    The Bible - How do you view it ?

    What the Dead Sea Scrolls show us, is that the source texts from which our various translations where generated from are very consistent with the texts that have been found hidden in the caves and labelled as the Dead Sea Scrolls. However, to state that the current translations that we have are...

    The Bible - How do you view it ?

    Some would say on their Lap, others might tell you that they view their bible on their computer screen, while others do not view their bible but rather display it for others to view and observe. Shalom

    Dividing Between Soul and Spirit

    Hello, I prefer this understanding of what Jesus said of a commandment that was in force right from the start of time, when Adam was created: - John 13:34-35: - 34 A new/refurbishment of the commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one...

    How To Pray For Climate Change

    I thought that repentance was the key to having the rains in their season, and I suppose that is a requirement when having a conversation with the Lord, i.e. Lev. 26, Deut. 28, 2 Chron. 7:14-22, to having the rain in its seasons. Shalom

    lost a friend

    Understanding our pain and how we are responding to that pain can sometimes make it very difficult for us to move on when someone close to us dies. Yes we can be fearful of where that person was when they died, however, it is God's prerogative to judge that person's position with respect to...

    So whose faithful servant are you in your delusional understandings?

    Jesus Was Not Milque Toast.

    @Josh27 The question I ask most of other people is, "How is your relationship with the God that you are presently worshipping at this very moment?" The conversation can progress from there if I am prepared to learn from their answer and body language if I am honest with my assessment of where...

    Australia's police brutality continues in the name of covid

    But the truth of the matter is that they do not love liberty, only anarchism. It does but we have to understand the implications of what the "Spirit of freedom" means. The problem is that many who have their definition of what freedom is, are only preaching anarchism, without any reference to...

    When did Daniel 7:13-14 happen?

    I am no different to your assumptions that your timeline is correct. We both use the scriptures and historical facts that support a particular point of view. Your time interpretations are correct when viewed through your particular glasses and their distortion. The problem is, "Have we both...

    We need a lot more of this

    It is interesting that you are nailing your thesis to the door, so to speak. To many people only want the KISS message as digging deeper hurts their minds. Shalom

    Infant baptism biblical?

    I would understand your reason for not continuing a conversation with a person who is intransient in their understand of what is expressed within the scriptures. There is a time where it is best to withdraw from the conversation. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot force the horse to...

    When did Daniel 7:13-14 happen?

    In Daniel 2 we are given the following information: - Daniel 2:34-35; 44-45: - 34 You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed...

    When the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth

    Satan realises that his time on the earth is short after he is released from the Bottomless pit after his 1,000 years of imprisonment. Isaiah 24:21-22 tells us that after Satan is imprisoned, that it will be many days before he is punished. Shalom

    Poll: Tattoo art - Christian perspectives: Fight it? Ignore it? appreciate/embrace it?

    A little ink, whether etched upon our skin or upon a piece of paper, can lead a discussion, with another person, into the realms of what it means to have a righteous relationship with the one true God, but often the story behind the ink and what it means get perverted because of what the inked...

    The Death Burial Ressurection And Ascension By Christ In A Saint

    Your question is difficult to understand for me. In your first question, "What do I have on Christ in the Believer?" What are you really asking? What do you understand by my statement about "being in a right relationship with God?" Is not "being in a right relationship with God," a continual...

    No Smart Phone!

    Actually it is a reference to Matthew 5:13, Mark 9:50, Luke 14:34-35 where the the consequences of losing ones favour is catastrophically rejected and not even fit for the dung heap.

    No Smart Phone!

    If you believe that my global comments were directly aimed at you, then that is your problem and not mine. So please do not accuse me of accusing you of any "sins" as I do not have any power over your thinking. That is all up to you. My understanding of USA citizens is that they tend to look...

    No Smart Phone!

    A thought keeps coming to mind about what Christ requires of us. He does not want us to hid our "light" under the bed so that no one else can see it. And if we are the salt for the earth to season it, we cannot be hidden in a salt bag and not doing the job of seasoning the whole earth...

    The Death Burial Ressurection And Ascension By Christ In A Saint

    How we understand what is happening around us is a reflection of how and why we believe and is a consequence of the spiritual domain that we live in. How we understand the the End Times is a reflection of our spiritual standing in the Lord and our belief that we are in a right relationship with...

    No Smart Phone!

    You are being too touchy on this subject matter to think that I am trying to denigrate you for the choices that you are attempting to make with respect to your phone and its usage. Previously I chose to not have data networking capabilities with my previous phones, however, the phone's...
