Genesis 6 talks about the sons of God taking wives of the daughters of men. This is talking about how true believers (who are the sons of God in the Bible) took wives of non-believers (which is parable language for believers mixing beliefs and ideas and spiritual things with non-believers ideas...

Thanks Myrtle Trees, for your input. I like that you notice that numbers, like other words in the Bible (that are not numbers), have a parable or representational meaning rather than a surface meaning. The Bible is written this way. In Psalm 78:2, we read that God opens his mouth in a parable...

"Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me." Romans 16:7 Junia is a woman's name, and yet she is apparently an apostle of note! The word apostle means 'sent'. Everyone who is saved, is in effect sent...

In my opinion, the two verses in the original question for this OP are talking about the same thing pretty much. They are saying that Christ preached unto the unsaved by the Holy Spirit. They talk about the days prior to the flood, but then mention how this is a figure pointing to the same...

"Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. " "Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah " Above are two verses which speak of those who are saved. They have their sins covered because Christ died for them...

Thanks Noose. I agree with what you have noticed and appreciate your sharing it. Thanks for sharing.

Since Jesus is the beginning and end, why is he also eternal, and where do the beginning and end fit into eternity?

What are some thoughts on this verse: "After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country."

In Genesis 48:16, we read: "The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth." I see this as meaning Jesus bless the lads, since God is the one...

In Hebrews 7, we find: "Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and...

Matthew 1:21 says, "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." I notice a lot of people on this site interpreting the phrase "his people" and "my people" as cultural Jews only. Jesus' people are so often seen as just...

Is the Bible necessary for a person to be saved, and what is the Bible for? Why did God give the Bible to humans?

Acts 27:22 says: "And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship." The ship is said to be of Alexandria (Egypt) going to Italy (means calf-like). Does the ship represent anything, or is it just a ship and nothing more? And why...

Exodus 19:4 says: "Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. " I don't see any record in the Bible of this happening with real physical birds. What does it mean then? I do remember seeing something similar in the Lord of the...

Hebrews 2:9 says: "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man." Is this saying that Jesus is saving everyone, or that it is wording meaning he would make...
