    I would think so, and perhapa even more importantly 'interpreting'. What good is it if one has some wisdom, some knowlwdge, but no way of communicating it with another? You asked me again why I'm here, but this you know already.. But perhaps also to learn a new language. I find it encouraging...

    Thanks for the links, they were interesting... As for your objection, well I understand what you are saying but I'm not sure why you would make such a connection. If men today set up an idol and said 'this is our God Peace' would we then not be able to have a conversation using the word peace...

    Christians were not targeted for their belief in the resurrection by imperial Rome.

    Hello shnarkle, While I'm not sure which apologists you were referring to, it is indeed faith in the ressurection that empowered many martyrs to endure the peresecutions. The reason behind the persecutors calling for and putting them to death were surely many: pride, greed, envy, fear... But...

    Are Christians to forgive everyone or only those who repent?

    Our Lord has forgiven us everything, How then can we demand an accounting of others? His master summoned him and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to. Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I had pity on you?' Peace!

    Peace, pax, shalom... Different languages but the same concept.. I don't understand your personal objection to Latin, but i now refrain from using it with you, knowing it upsets you. But my intention is sincere. That is not a term I'm familiar with but if I were to hazard a guess, i would...

    Hmm, thought you had said you were baptized... Guess i was mistaken.. None of us 'deserve' life, if by that you mean we have some sort of 'right' to it. But now, as it has ever been, we are given the choice, to live or die.. Jesus is the way of life, and that life is offered freely to all. All...

    If we are crucified with Christ, we are no longer, rather we are free to LIVE in Him! Peace!

    He died for US! Not for our sins. We are not our sins... And I have died. With Him! Have you? Thank you, you too beloved.

    Of course His Father did not forsake Him. (Pondering the depth of the suffering of our eternal Father will quickly cure one of that idea) Rather, He died for us! He himself bore our sins in his body upon the cross, so that, free from sin, we might live for righteousness. By his wounds you...

    Stumbling Block verses

    God did not hand over Jesus to Pilate. Who did? "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet, not as I will, but as you will." Let every person be subordinate to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been established by...

    Can you tell me the Whole bibel in short

    I call heaven and earth today to witness against you: I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live,

    Jesus answered (him), "You would have no power over me if it had not been given to you from above. For this reason the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin." No. I deny that Jesus offered that death to the enemy rather than to the Father. how much more will the blood of Christ...

    Of course! This is what I am saying. Those who are righteous and witnesses to righteousness and suffer for that please God. Their endurance merits HiS grace when they offer their suffering on behalf of others. Jesus righteousness and endurance was perfect, and His suffering was offered on...

    Stumbling Block verses

    That God offered Jesus death to the enemy is as repulsive (if not more so) as suggesting our Father was wrathful to the Son. We were all dead, in prison, and Jesus came and broke the chains and prison doors and said 'come follow me' Evil men unjustly persecuted and killed Him, but it is Jesus...

    Blaming God? Hardly! I blame us and our disobedience that would have kept me ever lost from God, But praise the Lord! Who humbled Himself and became one of us, and did that which we could not do, be perfectfly obedient to the Father's will. Peace!

    Stumbling Block verses

    The devil cannot destroy righetousness. Righteousness rather destroys the devil. I dont know what you mean by 'penal substitution'... Jesus' sacrifice was an act of love to free us from death. This is how much I love you God says.. Can we do aught but love Him in return? Are we willing to...

    Stumbling Block verses

    This is absurd. Jesus did not offer the devil a propitiary sacrifice. What a horrible thought. Neither could 'the god of this world' demand anything of Jesus. Jesus death on the cross destroyed his power, it did not appease it. Jesus freely laid down His life for love of us. His perfect...
