There are examples of earthly Kings who reign without actually living in all of their dominion. The Persin King sent statues of himself all over his empire to be placed in all of the temples to be worshipped. Christ promised that He would live within His people and communion with them from...

The main focus of the Israelites was God's "Promised Land" and as such their understanding is around their "land" whereas in verse Isaiah 13:9 God focus was on the salvation of all of the people of the whole "earth" whether on land or on the seas. As such verse 9 should read: - "Behold, the...

I did a search for "fire" in the NKJV of Isaiah and found 34 verses where the word "fire" can be found. I also did a search for "torch" but only found this word in Isaiah 51:11 NIV. In the NKJV in this same verse the text contained the word "fire. Here is the list of verses" - Isa 1:7 Isa...

Fluffy, If God is drawing you to Himself, then I have no need to tell you to be in communion with the Lord about everything, placing before Him all of your concerns and your desires to run away from a developing problem in your life, to seek His advice and direction as to what you should be...

As has been prayed for you, you too can pray the same prayer for this woman, that God would draw her into His loving embrace so that she would know His love just for her and his purposes for her to bring blessing to all of the people she may interact with on a daily basis so that she become a...

I could make the same uniformed statement about you too. It just is not kosher and unbecoming.

Your understanding of this parable and the Parable of the Minas does not match the narrative found in both parables. In the Parable of the Minas the man who goes away when he returns, wants to kill all of his servants who no longer wanted him to be master over them. In Rev 12 we are told that...

I do not like being milked like a cash cow to satisfy your whims. If I was to cross every "T" and dot every "I" then I would never be able to do the things I need to do with respect to my relationship with God or be able to write a response that would fit within the character limit of this...

If you know your bible and are honest with the other members, you will know the answer to that question as well.

Seems like you enjoy showing off your ego as well.

Perhaps you have not understood what I posted. When Jesus made this statement, " Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.", He was qualifying who among those who call Jesus "Lord," will inherit the earth. We should be "meek" in our walk with Jesus while we draw breath, because...

^^^^ Yes

I agree whole heartedly with your quoted statement. It was because of the jailer's turmoil that he accepted turning to Christ. If a prisoner escaped from a jail, the jailer and the guards would be killed for not stopping the prisoner's escape. You are right it is described in Matthew...

You are entitled to your opinion, but I have never seen an earthquake in water, but I have seen a tempest cause turmoil in the waves created by the winds and the reflections of the wave that produce standing waves that will sink a boat as it passes a floundering boat between the chop in the...

For those who do not understand Acronyms, here is a reasonable explanation: - JOMO stands for "joy of missing out," the opposite of FOMO (fear of missing out). It's about finding satisfaction in the present moment and enjoying your own choices without feeling pressured to keep up with what...

No, the context in Matthew 5:5 is very different. Perhaps Genesis 15:7: - 7 Then He said to him, "I am the Lord, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land/earth to inherit it.", is more closely connected with Matthew 5:5 In Matthew 5:5 Jesus is qualifying who among...

God is looking for people in the days to come who are inhabiting His fertile field. Where they have sent roots down into His fertile soil to draw nourishment directly from God so that they may live in the knowledge of the Lord their God. My paraphrasing of Genesis 12:3 reads this way: -...

Thanks for confirming that even great scholars who have influenced our understanding of both Hebrew and Greek words have got it wrong as well. Try G:4579.

The secret is to catch us acting disgracefully before we hit the "Post reply" so that it does not get posted at all. The next best thing is to be able to edit your post when you realise that you have posted a disgraceful response before any other members can reply or quote your disgraceful...

No, the disgrace is in how we react to their barbs and words. Sadly, sometimes, I even catch myself acting disgracefully in my responses.
