We live in a world where where TV, movies, politicians, and educators are encouraging people into sexual wickedness, and the natural understanding that some things are wrong is labeled as 'phobia'. I hope necrophilia isn't added to their list of things to promote. We have to have fellowship...

Your comment does not do much to establish communication. Are all these thesaurus entries for mediator? If by 'mediator' you have been meaning 'interface'-- that could make sense? Icon? Persona--- have you been talking about the aspect of a person's character or personality that one seeks to...

If he is a man, he isn't good-looking to me. If there is a woman who looks like a man, I don't consider her good-looking. I am talking about good-looking from the perspective of the man doing the perceiving, you in this case. If you see a picture of a young Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, Matt...

Poll is closed. No graffitti on a fine work of art.

American men don't usually go around telling other men they are good-looking, but I have heard some comments like that in Asia. Occasionally, I have heard an American man say another man was good-looking. I didn't take these comments as serious, though. I have almost no ability to tell if...

Your use of 'contingency' instead of contingent seems a bit odd to me. So does calling the mind a 'mediator' instead of using a verb. Usually 'mediator' is person, though in the social sciences it can be a measurable variable. But I might find definitions down at the bottom somewhere if I...

Is 'they' here the apostles? If the apostles did not understand anything Jesus was saying with their mind, then they would not have been confused. If Peter had not understood Jesus' words about being crucified, then he would not have taken him aside to try to correct Him. If the...

Then why don't you interpret the 'But we have the mind of Christ' verse to apply in conversion then? You already have people being saved before they believe in your belief system. That is because I take 'believe' and it's Greek equivalents to mean 'believe' and not something else. The...

Do you believe it happened?

Grailhunter, I was just wondering what your beliefs are about the resurrection of Christ.

Gentile God-fearers also listened to Torah in the synagogue without making the final 'cut' to join Judaism. They may have sat outside a wall and listened outside, something that resembled the temple. If I am not mistaken, the court of the Gentiles was an extra wall outside of the temple...

The Gentiles were supposed to be allowed in the court of the Gentiles. Jesus quoted the scriptures You are right about leaning....for two reasons....one, chairs were not common....two, it was a belief that eating food and letting it drop straight to the stomach was not good, so they generally...

I do not see how I Corinthians 14:34-35 would be a reason for men and women to sit separately. 1800's? Where? Europe? That's a long time later. I don't know if men and women generally ate at the same table. A woman did weep at Jesus' feet though. I hear back then when an honored...

I have a friend who studied Hebrew in Israel used to teach Hebrew at a Bible college. He told me the women on one side of the synagogue and men of the other may not have been practiced in the time period under discussion. The synagogues changed after the temple was destroyed. Based on what I...

Paul writes about women prophesying in I Corinthians 11. the idea that women might have been able to prophesy in the church meeting is not new. St. john Chrysostom seems to allow for that in his commentary on the passage. But he also seems to have had little experience with the actual...

ntries think they 'have arrived' morally when it comes to issues related to marriage, family, freedom, etc. But families are falling apart and soce 'Domination of women' and wives submitting to their husband are not quite the same thing. Many people in western societies think their concepts of...

Still saved if the people had not understood what Peter was preaching? What Bible are you rading. You've got your own ideas. People believe the Gospel by hearing it (usually) preached and it is God who gives the ears to hear. They don't believe the Gospel by not hearing and not...

Even rolling stone said 'It is alleged that a week later Donald retaliated by withdrawing the funds that were meant to pay for the healthcare of his nephew's ill child.' So what does 'that were meant to pay' mean? Was he keeping his nephew's family afloat and cut them off and they said they...

Cultural conditioning? I find your comments to be ethnocentric. Maybe that's not the right word since I mean your-own-culture-centric but that's not a term in common use. I am thinking of Shalom Schwart's values research. There are cultures where obedience is highly valued, as opposed to...

Do you think the Rolling Stone magazine just might have a certain political bias? Trump is probably the most unpopular president with liberals since Nixon, who got to be unpopular with a lot of people. Look at the spin here-- the Trump justice department. Lawyers can make some pretty stupid...
