St. Joseph is traditionally viewed as a carpenter - however the word in Greek used to descripe him is 'tekton' which means more broadly an artisan or builder. It's not really clear what kind of material he worked with.

What I'm saying is it might be more accurate to ask what St. Joseph's profession was in common depiction. Or at least not inclued stonemason alongside carpenter, given there's an argument he was a stonemason rather than a wood-working carpenter.

Pedantic point, but the wording suggests that Bathsheba's husband was killed by David's soldiers. The biblical story, however, says that Uriah was put in harm's way and then abandoned, to be slaughtered by the enemy.

The Bible shows that God uses every to accomplish His will. Jacob was actually a terrible person that cheated his brother out of an inheritance and scammed his father in law. Judah slept with his Step mother, and Paul, killed more early Christians than many Romans. Just goes to show that God can use you even if you are a little or even very flawed.

The answer from Somequiztaker doubles as the answer to "how can evangelicals rationalize Trump?" Fascinating.

So: A candidate is a bit flawed and we disagree with the politics? "Stone him! Impeach him! Lock her up!" Flawed to the nth degree and totally against every moral law in the Bible but handing out candy in the shape of judges etc.? "Well, no one is perfect, God used Jacob and he was terrible too."

Slept with? Raped. If the king summons you to his bed-chamber can you really say no? If you can't say no, can you really say yes? If you can't say yes there's no consent. If it's not consensual, it's rape.

Rape not okay. If you study the Bible you will see that, and that there were bad consequences for David for his sin. Also that he was very repentant, and God forgave him.

For the last question, Joseph was already in Egypt. Jacob as head of the family technically led them from Palestine into Egypt. Joseph facilitated the move.

Yes, I got that wrong because I put Jacob who sent a "delegation" to see about getting some food and then the entire family went there in the end, led by Jacob. Not really accurate to say that Joseph "led" them to Egypt.

Joseph invited them to come though and they wouldn't have done so if he hadn't been there first, so I think it's fair to say Joseph is the answer.

Catholics dogma does not teach that Mary ascended into heaven. Dogma says she was "assumed". A subtle difference but basically saying that she was brought into heaven.

John 3:13 says: "Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven but the one who descended from heaven, the Son of man."

Could it be that Elijah went somewhere else?

I got stuck on this question for a little while too. I thought of Enoch and Elijah and then realized Enoch simply "was not, for God took him." That doesn't mean he ascended to heaven. However, in the Hebrew in 2 Kings 2:11, the Hebrew word translated in English as "went up" or "taken up" (as in "Elijah went up into heaven") is a form of עלה, which can mean "go up, ascend, climb." So technically, I suppose we could say Elijah also "ascended" to heaven, albeit with the aid of a whirlwind and fiery chariot.

Question 14 is incorrect.

Jesus Ascended into heaven, which means that He did so by his own power.

Enoch, Elijah, and Mary were assumed into heaven, meaning that they were taken up not by their own power.

The language here is more than nuance.

Génesis 5:24 said: “Enoch kept walking with the true God. Then he was no more, for God took him.” God “took him,” that is, cut short his life at the age of 365, an age far below that of most of his contemporaries. Enoch was “transferred so as not to see death,” (Hebrew 11:5, 13) which may mean that God put him in a prophetic trance and then terminated Enoch’s life while he was in the trance so that he did not experience the pangs of death.

2 Kings 2:11 said: “[…] Elijah ascended to the heavens in the windstorm.” Racing through earth’s atmosphere, the fiery chariot evidently transferred Elijah to another part of the earth, where he continued living for a time. Years later, in fact, Elijah wrote a letter to Jehoram, the king of Judah. (2 Chronicles 21:1, 12-15)

This is in accordance with what the Bible itself indicates in John 3:13. Jesus said: “Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven but the one who descended from heaven, the Son of man.”

So the answer to question 14 should be No.

There was a comment I left here, I think years ago, that was funny, relevant, and objectively inoffensive. It had been liked, and responded to positively by others, encouraging positive engagement with the site and comments section as many of my comments do. I saw that it was still here just last night.

Today, it's missing. It would seem odd, except that this seems to be a pattern lately. Noticing this more and more. Starting to feel very unwelcome here and once again like I should just go. If there's someone new in charge of moderating the comments section... they suck more than usual. If that's not it and this is coming from someone who has been around longer, I'd respect them a lot more if they just came out and asked me to leave rather than doing this passive aggressive BS shadow banning crap. I would leave if asked; not like I'm going to make a big stink, or take anyone with me, other than indirectly through the lower rates of engagement with the site.
