It's a retaining wall....not a temple wall. The new Yemple complex Herod had built wouldn't fit on the existing "mountain"/hill. So he built it up with a retaining wall and fill dirt/rock. The Jews and Muslims have since created a huge underground complex and tunnels everywhere. And since...

Not really to me.... First off the river doesn't flow very fast at all. A very very slow moving current most of the year. And unless it's at flood stage its just above your ankles. The East Bank is really steep and the west is much more gradual in this location. The stones.... In this...

And exactly how does one have and bearing on the other? These are not mutually exclusive of each other. So excuse me if I am confused with your declaration.

Why is that? Do you not believe in the Great Commission?

If Jesus had written a gospel Personally....it would be holy.... Currently, Archeologists are pouring over every stone in Sepphoris to look for any stone that Jesus might have signed as proof of work to his foreman so he could get his pay. They are looking for it because "God carved this...

Might be time to read it again with more experienced eyes.

Christians actually value relationships over and above everything else. And losing a person from their circle is loss....we greive loss. Jesus did with Lazarus whom he considered a friend. So Jesus raised him from the dead.

"God's Ugly, Misbehaved Stepchild". (The one easier to beat than the rest of them)

https://www.amazon.com/Knowledge-Holy-W-Tozer/dp/1626309906 A.W. Tozer published "Knowledge of the Holy" in 1961. It's a very short book of 160 pages. But it goes into detail of all of God's attributes. What Sovereign, Omnipotence, immutable and etc all really mean. I believe that there...

"He came unto his own but his own received him not"

Then a word about Westcott and Hort..... Westcott was a scholar of extra-Biblical texts of Judaism....such as Sifre, Midrash, and Talmud....not scriptures themselves. Hort was the financier of Westcott ....he believed in mostly money and navigating the politics of the Church to keep his guy...

From the source YOU gave: The Alexandrian text is about 5% smaller than the Byzantine text, and there are some differences in words between the two texts. No Christian doctrine is omitted from the Alexandrian text, but some appear strengthened in the Byzantine text

Actually....it's not loose at all. It's preserved just fine. Nothing substantive is missing, changed, or erased. Just saying. A few minor, single verse based theologies are destroyed that conflict with the rest of scriptures...but that's about it. However....that still hasn't actually...

The 1611 translation was a minor blip. Not hardly anyone read it. Because they ALL had Geneva Bibles. The Geneva Bible was the first "common man's" Bible. And scriptures still weren't read or used during church services....the Psalter and Book of Prayers were. They first and second wave of...

The passages concerning Pharoah and Moses and how Pharaoh's heart was hardened. First Pharaoh hardened his own heart several times...but then, eventually, God hardened it permanently.

Yeah....I'm not one of those. After careful reading and studying the scriptures and looking carefully at what was said, why it was said in the way it was said. The cannon of scriptures is a miracle. There is no other collection of history, letters, wisdom, and prophesy that is anywhere near...

Right, Paul's lost letters aren't really lost or are they scripture....they are very much Paul's writing....just not scripture. When people read them they get the same feeling I get about them...."Yep, that's Paul! But the letters aren't scriptures" They do reference the same things as his...

Look, I know you think a lot of the Republican party.... BUT Truth be known....I'm what they call A-Political....meaning I don't pick a side because I believe neither party represents me. I don't hold my nose and pick one either. And I hate politics to begin with due to the huge volume of...

Better off than I deserve. :joyful:
