    Having sex with your own daughters was not on the list of things that are displeasing to god yet. Therefore, he did not sin.

    I wonder if there was a specific law about diving a jet into the twin towers? I do hope you are joking? Gumby

    L. T.,

    One Bible commentary I have says the 24 elders are a representative of either the whole company of believers in heaven or an exalted angelic order worshipping and serving God there. "24 is often understood to reflect the 12 Israelite tribes of the OT and the 12 apostles of the NT."

    Didn't Judas get replaced by that dude who waited on widows and got stoned to death? ...here it is, Stephen, Acts 7. But waitta minute, he was one of seven men appointed. And there were twelve disciples already mentioned in the middle of Acts. Oh, right, Matthias won spot twelve by lottery. Acts 1:26.

    What I really wanna know, who are the seven stars in Revelation 3:1? The Watchtower says it is the seven characteristics of the WTBTS (pathetic answer).

    So your saying a muslim can be one of the 24? Or would New Israel be only Jews? Or is New Israel "spiritual Israel" as the dubs believe and some christian?. So many to choose from and so little time
