The fruit of knowledge is to KNOW. The usage of the work mark, or marking, is the same as to know or be known. When God marks us with the Spirit, we are fully known. Similarly, when we are marked with pride and selfishness, we are known as the thief. God's will is to give and knowledge must...

Troll defines is this: "a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2]extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog), either accidentally[3][4] or with the deliberate intent of...

Scipturally, I don't find anything wrong with the document. There are no points it makes that seem out of character with many verses we read in the Bible. I think it is interesting that much of the DSS documents are geared toward the time the Messiah returns. It's not just this document...

Great information. I really enjoyed reading it. I didn't enjoy the backbiters that are here to destroy threads. I believe there are many here as ravenous wolves, but that's for another thread. Here are my kind and peaceful comments on your thread: All of us find little enigmas when...

Now that I have hooked you with a catchy title, let me keep you here as a fish baited to the hook. What have I used to catch the most fish in this pond? What is the best evidence you have as a Christian? The simple answer is this: This ocean is deep and wide. Start with the first drop...

The still small voice speaks. If you learn to see synchronicity in events, you see the hand of God. Love the pictures. Sounds like a really interesting job.

The Son of God was the first born over all creation. The Son of God is the Cosmos in a sense. We are in and through Him. From a physics perspective, Time, Space, Matter, LIGHT. WORD is the beginning and end of the process. 1 In the beginning [TIME] God created the heavens [SPACE] and the...

Do you have experience with the Barnabas Fund? What is their reputation as stewards of their funds?

The topic of the thread is how we see ourselves by the image God creates. Either we are humble and reflect the fruit of the Spirit, or we are full of pride and treat others with behavior that is devoid of humble deportment. I will continue to point you back to the Father. Matthew 7 7 “Do...

Interesting read. Do you consider this prophesying? I am curious. I have seen this type of commentary other places. Said in a small package, taking the name in vain is taking it apart from the character. Christ had a defined character. Jesus said, "So in everything, do to others what...

I find it valuable to never take scripture out of context. I can only show what God has revealed to me. I hope this helps you see the verse you quoted more clearly. I am always eager to see my own sins and repent if shadows are found. Here is the context of 2 Timothy 3 3 But mark this...

This is how I see things for myself from scripture. The world will hate those who follow truth. Galatians 5 speaks of the fruit of the Spirit and how to know if the Spirit of God is present in the heart. It is very clear. Jude 1 then speaks of this same idea as an opposite comparison...

You must be born of Spirit. Water comes first and this is baptism. You must be born again. Resurrection is the same as what Paul refers to in Acts 24: 15 and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. 16...

There is a wealth of information in the Dead Sea Scrolls. It is impossible to understand the ordinances and symbolism in the Bible apart from a Hebraic perspective. When Paul used the term, "Rightly dividing scripture," he was referring to the "Seven Rules of Hillel." Anything that is locked...

Go one more level. Luke 3 37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Kenan, 38 the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God. Who made Adam? In Genesis 1, Elohim made mankind with no restrictions to the fruit. In...

It is true that our culture wants to run away from the simple truths of antiquity. You hit the nail on the head. We teach cognitive skills, but completely ignore non-cognitive skills necessary for the flower of the mind to open. Most importantly, scripture has the power to engage the mind...

Discussion on topics such as these requires questions. Further perspective form other users is always nice. Take one part and do either.

I referred to this: A literal translation of Isaiah 17:1-3 in the LXX is: Your link is NIV and your reference says it is from a literal translation. Google brings up the Apostolic Bible Polyglot English translation. Seemed confusing so I asked if you did this by intent. What do you like about...

Neither are any of the books of commentary from theologians, yet we have their works on our shelves. None of them were named Apostles in the Bible. Barnabas is. It depends on what you are looking for by perspective. No better source can be found than our scriptures, but for a sense of the...

Sure. Anything that God accomplishes by law will reflect the laws we observe in nature. Correspondingly, there is a pattern in creation that has been noted by wise men from all ages. The Hermetic axiom states it this way: As above, so below. In other words, God's image is twofold. We are...
