“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only." Matthew 24:36 Let's break it down: The setting is Matthew 24:3 where Jesus' disciples ask Him about the timing, "saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and...

So began these times of the gentiles with the coming of our Helper, the Holy Spirit sent by Jesus: Acts 2 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all [a]with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the...

Have you noticed? I have. There are AI-like answers/arguments being made to posts. They lack heart but sound like a newna ture of repent ingchristian s sporting the arm orofgod. No typos. Very wordy, and I don't mean from scripture wordy. Semantic chess of a wordsmith thief. Argumentative...

HIGHER VOLUME does not make for better worship. It makes it worse. Please allow me to explain: Worship leaders and teams have been pumping up the volume like we are frogs in a pot of water on the stove...and many have crossed a line. That line is the difference between music and worship as a...

Let's hear it! What is the measure--the whole house, or only a few? I am tired of being accused and called names. I have given my testimony here on Christiany Board a half dozen times or more, published books on the details; and have been here for years not discussing, not weighing in, not...

The "Christian Life" is not a "Camping Permit" to take up residence in this fallen world, in this desert--for forty years, or a lifetime--as it were. We were not born into this "valley of the shadow of death", this "valley of decision" to linger or get comfortable. When we find out that this...

Some here apparently think so...as if God is not "the same yesterday, today, and forever", as if He never said, "I do not change" (Malachi 3:6). Did God answer prayers? Does He still answer prayers? Was God a healer? Does He still heal? Did God do miracles? Does He still do miracles? Did God...

King of what, exactly? Context is a literary rule--of men--not of God! In fact, the scriptures show many exceptions where context is completely broken--by God. There are too many to list, but I have given a few examples below--the point being: Stop listening to the teachings of men and their...

Do you make claims of what is biblically true, by your own understanding of the scriptures? Jesus said, speaking to Peter "flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven...on this rock I will build My church." Unfortunately, that qualification is violated here...

The story of Balaam the prophet and his donkey who talked, is a good lesson on just how God sends people to speak for Him. It doesn't make the prophet out to be so very special as we might think of the prophets of God, but actually shows him getting reprimanded to emphasize the limit of what he...

Ezekiel Chapter 26 is rich in prophecy and spiritual language. I wonder who can understand it? A start is "Tyre", or "Tyrus", or "Tarshish." In Chapter 28 King Tyrus is referred to as: "O covering cherub" where God said of him, "I cast you as a profane thing Out of the mountain of God; And I...

What "adding" is actually, not just okay, but necessary and meant to be? Consider the warning of Revelation 22:18-19: For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19...

Most look to the written word of God as being literary (language-based), and that it is. But more importantly--it's not--but is spirit. John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. As "language"--the words...

Nothing is coincidence. The recent issue of self-identity and the use if not demand for proper pronouns, i.e, we, they, etc. has not been a thing of people and their various identity issues--not only--but more importantly it has been a thing of God and by God. It begins with us. These issues...

He (Jesus) Himself gave some to be [false] apostles, some [false] prophets, some [evil] evangelists, and some [phony] pastors and [false] teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith...

“Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven." These are the times for which Jesus gave the above warning--because He was then going to the Father and would send the Holy Spirit. And what...

"Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.” Isaiah 42:9 "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and...

“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it...

When I came to know the Lord change was easy. How could I not? But coming to know God and salvation, is not what this thread is about. Briefly for introduction: I did not know there was a God, but felt the weight of the world--as we all do in our own way. For me, it was as if I was set up, I...

Parables in the scriptures are not the same as parables elsewhere. Parables elsewhere may have multiple meanings too--even a hidden meaning, or not. But in the scriptures parables have their own structure not at all common elsewhere. In no other literature are there parables that include a...
