1. Singlehood?
No specific saying on whether singlehood is a "gift". 1 Corinthians 7: 25-40 speaks at length about singlehood
2. Purgatory?
When Jesus was on the cross, he told the thieves that he will see him in heaven today
3. Why is lineage important in the Bible?
To show the Jesus is the Son of Man and God
4. Incest ok? Genes pure?
Genes were mutated along the line
5. Nephilites? Genesis 6:4
Dennis to find out
6. People who were present before Jesus came - are they saved?
Hebrew 11 and 12 showsed that people before Jesus had faith in God. Symbolic animal sacrifices are done but they cannot clense their sins (Hebrews 10:4). In Romans 3:25 showed that they are justified by having faith in God and the forebearance of sins is done (to pay for the sins later by Jesus). It is followed by justification of faith in Romans 4.
7. Why did God destroy the whole world?
- Is it because there weren't any bible? "Re-start the world"?
- Regret after making man?
- It is because that there is no righteous man left in the world (refer Genesis 18)
8. Clean and unclean animals?
For the vision given to Paul, it is a symbolic vision to ask him to reach out to the Gentiles. There are 3 kinds of laws: ceremonial, communal and moral. First 2 doesn't apply to us anymore. Clean/Unclean animals are more communal laws as they are not able to eat unclean animals. Not being able to go to the temple if unclean (such as touching blood etc.) is most probably to re-emphasize the importance of keeping oneself clean, rather than being "spiritually unclean".
