Who are the twenty four elders that John foresaw? Jew or gentile?

Answered by BibleQ . October 24, 2011 - 4:33 pm

There are 5 references to the twenty four elders – Rev 4:4; 4:10; 5:8-10; 11:16; 19:4. Looking at Rev 5:8-10 NKJV: (8) Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the […]

Why did God allow the Gibeonites to put to death Saul’s sons?

Answered by BibleQ . October 23, 2011 - 11:51 pm

You also say: Why did God allow the Gibeonites to put to death seven of Saul’s sons? Were they participants in killing the Gibeonites? Also David seems to have only spared Mephibosheth only because he made an oath, and not for the fact that he was only five years old and did not participate in […]

How do other hominoids (e.g homo erectus, homo neanderthalensis, etc.) fit into Creation?

Answered by BibleQ . October 23, 2011 - 5:49 pm 5

There have been three ways of approaching this question. 1. The human-like remains predated Adam and Eve’s creation. Hominoids died out and are unrelated to modern humans. Strength: This idea allows a more or less literal reading of the creation record of Gen 1, 2 while at the same time attempting to reconcile it with […]

Is there scriptural reference to tithing money in the Old or New Covenant?

Answered by BibleQ . October 20, 2011 - 4:28 pm

You also comment: If Lev. 27:30-33 & Deut. 14:22-29 describes the Biblical tithe being of livestock, grain, & produce why is the church taught that the tithe is money even though money was used in those days but wasn’t something tithed on …. Is there scriptural reference to tithing money in the Old or New […]

What is the difference between working for God versus serving God?

Answered by BibleQ . October 19, 2011 - 9:55 pm

I don’t think there is any difference. 2 Cor 5:20-2 Cor 6:2 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. (21) For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might […]

Are you accountable for your church’s doctrine?

Answered by BibleQ . October 19, 2011 - 9:26 pm

You also ask: Is it true that if you’re in a church that doesn’t follow Christ’s doctrine correctly or step by step, the whole church & congregation is accountable? What’s the difference between the Church of Christ and all the other named churches? Baptist Church, Methodist Church, Seven Day Adventist Church, Christian Centers and Non-denominational […]

Can you reach a point where forgiveness is impossible?

Answered by BibleQ . October 19, 2011 - 8:26 pm

When we have died repentance is no longer possible. Some people may reach that stage even before they have physically died. Judas Iscariot could not be forgiven, not because his was a more outrageous crime than anyone else’s, but because Judas believed that God could not forgive him, or even worse, did not want God […]

Why in Romans 5:12 does it say sin entered into the world through one man, when Eve was the first to sin?

Answered by BibleQ . October 17, 2011 - 4:57 am 1

In the account in Gen 2-3 both Adam and Eve sin by disobeying God and eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. However, Eve is not mentioned in Romans 5 (though Paul does mention her elsewhere, e.g. 1 Tim 2:14). This is presumably because Paul is drawing the contrast between Adam […]

Why should I become Christian? Can I not just believe in the things I believe in?

Answered by BibleQ . October 17, 2011 - 12:28 am

God has given us freewill. We can choose to obey him or choose to disobey. You can believe the things you wish to believe in – yes. This is your choice. There are however, very good reasons to believe in Jesus and do what he commands us. Some of these good reasons are: Living forever […]

Is everyone born for a purpose in God’s plan?

Answered by BibleQ . October 17, 2011 - 12:02 am 1

I don’t think everyone is born for a purpose in God’s plan. Many people do have a purpose in God’s plan and there are different purposes. Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Proverbs 16:4 The LORD has […]
