Title: Bible Triva
Post by: HisDaughter on November 14, 2007, 09:38:59 PM
I'm not sure where to put this, but since it will involve some Bible Study ( I hope) I will put it here until the Moderators decide otherwise.  ;D

What I want to do is put a out a Bible Trivia question and I will give you three different books that it "might" be in.  (It will be in one of the three)  When you find it, list the verse and address; ie "John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave His..........

Moderators don't get to play for 24 hours.  After the question is answered correctly, I will post the next one.

This is really a fun way to learn the Bible!

Okay.....First question:

1.  Who was the first prophet mentioned in the Bible?
(Genesis, Exodus, Ruth)

GLuv:

In Genesis 20:7, God informed Abimelech that Abraham was a prophet.  Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.

1Kings 16:8  In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.
1Kings 16:9  And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah.
1Kings 16:10  And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.

OUGH BOY sorry forgot to give answer: Thyatira

Want more?
14And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.

   15And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.

   16And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:

   17The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.

   18And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

2nd kings
5 And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king's son was over the house, judging the people of the land.

6 And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

The only other person that i can see is Jerusha the daughter of Zadok?
So I don't know!
YLBD
1In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.

2 Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done;

4 Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.

5 And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king's son was over the house, judging the people of the land.

6 And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

7 So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-==-==-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Unless im missing something here: Azariah Died with Lepersy and was married to Jecholiah ???
Was he married to Jerusha too?


Title: Re: Bible Triva

32 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham  the son of Uzziah  king of Judah to reign.

33 Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
was she married to Azariah too?
Azariah is the one who died with lepersy i thought?
Or am i still missing something?



Title: Re: Bible Triva
Post by: Soldier4Christ on November 15, 2007, 08:39:38 PM
2Ki 15:1  In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.
2Ki 15:2  Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.


2Ki 15:32  In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign.
2Ki 15:33  Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.


In verse 1 & 2 they are talking about Azariah starting his reign as king and his mother's name is Jecholiah.

In verse 32 & 33 it is Jotham starting his reign as king. His mothers name is Jerusha. Jotham's fathers name is Uzziah (which is also the same as Azariah). That makes Uzziah/Azariah's wife to be Jerusha.



Title: Re: Bible Triva
Post by: Littleboy on November 15, 2007, 09:10:58 PM
Well that answers my ?'s, thank you pastor,

"was she married to Azariah too?"
"Azariah is the one who died with lepersy i thought?"
Their the same people Azariah/Uzziah...
OUGH BOY!
I can see that now that i read the whole chapter slowly,
This part helped me the most 15:30, Because i knew Aziariah was Jothams dad & in this verse he calls him Azariah/Uzziah...
thank you for the Clairity...

You're welcome. Uzziah is also mentioned in 2 CH 26 and the story is pretty much the same. We also see him in Matt 1:8 - 9 in the geneology of Joseph using the name of Ozias. This was a good one grammy. If I hadn't already known that Uzziah and Azariah were one and the same from prior Bible studies it would have caught me off kilter also.

It was a tough one!  Littleboy you were so close!  I saw what you had written when I got home from work but I was hungry and had fix me some dinner first.  I was just sitting down to type it all out only to find that Pastor Roger had already done it for me!  Thanks Pastor Roger!!
That chapter is a bit confusing not only because of the two names for Uzziah but also it flip flops back and forth about the king of Israel and the king of Judah.  A new person studying this would get confused with just that if they didn't know that the kingdom was separated.
Littleboy, you get a great big hug for your diligent effort.  You're amazing!  (http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u312/loveAid_2007/smilies-1.gif)

The answer is actually in both 1CH and in one choice not listed of 2SA of course 1CH was the correct answer for this question.

1Ch 3:1  Now these were the sons of David, which were born unto him in Hebron; the firstborn Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second Daniel, of Abigail the Carmelitess:
1Ch 3:2  The third, Absalom the son of Maachah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur: the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith:


2Sa 3:2  And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
2Sa 3:3  And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
2Sa 3:4  And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; ....

The name Adonijah means lord of Jah or worshipper.

2Sa 3:3  And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
2Sa 3:4  And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; ....

The name Adonijah means lord of Jah or worshipper.

 




Thank you Pastor Roger!
Here is the reference I had for the meaning of the name:

Biblical context   The Biblical baby name Adonijah is Hebrew in origin and it's meaning is my lord is God or my lord is Jehovah.

Adonijah is pronounced ad-o-nee-jaw.

Adonijah was the fourth son of David by Haggith. He was Solomon's rival as successor to David. Adonijah was also the name of a man from the tribe of Levi who taught the book of law to the inhabitants of Judah.

1 Kings 1:5-53; 2 Chronicles 17:8
Strong's concordance 0138

My last sentence was incomplete. It should have said "worshipper of Jah". The word Jah or just the letter Y is used for God. Most Hebrew scholars say that the name Adonijah means "my master is Y".

Strong's however says:

" 138 'Adoniyah ad-o-nee-yaw' original (prolonged) dAdoniyahuw {ad-o-nee- yaw'-hoo}; from 113 and 3050; lord (i.e. worshipper) of Jah; Adonijah, the name of three Israelites:--Adonijah."

In this particular case I think that your reference is more correct than the actual Strong's Concordance.

Yes.  Interesting.  I have heard Jah used for God before but in a totally different context.  I heard it in reference to Rastafarian founder Haile Selassie I, former emperor of Ethiopia.  He was believed to be the promised "returned" Messiah, God incarnate and part of the Holy Trinity.  He claimed to be a direct descendant of Solomon through the Queen of Sheba, I believe.  He was also referred to as HIM, and his full title in office was "His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, King of Kings of Ethiopia and Elect of God".  He died in 1975, I think and had a successor but I haven't read anything about him.

Post by: Soldier4Christ on November 16, 2007, 10:14:57 PM
Yes, the Rastafarian are the ones of today that use the word Jah and we know where they got it from. The Ethiopians still use a form of Hebrew even though it is mixed with Arabic and Assyrian.

Right again Sister Eva!  Col 4:16 and it was Laodiceans!
I wouldn't worry about getting with the program or not knowing as much, you seem to be quite knowledgeable yourself and you sure are quick with these answers and have been correct each time!
I'll tell you a little secret and I hope it doesn't take the fun out of it for you, but I have a HUGE book of Bible Trivia where I get these from.  Some of them I do know the answers and some I don't.  So you see I might have the "inside track" as it were, but I'm learning right along with you!  Makes it fun for me too!

Let's try Jehoram

2Chron. 21:9  Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and the captains of the chariots.

2Chron. 21:10  So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.

2Chron. 21:11  Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto.

2Chron. 21:12  And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

2Chron. 21:13  But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, which were better than thyself:

2Chron. 21:14  Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:

2Chron. 21:15  And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.

2Chron. 21:16  Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians:

2Chron. 21:17  And they came up into Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.

2Chron. 21:18  And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.

Jer 26:22  And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt.

Elisha

1Ki 19:20  And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?
1Ki 19:21  And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.

Esther 2:14  In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, who kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and she were called by name.

Esther 2:17 & 18. And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti. Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the bounty of the king.

Thank you for the challenge.

Love in Christ, Eva

Actually, I've been working on this since you posted it. I came up with two possibilities and one of those was the one that sister Eva came up with. The other one is:

The daughter of Barzillai. This was "significant" because of the genealogy for the priesthood.

Ezr 2:61  And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name:
Ezr 2:62  These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.

Great Job, Pastor Roger. I passed right over that one.  You are exceedingly knowledgeable of God's Word.

Thanks grammyluv for the questions.  They sure do make me search God's Word.  So even when I am incorrect, I m still reading and learning more.

Hopefully the answer to this one will be correct. Bethany:

John 11:1  Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

Jerusalem and one pearl per gate.

Revelations 21:12  And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

Revelations 21:21  And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

Nehemiah?

Nehemiah 6:17  Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them.
Nehemiah 6:18  For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
Nehemiah 6:19  Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.

Zerubbabel


Ezr 4:3  But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God; but we ourselves together will build unto the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us.
Ezr 4:4  Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,
Ezr 4:5  And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
Ezr 4:6  And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, wrote they unto him an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.
Ezr 4:7  And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue.
Ezr 4:8  Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort:
Ezr 4:9  Then wrote Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions; the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites, and the Elamites,
Ezr 4:10  And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnappar brought over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this side the river, and at such a time.
Ezr 4:11  This is the copy of the letter that they sent unto him, even unto Artaxerxes the king; Thy servants the men on this side the river, and at such a time.
Ezr 4:12  Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which came up from thee to us are come unto Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up the walls thereof, and joined the foundations.
Ezr 4:13  Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls set up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt endamage the revenue of the kings.
Ezr 4:14  Now because we have maintenance from the king's palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king's dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified the king;
Ezr 4:15  That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed.
Ezr 4:16  We certify the king that, if this city be builded again, and the walls thereof set up, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side the river.
Ezr 4:17  Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and unto the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time.
Ezr 4:18  The letter which ye sent unto us hath been plainly read before me.
Ezr 4:19  And I commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein.
Ezr 4:20  There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, which have ruled over all countries beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid unto them.
Ezr 4:21  Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded, until another commandment shall be given from me.
Ezr 4:22  Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?
Ezr 4:23  Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.
Ezr 4:24  Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

It has been awhile since I  last posted  here, but I do visit quite often and truly enjoy reading the posts here through out the forum.

The "Lord" sure works in mysterious ways, as this question was asked by our Pastor just a few days back.
Anyway I believe this is the answer you are looking for.

Keep up this post, I think that the more our Christians start viewing this, more may like to join in too.

(Act 1:26 KJV)  And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.


Hi work in progress. Please do join us in this Bible study. It is a great fellowship time in the Lord and we all can learn so much more about the one that loves us more than anyone else ever can.

Yes Paul does call himself an Apostle at the start of 9 different letters. It is in Acts 9 though where we see that Christ has called him to be an Apostle.

Act 9:11  And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
Act 9:12  And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
Act 9:13  Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
Act 9:14  And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
Act 9:15  But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

Are you all missing me?

It looks like all you guys found a way to entertain yourselves today while I was hard at work.  ;D
Actually when you're doing something that you were called to do and LOVE doing, it's not really work.  The past two days I could hardly wait to get to the mission.  I'm having a blast!!  ;D ;D
And I'm missing you guys too!  I don't get to get on the computer like I did at Microsoft, so I just have a few moments in the morning and then a bit again at night.

I think I'll cruise the forums and see what else you guys have been up to today.  :D

If I may,I have one to ponder.

I know the word "RAPTURE" does not appear in God's written word, "the Holy Bible", but I do believe there is certain references to it.

There is two,
Genesis, Exodus,Hebrews and 2 Samuel, 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles

I am sorry, please excuse me for not at least giving some hint as to my little bit of  Bible triva
 What I meant to say is: There is two: one that " walked with God", and the other "went up in a whirlwind into heaven"


Title: Re: Bible Triva
Post by: Soldier4Christ on December 07, 2007, 12:09:16 PM
Actually there are more than just two places in which it can be found. We find it referred to in Act 24, John 14, 1 Thess, 1 Cor 15, Rev 3, Mat 24, Isa 26, Isa 57, Philippians 3, Psalm 50, Psalm 144, Eze 33, Eze 37, Dan 12, and there are still many more.

The word rapture did not exist prior to around 1600. It comes from the Latin word Rapt approximately 1400. It means to carry away, carried off or be carried away. We see this in many places in the Bible that tells us that we will be carried away to Heaven, raised from the dead during the resurrection and taken to be with Jesus.

That is correct, thanks for the reminder on just the word Rapture, I realized after I posted it that I would get this answer, for yes there are many references to " Rapture"

 What I meant is there were two individuals that gives us the hope that before theTribulation, we too may be called up to be with Christ.  and that was my question. Who are they?

Please forgive me If I have caused any transgression here in this posting that was started by "grammyluv"
I only wanted to participate in this "Bible Trivia"

All I was looking for was Enoch and Elijah
(Gen 5:24 KJV)  And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
and (Heb 11:5 KJV)  By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

(2Ki 2:11 KJV)  And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

Two times in Genesis:

Genesis 3:20  And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

Genesis 4:1  And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. 

Two times in the New Testament:

1Timothy 2:13  For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

2 Corinthians 11:3  But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Title: Re: Bible Triva

You made me have to think on this one brother. Because earthquake isn't in Genesis, Numbers, 1Chronicles, in my Bible.

Genesis 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament [the expanse of the sky] in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters [below] from the waters [above].


Title: Re: Bible Triva
Post by: Soldier4Christ on December 08, 2007, 04:26:18 PM
The word earthquake is in two of those books but it is pretty well hidden. The verse you gave though does not talk about dividing of the land. That is the dividing of the water that is on or in the earth from the water above the earth.



Title: Re: Bible Triva
Post by: Eva on December 08, 2007, 04:30:04 PM
I may have the other one:

Numbers 16:30-32  But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD. And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground cleaved asunder that was under them: And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.

In my Bibles (Amplified Bible, & KJV) that is the only one thats comes close. The others talk about dividing the land for the tribes, but doesn't say how the land was divided.


Title: Re: Bible Triva
Post by: Soldier4Christ on December 08, 2007, 04:37:27 PM
That was a very good try, Eva. Since this is an especially hard one I'll give a few additional hints.

A persons name that is given means earthquake.

The key words are "earth" and "divided".


Title: Re: Bible Triva
Post by: Eva on December 08, 2007, 04:59:22 PM
How about...

Genesis 10:25  And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

Love in Christ, Eva


Title: Re: Bible Triva
Post by: Soldier4Christ on December 08, 2007, 05:38:37 PM
That and:

1Ch 1:19  And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother's name was Joktan.

These verses do cause some confusion and differences of opinion amongst Biblical scholars. Some think that it means just a division of the continents and others think that it means a division of the tribes. Much of this confusion comes from the translation of the word Peleg in some Bible versions to earthquake and in others to the word division. The word Peleg means earthquake and is also used to mean a rill (that is, small channel of water, as in irrigation): - river, stream. Those that translate Peleg to mean division do so just because it "sounds similar" to the Hebrew word for divided, pâlag, when they are two different words with totally different meanings.

Another part that causes confusion is the fact that the Tower of Babel takes place in Genesis 11, the dividing of the people into nations which also takes place during the life time of Peleg. In the story of Babel we not only see that the Lord confounded the language of the people but that He also scattered them across the face of the earth. He put division between them both of language and geographically.

1Kings 18:4  For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD... Hope this mean she had them put to death?

GrammyLuv and PR, you are both so knowledgeable about God's Word.  You both offer challenging questions, which cause me to seek out the correct answer.

Many Thanks, as we know God's Word never comes back void, even when we are having fun playing Bible Trivia.

God Bless you both.

OOPS! Forgot 1Kings 18:13  Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid a hundred men of the LORD's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?

Speaking on Jezebel, did you hear that archaeologists have uncovered a seal that belonged to Jezebel. Just another one of many things that corroborate the Bible.

A few more questions on Jezebel.

How did she die and who predicted this manner of death?

Where do we see mention of Jezebel besides in 2 Kings?

She died by a type of stoning:

2 Kings 9:33  And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trod her under foot.

Elijah predicted her death:

1 Kings 21:23  And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.

She is also mentioned in Revelations:

Revelations 2:20  Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

Thanks for the challenge.  I just love these.

Alright. You got the right verses, sister but I wouldn't call it a stoning. She was thrown out of a window to the ground below and then was stomped on by horses. The window must have been fairly high up because her landing caused her blood to splatter quite a bit.

Although sunstroke isn't mentioned outright, it could be:

And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.  And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.

 Then on February 15* of the second year of King Darius’s reign, the Lord sent another message to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah and grandson of Iddo. Zechariah said:
8 In a vision during the night, I saw a man sitting on a red horse that was standing among some myrtle trees in a small valley. Behind him were red, brown, and white horses, each with its own rider.

You are welcome
 I thank the Lord for allowing me the opportunity to partake in this section of "ChristiansUnite Forum"
 It is such a blessing to be able to partake  in your "Bible Triva"; it surely does help one in increasing their knowledge of the Lord's written word.

Now as for the meaning of "Noah"
 I find in the "Strong's (Hebrew & Greek) Concordance this meaning, which I would venture to say is where the meaning of "Manoah" derived from.

  "Noah"  H5146
נח
nôach
no'-akh
The same as H5118; rest; Noach, the patriarch of the flood: - Noah.

  "Manoah" H4494
מנוח
mânôach
maw-no'-akh
From H5117; quiet, that is, (concretely) a settled spot, or (figuratively) a home: - (place of) rest.

H5117נוּח
nûach
noo'-akh
A primitive root; to rest, that is, settle down; used in a great variety of applications, literally and figuratively, intransitively, transitively and causatively (to dwell, stay, let fall, place, let alone, withdraw, give comfort, etc.): - cease, be confederate, lay, let down, (be) quiet, remain, (cause to, be at, give, have, make to) rest, set down. Compare H3241.

H4495
מנוח
mânôach

Matthew 28

1 Early on Sunday morning,* as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to see the tomb. 2 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, because an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and rolled aside the stone and sat on it.

chains

Revelations 20

1 Then I saw an angel come down from heaven with the key to the bottomless pit and a heavy chain in his hand. 2 He seized the dragon—that old serpent, the Devil, Satan—and bound him in chains for a thousand years. 3 The angel threw him into the bottomless pit, which he then shut and locked so Satan could not deceive the nations anymore until the thousand years were finished. Afterward he would be released again for a little while.

2Ch 28:2  For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.
2Ch 28:3  Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.
2Ch 28:4  He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
2Ch 28:5  Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.


2Ch 28:22  And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD: this is that king Ahaz.
2Ch 28:23  For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
2Ch 28:24  And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
2Ch 28:25  And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers.

As I was posting these questions over the past few days, I was struck with how much child sacrifices there were!  I have also read many books on Satanic cults in the past and was surprised that this still happens!  It is truly horrifying.
I am sure that any god that wanted me to sacrifice one of my children, I would recognize as evil.  Why didn't they?

Well lets move along, shall we?

John 1:45-47  Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

What wicked king of Judah built a Syrian style altar and offered up his son as a sacrifice?

(Isaiah, 2 Chronicles, Jeremiah)

Bible triva Posted by: grammyluv


I feel the "Holy Spirit" in directing me in this reply:
 
We find this King, Ahaz; in the book of 2nd Kings and what he did first , and in the book of 2nd Chronicles is a continuation of how he ruled over his people  and what he did while he was the King of Judah.
(2Ki 16:1 KJV)  In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.

(2Ki 16:2 KJV)  Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father.

(2Ki 16:3 KJV)  But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.

(2Ki 16:4 KJV)  And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

 Yes I can agree with you in this response, that I too would know it was coming from Satan. And, this only because of being on this side of the "cross" and having the indwelling "Holy Spirit", praise the LORD!
Other-wise we would have to trust in God, and that He (God) will make all things right just as He did when He told Abraham to take his 1st born son and offer him up as a burnt offering in Genesis 22.

(Gen 22:1 KJV)  And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

(Gen 22:2 KJV)  And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.


(Gen 22:10 KJV)  And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

(Gen 22:11 KJV)  And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.

(Gen 22:12 KJV)  And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.

(Gen 22:13 KJV)  And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.


 I thank you Grammyluv for these postings of "Bible Triva" as it surely does help, atleast in my case, one to search thier Bible for these answers which in turn helps to increase our knowledge of the Bible, which is just what God wants us to do. 2nd Timothy.

A:  the church at Jerusalem
In Acts 6:1 "And in those days" is referring to when the Apostiles were preaching the gospel in the Church at Jerusalem.

(Act 6:1 KJV)  And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.

(Act 6:2 KJV)  Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
(Act 6:3 KJV)  Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
(Act 6:4 KJV)  But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
(Act 6:5 KJV)  And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:

B: the church at Jerusalem

(Act 8:14 KJV)  Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

It was both Aquila and Priscilla.

Act 18:1  After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
Act 18:2  And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.

1Co 16:19  The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.


Apollos was a follower of John the Baptist that Aquila and Priscilla taught "the way of God more perfectly".

Act 18:24  And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
Act 18:25  This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
Act 18:26  And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

This must be a tuff one, as I see no answer as of yet, but I'll try anyway.

which I found in the side notes for Acts 15:22

I believe you are right Dave.  My handy dandy triva book says that it was Antioch but on further research that doesn't seem to be true since he and Barnabas, Paul and Judas left from the Jerusalem church to go to Antioch.

Winston Churchill was not intimidated by errors.  When he made one, he simply thought the problem through again.  Someone asked him, "Sir Winston, what in your school experience best prepared you to lead Britain out of her darkest hour?"
Winston thought a minute and then said, "It was the two years I spent at the same level in high school."
"Did you fail?"
"No," replied Winston.  "I had two opportunities to get it right."  ;D

This is also true in our walk with Christ. God does not expect us to be perfect and to understand Him completely from the beginning. We learn from our mistakes and like a loving Father that He is, He is merciful, forgiving yet staying firm in teaching us. As we have seen many times in scripture, repeating Himself to an individual when necessary and sometimes rewording it so that individual can better understand.

Something to note here is that blinded in this case does not mean that they are completely without sight. With the use of the Hebrew word sanverim, used only here and in Genesis 19:11, it is indicated that they were prevented from seeing what they were trying to see. In Genesis they were prevented from seeing the door so that they couldn't get in to Lot and his family. In 2 Kings 6:18 they were prevented from seeing their way to the city of Dotham and instead with Elisha's guidance ended up at Samaria.

Because it was bitter. Cried unto the Lord(Prayed) and was obedient regarding the tree.

Exodus 15:23-27  And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,  And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for am the LORD that healeth thee. And, they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.

Who was sleeping between two soldiers when he was miraculously delivered?



Title: Re: Bible Triva
Post by: Precious2God on January 13, 2008, 01:18:33 PM
Peter was sleeping between two soilders. 

Acts 12-1-11


Acts 12
 1Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.

 2And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

 3And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)

 4And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

 5Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

 6And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.

 7And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

 8And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.

 9And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.

 10When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.

 11And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the LORD hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.



Title: Re: Bible Triva
Post by: Soldier4Christ on January 13, 2008, 01:57:08 PM
Amen, another one correct.

This is an important portion of scripture with a lesson that is also for our coming future. The Christians of that time had become somewhat disillusioned. They thought that the 12 Apostles enjoyed a unique divine protection. This was shattered with the slaying of James. Now Peter was captured and possibly facing the same demise. The church wakes up and turns to God in constant prayer for Peter and Peter is then delivered from the hands of Herod.

Today we see the church becoming complacent again, expecting, with some even demanding God to do all the work, to deliver us from evil without even asking Him.

Peter showed no signs of anxiety.  He was able to sleep soundly on what seemed to be the last night before his execution. Peter thought that he was seeing a vision and not the real thing. He obeyed without really knowing what was happening. The soldiers, the chains, the guard posts, the iron gate - are all nothing when God is with us and prayer is behind us.  Many of us are worrying about the iron gate before we ever get to it.  Long before we face such persecution many of us are anxious about the iron gate!  But God will take care of it when we come to it.

We must not fall into this complacent attitude. We all need to turn to Him in constant prayer and continue in His work while we are still able.

Luk 21:34  And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
Luk 21:35  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Luk 21:36  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Answer:  Bow (Raindbow) and Everlasting

Genesis 9:8-17

 8And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

 9And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

 10And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

 11And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

 12And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

 13I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

 14And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

 15And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

 16And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

 17And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

This is "Strong's" concordance meaning

Pastor Roger,
         I'll try the 1st one and then let one of the others try the other 2.

 Not that I am saying I have this one right either, and if I don't then I will say "Glory be to God", for even allowing me the chance to answer, and spending time studying and reading His precious written word, the Holy Bible.

with that all said, here goes:

This the new testament verse: Galatians 3:13

(Gal 3:13 KJV)  Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

and the old testament, I believe this needs two verses in order to answer it right and these being:
Deuteronomy: 21:22-23

(Deu 21:22 KJV)  And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:

(Deu 21:23 KJV)  His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

               What a wonderful way to get us "Christians" to open and read the Bible

Hey guys!  I'm going to pop in for a minute....

While reading 1 & 2 Kings and 1 & 2 Chronicles this past couple of weeks, an Asheroth pole was mentioned several times.  Either being put up or taken down numerous times.  So being the curious sort that I am I had to look it up and see what it was.

So my question for you all.....

What is an Asheroth Pole?

 “green trees” or “grove.” This “nature worship” became associated with gross immorality, and so the practice of setting up such “groves” or idols was forbidden by Hebrew prophets (Deut. 16: 21; cf. Num. 25: 3; Judg. 2: 11-13; 1 Sam. 7: 3-4; 1 Kgs. 11: 5; Isa. 17: 8; Micah 5: 12). YLBD

Actually the words "grove" or "trees" is somewhat deceiving. An Asheroth Pole is actually a very large pole with a carving at the top. Somewhat like a totem pole but with the single carving at the top instead of multiple ones all the way down the pole. It got it's name from a Syrian goddess, the mother of Baal, called Asherah that the Syrians carved a figure of at the top of a pole that they used next to their sacrificial altars. It was found near the altars of Baal

The early Israelites took on the tradition of setting up similar such poles next to the altars and were chastised for doing so.

Post by: Littleboy on January 27, 2008, 04:33:39 PM
 In the Hebrew Bible we find 40 references to Asherah. Most of these emanate from the Dtr. source, and let it be noted that none of these appear to be of the very positive variety. In her study Asherah: Goddesses in Ugarit, Israel and the Old Testament, Tilde Binger noted that there is warrant for seeing an Asherah as, variously, “a wooden-aniconic-stela or column of some kind; a living tree; or a more regular statue”(1997:141). Johannes de Moor notes that in many instances it seems to refer to some sort of inanimate, albeit illicit, wooden object (1974:442). Deuteronomy 16: 21, for example, reads: You shall not set up a sacred post (i.e., Asherah) any kind of pole beside the altar of the Lord your God that you may make. (Also see 1 K 16:33;2K 21:7; 2 K23:6)

    In this verse an Asherah seems to be a type of wood pole placed near an altar. This might explain why Asheroth in the Hebrew Bible are often cut down. In Judges 6:25, for example, Gideon is instructed to pull down, or destroy, the Asherah (also see Exod. 34:13; Deut. 7:5;2 K 18:4; Mic. 5:13).

The Pastor is right at 1st they were wooden poles with the carving of a Goddess on them later on though many people just started growing groves next to their Altars, Like the Phoencians they had a Grove next to every Altar...

In Hebrew, called Asherah (of which the plural is Asherim or Asheroth), either a living tree or a tree-like pole, set up as an object of worship, being symbolical of the female or productive principle in nature.

I think were both right with this Def.?

Be careful who you quote as an authority on something. Tilde Binger in her book "Asherah: Goddesses in Ugarit, Israel and the Old Testament" claims that "the Asherah of the Old Testament was indeed the consort (spouse) of Yahweh". Definitely not someone that I would want to claim as an authority on any subject in the Bible.

Both the Bible and archaeological evidence shows that an Asheroth Pole is more like a wooden stele not a living tree. In the instances in which a living tree might have been used it was docked of all branches turning it into a pole or stele and then had an image carved at the top of it. This was done where it was difficult to dig (plant) a hole to set a pole into as the roots would stabilize it. This is how the Phoencians made theirs in many cases.

Just a little off the cuff to start with then I must get to bed. Perhaps I could do more tomorrow then.

The word Gnostics come from the Greek word gnosis which means knowledge. There are actually many various belief systems that fall into the category of Gnostics but the main general idea is that knowledge is the key to all things. There is a belief of one major God over a lot of little gods with a lot leaning on mysticism. There is a strong denial of the deity of Jesus Christ throughout gnosticism.

Brothers and Sisters,

I find it sad and shocking that many of the ancient and ungodly cults are reappearing today. I firmly believe they were of the devil, and Bible Prophecy tells us there will be much more that will deceive many. The ancients Gnostics were obviously anti-Christ, and we should all know that evil will increase greatly before the SECOND COMING OF CHRIST. In fact, it is already easy to see. The part of a Christian is to pray, study GOD'S WORD, and put on the WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD. We will wrestle with more than just flesh and blood and should know that the devil and the powers of darkness are quite real.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable GIFT, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour Forever!

One of the greatest things used by non-believers are supposed contradictions in the Bible. When confronted by such an individual it makes witnessing to them very difficult. We should be able to "be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear". One of the things that we should be able to do is to give reasonable and educated explanations of these supposed contradictions. The following series of questions pertain to these supposed questions. It is my hope and prayer that this study will help us all become better witnesses for our Lord and Saviour.

Supposed Contradiction # 1:

   1. Gen. 1:11 has the trees made on day 3 before man;
      Gen. 2:8 has the trees made on day 6 after man.
   2. Gen. 1:20 has birds made out of the water on day 5;
      Gen. 2:19 has birds made out of the ground (after man) on day 6.
   3. Gen. 1:24, 25 has the animals made on day 6 before man;
      Gen. 2:19 has the animals made on day 6 after man

What is the answer to this supposed difference in scripture?

Two seperate creation events....

Wait...wait...

Gen 1 and Gen 2 do have two different creation events in them.  Gen 1 is Creation.  While Gen 2 focuses on creation of the Garden of Eden.  Man was created before the Garden was.  When man was created then God created the Garden to put man.  And when man was in the garden God created animals and brought them before man so that man could name them and to find a helper.

The Hebrew language is a most difficult one to learn. Many of the old dictionaries such, as Strong's, while good for a quick reference has many errors in them that was made by assumptions and sometimes due to a lack of there being a better English word. When referring to one tree or many trees the Hebrew word ‛êts is always used. In speaking of a grove of trees the Hebrew word is 'êshel. If there is to be an indication of it being living or alive the words chay or châyâh is used respectfully in conjunction with the word ‛êts.

Actually they are the same creation event as it was all done in the same six days of creation.

1. Chapter 1 tells the entire story in the order it happened.
   2. Gen. 2:4-6 gives a quick summary of the first five days of creation.
   3. Gen. 2:7-25 is describing only the events that took place on day 6 in the Garden of Eden.

The trees described in Genesis 2:8 are only in the Garden (the rest of the world is already full of trees from day 3). The purpose of this second creation of trees may have been to let Adam see that God did have power to create, that He was not just taking credit for the existing world. Notice that the second creation of trees was still on day 6 and was only those trees that are "pleasant to the sight and good for food."

The birds created out of the ground on day 6 are only one of each "kind" so that Adam can name them and select a wife. The rest of the world is full of birds from day 5.

Genesis 2:19 is describing only the animals created in the Garden, after man. The purpose of this second batch of animals being created was so that Adam could name them (Gen. 2:19) and select a wife (Gen. 2:20). Adam, not finding a suitable one (God knew he wouldn't), God made Eve (Gen. 2:21-22). (Compare to Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.) Eve was created on day 6.

There are no contradictions between these two chapters. Chapter 2 only describes in more detail the events in the Garden of Eden on day 6.

Hi all!  Just checking in to see how my long lost thread is going!  Great info on the seemingly contradictions in Gen. PR!  I think this is a fun way to learn.
Well I hoping to be all set up again the first part of March, but it looks like it may be April now.  The place I'm moving to has some apts to remodel after the floods we had a month or so ago.  Since it is all done with donations and donated time it's take a while.
In the mean time I will me moving my things to a storage unit next to the place I will be moving into and I will be staying right here at the mission!
I've said all this before but in case anyone missed it....

I will keep checking in and of course I've been posting on my "Chicken Soup" on the nights that I'm at work and have access to a computer.  ;D

Hello GrammyLuv,

Sister, it sounds like things aren't very easy for many of us, but I think we are growing closer and stronger in CHRIST through our struggles. In fact, many of those struggles can be satisfying and very positive with GOD leading us along in the path HE wants us to take.

It's nice to know that many of us pray for each other every day. Maybe we could think of this short life like climbing a hill. The higher we get, the more beautiful the view. When we stop for a rest, we can think about the Promises of GOD and know this world isn't our home.

Love In Christ,
Tom

 it is Deborah I do believe as well:
(Jdg 4:4 KJV)  And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
(Jdg 4:5 KJV)  And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.


(Jdg 5:1 KJV)  Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,

(Jdg 5:2 KJV)  Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.

(include the verses that describe Nabal's death)



Abigail was married to Nabal
The verses describing his death are:
(1Sa 25:36 KJV)  And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

(1Sa 25:37 KJV)  But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

(1Sa 25:38 KJV)  And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.

If I understand this right, was it because Nabal rejected not only David's requests but worst of all God? God does hold us accountable for our actions  and What a terrible way to die.

I know this has nothing to do with todays trivia question, but I too do not understand where Precious2God came up feeling this way

Correct. Nabal refused to accept David as king, the anointed position given him of God. In so doing Nabal positioned himself as an enemy of David. His greatest sin though was in rejecting God wishing to continue in his sins. The sin that leads to eternal death even today.

I am sure that we all are confused by this and feel the same as you do in this matter. Precious2God has been a wonderful addition to the forum, especially so to this study. All that we can do is to offer our prayers in this situation and for Precious2God as she has removed her own account.

I sort of found this one a bit tough, I spent a few days reading using "Strong's Concordance" and came up with quite a number of locations as well as verses. I draw the same conclusion that the "Beast" is from "Hell", but I just did not know which verse to quote
 
Besides Rev 11:7 I came up with these as well, Rev 13:1; 13:11 and 17:8
 
Rev 13:1  And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea;
Rev 13:11 coming up out of the earth; 
Rev 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit,

Good trivia quetion though as it surely does keep us in our bibles studing God's word.

{Strongs} G623 --Apolluōn

Active participle of G622; a destroyer (that is, Satan): - Apollyon.

Interestingly, just as the previous post, here is the bottomless pit mentioned as well,
{Strongs} G12- abussos - ab'-us-sos From G1 (as a negative particle) and a variation of G1037; depthless, that is, (specifically), (infernal) “abyss”: - deep, (bottomless) pit

(Rev 13:4 KJV)  And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

Here I see the Beast mentioned again, so, is Satan being discribed as being like a "Dragon"?

and last I find:
(Rev 20:2 KJV)  And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

(Rev 20:3 KJV)  And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Serpent = snake
{Strongs} G3789
ὄφις  ophis
Probably from G3700 (through the idea of sharpness of vision); a snake, figuratively (as a type of sly cunning) an artful malicious person, especially Satan: - serpent.

I think that with what I find here that Satan is the most evil being we could ever imagine and is beyond describing.
I thank "GOD" for His grace and His promise,That He will never leave nor forsake me; that I will never have to worry about seeing satan.

In Christian love

All the verses that you presented do in fact describe Satan's character but they do not describe his appearance. Anyone willing to try again?



Title: Re: Bible Triva
Post by: Eva on February 16, 2008, 12:08:07 PM
What book of the Bible describes Satan's appearance?



Dave, great input!!! 

Revelations 12 describes him as a red dragon-old serpent

Revelations 12:3  And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

I have another thought if this isn't the right one.

Dave, great input!!! 

These are all great references and they do indeed describe satan in one manner or another. This is an especially difficult question. Most of these though are fitting his characteristics.

The Bible does not give us an exact physical description of his appearance. The most detailed scripture that mentions his physical appearance is when we are told that he can take on the appearance of most anything even an "angel of light".

2Co 11:14  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

What often-used prayer mentions Satan?



The prayer the Lord taught his disciples, also sometimes known as "The Lord's Prayer"
(Mat 6:13 KJVR)  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Personally I beleive Jesus praying the the garden of Gethsemane is truly the Lords real prayer
(Mat 26:36 KJVR)  Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

(Mat 26:39 KJVR)  And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

(Mat 26:42 KJVR)  He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

Thank you Pastor Roger.  One of the many hard lessons I have learned in the past three weeks is that if I'm down or hurt or whatever the only person that is hurting, is me.  There was really not a good reason for leaving except for what I had told myself so I'm asking for you all to accept my apology for leaving like I did and to forgive me.  I'm also asking for many prayers as I continue to grow and learn all these hard lessons that God has been teaching me.

Many of us have tried to form a habit of praying for each other every day. We all have needs of various types and GOD loves to hear our prayers. All of us also need encouragement and fellowship frequently. So, I give thanks that GOD has provided for us.

Devil, the English translation of a Greek word (diabolos) meaning ‘accuser’ or ‘slanderer,’ used in the Septuagint to translate the Hebrew ‘Satan’ and in the New Testament as a synonym for the same term. In the King James Version, it is also a translation of another Greek word (daimon),

Title: Re: Bible Triva
Post by: Soldier4Christ on February 19, 2008, 12:22:29 PM
All very good tries and very close but not quite there. The word is diabolical, from the Greek word diabolos, which literally means "slanderer, "false accuser", or even "opponent".

That's correct. While we don't know exactly what this "thorn" was we know that it did in fact make him weak as we see verse 9. We also see another lesson in these verses and that is even Christians may have to suffer some fleshy infirmity. Praise God though we have a much better hope through Christ and a promise of a future without pain and suffering.

The following verses will explain it all.

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2  The same was in the beginning with God.

Joh 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Col 1:15  Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 1:16  For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17  And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

John 3:16-For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not parish but have everlasting life.

That was not exactly the answer I was looking for but it is a factual answer. The two words I was looking for is "hope" and "faith". Even those before the cross had the hope of salvation through faith in the promises of God through the coming event of the shed blood of Christ.

Heb 11:13  These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Heb 11:14  For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
Heb 11:15  And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
Heb 11:16  But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

David is correct!!

(Sorry it took so long to get back here.  I'm still having bronchitis issues and just not feeling well.)

Hello Grammyluv,

Sister, I'm very sorry to hear about your continued illness. Many have had secondary problems and infections after the flu epidemic. This includes many on the forum who are in our prayers. This also includes most of the moderators and their families, including me and my family. I'll just give thanks that most of the illness hasn't been life-threatening. I do think that it would be wonderful for all of us to pray for each other. I'd like to add that many of us have some serious health problems without the flu. Many of our children and grandchildren are also sick, so this is a difficult time. May GOD be with all of us and restore us to health. We ask these things in the Precious Name of JESUS. Amen.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Pastor Roger,

I don't believe in coincidence. I was just thinking about GOD'S latest gift to you and your family. This is just something else to give thanks for. I've also been calling to check on my grandkids pretty frequently, and they don't have it either. My tiniest little guy is working on 9 months old now, and he isn't very tiny. In fact, he's one very big boy. He's just starting to walk, and he eats like a lumberjack.   ;D  Believe me, we will keep that boy's tank full.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Sister Yvette,

If I had any good advice other than prayer and trying to stay warm, I would take it myself. So, maybe I can at least give you a laugh. A guy goes to the doctor and says "doc, I broke my arm in three places." The doctor replied, "Don't go to those three places any more."

 :D  Okay, I know it's a groaner, but I've always thought this was funny. Some trips to the doctor these days are just about like this. I try to avoid the doctor when I think the answer will be something like "It's one of those things going around. Take some aspirin, go to bed, and try to drink plenty of fluids." I can tell that one to myself in the mirror and save the doctor bill. Of course, things are different when it's the kids or grandkids sick.

Hi Grammyluv:

Great having you back!!!  I will unite with the others in prayer for your family as well.

Post by: David_james on March 09, 2008, 09:33:41 AM
Name the book, chapter and verses.

In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s house will be the highest of all— the most important place on earth. It will be raised above the other hills, and people from all over the world will stream there to worship. People from many nations will come and say,

   “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
      to the house of Jacob’s God.
   There he will teach us his ways,
      and we will walk in his paths.”

For the Lord’s teaching will go out from Zion; his word will go out from Jerusalem. The Lord will mediate between peoples and will settle disputes between strong nations far away.
   
They will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer fight against nation, nor train for war anymore. Everyone will live in peace and prosperity, enjoying their own grapevines and fig trees, for there will be nothing to fear.
   
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has made this promise! Though the nations around us follow their idols, we will follow the Lord our God forever and ever.

Isaiah 2:3  And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Micah 4:2  And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

Rev. 21:
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Rev.21:
10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel

Esther 9:
3 And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.

Hi Guys!  I'm kinda relieved that there is still an unanswered question here.  I am off of work today and tomorrow but happened to be near a computer to check in.
I actually had minor surgery on my poor ol' big toe today so I'm experiencing quite a bit of pain and I'm supposed to stay off of it so I won't be logging for a day or two.
Reminds me of Huckleberry Finn asking Tom Sawyer, "You wanna see my sore toe?" (http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x125/luvmarley_bucket/cid_006701c66bbe0d2562b00900a8c0Dis.gif)

Hello Grammyluv,

I sympathize with you. I almost broke a little toe completely off once, and I couldn't believe the amount of pain involved. I do still have it, and I learned pretty quickly to do what the doctor told me to do. Getting on it at all hurt for hours. It really would have been less painful to just snip it the rest of the way off and duct-tape the area.   ;D

Take care of yourself and get to feeling better.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Judah

(Jdg 1:8 KJVR)  Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.

I too pray for your quick recovery from your past problems.

I know it has been sometime since I was here last, we all have some sort of trials and tribulations in our lives. And thank the Lord for them as it just helps us to trust in Him for all our needs, as He will take care of them, and we get to know Him more personally.

Until the next question.
Have a wonderful Resurrection day

Troas
A seaport of Mysia, in Asia Minor.

(Act 16:8 KJV)  And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

(Act 16:9 KJV)  And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

(Act 16:10 KJV)  And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

When I managed to find the phrase " new heaven and a new earth" in Revelations chp. 21.  I didn't even think of the throne. What came to my attention was verse 3: where John said "I heard a great voice out of heaven" and I stopped reading so to speak, which is not a good thing, as after your post with the answer you were looking for I finished reading the rest of 21 and sure enough right there in 21:5 is "he that sat upon the throne said".

 But as you said the throne is in heaven, so I can say thank you Lord for your precious words whether it comes from your great throne or right out of your wonderful home in heaven, which all who trust and obey will be our home one day too.

 26.  Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.

 27.  This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.

I'm glad to see that I didn't leave anyone hanging for too long!  Missed two days of work due to the flu or something close to it, and then I had my two days off and just got back tonight!  Living in a "community" setting really keeps the germs and bugs active!  Good Grief.  I still have about two months, maybe a little less, before I move into my own apartment again.  You may all remember me telling you that the mission owns some apartments near by that they rent to employees.  It's one of those that I'm waiting for.  (for those that don't know, I work at an inter-city mission for homeless women and children)  I actually could move in now but I would have to take a bottom floor apt but the way they are built into the hill, it would be like living in a "basement" apt with not much light and no view.  However....waiting for the one on top, I will have my own deck and beautiful view of the city, the space needle, etc.!!
I know, I know, ....all you "country boys" are going to write and tell me about the beautiful view of the countryside you have, or desert, as the case may be.  I've lived in places like those too and actually prefer them, but if you've got to live in the city, it's nice if you can have the view!

Answer:  Hanniniah

Jeremiah 28:1-17

 1And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

 2Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

 3Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:

 4And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the LORD: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

 5Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD,

 6Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD's house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.

 7Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people;

 8The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.

 9The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.

 10Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it.

 11And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

 12Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

 13Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.

 14For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.

 15Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.

 16Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD.

 17So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

Answer:  The Church of the Corinthians

1 Corinthians 6:1-11

 1  Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?

 2  Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

 3  Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

 4  If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

 5  I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?

 6  But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

 7  Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

 8  Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.

 9  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

 10  Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

 11  And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

1 Samuel 24:14

(1Sa 24:16 KJV)  And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.

(1Sa 24:17 KJV)  And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.


I also find somewhat the same answer in
(1Sa 26:20 KJV)  Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.

(1Sa 26:21 KJV)  Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.

apothecary [Strongs]7543 = A primitive root; to perfume: - apothecary, compound, make [ointment], prepare, spice.

I had to look up what the word apothecary, was before I understood this verse
What is strange is I have walked into apothecary shops and never stopped to learn the meaning of this word.
  How we do learn and grow through reading Gods word.
Thank you for posting these trivia questions, it makes it more enjoyable .



 
(Ecc 10:1 GNB)[GNB =Good news Bible]   Dead flies can make a whole bottle of perfume stink, and a little stupidity can cancel out the greatest wisdom.

I am an old vietnam war vet, so, some nights I don't sleep well due to health problems(not due to the service) I have Parkinson's, heartby-pass, and spinal surgeries that left me with severe stenosis and pain.
I also pick up my wife of 40years now from her place of employment, which usually is not until the late hours of the evenings.
Now with that all said, I find this a place of enjoyment during those late hours, so, once again Thank you so very much.

I'll give someone else a chance at the last question, I know this one right away, as we have just got done doing some Bible study concerning this person
"Who tore a lion apart with his bare hands" I'll just say 14:6 and leave it for someone else.

Hi and thanks Dave.  I'm sorry to hear about all of your issues but very happy to hear that you've been married to the same gal for 40 years!  Sounds like you're in the same boat as alot of the others on here that stay up all night and just get naps when they can.

I kinda thought this question might be too easy and thought maybe that was why it was being left.  But that okay to, maybe someone will learn something either way!

Alway a pleasure to see you here!

Thank you for understanding, and I will add just one more thing; which my Pastor has made mention of quite often after I told him that "regardless it is well with my soul"  from the Hymn "It is wel" and this scripture verse "(Isa 26:3 KJV)  Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
 As he said he has seen many others with the opposite mind set and imply the "Woe on me"

Enough of that and it looks like I may as well answer the question

Samson
(Jdg 14:5 KJV)  Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.

(Jdg 14:6 KJV)  And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent [H8156] him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.

Answer:  Rizpah

2 Samuel 21:8-10 (King James Version)

8.  But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:

 9.  And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.


10.  And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.

ANSWER:  Doves

 Ezekiel 7:16

But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.

(http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x125/luvmarley_bucket/z.jpg)



This was a tuff one ,or at least I thought so. I came up with the Dove in verse 7:16. I had a bit of trouble trying to understand that Doves can be related to a moaning sound, until I found this cross verse  in  (Isa 38:14 KJV)  Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
Then I looked up "Mourn" Mourn
MOURN, v.i. [L. maereo.]

1. To express grief or sorrow; to grieve; to be sorrowful. Mourning may be expressed by weeping or audible sounds, or by sobs, sighs or inward silent grief.

Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep. Gen 23.

Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. Mat 5.

  Now it made sense to me

The Turtle Dove or Rain Dove is also called the Mourning Dove. Some misspell this as Morning Dove. It gets it's name from the mournful cooing sound it makes.

Thanks for the information PR, The spelling was proper in my bible, it was "Mourning", I think I was trying to think in the wat people use "Dove's" today, in making referrence to their loved ones, such as times I may call my wife my "Dove" as in love.

So as a mentined in my earlier posting and did some more reading, verse cross referrencing, and using the "Smith bible dictionary" did I come to understand.

Great answers and info folks!  Thanks!  I'll be back on Friday.  I have Wed and Thurs off and don't usually post on those days.
I just want to share something really cool with you all though.  Many of you know that I do intercity missions work.  The mission is in one of the worst crime and drug areas of Seattle.  Tonight my friend (and coworker) and I were standing outside.  One of the biggest drug dealers in the area approched us.  (This is one big bad dude and we weren't sure what he wanted.)  As it turned out we got to witness to him and he even cried!  He shared some of his story with us and said, "I don't want to be like this."  It was absolutely amazing! 

We are praying that God will water the seed that was planted tonight, because we all know that God is in the business of changing lives.  No matter who you are, where you're from, or what you've done.  It's never too late!
AMEN!

Some of the best witnesses for the Lord have been individuals involved in some prior criminal activity. Yes, God can change the hearts of men. One of the most well known apostles was a man that tortured and killed many Christians before being called to the Lord's service.

I will include this person in my prayers.

ANOTHER AMEN GRAMMYLUV!

I will also keep this person in my prayers. GOD still does exactly as HE please in Heaven and on Earth, so I will pray that this drug dealer does yield himself for GOD'S Use. The life of the Apostle Paul is one of my favorite TRUTHS, but GOD has used countless others in mighty ways. A dear friend of my family spent time in Huntsville for murder, but he yielded himself for GOD'S Use, and GOD used him for a prison ministry the rest of his life. Our dear brother is home with the LORD now, and I feel quite certain that he heard, "Well done - good and faithful servant." Love of GOD can become a powerful force in our lives to reach the lost. We must know that it's GOD'S POWER - not ours, so GOD gets all of the GLORY.

The Apostle Paul called himself the "Chief of Sinners". Paul hunted, persecuted, and killed Christians before his conversion. The best of those without CHRIST are no better than the WORST of those without CHRIST. GOD does have the power to change and use all of us, so this is another matter for thanks and praise to GOD.


Love In Christ,
Tom

ANOTHER AMEN GRAMMYLUV!

This reminds me of the "Starfish story"
The Starfish Story
adapted from The Star Thrower
by Loren Eiseley (1907 - 1977)

Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.

One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.

He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"

The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean."

"I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man.

To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die."

Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!"

At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "It made a difference for that one."


This story has appeared all over the web in various forms, usually with no credit given to Mr. Eiseley. Sometimes it is a little girl throwing the starfish into the ocean, sometimes a young man, once even an elderly Indian. In any form it is a beautiful story and one that makes you think.

Loren Eiseley was a anthropologist who wrote extensively. He was the 'wise man' in the story, and he was walking along a beach after a storm and encountered the fellow throwing the starfish back. I have not had a chance to read the original book yet myself but will post more background info here after I do.

Today my friends, you get 3 for the price of 1 !  ;D  But I'm going to give you the books that the answer is in...

Who buried Stephen?  (Acts)

Who buried Abraham?  (Genesis)

Who buried Isaac?  (Genesis)



(http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x125/luvmarley_bucket/z.jpg)

There is a prize with this one!  I'm going to warn you what it is though, because it may be the deciding factor of if you really want to try!
The prize is that you get to see a picture of me!  Sometimes I think it is fun to see what the person you talk to each week, looks like.  So if you're curious.....stay tuned!



Hi Folks!  We are still waiting on the second two answers to this 3 parter.  No rush though.  I basically just wanted everyone to know that after tomorrow I will be on vacation.  I will be back next Monday evening.
And just where am I going you ask?....Camping!  One of my most favorite things in the world!  Yippee!

I'll answer the next 2 questions:

Who buried Abraham?: Isaac & Ishmael--

(Gen 25:8 KJVR)  Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.

(Gen 25:9 KJVR)  And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;


Who buried Isaac?: Esau & Jacob--
 
(Gen 35:29 KJVR)  And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

May the Lord be with you and keep you safe during your travels on your vacation.
Enjoy your camping vacation.

Thanks Dave! 
Well this is my first night back from vacation.  My grandson and I had a wonderful time out in the woods with other various and sundry relatives!  Of course when I get out there, most times I've got to be dragged back, kicking and screaming, to the city...

Just a note...I probably won't be on here much for the next 2 weeks, maybe less.  After tonight I won't work another evening until Friday and then I will be moving a week from Wed. and I took some days off to do that.

However.....for tonight.....a picture of me....as promised!

Great picture!

I'm glad to hear you had a good time camping. I haven't been on a real camping trip since I was eighteen. Just me, my horse, dog and the stars. I didn't even have a tent back then. I've been on one of those "camping trips" where you stay in an old log cabin a number of times since then but it just isn't the same.

I love my tent!  It's just a small dome but it's room enough for me and my grandson (or just me on occasion) and I can put it up myself.  Miss Independence here.  I have graduated to a blow up mattress and camp stove though.  Gone are the days of sleeping on the ground and cooking over/in a fire.  I allow myself a few creature comforts these days but not much!!  ;D

Hello GrammyLuv,

I'm happy to hear that you had such a good time camping. You probably needed that break before taking on the moving. It's been a long time since I did any moving, AND I DIDN'T LIKE IT.  I would rather be attacked by aliens than move.   ;D

Hello GrammyLuv,
Thanks for the photo.
 I too am glad that you and your grandson enjoyed the camping trip. As for moving I will pray for you, the last time I and my family moved was in '82; and I surely would not want to move again., unless it was directed by our Lord and Saviour.

Hello everyone, Sorry I have not been around, we had very very strong winds due to tornado's that were here on Sunday and we lost power.  We just got it back last night so I will try and be here more often. 
Preciuos2God;  I trust that all is well with you; I pray for you and anyone else that are being affected by the "Tornado's"

Just 5 more night here at the mission!  I'm moving Wednesday!  And I can't wait.  It will be a very smooth move though.  All of my stuff is in storage right next door to my new place and I will have about 4 guys from one of our men's missions moving it for me.  All I have to do is unpack.  Since I had quite a bit of warning when I packed up in the first place I was able to take my time and label everything!  I've moved many, many, many times but this will be the easiest!

Okay....everyone ready for a triva question??

Seeing as how I hijacked your thread for a little fun I'll get it back on topic.

"Who built ancient Babylon?"

Babylon was originally known as Babel and was built by Nimrod.

Gen 10:8  And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
Gen 10:9  He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
Gen 10:10  And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.


"Who rebuilt Babylon on a grand scale?"

Although there are other Kings of Babylon mentioned prior to Nebuchadnezzar, it was Nebuchadnezzar that built Babylon back up to it's power.

Dan 4:28  All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
Dan 4:29  At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
Dan 4:30  The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

Very cool. 
I took some women to church this morning in the mission van and then treated them to burgers and fries!  Didn't start my shift until 2pm today and it has be so busy that it just flew by!  That's good news because I'm moving on Wednesday morning and I'm that much closer to having my privacy back!  Whoo Hoo!  And too, my little guy can start coming over again.  That's been the hardest part about staying here at the mission; not being able to have him with me.  I have to go to my daughter's house to spend the night, which is fine, but it's just not the same as having him all to myself!  When we're by ourselves we can do sneaky stuff that "mom" doesn't have to know about.  Like eating popcorn and peanut M&M's in grammy's bed while watching movies really late at night!  ;D

Good night PR (and the rest of yous)

Hello GrammyLuv,

I understand completely, and I'm happy for you. There is something about having some privacy that gets addicting. The older you get, the harder it is to do without. NO - I'm not making a joke about you getting old.   ;)

Just please be careful and not overdo things like lifting something too heavy, etc.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Before post the new Triva question, just wanted to announce that I am officially moved into my own place!  Whoohoo!  I am all unpacked, and have it decorated with all my pictures, wall quilts, etc., and I bought some new house plants to give it that homey feel.  Today is my first day back at work, but I sure would've enjoyed one more day of just resting and enjoying it!  Ah well.  I will have a short work-week since I had yesterday off, so that'll be nice.
Summer has finally hit Seattle too!  It's high 80's maybe even 90 out there today!  About time...
Stay tuned for the Triva Question!

there was two:

(Mat 26:60 KJVR)  But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

The 1st witness is mentioned as "This fellow" and the 2nd witness was a "High Priest"  who by his requiring Jesus to answer him, gave the High Priest cause to make this statment: 
(Mat 26:65 KJVR)  Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

Answer:  Jehu

2 Kings 10:18-28

 18  And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.

 19  Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

 20  And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.

 21  And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another.

 22  And he said unto him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.

 23  And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.

 24  And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him.

 25  And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.

 26  And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.

 27  And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.

 28  Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

Isaiah

(Isa 11:8 KJV)  And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

The “cockatrice” was a fabulous kind of serpent, supposed to be hatched from the egg of a cock. The serpent here designated is, doubtless, a species of the “adder,” more venomous,

Yes, the word cockatrice is usually attached to a supposedly legendary serpent with wings that hatches from a cocks egg.

The original Hebrew word used here is tsepha‛  tsiph‛ônîy. This is a word for a viper or adder that has a tongue that thrusts out as it hisses. It is not known exactly what kind of viper/adder was meant but it can be seen from the context of the verse that it is different and much more deadly than an asp.

(Gen 28:18 KJV)  And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.

(Gen 28:19 KJV)  And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.

What king of Assyria was murdered at worship by his two sons?

(2 Samuel, 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles)

Not only is this found in one of the books that you referenced but it is found in another.


2Ki 19:36  So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
2Ki 19:37  And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

Isa 37:37  So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
Isa 37:38  And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.


In Hebrew, the word "Sennacherib" means "man of sin"  and "Assyria" means "sin on the increase." (ironically, Sin was the name of the pagan Assyrian moon "god"). He was an Assyrian king who reigned about 705-681 BC. The son and successor of Sargon, Sennacherib is known to Bible History from when his massive army of about 200,000 men came against King Hezekiah of Judah and made the incredibly foolish mistake of arrogantly challenging and blaspheming God.

Sennacherib's own record of his invasion of Judah, which matches the Biblical account, has been found by archaeologists. The clay prism is now in the Oriental Institute Museum in Chicago. A translated excerpt from it:

    "Because Hezekiah, king of Judah, would not submit to my yoke, I came up against him, and by force of arms and by the might of my power I took forty-six of his strong fenced cities; and of the smaller towns which were scattered about, I took and plundered a countless number. From these places I took and carried off 200,156 persons, old and young, male and female, together with horses and mules, asses and camels, oxen and sheep, a countless multitude; and Hezekiah himself I shut up in Jerusalem, his capital city, like a bird in a cage, building towers round the city to hem him in, and raising banks of earth against the gates, so as to prevent escape ... Then upon Hezekiah there fell the fear of the power of my arms, and he sent out to me the chiefs and the elders of Jerusalem with 30 talents of gold and 800 talents of silver, and divers treasures, a rich and immense booty ... All these things were brought to me at Nineveh, the seat of my government."

What the Assyrian record stops short of recording however is their eventual defeat, not by Hezekiah's army, but by God: Isaiah 37:33-37

God called to Samuel

(1Sa 3:1 KJV)  And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.

(1Sa 3:2 KJV)  And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;

(1Sa 3:3 KJV)  And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;

(1Sa 3:4 KJV)  That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.

(1Sa 3:5 KJV)  And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.

(1Sa 3:6 KJV)  And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.

(1Sa 3:7 KJV)  Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.

(1Sa 3:8 KJV)  And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.

(1Sa 3:9 KJV)  Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

(1Sa 3:10 KJV)  And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.

(1Sa 3:11 KJV)  And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.

She was a Hellenistic Jewess, called Tabitha by the Jews and Dorcas by the Greeks.

Hmmmm, which of her names are you looking for?  ;D

There is only one name but rather two interpretations of the same name. Tabitha which also means Dorcas.


Act 9:36  Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.

Act 9:39  Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.

Act 9:11  And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

It is located in Damascus, Syria. The streets of Damascus were originally designed in a grid pattern. Under Roman rule this street was widened and straightened and turned into a colonnade street. Some of these columns of the colonnade are still in place. During Roman rule it was approx. 85 ft wide and was lined with shops on the covered porches of the buildings. Today it is much narrower due to buildings being added or replaced with ones of different size and the street is not as straight today as it was then.

Title: Re: Bible Triva
Post by: MangoMan on August 07, 2008, 11:36:53 AM
Ok... I know it was covered... Exodus 40:3 and Numbers 4:5... sometimes the vail of the covering... sometimes the covering vail

I know that the Ark of the Covenant has also been referenced as the Ark of the Testimony.

I believe it was a symbolic physical resting place of the Spirit of God.  I'm stretching again.  God doesn't need a resting place.  The people of Israel needed something to for lack of better words, carry God in.  Today, that place is in our "hearts" or as some would say "minds".  Biblically I've been told the heart and mind are one.  Not the beating heart of course, although some could be accused of thinking with that.

Ok, this is like trying to hit one of Charlie Hough's dancing knuckleballs...

I've seen reference to badger skins... but I believe that is a secondary covering... to me there is a difference between a skin and a vail... difference in texture and weight...  Numbers 4:5-6 seems to support that the primary covering vail was overlaid with the secondary covering of badger skins which were blue in nature.

Here's what I've learned about the badger skins though... or should I say porpoise skins...

Our translators seem to have been misled by the similarity in sound of the Hebrew tachash_ and the Latin _taxus, "a badger." The revisers have correctly substituted "seal skins." The Arabs of the Sinaitic peninsula apply the name tucash to the seals and dugongs which are common in the Red Sea, and the skins of which are largely used as leather and for sandals. Though the badger is common in Palestine, and might occur in the wilderness, its small hide would have been useless as a tent covering. The dugong, (pictured above), very plentiful in the shallow waters on the shores of the Red Sea, is a marine animal from 12 to 30 feet long, something between a whale and a seal, never leaving the water, but very easily caught. It grazes on seaweed, and is known by naturalists as Halicore tabernaculi.
(Source: http://netbible.org)


To be honest the secondary covering makes sense.  If it were a skin or hide of a badger or dolphin, it would overall protect the ark better than just a vail.  I believe the vail acted as a buffer between the skin and the ark though.

Ok, I had a college professor call me a masochist... in a good sense... I seemed to take the painful way in working out problems... I believe I done that here, because I have yet to put my mental fingers on what the coloring of the covering vail is.

I have struck out on this one.  You'll have to enlighten me.

Whew!

Ok, I had a college professor call me a masochist... in a good sense... I seemed to take the painful way in working out problems... I believe I done that here, because I have yet to put my mental fingers on what the coloring of the covering vail is.

I have struck out on this one.  You'll have to enlighten me.

Whew!



You have totally cracked me up this morning!  ;D  The way you write is like you are just a sitting here a talkin'!

NIV - Numbers 4:6 - Then they are to cover this with hides of sea cows, spread a cloth of solid blue over that and put the poles in place.

So the answer to the question:  What was the color of the cloth drapped over the ark of the covenant?: is blue!

Sorry it was so simple after all your hard work!  But thanks for putting a smile on my face!   ;D ;D ;D

It was a good scholarly attempt though and one that did bring us some good information.

Yes, it appears my attempts were snarled up in reading the KJV.  There's a website I like that has nine English versions that I can thumb between and have done so.  To my chagrin, the NIV does make more sense.  That said, I am amazed at what other Christian ministries have out there for reference.  I even found the Greek Bible online with study help.  I have had a semester or two of Greek a little ways back in high school, but alas I don't remember much for the website looks like Greek to me... duh!

I enjoy your Bible Trivia Ms. Grammyluv... and the occasional references to baseball, much to the amusement of the Charlie Brown fan.

Not to cause an argument here but a little more on the badger/sea cow comments. The KJV does use the word badger and the NIV does use sea cow. The original word in Hebrew here is "Tachash". This was a kind of wild beast. It was multi-colored and therefore it is translated in the Targum (the Aramaic translation) as sasgona (which means) delights and prides itself in its colors . The Egyptian root t-ch-s means "soft-dressed skin". Keep in mind that the Israelites had spent many years with the Egyptians prior to the building of the temple for the Ark of the Covenant.

In the Talmud:

Rabbi Yehudah said: It was a huge kosher animal in the desert, and it had one horn in its forehead, and its hide had six colors from which they made the curtains of the Tabernacle.

Rabbi Nehemiah said: It was a miraculous beast that was hidden away after it was used in the Tabernacle. Why was it necessary to create such a beast? It is written that the curtains of the Tabernacle were thirty cubits long. And it is written that the skins of the Tachash that were used for the curtains were also 30 cubits long. What animal hides are 30 cubits long? Rather it was a momentary miracle that was hidden away soon after it happened.
(Shabbat 28a,b)

So we see the variation of different animals from the badger to goat to antelope to giraffe and many more to include an unknown animal that is now extinct.

It is referred to 6 times in Exodus, 7 in Numbers and once in Ezekiel 16:10.

Post by: MangoMan on August 07, 2008, 05:21:50 PM
First off, don't take this as argumentative.  I dig intelligent conversation.

I will point out that was a quote from NetBible, not MangoMan about Tuchash.  I highlighted it and gave them the credit.  If you disagree with them go for it.  I figure they have researched it thoroughly, but then to, we are human and subject to failure.

I am curious why a mysterious beast would appear out of no where, be instrumental in the creation of the tabernacle, but not be clearly identified in the Bible, and then suddenly go extinct.  I would think something of that magnitude would have deserved a mention in the Bible... the mighty leviathan did.

I tend to lean more towards the sea cow or dugongs as the indigenous people have called them.  The NetBible source believes it was a translation error that resulted in the use of badger instead of sea cow.  If I were to go with your references to a mysterious desert beast with a precious skin of many colors and figured in the Tabernacle, why would have it been used in the making of sandals?  Ezek. 16:10  Wouldn't that have been degrading?

I guess I also am curious why naturalists would have given it a name of Halicore tabernaculi.  Noting history, which is subject to human error, people remember or pass down important pieces of information.  Yes, stories change with time, some become legends, others just nuggets of truth.

I am also aware of the Jewish tradition to embelish a story.  Far be it for a rabbi to not partake of embelishing a story as it is passed down.

Again, thoughtful deliberation.
Sincerely,
The MangoMan

Post by: MangoMan on August 07, 2008, 05:42:49 PM
I have researched this further, and have found that there is folklore about dugongs being mermaids.  I would think that someone would have to be sick or drunk to believe that the ugly beast in the watter was a beautiful mermaid.  Yet mermaid stories have been around for some time.

A Dictionary of the Bible By James Hastings, John Alexander Selbie has an interesting paragraph or two about the Badger.  It sounds like this is a mystery, one we have just stumbled onto, but has been debated for some time.

There are probably better things to deliberate on anyhow.

Sincerely,
The MangoMan

As you noted that was not your idea neither are these mine but rather the ideas f other scholars in the past.

One thought was, as your post mentioned, a single skin of a badgers couldn't cover the Ark. But if we look at the verse it states the cover was to be made of skins. That being plural means more than one so it could have been badger skins which were plentiful in the area and somewhat colorful also. Note I also mentioned the Talmud which is not necessarily always correct when compared to the Bible itself. My entire point was that no one really knows what animal this skin was taken from. It is not something that was described in enough detail in the Bible that we can tell today what it was and the Hebrew word tachash or anything similar to it is not currently used in connection with any animal that we know today. This same thing involves a number of other animals that are mentioned in the Bible and comes out to be different animals mentioned in different English versions of the Bible.


It sounds like this is a mystery, one we have just stumbled onto, but has been debated for some time.

This was my point also.

Violet: "You can do it, Charlie Brown...we're all behind you!"

Lucy: "That's right, Charlie Brown...we're with you... pitch it to im, boy! Strike Him out. You blockhead!"

Gang: "It's a high fly ball! Catch it Charlie Brown! Catch it and the championship is ours!"

"Have you got it, Charlie Brown?"
"Don't Miss It."
"Get under it Charlie Brown."

"Isn't this exciting?"
"What if he drops it?"
"If he drops it, let's all kick him!"

"If Charlie Brown catches this fly ball, we'll win the championship." "Just think of it...we'll be champions." "We'll all get our names in the paper."

"And they'll give a gold cup!" "And pins and buttons and pennants." "DON'T DROP IT!!!"

"It's Coming down!"


Charlie Brown: "If I catch it, we'll win the championship and I'll be the HERO! If I miss it, I'll be the GOAT! I can hear it now....'Charlie the Goat Brown!' Good Grief! How did I ever get into this?"

<the fly ball comes down, lands in Charlie Brown's glove....and drops out on the ground>

Gang: "AAUGH!"

"He dropped it." "WAAH!"

"Charlie Brown dropped the ball!" "We could have been champions!"

"Now we're Nothing...WHAAAHHH!"

Charlie Brown: "So I drop the fly ball and we lose the championship! I could have been the hero.... instead I'm the GOAT. The other team is carrying their manager home on their shoulders....Heros ride....Goats walk. I wanted so much to be the hero. But I always end up being the Goat! No matter how hard I try, I always end up being the Goat!"

Lucy: "BAAHAHHHH!"

Charlie Brown: "I had the ball right in my glove and I dropped it! But what am I? I'm the Goat! I'm Always the goat."

Snoopy: "BAAHHHHH!!"

Linus: "Don't feel bad Charlie Brown. So you dropped the ball and we lost the championship...It's not the end of the world....

BUT WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DROP IT!"
~~~~~

The "official" roster of Charlie Brown's team:

Pitcher and Manager:   Charlie Brown
Catcher:   Schroeder
1st Base:   Shermy
2nd Base:   Linus or Pig-Pen
3rd Base:   Pig-Pen
Shortstop:   Snoopy
Left Field:   Patty or Rerun
Center Field:   Frieda
Right Field:   Lucy

Over the years there were occasional changes to the lineup, in fact in the early days, Shermy pitched and Charlie Brown was found catching or in the outfield.

We have an employee at work and although she is a Christian, she is causing strife and division and some of that seems to be directed at me at this point in time.  Through this reading this morning I know that God has my back and I just need to keep on serving Him in humbleness and not try to repay evil for evil which of course where my flesh wants to go.  I'm just going to keep doing the next right thing and let my actions speak as to who I belong too!

I'm glad that you were comforted in such a manner. We never know when God will use the words we have said to help others even when we in our own mind may have meant it for another reason. This is the same thing in regards to our actions. sister, you know you are already in my prayers daily. I will include this person that is having and causing such problems for others. Yes, "like figure" can be in regards to us attempting to be as Christ, to allow His love shine through us to others.

The verse I am talking about is the one following the answer to your last question.

1Pe 3:21  The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

The words "like figure" in this instance is referring to Noah's Flood in comparison to the "Baptism" that saves us. Not the washing of the outside of the cup but that which washes the inside of the cup which is by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. As many rejected to heed God's word and accept His saving grace there are many that still do so now.

The verse I am talking about is the one following the answer to your last question.

1Pe 3:21  The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

The words "like figure" in this instance is referring to Noah's Flood in comparison to the "Baptism" that saves us. Not the washing of the outside of the cup but that which washes the inside of the cup which is by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. As many rejected to heed God's word and accept His saving grace there are many that still do so now.



Even though I didn't find the answer but found my answer I'm glad to see that I was on track.  I use the NIV study bible and so the wording is different but the meaning is the same.
Some don't care for the NIV but I've had this bible since 1988 and I can understand it.  I also read "The Way" when I'm just reading to read and not really doing a study.

The is a verse in the Way in Psalms 17, the last verse that reads in part, "as for me, my contentment comes in knowing all is well between us".  I just love that although when I first read it years ago, I was in the first struggling stages of my recovery.  I pondered this for a couple of weeks because I wanted so badly to be in that place where I knew that all was well between me and God.  After a couple of weeks God revealed to me that "all is well between us" each time I admit a sin and recieve His forgiveness, everytime I do the next right thing, everytime I listen to His instruction and carry it out to the best of my ability.  It was so simple but such a revelation to me!  I have always remembered that time it became so simply clear and recieved such comfort in it.

In Christ,
Yvette

It is always a wonderful moment when we are struggling with something to have the Lord open our eyes in such a way and to show us just how simple it actually is. We can and should Praise God daily for His wonderful mercies that He continually shows to us.

A two part question huh sister............. ;)

2  Kings 22:3,8 In the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent the court secretary Shaphan son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, to the LORD's temple, (E) saying, 8 Hilkiah the high priest told Shaphan the court secretary, "I have found the book of the law (J) in the LORD's temple," and he gave the book to Shaphan, who read it.

It has been awhile since I have answered any of the trivia questions, even though I read them pretty much every day and throughly enjoy both the questions and answers.  so I figured I would try and jump in tonight.
 
2 Corinthians 4:4
(2Co 4:4 KJVR)  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

I see that satan is not called "the god of this world" but he is called  "the prince of the power of the air" in Pauls letter to the christians in the church at Ephesians.

(Eph 2:2 KJVR)  Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

(Eph 2:3 KJVR)  Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

Matthew 10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

Matthew 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

Matthew 12:27  And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

Mark 3:22 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

Luke 11:15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.

Luke 11:18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.

Luke 11:19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Statistically, when people give 3 choices, they usually try to hide the correct answer in the midst of the group.  That said, my money's on Zephaniah.

From the King James Version, not that I'm a die-hard zealot of the KJV...

Zephaniah 1

 1The word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah. Zephaniah 1

 7Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.

 8And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.


LOL, now that I've got Grammyluv flustered about how she orders her choices, I must admit that my statement was in jest, a postulate at best.   :D  Statistics was an interesting class, but it kicked me around more than I liked.  It didn't help that I got sick that semester either.  Maybe I should go back through her posts on this thread and see if my statement is true.  Have a good day to everyone.  Thankfully Grammyluv can't rain hot coals on my head, although she does pray to the One who could.   8)

Okay, veer to the right now...

Amos 3:12
This is what the LORD says: "As a shepherd saves from the lion's mouth only two leg bones or a piece of an ear, so will the Israelites be saved, those who sit in Samaria on the edge of their beds and in Damascus on their couches. "

Football... are you talking about soccer people kick or that brown leather ball people kill themselves trying to move around a field?  No pain, no gain.

Now Grammyluv, NFL style football does take strenuous work and brilliant strategy to pull off.  Baseball is simple, you just hit a ball with a stick and run.  Having read some of your posts here, I believe you have a noggin that is not just a hat rack.   ;)  I believe you would make a good armchair football strategist if given the chance.

I have yet to find a job, but I have been busy looking for one, and using my time wisely at my church.  We just had a summer evening outreach concert.  Our pastor's son is a finger pickin' guitarist who enjoys playing Chet Atkins style music.  We had quite a few people come, and 49 people filled out our response cards.  I'm working on planning for our Fall Harvest Fest on October 25 this year.  I'm looking for fun but educational ideas.  If you might know of any, please start a thread in case other Christians are searching for ideas.

I have also been busy researching Rick Warren and the Emergent Church.  I felt challenged to after some discussions here on this forum.  Please pray for me in this endeavor.  It has scared me how far this emerging evil has progressed.  I will post or email people my work when I'm done.

As always, you are a delight.  Your church sounds like a lot of fun.  I love churches that offer fun activities for families!

I actually had a game called Armchair Quarterback and that is how I learned alot of the game.  It is not a bad game, just seems to be more huddling than playing.  While there does seem to be some wrestling involved, maybe combining some kick boxing would give it some more flavor!  However being the sports fan that I am, I will certainly be rooting for our Seahawks.  My daugher is a Chicago Bears fan.  Her team usually does better than mine.  Oh well.......

And yes!  Amos 3:12 is correct!  No time to post another question as I have to get ready for work.  Praise our Good Lord for Fridays! (That would be Tuesdays for the rest of you!)

I will keep you in prayer, both on the job front and in your research.

Let's not diss football now. I owe a lot to football. In fact you could say I owe my life to football as well as the mercy of the Lord. You see I was always the smallest one in my grade level. I would have to play football in gym class against some very large guys that showed no mercy. In order to avoid bruises, broken bones and be able to keep my brains from being turned to mush I had to learn how to sidestep those big guys, how to jump over them, how to take them down without being taken down and how to run very, very fast away from them when the rest didn't work. My motto was "No Pain, Was Gain".  :D :D  All really good techniques that paid off during my time in the Navy.  :o :o

John 21:25-And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.


Precious!  How are you?!  I was just thinking about you yesterday as I posted the question and was wondering where you've been.  I hope you are well and that God is blessing your socks off!

In Christ,
Grammyluv

Herod

(Act 12:21 MKJV)  And on a certain day, Herod sat on his throne, dressed in royal clothing, and made a speech to them.

(Act 12:22 MKJV)  And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god and not of a man!

(Act 12:23 MKJV)  And immediately the angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory. And he was eaten by worms and gave up the spirit.

Hi Grammyluv, thank you for thinking about me, Starthing this week my schedule goes back to normal so I won't be gone everyday.  I'm back on my kids school schedule for work.  Things are okay.  I still would appreciate prayers for me and my family.  God is doing a work and it isn't alway easy when God speaks to your heart but things I need to learn and apply in my personal life, maybe I need to learn these things before other things work out.  god is faithful too and I'm so thankful for that.  I will try to be here more often :)

Revelation 3: 1-6

 1"To the angel of the church in Sardis write:
      These are the words of him who holds the seven spiritsof God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God. 3Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. 4Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. 5He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels. 6He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

There were 7:
1. Ephesus
2. Smyrna
3. Pergamum
4. Thyatira
5. Sardis
6. Philadelphia

What leper carried a letter from the king of Syria to the king of Israel?

(2 Chronicles, 2 Kings, 2 Corinthians)


(http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x125/luvmarley_bucket/z.jpg)

Naaman

(2Ki 5:1 ASV)  Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him Jehovah had given victory unto Syria: he was also a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.

(2Ki 5:5 ASV)  And the king of Syria said, Go now, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.

   The following is from the "Fausset" Bible dictionary:  Naaman

1. A son, i.e. grandson, of Benjamin (Gen_46:21; Num_26:40; 1Ch_8:4); reckoned in the Genesis genealogy as a "son" because he became head of a distinct family, the Naamites. Came down to Egypt with Jacob.
2. Naaman the Syrian (2 Kings 5). Identified by Jewish tradition (Josephus, Ant. 8:15, section 5) with the archer (1Ki_22:34) who drew his bow at a venture, and wounding Ahab mortally was Jehovah's instrument in "giving deliverance to Syria." Benhadad therefore promoted him to be captain of the Syrian host and the lord in waiting nearest his person, on whose arm the king leant in entering Rimmon's temple (compare 2Ki_7:2; 2Ki_7:17). "But (for all earthly greatness has its drawbacks) he was a leper," afflicted with white leprosy (2Ki_5:27). (For the rest, see ELISHA.) The case of Naaman was designed by God to shame Israel out of their half-heartedness toward Jehovah by a witness for Him the most unlikely. God's sovereign grace, going beyond Israel and its many lepers to heal the Gentile Naaman, Jesus makes to be His justification for His not doing as many miracles in His own country as He had done in Capernaum, an earnest of the kingdom of God passing from Israel to the Gentiles; Luke the physician (Luk_4:23-27) appropriately is the evangelist who alone records it.

I also think of how "Matthew Henry's commentary" writes his thoughts on (2Ki 5:2 ASV)  And the Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maiden; and she waited on Naaman's wife.
 This little maid, though only a girl, could give an account of the famous prophet the Israelites had among them. Children should be early told of the wondrous works of God, that, wherever they go, they may talk of them.

If our children are to learn about GOD, we must teach and show them the way.
How long does it take for someone not to know GOD?, one generation is all.

 a ship of Alexandria:

(Act 28:11 KJV)  And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.

The 3 months is when Paul and the crew of the ship they was sailing was ship wrecked on the island of Melita.

I see with interest in Acts 27 that the ship Paul was on was also a ship of Alexandria:
(Act 27:5 KJV)  And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
(Act 27:6 KJV)  And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.

After reading the next few verses one has to wonder if Simon was a true Christian:
Act 8:18  And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
Act 8:19  Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
Act 8:20  But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
Act 8:21  Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.

he didn't even pray to our Lord Jesus for repentance as he asked Peter to pray for him instead.

Act 8:21  Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. 


That's a good point and I didn't think he could've really been saved either.  Of course just being baptized with water doesn't make a person saved. 

John 1: 33 says:
33I would not have known him, except that the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is he who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.'

and John 3:5
5Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit

So Simon evidently was going through the outward motions.

he didn't even pray to our Lord Jesus for repentance as he asked Peter to pray for him instead.
(Act 8:24 KJV)  Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.


I'm thinking that Simon just didn't get it.  Before Christ's death and in those days people didn't pray directly to God.  The priests did it.  So Simon was still in that mode probably.  If he had gotten the message and been born of the Spirit I assume he would've known.
Got anything to add PR?

A queen of Ethiopia.

(Act 8:26 KJV)  And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.

(Act 8:27 KJV)  And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

After doing a little studing on the queen of the Ethiopians, I see that the name Candace is just a title and not an actual name of a person used in this verse.
one commentary has:
 Under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. Candace had her seat of power on the island of Meroe, a large island of the Nile, about a thousand miles from the mouth of the river. The name Candace seems to have belonged to several queens of this kingdom. It is still seen inscribed on the ruined palace walls of Meroe.

This is pretty much correct. The word Candace, pronounced Kan - duh - see, is seen through archeology as being an entire line of queens. Some consider it a title like Pharoah yet others think it may have been a family name.

Gideon:
(Jdg 6:19 KJV)  And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.

(Jdg 6:20 KJV)  And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.

(Jdg 6:21 KJV)  Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.

Samson?

(Jdg 15:16 KJV)  And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.

(Jdg 15:17 KJV)  And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi.

(Jdg 15:18 KJV)  And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?

(Jdg 15:19 KJV)  But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.

Enhakkore: does this mean or has the interpretation of "The spring of the caller"

A bit of a misleading question considering that it was not a well but rather a fountain that came out of the jaw bone itself.

Enhakkore basically means a fountain called forth.

The Sadducees

Luke 20:27-38

27 Then some Sadducees stepped forward—a group of Jews who say there is no resurrection after death. 28 They posed this question: “Teacher, Moses gave us a law that if a man dies, leaving a wife but no children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will be the brother’s heir.* 29 Well, there were seven brothers. The oldest married and then died without children. 30 His brother married the widow, but he also died. Still no children. 31 And so it went, one after the other, until each of the seven had married her and died, leaving no children. 32 Finally, the woman died, too. 33 So tell us, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? For all seven were married to her!”
34 Jesus replied, “Marriage is for people here on earth. 35 But that is not the way it will be in the age to come. For those worthy of being raised from the dead won’t be married then. 36 And they will never die again. In these respects they are like angels. They are children of God raised up to new life. 37 But now, as to whether the dead will be raised—even Moses proved this when he wrote about the burning bush. Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had died, he referred to the Lord* as ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’* 38 So he is the God of the living, not the dead. They are all alive to him.”

They barricaded themselves in and climbed up to the roof of the tower. 52 Abimelech followed them to attack the tower. But as he prepared to set fire to the entrance, 53 a woman on the roof threw down a millstone that landed on Abimelech’s head and crushed his skull. 54 He said to his young armor bearer, “Draw your sword and kill me!

(Isa 20:2 KJVR)  At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

"Matthew Henry's commentary"
Isa 20:1-6 
Isaiah was a sign to the people by his unusual dress, when he walked abroad. He commonly wore sackcloth as a prophet, to show himself mortified to the world. He was to loose this from his loins; to wear no upper garments, and to go barefooted. This sign was to signify, that the Egyptians and Ethiopians should be led away captives by the king of Assyria, thus stripped. The world will often deem believers foolish, when singular in obedience to God. But the Lord will support his servants under the most trying effects of their obedience; and what they are called upon to suffer for his sake, commonly is light, compared with what numbers groan under from year to year from sin. Those who make any creature their expectation and glory, and so put it in the place of God, will, sooner or later, be ashamed of it. But disappointment in creature-confidences, instead of driving us to despair, should drive us to God, and our expectation shall not be in vain. The same lesson is in force now; and where shall we look for aid in the hour of necessity, but to the Lord our Righteousness?

Amazing, isn't it, that you can hardly pick up a paper or go to a news website and almost daily/weekly you can read an article about a kid shooting their parents, or a parent harming/killing their own child.  I saw one just the other day where a teenager had killed his parents and his two younger brothers.  I was reading so much of it that a few months ago, I just quit going to the "crime"sections because I would come away physically sick.
Just another sign that we truely are living in the end times when you add it all up.

(http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x125/luvmarley_bucket/z.jpg)

100

(Mat 18:12 KJVR)  How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
(Mat 18:13 KJVR)  And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
(Mat 18:14 KJVR)  Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

also in Luke the Lord goes into more detail into explaining the need and the joy that comes from finding the 1 that is lost
(Luk 15:4 KJVR)  What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

(Luk 15:5 KJVR)  And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

(Luk 15:6 KJVR)  And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

(Luk 15:7 KJVR)  I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

(Luk 15:8 KJVR)  Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?

(Luk 15:9 KJVR)  And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

(Luk 15:10 KJVR)  Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

just a personal thought here:
What a blessing we have as being like that sheep, for if we should happen to go astray, we have the Holy Spirit that will seek us out no matter where we are and bring us back into repentance; so that we will be walking again on the pathway to our final destination in Heaven.

15When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."

21 Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the Lord opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind. The wind blew all that night, turning the seabed into dry land. 22 So the people of Israel walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on each side!

Forty two

fornication

(1Corinthians 5:1 KJVR)
         
It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.

(1Co 5:1 GW)  Your own members are aware that there is sexual sin going on among them. This kind of sin is not even heard of among unbelievers-a man is actually married to his father's wife.

You would be right in that all sexual sin would be the result of not worshipping God.  The verses below are what I was actually looking for though.  Great job again Dave and thanks for being so faithful in answering these!  I do wish more folks would jump in on this but I know that I can always count on you!
In Christ,

Romans 1:21-27
    21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal human beings and birds and animals and reptiles.

    24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

    26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

Paul, newly converted to Christianity, enraged the Jewish leaders in a certain city, so they decided to murder him.  His friends let him down in a basket through the city wall.  What city was it?

(Exodus, Acts, Romans)


(http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x125/luvmarley_bucket/z.jpg)



Damascus

(Act 9:22 KJV)  But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.

(Act 9:25 KJV)  Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.

Paul also speaks of this while  he was in the church of Corinth

(2Co 11:32 KJV)  In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:

(2Co 11:33 KJV)  And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.

What is more amazing is that he was originally on his way to Damascus to persecute  any of the Lord's disciples that he could find there, and our Lord Jesus appeared to him.

(Act 9:1 KJV)  And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

(Act 9:2 KJV)  And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

(Act 9:3 KJV)  And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

(Act 9:4 KJV)  And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

(Act 9:5 KJV)  And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

(Act 9:6 KJV)  And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

  I reckon we could keep right on with this and about Paul's conversion, so I better just leave off here and anxiously await the next question.

Test your Bible skills!

Can you find the names of 25 books of the Bible in this paragraph? This is a most remarkable puzzle. Someone found it in the seat pocket on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping himself occupied for hours. One man from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john boat. Roy Clark studied it while playing his banjo. Elaine Victs mentioned it in her column once. One woman judges the job to be so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help calm her nerves. There will be some names that are really easy to spot...that's a fact. Some people will soon find themselves in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. The truth is, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or scholar to see some of them at the worst. Something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have. Those able to find all of them will hear great lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation may help, books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. And punctuation or spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete. Remember, there are 25 books of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph.

(http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x125/luvmarley_bucket/z.jpg)

Sulfur/Brimstone:

(Rev 19:20 GW)  The beast and the false prophet who had done miracles for the beast were captured. By these miracles the false prophet had deceived those who had the brand of the beast and worshiped its statue. Both of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.

(Rev 19:20 KJV)  And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.


I have been somewhat[health wise] laid up, and just had not been on here for awhile. But,!! PRAISE THE LORD!! I can still and until the time my Saviour calls me home, I can truly and with a joyful heart, say "It is well with me Soul"

 All I can say here is I have smelled burning sulfur and it is not nice, just like rotten eggs, it does. Also I have the memory and can still smell what burning flesh smells like. When I was in Viet-Nam we had an APC that took a direct hit with an incenderary RPG, all eleven died as the APC burned.
Thank you Jesus for my salvation, and I know I wont have to face or know the second death.
Amen!!!

A little more on this. Brimstone means a burning stone and sulphur which now defines a specific substance originally meant "to burn." The Greek word here is theion which in it's original sense meant "flashing" or "sudden hot bursts of light or flames." Sulphur is used here because it is known to "flash" when exposed to extreme heat. theion is used in other places to mean "divine" as in a divine thing.

In any of these situations we can be sure that it isn't pleasant.

Hello Brother Dave,

I'm sorry to hear that you've been having a health problem. You will be in our prayers. This Christmas was a pretty rough time for many, including many of the sweet Christians who fellowship here with us. Some of our friends and family members have also gone home to be with the LORD. As for the rest of us, who knows when JESUS CHRIST will catch us up to GLORY?

Love In Christ,
Tom

Hello and welcome to Christians Unite forums. I hope that you enjoy your time here. I do look forward to having some great Christian fellowship with you.

I don't know which post in this thread that you are referring to. However, there are many that do consider Abraham as being the first prophet. Yet others will claim that it was Enoch and yet others even place Adam in this list. When speaking of the major prophets it is considered that Isaiah was the first and in the minor prophets it was Hosea.

The first use of the word prophet in English versions of scripture is found in Gen 20:7 which is in fact referencing Abraham.

Hello Brother David,

This is the SECOND COMING OF CHRIST at the end of the Tribulation Period - A time when CHRIST crushes evil and reserves it for final judgment.

Love In Christ,
Tom

2 Corinthians 4:1-18 NASB  Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart,  2  but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.  3  And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,  4  in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.  5  For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus' sake.  6  For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.  7  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;  8  we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;  9  persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;  10  always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.  11  For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.  12  So death works in us, but life in you.  13  But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I BELIEVED, THEREFORE I SPOKE," we also believe, therefore we also speak,  14  knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you.  15  For all things are for your sakes, so that the grace which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God.  16  Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.  17  For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,  18  while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

How old was Jacob when Issac died?

The only reference to age that I can find is:  Genesis 26:34
When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and also Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.

Since Esau and Jacob were twins, Jacob would have been forty also, but there could've and probably was several years between this time and the time Issac was dying.
Does anyone else have any ideas?

I started with (Num 16:41 KJV)  But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD.

If I understand this, which I am not sure of getting it right, but I'll try and say "God first appeared at the tabernacle and told Moses and Aaron to separate themsleves from the rest of the congergation and then started a plague to consume the rest of those that complained"

I believe that if I was there when God opened the earth and swallowed up Korah and his followers, I think the last thing I would do would do is complain and not think God would do the same to me.

I seem to be having trouble getting what I am trying to say in words. So I was actually waiting for someone else to answer it. All I can do here is ask the "Lord" to forgive me.

 I found the answer in 1 Kings 19:12-13 which is Elijah: (1Ki 19:12 KJV)  And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
 (1Ki 19:13 KJV)  And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
If I got this one right too, Elijah went into hidding because he feared that Jezebel was out to kill him ?

Hooray!  Brother Dave!  Yes excellent answers!  And I would have to agree with your statement above too!  The Israelites had many hard lessons to learn and still kept turning from God all throughout their history.  I actually have to say that my history is much like theirs in that way.  I had many hard lessons to learn before I finally turned my life over to Him once and for all.  And yet still I will find myself wanting to things my way instead of His.  The difference now is that I realize what I'm doing much faster and therefore the Father can be much gentler with the consequences and direction!  I can be such a hard head.

1When the LORD brought back the captive ones of Zion,
         We were like those who dream.
    2Then our mouth was filled with laughter
         And our tongue with joyful shouting;
         Then they said among the nations,
         "The LORD has done great things for them."
    3The LORD has done great things for us;
         We are glad.
    4Restore our captivity, O LORD,
         As the streams in the South.
    5Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting.
    6He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed,
         Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.

Where did a follower of Jesus escape an angry mob by running away naked?

(http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x125/luvmarley_bucket/z.jpg)

in the Garden of Gethsemane:
I think we need to read the events leading up to this happening, which starts in Mark 14: 32 in order to find the answer
As this came about when Judas betrayed our Lord Jesus in the Garden.
(Mar 14:51 KJV)  And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:

(Mar 14:52 KJV)  And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.


 After reading some of the commentaries regarding this incident, I am a bit puzzled ; of coarse I think it does not matter who it was because the main event taking place is the beganning of Christ's arrest and passion. 
Some say it may have been Mark or John, but it also mentions that he may have been the owner of the Garden itself and not one of the Disciples at all.

Would anyone care to help me understand who it may have been.

The book of Mark is the only account given of this person and it is quite evident that it was unknown even to Mark who this young man was. Mark does tell us that this young man was "following Jesus." We have seen throughout the gospels where people frequently followed Jesus from one place to another. This young man probably was one these people. The main point here is this young man was going to be arrested as a follower of Jesus and he ran away.

Hello Grammyluv,

You are doing a beautiful work for GOD, and many pray for you and many like you every day. If you did nothing more than provide food, clothing, and shelter for those in need, it would still be a beautiful work for GOD. However, we know that you are trying to do more, and the MORE is ETERNAL. Sister, we are praying for you every day.

Title: Re: Bible Triva
Post by: Soldier4Christ on March 22, 2009, 01:29:14 PM
Nope, I don't want to take it either but I will freely give an answer.  ;)

Mal 3:8  Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
Mal 3:9  Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

The people of Judah were not giving their tithes according to the law. Instead they were spending them on their own selfish desires. We are no longer required to tithe. However we are told to willfully give to God's work and to help the poor according to that which God has placed on our hearts to do so. We see many that profess to be Christians today that own massive, expensive houses, cars, and some even luxury yachts yet they don't give a dime to the actual works of God nor to the poor. These people are doing the same thing that the people of Judah did and the result will be the same for them.

AMEN!

I just wanted to mention that I've met many people in my life who had close to nothing, and they gave their labor to the LORD.

I'm thinking about an exceptionally strong Christian woman right now who spent her fortune in feeding, clothing, and sheltering those who had nothing. One of the requirements for staying in one of her shelters was participation in Bible Study. A second requirement was work - completing daily tasks in the facilities that would benefit all staying in the facility. This beautiful lady is a one woman Christian Army who convinced many to join her army. She did the longest and hardest work of her life in her 60s and 70s. She literally did spend her fortune, and she worked countless hours with some pretty rough folks in all hours of the day and night 24/7. Police officers were concerned for her safety and tried to check on her frequently. However, she spoke with the confidence of a Marine Drill Sargent, and I don't remember anyone ever trying to harm her. She taught many to give to others, even when they had nothing to give but time and labor.

Love In Christ,
Tom

1 A man named Micah lived in the hill country of Ephraim. 2 One day he said to his mother, “I heard you curse the thief who stole eleven hundred pieces* of silver from you. Well, here they are. I was the one who took them.”
“The Lord bless you for admitting it,” his mother replied.

Hi, I am new to this forum and caught the very first post of this thread. Sorry I am so late to play.

The first post asked who the first prophets was, and the given answer was Abraham.

Although the first time someone is called a prophet was Abraham, there are apparent prophets before him.

In naming Noah, Lamech makes a prophecy: Ge 5:29  "And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed." And Noah gave the earth a type of rest as his name signifies, but it was a prophecy of Christ giving us rest through the cross.

Before this Adam prophesies:

Gen 2.24  Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Eph 5.31  For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32  This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church

It is apparent that Paul considers Adam to have spoken a prophecy about Christ. Which makes him a prophet who was earlier than Abraham.

Now if you consider that source theory of P.J. Wiseman, the author of Gen 1 was someone before Moses, and the first prophecy is contained in a riddle of Gen 1.1.

In the beginning... since Christ is the alpha and omega, the riddle starts with "In Christ"

Elohim has a pun which means "the not dark" Since Christ is the Light, according to John, Elohim is replaced with Christ.

The word created also has a second meaning of 'cut down' when vowels (which were added much later) are ignored.

And in other riddles which intertwine with this one we discover that "heavens and earth" represent the dual nature of Christ as God and man.

So if the riddles are real, the first prophecy says: In Christ, Christ cut down the dual-natured Christ.  Riddles are the domain of children and kings, and this first riddle summarizes the whole of the Bible very well, and may make the author of Genesis 1 the first prophet although he isn't mentioned. which may disqualify him as the answer to the first question.

But Adam should get the prize.  ;-)

WELCOME!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy Christians Unite.

There are numerous possible translations from the ancient languages used to write the Holy Bible. That's just one reason why we must put portions of Scripture in context and expend more effort in Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth. I personally wouldn't call anything in the Holy Bible a riddle, but I think that I know what you're trying to say. God is known by many Holy Names throughout the Bible, but they all boil down to the Holy and Eternal Godhead - GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT. The Three are unique - YET ONE ALMIGHTY GOD with no beginning and no ending.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJV  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  (17)  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.


Isaiah 28:9-13 KJV  Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.  (10)  For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:  (11)  For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.  (12)  To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.  (13)  But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.


Love In Christ,
Tom

Thanks for the welcome Tom.

Quote
I personally wouldn't call anything in the Holy Bible a riddle,

The reason I look for riddles is because God says he speaks in riddles, and even ties his glory to hiding things. Consider these passages, the word for "dark sayings" is the word for riddle:

Nu 12:8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches <02420>; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
Ps 49:4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying <02420> upon the harp.
Ps 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings <02420> of old:
Pr 1:6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings <02420>.
Da 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences <02420>, shall stand up.

Pr 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Riddle is a literary form as much as metaphor and poetry.  But Proverbs 1 says that the wise seek to understand the riddle,

When Jesus showed Peter where the scriptures said he must die, and when he showed the disciples on the road to Emmaus where all the scriptures spoke of him, and when he taught in the temple at age 12, he was showing them things which were not discernible using literal, grammatical, historical methods. otherwise they would not have been hidden.

Where is the cross reference for Jesus being called a Nazarene? Where is the cross reference where the scriptures teach that marriage does not endure to the resurrection?  These are not found in the literal, but are easy to see in the prophetic riddle.

Hello SP,

Welcome to CU forums.

Personally I wouldn't call these things riddles either although I can understand the use of the word in the context of something difficult to understand. I suppose that it is due to the more common use of the word riddle as a word game and my refusal to consider any portion of God's word as being a game of any sort. There is a valid reason why God does not make His word to be completely clear in some situations and I would prefer to leave out any indication of calling it a game as being the reason.



Title: Re: Bible Triva
Post by: SensusPlenior on August 14, 2009, 05:57:02 PM
Well, we are using an English word for Hebrew and Greek words. Alternatives are "shadows" as in Heb 10.1, "dark sayings" as the King James uses, "mysteries" as used by the apostles,  "hard saying" as when Jesus spoke of drinking his blood.

The nature of them is very much like riddle though, in that the answer cannot be derived from the information contained in the riddle. There is a trick answer or a solution that can only be known after the fact.  Prophecy itself has this riddle nature.

The example of Gen 1.1 is easily dismissed as invention or accident until you recognize that whole chapters can be unpacked in such a fashion and they always have a picture of Christ.

Gen 38 contains a picture of the birth of Christ in great detail.

But perhaps we should start another thread if we want to discuss it?
