This is the "wrap-up" of Chapter 5 of what (I hope) Sean is reading at this particular time. I thought it might prove at least entertaining, if not informative to us here. Why is it that people so often find things in Bible narratives that are not really there — read into the Bible their own...

A little something you may not have known..... Thousands of times in the Old Testament the KJV translators woodenly followed the Hebrew word order in a way that does not produce normal, idiomatic English. Did you ever notice, for example, how many verses (or sentences) in the KJV begin with the...

I recently made a fairly bold statement that I thought a certain book was so important that I felt people should read that book before they began to seriously (and studiously) read the Bible, itself. We hear a lot about "reading in context", but it occurred to me that some people may not really...

…. that President Trump was the ONLY one of all of the 6 presidents alive who attended Billy Graham's funeral? The only one. He and Melania and Pence and his wife, Karen, went. (All of the presidents received an invitation) George and Laura Bush visited the Library, but did not go to the...

….... some of y'all's undies in a knot, but I thought it was cool. (No, I know it isn't accurate to scripture with the snake, so save yourself some typing...….. many of the "hymns" we sing take a few liberties, too.)

I ran across this while reading: As noted, Revelation has historically generated an intensity of interest unparalleled among any of the books of Scripture. Yet, at the same time — as evidenced by the extreme diversity of the views on Revelation — it has been a most difficult book to interpret...

…. most of us need to be more knowledgeable about it than we are.

I found this interesting...….. According to some well-known pastors, Jesus’ teachings are primarily about fire and brimstone. For example: “… he [Jesus] himself speaks twice as often of hell as of heaven.” — D.A. Carson, Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount and His Confrontation with the World “He...

Past, Present, and Future walked into a bar. It was a tense situation. A bike in town keeps running over me. It's a vicious cycle.

I know this bolded part will border upon Satanic heresy for some of you. But, that is a "given", considering the group we have here. So, as I usually do, I will ignore such a faction and address this to those of you I have come to respect as thinkers. An interesting and often rewarding...

If you feel meditation is an Eastern Religion hang-up, this is no thread for you. These are but a few thoughts Richard Foster gave on Christian meditation. A beautiful kind of contemplative prayer is meditation upon the creation. Now, this is no infantile pantheism, but a majestic monotheism...

Sin is such a complex matter that the Hebrew language has eight different words for it, and all eight are found in the Bible.

….. for thousands of years. The simple dance was called the Tripudium.

Please join us. This forum is not perfect, but the people here are far more humane and Christ-loving than where you just were.

On another forum, several people trashed a certain book. So, of course, I immediately had to grab myself a copy. (Bless all the "Haters" who open so much of the word of God to me.... while trying their best to destroy it.) What do you think of these words in the book? Some have exalted...

WRITTEN BY A YOUNG COLLEGE STUDENT The person who wrote this is a college (law) student. Perhaps there is hope for us after all. DIVORCE AGREEMENT Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late...

They are not just following noise-makers who want to be politicians.
