    WHO SHOULD WE FOLLOW?

    I do apologize for YOUR lack of reading ability. I covered that, but you missed it in your haste to once again try to tell the world how I, and everyone else, is so incorrect.

    ARE ALL BIBLE TRANSLATIONS TRUSTWORTHY?

    You are invited to believe anything you want. (You will anyway...you believe nobody but you is right) I have done extensive studies from a plethora of experts....not just one or two. And even though they are Jewish there is a concensus. Biblical Hebrew is not the same as modern...

    WHO SHOULD WE FOLLOW?

    Ahhhhh..... Great question! And I happen to have an answer to that. Do you know the two greatest Commandments? Love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, soul, and might. Love thy neighbor as yourself. Now this is the crux. Objectively God is primarily concerned with your...

    ARE ALL BIBLE TRANSLATIONS TRUSTWORTHY?

    Well that is the problem isn't it? Which Latin Vulgate? None have it before the 16th century....and only certain ones afterwards.

    Thought Traps?

    That's a different sort of thought trap....its influence....getting a person to focus on things they ordinarily would not. It's very much a thought trap that some people have a very difficult time getting past. It's called "farming". The Social Media algorithms are sowing seeds of anger...

    Thought Traps?

    Elon Musk is also a puzzle person. Except his is on a mechanical level as well as programming involved. Mine can and has involved scriptures. Sure, we read them in English but so much has been left out because it was "common knowledge " and a part of the Hebrew language and customs that...

    Biblical divorce

    Actually.. Those of the Old Covenant along with those of us from the New, together, create the Righteousness of God. Trying to remember where Paul wrote that.

    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    The things of this world are but a temporary shadow of the reality that exists in Heaven. Time, the first thing God created right after God's plan for our redemption has a beginning and an end. It is not a morbeus strip or without beginning or end. So let's first understand that our...

    ARE ALL BIBLE TRANSLATIONS TRUSTWORTHY?

    I don't need to tell them. They already know it if they really know Hebrew well. If they only know Yiddish....that's another story. The crux is the VERB based language versus English which is noun based.

    ARE ALL BIBLE TRANSLATIONS TRUSTWORTHY?

    Especially when Hebrew is a verb-based metaphoric language. There is no language that is going to equate.

    ARE ALL BIBLE TRANSLATIONS TRUSTWORTHY?

    Uhhhh. re-read what I posted. There's only ONE parent copy of the Latin Vulgate that says that. The other three do not. Are the other three Latin Vulgate wrong? Which one(s) are correct? How about when the Syriac, Alexandrian, and Coptic agree perfectly with three of the four Latin...

    ARE ALL BIBLE TRANSLATIONS TRUSTWORTHY?

    The There is no single Latin "Vulgate" manuscript that matches another. Each one is unique and different. It is determined that there were 4 different original parent vulgate bibles that the others in existence were copied from. Each one adding more copyist errors with deletions/sumarizing...

    I see on YouTube the rapture is but days away

    Trump administration revoking thousands of student visas

    Truck drivers are next on the list. If they cannot speak or read English fluently....guess what? Truck and cargo confiscated. Regardless of whether or not they have a valid license and DOT health card. It's putting lots of Truck drivers back to work. But more importantly it's keeping...

    ARE ALL BIBLE TRANSLATIONS TRUSTWORTHY?

    Ok... When translating you have a donor language Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek and Early Latin. Then you have a receptor language English Hebrew is verb based and English is noun based. now what most people miss is that English tends to be hyper-specific....but languages arent when it comes to...

    ARE ALL BIBLE TRANSLATIONS TRUSTWORTHY?

    It's the "comma yohanim" Only listed in the KJV due to an insertion into the copy of the Latin Vulgate Cambridge University used when making this particular translation. There was a huge debate over including it when they did it too. Today no modern translation has it because it's not in...

    Receiving Jesus. - What does it mean?

    Ummmm I'm not the one playing semantics.... What Paul describes as quarreling over words. You are warned....do it again OR continue to go on with how you are so innocent and I put you on ignore. You will have no one to interact with once I do.
