There is no reference to Joshua having a wife or to his having children. Nevertheless he may have been married and it simply was not recorded.
Did Samson commit suicide?
And Samson grasped the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and he leaned his weight against them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other. And Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines.” Then he bowed with all his strength, and the house fell upon the lords […]
Could you please explain 2 Corinthians 3:7-18?
2Co 3:7-18 Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses’ face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end, (8) will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory? (9) For if there was glory […]
Does John 1:1-5 mean that Jesus is God?
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of […]
God will not share his glory with another (Isaiah 42:8) but Jesus is honoured “just as” the Father (John 5:23) – isn’t the only logical conclusion that Jesus is God?
I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols (Isaiah 48:8) that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him (John 5:23) So the logic behind […]
Why did the seraphim in Isaiah 6:3 call to one another rather than to God?
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 […]
Jesus commanded us to love one another. What exactly does that mean?
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 […]
How is Colossians 1:15-20 compatible with biblical unitarianism?
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things […]
Why does God call Jesus “God” in Isaiah 9:6, if he is not actually God?
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon[a] his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6) Firstly this prophecy is very likely not about Jesus in its initial application, and secondly the Hebrew […]
