Why was it necessary for God to create the ten commandments?
In ancient times, laws were only as effective as the ruler who promulgated them, so the best laws were those based on religion. The Ten Commandments were the most important of many commandments in the Hebrew Bible and were written down as having been received from God, thus ensuring their absolute observance by the faithful. The Ten Commandments is a mix of codes to ensure proper religious observance, and rules for harmonious society.
The first four commandments focus on religious observance. In fact the first three commandments are essentially different ways of saying to worship no other god. The remaining six commandments focus on some rules for a harmonious society. We need not regard them as rules for strict moral conduct because, for example, the tenth commandment says not to do not covet that which belongs to your neighbour, including his wife and slaves. We no longer think of wives as mere chattels, and ownership of slaves is now considered morally repugnant.
The Ten Commandments hold a more honoured place in Christian religion than in modern Judaism. For Jews, although important, they are ten of the many important biblical laws they must obey. For Christians, the Ten Commandments are at the heart of the Old Testament.
What word describes the essence of creation in genesis one?
"imago Dei" which means, "God's image" is how we were created. If indeed we are created by God than this is of utmost importance and needs to be taken completely seriously. If God, the most powerful being, who MADE us, is true, and the Bible it true, then it shows that living for God is the only thing that matters!
If the Bible isn't true, then what is the purpose of life? this must be considered. We cannot live life on the fence, we must give everything to God, or else we are an enemy of God...and what a scary thing that is! (Hebrews 10:31) "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God"
So we must consider these things, make sure we know what we believe, or else we will waste this life and it will all be in vain.

According to the Bible, Enoch and Elijah are the only two people God took to heaven without them dying. Genesis 5:24 tells us, "Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away." Second Kings 2:11 tells us, "...suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind." Enoch is described as a man who "walked with God for 300 years" (Genesis 5:23). Elijah was perhaps the most powerful of God's prophets in the Old Testament. There are also prophecies of Elijah's return (Malachi 4:5-6).

Why did Cain and Seth have three descendants with the exact same name?
We do find several descendants of Cain with the same name as those of Seth, subject to translation of the original spelling:
Adam ............................................. Adam
........................................................ Seth
........................................................ Enos
Cain ............................................... Cainan (Cain)
Enoch ............................................ Mahalaleel (Mehujael)
Irad ................................................ Jared (Irad)
Mehujael ....................................... Enoch (Enoch)
Methusael ..................................... Metheluselah (Methusael)
Lamech ......................................... Lamech (Lamech)
This would be more apparent in the above comparison if the order of Mahalaleel, Jared and Enoch are reversed. The reason is no doubt the syncretism of two originally separate traditions.
What will happen to harlots at the time of rapture?
The concept of the rapture, as understood in Christian theology, generally teaches that true believers will be taken up to meet Jesus in the air. The fate of individuals like harlots is not explicitly detailed in this context, as it is believed that salvation is available to all who accept Jesus Christ as their savior, regardless of their past actions or occupations. Ultimately, it is believed that only God can judge the hearts of individuals at the time of the rapture.
Why did Jeroboam build temples in Dan and Bethel?
We know the moon god was represented at times by a bull, but at other times by a golden calf. This account is consistent with clues of moon god worship found in the stories of the Exodus and of the Israelite patriarchs. From this it can be seen that the moon god was a national god of Israel. The temples were for the worship of the moon god.
