My understanding has always been that the Hebrew word HAM means black. As you know he was the second son of Noah whose descendants settled Egypt and Africa.

Q

I’m shocked about the apostasy found in the “church” today. Is this normal? How shocked about it do you think the average person is?

They Will Not Taste Death. Follow Up

Published: December 5, 2011
Q

I have a question about your recent post entitled “They Will Not Taste Death” in which you said, “There they were momentarily transported to the time of the 2nd Coming where they saw Moses and Elijah talking with the Lord in His glory.” I am familiar with the Transfiguration of Jesus, but had never heard before that what the disciples were seeing was the time of the Second Coming. Where does it say in scripture specifically that they were present at the Second Coming?


He Denied Them Twice. Follow Up

Published: December 4, 2011
Q

Re: He Denied Them Twice. Did those in Matt. 7:22-23 believe they were doing God’s will? Did they believe the Lord sanctioned their actions? It would seem they did if they approached Christ expecting Him to recognize them. Did God, then, allow them to deceive themselves and believe they were saved when they really were not?


Isaiah Vs. Mohammed

Published: December 4, 2011
Q

What is the difference between Mohammed’s supposed experience of receiving a revelation from the angel Gabriel and, say, Isaiah’s experience of receiving a revelation from God in the OT? Is it a matter of belief and disbelief? Put in another way, what makes Isaiah’s account of his divine experience more reliable than Mohammed’s? And how do we explain the rapid expansion of Islam after Mohammed started teaching his ‘revelation’?


Do They Have Glorified Bodies?

Published: December 3, 2011
Q

Here is a question which has puzzled me for a rather long time. If I understand correctly, all of the Old Testament and New Testament Saints who have passed away are in Paradise right now. Do they already have glorified bodies? If they already have glorified bodies, then what bodies will rise from the graves during the Rapture?


Who Fathered The Nephilim?

Published: December 3, 2011
Q

I used to believe that the Nephilim came from human men and human women until my mother said they came from fallen angels and human women. My pastor recently did a study on it and said he believes they come from men who were the offspring of Anak and human women. He says that it doesn’t say anywhere in the Bible that the “men of renown or heroes of old” were the offspring of fallen angels. How do we prove that those texts actually refer to fallen angels?


How Old Was Shem?

Published: December 2, 2011
Q

Genesis 5:32 says Noah became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth when he was 500. The flood came whe he was 600, by then Shem should be 100 years old. But Genesis 11:10 says two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old…., it does not match the above verse, Shem should be 102 instead 100. Why a 2-year gap here? Or did I miss anything?
