Studying Job, we find two conclusions his friends repeatedly came to concerning Job which are theologically flawed. This is because they believed in an unyielding law of retribution from God: Sinners are cursed and therefore suffer; the Righteous are blessed and therefore live a life of ease. This led to Job’s friends to: 1. Condemn […]

Who Am I? One study method I enjoy is “Who Am I?”. The first part is where I give facts which leads others to figure out the answer based upon those facts. The more facts given, the more specific the answer. For example, “Who Am I?” 1. Given a land. 2. The given land was […]

There are four specially attractive “Beholds” (some translations say “here” instead of “behold”) connected with the Lord Jesus, and they wondrously harmonise with the predominant message of the four Gospels. 1. “Behold thy King” (Zech. 9:9), agreeing with the Gospel of Matthew wherein is drawn for us the portrait of the Lord Jesus as the […]

I will not say that Paul consciously alluded to Zechariah 3, but notice how Colossians 2-4 has many parallel thoughts to Zechariah 3. SATAN ACCUSES JOSHUA – Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Yahweh, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. • Colossians 2:14 – […]

Did the Israelites Plunder the Egyptians? Did the Israelites Plunder the Egyptians? I am going to argue that, no, they didn’t. The evidence for the Israelites plundering the Egyptians is Exodus 3:22 and 12:36. Very plainly, every translation I checked states that the Israelites plundered the Egyptians. What if these translations are wrong? The main […]

Hands in the Deborah Pericope (I’m writing a chapter on Deborah in my book on The Genesis of Gender Roles, and this is just extra thoughts not in the book) The word “hand” is one of the key words in the Deborah narrative, both metaphorically and physically. Hand means “power”. God’s hand is the ultimate […]

God said to Adam, “The day you eat from it you will certainly die” (Gen.2:17). Satan tempted to Eve, “You certainly will not die” (Gen.3:4). Then Adam and Eve ate but didn’t die. In defending God, some have suggested: 1. They did die that day, spiritually. Agreed, but is that what God meant in 2:17? […]

There’s Always Been Two Choices There’s always been two choices, two paths, two decisions. It started in the Garden of Eden. The enigmatic tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil can be understood simply. Obeying God by not eating led to life and functioning as God intended – Good. Eating led to death and […]

A High Value Man Is A Worthy Man A term used within our modern culture to describe men and women is “high value”. Sadly, “high value” is not God’s value. A “high value” man is judged based upon income, height, looks and other “biblically low values”. Also, a “high value” woman can look very little […]
