    The Door Is Small But Always Open

    I hope that fat Albert can get through your reference door. Stated with apologies to Bill.

    Marrying a devout Christian girl from France

    Well, perhaps that is the point where you should start your life lesson. How to discern between good and bad advice. If you can learn/accomplish this, then all other issues will take care of themselves. Shalom

    Marrying a devout Christian girl from France

    Good advice has no country of preferred origin. Good advice is simply good advice. It is your choice as to whether or not you will heed good advice, whether it comes from a Frenchman or an Italian, a Greek, a pom, or a yank. It is still your choice how you respond to the provided good advice...

    What is the promised land to Abraham?

    Yes we are both free to chose how we want to understand the source texts in question. On checking, the reference that you provided. came from the Bible Hub web site. However, you chose to only give the meaning provided at the very beginning for the Greek Root word G:2537. Here is more of that...

    What is the promised land to Abraham?

    What I suggested that you provide was this: - To which you replied with this: - My friend, if I am allowed to call you that, I did not ask for your arrogant justification for what you said in your previous post addressed to me in your response. What I requested of you, was for you to...

    Biggest mistake of the church and we need to go back

    Ronald, why attach the person rather than provide a convincing argument as to what Paul had actually written in the Greek Text and provide the context of the actual words themselves. Is it because that is the only defence you know of and can use to defend your post above. As for lumping me...

    Biggest mistake of the church and we need to go back

    It seems to me that people do not look at the Greek text and the meaning of the Greek words used. Let us consider an interlinear to see if we can determine the context of the passage highlighted in the screen sniped image below: - Now considering the meaning of the highlighted Strong Numbers...

    Introduction to James - James 1:1-5

    Faith/belief without confirmation through actions and demonstrations exposes a person lack of faith/belief. Faith and belief must be put into action such that others see what it is that you have faith/believe in and why you have that faith/belief. Shalom PS: - Our salvation is based on what...

    William Miller's Millennium Kingdom (Revised and Corrected) (subject delay)

    It seems that you have not understood what I have posted above. It also seems to me that you have not understood the Greek words used to covey the context of matt 24:35. The identical Greek word, is only found in James 1:10, but the context of what is being said is found in the surrounding...

    What is the promised land to Abraham?

    Daniel, if you are truly a man who fears God, then why did you set out to curse me with your words. The English translations that we have are man's paraphrasing of the original scriptures. Many of the understandings of man have now been written into the translations that we use and call "our...

    What is the promised land to Abraham?

    The English translation gives the wrong message and context. I believe that @Curtis has painted the intended picture that our understanding should have. So his question to you in a later post is valid: - I would paraphrase Revelation 21:1 in this manner: - Revelation 21:1: - 21 Now I...

    William Miller's Millennium Kingdom (Revised and Corrected) (subject delay)

    ???? What are you trying to say about which verse 35? Not enough information to be able to catch a glimpse of what you are trying to convey in your post.

    What is the promised land to Abraham?

    Hello Since Abraham was never promised any ownership or possession of land in Canaan, the answer to this question is obviously "NONE." However, God did promise Abraham the whole earth that God had created before it was corrupted, and would be restored that He, God, would show Abraham before he...

    After the Rapture: The End of the World

    Hello Perhaps a more literal meaning might be paraphrased in this manner: - Revelation 14:11: - 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever/for three ages; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name. i.e...

    William Miller's Millennium Kingdom (Revised and Corrected) (subject delay)

    So much focus on when the second appearance of Christ will be that the understanding flew out the window with the garbage still left behind for others to try and re-use and create another false prediction with. If the sign posts are wrongly chosen, then the end point will not appear as...

    Marrying a devout Christian girl from France

    So be it. However, was not Christ a humble servant to those whom He came to save? Did He no also say,, "Go and do likewise." Luke 10:25-37: - The Parable of the Good Samaritan...

    I trust that you can follow a literal and simple direction like this one (even with the spelling mistake/thick fingers accepted?

    Riddle Thread

    TMI Like many people on this forum, I was taking the "riddle" literally, and trying to develop an understanding that was logically correct. Many do this with scripture without considering the context of what is written and the scope of the understanding outside of their cookie cutter.

    Marrying a devout Christian girl from France

    It seems that you have a good handle on what needs to be done. It seems that you have to work on your relationships with other people, of both genders. Protective parents do not necessarily help their children to develop well rounded relationship skills. They are probably trying to protect...
