Wisdom ( Bible Q&A’s )

  • WISDOM: Where I share scripture, and Kingdom talk. feel free to link me any biblical questions you have

Welcome to wisdom: The number one question I get asked is; If God is good, why does bad things happen?
1. If your living in sin, you need to repent, and follow Christ; FREE WILL ( Deut 30:19 )
2. We live in a fallen world; Adam, Eve sin brought troubles into world ( Gens 3:1-20 )
3. It reveals who we are, how we react to things; your patience will be worked that you learn through the word by Satan ( Rom 15:4; James 1:2-4; Mk 4:17 )
4. It drives us to depend on God ( Proverbs 3:5-6 )
5. Pain makes us alert to things ( 2 Tim 4:7 )
6. It causes us to consider eternity ( 2 Cor 4:18 )
7. Are you His friend during hard times ( John 15:5 )
8. NOT GODS DOING, but The Holocaust was to bring God’s people back to their land; It took this event to realize that. They had to realize that no one will take care of us. When Jesus returns, the bible states they have to be in there land

Welcome to wisdom: Why do Christians die of sickness is the question; If it is God’s will that we Christians don’t get sick then what’s the answer: also see my Divine health, healing, deliverance page

  • Question? Great man of faith, prayed, and had elders of the Church praying for him to be healed; Him and Church believed, but he still died

  • Answers – ITS NOT GOD; it’s YOU; See divine healing, health, deliverance page for more!



welcome to wisdom: some wonder if mentally ill, retarded, people with disorders, will make it to heaven, because they are unable to make a conscience chose about receiving Christ into there hearts?

  • People with these situations, the bible doesn’t specifically say or speak in scripture about this, but these people according to the heart of Jesus I believe are covered by the principle of children; in the sense that they are unaware to make a decision of salvation, the same as children. ( 2 Sam 12:23 ) ( Jer 1:5 ) ( Matt 18:10 ) ( 1 Jn 2:12 ) are all biblical evidence on not able to make a decision, goes to heaven. We do have to be careful about being dogmatic ( doctrines held together by a group ) of things not listed in the bible, but God’s will is no one perish ( 2 Pet 3:9 ), and our God is merciful, and loving

  • ( Rom 1:18-20 ) EVERYONE is without excuse, so God wants people saved, you have to be able to make a choice ( Deut 30:19 )

welcome to wisdom: some ask the questions, where did the old testament saints go, before Jesus defeated satan at the cross?

  • Jesus said in Jn 3:13 – .. no man hath ascended up to heaven…………………

  • Paradise is not heaven, paradise is  ” Abraham’s bosom ” this is where Lazarus, David, Adam, Peter. John the Baptist, etc went  prior to the Resurrection of Christ ( Lk 16:19-26 )

  • Elijah – 2 Kings 2:11; and Enoch – Gen 5:21-24; were taken to heaven without dieing to help the old testaments faith , Jesus died; He took on the form of a man and died, and rose on the third day so Jesus is the first reborn

  • Hades is not the same as hell it has two departments; it is the holding zone where both the saved, and the unsaved were sent prior to Christ Resurrection

  • Hades has two compartments

  • 1. one place of torment , occupied by unbelievers, this is where the rich man’s spirit went

  • 2. Paradise which I mentioned earlier

  • Jesus took old testament saints with Him, when He rose from the dead ( Matt 27:50-53 )

  • Before Christ, God lived in the holy of holies behind a veil, now God lives in us by Holy Spirit ( Heb 6:19 ); ( Rom 8:11 )

  • Old testament saints knew God would provide them a Messiah ( Dan 9:25-26 ) ( Isa 61 )

  • When old testament saints died, God put their spirits in a layaway awaiting final payment by the Messiah

  • old testament saints lived so long it is said because

  • 1. The human race was more pure then, less disease to shorten life spans

  • 2.no rain fell before the flood, that kept people from comic ( cosmos- tall herb garden related to the daisies ) rays, and environmental factors that hasten aging

  • 3. God gave people longer lives so they would have time to ” fill the earth “( Gen 1:28 )

welcome to wisdom: the question is masturbation while thinking of your wife still a sin? Not married, or married but in mind another?

  • Several answers, first of all no, if it’s not a bondage thing ( 1 Cor 6:12; 10:23 )

  • It’s just 4 play stuff, when done in relationship of marriage;

  • ( Gal 5: 22-25 ) long as it’s self control, not often shouldn’t be sin

  • 2 Pet 2:19 – …….. for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage; YOU can masturbate yourself right into bondage if your not careful; you can create a bad pattern or habit in your mind, and body, which can create conflicting signals for your mind, and body

  • I believe it becomes sin when done often, even thinking of wife, and it destroys marriage, or ALWAYS sin, thinking of someone else;

  • Outside of marriage- Yes, it’s sin, cause you have to think of someone; Thinking of someone outside of marriage, fornication;

welcome to wisdom: the question is how should Christians eat ? should we watch what we eat, etc; alot of people spend alot of time worrying about how we eat, here is what the bible says about food

  • (1 Tim 4:3-5) -…………………… EVERY  creature of God is good, NOTHING to be refused, it be received with thanksgiving, it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer; meaning no matter what it is to be received with thanksgiving, because once you pray over it, it’s sanctified, so don’t worry about what you eat; meats, frozen foods, canned foods, etc

  • The bible is more concerned about HOW MUCH we eat, than WHAT we eat

  • ( Prov 23:21 ) ……. the glutton shall come to poverty……… ( Deut 21:20 ) ……………he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton

  • ( 2 Pet 2:19 ) – don’t be a slave to food, be moderate have self-control

  • ( Acts 10:15 ) – God put an end to un clean things ( Rom 14: 1-3 ); ( 1 Cor 8:7-8 )

  • ( Mk 7: 19 )- …………………….. purging ( to cleanse; purify ) ALL meats

  • ( James 1:6-8 )- nothing wrong with using wisdom, with too much sugar, non healthy foods, fat, etc, because you reap what you sow ( Gal 6:7-9 ); Eat healthy live longer

  • Once again, God is more concerned about quantity, then quality- ( Prov 23:20 )- Don’t eat much meat; ( Prov 25:27 )- Don’t eat to much honey; ( 1 Cor 6:12 )- Don’t be brought under the power of; ( Rom 14:15 )- WHATEVER people decide to eat, don’t let that stop you from ministering the gospel to that person; ( Rom 14:23 )- WHATEVER is eaten, or anything done without faith, from within your heart, is sin;

welcome to wisdom: the question does God care about your jewelry, or woman in the pulpit ?

  • The answer is no to both, let me explain, ( 1 Sam 16: 7 ) – God looks at the heart, men look at the otter appearance, God works from the inside out; so if you have tattoos, earrings, rings, etc none of that matters, so you DON’T HAVE to get them removed to please God

  • ( Rom 14:13 )- certain kind of tattoos, or getting them at all, will it be a stumbling block for someone else; use wisdom

  • ( 1 Tim 2: 9 ) – some Christian woman were trying to gain respect by looking beautiful, rather then being Christ like in character. It’s not un holy to look good, but it starts from the inside; a gentle, modest character gives a light to the face, that gold, and pearls can’t bring

  • ( 1 Pet  3: 1-6 ) –  Peter instructs Christian woman to develop INNER beauty rather than being overly concerned about outward appearance; Once you have Christ in you everyday, and you die everyday in the flesh, you will want yo be low key, modest

  • Woman in pulpit- ( 1 Tim 2:11-13 )-  Let’s break this down; Woman should not have authority over man in marriage; The saying ” the man “, not men, is referring to marriage, not all woman, all men, so Paul was saying that woman are not in subjection generally, but ” as fit in the Lord ” ( Col 3:18 ) in marriage, then preach the word; God ordained for a man to be the head of A MARRIAGE, spirituality wise, as fit in the Lord, to both be heirs together in the fear of the Lord! Christ is the head of the church, but we are raised up with Him, and heirs as well ( Eph 2:6; Rom 8:17 ) same concept with marriage!; Paul ONLY uses submission in a marriage relationship ( Eph 5:21-22; Col 3:18 )

  • ( 1 Cor 14:34-35 )- Paul says the same thing, obedience to the law is ( Gens 3:16 ), marriage, not in general; Then Paul again says, basically BEFORE woman should teach, they should have their marriage role at home in place!

  •  Paul noticed woman teachers, etc – Priscilla taught Apollos, the great preacher ( Acts 18:24-26 ) Deborah prophetess ( Jud 4:4-5 ) Phoebe ( Rom 16: 1 ) Tryphena, Tryphosa, ( Rom 16:12 ) ( Huldah the prophetess ( 2 Kings 22: 14-20 )

  • ( 1Cor 11:5-11 ) speaks of Paul acknowledging woman, praying, and prophesying, in the church; These verses are signs of authority, meaning, woman, cover their head, ( men ), men cover their head, ( Christ ), before leading!

  • ( Tit 2:3-4 ) Paul talks about woman teaching other woman!

  • Paul is just suggesting that under right circumstances of today, not at the Ephesus church at that time, woman teach

  • ( 2 Tim 3:6-7 ) False teachers were leading more woman than men astray at that time

  • Don’t take scripture out of content, ancient rules are different then today, woman back then were immature as far as scripture, and trying to win men over by dressing inappropriate, so don’t have those things for motives, and things are fine

  • ( Matt 23:26 ) – don’t be like a Pharisee; which Jesus called blind, because instead of cleaning the inside of themselves, they focus on the outside, FIRST clean the inside, then the outside will clean itself

  • It’s NOT JUST WOMAN God gave certain commands, before leading, teaching, he did with Men as well, in the next Chapter ( 1 Tim 3; ), men should be not a striker, not given to wine, and good rulers of their own household, not lusting for money, to be a good leader;

  • ( Gal 3:28 )- From God’s calling perspective, no male, female, etc, all ONE in Christ;

welcome to wisdom: the question has come up; why does Matthew, and Acts state different ways Judas Iscariot died ?

  • The answer is Matt 27:5, Acts 1:18 Judas hung himself, then his guts fell out after

welcome to wisdom: the question is, did Jesus serve alcoholic wine, and why would He let people get drunk?

  • The answer Jn 2:10 – ” well drunk ” – is said for a couple of reasons 1. is so they could not readily distinguish the good from which was worse 2. to produce hilarity (merry) 3. to satiety ( to prove with more than enough ) 4. ” well drunk ” can’t be shown to mean intoxication, but it may mean when they drunk as much as they judged proper or as they desired, then the other was presented 5. neither our Savior, or the writer, or the speaker expresses any approval  of intemperance ( not moderate; drinking to much alcoholic liquor )

  • new wine is not ferment,  Jesus shows His power over natural things with this miracle, Jesus makes wine that’s not ferment, and is better than any wine any man can make

  • Jesus would be a bartender if He did this, and that would make Him involved in sin, and He is sinless

  • Don’t lean on your own understanding; Jesus speaks, and does things in parables to separate the faithful people from the people who want to rationalize sin

  • Don’t wait until everything runs out before trying God; God is not dull, He’s life; just like His wine was something only God could make

  • Is drinking sin? No, getting ( drunk ), is sin; According to person, per amount to drunkenness; ( Prov 20:1 )- mockery, rage- characteristics of drunkenness; ( 1 Tim 3:3; Titus 1:7 )- Not GIVEN, to wine; Given, characteristics of drunkenness; ( Eph 5:18 ), ( Rom 13:13 ); ( 1 Tim 5:23; John 2 )- Wine used in positive way, but ( little ), consumed;

welcome to wisdom: God the creator vs evolution

  • God spent 7 days, and a half of page, 31 verses explaining creation ( Gens 1:1-31 ) when there are books out there with hundreds of pages of stuff!

  • God created this universe with WORDS; through faith, because faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen ( Heb 11:1 ) ( Gen 1 )

  • Paul wrote in ( 1 Tim 1:4; 6:20 )- Don’t give heed to ENDLESS genealogies; science falsely;

  • Why evolution? people don’t want to give an account to God, people want NO responsibility to a God, so when you die, nothing happens

  • Why theistic ( God ) evolution?  people are afraid to make a decision; they FEAR being wrong; they’re intellectually intimidated; they compromise

  • Light was created before the sun, and moon, wow! ( Gen 1 )

  • Evolution is NOT established, it’s a theory, 1000’s of scientist teach against evolution; evolution violates the word of God; evolution is NOT fact

  • The complexity of what it takes to run the universe, puts away the big bang theory!

  • Something can’t be created from nothing, it takes more faith to believe no one is in control, then to believe God is in control, and the universe hasn’t exploded yet!

  • ( Isa 42: 5 ) God created everything, and gives US our very breath!

  • ( Ps 19: 1-4 ) – God’s great work

  • ( Heb 1:2; 11:3 ) ( Ps 147:4; 19:1; ) shows God’s handy work, from His words to this world; ( Prov 8:27 )- is where Christopher Columbus got a compass from; THIS verse

  •  ( Ps 14:1 ) fools ( no sense, lack judgment ) say there is no God; People think there is no God; so they don’t have to be accountable to a God

  • ( Prov 21:30 ) there is NO wisdom…… against God; people who don’t receive Christ, have no wisdom

  • ( Jn 3:27 ) NO man can receive NOTHING, but from above ( any good thing is from above )

  • Dinosaurs in the Bible ( Job 40:15-24 ) ” Behemoth ” monstrous in size, and power, 17 – tail like a cedar ( tree ); name dinosaur was not established back then; that was the Lord speaking to Job about what He created! ( Ps 74:14 ) Leviathan – sea monster

  • People in the old testament; all they had to believe in God was 1. CREATION  2.conscience

  • We read in the bible that God, through faith, framed the worlds, so things that you SEE were not made of things that appear ( Heb 11:3 ) so you CAN’T make something from nothing!

  • Gen 1:1 – The vast galaxy is spinning at a speed of 490,000 miles an hour; there are over one billion other galaxies like ours in the universe; the number of stars in creation are the same as the number of grains of sand on all beaches; ALL this complex stuff functions with order, and efficiency; to say that the universe ” just happen” requires MORE faith than to believe that God is behind these amazing statistics

  • Theistic evolution – is when you believe in God, and evolution!

  • Theistic evolution is WRONG, because if you believe, that life, and death, have been going on for millions of years, death then is common, and HUMAN SIN didn’t cause it, then death of one man on a cross is useless; but if God started everything perfect, and gave Adam, and Eve a choice, and they sinned; HUMAN SIN came into the world, and one SINLESS man redeemed us! so theistic evolution takes away the purpose of sin at the cross! ( Rom 5:12 ) ( 1 Cor 15:21-22 )

  • Gen 1:1 to 1:2 – what happen, NOTHING! that’s all still day one,  the Spirit just hadn’t moved yet, Spirit was the first to move; without form, void, darkness, are all part of the narrative settings that follow; universe, living beings, living creatures, etc; You have to buy a house, before you have the lights turned on, or put furniture in it; You have to draw a picture, before you color it in! You have to create a human, before they can be reborn! God had to create something, potential ( capable, possible ) for the Holy Spirit to, hover over, ” move upon “; Like a mother bird caring for, and protecting it’s youth ( Deut 32:11-12 ) ( Isa 31:5 ); God is the creator, but needs Holy Spirits power ( Jn 6:44 ); The Holy Spirit was hatching ( bring forth ) God’s potential ( capable, possible )

  • Jesus said ” made them at the beginning… them male, and female ( Matt 19:4 ) ( Gens 1:27 ); so Adam, and Eve were made in the beginning, NOT a re- beginning!

  • ( Jer 4:23-26 ) is metaphorical on the terror of God’s vengeance, wherever he looked, it appeared dreadful ( unpleasant ) just like in the first part of ( Gens 1:2 ), void, empty, was because Spirit was not active yet! It was hatching ( bringing forth ) what God created

  • ( Gens 1:28 ) Replenish – means ” to fill, or refill, or supply, etc ” it has to many definitions to say it just means one meaning, like many other words in the English dictionary; so you have to discern, what it means here; EVERY translation of the Bible, NIV, Amplified, etc, uses ” fill “; If God really wanted to emphasize refill the earth AGAIN, they could have choice another word!

  • ( Isa 45:18 ) means – God did not create it to be darkness, or void, but this means when the Spirit is NOT moving, things are confused, unpleasant, void, etc; THE SPIRIT HADN’T MOVED YET!

  • God did not NEED to create the universe, then some say why? God CHOSE to create the universe because of LOVE; God created the universe, and humans as an expression of His love, because He loves us

  • None of us were there for creation, but I believe ( Gens 1: 2 ) DOESN’T PROVE pre- Adamic, or a gap theory, or Theistic evolution; I believe it just proves that NOTHING happen at that time!

  • things to learn from Gen 1:1- 1. God is creative 2. God is distinct from His creation 3. He is eternal, and in control 4. we are valuable in God’s eyes

  • Antony Flew abandoned atheism, because he followed the evidence of DNA, even though he believed in theism, his conviction converted from atheism

  • Supernatural can’t explain all we know; God is infinite. limitless

  • scientist without a biblical point of view is dogma ( opinion )

  • findings do not make the statements in the Bible true; scripture is already true ( 2 Tim 3:16 ) ( Heb 4:12 ) ( 2 Pet 1:20-21 ) and never needs verification; scientific support of the scripture only means that the scripture already is; my advice to any scientist is to make sure his findings line up with God’s word

  • There is no such thing as ONE theory of evolution, if you have 100 evolutionist, you’ll get 100 different theories

  • Quoted by Charles Darwin, in the book LIfe, and letters of Charles Darwin, 1988 volume 2 pg 14; ” There are so many valid, and waiting arguments, against my notions, that you, or anyone of you wish to be on the other side, would easily persuaded yourself, that I am wholly in error, and no doubt, I am part in error, perhaps wholly so, though I can’t see blindness of my ways;

  • Quote; Charles Darwin, Origin of Species, # 811 pg 156; ” Some of them, evolution difficulties, are so serious, that to this day, I can’t hardly reflect upon them without being in some degree staggered

  • the second law of thermodynamics says – things decay; get WORST over time; entropy, means state of disorder; example, fruit, it gets worst over time, but starts out good; evolution teaches things started out bad, and got better; this world started out good, and is getting worst!

  • ( Ps 33:6-9 ) – God spake

  • universe

  • man

  • woman

  • animals

  • plants

  • star

  • sun

  • moon

  • water

  • life

  • etc

Welcome to wisdom: Is the earth, flat or round?

  • Answer- Round ( Isa 40:22; Prov 8:27 );

welcome to wisdom: Do Christians go to heaven if they commit suicide; or unconfessed sin?

  • Yes ( Jn 16:8-9 ) the ONLY SIN that sends you to hell is not accepting Jesus as Lord, and Savior

  • When we accept Jesus as our Lord our sins are not IMPUTED ( credited ) to us; ( Rom 5:13 ) ( 2 Cor 5:19 ) so you don’t have to confess every sin as far as eternal acceptance with God is concerned

  • Suicide is murder, but murder is forgive able, as Christ paid for our past, present, and future sins ( Col 2:13 ) ( Heb 10:14 )

  • So whats the point of living righteous after you give your life to Christ; 1. have life in the abundance now here on earth, and peace, joy, love, etc; LIFE! 2. There are rewards in heaven ( Matt 5:12 )

  • me personally, I think it depends on the heart; people go to hell because they reject Jesus, not because of sin

  •  1. Judicial  2. Parental

  • Judicial:  1. consequences averted – HELL ( Jn 5: 24 )  2. frequency – ONCE ( Jn 13:10 )  3. result of sin – ETERNAL DEATH ( Rom 6:23 )  4. relationship to God – JUDGE ( Ps 96:13 ) ( Jn 8:50 ) 5. outcome- NEW RELATIONSHIP ( Jn 1:12 )

  • Parental:  1. consequences averted – DISCIPLINE ( 1 Cor 11: 31-32 ) LOST OF REWARD ( 1Cor 3: 15 )  2. frequency – MANY TIMES ( Jn 13: 8 )  3. result of sin – BROKEN FELLOWSHIP ( 1 Jn 1:6 ) GIVE SATAN ACCESS ( Eph 2:2 ) PRAYERS HINDERED  ( 1 Pet 3:7 )  4. relationship to God – FATHER ( Gal 4:6 )  5. outcome – RENEWED FELLOWSHIP ( Ps 32:5 )

  • note here that; the discipline, and prayers hindered, are a result of Satan’s doing, but God is GOOD, all the time, ALL pain, punishment, sickness, etc, come from Satan ( Isa 5:20 )

  • unconfessed sin affects our relationship with God, because what we are doing in our hearts, WE get hard hearted toward Him ( Heb 3:13 ),but He loves us unconditionally ( Eph 1:4 ), we are still His children, which Heaven is our destiny

  • look at Martin Luther King jr, he got shot, and died on the spot, yet I believe he made it to Heaven because of his heart for God

  • I don’t think people realize how hard it is to go to hell; ( Matt 20: 1-16 ) the parable of the workers in the vineyard; the last will be first, the first will be last; people you think you will never see in Heaven will be there

  • None of us deserve Heaven whether born again or not, but I believe we under estimate Heaven, and the gifts there that awaits for us according to our obedience here on earth; plus why live in worry, fear, confusion, torment, here on earth in disobedience

  • if you truly love Jesus, you will look for a way out of sin

  • depression is a real thing, and as a Christian I would turn to Christ, and His word, and empowerment of the Holy Ghost for help

Welcome to wisdom: Once saved, always saved?

  • Yes, salvation is God’s work ( John 3:1-7; Rom 9:15-16 ); Can’t come to God unless drawn by Spirit ( John 6:44; 1 Cor 12:3 ); God knows all things for a reason ( 1 John 3:20 ); so since only He sees the heart ( 1 Sam 16:7 ) He KNOWS whether the person meant it or not, or will renounce it or not, and performs, or doesn’t perform His perfect salvation work!

  • Those that renounce were NEVER HIS ( 1 John 2:19; 1 Cor 11:19

  • Judas was considered a disciple ( Matt 10:4 ), yet Jesus said, I have CHOSEN you, yet you ARE a devil; point, people can proclaim being a believer, yet really aren’t from the heart!

  • It’s God’s will that ALL be saved ( 1 Tim 2:4 ) ( 2 Pet 3:9 )

  • proper understanding of salvation is works play no part ( Rom 4:5 ); it’s a free gift ( Rom 6:23 ); it is received by faith ( Eph 2: 8-9 ); once saved live holy life ( 1 Thess 4:7 ) by renewed mind ( Rom 12:1-2 )

  • *those that renounce their Christianity, was never God’s to begin with ( 1 Jn 2:19 )

  • once saved, sealed by holy Spirit ( Eph 4: 30 )

  • once saved sins aren’t imputed ( credited ) to you ( 2 Cor 5;19 ); ( Rom 5:13 )

  • people who sin willfully show they don’t understand the seriousness of sin ( Rom 6:1-2 ; 11-12 ); they haven’t renewed their mind coming from the world ( Rom 12:2 ); ( Eph 4:23 ); or need to past temptation ( James 1:12 ); or need to deny themselves ( Lk 9:23 ); ( Gal 2:20 ); ( 1 Cor 15:31 )

  • The saved are a new creature, or born again MEANS SPIRITUALLY; ( 2 Cor 5:17 ); ( Jn 3:3 )on the inside; outside difference comes as we convert our souls ( mind, will, emotions ) ( Ps 19:7 ), as a by-product of our relationship with Jesus

  • these Hebrews verses first point to Hebrews turning or REJECTING Jesus for Judaism ( a religion developed among the ancient Hebrews, and marked by belief in one God, by the moral laws of old testament ) but some say could be used for today, REJECTING Jesus is the ONLY sin that sends you to hell ( Jn 16:9 )

  • ( Heb 4:6 ) – Some believe can renounce faith, I believe this means that you can’t lose salvation, because Jesus will not die again! it is God that draws you to Him ( Jn 6:44; 15:16 )

  • ( Heb 6: 6 ) – talks about people REJECTING Jesus with apostasy ( leaving Christianity ) which is hardness of heart, and make repentance inconceivable for the sinner; and it is impossible for a christian who falls away, for salvation to be renewed; which means you CAN’T lose salvation, and if you apostate, you were never saved ( Jn 1:13; 1 Jn 2:19 )

  • ( Heb 10:26 ) – people deliberately REJECTING Christ offer of salvation

  • ( Gal 5:4 ) – MEANS – Christ will be of no help at all to a person trying to save themselves

  • ( Matt 7:21-23 ) never saved although they appeared through HUMAN perspective;” I never knew you” exactly, Jesus never KNEW them; never did God’s works ( Lk 6:46 )

  • The Grace of God teaches us to live right, and deny worldly lust ( Tit 2:11-12 ), NOT to go sin willfully, because are sins are forgiven

Welcome to wisdom: One wife, polygamy?

  • ( Deut 17:17 )- God NEVER condoned it, These leaders, great men of God, just got into that, but the gifts and calls are without repentance- ( Rom 11:29 );

  • Overseers should have ONE wife ( 1 Tim 3:2-4 ); ( Heb 13: 3-4 ) Noah had one wife ( Gen 7:7 ) Man, woman become ONE flesh ( Gen 2: 24 ); so it’s God’s will to have ONE wife

  • in the old testament, they had many wives AFTER the fall of man ( Gen 4:23 ); God never CONDONED it, like divorce we have free will, and God allowed it without immediate consequences, just like divorce today; polygamy exist among God’s people because, it would produce more people, and help continue in the family line. Numerous children were a symbol of status, and wealth; also polygamy became accepted, because it supported woman who would other wise be unmarried, because lots of men were killed in battle

  • (2 Sam 12:8) – means – God gave David, as king of Israel,  everything that belonged to Saul; they passed down from king to king what belonged to the king; polygamy was MAN’S idea, not God’s; God will not force anyone to do anything

welcome to wisdom; how can psychics predict people’s lives?

  • Answer; familiar spirits, familiar spirits are servants of their master, Satan, and they are ready to obey his commands; familiar means ” house hold” in Latin, and they communicate with the forces of evil, and that’s how they know; this evil practice includes – divination ( uses omens or magic to foretell future ); transcendental meditation; yoga; visualization ( to make visible ); necromancy ( conjuring up the spirits of the dead ); channeling; psychics; These things are an abomination to the one true God; ( Lev 19:31, 20:6; Deut 18: 10-12 );

  • Some people wonder why Samuel popped up with the medium with Saul?( 1 Sam 28: 1- 19 ); Samuel’s appearance revealed to the medium that she was dealing with a power FAR GREATER than she had known; she DIDN’T call up Samuel by trickery, or by Satan; but GOD brought Samuel back to give Saul the prediction of his fate; That’s why the woman said ” why have you deceived me, verse 12 ” because her medium DIDN’T WORK FOR SAMUEL;

  • Horoscopes are NOT of God; why? Bible talks against it – ( Deut 18: 10-12 ) ( Acts 16: 16-18 ) – it’s divination – ” discover hidden knowledge ” or witchcraft, or familiar spirits; We should only seek the faith, revelation, and advice from God

welcome to wisdom; was Rehab justified in lying to save the lives of the spies?

  • Answer; the Bible doesn’t speak negatively about her lie ( stratagem ) lying is clearly a sin; Rehab is commanded for her FAITH in God ( Heb 11: 31 ); Rehab used ( stratagem), a term in war where you can lie so that the enemy doesn’t conquer you.

Welcome to wisdom; why if Jesus is God, did He say only the Father knows the time
of the end ( Matt 24:36 )?

  • Jesus, angels, no man knows, because, then it would have to be revealed to us, because we have the mind of Christ, and have access to all mysteries of God for us to know, and are complete in him ( 1 Cor 2:7:16; Col 2:10; Jn 15:15 ); That’s why we have the book of revelation, Jesus, angels, role, in the final day; It is the Fathers role ( Deut 29:29 ) in the God head, and none of humans business; Point, Jesus in his human estate choice not to know at that time because he would have to reveal it to us; It’s a us not knowing thing; ( Acts 1:7; Col 2:9; Duet 29:29 ); *Read commentary in Matthew for more!

Welcome to wisdom; If Jesus is God, why did he say my Father is greater than I in ( Jn 14:28 );

  • Jesus was referring again to His role in the God head ( Rom 1:20 ) as His earthly ministry, He humbled Himself to HUMAN limitations while on earth, but still God in nature ( Phillip 2:6-8 ), so God was greater in that case of not limited; had to tell disciples this, because they thought if God, why go through what He went through! Can’t read ( Jn 14:28 ), without reading ( Jn 16:28 )- Jesus came from, and went BACK to the Father, GREATER, heaven!

Plenty of others scriptures of Jesus letting us know he is equal with God, the Father as nature, character- Jn 1:1-3; 5:23; 6:46; 8:18; 10:30; 38; 12:44; 14:9-11; 17:5; Son of God- ( Jn 10:36 )- means God with us ( Isa 7:14 );

Welcome to wisdom; is there a such thing as reincarnation ?

  • Answer, no; ( Heb 9:27 ) tells us that a man must die then judgment; Elijah was not reincarnated, ( Mk 9:13 ); that is John the baptist with the spirit, and power of Elijah; ( Lk 1;17 ); pointing people to God ( Mal 3:1 ); and boldly confronting sin;

Welcome to wisdom; what happens to people who never hear the gospel ?

  • Answer; I believe that ( Rom 1:20 ) – tells us that God reveals Himself  to us in creation, and nature……; so we are ALL without excuse; ( Rom 2:15 ); ( Eccl 3:11 ) – God has written things on EVERY ONE’S HEART; because God puts that homing device on the inside of EVERY person to give them something to begin searching for; Then once your heart is open to creation, and nature, then ( Deut 4:29 ) –  tells us to SEEK the Lord, and He will make ways to learn about Him, and his Son;

  • ALL HUMANS ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE, IF YOU HAVE HEARD THE GOSPEL OR NOT ( Rom 1:1-28 )

  • The Bible is not specifically clear on this, but God will deal with people who haven’t heard, some say they will be judged on what they know; ( Rom 10: 12-15 ) – talks about the importance of evangelism; this is our response as Christians;

  • The Bible is clear that JESUS is the ONLY way to be saved; ( Acts 4:12 ); ( Jn 14:6 ); without Jesus you go to hell! so if never heard about what Jesus did for the world, respond to what God has put in every person!

  • The point of evangelizing, teaching, and preaching, is to convince people, that the inner voice they hear is true, and yes they should respond to it, and there is a penalty for rejecting that

  • God is fair, and just, and will deal with people fairly, ACCORDING TO THEIR HEARTS; because the Spirit knows the hearts of people;

Welcome to wisdom; does God the Father have a body?

  • Answer NO; (Lk 24:39); (Jn 4:24), (Num 23:19), (Hos 11:8-9); all confirm that;

  • The bible uses anthropomorphics (  ascribe human form or attributes to a being or thing not human; especially to a Deity ) to help make God the Father real to us; and express His various powers; interest; and activities; like Micheal Jordan can fly like an eagle, or Bo Jackson is as fast as a Cheetah; we know Jordan can’t jump THAT high, or Jackson can’t RUN that fast, but it’s a figure of speech;

  • (Gens 8:21) – God smelling; (Gen 1:4) – God seeing; (Ex 33:11)- God face to face with Moses; (Heb 12:2)- right hand of God – ALL anthropomorphic;

  • Right hand means – (Ps 110:1) – for the enemies of God, to be at His footstool;

  • Face to Face- is probably audible voice, without prophets, dreams, etc; which after the resurrection of Jesus; All believers could basically meet God face to Face, because the veil is uncovered

  • References – The Bible; Wall builders, David Barton; Faith of our Fathers, Bridgestone multi-media group

  • Why does the world now, want to be secular?; because they don’t want to have to give an account to a sovereign God, THEY ( government ) want to tell people what to do, instead of everyone learn on their own

  • This country is MORE prosperous, than any other, because we founded this country off biblical truths;

  • ( 2 Tim 3:16-17 ) talks about believers being in ALL good works, God wants us in politics, education, government, etc; all things

  • Even the six non Christians, still found a need to found country on biblical truths

  • Information from a Christian David Barton; who has the ORIGINAL copies of our forefathers;

  • Separation of Church, and state is NOT in the constitution; Separation of Church, and state was so the government could not tell the Church what to do!

  • 1 Amendment is so Christians can 1) right of association 2) right of free speech 3) right of religious worship

  • ( Ezra 7:25 ) – talks about presidents appointing Judges who know the laws of God!

  • Requirements for a president came out of the book of Exodus!

  • God wants to be in the decisions of Judges ( 2 Chron 19:6-7 )

  • ( Ex 18:21 ) – we among ourselves choose able, qualified men to rule

  • God made ALL man equal ( Acts 17:26 ) ( Rev 7:9 ), and with certain rights; Christ died for All ( 1 Jn 2:2 ) point of government is to protect those rights, given by God!

  • Learn, and read original documents from David Barton websites, speak to friends, and attack problems at local level; if need legal defense, Barton’s website will represent for free! they have won 99% of their cases; you won’t hear that from your local news! why? the Supreme court ignores history! Religious hostility.org to review religious attacks in America; American Presidency project ;search Bible under presidents, prior to world war 2;

  • Thomas Jefferson’s separation Church and state was to not allow state governments from establishing a certain religion for a state; ex – states don’t have to ALL be baptist, or Catholic, etc; because New England had a state established religion; so the Dan berry baptist church of Connecticut wrote Jefferson in 1801, and Jefferson wrote back;

  • “Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man, and his God; I contemplate with sovereign reverence, that act of the whole American people, which declare that there legislature should make no law respecting the establishing of religion or prohibiting the free exercise of thereof , thus building a wall of separation of church, and state”

  • Thomas Jefferson DIDN’T SIGN constitution or bill of rights, he was in New England at the time

  • The Pilgrims are the reason for Thanksgiving, to give thanks to God for surviving making it here; read the Thanksgiving proclamation by George Washington!

  • Bible society wanted the teachings of Jesus ( red letters ) put out to Indians, to move them forward civilization

  • The book ungodly constitution has no footnotes, see Barton’s website, and his documents has footnotes, don’t go off a person having a P.H,D, go off the originals, or search for originals yourself

  • 1963 – neutrality, Supreme court, majority rules to separate religious activity and civil authority; Justice Potter Stewart established a secularism religion; Charles Evans Hughes says ” the constitution is what the Judge says it is, 1930; THAT WRONG

  • Majority rules, should NOT define the authority on which we set moral standards; GOD sets those standards

  • After world war 2, 1945, the text books in America were switched, before 1920, they would teach you how to think, then they started telling you how to think

  • There is a lot of GOOD going on for Christians; won’t hear that from secular media!

Welcome to wisdom; homosexuality!

  • IS WRONG – ( Lev 18:22 ) ( 1 Cor 6:9-10 ) ( Gen 19 )

  • Why homosexual out burst?, because they want to be accepted, and the world is NOT comparing moral laws with the Bible

  • It is NOT genetic, God would not say it’s wrong, and not give you a choice ( Deut 30:19 )

  • ( Rom 1:1-28 ) talks about homosexuals are handed over to a reprobate ( doomed for damnation, no conviction ) mind

  • Two men CAN’T produce a family, society is held together from the family; just because it is legal, don’t make it right; God made Adam, and Eve, NOT Adam, and Steve

  • Love the person, hate the sin ( the lifestyle )

  • ( Dan 11: 35-37 ) – Say’s the anti-Christ, will be a homosexual

  • homosexuality leads to natural consequences that are not good, diseases, bad relationships, confusion to children, etc

Welcome to wisdom: Abortion!

  • IS WRONG – ( Ps 139: 13- 18 ) ( Ps 27:10 ) ( Jer 1:5 )

  • Why abortion? because the world is not lining up their beliefs with the Bible, they think people have rights to do these things, they have no fear of God

  • When seed is planted, THEY ARE HUMAN, nobody has the right to take another humans life

  • ( Job 31:15 ) God is the creator, and fashion’s ( the make or form ) you in the womb; just because it is legal, doesn’t make it right

  • ( Job 10:8-12 ) – again talks about how God forms us, and gives us life

  • ( Isa 49:5 ) Again, God forms us in the womb, just because you can’t afford a baby, doesn’t mean you should get rid of it; think about that before you have irresponsible sex

Welcome to wisdom: Are you forgiven if you don’t forgive others?

  • ( Matt 6:14 ) Yes!, God’s forgiveness is not a direct account of you forgiving others, what God is saying is, if you don’t forgive others, that’s a direct in road for satan, and YOU will hinder God being able to move in your life!, and YOU will not experience God’s forgive, if you don’t forgive others!

Welcome to wisdom; are all called?

  • ( Matt 22:14 ) Yes! earlier in the parable of the wedding banquet; 22:10 says ” gathered all as many as were found “, so the phrase for many are called, and few are chosen; means either Jesus had only preached to Jews only ( Matt 15:24 Jn 16:12 ), up to that point, or the many called, are those who have a ear for the gospel; and the few chosen are those who responded to the gospel, but God has a purpose for every one’s life ( Eph 2:10; Jn 3:16; Rom 10:13; Rev 17:14 )

Welcome to wisdom; why did the disciples cast lots ( like flipping a coin ) when choosing the disciple to replace Judas?

  • Because the Holy Spirit hadn’t come yet; that was there old way of doing things!

Welcome to wisdom; why did God smite Ananias, and Sapphira after lying to the Holy Spirit ( Acts 5: 1-5 ), and Herod in ( Acts 12: 20-23 )?

  • Who said they were Christians? ( Acts 5:1 ), CERTAIN MAN, it says! ( Acts 8:9, also uses certain man of unsaved person, then in Acts 8:13, defines person as saved )

  •  Scripture not clear, but maybe Ananias, and Sapphira, had decided in their hearts, even though they had received great revelation about Jesus with everyone else, to depart from the faith, and in a way blasphemy the Holy Spirit; leaving the faith is rejecting the conviction of the Holy Spirit; they were never with them ( 1 John 2:19 ) God seen something at the heart level, that we didn’t!

  •  Herod, probably totally rejected God!

Welcome to wisdom: blasphemy the Holy Spirit?

  • ( Mk 3:29 ) This is when there is no more room left in your heart for the Holy Spirit to convict you, and draw you to Jesus; ( 1 Cor 12:3; Jn 16:7-11 ); those that blasphemy the Holy Spirit, don’t feel conviction to come to Jesus;

Welcome to wisdom: why did Jesus say only God is good, if He is God? ( Lk 18:18-19 )

  • Jesus was trying to explain to the man that He is not just a good master, but it is the fact that He is God, that makes Him good!

Welcome to wisdom: how could Pharaoh’s sorcerers do the same miracles that God did? ( Ex 7:8-12 )

  • Satan can imitate God, and lead people astray, but you know the sorcerers didn’t have the same power, because they could NOT reverse, or stop the plagues from happening! Whenever miracles are to destroy, or lead astray, it is a lying wonder ( 2 Thess 2:9 ); People can manipulate elements like magic tricks, which is why people can crawl out of coffins, etc

Welcome to wisdom: did the sorcerer bring up the spirit of Samuel, or did God? ( 1 Sam 28: 8-19 )

  • The sorcerer DID NOT pull up Samuel’s spirit, she realized that God’s power was greater than hers, and she was deceived ( v12 ); Saul dressed in different clothes when he approached the sorcerer ( v8 ) so she didn’t realize Saul, until this happen; God brought Samuel back to give Saul a prediction regarding his fate, and why ( v18 )! God is AGAINST sorcery ( Gal 5:19-21 )

Welcome to wisdom: why does the scripture say the evil spirit of God? ( 1 Sam 16:14 )

  • Evil just means “harmful” God has wrath, that His people will escape ( Rom 5:8-9 )

Welcome to wisdom: why parentheses in the Holy Bible?

  • Parentheses in the Holy Bible, is to help aid the reader to understand better, it is ALWAYS in harmony ( agreement ) with the Bible; I personally, have never read parentheses statements in the Holy Bible, that were not already in the Bible, they are always referenced in the Bible some where else!

  • Put in there by translators, because of long sentences, and no commas, or periods in original text, to make more sense in English!

  • Ex ( 2 Cor 9:9-10 ), is in parentheses, but it is referenced to ( Ps 112:9 )

Welcome to wisdom: why no J’s in the first King James edition Bible?

  • The letter J is about 400 years old, and it is a variant ( differing from the same general kind ) from the letter I

  • Jesus is a transliterate ( to change into corresponding characters of another alphabet, or language
    ) meaning if you look at the phonetic alphabet ( agreeing with pronunciation ) [y,i] sound the same as [j] in our language; so Yeshua, in Hebrew, and Iesus, in Latin, and Iesous, in Greek, ALL SOUND  as Jesus, in English, comparing with languages; Yeshua in Hebrew = Joshua in English; Iesous in Greek = Jesus in English; Old testament is written in Hebrew, New testament in Greek

  • The first King James Bible was translated in 1611, and J came into English alphabet around 1630; so even though the lettering has changed, the sound has ALWAYS been the same

  • Matt 1:21-  Jesus means salvation, will save people from sin!

  • After changed, J became a consonant ( separated because of sound from vowels ) and i became a vowel; example of a consonant- B in be, W in we

Welcome to wisdom: was Paul’s thorn in his flesh a sickness in ( 2 Cor 12:7-10 )?

  • No- thorn in the flesh is a term used, like “a pain in my neck”, to make people think twice about gospel

  •  V 12:7, is saying that  exalted , because, Paul was being honored by people, satan attacked to make gospel less attractive

  • Infirmities – one of the definitions is- lack of strength;, Paul mentioned what his infirmities was in ( 2 Cor 11: 23-30 ), persecutions in ( 2 Cor 11:23-30) not a sickness

  • ( Gal 4: 13-15 )-  ” would have plucked out your own eyes”, Paul said, because of infirmities listed in ( 2 Cor 11:23-30 )!, he had been beat up!

  • Grace sufficient, when we are weak, God is strong ( Gal 2:20 )

  • The Lord delivered Paul out of ALL his persecutions, and afflictions ( 2 Tim 3:11 )

  • People say it was a sickness to justify them not living up to biblical health

  • The Lord never said no!

Welcome to wisdom; December 25, Jesus birthday?

  • Luke chapter 2 is where you find Christmas story

  • Me personally, Santa was a saint according to history, but I won’t lie, and tell my kids he brings gifts!

  • ( Col 2:16 ) let no man judge you for what you celebrate- Christmas lights, are a sign of being the light of the world, a tree is everlasting life; what does it mean to you!

  •  (  Jer 10:1-5 ), ( Isa 44:14-17 ) is referring to people using trees, and decorations, as an idol, and worshiping it;

Welcome to wisdom; Easter

  • Again Easter ( week ), is different from the resurrection of Jesus Christ, dates and time frame is consistent with the Jewish Passover, when the resurrection of Jesus took place, and the name ( Easter ) means passover in ( Acts 12:4 ), again like Christmas, was meant to be an alternative for believers at that time, instead of spring fertility rituals, which is why the egg hunting etc is mixed in; Proper way to put it- Easter week, Resurrection day, calling it Easter Sunday would mean toping off the passover week with Resurrection of Jesus on Sunday.

  • Jesus death, and resurrection  in ( Matt 28:1-10 ) ( Mk 16:1-8 ) ( Lk 24:1-12 ) ( Jn 20: 1- 10 ) is where the Easter stories are

  • Me personally, don’t care for the bunny, or eggs!, but, Col 2:16

  • ( Col 2:16 ) let no one judge you on what you celebrate- hidden eggs, means Jesus being raised from tomb, Easter bunny is where the Son came from God; what does it mean to you!

Welcome to wisdom; Christ rising third day!

  • The conclusion I came to is Biblical times does not relate 3 days 3 nights to 72 hours like us today;

  • Hebrews count evening to day ( Gens 1 ) as 1 day, not midnight to midnight, so it would be like us calling 8pm, or sundown to 6am, or sunrise 1 day;

  • Matt 12:40; Esther 4:16, both use 3 days, 3 nights, but both have those 3 days, 3 nights terminated on THE THIRD DAY!, according to ( Lk 13:32 ), and ( Esther 5:1 ); Esther called a 3 day, night fast 4:16, but appeared done with fast on third day 5:1;

  • Jesus was crucified on preparation day ( Jn 19:14 ), which is on Friday ( Mk 15:42-43 ), and found on the first day of the week, Sunday ( Jn 20:1 )

  • So Friday 1, Saturday 2, rose of Sunday 3! ( So 1st day COULD be Thursday night, ( to us today ), according to OUR calendar, but we celebrate according to JEWISH calendar.

Welcome to wisdom; Can believer be Spirit indwell, and demon possessed?

  • The bible does not specifically speak on this, but matching scripture the answer is no

  • Possessed means to own, be property of,  you can be possessed in soul, or body as believer, but not spirit ( Rom 8:16 )

  • When you are a child of God,  the Holy Spirit dwells in you ( Rom 8:11 ), which means you are owned by God

  • Demons can have an influence on your soul, mind, will, emotions, ( Rom 8:6 ), ( Gal 5: 16-18 )

( 1 Jn 4:4 ) ( 2 Cor 13: 5-6 ) – Greater is he, Holy Spirit, in us, then he, demons that are in the world, not in you 1 Jn 4:4, and when Christ is in us we are not reprobate, beyond hope of salvation, which would mean, we are not saved if reprobate 2 Cor 13: 5-6

Welcome to wisdom: What is God’s discipline, and pruning, chastening?

  • God’s discipline ( Heb 12:5-11 ), and pruning ( Jn 15:1-3 ) are both done through His word ( 2 Tim 3:16; 1 Cor 10:6-11; Jn 15:3 ) God is a Spirit, and after Jesus, deals with us, through our spirit ( Jn 6:63; Heb 12:9 ); His word does all the disciplining we need!

  • A parent disciplines their child by words, yes you might eventually, SOMETIMES get to a physical spanking, but parents discipline through words, so does God through His word; the physical discipline comes from US, NOT listening to His word;

If sins don’t affect our nature, reborn spirit with God, what does sins affect?

  • ( Eph 5:5; Gal 5:19-21; 1 Cor 6:9-11 )- All say lists of sins, that you can’t inherit, or be an inheritance in God’s kingdom; Inherit, means you will not posses the things of the kingdom, in your daily life; Inheritance means, people of that NATURE ( Eph 2:3 ), not an act, example- just because you commit sins, don’t mean your a sinner; a coveter, is different from someone who commits an act of covet; ( Rom 8:16; 1 Jn 3:9; 2 Cor 5:17 )- say, our reborn spirit, is perfect, can’t sin, and is our new NATURE, in Christ; Which means, When you become a new NATURE, which is MADE from God ( Eph 4:24 ), if you commit acts of sin, your soul, and body is affected ( Rom 6:1-9, 15-16 ), but spirit is not touched ( Eph 1:13; 4:30 )

  • Since this is true, what’s the point of living holy, and right?, Answer, because you reap what you sow, everything has consequences ( Gal 6:7-9; Rom 3:23; 6:16 )

God repenting? ( Jonah 3:9 )

  • Repent is just a turn, change of mind, so God repenting is always right to right, never wrong to right; In Jonah’s case, it was judgment to mercy! In other words, God warned them, and they listened;

Was Israel in bondage 400 years ( Gens 15:13 ), or 430 years ( Ex 12:40; Gal 3:17 )?

  • God prophesied  in ( Gens 15:13 ), that they would be AFFLICTED 400 years; ( Ex 12:40 )- emphasized that they JOURNEYED 430 years; Only conclusion is, the 30 years not accounted for must have be NON- AFFLICTED years;

Scripture not clear of subjects- example- coffee, cigarettes, cremation, etc;

  • When scripture is silent about subjects, use ( 1 Cor 6:12; 1 Cor 10:23 )- All things are lawful, but don’t pursue things if they are not edifying, or don’t be in bondage to nothing;

What’s God’s view of intersex, male, and female, adding, and subtracting body parts?

  • God made them male, and female, and it was good ( Gen 1:27; 1:31 ); Intersex is a defect at birth, not God’s will ( Jn 9:1-3 );

  • Adding, subtracting, body parts is sin ( Deut 23:1 );

  • Eunuchs born, is defect ( Lev 21:20 22:24 ); man made them, they themselves made them, is Eunuchs practicing celibacy, and that’s a gift ( Matt 19:11-12 );

  • Why would Jesus pray, and worship God the Father if he is God? Because Jesus is our example here on earth, on how a human that’s connected with God should be ( 1 Pet 2:21; Philip 2:6-7 );

Why does the Bible say Cain had a wife, when there were no human female besides Eve recorded before them ( Gens 4:17 )?;

  • Cain slept with his sister, that they didn’t name, because Adam, and Eve had SONS, and DAUGHTERS ( Gens 5:4 )

Is the order of gifts in ( 1 Cor 12:28 ), meant to be a chain of command?

  • No, it’s not for ruling over, or chain of command, but for order of examples ( 1 Pet 5:1-3 ); Apostles establish churches, Prophets speak forth the chruch, teachers teach people that are now in the church, etc;

What language will we speak in heaven?

  • ( Acts 26:14 ), stats we will speak Hebrew language in heaven

Is Ahaziah’s age in ( 1 Kings 8:26 ) 22, a contradiction to ( 2 Chron 22:2 ) 42?

  • No contradiction- ( 1 Kings 8:26 ), is the beginning of his KINGLY FAMILY rule, as it says in verse 26, his mom Athaliah was daughter of Omri- KING OF ISRAEL, he was son in law at time v27 ! Also, his dad died when he was 40, how could he be King ( alone ) at 22, when he dad didn’t die til 40 ( 2 Chron 21:5 )

  • ( 2 Chron 22:2 )- 42 he reigned, with the counselor of his mom, AFTER dads death;

Did God’s prophecy about Josiah’s death not come to pass in ( 2 Chron 34:23-28 ) ( 34:28 gathered toʻ grave in peace ), but ( 35:24 ), died in war?

  • It came to pass ( from all curses in land, not from disobedience in war )

  • 1- In ( 2 Chron 35:20-24 ), Josiah showed disobedience to God’s command about Necho.

  • 34:28- God was referring to “Gathered to his grave in peace FROM ALL THE CURSES OF THE LAND, and his wrath he will bring upon sinful Judah” ( verse 34:24-25 ), NOT when in disobedience with helping Necho.

  • 2- Prophesies are CONDITIONAL, and UNCONDITIONAL- Conditional-  ( Jn 14;12 )- He that believe shall do works I do……, there is a way to believe, some might not see a work Jesus did because they didn’t believe long enough etc. Unconditional- ( Gens 9:13 )- rainbow to signify not to destroy earth with flood again.
