You probably know that John the Baptist ate locusts and wild honey while he was preaching out in the wilderness. Protein, fat (grasshoppers have a lot of protein and beneficial fat, it seems) and carbohydrates. Yum--yum. :p

During the horrible Spanish Influenza outbreak of 1917-18, one of the few communities spared was a town in Colorado which early-on put strict quarantine in place--no one was allowed in or out of the town. Not sure how they got supplies but maybe they were subsistence farmers.

You are doing exactly what you accuse conservatives of doing--attacking the source instead of trying to refute the point.

LOL---she was JEWISH! Even though she claimed to be Lebanese, she had a personal rabbi.

Helen Thomas, a veteran reporter and fixture at the White House for many years, covered every President from Kennedy through the first two years of Obama. She retired in 2011 and died in 2013 at age 93. She said that the entire White House press corps knew about a lot of things about Dem...

There is some mention of Bubonic plague coming to L.A. and possibly even San Fran[sicko]. Poor sanitation, overcrowding and rats = plague. There is already a report of a plague outbreak with a terrifying CFR (Case Fatality Rate) in a city in Mongolia. The city, Uglii (I think that's what it...

Or he might think that it is a sign from God that He is preparing to judge those who belong to the world.

Did you see the video footage of the Luxor Hotel/Casino? The hotel is in the shape of a giant pyramid with the "capstone" being a huge bright light which sends an enormous beam of light into the sky. The grasshoppers swarm on it at night giving the illusion that the area of the "all-seeing...

That is incorrect that the Pharisees put that rule into effect. ALL Sabbaths were to be marked by doing no work--that is Torah. Look at Leviticus 23:7 among other references.

You're welcome! :)

The Torah renders the month as "Abib" in the Hebrew. After the Babylonian captivity, it was called Nisan (or Nican). It is the same month.

The primary purpose of the OT prophets was spiritual leadership (and, in some cases, such as the case of Moses, physical leadership too). God caused them to do miracles as a way of authenticating them to the people. He told them to destroy "prophets" whose prophecies did not happen. But there...

Just trying to help other Gentiles wrap their minds around it.

Research it for yourself. Jesus had to die before the High Sabbath would begin the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The pre-selected Passover lambs were killed in an approximately two-hour period between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. or so, on Nisan 14. The descent of darkness on Abib/Nisan 14...

Not that familiar with the NAR but I suspect that many of their teachings are heretical--which makes them false teachers, since they don't seem to correct the false teachings. The whole notion of separate "offices" is somewhat erroneous anyway, since, pastor, elder and overseer are somewhat...

The ROLE is conferred by the gift. The gift does not operate in a church in the way that prophets operated in Old Testament times. ALL spiritual gifts are given to benefit the church and they work in coordination with other gifts among the faithful. They are not given so that one can...

I believe that John was speaking of the prophecy given in Revelation. When did the spiritual gifts cease?

No--the New Testament speaks of prophets and the Apostle Paul lists it as a spiritual gift right behind Apostle. (1 Corinthians 12:28--see also Acts 21:9). It operates a bit differently than it did in OT times. It is to be used quietly and humbly within the churches--Revelation 19:10 tells us...

No, Jesus died on Wednesday afternoon and was placed hastily in the tomb arranged by Joseph of Arimathea before sundown on Wednesday which would begin Passover and the High Sabbath of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Read it again, please. A note on First Fruits. At the time that the women...

Um--you all forget about the special "High Sabbath" that begins the Feast of Unleavened Bread, no matter what day of the week it falls on because it is tied to Passover which can fall on any day of the week. The period of the Feast of Unleavened Bread is one week and the day that begins it is...
