In the story the grave grass quivers how is Eli Goble's ''gift'' to the community ironic?
In the story "The Grave Grass Quivers," Eli Goble's "gift" to the community is ironic because it is initially perceived as a positive contribution due to his ability to predict deaths. However, this gift ultimately brings fear and unease to the community as they realize the implications of his predictions. The irony lies in the fact that a gift meant to bring comfort and closure ends up causing distress and paranoia among the townspeople.
How many times is truth used in the bible?

What three questions does Jesus directly answer in the Bible?
Well, honey, Jesus wasn't playing 20 questions in the Bible, but if you want some direct answers, here you go: He answered questions about paying taxes (Matthew 22:17-22), the greatest commandment (Matthew 22:36-40), and his identity as the Son of God (Mark 14:61-62). Hope that clears things up for ya!

The Good News
Amplified
and there are others too.
Guardians who announce the good news?
The term "guardians who announce the good news" likely refers to angels in religious contexts, such as in Christianity. In the Bible, angels are often depicted as messengers who bring important announcements, including the good news of Jesus Christ's birth and resurrection. These guardians are believed to serve as intermediaries between the divine and humanity, delivering messages of hope, guidance, and salvation.
A Judas gate is a type of gate used in livestock management systems, typically in cattle handling facilities. It consists of a small gate within a larger gate, allowing only one animal to pass through at a time. This design helps prevent animals from escaping or re-entering a pen or chute once they have been sorted or separated. The term "Judas gate" is derived from the biblical figure Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus, as the gate controls the movement of animals in a similar way.
Is the name William in the Bible?
Oh honey, William didn't make the guest list in the Bible. That book is more about Adams, Eves, and Jesuses than Williams. But if you're looking for some biblical vibes, try searching for names like David, Moses, or even good ol' Noah.
How Tall was Apostle Paul in the Bible?
No one really knows. However, some ancient documents record very brief scanty details of his appearance - as a short man with a bald head and slightly bowed legs. Such images include a diptych (2 paintings joined together) dating from the 4th century, a large medallion dating from an early Roman cemetery and a glass dish dating from the early 2nd century now in the British Museum. the 'Acta Pauli et Theelae' suggest a short man. Folklaw says that he was nicknamed 'the man of three cubits' a cubit being around 18-20 inches suggesting that Paul was under five feet tall. Other accounts suggest that Paul was broad shouldered, bald, aquiline nosed, eyebrows closely knit, with a thick, greying beard, a fair complexion and had an affable manner. These artefacts and accounts are not authoritative however, and can not be taken seriously or regarded with any certainty. One thing we do know is that Paul had some sort of affliction; he called it his 'thorn in the flesh'(2 Corinthians 12: 7-10). Many speculations have been made to what this could have been. Some have suggested that he had arthritis - hence his bow legs. Others have sugested that he had a stammer; others that he had poor eyesight (caused by the Damascus road experience - and evident in his letters as he dictated them only writing the endings himself in some), some thought it meant an explosive temper, others that he had epilepsy. This latter affliction seems more likely as Paul refers to his fear of rejection (unfounded) by the Galatians (Galatians 4:14) as epilepsy in those days was thought of as demonic. Furthermore, some scholars think that he may well have exhibited a fit in Acts 22:11 when he speaks of 'falling into a trance'. Unless authoritative documents are unearthed, in the same way as the dead sea scrolls were, I guess we will never really know his actual appearance this side of glory.
All the times Savior refers to Christ is ALL the time. The words "THE LORD" or LORD referring to God is actually a mis-translation - replacing God's real name for His title. All times you see LORD in caps you should use His name Yahweh. The Father and Son are called Yahweh as well as the Holy Spirit. God has some 70 names in scripture. LORD is just a title and not a name. Yahweh (or Jehovah) means literally, "He who will be", and occurs 6,829 times in the Old Testament. Yahweh was revealed to Moses as God's new and memorial name, as recorded in Exodus 6:3, which reads, "I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty (Ail Shaddai), but by my name Jehovah (Yahweh) was I not known to them". The difference between Ail Shaddai and Yahweh is that whereas the former only denoted past and present, the latter is prophetical, and therefore full of meaning concerning God's purpose and plan of salvation <--- hence SAVIOR!! The Hebrew word Elohim, translated "God" throughout the first chapter of Genesis, and generally so throughout the Scriptures, occurs about 2,600 times, and in 56 texts in its singular form of Eloah, 41 of which are found in the Book of Job.

Luke wrote in his Gospel that on the evening of the day of his resurrection, Jesus went with the disciples near Bethany, where he ascended bodily into heaven. In Acts, written somewhat later, the same author tells us that Jesus remained on earth for forty days after his resurrection and then rose into heaven. The account in Acts does not specifically say, but implies by use of the word 'rose' that Jesus was lifted up bodily, more or less as in the author's earlier work.
The authors of the other gospels did not say what the risen Jesus did after he visited the disciples.
Was the apostle Paul a boat builder tentmaker or a tax collector?
Paul was a tent maker
Act 18:2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, for Emperor Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them,
Act 18:3 and stayed and worked with them, because he earned his living by making tents, just as they did.
How many countries have not heard of Jesus Christ?
Few people in the world today have never heard of Jesus. Even if people have listended to missionaries, such as those of the Joshua Project, and rejected the message, they have at least heard of Jesus.
The Joshua Project cites 2.74 billion people as unreached with the gospel of Christ.
Where in the bible can you find God reveals to redeem?
One will find the word Redeem written in several places I would assume the most important would be Leviticus 19, 25, 27 which is the law
and Deuteronomy 7,9,13,15,21,24
Also its listed in many of the Psalms 19,25,26,31, 34,44,49, 69,71,72,74,77,78,103,106,107,130,136
Its listed several times in Isaiah and a few times among the minor prophets.
In what city did Simon the Pharisee Live?
Jesus may have been still in Nain, where he recently resurrected a widow's son, or perhaps he is visiting a city nearby. A Pharisee named Simon desires a closer look at the one who is performing such remarkable works. So he invites Jesus to have a meal with him. Viewing the occasion as an opportunity to minister to those present, Jesus accepts the invitation.
What were the Hebrew names of the 12 Apostles of Jesus Christ?
Y'hochanan = John (Hebrew origin).
Mattithyahu = Matthew (Hebrew origin).
Ya'aqov = James (Hebrew origin meaning Jacob).
Bar-Tôlmay = Bartholomew (Aramaic, which is related to Hebrew).
Judah = Jude / Saint Jude (not to be confused with Judas Iscariot, Hebrew origin).
Yehuda = Judas Iscariot (Hebrew origin, Betrayed Yeshua/Yehosua the Messiah).
Cephas / Kephas = Peter (Hebrew / Aramaic origin meaning "Rock").
Tau'ma = Thomas (Aramaic origin).
Andrew = Andrew (Greek origin. Is the brother of Cephas / Kephas).
Phillip = Phillip (Greek origin).
You will note that there are only 11 names, that is because there were 2 Apostles named Ya'aqov (James), which brings the total to 12 apostles.
As far as who was or could be an Apostle (potentially 15 of them), there are debates on this.
What size were the sardines caught in the Sea of Galilee during Jesus' day?
Oh, dude, you're really taking me back! So, back in Jesus' day, those sardines were probably like, small, you know? Like, they were probably just regular sardine size, not like those mega sardines you see in fancy cans nowadays. But hey, who knows, maybe Jesus was out there catching some jumbo sardines for a fish fry miracle or something!
Why did Christ's ancestry matter to the first Jewish readers of Matthew's gospel?
The author of Matthew's Gospel sought, in two different ways in his genealogy of Jesus, to prove that Jesus was destined for greatness. The first way was to demonstrate that Jesus was descended from the great Zorobabel, son of Salathiel, and also from King David. The second was to use numerology to show that great people and momentous events occurred every fourteen generations in Jewish history, and that Jesus was fourteen generations removed from Josiah and was also was destined to be great.
The author demonstrated that there were 14 generations: from Abraham to David; from David to Josiah; from Josiah to Jesus. To do this, he had to ignore 3 kings in the Old Testament and have David in the preceding (as 14) and following (as 1) groups, but not so Josiah. Then, we have no possible way of verifying Matthew'slist of Jesus' ancestors from the time of the Exile.
The author of Luke's Gospel, knowing nothing of Matthew, also wrote a genealogy for Jesus, but placed completely different people in the same ancestry. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that while Luke's list is less classically monarchical than Matthew's, there is little likelihood that either is strictly historical. Nevertheless, the readers were no doubt impressed by the evidence that either of them purported to provide.
Although in Acts 2 on the day of Pentecost it says:
"...there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were filled with the Holy Spirit..." (Acts 2:3-4)...
...what some men refer to as the "baptism of fire" isn't what they think it is.
John the Baptist said it to a group of Pharisees who came to one of his baptisms one day, to scowl... and hopefully to find some fault with him... to, perhaps, initiate a spontaneous stoning of John.
"...when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?... I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, and WITH FIRE..." (Matt.3:7-11).
Truth be known - these are two distinct "baptisms" (burials)... not, the same thing worded differently. We should want the FIRST baptism... not the second one.
The FIRE John speaks of is the LAKE OF FIRE... into which those who don't receive the Holy Spirit and redemption shall be cast.
John's baptism was the baptism "unto repentance." It was a person's personal decision to begin to obey the laws of God and turn away from sin. John was warning the Pharisees and Sadducees to "repent" of their ways:
"...I indeed baptize you with water UNTO REPENTANCE..." (verse 11)... John said.
But then, came the warning:
"...He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit (SAVE YOU), and with fire (or BURN YOU)"!!!
The proof is in the verses that follow:
"...the fire: WHOSE FAN IS IN HIS HAND, and He will THROUGHLY PURGE HIS FLOOR, and gather His wheat into the garner; but HE WILL BURN UP THE CHAFF WITH UNQUENCHABLE FIRE." (verses 11-12)
The "baptism of fire" that some professing Christian denominations preach about, shout about and scream about... IS NOT WHAT THEY THINK IT IS. It's not some kind of "better-than-average" baptism that surpasses a regular old everyday baptism. It's the punishment of the wicked who refuse God's Salvation.
"As therefore the tares are gathered and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of this world (age). The Son of Man shall send forth His angels, and they shall GATHER OUT OF HIS KINGDOM ALL THINGS THAT OFFEND, and THEM WHICH DO INIQUITY; and SHALL CAST THEM INTO A FURNACE OF FIRE..." (Matt.13:40-42).

What is the meaning of 'excelsis'?
"In excelsis" is Latin for 'in the highest'. The phrase is found in many Christian expressions in the New Testament. It is also a part of the ordinary mass, and is the title of many major classical productions. Vivaldi, Bach,, Mozart and others have musical masses in which a significant section is entitled the excelsis, or Gloria in excelsis deo. YouTube has many performances of the Gloris, as part of major musical productions through the last few hundred years.

Why is Isaiah called the Fifth Gospel?
More than any other book of the Old Testament, the Book of Isaiah has been interpreted by Christians in an attempt to find evidence that it foresaw the coming of Jesus. Numerous passages of Isaiah have been assigned meanings considered consistent with the New Testament. These include the claim that Isaiah 7:14 prophesied the birth of a virgin and therefore, presumably, of Jesus, the Servant Songs, which now are seen as referring to Jesus, and many others.
Christians sometimes refer to the the Book of Isaiah because of the allusions to Jesus that they find within it.
