Well it's your call whether you believe it is permissible for Paul to write about himself in the third person to avoid the perception he is boasting. What do you make of John writing these verses?: Joh 13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. Joh...

Yes, this is a much loved trio of chapters for me, 10, 11, 12 of 2 Corinthians. Paul turns the argument that he is "walking in the flesh" on its head by showing what folly it would be to boast of the great things that attend his ministry, and in doing so provides a summary of those things...

Damn The Inquisition.

How can you prove this?

Plagues don't have any political allegiances.

Is this a prophetic fulfillment? Fig tree prophecy Well you did have to ask. You're a nice guy, David, a brother in Christ and I discern that you hope to find agreement with your assertion, but for me the text says it's a Parable. Like other Parables that use everday objects and activities, the...

Weird logic.

This is excellent, @Mayflower Back in 1989 whilst at Ministry Training College our class of 16 developed a protocol for assessing the visions, dreams, impressions, and "prophetic words" amongst us. A little humour helps, and sometimes it was obvious the person receiving the message was the one...

. . . No particular literal fig tree is a marker . . . the meaning is that just as signs of things to come in the natural realm are observable, so signs of things to come in the super-natural realm are also observable. . .
