    Why did Naomi worry that Ruth might be harmed?

    Ruth 2: Ruth was a beautiful foreign woman in the land. That's the danger. Biblegateway: What were some prospects of a beautiful foreign woman alone in a field? John Gill's Exposition of the Whole Bible: Pulpit Commentary mentions the danger of meeting "some lewd and lustful men." So Naomi...

    Trial and temptation vs hardship and affliction

    1 Corinthians 10: Strong's 3985: To try, tempt, test. From peira; to test, i.e. Endeavor, scrutinize, entice, discipline. New American Bible: For every trial and temptation, look to God. He will enable you to endure it. On the other hand, Berean Standard Bible, 2 Corinthians 1: Strong's...

    Did David sacrifice every six steps in 2 Samuel 6:13?

    2 Samuel 6: Did David sacrifice every six steps in 2 Samuel 6:13? Perhaps initially but not all the way to Zion. There is a parallel account recorded in 1 Chronicles 15: That was the summary of the initial sacrifices. More sacrifices were performed at the destination, 1 Chronicles 16...

    Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said YOU ARE GODS'

    When you apply your approach to this passage, does it disagree with my approach here?

    Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molech

    Leviticus 18: Verse 21 seems out of context with the surrounding descriptions of unlawful sexual practices. Ellicott explained: There was an association between sex and children. Who was Molek? "Molek" means "king". It was a Canaanite idol. Solomon built a high place for Molech (2 Kings...

    Did Moses announce the 10th plague to Pharaoh face to face?

    I think so. While the 9th plague was happening, NIV, Ex 10: Pharaoh was trying to negotiate with Moses/God but failed. Exodus 11: The chapter division here is unfortunate. The above paragraph is a side note to justify what Moses was about to say next: Moses speech to the Pharoah continued...

    Are animals in Heaven?

    Yes, I think there will be animals on the new earth. Isaiah 11: However, I don't think pets will go to heaven.

    If Hitler were to have repented for his sins before he died, would he have gone to Heaven?

    James 2: Mr. Hitler needed to show his faith through his deeds. Killing himself was not a sign of repentance. The good news is that one of the two criminals repented on the cross before he died, Luke 23: Don't delay the decision. Don't wait until you are about to die. While alive, Matthew 3:

    Saul PROPHESIED with a company of prophets twice

    Samuel told Saul in 1 Samuel 10: Strong's Hebrew: 5012. נָבָא (naba) — 114 Occurrences Brown-Driver-Briggs: prophesy under influence of divine spirit a. in the ecstatic state, with song How did Saul prophesy? He did not prophesy in the sense of making predictions. He sang and probably...

    When a believer dies, will he be with God as a sentient being right away?

    Did God resurrect Moses and Elijah already?

    Matthew 17: Did they see the physical Moses and Elijah? The whole experience seems to be out of this world. They saw the vision with their physical eyes. Physical photons were projected like in a movie or a hologram. They saw physical images of Moses and Elijah and heard physical sound waves...

    When a believer dies, will he be with God as a sentient being right away?

    I doubt it. Jesus resurrected Lazarus in John 11. When Lazarus died, I don't think he went up to heaven to be with God as a conscious acting being. If he did, then Jesus would have to pull him away from God and return him back to his earthly body. When a person dies, he becomes unconscious, and...

    Did Esau repent?

    Did Esau turn to God? I don't think so. Esau was the firstborn, but he sold his birthright to his brother Jacob, Genesis 25: There are not many missteps in the Bible worse than this one. Had Esau not done it, we would have used a different formula: "the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Esau."...
