    Why did Jesus die on the cross?

    Sure, but you have not answered my question. TonyChanYT said: The instrument of death needed to be crucifixion because it was prophesied. Which parts did I mistakenly infer? Please focus on the question precisely. Note the bold. This is the 3rd and the last time I've asked. I prefer to argue...

    New International Version, 2 Kings 23: English Standard Version: Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament: The Hebrew word H2076 appears 134 times. It means to slaughter for sacrifice. NIV interpreted as "slaughter" to avoid the theological complications. ESV translated it...

    Was God's land promise to Abram unconditional?

    I think so. God called Abram, and he went in Gen 12: God promised to give Abram's offspring some (physical) land. It was a gradual revelation. Another detail was added in the next chapter, Gen 13: H5704-forever was polysemantic. It did not always mean time going on to infinity Genesis 17...

    There is no other NAME under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved

    Acts 4: What exactly is that name: Jesus, Yeshua, Yahshua, or …? The spelling of a name is a label. The label itself does not save anyone. The label names a person. By the English convention, this name is often spelled as "Jesus". Who is this Jesus? That's the important question. Here is the...

    Was the execution of Shimei, who cursed David, justified?

    Exodus 22: While David was on the run, Shimei cursed him. Abishai, son of Zeruiah, volunteered to kill him in 2 Samuel 16: Shimei and Saul belonged to the tribe of Benjamin. According to David, God could have asked Shimei to curse him but turned the curse into a blessing. A couple years...

    Where was Gilead?

    Gilead is located on the east side of Jordan. Joshua 17: The Midianites invaded the west side of the Jordan. Judges 6: Judges 7: The trouble with the text here is that they could not be physically at Mount Gilead. Ellicott suggests these possibilities: Barnes offers similar sentiments...

    Are all sins equal?

    Are all sins equal? There are three aspects to answering this question: 1. In terms of temporal punishment, not all sins are equal, Exodus 21: 2. In terms of judgment, not all sins are equal, John 19: James 3: 3. In terms of eternal judgment and punishment, all sins are equal, James 2...

    Why did Jesus not say explicitly that he was God in the Gospels?

    Let string G1 = "I am God". Why did Jesus not say G1 in the Gospel? Jesus knew he was God but decided not to proclaim it at the time. Why? Paul explained in Philippians 2: He gave us his example of servant humility. Jesus did imply that he was God in the Gospels.

    God gave them over to a REPROBATE mind

    King James Bible, Romans 1: Let's check another Greek word δόκιμος [G1384] which is not in the verse. Thayer's Greek Lexicon for G1384: Studylight: The word means "approved" like approving the coin had not been shaved. It had its full weight. G1381 (δοκιμάζω) is the first keyword in the...

    What does the word "name" mean in the Bible?

    What is the lexical meaning of the word "name" in the Bible? Leviticus 22: John 14: Acts 4: The word "name" could mean the label of a person, i.e., the spelling of a person's name, e.g., "YHWH" the person's character, Lev 22:32 above the person's authority, John 14:13 the person's title...

    Which garment did Potiphar's wife take from Joseph?

    Potiphar’s wife attempted to have sex with Joseph in (Literal Standard Version) Genesis 39: The dictionary meaning of this Hebrew word is rather broad, Brown-Driver-Briggs: That's not so helpful. Let's see a bit more of the context: The garment was light and not heavy weighed or bulky. NIV...

    What did Jesus write on the ground when they brought to him a woman caught in adultery?

    John 8: Jesus was teaching at the temple when they interrupted him: They had their agenda. Jesus was facing a dilemma. If he agreed, then the woman would be stoned. If he disagreed, then they would say he did not follow the Law of Moses. κατέγραφεν (kategraphen) Verb - Imperfect Indicative...

    The word "rapture"

    1 Thessalonians 4: The Greek lemma for "caught up" is ἁρπάζω (G726 harpazó). The Latin translation of this verse used the lemma rapturus. It appears in the following verses: Matthew 11: Mat 13: John 6: In total, it appears 13 times. When is the great tribulation?
