What did Moses make the children of Israel drink when he came down from Mr. Sanai?
Mark 5:13
And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea,
(they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
Close to two thousand I suppose!
RND - Thanks!! I stand corrected. I obviously didn't read the Scripture very well.
My question still stands: What did Moses make the children of Israel drink when he came down from Mt. Sanai?
He ground up the golden calf into dust, mixed it with water and made them drink it.

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.
so goliath would stand approx.--- 9ft. and 6 inches.
who was in charge of the building of the tower of babel?
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.

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. : Gracious Sat Jul 14, 2007 - 01:20:01

Jeroboam was the first king of Israel, son of Nebat ( I kings 11:28, 12:25)
He was placed by Solomon, and built the city Shechem.
What evil king of Judah was killed by his servants?
::headscratch::Since this one has been sitting for several days, I'll give a hint! ::headscratch::
He was a king of Judah, not of Israel. Good Luck.
(p.s.
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.
Here's a question:
Who went behind her husband's back to offer hospitality?
Abigail, current wife of Nabal, and future wife of David.
::blushing::oops, I forgot that there were two! I was thinking of Amon
II Kings 21:23, and the servants of Amon conspired gainst him, and slew the king in his own house

OTOH, is the answer to yours Abigail, when she went behind her husbands back and gave food to David and his men?
The people of Lystra were so dazzled by Paul and Barnabas that they called them by the name of two Greek gods. What were the names?

When the Israelites took formation under their banners during the exodus, how many tribes were present in total?
The obvious answer seems to be 12. Somehow I think you're looking for another number though.

The obvious answer seems to be 12. Somehow I think you're looking for another number though.
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.

Moses --- Mount Nebo
Aaron --- Mount Hor
Yep. Now you're supposed to ask a question.
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::

What did the Lord ask Isaiah to do for three years as a sign to Egypt and Ethiopia?
That is found in Isaiah 20:3 that He would unclothe himself and Walk Naked and barefoot for a Sign and Wonder for 3 years.

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

QUESTION...
When the Ox almost dropped the Ark of the Covenant, the man who steadied it died. Who was this and where is the account found?
The answer can be found in 2 Sam 6:6-7
6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled.
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.
Who was the ruler after the death of King Herod that Joseph was warned about in a dream?
Archelaus... Matthew 2: 22
What kind of tree was it that Elijah fell under and begged God to let him die?
This was a good question and the answer is found in 1Kings 19:4
1 Kings 19:4
But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, "It is enough! Now, LORD, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!
I believe that would be Rameses or Rameses the II.
Who would be the first martyr of the Bible?
Of the Bible?
Traditionally the first of the martyrs is accounted to be Stephen, who was stoned.

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

I am wondering what answer CS has in mind. I did an online seach and found more or less the same info as W_S with the addition of John the Baptist who would have been before Stephen and Jesus. That doesn't even take into account those "OT guys."
It is Jesus, who was "'The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." Revelation 13:8.

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)

Where do we read that Jesus "blew his stack" and attacked certain people?
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.

: Ewigkeit Thu Apr 24, 2008 - 20:09:49What three Bible books, when mentioned one after the other, would make up a perfect newspaper headline?

That would be Jeremiah.
As for the three books that make up a headline, I should have said they actually come in that order in the Bible. They are Joshua Judges Ruth.
Who compared some people to waves of the sea, foaming out their shame?
That would be Jude 1:13 "wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever." NASB
Daniel prayed for his people. Daily he prayed for them. From where did his answer come. How did it arrive?
At the moment I don't recall where he came from; however, Michael the prince (archangel) came to bring the answer to Daniel's prayers. He took three weeks getting there because he was "withstood" by the Prince of Persia.
As whom did the Christ appear to Joshua?

Moses didn't get into the promised land. He died on Mt. Nebo.

You're quite correct; but can you cite book, chapter and verse?
The Mosaic Law (Torah) specifies that if a son were incorigably rebellious, the parents should bring him to the elders at the gate of the city and there present him as unruly and rebellious, whereupon the son was sentenced to death, and the parents were first to throw stones at him.

Which of the two possible eternal destinations gets the most mention in the New Testament?
: Ewigkeit Wed May 21, 2008 - 15:31:57
Which of the two possible eternal destinations gets the most mention in the New Testament?
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.

: Ewigkeit Fri May 23, 2008 - 08:48:04
Actually, I thought hell got more mention; and indeed heaven is only a temporary home for the saved.
Can you explain how heaven is temporary?
Simple: Since the new earth is our permanent home and we come down from heaven with Jesus at the battle of Armageddon, it stands to reason that we are in heaven only temporarily to await the establishment of God's kingdom here on earth.
Doesn't Satan come out of his...hole after 1000 years? And he is here on Earth if I'm correct.
He sure does...and he mounts an attack on the camp of the saints, only to be greeted by fire from heaven, which consumes his army, and results in the initiation of the final judgment and his being tossed into the lake of fire.

The two R's; Rahab and Ruth
Which one(s) had no negative characteristics or problems?
I would guess Ruth and Mary.
Which ones were guilty of sexual indiscretions?
Which one was accused of sexual sin but was actually innocent?
Mary is defiitely right, and Ruth certainly had no skeletons in her personal closet; however, she did have one strike against her...being a Moabite.

Which one was accused of sexual sin but was actually innocent?
Rahab was guilty of a sexual indiscretion; after all she had been a prostitute. Mary was accused (or could have been) but was innocent.
Tamar was guilty of seducing her father-in-law but was accused of prostitution, of which she was innocent.
Although the Bible does not tell us so, Mary may well have been accused of sexual indiscretion, but she was most certainly totally innocent of any such!
Next question?
Where will you find the shortest and the longest chapter in the Bible?
Name a king who slept in hay!
The King of kings.
Neatly stated!
aaHow many wise men visited the Savior in Bethlehem?
It don't say how many Magi in Matt. unless I missed something. and Luke records a few shepherds. ?
You answered correctly, since there is no valid record of the number of magi...only of the nuber of gifts given. Now, when did the wise men arrive, and did they meet up with the shepherds?
When Joseph, Mary and Baby Jesus was already in the house.
They did not meet any shepherd.

Where in the Bible does it speak of tongues walking?
How can it be true, and it is, that the oldest person in the bible died BEFORE his earthly father?
: BloodChooser Fri Mar 20, 2009 - 08:26:31
How can it be true, and it is, that the oldest person in the bible died BEFORE his earthly father?
Methuselah's father was Enoch, who was taken up into heaven and never actually died.
Hey, guys, how about those walking tongues? They are in the Bible!
Although "Calvary" is a very common term in hymns and religious poetry, the word appears only once in the New Testament (in the Gospel of Luke), and that only in the King James Version.
: Ewigkeit Sat Mar 21, 2009 - 09:35:18
Hey, guys, how about those walking tongues? They are in the Bible!
I had to go digging for it... strange reference, but I believe you're referring to Psalm 73:9.
...and you believe correctly!
Where did the wise men go when looking for Jesus (of course they went to see Herod the Great we all know that)
But did they go to the Herodium or to Jerusalem?
**hint**
from either location you can see Bethlehem below.
The answer here is very clear from Matthew 2. "...behold there came wise men from the east unto Jerusalem..." "...when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him..."
I'm not sure if this trivia question was asked on this thread but I'll take a chance that it wasn't...

who was called baldy ?
and what did the talking donkey say ?
who was called baldy ?
It was Elisha ~ (2 Kings 2:23-24)
"Go up thou bald head! Go up thou bald head!" And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of YHWH: and there came forth two she-bears out of the woods and tare forty and two children of them.The children were poking fun at Elisha because his master Elijah was taken from off his head[covering] and he therefore SHAVED. So the next question should be:
What does hair represent in the Scripture and how therefore did Elisha know for certain that the prophets who went to look for Elijah (the very hairy man) would not find him? ::crackup::

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?
