Thanks for sharing what you know on the subject! I didn't know there were ones around who still follow those things of Arius!

It is clear in verse 12, that women were not to be allowed to preach publicly, in churches. But it is less clear what verse 11 means, as to the order for women to learn in silence in church. So since the Bible is not clear on that subject, I think women have to prayerfully decide that for...

I would guess this only means those that the church as a whole - provides for. The New Testament church was in the habit of providing for the poor among them. But I think - whenever possible, elderly parents were to be provided for by their own chlldren. And of course, it isn't reasonable...

Comment: I just now tried to learn more about Arius and his doctrines. It took a while to finally see that he didn't have an essentially correct understanding of the trinity of God. I read about Arius just now, in this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arius It was this paragraph...

Thanks for the Bible timeline showing events of the lives of Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph - it looks like a very good Bible timeline! I downloaded it to my computer. Interesting how in Hosea, Jacob's wrestling with the angel took place and how Jacob made supplication to God in the event! I...

I think you may be right, as it says they came to present themselves before the Lord. They wouldn't need to to do that if they had been angels. Unless God brought angels along to be a part of the discussion - which seems unlikely, in view of the fact that the term here, "Sons of God" -...

Good verses! I hadn't thought of that verse in the parable of Lazarus and the rich man - in which Jesus said the dead can't communicate with humans on earth! Indeed, anything that is evil in origin is strictly forbidden by God - I agree! Well, maybe that was God speaking to Saul, giving...

You made a good point there - it doesn't say he wrote a book!

Well, maybe it's not something you can handle well. We're all different in what we can handle well. But there are many who can and should share their views of the Bible, in spite of the fact that some will disagree. The apostles are a good example, and so was Jesus. They did a lot of...

You may be right! Matthew Henry's commentary suggests such too, now that I finally got around to looking at it. So now, looking at the passage again, I guess the Sons of God here spoken of - may refer as you say to angels that came with God to talk with Job. And so it was the devil...

HERE ARE SOME THINGS I'VE RECENTLY LEARNED IN GENESIS (through online preacher, Chuck Smith - I listen to online preachers like that (which preach through the Bible) several hours after my bedtime, each day. *He said Jacob was around 70 years of age, when he left home and ended up at Laban's...

Yes, fragments of it agree with the scriptures - I agree. I just now read some from the book of Enoch I found online. And can recognize scriptures it quotes in it. But I see is as an untrustworthy book, and that it couldn't be the actual book of Enoch that is mentioned in the Bible...

Right! And if something happens by accident or by crime against us, sometimes, God miraculously rescues us. Other times, He allows us to suffer bodily damage. But we can still rejoice, as we have an eternal home in heaven, and heaven is the best place to live. Matt 10:28 28 And fear not...

True! And here's a link for reading the book of Enoch online for free, if interested. I see the book as being false and not from God. I plan to read it more later on my computer. http://www.hiddenbible.com/enoch/online.html

Well said! However, in the case of the witch of Endor bringing up the Spirit of Samuel - it appears to me that it was Samuel's spirit that spoke to her. Though I also believe all who die in the Lord - their spirits automatically go to heaven. But maybe God allowed Samuel's spirit to say...

Yes, angels are not able to have sexual relations with humans. I believe the book of Enoch that is around is a fake book - I mean that it couldn't have been written by Enoch, since the book's claim that angels cohabited with humans, I see as false and not possible. I think they made that...

You're right - they can take the appearance of humans, so that it is hard to tell that they may really be angels! That's interesting how you've had experiences in the past - in which in at least in one case, you knew for certain that it was an angel. Yes, it's amazing to realize that some...

Right! You explained it well!
