Hi afaithfulone, The bible is for (to get the benefit of it) all Christians. But to understand the bible we must determine to (toward a point, person, place of thing} whom the writer or speaker is addesssing. In the Epistles, there were specific things going on that pertained to those to whom...

Hi John, When I said its about what Jesus says, I was trying to point out to whom he was speaking. That is why I highlighted in blue those present. Where you say you were lost in Mat 5 is for that reason. When I highlighted in blue the multitudes, we would know everyone of them that were there...

Hi Inmate, Just to add to what has already been said. 1. Holy Spirit will be here forever. Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Eph 3:21 Unto him be glory in the church by...

The Gosples of Jesus Christ is a little different than the Epistles in that it is all about Jesus and what he has to say.

Let us go to the Old Testament and pick up as Moses is sent by God to bring his people out of Egypt. For years the Jews were inslaved and forced to do hard labor. Moses comes under the authority of God and partitions for the release of the Jewish people. After many plagues, they were allowed to...

Hi Vet, I'm getting close to that age, but awhile back I was deceived, not now. I had to ask myself these questions. 1, Was any of the Old Testament written to the Gentiles? 2. Did Jesus come to the Gentiles as their Messiah? 3. Are any of the epistles addressed to a church/Christian today...

Hi John, Great post and comments. What percentage are actually chosen by Jesus, I don't know, but probably pretty low. Like you, I have attended several churches and the most likely ones seem to be the Non-denominational pastors. Most of those in denominational churches it is all about...

Nero was a beast and it is well documented. He murdered his parents, wife, brother, aunt, and many others close to him. He was a torturer, a homosexual rapist and a sodomite. He even devised a kind of game where he covered himself in a wild animal skin, bound out of a cage and attacked men and...
