Dear jmar, Thank you for your questions. However, please note that this is a study bible forum not a study people's opinion forum. What we seek should reside in the biblical teachings. Meanwhile, your several questions appear to be assignment questions. If they are, we do really hope that you first try your own effort in your study instead of passing them (in the first place) onto the forum users to complete for you. If I have misunderstood you, please accept my sincere appology. Shalom Azure |

825 | In prison how did paul get news | Eph 6:21 | azurelaw | 194246 | ||
Dear Tiffy312, It is quite possible that Tychicus brought the news to Paul in prison. See chapter 6 verses 21 to 22. Hope this is helpful. Shalom Azure P.S. Did you also register under ASMITH since you are asking the same question almost at the same time? |

826 | How old was Ishmael? | Genesis | azurelaw | 194091 | ||
Dear jchbrr, You are quite right about the age of Ishmael. Hope the below is helpful: ------------ When Isaac was weaned, Ishmael was about 16 years of age. The weaning was made an occasion for great celebration. But it seems the pleasure of the day was marred by the objectionable behavior of Ishmael. "And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian .... mocking" (Genesis 21:9). Her jealous motherly love had quickened her sense of observation and her faculty of reading the character of children. We do not know exactly what the word used in the Hebrew for "mocking" really means. The Septuagint and the Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) render the passage: "When Sarah saw the son of Hagar .... playing with Isaac," and Paul followed a later tradition when he says: "He that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit" (Galatians 4:29). Lightfoot (in his notes to the Epistle to the Galatians) says: "At all events the word seems to mean mocking, jeering." At any rate, the fact remains that Sarah objected to the bringing up of the son of promise together with the "mocker," and so both mother and son were banished from the tents of Abraham. Now there came a most critical time in the life of young Ishmael. Only some bread and a bottle of water were "put on the shoulder" of Hagar by Abraham when he expelled her with her son. Aimlessly, as it seems, the two walked about in the wilderness of Beersheba. The water was soon spent, and with it went all hope and energy. The boy, being faint with thirst and tired out by his constant walking in the fierce heat of the sun, seemed to be dying. So his mother put him rapidly down in the shade of some plant. (We do not share the opinion of some writers that the narrative of Genesis 21:8 represented Ishmael as a little boy whom his mother had carried about and finally flung in the shade of some shrub. Even if this passage is taken from a different source, it is certainly not in conflict with the rest as to the age of Ishmael.) After this last act of motherly love--what else could she do to help the boy?--she retired to a place at some distance and resignedly expected the death of her son and perhaps her own. http://www.studylight.org ----------- Shalom Azure |

828 | facing the problem | Ephesians | azurelaw | 194019 | ||
Dear Michael, I believe the below scripture helpful to both of you since you said your friend is a Christian. Ephesians 4:17-32. My suggestions would be: 1/ Pray for them. 2/ Admonish your Christian friend in private with scriptures. 3/ Continue to be a good testimony for Jesus. Explain to your pagan friend that Jesus still loves despite we behave poorly. (Matt 9:13) Hope I have helped. Shalom Azure |

830 | show me 2 question and answes? | Gen 14:12 | azurelaw | 193735 | ||
Dear Sunitha, Your question is not a question and it is a little bit strange. Is it an exercise? We can propose hundreds of questions with answers based on a chapter, but is it necessary or sensible to do so? :-) If we have questions, we will post ours. If you want answers, please give us a specific question. That will be a lot easier for members of the forum to help. So, what exactly is your question? Shalom Azure |

831 | do we need to fast? | Is 58:1 | azurelaw | 193733 | ||
Dear elden, You may also read Matt 9:14-15 where Jesus and His disciples were charged by the Pharisees for not fasting. By the way, the below commentary should be helpful to answer your question. "...Christ pleads in defence of their not fasting. ...it was not a season proper for that duty (v. 15): Can the children of the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? …… Every duty is to be done in its proper season. See Eccles. 7:14; Jam. 5:13. There is a time to mourn and a time to laugh, to each of which we should accommodate ourselves, and bring forth fruit in due season. In fasts, regard is to be had to the methods of God's grace towards us; when he mourns to us, we must lament; and also to the dispensations of his providence concerning us; there are times when the Lord God calls to weeping and mourning; regard is likewise to be had to any special work before us, ch. 17:21; Acts 13:2." - Matthew Henry's commentary Shalom Azure |

833 | how many times does the Bible tell us Go | John 3:16 | azurelaw | 193574 | ||
Dear kwilliamson, You may do a word search with the fuction provided in the "Get Bible Text" by typing "love". However, I think that the focus of your question should not be in the quantitative term but should consider HOW does God love us. (John 3:16) It means nothing to me if someone tells me a hundred times or thousands of times "he loves me" without proof. And if this question is your exercise, I doubt it contributes any to your study at all. Shalom Azure |

Dear Erick, Paul has affirmed the believers in the church of the Thessalonians with great comfort. 1 Thes 4:13-18 v 13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. v 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. v 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. v 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. v 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. v 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. Shalom Azure |

Dear ava, The below should answer your question. --------------- He enquires what their thoughts were concerning him; "But who say ye that I am? v. 15. Ye tell me what other people say of me; can ye say better?" 1. The disciples had themselves been better taught than others; had, by their intimacy with Christ, greater advantages of getting knowledge than others had. Note, It is justly expected that those who enjoy greater plenty of the means of knowledge and grace than others, should have a more clear and distinct knowledge of the things of God than others. Those who have more acquaintance with Christ than others, should have truer sentiments concerning him, and be able to give a better account of him than others. 2. The disciples were trained up to teach others, and therefore it was highly requisite that they should understand the truth themselves: "Ye that are to preach the gospel of the kingdom, what are your notions of him that sent you?" Note, Ministers must be examined before they be sent forth, especially what their sentiments are of Christ, and who they say that he is; for how can they be owned as ministers of Christ, that are either ignorant or erroneous concerning Christ? This is a question we should every one of us be frequently putting to ourselves, "Who do we say, what kind of one do we say, that the Lord Jesus is? Is he precious to us? Is he in our eyes the chief of ten thousand? Is he the Beloved of our souls?" It is well or ill with us, according as our thoughts are right or wrong concerning Jesus Christ.
