Hello;
My dad is reading through the Bible and asks many good questions; some basic, some deep....
I am swamped.
Could you help me formulate very simple answers to these questions!? I need some time with my family and it will take 2 weeks otherwise to answer these questions (and I want to answer them quickly while my dad is interested. He is slowly working through Scripture and I want to encourage him while the zeal is there).
Here they are. Remember, short and simple answers without a lot of jargon or special terminology. Keep it simple, irenic, not preachy and not overly negative.:
#1- Should we be using the Living Bible and the Good news Bible , or should we stick with the King James Version. I ask because we have had just a few contradictions.
Example = Samuel 6--13 to 19, King James says 50070 were killed and the Living Bible says only 70 killed, I just want to get it right.
#2- When were the Hebrews first called Jews.
#3- What did Saul do wrong in --- Samuel 13-- 10 thr 14.
#4- In Samuel 19--18 thr 24 Prophesied, as used there what does it mean?
#5- Samuel 28--13 thr 25 where did Samuel come from when the familiar spirit called him up the grave, or from Heaven, from a Limbo nether world?
#6- Samuel 2 Six Six Uzzah touched the Ark and was killed for trying to stop it from falling. I don't get it .
#7-Can a person do Bad things For good reasons or V.Versa. Example = Judges 11---29 thr 30 The Vow, The Sacrafice.
#8- What is the Wave Offering and the Heave Offering.
#9- Joshua 10--12 it speaks of the Book Of Jasher-- were the Sun and Moon stood still for the prayers of one man. What is the Book Of Jasher?
#10- Were there other people in the world at the time of the Tower Of Babel-- at other places or was that everyone in the world right there. Thats when the languages were changed, so if there was other people. Then what. What are your thoughts on that?
This is not a question But, Moses by the order of God gave the people land , BEFORE IT WAS EVEN TAKEN or CONQUERED. I read that Hitler did the same thing in WW2. He had already give different states in the U.S. to various people and groups.
#11- Was Moses married to an Ethiopian ==Miriam Exodus 15--20 Miriam Numbers 12--1
Thanks guys! I await your answers, from which I will try to compile and send back.
