    Douay-Rheims Bible, Acts 4: unschooled, ἀγράμματοί (agrammatoi) Adjective - Nominative Masculine Plural Strong's 62: Unlettered, i.e. Illiterate. The Greek word G62 is ambiguous and can be translated differently, New International Version: Zondervan: An amanuensis is a literary or artistic...

    WHOEVER relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches OTHERS to do the same

    This reply is exactly what I meant by your habitually practicing imprecision in terms of FOL Thanks for the reference. This is how to do referencing in a scholarly manner: Display and indent the quoted text. Selectively bold the relevant keywords that are important to the point that you are...

    WHOEVER relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches OTHERS to do the same

    Show me my question and show me your answer. FOL requires precision and no jumping to conclusions. I don't think you understand the words precision and overgeneralization regarding FOL. For an example, see "Whoever is not with me is against me" vs "Whoever is not against you is for you". I...

    "Whoever is not with me is against me" vs "Whoever is not against you is for you"

    Luke 9: I interpret this as the one who is not against Jesus is for Jesus. Let proposition A = a person is against Jesus. F = a person is for Jesus. In terms of first-order logic: Luke 9:50b says ¬A → F = L9b. If a person is not against Jesus, then he is for Jesus. Formally, ¬A → F ⇒ ¬F → A...

    Should you study Koine Greek and ancient Hebrew?

    Do you have to learn Greek and Hebrew to understand the bible fully? No one can fully understand the Bible. If you study the Koine Greek and ancient Hebrew languages, it will help you understand some verses better. It is not a requirement to know God who dwells in you. Should you study Koine...

    What is the difference between kingdom of heaven and kingdom of God?

    Matthew was the only one who used the term kingdom of heaven, Matthew 13: Parallel account in Mark 4: Another parallel account in Luke 8: Both terms mean the same thing. See What is the kingdom of God?. Even in English today, some people say "good Heavens"; some say "good God"; Macmillan...

    WHOEVER relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches OTHERS to do the same

    Not according to FOL. Nevertheless, let me assume that. Now my next question: What makes you think that you have the Paraclete in you? Try to answer that precisely and according to FOL as much as possible. I know that you can't do it, but try anyway and stop overgeneralizing as your usual habit.

    WHOEVER relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches OTHERS to do the same

    True. However, according to FOL, an indication is not a proof. It is only a piece of evidence. Do you have the Paraclete in you? Answer this question, yes or no. It is a simple binary question. It will improve our communication. Otherwise, there is no further purpose for our communication.

    Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said YOU ARE GODS'

    There was this confrontation between some Jews and Jesus in John 10: To me, that's a reasonably valid point of contention from the Jews. What was Jesus doing here saying that "you are gods"? He couldn't be serious, could he? Picking up on the word "god", Jesus cited Psalm 82:6 "You are gods...

    Did God's accepting human sacrifices ever occur in God's mind?

    Jeremiah 7: It never occurred in God's mind that people should sacrifice their sons or daughters. But then, God said to Abraham in Genesis 22: God said that to test Abraham, and the incident provided a type for Jesus' sacrifice many centuries later. After Abraham passed the test, God...

    God will make for Adam a SUITABLE HELPER

    Berean Standard Bible, Genesis 2: Adam had God and animals/pets with him, but he was alone. Eve is a suitable helper for Adam. In what ways? The Bible does not talk much about that. Instead, right in the next chapter, Eve falls for the Serpant's lie and takes Adam with her. a suitable...

    WHOEVER relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches OTHERS to do the same

    At this point, you are jumping to the following kangaroo conclusion. Premise: I call myself a Christian. Conclusion: I have the Paraclete in me. If you don't think you have jumped to a conclusion, then go ahead and show me the logical steps leading to that conclusion. I don't want to waste...

    Did Paul allow a woman to be a deacon?

    John 2: Strong's Greek: 1249. διάκονος (diakonos) — 29 Occurrences The English word "deacon" came from G1249. BDAG διάκονος: A G1249-servant worked for a boss for a specific service/task. There was a more common word G1401 δοῦλος (126 occurrences) that meant servant or slave NIV, 1 Tim 3...

    If we are faithless, he remains faithful.

    2 Timothy 2: Being faith himself, Jesus cannot deny himself and becomes faithless, In this context, Jesus is identified with faith. Jesus is faith and faith is Jesus. They were faithless. They did not have faith/Jesus. Nevertheless, God is faithful to himself.
