Nahor's son: 205 years (Genesis 11:32 KJV) And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran. Abraham lived 175 years (Genesis 25:7 KJV) And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. Isaac lived 180 years (Genesis 35:28 KJV) And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years. So your premise is not correct. John Gill's Exposition on the Entire Bible: "yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years: meaning not the term of man's life, reduced to this from the length of time he lived before the flood; but this designs the space that God would give for repentance, before he proceeded to execute his vengeance on him; this is that "longsuffering of God" the apostle speaks of in the afore mentioned place, "that waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was preparing"; and so both the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan interpret it of a space of an hundred and twenty years given them to repent: now whereas it was but an hundred years from the birth of Japheth to the flood, some think the space was shortened twenty years, because of their impenitence; but it is more probable what Jarchi observes, that this decree was made and given out twenty years before his birth, though here related, by a figure called "hysteron proteron", frequent in the Scriptures." Albert Barnes' Note on the Bible: "His days shall be an hundred and twenty years. - “His days” are the days of man, not the individual, but the race, with whom the Lord still strives. Hence, they refer to the duration, not of the life of an individual, but of the existence of the race. From this we learn that the narrative here reverts to a point of time before the birth of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, recorded in the close of the preceding passage as there were only a hundred years from their birth to the deluge. This is according to the now well-known method of Scripture, when it has two lines of events to carry on. The former narrative refers to the godly portion of mankind; this to the ungodly remnant. Not forever will the Lord strive with man; but his longsuffering will still continue for one hundred and twenty years. Meanwhile he does not leave himself or his clemency without a witness. He sent Noah with the message of warning, who preached by his voice, by his walking with God, and also by his long labor and perseverance in the building of the ark. The doomed race, however, filled up the measure of their iniquity, and when the set number of years was accomplished, the overwhelming flood came." Matthew Henry, John Wesley and more studious men agree. Peace to you, terrib |

74 | So what is your answer, yes or no. | Rom 2:14 | terrib | 151926 | ||
Greetings Otis, Putting it in the small context of your question, "does that person go to hell for not accepting Jesus?" Jesus said, You must be born again. He was talking to those in range to hear Him. In your senario, they are out of range to hear Him, not even a Bible or book or radio or missionary. How can one accept Jesus if he does not hear or even know He exists? Is God unjust to punish for that? And though some may not hear, does not God's own creation loudly proclaim Him? So, it will be according to what is in their heart and what is put against their account and only God knows that. You can be sure of one thing, God is just and He will do right. And this is the call, find that lost sheep. terrib |

75 | Does a person who never hears about Jesu | Rom 2:14 | terrib | 151921 | ||
Greetings Otis and welcome to the forum, (Romans 2:14-16 KJV) For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. The English Standard Version may state this clearer. (Romans 2:14-16 ESV) For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus. From the garden came the knowledge of good and evil, thus a law in itself. You could do what you knew to be good or not, but all things will be revealed in the last day, whether to justification or to destruction. (Luke 12:2 KJV) For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. terrib |

Greetings Diomede, (1 Peter 3:19 KJV) By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; "By which" - Spirit, his own Divine energy and authority. "He went and preached" - By the ministry of Noah, one hundred and twenty years. "Unto the spirits in prison" - The inhabitants of the antediluvian world, who, having been disobedient, and convicted of the most flagrant transgressions against God, were sentenced by his just law to destruction. But their punishment was delayed to see if they would repent; and the long-suffering of God waited one hundred and twenty years, which were granted to them for this purpose; during which time, as criminals tried and convicted, they are represented as being in prison - detained under the arrest of Divine justice, which waited either for their repentance or the expiration of the respite, that the punishment pronounced might be inflicted. (Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible) (Genesis 6:3 KJV) And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. Noah, a preacher: (2 Peter 2:5 KJV) And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; Hope this helps, terrib |

78 | Can judgement happen before sin? | 1 Tim 5:24 | terrib | 151908 | ||
Hi Born Twice, It's about Timothy and his office of steward of the church. Albert Barnes: The apostle had given Timothy a charge 1Ti 5:22 respecting the character of those whom he should ordain. He here says, in reference to that, that the character of some people was manifest. There was no disguise. It was evident to all what it was, and there could be no danger of mistake respecting it. Their conduct was apparent to all. About such people he ought not to hesitate a moment, and, no matter what their talents, or learning, or rank in the community, he ought to have no participation in introducing them to the ministry. Going before to judgment - Their character is well understood. There is no need of waiting for the day of judgment to know what they are. Their deeds so precede their own appearance at the judgment-bar, that the record and the verdict can be made up before they arrive there, and there will be scarcely need even of the formality of a trial. The meaning here is, that there could be no doubt about the character of such people, and Timothy should not be accessory to their being introduced into the office of the ministry. "And some men they follow after" - That is, their character is not fully understood here. They conceal their plans. They practice deception. They appear different from what they really are. But the character of such people will be developed, and they will be judged according to their works. They cannot hope to escape with impunity. Though they have endeavored to hide their evil deeds, yet they will follow after them to the judgment-bar, and will meet them there. The meaning, in this connection, seems to be, that there ought to be circumspection in judging of the qualifications of men for the office of the ministry. verse 25 continues. Hope this helps, terrib |

80 | sexuality | Matt 4:7 | terrib | 151891 | ||
Hi jtvd, Maybe you could explain what "kissing romanticly" means to you? Does this include arousal or using other parts of the mouth besides the lips? (James 1:14 KJV) But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. (James 1:15 KJV) Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. When do you know that it is time to stop "making out"? And at that time, can you stop? When does the partner become aroused? Can you tell? Is she or he starting on the path of lust? Just when does this take place? Do not put a stumbling stone in front of your brother. terrib |
