^^that's interesting that it is exactly a double portion twice 14 is 28...I know it says double portion but I never thought that it would be exact.
 
softblackcotton... thanks for the link.... that's right, double. You're next... (I'll sit on my hands.. lol)

I love what Elisha said to Elijah
2 Kings 2:9
When they reached the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, “What can I do for you before I’m taken from you? Ask anything.”
Elisha said, “Your life repeated in my life. I want to be a holy man just like you.”

B: Zacchaeus

Luke 19:1-10

Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.

2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy.

3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.

5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.

7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”

8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”



9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost
.”

Healthy Hair, thank you for posting this question. As I was reading the scripture, I was reminded that this account of Zacchaeus ministers to the lost who wish to be found.

Zacchaeus, was seeking 'Salvation' (repentence of his sins) from the beginning when he climbed the tree to see Jesus, his Redeemer.
 
Yes :yep:

But to whom and why?

:bighug:
He was speaking to the lame man who always stayed by the gate called Beautiful. The man saw them coming and begged them for money. Peter told him that "Silver and Gold have I not, but what I do have...get up and walk!" But, what I love about this story is that the man believed right away because he lifted his hand to him, and Peter lifted him up and the man walked!!!
 
Yes, and I apologize.

My 'Scriptural Orientation' is KJV... :yep:

Although, I'll post other translations, most scriptures that I have locked in my memory are KJV.
Yes....me too, Shimmie! I'll use other versions at times, but my study time is KJV!:yep:
 
What was God's judgement on Aaron and Miriam for speaking against Moses? What happened next?

GOD let the both of them know that they had no right to speak against Moses the way they did. Miriam became a leper (for a week) Aaron begged for Moses to forgive them and heal her.

Name what Gideon used a sign from God and describe how he knew this was a sign.

delitefulmane

Judges

Gideon used a wool fleece, in latter part of verse 37 'underlined' describes the sign he would look for from God.

Judges 6:36-38
36 Then Gideon said to God, “If you are truly going to use me to rescue Israel as you promised, 37 prove it to me in this way. I will put a wool fleece on the threshing floor tonight. If the fleece is wet with dew in the morning but the ground is dry, then I will know that you are going to help me rescue Israel as you promised.”38 And that is just what happened. When Gideon got up early the next morning, he squeezed the fleece and wrung out a whole bowlful of water.
 
According to Ecclesiastes, what two things does a wise man's heart discern?

Blessing and calamity
Wisdom and folly
Time and judgment
Flesh and spirit
