When Christ says that in John 18:36, you have to look at the original word used for world. With the English language, world tends to mean Earth. The word in the Greek (Jesus would have spoken Aramaic obviously) is kosmos. Our English equivalent would be cosmos, but even then the connotations of...

6th Trump, 6th Seal, 6th Vial(Bowl) The answer is given in the study, it just tends not to line up with the doctrines of men looking for a man wearing red with a pitchfork and RFID scanner in hand.

I wouldn't be quite so sure about that. Politicians in general are good at PR, and you're already seeing more "fees" and "penalties" at the lower levels (as well as some federally). Get ready to see more such means of driving revenue....which is a term also used in favor of taxes. The government...

It's always been my belief that the star was not something like we often see depicted in the movies, plays, or cartoons but that it was a certain "sign" in the stars with a key star being the sign/star. I know I've mentioned it before on here, but it's already been calculated that Jupiter was in...

Thanks for the encouragement, still a long way to go, but simple statements and encouragement mean so much!

Tanya, if you have any questions, let me know. You can also click on "Help" at the top of the page if you're not sure how to do something.

Hope your week gets better anie!

I don't normally respond the public on issues about individual accounts, but do note the "Account Disabled" status of this particular account. Thanks. I don't like to remove threads and only remove the most hateful and hurtful leaving the rest so folks can know what's really out there. If you...

Jesus Christ is fine to call upon in English. I think it's just important for folks to know at least a little of the underlying Hebrew and Greek because there is so much there in his name.

One minute you're a Communist, the next a Socialist. Pick one already. Again, how many mulligans are required for Communism? Everyone that attempted that path has failed, miserably or at least to the point that the government has to be changed. At what point do we finally acknowledge that an...

I'm going to keep prodding and pushing everyone including myself on this one. Brother Mike, it seems like your church might have it together - maybe they never made the mistakes that lead to the youth and young adult problem? I appreciate your sharing the link, and I will have to check it out...

No, please don't take me out of context there, I don't want to confuse anyone. What I meant about the getting killed remark is a hypothetical to the reply of rapture believers. It was simply a statement that I'm not sure what rapture believers think will happen to people like me who don't...

I've been in a discussion with a good Pastor recently about the state of the church he oversees as well as the state of the church locally and in general. To give you a little bit of background, this is a small and relatively rural church. This church is located is in a suburb of the state's...

Well I've tried to shift towards that line of thinking in my discussions. If I can get you to examine Scripture and know it regardless of rapture or no rapture, then I feel like that's all I can do. I point out time and time again that I frequently study with and cite an author/scholar who...

Perhaps we agree to disagree, but the very topic and OP of this thread contains that. The topic is, of course, "Are You In A Church Like The One Jesus Set Up?" The implication being couched somewhat but shown to be the idea that if your church doesn't speak tongues (everyone) then you're not...

I hail from the Steeplechase Capital of the World as they like to say, so I can appreciate the beauty of the animals. My parents' house is next door to the practice facility and across the street from where the two annual events are held. I actually proposed to my now wife at the practice stands...

Well, I think like Mike illustrated here, there are creative things you can do to get around many topics. I don't know how seriously people take these things, but I'd imagine most of these are pranks or just silly questions anyway. I think you could have some fun there. When addressing...

Unfortunately men (and women) putting requirements on other men (and women) is nothing new under the sun. It becomes the litmus test for being a true Christian, and it comes to a point where you are less of a Christian because you don't speak tongues like all the others. Perhaps most...

I merged the topics to make it a little more clear as to what our OP was talking about. In the future, feel free just to post a name and link. ;) You really do need to cite articles simply because the author can ask us and we obligated to take them down. Thanks.

Would seem to suggest that for me. The ESV rendering is not my favorite because the Greek is to stoop and look down or look into - the same as John 20:5. It does suggest they don't know everything, but I liken them to a state just above our own in that respect. God knows everything, but all of...
