    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    Have you ever taken a recording of people speaking in tongues and put it through Google translate? If it was a viable language....it would translate. But the "tongues" I've heard spoken are extremely regional and none are similar to other regions where the practice is claimed. Not to...

    Have you watched ANY news lately? Gazprom is out. The Russian government is no longer buying Rubles. (Out of resources to buy them)The value has dropped to below 112/dollar. The war economy increased the Russian GDP temporarily but the resulting bankruptcies (trillions of dollars worth) are...

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    Being chemical dependent has far reaching effects.... I have witnessed this first hand through a relative who has used Marijuana all of his adult life. And the result is that he can no longer cognitively process any emotions properly anymore. Not joy, not grief, nor anger. He is an...

    GJohn 1.18

    To what end? Trying to disprove the Trinity? God the Father God the Son God the Holy Spirit 3 in one. Not modalism Not pantheism Trinity....that's it. If you want it to be something else you are in the wrong place.

    GJohn 1.18

    The mosaic was from a 1st century Church in Israel. Apparently you are wrong. They very much did believe that Jesus is God.

    GJohn 1.18

    Early Church did believe that Jesus was indeed God (new discovery of a mosaic floor of a church unearthed in Israel where they were going to put a new prison wing) which says just that. So...aside from that. What John is referring to is one of many "word pictures" that were the stock and...

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN WIVES ARE TO BE OBEDIENT TO THEIR HUSBANDS?

    You need to go back and read the scriptures. This is in Hebrew because it's Old Testament. And it was before he built his house/palace. The timeline is not that difficult to understand. The preceeding scriptures makes it clear.

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN WIVES ARE TO BE OBEDIENT TO THEIR HUSBANDS?

    Actually, yes men and women are equals in marriage. Jesus deliberately pointed this out THREE TIMES. Woman with an issue of blood Woman at the Well Mary and Martha.

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN WIVES ARE TO BE OBEDIENT TO THEIR HUSBANDS?

    Someone needs to actually visit Jerusalem to know what they are talking about. Also.... The prelude to this is a Qual (type of Hebrew clause) that directly explains why David was in the wrong place at the wrong time....IE: he should have been elsewhere.

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN WIVES ARE TO BE OBEDIENT TO THEIR HUSBANDS?

    Enough that you started this thread asking the questions you asked. Try a modern translation and do it again.

    Thanksgiving

    Just as a bit of humor to interject.... I got somewhere between 30-40 family members and friends showing up Thursday. Should be the normal chaos and fun all at the same time.

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN WIVES ARE TO BE OBEDIENT TO THEIR HUSBANDS?

    Your issue is the use of KJV without actually understanding 17th century English.

    Tips on how to memorize bible verses?

    Write offs.... Just like punishments when you were a child. Joshua 1:8 Do not let this book of the Law depart from your mouth, meditate upon it day and night so that you might be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. I did write offs of the...

    Concerned about cancer...

    In this neighborhood.... There was no water, sewer, or electricity available when this house was built. We know where the well was once upon a time. Also the septic. Power came after TVA. But this area doesn't have TVA. When water and power became available after WW2 and there was a...
