Why does the Bible refer to Jesus as the “lily of the valley”?

Answered by BibleQ . December 16, 2010 - 1:11 pm

The only place where “lily of the valley” occurs in the Bible is in Song of Solomon 2:1: I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. Here, Solomon’s lover is using a beautiful flower as a metaphor for herself. Solomon takes up the metaphor in response: As a lily among brambles, so […]

Has anyone since Adam and Eve till today ever seen the face of God?

Answered by BibleQ . December 15, 2010 - 6:40 am 1

Before we look at other people seeing the face of God, let us consider what Adam and Eve saw. Genesis 3:8 says that Adam and Eve hid themselves from “the presence of the LORD God” (ESV). This verse also says that God “walked” in the garden. If we take these statements literally then they would […]

Where in the Bible does it say that a father leaves things to his son, and if he does not have a son he leaves things to his brother?

Answered by BibleQ . December 15, 2010 - 6:07 am

The law of inheritance was part of the Law of Moses and is described in the following passage: And you shall speak to the people of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies and has no son, then you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter. And if he has no daughter, then you shall give […]

Does the Bible talk about collective salvation?

Answered by BibleQ . December 13, 2010 - 6:00 pm

No it doesn’t. The Bible message is about individuals being responsible for their own choice and commitment to follow Christ (Luke 14:25-33; Galatians 2:19-20; Philippians 3:7-9). Even when in Acts large groups of people were saved at the same time, they were all individually baptised (Acts 2:41-42). Salvation is based on an individual’s response from their […]

Where in the Bible does it say that sex within marriage is a gift from God?

Answered by BibleQ . December 13, 2010 - 5:21 pm

It doesn’t say so directly. However, the Bible does say that a man who has found a wife obtains favour from the Lord (Proverbs 18:22) and it also encourages satisfying sexual activity within marriage (Proverbs 5:18-19; Hebrews 13:4) and the producing of children (Malachi 2:15; Psalm 127:3-5). Paul advises against depriving your spouse of sexual […]

Did Luke, the writer of the Gospel, ever see or know Jesus personally?

Answered by BibleQ . December 13, 2010 - 7:49 am

We can’t be sure, but it is unlikely that Luke saw Jesus personally. There’s no information in the Bible to suggest that he did. However, every Christian claims to know Jesus personally, to some degree (in fact, knowing God and Jesus is a vital part of a Christian’s life: John 17:3). Obviously, when Jesus returns […]

What should you do when you love someone else’s spouse?

Answered by BibleQ . December 11, 2010 - 6:21 am 1

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. [Heb. 13:4] Marriage is sacred, so we need to respect another couple’s marriage and not interfere with it. If we are married, we also need to respect our own marriage and treat it […]

What does the Bible say about taking vengeance?

Answered by BibleQ . December 11, 2010 - 5:18 am

In the New Testament, which quotes from the Old, God says that Christians should not take vengeance on people who have wronged them: Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” [Rom. 12:19; cf. Deut. 32:35] Vengeance is […]

Do you have any information about the red heifers that are in Israel today?

Answered by BibleQ . December 7, 2010 - 2:31 am

According to Numbers 19:2, “a red heifer without defect” was required for the ritual of purification. An organisation called The Temple Institute is committed to searching for a red heifer without blemish as part of its preparations for the construction of a new temple in Jerusalem. The Temple Institute previously claimed in 1997 and again […]

How should we implement Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 25:35-36?

Answered by BibleQ . December 6, 2010 - 9:11 am

In Mat. 25:35-36, Jesus, in a parable referring to the future judgement (v31-33), says to the people who will be welcomed into God’s kingdom (v34): …I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I […]
