John N. Oswalt gives the following suggestions in his commentary: The statement that the seraphim were calling to each other is probably an indication that the singing was antiphonal [i.e., ‘ alternate singing by two choirs or singers’1], but it may also be a way of saying that they were delighting with one another in the glory […]

Answered by BibleQ . June 20, 2014 - 12:23 am

To love one another, we have to have the mind of Christ. How do we have the mind of Christ? By thinking and acting like Jesus. How do we think and act like Jesus? By reading the commandments of Jesus; by meditating on Jesus and what he did/does; by applying Jesus’ values and ideals in […]

Does the Bible say that you are a ʺwidowʺ (and thus free to remarry) if your husband won’t provide for you?

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
