Where did Judas get the rope that hung himself?
In the Bible, the specific source of the rope that Judas used to hang himself is not explicitly mentioned. However, it is possible that Judas obtained the rope from a variety of common materials available during that time period, such as hemp, flax, or leather. The focus of the biblical account is more on the betrayal of Jesus and the consequences of Judas' actions rather than the specifics of the rope itself.
Does the band Scorpions believe in Jesus Christ?
The band Scorpions' beliefs regarding Jesus Christ are not explicitly stated in their music or public statements. As musicians, their focus is primarily on creating and performing music rather than discussing personal religious beliefs. It is possible that individual members may have varying beliefs, but as a group, their stance on religion is not a prominent aspect of their public persona.
What should we do to go to heaven?
Surrender your life to God; Believe in your heart that He sent His only begotten Son: Jesus Christ that He may save you and confess with your mouth that He is Lord because he rose from the dead three days after his crucifixion to go back to heaven, so He can judge us.
Once you have done this, try to develop a personal relationship with your heavenly father, through reading his word (Bible), praying ( personal encounter with God), and you will probably find useful to turn aside from your old ways and find like-minded people to fellowship with (Bible teaching church).
After this, it's all about working out your own salvation with fear and trembling, knowing that the love of God never fails and He will never leave you nor forsake you so when you will be absent from the body, you will indeed be close to Him (in heaven).
Where does the Bible state that Mary rode a donkey to Bethlehem?
John Dominic Crossan (The Birth of Christianity) says that village carpenters were usually among the poorest of the poor, scarcely able to afford the necessities of life. Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) says that Mary's offering of pigeons in the Temple is clear proof of how poor the couple must have been. On this evidence, it is inconceivable that Joseph and Mary could have owned a donkey or that they could have hired a donkey for the long and dangerous trip to Bethlehem.
What did the Council of Laodicea in AD 336 recognize as the New Testament?
The Council of Laodicea in AD 336 recognized the same 27 books of the New Testament that are commonly accepted today by most Christian denominations. These books include the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles of Paul, and the Book of Revelation. The Council's decision helped solidify the canon of the New Testament and establish a standard set of scriptures for the Christian faith.
Was John blind when he wrote Revelation?
Because the author of the Book of Revelation identified himself as 'John', the book was once attributed to the apostle John. However, scholars say that he is most unlikely to have been the real author, and for this reason now refer to the uthor of Revelation as John of Patmos. The fanciful tradition that the apostle John was boiled in oil then exiled to Patmos was needed in order to get him to Patmos so that he could write the book there. Since this John was not the author, we do not need the oil, nor the exile. Without all these punishments, there is no reason to imagine John of Patmos as being blinded.
What Longest chapter in the New Testament?
Mark 14 with 72 verses is the third longest. And Matthew 26 with 75 verses is the second longest!
What great miracle appears only in John?
A:
The author of John's Gospel wrote a story of the resurrection of Lazarus, loosely based on a parable found in Luke's Gospel, and made this the trigger for the arrest of Jesus, rather than the Cleansing of the Temple, which was therefore moved to the beginning of the Gospel.
Luke and John are the only books in the Bible that mention sisters called Mary and Martha, and also the only gospels that mention Lazarus, but in Luke, the resurrection of Lazarus was only hypothetical. John has an important episode, in which Jesus visited the sisters, Mary and Martha, and resurrected their dead brother, Lazarus (John 11:43-44).
What is the longest verse in the acts of apostles?
Oh, dude, the longest verse in the Acts of the Apostles is Acts 20:9. It's like this epic tale of a guy named Eutychus who falls asleep during a super long sermon by Paul and then falls out of a window. Talk about a rough day at church, am I right?
Where in the bible does the woman dry Jesus feet with her hair?
Lk:7:38: And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
How many times did Jesus call God His Father?
Oh honey, Jesus called God His Father a whopping 165 times in the New Testament. That's right, He was all about that father-son relationship. So, if you ever need a reminder of the importance of family, just take a leaf out of Jesus' book...literally.
Is veronica the same person as Mary magdalene?
Well, isn't that an interesting thought? Veronica and Mary Magdalene are actually two different individuals from biblical stories. Veronica is known for wiping the face of Jesus on the way to the crucifixion, while Mary Magdalene is known for being a devoted follower of Jesus and witnessing his resurrection. It's wonderful to explore these stories and learn more about the inspiring people in them.
In The Satanic Verses who or what does Ellowen Deeowen mean?
Oh, what a lovely question! Ellowen Deeowen is a mysterious character in "The Satanic Verses" by Salman Rushdie. This name symbolizes the duality of human nature and the constant interplay between good and evil within us all. It's like a happy little reminder that we all have light and darkness within us, and that's what makes us beautifully complex.

What is the Symbolic meaning of bronze in the Bible?
In Daniel's 2nd chapter, King Nebuchadnezzar has a dream [a vision] that turns out to be a "parable" and a "prophecy"... and a "revealing" to him by God, regarding THE GOSPEL OF THE COMING KINGDOM OF GOD.
God grants Daniel the privilege and honor to "interpret" the vision to him.
The king's dream is of a colossus... a huge image of a "metallic man" composed from the head, down, of four different "metals": gold, silver, bronze and iron - mixed with clay. This "metallic man" existed for a time, before being smashed to pieces by a "mysterious MOUNTAIN" whereby the pieces were crushed to powder and blown away by the wind... whereupon, the Great Mountain [the Kingdom of God] grew and filled the whole earth.
Each of these metals is revealed by God through Daniel to be [at that time in world history] "future world-ruling kingdoms" [THE GOVERNMENTS OF MAN]-- of whom King Nebuchadnezzar was the "kingdom of gold;" BABYLON.
"Your Majesty, you are a king over many kings. The God of heaven has given you sovereignty, power, strength and honor... You are this head ofgold. But after your kingdom comes to an end, another great kingdom, inferior to yours, will rise and take your place. After that kingdom has fallen, yet a third great kingdom, represented by the BRONZE belly and thighs, will rise to rule the world." (Dan.2:37-39 NLT New Living Translation)
World history reveals that the "silver" kingdom that followed Babylon was the Persian Empire... after which came the "BRONZE" kingdom: the Greco-Macedonian Empire. And this, of course, was followed by the "iron" kingdom; the Roman Empire.
It's these four great world-ruling empires [symbolized by decreasingly valuable metals with the passing of time; the "value" in the eyes of God representing their decreasing lack of spiritual awareness and faith: King Nebuchadnezzar even has his own chapter in Daniel 4], that formed the combined nucleus and pattern for the system of man's government that rules the world to this day.
Daniel, too, had a dream or "vision" of these same four kingdoms... only in his dream, they were "BEASTS" -- which gives us an idea of how God views man's governments. Instead of "metal," the descending "value" in Daniel's dream was of the decreasing power and strength of the first three kingdoms: A Lion - Babylon; a Bear - Persia; and a Leopard - Greece. These first three "beastly kingdoms" were actual beasts, creatures, found among God's creation. But, the fourth beast, Rome, was like nothing in God's creation. It defied a description of anything "natural" in creation. It was "perverse":
"...I saw the fourth beast, terrifying, dreadful, and very strong. It devoured and crushed its victims with huge iron teeth and trampled what was left beneath its feet. It was different from any of the other beasts, and it had ten horns." (Dan.7:7 NLT)
The biblical prophecies for the time of the end [of God's 6000 year plan of Salvation for mankind] reveal that the combined traits of these four world-ruling kingdoms [their customs and traditions, religious influences, philosophies, etc] are still influencing and governing the world, today.
"...I [John] saw a Beast rising up out of the sea [of humanity on the earth]... This Beast looked like a leopard, but it had bear's feet and a lion's mouth! And the Dragon [Satan - see Rev.12:9] gave him his own power and throne and great authority." (Rev.13:1-2 NLT)
The study is deep... and it's a continuing one, that will conclude with the return of Jesus Christ and the "Mountain Kingdom" that will smash all of man's errant government rule on the earth; which the Bible calls "GOSPEL" or "Good News" [see Mark 1:14-15].
But, it was the influence of the "bronze" kingdom, Greece, that gave the world its modern, convoluted, philosophical views that are still being taught in the schools and universities of higher-learning in the world, today. That's what "bronze" represents in the Bible.
What is the name of the religion founded by Jesus?

Will everyone hear the gospel before Jesus return?
According to Christian theology, the belief that everyone will hear the gospel before Jesus returns is not explicitly stated in the Bible. Some Christian denominations believe in the concept of "preaching to all nations" before the second coming of Jesus, based on verses like Matthew 24:14. However, others interpret this differently, suggesting that the timing and extent of gospel proclamation are not definitively outlined. Ultimately, the specifics of this belief vary among Christian traditions and individual interpretations of scripture.
Who was the oldest person in the New Testament?
Well, honey, that title goes to good ol' Methuselah in the Old Testament, not the New Testament. In the New Testament, we don't have anyone breaking Methuselah's record. So, if you're looking for someone to give that guy a run for his money, you're out of luck in the New Testament.
