I've been watching the class lectures on Proverbs on biblicaltraining.com site and Bruce Waitke talks about Proverbs 1-9 and how Solomon contrasts wisdom who he personifies as a woman and the adulterous woman. Solomon warns his son to stay away from the wayward woman and to follow his...

I'm a little confused. In Matthew when Jesus is resurrected he tells the disciples to go to Galilee and there he will meet with them Matthew 28:10 and it says they did so in Matthew 28:16. Matthew has Jesus giving his disciples the Great Commission in Galilee, but doesn't specifically mention...

I was looking at Matthew 28 and I haven't ever thought of this before, but I wondered to myself why Matthew was so brief in telling the story of the resurrection? There are only 20 verses in Matthew and about the same in Mark, but Luke and John add things to the story that the other two don't...

The passage that was talked about today in church in scripture is in Genesis 12:8 where it says that Abram called upon the name of the Lord. the whole passage from the sermon was Genesisi 12:5-20. This is what verse 8 says: 8 "From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched...

I was reading the early part of Leviticus and it was talking about the burnt offering of goats and bulls for the consecration ceremony for Aaron and his sons. It also mentioned the sacrifices the people were to bring for sin and wave and fellowship offerings. I am wondering where these animals...

I noticed that in some places scripture seems to refer to the same mountain as either Mt.Sinai or Mt.Horeb? I was wondering if anyone on here had any thoughts about why it is calling the same place two different names?

What do you think is the purpose or relevance of the book of Judges today. Seems like to me it is a very bloody book with a lot of needless killing. For example, Jephthah makes a vow that if he is successful in battle he will sacrifice the first thing that comes out of his house. This man had...

I was wondering what everyone uses for bible study resources when you study the Bible on your own? Or if you study the Bible on your own? I have used the Blue Letter Bible site and studylight.org mainly. I got some commentaries recently from a library sale that were published by Cokesbury...

19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works...

Luke 6:45 "The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks." This seems like a very revealing statement to me. That in some ways we can see...

Mark 11:24 says "Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they shall be granted you." What do you say to the person who reads these words and then says, "I did ask for something and never got a response. God did not respond or give...

Here are some thoughts about John 4:1-18 as I studied it today. Chapter four starts by telling us that Jesus left Judea to go back to Galilee (where he had left in John 2:13) because the Pharisees and religious leaders had heard that Jesus' disciples were baptizing more than John's. In verse 5...

25 Therefore there arose a discussion on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purification. 26 And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him.” 27 John answered and said...

John 1:6-13 v.6 John describes John the Baptist as one who was "sent" much as Jesus was sent for a specific purpose. Much as he sends us now. The word sent is the transliterated word apostello- to order one to go to a place appointed, to send away, dismiss. John was one who was a witness of...

I read these words in the NASV and looked up the transliterated words for this verse in Ephesians 1:18 I pray that the eyes of your heart [fn]may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, "may be...

1 Corinthians 10:13 says "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." In the context of the chapter, these...

Philippians 3:7-11 7 But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them...

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. 13 Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the Lord has compassion on those who fear...

How blessed are those whose way is blameless, Who walk in the law of the Lord. 2 How blessed are those who observe His testimonies, Who seek Him with all their heart. Psalm 119:1-2 This was my quiet time verses today. I did a little digging to look at the meaning of some of these words...

1 Peter 2:21-24 says 1 For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, 22 who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth; 23 and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering...
