    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    As I have said before, We have zero in common in regards to beliefs and faith. You don't know what I'm saying or have said due to your involvement with this "lady" that claims to be a prophet. . You don't know my God. You don't know scriptures. We do not believe the same things.

    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    Nope.... Many people worship false gods. It's nothing new. People regularly worship gods of their own or someone else's creation. You worshipping some dame, now dead, who lied extensively. The test for a prophet is 100% accuracy.... Even a minor mistake is proof of not being a prophet of...

    Oh I believe that you think that you are following my God....you just aren't

    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    My God is all about truth.... Each individual matters....including all 6 Mary....He doesn't confuse and lump them into one person. Your god? Nope. Could care less about truth and glosses over people. Gets confused....easily. meaning not omniscient or Sovereign, or Holy, holy holy.

    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    She may because spokesman for YOUR god, She is not a spokesperson from mine.....mine is very very different.

    Trump administration revoking thousands of student visas

    Truck drivers have been needing the pay bump for a while now. Their pay hasn't gone up in a long time but the cost of everything else has gone up. And the cost of shipping will have to go up as well. The hiring of those who cant speak, read, or write English is actionable....by the companies...

    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    But they were tested and found to be false, wrong, and nothing worth investing into. However you uphold her as primary....and that makes YOUR god very different from mine.

    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    So exactly how do you drink cyanide laced water without getting the cyanide? You can't.... So no thank you. We don't have anything in common. No basis of faith to discuss anything.

    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    Nobody on this forum is going to give any regard for her writings.

    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    Maria Valtorta.... She has been mostly abandoned....FOR GOOD REASONS. Even the Catholics dont recognize her writings as authoritative or inspired. The Protestants definitely are not.

    ARE ALL BIBLE TRANSLATIONS TRUSTWORTHY?

    Greek and Early Latin both have a logical system to them....even if they are overly idiomatic at times. Hebrew is more unique in that it is verb based and metaphoric (despite the only one person who disagrees). The metaphors arent that difficult and the alphabet in it's original form was more...

    No wonder your theology has serious flaws....

    The Cost of Slaves

    I dont think we can just throw up our hands at the situation and say, "we are never going to stop it so let's just tax it" Which is somewhat what the tariffs are about. I met a young lady from Afghanistan who was in an arranged marriage cutting hair at a JCPenny...but she liked her husband...

    The Cost of Slaves

    Oh yeah....China regularly uses prison labor for massive economic benefit. But unlike America paying wages for the work (pittance it may be) in China your production is tied directly to whether or not you get food and water. Not every prison in the USA offers work to prisoners. Most do not...

    ARE ALL BIBLE TRANSLATIONS TRUSTWORTHY?

    Scriptures are a miracle in themselves. 5500 years old with 40 authors written over 3000 years in 4 different languages on 2 continents.... And in perfect agreement. We cant get two people on this forum to agree as much as scriptures do. That's why I say it's a miracle.

    ARE ALL BIBLE TRANSLATIONS TRUSTWORTHY?

    Both of those are actually decent translations....people are uncomfortable with using them. Paraphrased instead of w-f-w....but in truth no English language Translation is going to be a real word-for-word translation anyway because of the nature of the Donor languages. And a serious student...

    The Cost of Slaves

    There exists more than one type of slavery, There is the kind where a person is bought and sold, often in chains or restraint of some sort....identifying collar of ownership as was discussed in the videos.... Then there also exists Economic Slavery.... Where you work for a company, rent your...

    The Cost of Slaves

    Considering about 20% of the population was a slave throughout the Roman Empire.... It gives us insight to people like Blind Bartamaus....who might have once been an important slave in charge of someone wealthy business or household. His calling out of "Son/Seed of David" indicates he was well...

    ARE ALL BIBLE TRANSLATIONS TRUSTWORTHY?

    Have you read them? Or do you just own them? I'm thinking the latter.

    The Cost of Slaves

    Life was extremely brutal and cruel....
