81 | Is the word 'twilight' confusing? | Matt 26:17 | wordoer | 32220 | ||
Hello , I apologize, it appears that I was confused,(please excuse my ignorance) and I was also unaware of the passage in Leviticus concerning the fifteenth day being the "Feast of Unleavened Bread", I believe I have it straight now. The instuctions say in Exodus 12:8 that they are to eat the Passover with unleavened bread. The following day (15th of Abib) is the "Feast of Unleavened Bread" and following the Passover, the days of unleavened bread was to last seven days beginning on the 15th, Leviticus 23:6. So, I believe it would not be incorrect for those observing "Passover", and the "Feast of Unleavened Bread" to call all days where they were using unleavened bread, "the days of Unleavened bread". It appears that it is eight consecutive days and would not be incorrect to call Passover the first of Unleavened Bread, I believe I have scripture in agreement,(If not let me know). Exodus 12:18, says from 14th at evening until 21st at evening you shall eat unleavened bread, That is 8 consecutive days. It is also interesting how God divides the days, Genesis 1:5 "...And there was evening and there was morning , one day", And "twilight" simply means "evening, sunset", which according to God is the beginning of the day. So my simple answer to your first question is that they were calling a day of unleavened bread (Passover), a day of unleavened bread, That's my take on it. wordoer |

82 | Unleavened Bread Prior to Passover? | Matt 26:17 | wordoer | 32096 | ||
Luke 22:7 confirms the statement in Matthew 26:17 as both accounts match. Exodus and Leviticus both confirm that the Passover started on the 14th day of Abib and was also the first day of unleavened bread. Exodus 12:17-18. You may be getting confused because it says "following with 7 days" - while the first day is included with Passover. Hope this clears it up. wordoer |

83 | Where does sickness come from? | NT general Archive 1 | wordoer | 32029 | ||
Sickness is a promise from God for not keeping His Law. Actually we bring it on ourselves (in the form of curses)for being disobedient, You can read this in Deuteronomy 28:15-68 .God can not lie, Numbers 23:19, Romans 3:4. wordoer |

84 | why did noah curse cannan | Gen 9:22 | wordoer | 30960 | ||
The question lies in the definition of the term nakedness. This was what Ham did - saw his fathers nakedness,Gen 9:22, I know the scripture does not descibe all the intricacies, But I submit the following for your consideration. In Lev 18:6, "None of you shall approach any blood relative of his to uncover nakedness; I am the Lord". verse 7 states that the nakedness of your father is your mother. verse 13 states a situation of uncovering nakedness, where the person is a blood relative. verse 17 also refers to blood relatives, and states that it is lewdness. Now if you know what happens when blood relatives (the examples in Lev 18 are close blood relatives) have intercourse resulting in child birth(inbreeding),certain abilities are diminished (retardedness). One apparent thing they didn't lack was the tendency toward wickedness. So I believe that Canaan was the result of relations between Ham and his mother. I believe there you have the reason why Canaan was cursed to be a servant of servants. I think it was announced by Noah to show his disapproval and understanding that Canaan would be genetically defective, it seems like a natural (God ordained) thing that Canaan was (genetically) cursed at conception for the violation of God's Law on the matter.

85 | WHAT WAS IT BEFORE IT " BECAME"? | Genesis | wordoer | 30735 | ||
Before it became without form and void it was still the "earth", that was created in the beginning, Genesis 1:1. We know that God is not the author of confusion, 1Cor 14:33, and it is hard to imagine He created the earth a mixed up mess. I believe He created it with order and to be habitated. The rest of verse 2 bears out that darkness (God's judgement) was over the surface of the deep. If you consider the archeological findings consisting of so-called cavemen, dinosaur fossils, and all the organic materials that have turned to coal oil and gas, would it not make sense that God created the earth to be a dwelling place for His creation. Then because His creation became corrupt He brought judgement upon it. Read another reference of when the earth was formless and void in Jeremiah 4:23-26. It's also pretty obvious that the earth is millions of years old according to all that has been uncovered and still many maintain that the earth is 6000 yrs. old. 2Peter 3:1-9,is also worth reading, notice that in verse 5 the earth was formed out of water and by water (I don't think this is talking about Noahs flood). Back in Jeremiah it say's the heavens had no light (a perfect scenario for an ice age). Verse 7 of 2peter 3, speaks of the present heavens(today's heavens have lights). I think it is a very interesting subject and worth studying because, "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter" Proverbs 25:2. I hope this helps you. wordoer |

86 | Book of Jasher | Bible general Archive 1 | wordoer | 30124 | ||
The Book of Jasher is available from several sources , The ISBN # is 0-934666-25-3, Library of Congress catalog card number 87-72939, Cost should be 10 to 12 dollars. This is a most interesting book that gives a lot of between the lines information to the scripture, that gives a great amount of insight and understanding. This book in no way would hold any authority over scripture ,but serves as an excellent history book, And I think valuable to ones studies. If you are unable to locate a copy , post to me with a request for a source and I will give it. wordoer |

87 | Can we eat unclean foods ie pork,shrimp? | Mark 7:19 | wordoer | 29070 | ||
Hello gixer44, I am glad to hear you are studying the subject, However, the words "unclean", and "food", are not related to each other in OT or NT scripture. No unclean animal was ever classified as being for food,they would make you unclean even if you touched them. However the clean animals were classified as being for food to eat. To answer your question, No, It is nowhere in the NT that God made unclean animals clean for the purpose of food. I used to eat those things, I repented, (It's disgusting to me now that I think about it, I didn't know any better),until I learned that we as Christians should not practice lawlessness (sin). We should desire to do His will. He made all animals for a purpose, it was not for the unclean to be used for food. If God changed how could you follow Him or do His will, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Heb.13:8 The answer to understanding this subject is found in Ezekiel 22:25-26. wordoer |

88 | AGE OF ACCOUNTIBILITY | Bible general Archive 1 | wordoer | 27833 | ||
Twenty years and up- Here is how I have come to this conclusion. In Exodus 30:11-14, 38:26, these scriptures of the census give the age and amounts due from those counted. Numbers 26:2 is another census and qualifies those of age and able to go to war. Read Numbers chapter 14, and especially verses 28-29, How the Lord would walk them around the wilderness until all the numbered men died. Joshua 5:4-6 , verse 6 talks about the men of war who came out of Egypt walked 40 years in the wilderness, perished because they did not listen to the voice of the Lord. I would say He held these men accountable.It was their children that went into the promised land. |

89 | What is the date of Jesus birth? | NT general Archive 1 | wordoer | 27689 | ||
My understanding is that the Hebrews considered that being "born", happened at conception. If this event (conception)occured on or about December 25th it would put the date of what we call "birth" ( 9 months later ) in late September, I back this up with a scripture from Luke 2:8, about some of the shepherds being out in the field,(probably close to time of bringing the flocks in for shelter),which would not have been out in the winter season. I believe the feast(of trumpets), took place around the September date, He was brought forth at the sounding of the Trumpet, ,it makes sense to me. | ||||||
