Also, Paul and Barnaba's did a lot of traveling to preach to the gentiles, so I'm sure they influenced one another in how they spoke and wrote.

Could be! I've only read a small bit of Barnaba's writings and, that was long ago. I know many think it was Barnabas. Hmmm...maybe it was both, lol.

The biggest difference I can see from Paul's other epistles and Hebrews is that he seems to never use his name or refer to himself. Maybe the reason why is because he became a 'Jew to the Jews, a Gentile to the Gentiles' so, his use of language changed somewhat there? Either way, I do believe...

BTW "The traditional idiom is to pique one's interest, with pique meaning “to provoke or arouse.” Like perk, however, peaked can also make sense in context. Peak means “to bring to a maximum value or intensity,” and this is certainly what one might mean when saying, “my interest was peaked.” So...

Lol...I WILL. Doing Hebrews now and pretty much finished yet, does not really give much about the "unknown" author...probably Paul. It sure seems an interesting study for sure. And, no problem knowing who the Author is with those letters!! :eek::D

Hello Hobie I've often wondered at that as well. I wonder if it could have something to do with the fact that all Jews as well as Christ, were still under the law as, Christ had not died and risen yet? As we know, He came to fulfill the law because no human could ever keep and fulfill all of...

Yes, correct...oops.

Not well enough versed on it. Would call for much study and, I already am in the middle of one right now...but since my interest is peaked, sure I'll probably look into it more :)

Hi Chris, " I do not believe that it is possible for anyone, other than those who heard the Lord Jesus Christ..." This is something I have never thought of. And, I believe you are correct. It was situational, during a certain time period dealing with the hard hearted Pharisees. I can only...

"He had sent (John 6:29). Only unbelief could draw forth such a condemnation." Hi Chris, I enjoyed your post. How would you compare these 2 verses: "Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be...

Lol...good to know :)

Amen sistah! "2 Timothy 4: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap...

Hi Rocky, This is one of those "scratching my head" scriptures. Some would say that this is because God chooses who goes to hell or heaven. I do not cotton to that doctrine so, like @CharismaticLady said...put it on the shelf and pray for clarity. :)

I wish I could send you bags and bags of rice! I do pray God will provide, as He is our provider. And that He will send help for you all. God Bless

Awesome. They remind me a bit of The Trans Siberian Orchestra!

Sure can, and does like, instantly! We have to keep honing our spirits sister. So sorry @Not me ... I did not mean to side track here. I won't do it again. And, BTW @Heart2Soul you should have corrected me!!!! :D :D :D

Lol...good one Ron. Many have no clue that beauty runs skin deep...or not? "because of the four monsters." :D

Hi Devin, My take is that good works are a "result" of being born of God. Before Christ, our "works" were as "filthy rags" to God. But, with Christ and the Holy Spirit within us, we are spurred onto good works because He puts that in our hearts. Many times before I knew The Lord, I'd help...

Hi My Dreams, When God sent them to proclaim the Gospel, He said nothing would hinder their their mission. Remember when Paul was bitten by a poisonous snake? And, he simply shook it off his hand into the fire? I see that as an attack of the evil one to stop the Gospel from going forth. But...
