There is no ministry over the body of Christ. 24Now there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest. 25And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’...

I don't think I should go to a house that was left desolate. And you're not funny. Why would I mention a bunch of evasive nonsense? Christ had a lot to say about how the Sabbath should be kept. They didn't mention any of the other 9 commandments either. Is it okay to break those now? I'm...

No, I'm being facetious, and you're trying to be clever but I don't think it's working. .

Neither the 4th, nor any other of the Ten Commandments has anything to do with the liturgical function of the Levitical-Aaronic priesthood. .

Neither of which mentions the Sabbath. Jesus didn't come to destroy the law or replace the Sabbath. He is LORD of the Sabbath. One doesn't preclude the other. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. (1 John 2:6) So He came to Nazareth, where He had been...

Poor guys who lied, stole, dishonored their parents, and idolized also got put to death. Aren't you glad for the neo-New Covenant so we can do those things without being killed by the mean God of the Old Testament?!! .

Continued... Very many, reading the history of David's fall, have inquired, “Why has this record been made public? Why did God see fit to throw open to the world this dark passage in the life of one so highly honored of Heaven?” The prophet, in his reproof to David, had declared concerning his...

Continued... Nathan the prophet was bidden to bear a message of reproof to David. It was a message terrible in its severity. To few sovereigns could such a reproof be given but at the price of certain death to the reprover. Nathan delivered the divine sentence unflinchingly, yet with such...

Patriarchs And Prophets Chapter 71—David's Sin and Repentance The Bible has little to say in praise of men. Little space is given to recounting the virtues of even the best men who have ever lived. This silence is not without purpose; it is not without a lesson. All the good qualities that...

Steps To Christ From Chapter 8—Growing Up Into Christ In the matchless gift of His Son, God has encircled the whole world with an atmosphere of grace as real as the air which circulates around the globe. All who choose to breathe this life-giving atmosphere will live and grow up to the...

Please don't misquote me. I didn't say the following: YOU DID: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and...

I know we're not exactly on the same page here, but I get a little bewildered sometimes by the attitude that salvation is a long-odds game. I don't believe everyone will be saved, even if against their own will, but I do believe everyone could. I've given some really deep thought to problems...

Ah, Especially Saccharine Parlance? :hearteyes: .

And the parable of the rich man and Lazarus is the only one for which folks will go down swinging while insisting it is a true story. There is no place in the Bible that says the stories told in parables contain only actual events. The very nature of parabolic/allegorical/metaphorical...

@Jack, don't hesitate to let me know if there's anything else I can do to help. I promise not to try sneaking anything heretical in on you. ;) :hearteyes: .

There is virtually no standalone desktop Bible software for beginners, probably because no one has figured away to make a ton of money on it. Back in the not-so-old days you could find decent cd-rom Bible software in bargain bins at Walmart, etc. But they won't run on newer computers and they...

It is. :hearteyes: .
