    Is “Easter” in the original Scriptures?

    Ok...if that truly was the case then why do we use the name "Peter" which is the Latin word for Rock or at least Kephas which is the Aramaic/Hebrew word for rock which is someone's name. Do you know what the word "Noel" actually means? We sing it every Christmas. Then there's the whole...

    Is “Easter” in the original Scriptures?

    Easter is Latin for Passover week. And the Latin Word was used in the 1611 KJV but not in the Cambridge/Oxford KJV that was done at a much later date.

    Does God want us to enjoy our lives?

    Ecclesiastes 11:8-10 ⁸However many years anyone may live, let them enjoy them all. But let them remember the days of darkness, for there will be many. Everything to come is meaningless. ⁹You who are young, be happy while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days...

    How would a nuclear war between Russia and the US affect you?

    The poor get more than enough around me....so do the poor and missionaries in other countries and domestically. Being a giver is not the amount of money you have...it's an attitude. You either have it or not. I like giving and holidays allow me license to do more. Too much money for the...

    How would a nuclear war between Russia and the US affect you?

    And it may be that way in your house.... But as for me and my house we celebrate Christmas (Christ's Birth) by giving away presents and gifts and having parties and lots of goodies. To each their own.

    How would a nuclear war between Russia and the US affect you?

    It would put a real damper on Christmas this year.

    Are there still apostles today?

    Many are "called" to be followers of Christ, few are "chosen" to be leaders. Leaders lead because others follow....not because they were given a title by someone who wishes to make them a tool of some sort. (VINEYARD church made a lot of "tools" but most of them dissolved into nothingness...

    Test of a Prophet moved by the Holy Spirit

    No difference between a New Testament Prophet from an Old Testament Prophet.... They are 100% accurate or not of God. Harsh....but that's the test. Forth telling (telling the truth whether obvious or not...Just because you may disagree with a pastor's theology doesn't mean that he is not...

    Why God forsake Jesus?

    Look carefully at Psalms 22:24.... I really am very VERY frightened to go beyond what is written. For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help.

    Happy Good Friday

    Hope the day was full of prayer and vesper and preparation for Easter to come.

    Hyper-grace: then and now

    Hyper grace is just repackaged gnosticism. Nothing more. In the Old Testament Baal and Ashera were the gods always mentioned but the truth is that they had various names over the centuries. However, scriptures/God decided to give them one name as a bit or irony and insult. I see no...

    Red Heifers revisited...

    Because with the destruction of the Temple in 70AD many of the records were also destroyed. And finding even a small group of any one tribe would be a miracle at this point. Sure, we can find a few families and the descendants of that Family but the original DNA of any one tribe is lost and...

    Why God forsake Jesus?

    Jesus was singing a song they knew well...trying to tell people not to give up hope. Psalms 22 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? 2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no...

    Red Heifers revisited...

    Lol Entering the HoH without being of the proper lineage is a death sentence. The Temple and Tabernacle were shadows of the real throne room in Heaven....not copies but shadows.... But even shadows are enough to be empowered and dangerous to play with.

    Red Heifers revisited...

    No...they offered these things to Palestinians. And the Israelis have another issue....one they can't really solve. They have no idea who among them is from which tribe. Meaning that there can't be a high priest and they cannot construct the Temple without Levites.

    Red Heifers revisited...

    Where the red heifers are a piece of the puzzle....it's not everything. Hamas and other Islamic radicals constantly claim they want to exterminate every Jew and have tried to inflict terrorism repeatedly over the years. Israel is a police state. Most adults are either current or former...

    Was Jonah angry at God?

    Nineveh was the capitol city of Aramea. He absolutely hated them for their brutality and barbarity...especially when they were brutal and barbaric against his fellow Israelites. He wanted God to destroy them for their wicked ways. He wanted to proverbially toast marshmallows over their...
