But I only asked if we have to repent of just one particular specific sin, not a splattering of many different types of sin as you have responded.

"Alibi": - a claim or piece of evidence that one was elsewhere when an act, typically a criminal one, is alleged to have taken place. I was suggesting that Esau had twisted the story of Jacob taking/stealing his birth right when he was around 16-18 years of age to suit his purposes of...

Perhaps you may like to explain a probable cause for Esau to rush into Jacob's tent looking for an alibi and demand some food. What had Esau done that he was prepared to sell his birth right to Jacob at that time. Why did Esau retell the story to his father in a manner that twisted the actual...

I put the book of Genesis into chronological order around ten years ago, but the friends I gave it to found it very difficult to read as it was a verse here and a verse there and had lost its story telling structure. One of the benefits of having put the bible verses into chronological order...

Do you mean the Ark of the Covenant or the ship/boat that Noah build that was also called the Ark. Either would mean that you are very very old and as such a wonder for this world.

Hello Could I humbly suggest that the poll is asking the wrong question? Our Translations are based on the opinions of men and do not consistently convey the scriptural context that God intended them to have. Some translations have been written around the concept of having a "Christ Focus"...

So, what you are saying is that, even the "Christians" have to repent of their sins of idolatrous worship to be redeemed in our near future? I am not so sure that that is true.

You may be right, but I was focusing on the Hope that God was saying He would bring about.

Have you considered the parable of the New wine skins put into old wineskins? Nor do they put new (w.r.t. age) wine into old (w.r.t. age) wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new (w.r.t. age) wine into new (w.r.t. freshness i.e...

And you are on the same ship. LOL what a hoot. Hope you both have your vests in good working order and are not dunked in the freezing waters for too long.

In the parable of the Brand new wine, i.e. freshly pressed, it is not necessarily put into brand new, i.e. with respect to age, wine skins, but it is put into wineskins that have been refreshed/refurbished so that they will not bust when the brand new wine is put into the skins. Yes, some brand...

Joseph sadly does not see that Jesus and the apostles encouraged "Christians" to come together to worship and lift each other up. That is the function of a society. Some do lift each others up unto the Lord while others tear each other apart and destroy the spark that has been lit in them for...

Walter, if we make two changes to the translation in the passage 17:22-24 we get a very different understanding of what is being said in the passage: - Israel Exalted at Last...

Your quoted generalised statement above is true but maps are a pictorial representation of what the truth may be claimed to be. It is not a fact. The works of Josephus suggests that Rome did send an army to the land of the Chaldeans, but they returned empty handed from that expedition as the...

Bobby, we have not exchanged much dialogue on the bases of scripture, so your above statement is absorbed. Your claim is a false argument and an attempted put down of the person rather than present a useful argument to advance the discussion.

When you can tell me who or what the entities are who are described as the five beasts of Daniel 7:1-12 without resorting to your usual bullying put down etc. then I will identify to the best of my abilities the identities of the people groups kingdom empires and coalitions of nations that are...

Are they not speed bumps when they are on the road?

Many years ago, in June 2011 I was head hunted by the then owners of the forum via an email and joined, but I did not become active on the forum until a few years ago. I became active on this forum because the two other forums I was on faded due to a lack of interest from its members. The...

Back in around 1968 a friend of mine killed three kangaroos with his mini cooper s. One hit the bonnet and died and the other two became impaled on the forward facing external door handles and were also killed. He drove the car another 200 km's to home and his car was off the road for two weeks...

At least he will not have the most number of posts before the end of the years like the projections that I had suggested before his going away to another country for a while before his return as his posting rate is a little lower than previously. However, I find his crypt posting style is a...
