81 | Were Pharoahs in Egypt during Jesus time | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76733 | ||
Dear Songbirdca, No. Cleopatra was a contemporary of Herod the Great who had all the young babies killed when Jesus was born. Cleopatra and Antony died before Jesus was born and she was the last pharaoh to my knowledge. I learned this from an archaeological history book which says that Herod the Great wrote a letter which is in a museum today, in which he wrote Mark Antony a personal friend of his. In this letter he warned Mark Antony to stay away from Cleopatra...that she would ruin his life. Ha! I thought that was amusing and it blew my mind to think that she was a contemporary of someone who lived up until the early years of Jesus.In any case I believe she was the last pharaoh to sit on the Egyptian throne. I had previously thought of her as from an earlier time than this. Itiswritten. |

83 | Did Jesus pre-exist before his birth? | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76696 | ||
Dear Shadowwhisperer, Yes, Jesus did exist before he was born in the flesh. He is God and was God and ever shall be God. One of the many Scriptures that deals with this issue is John 1:1-3, 14 which states this clearly, I believe. Hope this is of help. Itiswritten. |

84 | Mary the mother of Jesus | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76694 | ||
Dear Peach1000, I believe that the second Mary in this verse, the Mother of James and Joses is Jesus' mother because there are other scriptures that name these two sons as some of the brothers of Jesus. [Mark 6:3, Mark 15:40, 16:1 and Galatians 1:19].Itiswritten. |

85 | are kids saved if their parents are | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76690 | ||
Dear ssv1, Paul in I Cor.7:14 says they are holy and I believe that because the parents are Christians they will be taught to know and love the Lord; but they still will have that free choice when they mature. As someone once said, God has no grandchildren. Salvation is not automatic just because of physical family lines. I believe this is what Jesus was saying in Matthew 3:7-9 and Luke 3:8-9 when He spoke to those Jews who considered themselves heirs of the faith of Abraham because they were Jews by birth and they paid no attention to how they lived their lives or even understood the meaning of faith. Itiswritten. |

86 | Was Abraham a jew? | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76672 | ||
Abraham was not a Jew. He was the father of many nations. abraham was singled out because he believed God. God told him to leave his home [Babylon in the city of Ur] and was directed to the Promised Land which would be given to his descendants. He was given a promised child: Isaac who also begat two sons Esau and Jacob. Jacob received the promise and had 12 sons. His twelve sons received the promise. In a round about way the twelve sons became twelve tribes which eventually went into captivity in Egypt. These sons were Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Napthali,Issachar, Zebulun, Gad, Asher,Joseph and Benjamin. Because of things that were done by Reuben [the first born], [Simeon and Levi] the second and third born, they were eliminated from the special promise that Messiah would come from their family line and tribe. This brings us to the tribe of Judah. So, the Messiah would come from the specific family line of Judah.."the Lion of Judah". When Moses took them out of Egypt God told him to divide the land of promise by the tribes...and so, when Joshua brought them into the Promised Land, the tribes each took designated territories. The tribe of Judah was given a large part of the southern part of Palestine. Eventually they demanded a king. God first gave them Saul, then David the great King who was of the tribe of Judah. The promise of the Messiah was narrowed down his specific family line. His son, Solomon was given many blessings and was noted for his wisdom but his weakness for women caused him to compromise his comittment to God and after his death the Lord caused a civil war which split the country into two. The north was called Israel and the south was called Judah. Israel went into captivity about 150 years before Judah went into captivity by Babylon and 70 years later returned. Only those taken in the Babylonian captivity returned...these because they came from "Judah" became known as "Jews" after that time. I hope this is helpful.Itiswritten. |

87 | Explain REV. 2AND 3 APPLY TO US TODAY. | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76668 | ||
Dear Denise Todd, I am not "Curt" whom you are referring to but I thought I would do what I can. In Revelation 2 and 3 Jesus gives praise for the good and criticism for that which was not good in His eyes. The same applies to us today. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever [Heb. 13:8]. In each of His letters, He also says that whatever individual corrects the flaws will have promises. This applies for all time for each and everyone who hears and heeds. Itiswritten. |

88 | holy spirit is called He,why? | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76667 | ||
Dear ssonkom, The Holy Spirit is referred to as He because He is not a "force" but a full Personality who has force...He is a Person. According to all orthodox traditional Christian church doctrine He is One of Three Persons of the Godhead which we refer to as the Trinity. Hope this is helpful to you. Itiswritten. |

90 | IS MICHAEL AND JESUS THE SAME PERSON? | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76655 | ||
Dear Art, From what I have heard only the Jehovah's Witnesses teach this. According to the Word of God Michael is an angel, an archangel. He is mighty but he is a created being of God. You will find him mentioned in Daniel 10:13; 12:1; Jude 1:9 and Revelation 12:7. On the other hand, Jesus IS God the Son of God who has existed always though in a moment of time He became one of us also, as we read in the gospel of John 1:1-3, 14. I hope this is of some help to you. Itiswritten. |

91 | Why so many denominations out there? | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76653 | ||
Dear Toddn, You need to read a good Church History book. I recommend highly "Church History in Plain Language" by Bruce L. Shelley published by Nelson. I have read many church history books and often found that many are prejudiced against Catholic or Protestant view points and are very complicated. This was the most even-handed, simple, clear and unbiased book on the subject I have ever read. It comes in paperback and can be purchased very reasonably.I hope you find this helpful. Itiswritten. |

92 | Gen. 3:24 | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76645 | ||
Dear B.Burnette, I do not believe the Garden of Eden exists on the earth today. It was probably destroyed at least by the time of the Great Flood.However, the word of God does not mention it again as far as I know. Itiswritten. |

93 | Does anyone know where this verse is? | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76644 | ||
Dear beth1117n, I believe you have slightly misquoted and that is why you are having trouble finding the scripture. Possibly it is one of these: Exodus 20: 5-6, Numbers 14:18 and/or Deuteronomy 5: 9-10. Hope this helps you. Itiswritten. |

94 | define repentance | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76637 | ||
Dear Ceejay, Billy Graham described repentance the best I have ever heard it described. He put it this way: There are two boats in the river, one is going along with the current, the other is struggling against the current. The river is this life. The world is in the boat that goes with the current, the boat that is struggling against the current represents one who is saved and has repented. Itiswritten. |

95 | scripture for Write it in your doorway? | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76636 | ||
Dear Lizah, There are two places in Deuteronomy where it states that the law should be written on the doorposts. That would be Deut. 6:9 and 11:20. Itiswritten. |

96 | Moses saw God's face and didn't die why | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76030 | ||
Dear Lew, Moses did not see God's face. He saw only God's back parts [Exodus 33:23], though he asked. I do not believe that Noah saw God's face either but he knew God's voice. Possibly Enoch did for he did not die but left this planet abruptly as it will be for those of us who are alive when Jesus returns. [Gen. 5:23-24] Itiswritten. |

97 | Are we to follow the old testament? | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76021 | ||
Dear Martha, Jesus said in Matthew 5:18 that the Old Testament stands. However, that does not mean that we must be legalistic. The New Testament explains the purpose of the Old Testament which points to the New Testament. If you have a good understanding of the Bible you will be able to rightly divide it. For instance Jesus also told us that we now only have two Commandments. This does not negate the 10 Commandments but if we walk in the first two, we will not break the other 8. [Mark 123:29-33] Now as Christians we do not have to live under the Levitical laws because we are not Jews. But much of these have symbolic meanings in Scripture. In any case, the whole Bible is valid for today and through study and prayer we learn to appropriately apply it to our lives. Itiswritten. |

98 | What does Son of Man mean? | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76019 | ||
Dear wkey: I believe it means this- From our point of view, what makes Jesus unique among men is that he is "The Son of God." However, from God's point of view, what makes Jesus unique in the Godhead is that He is the "Son of Man." God the Father and God the Holy Spirit are not...but Jesus is also one of us. Jesus is the second person of the Godhead who became one of us [Heb. 2:17]and understands things from our point of view because He truly became one of us. However, He was not really the son of Joseph. He was his stepson. He was truly the son of Mary which made Him human in reality, yet God is His Father. This was prophesied from the beginning in the middle of the curse where the Virgin Birth is hinted at in Genesis 3:15. Itiswritten |

99 | Bible tell a wife to love her husband? | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76016 | ||
Dear short, The Bible does not tell the wives to love the husbands. It tells the husbands to love their wives as he loves himself and to be willing to give his life for her. It does tell the wives to respect their husbands and to submit to them. [Eph. 5: 22-32] The Bible does not give men a license to "lord it over" women. Women are to be equal partners in this life under God. From your question I don't know what the circumstances are in your situation that led to this separation. You should not use God's word to force your will on another human being. There is probably a lot more going on between the lines here and you need to sincerely come before the Lord as to what you should be doing to rectify the situation. I am not placing fault here...what I mean is that the Lord should be the mediator between you two and you both need to be sincere before Him and be willing to modify your behavior according to His will not either of yours.

100 | Did blacks exist in biblical times? | Bible general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 76014 | ||
Dear Short: Of course blacks existed in Biblical times. You might say they were in the genes of Adam from the beginning though we do not know which genes came forward and gave Adam or Eve their color. According to the Bible the blacks were one of the branches of descendents which came out of the family of Ham.[Genesis 10: 6]Itiswritten. |
