1000 Philistines
The concept of demons dates back thousands of years across various cultures and religions. In Mesopotamian mythology, there are mentions of ancient demon-like beings such as Asag and Pazuzu. These entities predate many other demon figures found in religious texts.
It was to fulfill the Prophet Zechariah's prophecy that the Messiah would enter Jerusalem riding on a donkey. Also, Jesus was not a king with all the earthly trappings of wealth. It signified his great humility to be riding upon a beast of burden. He himself was to bear the burden of sins.
Good question. The King James translation and the Holman Christian Standard bible translation both say that He rode on both. As it says in verse 7, they laid their robes on them and He sat on them. Since it says He rode on both and I have a hard time picturing someone riding two animals at the same time and I assume that he rode on one at a time. In the old testament book of Zechariah, chapter 9 verse 9 it says, "... see, your King is coming to you; He is righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey." this was prophesy of Jesus riding into Jerusalem. It mentions two animals. The way it is written in Zechariah it could mean that He rode on the colt and it was just expounding on the fact that the colt was from a donkey or ass. Today all our Easter programs and paintings show Him atop a donkey. Since most paintings of Jesus show Him with blond hair and blue eyes we know that the paintings are up to the painters views. In the grand scheme of things, it is not important whether he rode one at a time or both at the same time, but rather that what was told in the old testament was true. It was prophesy fulfilled.-Edit: Secular Perspective Below-It is most likely that the author of Matthew was making a postdiction from the Old Testament quote from Zechariah 9:9. Matthew was not a very careful reader of the Old Testament. Zechariah 9:9 is a literary device known as 'Parallelism' where the author emphasizes something by repeating it. Matthew likely did not fully understand that Zechariah was describing the ass as a colt, rather than describing two separate animals, and so wrote in Matt 21:5 [KVJ] "Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass ", so Matthew has Jesus riding both animals, but Mark and Luke have only the Colt. -- I think the technical term for this is "Oops".Postdiction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostdictionParallelism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelism_%28rhetoric%29
The term "haneef" typically refers to a person who adheres to the monotheistic Abrahamic faith tradition, often associated with the original religion of Prophet Ibrahim in Islamic belief. It emphasizes a deep commitment to worshipping one true God and living a righteous life.
The Bible does not explicitly state that Mary rode a donkey to Bethlehem. The mention of a donkey in relation to Mary's journey to Bethlehem comes from Christian tradition and popular belief rather than direct biblical text. The Gospel of Luke simply states that Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem, but the mode of transportation is not specified.
Samson used the jawbone of an ass to kill Philistines. No weapon is mentioned in the story of Cain and Abel.
Judges 15:16 This does not answer my question! Samson slew 1000 Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. When did this happen? Last week? 2500 years ago? 600 BC? When?
Yes, yes he did
You may be talking about Samson who killed 1000 Philistines with the jawbone of an ass, and when he got thirsty after his efforts, God gave him water from a hollow in the jawbone. You can read about it in the book of Judges Ch.15 & vs,15 to 19. So the answer to your question is; God was the jawbone provider. Sometimes the Bible appears "inflammatory or offensive" when some parts are read alone. I cannot improve on this answer - I have only recounted a Bible story. Jesus himself said: "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." (Matthew 10:34)
you kill it with a rs-ass
Samson was one of the better-known Israelite Judges (Judges ch.13-16). He is famous for his vast strength, though most people don't realize that he was a learned man as well. See also:More about the Judges
