. ● 1Pet 3:15 . . Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. Folks unified with Christ are required to be prepared, but they are not required to always expound. In point of fact; they are commanded to avoid discussing his...

. Well; I don't know about him right now but Jesus' glorified body will be capable of dining upon ordinary foods and beverages when he returns to take the reins. ● Matt 26:29 . . I tell you: I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in...

. Theophanies & Epiphanies The thing is: no human eyes have ever seen the supreme being in person, nor have human ears ever heard the supreme being's actual voice. (John 1:18, John 5:37, 1Tim 6:16) Yet there are numerous persons, visions, sightings, and voices identified as the supreme being...

. 405) Titus 2:6 . . Encourage the young men to be sensible. Paul urged Titus to "encourage" the young men in his church to be sensible; which is quite a bit different than hounding them or getting on their backs. Relentless criticism and ridicule, unreasonable expectations, zero sympathy...

. 404) Titus 2:3c-5 . . The aged women likewise, teaching what is good, that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be dishonored. Far from...

. Inspiration Dictation and Inspiration are not synonyms nor do the two words describe the same processes. This is a common error among Muslims. They affirm that Muhammad received the Koran by means of dictation and they assume Jews and Christians affirm the same for the Bible. Not so. Parts of...

. Prophet Prophets aren't limited to folks called upon by God to foretell the future. For example Abel was a prophet (Luke 11:49-51) and Abraham (Gen 20:7) but I have yet to run across anything of theirs in the Bible that predicts future events. Prophets are basically inspired folks whom God...

. 403) Titus 2:3b . . The aged women likewise, that they be not addicted to much wine A moderate amount of wine isn't discouraged. I think what we're talking about here are the characteristics of a lush, i.e. intemperance. Those folks3 don't control the bottle, rather, the bottle controls them...

. 402) Titus 2:3a . . The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becomes holiness: not traducers, Traducers are particularly ugly human beings; especially the kind that misrepresent their own friends and say things about them that their friends would never approve; thus needlessly...

. The Flesh The flesh is translated from a Greek word that basically pertains to the meaty parts of a creature's body; which of course includes its brain and central nervous system. But that's only half the story. The flesh also pertains to the core of a creature's being, i.e. it's essential...

Thank You. _

. 401) Titus 2:2 . . Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance. I used to get my watches serviced by an aging repairman at a local mall until the day finally came when I could no longer tolerate his manners. He was around seventy-five years...

. The Promised Land ● Gen 15:18-21 . . In the same day The Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates-- the Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, And the Hittites, and the...

. Living Water ● John 4:10 . . Jesus answered her: If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water. Now obviously the water that Jesus offered the woman wasn't natural H2O. Had it been, Jesus would not be...

. 400) 2Tim 4:5c . . do the work of an evangelist The Greek word translated "evangelist" basically means a preacher of the gospel. Here in America, we typically think of evangelists as guys like Billy Graham and Louis Palau. But according to Paul, pastors are supposed to be evangelists within...
