"And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?" Apparently, the religious people thought healing was working and didn't allow it? This brings up the interesting point that God can work on the sabbath day. We find this in Exodus...

People get kind of mixed up thinking that the term 'this generation' means a person's lifespan until the next offspring (like one biological reproductive cycle time period). Rather, I think the term more likely means 'this type of person', 'this group of persons', 'this kind of person'. Jesus...

"And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the...

Thanks Scribe. Yes, we simply disagree on what angels are it seems.

Thanks Scribe. In my view, this is saying that the son of Man (Jesus) was made a little lower than the believers when he was on the cross. The term angels means messengers and is a term denoting believers here, in my view.

Thanks crossnote. It is true that the term angel can also be used for those humans who are messengers from the other side. Good point. There are those Christians who are real ones and then there are those who are false ones. Can you find a scripture saying that angels are something other than...

Thanks crossnote, for noticing. I am saying that angels in the Bible are people whom God has saved (the saints, the true believers, God's people) whom God has quickened by His Spirit with His message and his ministry. However, the term also includes Jesus himself. Can you show me a scripture...

Genesis 6 talks about the sons of God taking wives of the daughters of men. This is talking about how true believers (who are the sons of God in the Bible) took wives of non-believers (which is parable language for believers mixing beliefs and ideas and spiritual things with non-believers ideas...

Thanks Myrtle Trees, for your input. I like that you notice that numbers, like other words in the Bible (that are not numbers), have a parable or representational meaning rather than a surface meaning. The Bible is written this way. In Psalm 78:2, we read that God opens his mouth in a parable...

"Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me." Romans 16:7 Junia is a woman's name, and yet she is apparently an apostle of note! The word apostle means 'sent'. Everyone who is saved, is in effect sent...

In my opinion, the two verses in the original question for this OP are talking about the same thing pretty much. They are saying that Christ preached unto the unsaved by the Holy Spirit. They talk about the days prior to the flood, but then mention how this is a figure pointing to the same...

"Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. " "Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah " Above are two verses which speak of those who are saved. They have their sins covered because Christ died for them...

Thanks Noose. I agree with what you have noticed and appreciate your sharing it. Thanks for sharing.

Since Jesus is the beginning and end, why is he also eternal, and where do the beginning and end fit into eternity?

What are some thoughts on this verse: "After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country."

In Genesis 48:16, we read: "The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth." I see this as meaning Jesus bless the lads, since God is the one...

In Hebrews 7, we find: "Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and...

Matthew 1:21 says, "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." I notice a lot of people on this site interpreting the phrase "his people" and "my people" as cultural Jews only. Jesus' people are so often seen as just...

Is the Bible necessary for a person to be saved, and what is the Bible for? Why did God give the Bible to humans?

Acts 27:22 says: "And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship." The ship is said to be of Alexandria (Egypt) going to Italy (means calf-like). Does the ship represent anything, or is it just a ship and nothing more? And why...
