Ceremonial Law? Could it be the law on Sabbath. Exodus 20:1-17

You hit the bull's-eye there, excellent.

Q: where did the bible talk about 419 (give refs please) and who was it referring to?

I suppose that you are refering to the prosperity preachers that are quick to claim Phillipians 4:19 without wanting to practise or obey verses 14-18

pilgrim.1:

Not interrupting the flow. . . but make una permit me to tease my good friend small. . .

Well, maybe we have someone else who might clinch the medal there: MELCHIZEDEK!

"Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually." - - (Heb. 7:3)

At least we know say Enoch (Gen. 5:18) and Elijah (1 Kings 17:1) had descent. . . hehe. But Melchi-baba. . . he senior those two by far!

I know that you are trying to pull my leg.   But on a serious note I believe Melchi-baba had no recorded genealogy that is, his genealogy was not counted so that he could be a type of the Christ as God before He was begotten who had no father, mother, birth or death as a Divine Being.

Who was the first person(s) to have been surgically operated upon?

Adam.
Your answer to mine is wrong. Phil 4:19 does not refer to 419 if you follow the (aforementioned)definition of what/who a 419 is.
My question therefore still stands. Where did the Bible talk of 419 and who was it referring to?

Pilgrim, thank you for the Biblical verse that deals specifically on Melchizedek. To be frank, reading the Holy Bible is very refreshing.

Ahh, my brother Ndipe. . you must have been listening to the same thing that I heard this morning on a shortwave Christian station: "reading the Holy Bible is very refreshing!" God bless you more in your reading.

Lol, true - I was trying to tease you. But good one - and yes, yours appreciated.

It's true - your question still stands. So let me have one shot (and probably fail again). . . lol 

(# 1) Psalm 41:9 -- "Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me."

It was referring to Judas - who betrayed Jesus: "I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me." (John 13:18)



Gbam!



<sub>Can't ask a question as yet until you've scored us whether wrong or right - before we go on to the next.

You guys have been great in this thread - keeping it quite interesting, illuminating, entertaining, and refreshing. May God bless each one in all things for Jesus' sake!</sub>

@Pilgrim1

You're welcome back, you've been away for some day(s) i guess . How's life with you and your loved ones.

Just decided to say hello to you. Reading through your post has been refreshing too! .

All the best.

Certain dilemas that I am constantly facing (which I know is not related to the topic), when reading a novel is coming across an insertion of a foul language in the novel, or using God's Name to stress a point. How can I resolve this conflicts? Quit reading it, or am I making a big deal out of fictional novels?

Lol,. . . @OlowoTee,

Thank you for your continued care and prayers. In so many ways, God has been there - both answering your prayers, challenging me, and blessing those around me. I'm so grateful. I've been quite busy the past few days; and this morning is not as busy yet. . . maybe towards noon.

And I hope that all yours are well and blessed? To God be all the glory.

@Ndipe,

Well, take the novels for what they are - 'fictional'. I do understand, though, that there's bound to be some worries when reading 'fictional' work that not only use foul language and all sorts; but even deliberately impinge on one's convictions - such as Dan Brown sought to do with his Da Vinci Code. We read newspapers as well and come across certain unsightly pictures, ridiculous quips, etc. Here's one passage among several others that helps me with issues like this:

[list]
1 Corinthians 5:8-10
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.[/list]

We are daily bombarded with serious contrary stuff; but it's not ours to run out of the world on account to such. But then, in heart, mind, and association, we are to take care "not to company" with issues that continually war against our souls (1 Pet. 2:11 - KJV. . . _{incidentally, I love that verse so much, and that's what informed my username} ).

I do hope that you'll find some help in this. Cheers.

@feelgood and all,

I'm sorry. . . didn't mean to go outside the scope of this thread. So, I'm quiet now for the Bible Quiz to continue. You folks are super!

Pilgrim1 - you are correct. Psalm 41:9; judas. I had thought that would take a long time in getting. You are a blessing.
Q: at what age was Joseph when he made himself known to his brethren in Egypt? And after how many years was that?

feelgood:

Q: at what age was Joseph when he made himself known to his brethren in Egypt? And after how many years was that?

Mathematical calculus

If Joseph was 17 years of age before he was sold into slavery by his brethren Gen 37:2;

And he spent 13 years before he stood before Pharaoh Gen 41:46-54 making him 30 years old.

Then another 7 years of bumper harvest

And another[b] 2[/b] years of famine Gen 45:2

Therefore, 17+13+7+2

Is equal to 39 years old when Joseph appeared to his brethren.  QED.

Please if we can endure to answer the question above us before we ask our questions would be appreciated.  It is not to ask questions alone but at least making a honest attempt that matters so that we can all search the scriptures to verify.  Thank you and God bless.

My kweshun still stands unanswered:

OLAADEGBU:

Adam. Got took a bone (rib) out of his side. Gen 2:21

@Olaadegbu
I had answered ur question on the 1st surgical ops - see post 193 - apparently you overlooked it. Anyway, genial has answered it again.
Also, I asked 2 questions; you answered one correctly. But the second still stands:
How many yrs had Joseph spent in Egypt b4 making himself known to his brethren?

I sincerely apologise for missing your answer. The answer to the second part of your question is 22 years Gen 41:46-54; 45:2 as to the total number of years Joseph spent in Egypt before appearing to his brethren.

Drinking urine is not supported by scriptures. Give the reference
2. This king practiced occultism for decades, among many evils - yet when he turned to God in repentance, God forgave him. Who was he?

Hello m'hearties,
is no one interested in the quiz again? or are the questions difficult?
This silence is quite discomfitting

i shall wait for another person to confirm that the questions are difficult b4 I proceed to give the answers - this quiz shd not die o.
Pilgrim1, Oladeegbu, Olowotee, etc, where are you? have you given up on the thread already?

Lol. . . no O! No mind me - been busy these days. But let me try (and perhaps fail again):

feelgood:

Lol. . reference dey for that one again? Well, the one reference I remember about the sad episode in Israel's history about drinking urine is Isaiah 36:12 (cf. 2 Kings 18:27) --

[list]"But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words?
hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink
their own piss with you?"[/list]

And we know that is not something to jubilate about. However, if anyone has spare time, they could check out the ultimate urine test - drinking your own piss! I'm not saying this is recommended. . just thout to lighten the mood!

2. This king practiced occultism for decades, among many evils - yet when he turned to God in repentance, God forgave him. Who was he?

Ahab -

[list]
1 Kings 21:25-29
'But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly. And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.[/list]

How far?

Pilgrim1 - your answer to the 1st question is right.
To the second one, I had Manasseh in mind - 2chronicles 33:1-7, 12,13
Q: her bad influence made her child a satanic instrument to cause the death of the greatest prophet of all time. Who was she & what was the child's name?

Herodias, The daughter's name is not mentioned.
matt 14: 1-12
Now we can formally close the thread as nobody is apparently interested in it.
