Reading the Bible, I saw that Noah was told to take seven pairs of clean animals and three pairs of unclean. What's the difference, and how was he to know?

annaspruell I listed MY (outside of the Bible) source (in a previous post), they didn't quote theirs. The website is managed by a non-denominational ministry run by a Christian author named Jack Kelley. I used the information from that site coupled with the knowledge...

I don't think it does. Rather I think worldly men--seeking peace with themselves--speculate that myth from peripheral references in the text. But I don't think that's how it works---Oh, it might seem like you go...

annaspruell Just my opinion, but I believe the verses iuliuxd quoted are not speaking of a physically dead person but a spiritually dead person. Christians die a physical death. They do not enter second death which is a spiritual death. The second set of verses are being...

I've been meditating on this one a long time and I have many ideas but would love to get some more thoughts on the subject. After attending an Old Testatment class I began to notice a pattern in scripture, when God "judged" man...

annaspruell Agreed. And that's exactly what I'm looking for. I need someone to give me alternate ideas about what God might define as judging. But, I want it backed up with scripture. I gave an example of such when I said I believe judging in God's sight means "action"...

annaspruell I totally agree with you on the fact that there are choices to be made. However, there is a very real sense of power as well within a school district, and therefore I believe, that the concept of making good choices is a different discussion. I know what I...

annaspruell Cool. To paraphrase, it pretty much said, that God gave Adam instruction on proper sacrifices after the expulsion from the garden, and though these instructions are also unrecorded, through the story of Cain and Abel we can discern that both Cain and Abel knew...

annaspruell I worry they catch lessons about competition that are unhealthy. Everything we do in our district these days is about competition. I worry that they catch horrible self-esteem lessons, because bullying is so prevalent in our school, but because it has yet to...

annaspruell Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and Job all give examples of the same definition of "judgement". God takes action, or calls others to take action for or against man's sinful ways. This is exactly what stirs my brain. Biblically speaking is there is a difference between...

annaspruell I partially agree with andy77e. I think everyone brings their own interpretation to the table when reading the Bible and I think God knew and even intended it to be that way. But, I also think that the Bible tends to define itself wherever necessary and it...

annaspruell I very rarely interpret the Bible in the literal sense either. But, I'm not really sure this is a "literal" kind of question. If the Bible says "judge ye not, lest ye be judged" then it seems to me that there has to be some solid, if not literal, definition of...

annaspruell In a recent classroom setting, in a class on education and being an educator, my professor said, "most things are 'caught' rather than 'taught'." I found this to be the truest statement I had ever heard, but it also frightened me. Having a child in high school...

annaspruell I am slightly confused about your response as I did leave the link and I had thought my response was phrased so that one would realize I had read a source outside of the Bible and left my opinion about it making sense to me. Sorry for any confusion.

annaspruell This is one of those situations where you have to look outside of what is specifically stated in the Bible and apply some discertion to what you're reading. It's hard work! I actually hadn't considered this until I found it here. Very good question! I knew the...

annaspruell I agree with you but I also disagree with you. Whether we like it or not, what you are describing is exactly what being on Facebook is all about. Social media has taken the place of human to human interaction. It has become, in affect, a virtual diary for all...
