Who posed to Jesus a foolish riddle about a woman who was a widow several times over?

(Matthew, Mark, Luke, John)

[David_james]

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.”

What violent son of Gideon was killed by a woman who dropped a millstone on his skull?

(Exodus, 1 Samuel, Judges)

[David_james]

Judges 9:50-55

50 Then Abimelech attacked the city of Thebez and captured it. 51 But there was a strong tower inside the city, and the entire population fled to it. 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! Don’t let it be said that a woman killed Abimelech!” So the young man stabbed him with his sword, and he died. 55 When Abimelech’s men saw that he was dead, they disbanded and returned to their homes.

What prophet walked around naked for three years?

(Isaiah, Ezekiel, Amos)

[workinprogress]

What prophet walked around naked for three years?

(Isaiah, Ezekiel, Amos)

Isaiah
(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.
(Isa 20:3 KJVR)  And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;

"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?

Thank you Brother Dave.  Always good to see you here!

hi all i'm new to this is the game still going on?

[David_james]

Yes it is. Feel free to make questions yourself.

[HisDaughter]

Sorry I haven't been here in a few days.  It's been a busy week!  Here's your next question.....

In which Gospel did Jesus predict that children rebelling against their parents would be a sign of the end times?

[allaboutGod]

mark 13.12   Now brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.

[Soldier4Christ]

Again this is another one that is in more than one of the gospels. As allaboutGod said it is in Mark 13:12. It is also in:

Mat 10:21  And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

Luk 21:16  And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
