Shalom, Trumpeter. Just something to think about: Is it ever okay to sit on His "left hand?" I mean, we don't want the New Jerusalem to be lop-sided!

Shalom, Mungo. Thank you, Mungo; I will certainly look into the book. However, we still have a SEMBLANCE of English grammar that all students are still taught in our schools. Furthermore, even if the rules of English grammar are decaying in some respects, people still have to understand one...

Shalom, Trumpeter. I'd rather this thread not be addressing INTENT, as in the reason why a person might choose to disguise his message. For the purposes of understanding, this thread should not address the morality of the individual, i.e. whether he is being good or evil in his or her...

This is going to be a thread that may seem trivial, but I believe that it has ramifications that intertwine among each one of the on-going threads. Let me build my case: Logic is the mathematics of language, and English grammar is a set of rules to which most who speak English have agreed to...

Shabbat shalom, daq. It absolutely IS what B'reshiyt 9:2-3 says! Here's the Hebrew (transliterated, of course): B'reshiyt 9:2-3 2 Uwmowra'akhem vchitkhem yihyeh `al kaal chayat haa'aarets v`al kaal `owf hashaamaayim bkhol asher tirmos haa'adaamaah uwvkhaal dgeey hayaam byedkhem nitaanuw: 3 Kaal...

Shabbat shalom, daq. That's a HORRIBLE ASSUMPTION!!! You can't know that! To the contrary, he probably ate lamb (Pesach-Passover seders), beef (sacrifices of a bullock), goat (Day of Atonement), as well as pigeon or turtledove (clean birds, what the poor had to offer as sacrifice)! Roosters...

Shabbat shalom, daq. You know that it's not right to mix metaphors, right? Well, don't you understand that this understanding extends to metaphoric speech? It's also not right to mix PARABLES! Each parable is said for a particular reason, and once that discussion has been finished, the usage of...

Shalom, Arnie. Perhaps, but what is His "church?" What is YOUR definition of what HE said He was building? And, does it match HIS definition? We all know that He said, "Upon this rock I will build my church," but our modern definition of "church" is NOT the same thing HE was talking about...

Shalom, Michael V Pardo. Good points. Many who call themselves "Christians" have never even HEARD of the fact that there were 613 commandments! They may "know" that there are ten commandments, but seldom does any one of them know all ten! And, "KEEP" them? Forget it! They will even make EXCUSES...

Shalom, guysmith. Hardly. Is it not a "PARABLE?" A parable is an analogy; it's not the actual event. HOWEVER, WITHIN His parable, these are 10 literal girls or young women who have NOT been with a man, yet! They are "parthenoi," the plural of "parthenos," which is the SAME WORD that was used of...

Shalom, veteran. See it big; keep it simple. It's a good motto to live by. First of all, the "locust army" of Yo'el (Joel) 2:25 is not at all the same as the "locusts" of Revelation 9:1-12! This "great army" that he sent against Isra'el consisted of locusts (REAL bald locusts, large...

Shalom, daq. Of course, I noticed the individual nature of the beema-judgment incidents within Luke 19; however, most Christians today don't have to be instructed on that individuality. Most are taught individualism-in-"Salvation" all the time! What they REALLY need to learn is the nationality...

Shalom, BroTom. LOL! I think you mean "many infirmed" 'cause there's FEW "informed!"

"Well said"? Are you NUTS?! Now, he's got "spiritual virgins!" Ridiculous! I'm picturing Groucho Marx wagging his cigar and saying, "Well, that's the silliest think I've EVER heard!"

Shabbat shalom, dragonfly. First, I feel I need to thank you, too, for a good, honest conversation. It's so refreshing just being able to TALK and share our thoughts without being judged or put down by others who feel they're somehow more intelligent. I love the LORD and I love His people, but...

Shalom, everyone. The next parable was also given within the house: The parable of the seining net. Matthew 13:47-50 47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and...

Shalom, Cooter. Confusing, yes; your words are somewhat confusing. The word "tsiyown" or "tsiyuwn" means "desert" or "wasteland" and does NOT mean "fortress." The Hebrew word for "fortress" is "matsuwd." You're slightly misreading the wording of 2 Sh'mu'el 5:7 2 Sh'mu'el 5:7 7 Vayilkod Daavid...

Shalom, Trumpeter. Alright, you asked for it. Here it comes: Tell me, if you speak for the LORD, what IS the "gospel?" Where did it originate? What about the "good news" is so "good?" Secondly, where is "heaven?" Thirdly, what and where is the "third heaven?" Fourthly, what are the "soul"...

Shalom, Trumpeter. I get little things from such books and movies as "The Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien. In Part One: The Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo is speaking to "Strider" (Aragorn) and says, "I believed that you were a friend before the letter came, or at least I wished to. You...

Shalom, Logabe. Are you being serious or are you being facetious?
