81 | Oldest Book of the Bible Job? | Job | greentwiga | 141710 | ||
It is a good question if Job is the oldest, but it does describe conditions similar to Abraham. The mention of an iron tool in 19:24 might mean closer to 1200 BC. Moses lived around 1450 BC. Remember, Noah had some knowledge of God's ways and lived righteously by the laws he knew. Abraham had a more complete revelation around 1800 BC. Some of the laws codefied in Moses were around at the time of Abraham, since we are talking about the same God. The law was much more complete at the time of Moses. Thus Job would have known not to murder, and to worship just the one God, which are two of the ten commandments. From Moses we get two things, a more complete set of laws, and a written codification. What is truly unique to Moses is the covenant with the nation of Israel and the laws aimed specifically at Israel. Abe and Job would not have had the written code to refer to. A search of Job might reveal more laws he knew. Greentwiga |

82 | Did Mary Magdalene see the risen Christ | John | greentwiga | 141683 | ||
There are some confusing details, to be sure. Mark - Mary M watched watched the cruxification, Followed Joseph to see where Jesus was laid. The went to the tomb early and met an Angel and left. In Luke, they meet two angels and leave to tell the disciples. In John they see the empty tomb and tell the disciples. in both Mark and John, after telling the eleven, they (inc Mary M) meet Jesus. Only on the second visit are they said to cry. In Matt, Mary M and another go to the tomb and meet an Angel. Here the womenrun to tell the disciples. Suddenly Jesus appears. This can be read that Jesus appeared before or after they told the disciples. Reading it to be after agrees with the other three Gospels.The next mention of the disciples is going to Galilee. Their visit to the tomb would better fit before Jesus appeared to the Women. Therefore, it was on the second visit. Greentwiga |

85 | greentwiga, did you check the refs? | Ezek 20:5 | greentwiga | 141677 | ||
Yes, I try to go to the original Hebrew when I can. For example, I think that the original Hebrew indicates that Israel visited Petra before it was Petra, during the 40 years in the wilderness. I also think that scripture indicates that Noah's ark was a giant reed boat. It is amazing what you can find if you doubt the experts. Greentwiga |

86 | want to no the right way to understand t | John | greentwiga | 141624 | ||
Start with the books aimed at the young Christian. The Gospel of Jophn was written so you might believe. The letter of first John was written so you misht know you are saved. Other Gospels are also great places to start. The books of Romans, Hebrews, Revelation, and Some of the Old Testament books are much more difficult. Save them for later. When you are ready, God will give you a joy in those books. Psalms and Proverbs would be good Old Testament books after you read the Gospels. greentwiga |

I use a similar set of tools. Since my knowledge of hebrew is not much different than yours, I enjoy that sight that gives me young's literal translation. That is as close as I can come to the Hebrew. I do use the strong's exhaustive Concordance and the NIV exhaustive Concordance because I like to check on the original. Since I just found out about the youngs literal a month ago, I am delighted to add this new tool to my toolbox. Greentwiga |

89 | tramping on the blood of Christ | Hebrews | greentwiga | 141607 | ||
Try Heb 6:4-6 and Heb 10:26-31. Be careful, though. The language could mean either Christians or people who are examining God but haven't accepted Jesus. There are many who pretend to accept Jesus, and it might mean these. Thus one would not want to develop a doctrine of losing salvation from these verses. Greentwiga |

Some people believe in the reinspired King James version. Others believe it is the best because they grew up with it, or they have been taught that. The accepted doctrine is that only the original language (greek, hebrew, etc.) are inspired. When looking at translations, Most scholars agree that Young's literal translation is the most accurate. It is extremely difficult to read because it maintains the greek and hebrew sentence structure. The next most literal or accurate is the American Standard 1901. It is easier to read. The New American Standard (NASB) used more American sentence patterns. The King James was written in great English and a reasonably accurate translation, for the 1600's. Translations like the New International version use much better English than the NASB, but at a cost to exactness. I am eager to see an English (as opposed to American) version just released. It is supposed to maintain a great balance between readability and accuracy. Focus your discussion on the balance between readability and accuracy. a great resource is http://www.biblegateway.com It gives a huge variety of translations and lets you compare them, verse by verse.

92 | greentwiga, did you check the refs? | Ezek 20:5 | greentwiga | 141593 | ||
Deut 32:40 For I lift up unto the heavens My hand, And have said, I live -- to the age! Lam 5:6[To] Egypt we have given a hand, [To] Asshur, to be satisfied with bread. Ezek 17:18 And he despised the oath -- to break covenant, And lo, he hath given his hand, And all these he hath done, he escapeth not. I was aware that Lam and Ezek used gave his hand instead of lift his hand. But Deut does use "lift my hand" in Young's literal translation, the most literal and awkward to read translation. Because Youngs is so literal, I believe it is in the Hebrew. I quoted the other two because they used the related idea of giving the hand, and the final two because the concept of swearing an oath was part of the conversation. Sorry if I was not completely clear. I was rushing out the door and tried give a less than thorough explanation. Sorry brother. Greentwiga |

A great resource I found is biblegateway.com use it to look up young's literal translation and many others. vs 20:8 And -- they rebel against Me, And have not been willing to hearken to Me, Each, the detestable things of their eyes, They have not cast away, And the idols of Egypt have not forsaken, And I say -- to pour out My fury on them, To complete Mine anger against them, In the midst of the land of Egypt.

94 | Who goes to heaven? | Rev 20:12 | greentwiga | 141577 | ||
Hello Tan we were discussing this in Sunday school today. Rev 20 shows the system. All are given the chance to go to heaven based on their deeds. God opens the books, and shows that all have failed. None has lived up to the light they knew. All deserve their judgements. First though, God looks at the book of life. If your name is not their, He then looks in these books. If your name is in the book of life, God says the debt has been paid. Satan, the accuser says but, but he ... God says the books are sealed, the record has been thrown into the deepest sea. It is similar to when our courts seal the juvenile records. No one is allowed to mention them in any trial. Therefore, the free gift of heaven is really our second chance. Since we all had the first chance by living according to the law we knew (Rom 2:12, Rom 3:23) Therefore, none can complain that God was arbitrary about only letting those who received Jesus into heaven. Everyone had a chance and chose to not walk God's way. It is God's great mercy that He opened a second way and lets any people into heaven at all. Greentwiga |

95 | I chose Israel and lifted up My hand? | Ezek 20:5 | greentwiga | 141575 | ||
Young's literal 5 and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the day of My fixing on Israel, I lift up My hand, To the seed of the house of Jacob, And am known to them in the land of Egypt, And I lift up My hand to them, Saying, I [am] Jehovah your God. American standard 1901 5 and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when I chose Israel, and sware unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I sware unto them, saying, I am Jehovah your God; I looked at the two most literal translations I know. As you can see, the literal is to lift up the hand. This is equated with swearing an oath. I guess we might shake hands on an agreement or sign a contract. God is an Oath keeping God. I studied the word evil. it literally means useless because it is broken. It seems to most commonly be used of oath breaking or covenant breaking. Therefore, it is not important to me whether he physically lifts his hand or not. The oaths he swears (Noah, Abraham, Moses, and the new covenant come to mind and are important. See esp Heb 6:13-20, Gen 22:17. Deut 32:40, Ezra 10:19, Lam 5:6, Ezek 17:18 use hands in a covenant or contract context. greentwiga |

96 | Where does it say that? | Mark | greentwiga | 141542 | ||
Even if you found the exact quote, one must be careful to see if it meant that idea in the original greek of Hebrew. An example is the commandment thou shall not kill. The connotation in Hebrew is thou shall not murder. This might allow for capital punishment for example. On your subject, I found related ideas that might mean the same, though they use different words. Another version I heard is "God cannot abide with sin." again, not in the Bible. Isa 59:2 Your iniquities have separated you from your God. Ps 15:1 Who may dwell in your sanctuary? He whose walk is blameless. You might be able to find other related verses especially if you use synonyms for sin (iniquity, evil, wickedness, etc.) Greentwiga |

97 | 1 Timothy 4:3 is it taking about food or | 1 Tim 4:3 | greentwiga | 141527 | ||
It is simply talking about meat from cows, etc. Remember, back then was a huge problem with legalism. Various people would advocate living by various laws with some sort of logical justification. It was not only the Jewish law, but other systems. Some would say you can't eat meat because it was sacrificed to demons, or it would give the appearance of that. Instead of focusing on being free to go anywhere, and eat with anyone, to preach the Gospel. people had legalism lock themselves away from preaching the simple gospel. Can you imagine how much time one would have to spend preaching against getting married? This would be a message driving unsaved away. The bodily discipline of no marraige and not eating meat would be held in highest honor, but Paul says it is of little value, spiritual discipline is the real value. this verse helps show that it is meat being talked about.

98 | can you please explain this verse? 20? | Rom 9:19 | greentwiga | 141458 | ||
Thi is getting to the heart of the debate free will vs predestination. Books have been written on this subject. This is not asking God a simple question, but questioning God's ability to make judgements. Was it really our free choice to get saved, or was it God who opened our hearts? After Rom 8, Paul is leading to Rom 12. Esp vs 1 and 2. I urge you, in view of God's mercy. Ie, in view of God's mercy to choose us (Rom 9:16) The questions are in this context. Greentwiga |

I would suggest looking at the Descendants. Look at Edom serving Judah during the time of Kings. Look to see if Edom rebels. Notice that there are other nations or tribes that come out of Esau besides Edom. Amalek is one. The dewlling away from earth's riches.... Gen 36 Edom fits. Greentwiga |
