Q): Is warming up already prepared and cooked food on the Shabbat a wrong thing to do?

A): Lev 23:3 Work is to be done six days, and on the seventh day shall be a Sabbath of rest, a holy gathering; you shall do no work; it is a Sabbath to YAHWEH in all your

The Bible restricts servile work, in which cooking is included. That would include any type of baking and boiling of any food. However, food that is already prepared and cooked does not require any work involved, and can be heated.

Q): How can I balance 1st Cor 15:33 and Proverbs 27:17? Question-related to an article in Remnant’s Walk 2018, summer edition Page 22-23.

A): We do not see any contradiction with these two scriptures. Iron sharpens iron, but iron will destroy If your friends are a bad influence, they will not sharpen you, but dull your spiritual life. There are many proverbs against keeping bad relationships with bad people.

Q): Is it bad if my neighbor gives me their daughter to be married because of my faith, and she is not a believer of Yahshua?

A): Scripture is VERY clear that it is sin and wrong to marry a non-believer:

2nd Cor 6:14 Do not unite in marriage with unbelievers. For what partnership does righteousness have with lawlessness? And what fellowship does light have with darkness†?

2nd Cor 6:15 And what agreement does the Messiah have with Satan? Or what part does a believer have with an unbeliever?

2nd Cor 6:16 And what harmony has the sanctuary of Elohim with idols? For you are the sanctuary of the living Elohim, even as it is said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them, and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.”

2nd Cor 6:17 Because of this, “Come out from among them and be separated, says YAHWEH, and do not touch the unclean thing, and I will receive you.”

2nd Cor 6:18 “And I will be a Father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to Me, says YAHWEH Almighty.”

It will be destructive to both your physical and spiritual life and would not be allowed by the elders.

Q): Please, I have two questions. The first one is located in 1st Corinthians 15:29. Here~ were believers being baptized for the dead ones? The second one is that~ did Yahshua really descend to hell to preach to the departed souls down there as is written in 1st Peter 3:18~20~ 4:6?

A): First, in 1st Cor 15:29, “Otherwise, what will they do, those being baptized for the dead? If the dead are not at all raised, why indeed are they baptized for the dead?”

The Apostle Paul here is not suggesting in any way that believers should be baptized for dead people. The point the Apostle Paul is trying to make is that if Yahshua never rose from the dead, then what would be the point of being baptized in His name, as you would be being baptized for a dead person, if He was never resurrected.

In the second question;

1st Pet 3:18 Because even Messiah once suffered concerning sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to YAHWEH; indeed being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit;

1st Pet 3:19 and he preached to those souls, which were detained in Hades,

1st Pet 3:20 which were formerly disobedient, in the days of Noah, when the long suffering of Elohim commanded an ark to be made, in hope of their repentance; and eight souls only entered into it, and were saved upon the water.

1st Pet 4:6 For to this end also the good news was preached to the dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but might live according to YAHWEH in the Spirit.

The definition for the word for hades is actually “the dirt” not hell, so this scripture is simply stating that those who are buried in the ground and are dead, did indeed hear the witness of truth through people like Noah, and also Enoch. And although their accountability in the great white throne judgment will be less than those who had more of Yahweh’s truth, they will still be judged by the truth that they did know. The word in Scripture that most people think of as a hell burning fire, is called “The Lake of Fire”, or Gehenna fire.

Mat 10:28 And you should not fear the ones killing the body, but not being able to kill the soul. But rather fear Him being able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna

Q): Sarah was the daughter of one of Abraham’s Was Abram in an incestuous marriage?

A): In Genesis 20:12 Abraham states that Sarah was his “achot’, in the original Hebrew. This word can mean sister, but is also a general word for relative. Josephus and other Jewish writings state that Sarah was the cousin of Abraham, and the daughter of Abraham’s father’s brother, who died, and was raised by Abraham’s father Terah, and therefore not his blood sister.

Q): Who are the sons of Elohim as in Gen 6:2 and Job 2:1?

A): The term Sons of Elohim in Hebrew is ‘Bnai Elohim’, and in Scripture can refer to both cherubs as in Job, and also the set apart lineage of Adam, that went through Noah, Abraham, King David, and Yahshua. That is why Yahshua is referred to as a Son of Man, or Son of Adam, and also, Son of Elohim.

Q): Can you explain … And Elohim created man in His own image~ in the image of Elohim created He him; male and female created He them

A): Gen 1:26 states “And Elohim said, let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;”

The animal kingdom was made only with instincts, and doesn’t have a mind to think and ponder about things. The human mind is creative and can reason, it also has feelings, and the ability to love and feel sympathy. It can also appreciate a beautiful flower or a comforting song.

Also, mankind was made with hands, and eyes, and ears, and a mouth, as Scripture states that Yahweh also has. The only thing is mankind was made in Yahweh’s image, but humans must grow into His likeness by rejecting their corrupted human nature, and receiving Yahweh’s set apart, Holy Spirit, and growing in the 9 fruits of that Spirit listed in Galatians the 5th chapter.
