    Acts 2:44

    Act 2:44 And all the believers were together and had all things common. This is the literal translation of the verse. The word "common" is koinis in Greek which is related to koinonos or koinonia which means a sharer or sharing. All things means a particle of a union. Hapas in Greek. The...

    Acts 2:44

    I love your signature. Certainly gives the saying a new meaning.

    GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT

    You will find in the Jewish system of learning, it was the norm to be taught by a Rabbi to learn all things Jewish. Paul went down that path and was seen as a teacher of repute because he learned well and taught well. Jesus spent three years with his 12 disciples and he told them to go and...

    GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT

    Fetus is Latin for baby and if they watched that and said it was not a baby they have got rocks in their head.

    GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT

    As one who has taught English to students, I am well versed in the correct way to use vocabulary. When you are speaking a language that is not your normal language, it is easy to misinterpret words, especially when one word can mean different things depending on the inflection you put on it. In...

    GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT

    Although this is not directly linked to the nine gifts as set out in 1 Corinthians 12, I thought I will comment on it as it intrigues me. In Acts 2:4 it says "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave the ability to them to speak...

    Not once have I said that an interpretation is literally word for word.

    GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT

    Ther final gift of the Spirit I am going to deal with is the interpretation of tongues, or as the literal translation of scripture says languages. 1Corinthians 12:10 and to another, workings of powers, and to another, prophecy, and to another, discerning of spirits, and to another, kinds of...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    Can you then tell me what is the significance of the day of Pentecost when they are told to repent and be baptized? There is no mention of faith there?

    THE CHURCH AND SAME SEX MARRIAGE

    A headline in the newspaper I read said: "SAME-SEX UNIONS DIVIDE CHURCH." Uniting Church ministers who oppose same-sex marriage said they are being pushed, harassed and bullied out of the church by progressives at the helm of Australia's third-largest denomination. "They are using church...

    'Religion versus Personal Relationship' Replaced the Gospel in Many Evangelical Churches

    A couple of weeks ago we had our silver seventies lunch, a meal for those 70 and over. During the course of the conversation, I said that nowhere in scripture are we told to accept Jesus into our hearts. That set the cat amongst the pigeons. what about this verse and what about that verse. My...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    I guess the way to answer this question is to look at what the bible says. On the day that the church was birthed and it welcomed its first members what was the message given to them in answer to their question men and brethren what shall we do? Here is the reply... Acts 2:38 And Peter said to...

    Why do so many Christians vehemently disagree?

    I have a simple answer for this so forgive me if it is too simple. The church, by and large, is totally ignoring scripture. Paul spoke about the for want of better word denominations in the church at Corinth (divisions). I am of Paul, I am of Apollos, etc (same as denominations). His teaching...

    Climate change hoax and Greta Thunberg

    Satan will use anything to cast doubts on the existence of God. He wants to rule the world so if he can stir people up to believe that they can control and solve the problem he is very happy. Climate change or whatever you call it is satan's way to get people to believe that they need to control...

    Christian Denomination Differences

    A very good point Illini. And that is where most of the teaching in the church falls down. How many times have you heard a preacher start his sermon by saying "My text for today is" and then he quotes one verse of scripture and then rambles on what he thinks the verse means throwing in a few...

    Friday Funnies by Joe McGee

    Did you hear about the pastor that had a toothache? He went to the dentist who said his teeth were a basket case and they needed to come out. The following Sunday his sermon lasted five minutes and the following week 10 minutes. The next week it lasted for two and a half hours. One of the...
