Your answer Annah to the question: Who was the high priest when Peter and John were arrested at the temple? is incorrect. The correct answer is Caiaphas. See John 18:13, Annah was father-in-law of Caiaphas who was a high priest for that year.

V. 6 - tells me - we can do nothing in the spiritual realm, i.e. reaching souls for Christ, which is our MAIN purpose in His life that is in us, without Him - Acts2:38 (v. 37, "what must we do?")

V.17 - We need to take the SWORD 'off the wall', out from under the pomegranate tree (Saul) and take it to the red-light district, take it to the mall, take it into the schools, take it on the job. "If God be for us ..............." So maybe they will threaten you - "who can be against us"? But let's do it with love, not condemnation. To do it with love - we need to PRAY for His blessing.

Don't say I will never be in that mess I would never say or do that! I'm glad I'm not like you! For by what judgment you use you will be judged. By their fruits you know v:20. Don't push them deeper but lift them up!

Nick: John, baptized Jesus knowing he is The Savior!
John is Now setting in a dirty smelly prison cell, probably bruised and bloody, where the food isn't so great. Wondering, is this the one? Is there another? So he sends his disciples to ask are you the one? The flesh needs confirmation.
Blessed assurance He is the One !
Peace like a river!

Can someone please help me understand? In verses 26-30 God creates man and woman and they are told to multiply and fill the earth and are instructed concerning the benefits He has made for them. But in chapter 2 vs 7 our creator forms Adam because there is no one on earth. I've always been confused by this but embarrassed to question God's word. Thank you for sharing.

JESUS HAD TO REBUKE PETER, ONE OF HIS DISCIPLES CAUSE PETER DID NOT UNDERSTAND AT THIS POINT HIS TRUE PURPOSE IN DYING FOR OUR SINS! REBUKING IS PART OF BEING DISCIPLED BY GOD SO WE CAN LEARN TO LIVE AND DO BETTER CAUSE OF THIS SINFUL NATURE! HOW CAN WE BE A DISCIPLE WITHOUT DISCIPLINE???

To Barbara on 'Christian' commandments - ALL the O.T. commandments that were FULFILLED IN JESUS are Christian? Those are the 'moral/ ones. The ceremonial ones that applied to the Levitical temple service were abolished in Jesus. The 10 commandments are moral. and common sense, such as - a 'white' lie is STILL A LIE. There is no such thing as a white lie. Common sense.

to Coral - it is confusing isn't it? Not just the question regarding the translation from Hebrew, but also that specific commandment. My take on it is they're both right, the KJV translation is reverentially accurate, not always perfectly literal but reverentially correct. The second part of your question, tough one, the answer can only be distilled from the entire text of the bible - any help?

I do not understand what vs 23 and 24 are saying. Would someone please explain?

to Delroy - I'm reading chronicles and I have to admit it can be hard to get through. Read through the books again, the message is "hidden" in the text. The lessons are not only in what is said, but how it is said. We will see the "lessons" reflected in the text when we learn to see ourselves through the text. The same for all the bible I reckon - hope that helps?

Is it thou shall not kill or is it thou shall not murder. There is a very distinct difference. King James version says kill. Niv version says murder. Many people's lives were ended during the displacement of people occupying the land God had chosen for his people. Were they killed or murdered ?

To Joel 4 mos. ago -read 1 Kgs. ch.11 .....? This will explain his depression.

Rebecca Why does Genesis 1 and 2 seem to contradict?
I think chapter 2 is explaining chapter 1 in more detail. Irene123 I don't think the fruit is important. I think the fact that Adam and Eve were tricked into disobeying God. The important issue. The SIN is DISOBEYING GOD! It's not what you do.

Verse 68
To whom shall we go when in crisis situation, when we are troubled by guilt? To whom shall we go for forgiveness? To whom shall we go when we are homeless and hungry? When our marriage is failing, when we are worried about the evils that prevail in our nation. To whom shall we go when we are alone and weak by old age? Thank you Lord for being the answer. Come to me He says. Praise God!

We love only what Jesus loves and hate what Jesus hates. If we love what Jesus loves we have no problem because that is what we are supposed to do as Jesus lovers. But if we love what Jesus hates then how can we say that we love Jesus?

I think that Josiah who was raised with filth and idolatry actually turned to the truth of God's word when FIRST confronted with it!!! It's so beautiful, but so 'almost' unbelievable. I wasn't raised with anything, but I knew there was a 'god' somewhere - wasn't there .....? I was an 'empty vessel'. Then, at age 27 He began filling me with His truth. I had nothing to compare it to, as Josiah did.

This passage reminds me of the story in Kings where God tells the man of God not to hang around after giving the message. Another prophet, possibly older, tells the 1st prophet that an angel told him to stay in the area and dine with him. It was a lie. In the end, the prophet is killed for assuming God didn't mean his original word. Does God test us to see if we'll obey? Read it in 1 Kings13

Psalm 23,it's a beautiful verse. It's one of my favorites in the Bible. It gives me hope and assurance that I and my family, we are under His eye. My God will never forsake us. He is our Umbrella. The Lord is my Shepherd. What else do I want? That is the best gift. May the name of the Lord be praised for ever, amen!
