    A Sword - Luke 22:36

    To derive a meaning by reverse engineering English etymology and saying that it is equivalent to Greek, is not a sound method of finding Biblical meaning. The Greek word merely means "bag" that is certainly not the same thing as "purse" which you are correct. What was carried in that bag would...

    A Sword - Luke 22:36

    This does not change that fact that in Luke 18:22, Jesus is speaking to an individual. There is no command that is applied to anyone else. Luke 12:22..."And He said to His disciples..." Luke 12:41... "And Peter said, "Lord, are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?"...

    A Sword - Luke 22:36

    Nice! I can see where you rip my words out of context like you do the words of Scripture!

    A Sword - Luke 22:36

    Let's go completely out of context and throw Scripture against the wall to see what sticks! First of all, it is a command to an individual, not every Christian! Secondly, it does not support selling to gain the Spirit or Salvation. Yes, Jesus spoke at times in parables, which are figurative...

    A Sword - Luke 22:36

    Do you lock the door on your house when you are home? How about when you are away? Do you leave your car unlocked with the keys in it? Why not? Many houses that are locked get broken into, and many cars get stolen, even after being locked and no keys in the ignition. Many people have a fire...

    A Sword - Luke 22:36

    I am more of a spiritual giant that Maximus was! I can allegorize even better! Surely the knapsack was full of Pixie-Dust and Unicorn farts, since that would have been useful to the Apostles! I have just as much scriptural justification to say what was in that knapsack as the next guy with a...

    Would you trust an American vaccine if it came out before the election?

    Apparently most people want their vaccines from China on a slow boat!

    'Global Issues' - any thoughts to express?

    Windmills are also a farce, since they are expensive and high-maintenance. The cost exceeds the expected output they generate. The cost of solar is a similar issue. The cost of setting up a solar farm requires almost as much money as one can expect to get in return. While adding solar to my...

    Worldwide Persecution of Christian widely ignored

    Many disasters are occurring in the World. Many violent protests are happening. Yet, for some reason, two dozen deaths gets air-time, and 500 Christian's slaughtered by Islamists, get very little! Obviously, the World hates Christ and Christians so much, I doubt if they will ever respond to it...

    Does this make you want to eat at either restaurant?

    Unfortunately, they have folded like a cheap suit to the LGBT crowd. Chick-fil-A will no longer donate to anti-LGBTQ organizations - CNN Fact check: Chick-fil-A has not resumed donations to anti-LGBTQ groups The Salvation Army has done so much for those that are down-and-out; Providing food...

    Currently in Quarantine

    I do not disagree that Vitamin D is essential to a good immune system. What I do question are the facts. Getting exposure to the sun enhance vitamin D in the body. Early on in the virus, the areas that had the worst time with it occurred in many warmer regions, Italy, and Florida, Texas, and...

    The question is "why?" Who gains from this? What do they gain? It's not selling hamburgers!

    'Global Issues' - any thoughts to express?

    It is so easy when the world pushes a belief or philosophy as "fact," especially "scientific fact." Those words alone are sufficient to shame anyone that might disagree, or influence the unwitting to comply with what their goals are. Currently, there is a hard push on "Critical Race Theory," or...

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    Precisely why it is the favorite version of the cults; you can justify all kinds of heresy with it.

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    Keep those blinkers on, you might actually see the truth of the Greek and see that this is not so.

    'Global Issues' - any thoughts to express?

    And why do you think that they named Greenland "Green" Land? Because, not as today, it was not 99% ice! They used to make wine from the grapes that grew there. Climate changes without the help of mankind. Climate Change is a farce! What I mean by that is, when it was "Global Warming" it was a...
