Case in point . . .

My observation after doing some time with this denomination is that their procedures, protocols, and programs are geared to authoritarian oversight for the sake of organisational dominance. They are not unique in this, but along with the vehement ceasationism by some it was an obstacle and...

Context first. Then application. 1Pe_2:5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1Pe_2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special...

Simply for not being predetermined for salvation according to Calvinist diatribe.

Yeah, I was just messing around with my post about the Nazarenes . . . although Act 24:5 For we have found this man a plague, a creator of dissension among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

Nazarene. Mat 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, "He shall be called a Nazarene."

A little over thirty years ago I was given medical advice to drink more water. I was told that the nature of my outdoor work was such that if I didn't rehydrate regularly I would continue to suffer the painful health problems that had led to my seeking medical attention. I am now fastidious...

As the Lion of Judah and the Lamb that was slain . . . and much, much, more.

Believe the bile? That threw me . . . until I realised it was a typo. Bible, phew!

And then there is the Book of Revelation . . . disclosing further horrors to come at God's command.

I appreciate Paul's epistles more every time I read them, which is every day.

The entire Bible is the Word of God. If not it's just another book.

Of course. Still does in my sector. God's equipping of whomever with supernatural powers and the mandate to use them is a lesson in itself. Elijah had good reason to prove the superiority of God given the scenario. Believer's Bible Commentary 2 Kings 1:2 King Ahaziah fell through the...

As with the other numerical representations in the disclosure Jesus gave John to write down, there is symbolism that speaks to the meaningful purpose of the 144,000 undefiled followers of the Lamb. (10 x 10 x 10)(12 x 12) Ten cubed x Twelve squared = 144,000 Combined Strength of Quantum...

There is a reason the Bible is called The Word of God. 2Co 2:17 For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ. 2Co 4:1-6 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose...

We painted our house orange and got criticised. The paint we used was actually called "Orange Critic". I never get tired of telling critics what the paint is called. Shuts them up promptly.

There is a lot of intolerance and judgmentalism about people who are judgmental and intolerant. Next there will be complaints about people complaining. :rolleyes:

There are some minor transcriptional errors that have no bearing on historicity, authenticity and inspiration. The KJV has Ahaziah (aka Jehoahaz) the son of Jehoram as 42 when he began to reign immediately after his 40 year old father died. Other versions correct this error to Ahaziah being 22...
