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?

Paul says: A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 7:39) The implication is that a person is bound to honour their marriage whilst their spouse is living, but if […]

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