What was the mark that the Lord put on Cain so no one would kill him (Gen. 4:15)?

Answered by BibleQ . January 27, 2015 - 2:43 pm

We are not told any details about the mark God put on Cain. The word translated “mark” is used of the sign of the rainbow in Genesis 9:12-13 and the sign of circumcision in Genesis 17:11. Those two things were a physical sign, so it is likely the sign on Cain was a physical sign […]

What is humankind’s purpose on planet earth?

Answered by BibleQ . November 21, 2014 - 8:34 pm 1

God set humankind over His creation to be responsible for it. Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over […]

What travelled with and stood in the way of both Moses and Joshua?

Answered by BibleQ . November 5, 2014 - 11:54 pm

An angel travelled with both Moses and Joshua. We read of at least two occasions when the angel representing the LORD, appeared to Moses. The first time the angel of the LORD appeared to Moses was when he was a shepherd in Midian. Exodus 3:2-5 And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in […]

When a saved person dies, will his body go back to the dust and his spirit go to Paradise?

Answered by BibleQ . November 5, 2014 - 11:35 pm

Not quite. When a “saved person” dies, his body goes back to the dust and his spirit or breath goes back to God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:7 tells us this: Ecc 12:7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. We find one […]

What does “to make an atonement with him” mean in Leviticus 16:10?

Answered by BibleQ . November 5, 2014 - 10:59 pm

Does this refer to the laying of sins on the scapegoat (i.e., covering it with the sins of the people) and, if so, why should this be termed “to make an atonement with him”? Yes, I believe this referred to the laying of sins on the scapegoat. Leviticus 16:20-22 explains that Aaron put on the […]

If you were initially baptised in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Mat. 28:19) do you need to be re-baptised because you were not baptized in Jesus’ name (as per Acts 2:38)?

Answered by BibleQ . October 27, 2014 - 4:49 am

If I understood the question correctly, this is a question about the two differing descriptions applied to Christian baptism. Acts 2:38 talks about being baptised “in the name of Jesus Christ” whereas Matthew 28:19 talks about being baptised “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”. The question […]

How did God mix the languages of the people in Genesis 11:7?

Answered by BibleQ . October 27, 2014 - 4:31 am

And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand […]

Where is the verse saying someone “will receive a crown upon his appearing”?

Answered by BibleQ . October 27, 2014 - 4:22 am

You may be thinking of Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. (James 1:12) or Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the […]

Could the ages listed prior to the Flood contain the month of death also?

Answered by BibleQ . October 27, 2014 - 4:10 am

Full question: “Could the ages listed prior to the flood contain the month of death also? 1000 = 100 years and 0 months 965 = 96 and 5 months Then after flood the month was dropped” This is an interesting question and, as far as it goes, an ingenuous attempt at solving the perceived problem […]
