81 | Doesn't your answer make it 13 tribes? | Joshua | greentwiga | 145491 | ||
Thanks, I knew there were more lists. I just couldn't remember where. No further tribes are listed, so this still makes a total of thirteen. My way had them clearly listed together. Machir is not another tribe, but the son of Manassah, so correctly identified as the tribe of Manassah, just an alternate name. Thanks again Douglas |

82 | What age was Samuel when he died. | 1 Samuel | greentwiga | 142071 | ||
Great question, no answer. I was studying the time from the exodus to David. I wanted to compare the times listed to the 480 years from Solomon. I could not find a time from the crossing of the Jordan to the first Judge, and a time for Samuel. He was full grown when he annointed Saul, and lived almost to the end of Saul's reign. This would seem to indicate that he was at least 60, but he could have been 90. We just do not know. Greentwiga |

83 | King David's brothers | 1 Samuel | greentwiga | 143015 | ||
I Sam 16:6-11, I Sam 17:13, I Chron 2:13-17. Notice His Sister's three sons, Abishai, Joab and Asahel. Joab caused David much grief, yet he couldn't punish Joab because he was his nephew. greentwiga |

84 | Scripture on fulfilment of each blessing | 2 Kings | greentwiga | 141440 | ||
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 |

85 | Hear Thou...heaven. Hear Thy people | 2 Chr 6:24 | greentwiga | 140623 | ||
In researching the Gospel, it was evident that there were several components of both salvation and renewal. When God convicts you, you must turn. You must turn from you wicked way, and you must turn, not to some other god, but to the only true God. Confession of sins does no good if one confesses to Krishna. When we repent (turn) and confess to God through Jesus, does he forgive us and restore us. Greentwiga |

86 | 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 |

87 | Oldest Book of the Bible Job? | Job | greentwiga | 141788 | ||
We do know that Adam knew about evil, which had a specific meaning. Noah saw that his generation was condemned for evil, wickedness, corruption and violence.There were some other pieces of information, such as one man one woman marriage, and the man was the head of the house. Noah knew about clean and unclean animals. I am sure one can find more in Genesis. The other cultures that you refer to such as the laws of Hamurabi and laws before him can add to this picture.

88 | Is there danger of guessing what He did? | Job | greentwiga | 141791 | ||
see my answer to EdB at 5:29 on 1/11 on another branch of this question. There is no guessing in what I said. I do not like speculating in thin air, as I think you don't either. Greentwiga |

89 | Oldest Book of the Bible Job? | Job | greentwiga | 141808 | ||
True, I missed that totally. It is easy to just say God and let it go. So much of the law seems something people would develop logically. Thou shalt not murder seems like something that all societies would develop. In Romans, Paul talks about the facets that are obvious for all to see. this indicates that man would acquire some by logic and experience. Greentwiga |

91 | When was the Book of Job first published | Job | greentwiga | 142319 | ||
There are some internal hints to the age. Various social patterns the kesitah the piece of silver, living past 100, measuring wealth in cattle, and being the family priest could mean it is as old as Abraham (1800 BC). Mentions of the people that attack (Sabean and Chaldean), the use of camels, and the use of iron mean a date as late as 1200 BC.You might be able to find more. A safe guess would be 1500 BC (Before Moses) Of course the writing could be later, but too much later would eliminate proper cultural clues. Remember, Hebrew writing was not invented till much later, so the "author" might just be the person who wrote the oral story passed down for generations. The real author would be the one who composed the oral story. Greentwiga |

92 | When was the Book of Job first published | Job | greentwiga | 142367 | ||
I was only going by evidence in the Bible. (except for the known history of writing) Moses is a logical guess, but just a human guess. Moses (or the writer)did not have to meet Job directly, but he could have heard the story. Therefore, It could have been earlier. Most date the Exodus to 1446, and the entrance into the promised land in 1406 ( I date it about 1390) This puts the earliest possible date to 1546 (1530 by my reckoning.) By this dating, my statement of about 1500 is about right, but a statement of about 1600 would be just as valid. If we agree on the statement of about 1600, I would be content. One thing to note is that all the translators from the earliest (eg septuagint, syriac, and aramiac) to the most recent have trouble translating because of the many unusual words. This argues against being composed by Moses (though he could have written down the story told him) because writers tend to use the same words and style. Thus the only real evidence that we have is what is in the Bible, and by that evidence, we have a wide range of possibilities. Greentwiga |

93 | To keep records was there paper | Job 19:23 | greentwiga | 141967 | ||
In the time of Moses, The Egyptians, where Moses was trianed, they used papyrus scrolls. When they did international correspondence, they used clay tablets with cuneiform writting (see the Amarna taboets, a few years after Moses.) For scratch paper and notes, people used broken Potsherds. Stone carvings were frequently used for permanence and on statues.The invention of paper and a writing system adapted to paper (the proto canaanite writing) changed writing and the alphabet forever. That was about 1200 to 1000 BC. Thus much of the Old testament was written on paper, but not the earliest ones like the five books of Moses. Greentwiga |

Prov 31 is my favorite set of verses for honoring women. Running a business, buying and selling property, stocks, bonds (well that one is stretching it, but you get my point.) She is praised above other women. greentwiga |

95 | Is tithe 3.33 or ten percent? | Prov 3:9 | greentwiga | 142528 | ||
I was reading on tithing in the Old testament and was puzzled. It seemed that only once every three years did the tithes get given away. The other two years, it was eaten by the tithers. Furthermore, the tithe of that year was to be split among the "church" (the Levites), the aliens, fatherless and widows. That works out to be a 3.33 percent tithe per year. Deut 14:22-28. This 3.33 percent tithe goes along with Numbers 31:30 where a 2 percent tithe of the spoils of war. Is there another passage on tithing that states ten percent each year? | ||||||
96 | ten percent once every three years? | Prov 3:9 | greentwiga | 142537 | ||
You are right, it is ten percent of the increase. In The Deut 14:22 verse you quoted it says in 2 years out of three, the person who offered the tithe ate it. Only one year out of three did thay give it away. Then they gave it to the poor, widows, aliens, and some to the levites. Am I reading that right? Is there some other verse that says we are to give ten percent each year and all of it to the church or religious authorities? | ||||||
97 | ten percent once every three years? | Prov 3:9 | greentwiga | 142546 | ||
Interesting. The average giving is 3.33 percent (10 percent once every three years.) and maybe 2 percent goes to the church. Hmmm. Thanks | ||||||
98 | do we eat our own tithe 2 years of 3? | Prov 3:9 | greentwiga | 142550 | ||
I have read the verses. Is Lev 27:20 right? Num 18:21 spoke of the tithe, but did not say how often it was give. the tri-annual titheis ten percent, but only once every three years. It seems to be a sacred meal that you do not eat. The other years, you yourself and possibly levites and aliens eat it together. I am confused on the 19 and 27 percents. It looks like one tithe mentioned several different ways, and only once every three years is it the year of the tithe, to be given totally away. Is it? This is a wonderfully complete response and I thank you for the time spent. greentwiga |

100 | Why the spotlight on gays? | Prov 6:16 | greentwiga | 142299 | ||
Mark; Various concepts have caught the attention of Christians in different locals and at different times. In the 1920s, prohibition was the big thing. Christians crusaded to ban alcohol. In the 1850s, in England more than America, Christians crusaded to ban slavery. Homosexuality and abortion seem to be the Hot topics today. When I search through the Old Testament, oppression of the poor and the cry of people against oppressors seems to be the dominate theme. Homosexuality is clearly mentioned as sin, but no more than almost any other sin. My point about oppression is that sins that hurt other people seem to have greater importance. Intriguingly enough, the condemnation of Sodom and Gomorrah (and the Jerusalem acting like Sodom) in Isa 1:9-17 mentions oppression and bloodshed but not Homosexuality. This must have been the cry God heard and mentioned to Abraham. Douglas |
