No, King David was not a priest. The priests were from the tribe of Levi. David was from Judah. When David sent for the ephod to inquire of the LORD, he asked Abiathar the high priest to bring it. Presumably the inquiry was through Abiathar, if the precedent of the instruction given to Joshua, the […]
Do vampires exist? or anything supernatural?
God exists. Jesus Christ exists. Angels, which are God’s ministering spirits, exist. But that is all 1Co 8:4-6 Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “an idol has no real existence,” and that “there is no God but one.” (5) For although there may be so-called gods in heaven […]
How should we treat homosexuals?
God has made it clear instruction that he forbids sexually immoral behaviour, including homosexual activity: 1 Corinthians 5:9-12 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people– (10) not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to […]
Who are the twenty four elders that John foresaw? Jew or gentile?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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 […]
