I thought this was interesting how multiple people resurrected after Jesus came back alive on the third day.
"At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split. The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people. " - Matthew 27:51-53

All the translations say "bodies" too. Not spirits or "ghosts". Can you imagine that. Wonder what happened when they were done? "Alright peace out guys.... I'll see you at the second coming". Just go back to the their tombs and resume sleeping till the resurrection

Some translations leave out the part about the seed. " And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. " - Daniel 2:43 kjv Comparison link: biblehub.com/daniel/2-43.htm

In Ezra did the people divorce or just separate from their wifes? " (They all gave their hands in pledge to put away their wives, and for their guilt they each presented a ram from the flock as a guilt offering.) " - Ezra 10:19 NIV Different translations: biblehub.com/ezra/10-19.htm

I'm not sure what the difference is. In 10:3 they say to put away the children from these marriages also. Kinda like Hagar and Ishmael. Seems like it may as well be divorce but I also don't want to add to it something that it may not mean.

I've been quoting this verse wrong. I've neen leaving out 'the'. "The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." " - Genesis 2:18 I got the this post idea from this video. youtu.be/aBakJ2mlK08Edit: In Genesis 3:17 is the first time the bible reveals the man's name as Adam. Edit 2: It seems God only put guards on one side of Eden? "After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life." Genesis 3:24 NIV

He quotes it as "this man" not "the man" in the video. But you do generally hear people quote it "it's not good for man to be alone".

Regarding Genesis 3:17 being the first time the name "Adam" was used, I think that's true, but it's fairly subtle. The Hebrew word "adam" means "man" or "mankind." Check out Strong's 120 and 121. The first is the word meaning "a man" or "the man" or "mankind," and is used prior to Gen. 3:17. The second is the proper name "Adam," and is used for the first time in Gen. 3:17.

Interesting verse and how it can relate to prayer.
" "'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for one who believes." " - Mark 9:23 NIV

Somw translations of 1 Corinthians 7:36 leave out the part about a woman passing the proper age of being married. " But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry. " Translation comparison: biblehub.com/1_corinthians/7-36.htm

People talk about how God pre elects people. This verse reminded me of that subject. It's interesting that it talks about "elect angels".
" I charge you, in the sight of God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, to keep these instructions without partiality, and to do nothing out of favoritism. " 1 Timothy 5:21 NIV

Proverbs 20:30 is very weird.
" The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly. " KJV

Proverbs 20:30 is very weird. " The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly. " KJV What do you think it means. Blows and wounds scrub away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being. Niv Could blows/beatings also mean rebukes so as to cleanse/help refine someone?
