Oh man, you guys are soooooo close! I thought you'd get this one easy.

1. When God wrote the 10 Comammandments with his finger.

2. When the "handwritting was on the wall" in Daniel.

3. When Jesus wrote the sins of the Pharisees in the dust when Mary was accused of adultery.

John 8:6
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

6 cubits and a span or 1 cubit = 17.5 inches  and a span is 1/2 of a cubit.

Hello "saved",

who was in charge of the building of the tower of babel?

YIKES!!!

Genesis 11  (KJV) speaks:
The Tower of Babel


1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

2And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

3And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

4And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

Judging from the scriptures (Gen. 10 & 11) my friend, "THEY" would have been in charge ... Who would "THEY" be ...

For some unkown reason, the authorship of the book of Hebrews remains anonymous to us.   Yet, there has been a strong argument/discussion,  towards Pauline authorship ... dating as far back as the the 2nd Century. Convincing evidence was lacking in that theorum even then.

here's a good brief link for the section about Jeroboam (http://studylight.org/desk/?query=1ki+11:28&t=nas&st=1&new=1&sr=1&sc=1&l=en) )

I couldn't remember which king had been killed by his servants, so I had to go look it up.

2 Kings 12:19-22:
... Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Judah?

His servants arose, devised a conspiracy, and killed Joash in the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.

It was Jozacar son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer, his servants, who struck him down, so that he died. He was buried with his ancestors in the city of David; then his son Amaziah succeeded him.

13.  When they formed up in the desert, there were 3 on each side, and the Levites were in the middle.

There are 12 sons of Israel, but Joseph's sons each became a tribe, making 13 tribes.
There are also 12 territories, because Levi didn't receive a territory.

: Re: Bible Trivia
: Imabear Wed Mar 05, 2008 - 14:00:27
Going back to my previous question about musical instruments.  The question also had another possible answer.  The book of the Revelation mentions harps as well.  There are references to 24 elders holding harps (5:8), the sounds of harps coming from heaven (14:2),
and finally from Revelation 15:1 "I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues—last, because with them God's wrath is completed. 2 And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and over the number of his name. They held harps given them by God 3 and sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb:
   'Great and marvelous are your deeds,
      Lord God Almighty.
   Just and true are your ways,
      King of the ages.
4Who will not fear you, O Lord,
      and bring glory to your name?
   For you alone are holy.
   All nations will come
      and worship before you,
   for your righteous acts have been revealed.'"

Sounds like IM to me!  Of course, they were just "holding them" and singing praises.  I guess it would be a bit presumtuous to think they actually were playing the harps. ::eek::

The Church at Smyrna

Jesus tells them... "Do not fear what you are about to suffer" Rev. 2:10

And then, The devil is going to cast some of you into prison, vs 10...

He tells them to "Be faithful unto death" vs 10 again ...  They are going to be hunted, persecuted, jailed and killed, for the name of Christ.

7 The LORD's anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down and he died there beside the ark of God.

Traditionally the first of the martyrs is accounted to be Stephen, who was stoned.

However, Jesus is the True and Faithful Witness, and died before Stephen.  "Witness" and "martyr" are the same word.

And that doesn't even touch on all the OT guys who were offed because of what they said.

He said it to Samuel when he went to Bethlehem to anoint the new king of Israel.  My gut reaction was that it was said about young David, the shepherd.  But it was actually spoken regarding David's brother, Eliab, when Samuel saw him and thought he must be the one God had chosen.  (I Samuel 16:7)

I believe that would have been during a visit to the temple on passover, commonly referred to afterwards as "the cleansing of the temple" (cf. Mat 21:12-13) I especially like the picture in the very next verse: "And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them." The picture of God coming to earth as Jesus and healing the sick in the temple seems incredibly meaningful to me, just in a way I can't easily put into words.

Do I get to be theologically correct?

EARTH is mentioned 188 times, though the Greek word is used 252 times.  However, only the NEW EARTH is really an eternal destination, so most of those may be disqualified.

HELL is mentioned 23 times, though only 12 of them refer to the eternal destination...the other 11 refer to Hades.  Revelation also uses the phrase LAKE OF FIRE to refer to it another few times.

HEAVEN is the answer you wanted (268 times, greek word 284 times), but it isn't an eternal destination, since God's bringing them all back to the new earth for the duration.

This doesn't sound like the answer you're looking for but...

To the best of my knowlege, hair was an outward symbol of a vow, as the hair was usually shaved at the taking of the vow, and at the ending of the vow.  Afterwards, the hair was burned as an offering, as a sort of symbol of the time spent in the vow.

As for them not finding Elijah, I reckon that since He saw Elijah's translation to the heavenlies, he knew just where he was, and it wasn't on the mountain anymore.

Anyway, look forward to your answer, as this is one of those stories that has always been mysterious to me.

In the beginning God was two persons or dietys, God and the Word,

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Jesus became the third person of the God head.

1Jn_5:7  For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
Joh_1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.


So where is the Holy Spirit in this?

He is not Jesus because He was before Jesus,

Psa_51:11  Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

He is not the Father, but comes from Him.

Joh_15:26  But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

So that makes it obvious, what are the two verses that together show who the Holy Spirit is?

Joh 1:3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Gen 1:2  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Luk_1:35  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

NIMROD!      What does the word "Echad" mean?

A question well worth looking up to find out.  "Echad" apparently means one in solidarity and unity - NOT one in numerical value.  "...the LORD our God is ONE (echad)..."  This is good information for those having to deal with those who deny the Trinity of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.  These three are "ONE" in unity. 

New question:  Why was it absolutely critical that Jesus ride into Jerusalem on an ass that had never been ridden before by anyone else?

Okay,  looks as if we don't have any answers forthcoming on this one.  In honor of today's Resurrection Day celebration, I'll pass on what I believe is the answer to this - in my usual long-winded style.

Everyone is familiar with the account of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on an ass, with the disciples' garments draped over it for Christ to sit upon.  It was a fulfillment of the Old Testament Zechariah 9:9 prophecy, down to the last detail. 

We have to go back to the Old Testament to understand Christ's intended purpose for using an ass that had never been ridden before.  In I Kings 1:32-35, when an aged King David wished to make known to all Israel that his son Solomon, (not Adonijah), was the favored choice to be set over the kingdom, he gave the command to put Solomon on King David's own mule, dress him in the robes of state for the occasion, and send Solomon to Gihon (the Temple's true location) to be anointed King of Israel.  The transference of power from David over to Solomon was made very evident by this public display of King David's own mule being used for the occasion.

Even the wicked Haman in Esther 6:7-9 understood the significance of using King Ahasuerus' own mount, combined with the temporary distinction of wearing King Ahasuerus' own robes in a street procession: the dignity and honor of the kingdom was thus transferred, even if only temporarily, to the one being honored.

In Christ's case, though, it was quite different.  His kingdom was not "OF this world" (John 18:36).  In other words, all the dignity, honor, and prestige of Christ's kingdom originated solely from Himself - NONE of it was transferred from a PRECEDING monarch.  As Christ Himself explained it, "I receive not honor from men...I am come in my Father's name..." (John 5:41-42b).

The Zechariah prophecy of the daughter of Zion's king coming unto her was going to be fulfilled by the One who would launch an entirely NEW covenant of the kingdom of heaven - not a kingdom that derived its right to rule from a previous king.

This is the implication behind Christ selecting an ass that had never before had another rider sitting on its back: His kingdom would not derive its power from a preceding kingdom - it would be a kingdom with Christ Himself as the original founder.  Christ would not be a successor to any human monarch, and thus He would not be indebted to mankind for His right to sit and rule upon His throne.

Let's see...another new question...

When the shepherds went to Bethlehem the night Christ was born, what were the three things that they would find in the manger?
