Except for the reference in Matthew 3:11, the term "threshingfloor" is found only in the Old Testament. Its use there indicates there is a particular significance in a "threshingfloor". 2 Samuel 24 tells of King David buying a threshingfloor, to build an altar on it. Why a "threshingfloor" and not a field or some other structure? I believe God has a purpose in every word in His Bible. What's the significance in this usage?
I wanted to ask you a question about the testaments. Is the
Old testament in particular the sacrifice of the animals, and the new testament is the shed blood of Jesus for forgiveness? Am I correct?

I am searching for lessons on the synoptic gospels. I hope to answer the following questions:
1. Why are three so similar and John is not?
2. What specific stories are told in Matthew, Luke and Mark and how are they similar and how are they different?
3. Why are Matthew, Mark and Luke referred to as the synoptic gospels?
Can you provide some resources to answer my questions?

I would like to ask your explanation regarding the "spirit" of man. After a man dies, the flesh goes to the ground, the soul goes to Heaven if the man has accepted Christ as Lord and personal Saviour, or to Hell if he has not, and the spirit, where does it go? In Ecclesiastes, it was mentioned there that the spirit goes to God who created it. Also the "spirit" of man is the one that gives the believer the knowledge of God through the Holy Spirit as Given in 1 Corinthians chapter 2. My first question is this, does the "spirit" of an unbelieving man have knowledge of God. Is it alive (the spirit) while man has not accepted Christ?
Are tongues for today? Are they unknown or known tongues and what is the meaning of angelic tongues? Can you explain 1 Corinthians 14 to me; this is the chapter that my relatives say proves that speaking in tongues is for today.
