Because so many of my new online friends are ministers, preachers, or regular church attendees, I have a new feature that I would like to keep up with once per week. I am going to be posting a few questions that I have always wondered about and many new ones that arise as I make my way through the Bible.
So preachers, ministers, teachers, elders, deacons, etc, etc, add me to your feed reader and submit your answers, and tell your preacher / minister friends to do the same. It will be interesting to see different viewpoints and interpretations and get answers to questions that I can’t be the only one wondering about. I will try to get all questions up by Saturday night.
Week One Questions
1. Was God literally walking in the Garden of Eden? How can / should this be interpreted?
Gen 3:8
2. Where did Cain’s wife come from? Gen 4:17
3. How many of each kind of animal did Noah bring onto the Ark? Gen 6:20, and Gen 7:2
4. After Herod died, Jesus was told by the Lord, in a dream, to go to Israel. Once Jesus heard “Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee, and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. Was this disobeying the Lord’s order to go to Israel, was the second dream from the Lord, or was this disobedience? Mt 2:19-23
5. How was baptism different before and after the crucifixion? Mt 3:4-6
6. I think this question was answered in a sermon a few months ago, but I will pose it again for alternate responses and for those who have wondered the same thing. Why was Jesus baptized? He had no sins to forgive. Mt 3:13-15
