Ahhh, yes! Now it the scriptures you quoted come back to me, thank you for that. And as to your OP "Who will join me in suspecting that we could well be currently experiencing a 21st Century 'Provocation'?" I certainly do agree here yet...we must not forget Nineveh, yes? In Him my brother, Nancy

"Yet more and more the Leaders in both our countries, are being given more individual prominence and power than is right, or safe, I feel." Agreed. It is "mans" way, and not God's yet...He uses evil for the good for those who love Him... :) And, I so love that verse. "God's will, will be...

Hi Chris, Even though there are parts in the bible that say that God basically puts into office those over us. It makes me wonder about the "free will" of the people. “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God”...

Same here Mayflower, It was all in good fun until I realized the truth of it all. It is NOT harmless at all and, I am glad that your children are young enough to understand early on :)

Thanks G. I know a pastor who works with one of the companies and he is their most successful sales guy. I really like him and his family very much. I will check out your link and, thank you. :)

The really sad part P.W., is that Satan hides in plain sight...(and, yes...NOT from God, of course) He's devised a plan to do this kind of thing eons ago. Make himself seem harmless and non- existent. He is behind ALL things pertaining to evil...and most do not see even an inkling of him as...

Hi Rj, I do believe you got the main issue correct. I and several others wanted to do the solar panels on our houses but, when we found what they cost...we couldn't afford it. And, even if we could we'd probably be dead and gone before we were to see any savings benefit. My electric is pretty...

Not quite sure what that means Mike..

"God's truth never changes but our understanding of it grows, thus our Theology changes as we build a 'better comprehension" I do believe we never stop growing and learning. If one has the humility to be teachable there is much we could learn from one another. I know that many times, what I...

"Even though the epistle of the Hebrews does not directly identify its author no one knew the O.T. scriptures like the Apostle Paul in the N.T. And most biblical scholars say the greatest book ever written by man was Romans and Paul quotes the O.T. everywhere in that epistle much like we see in...

"it is it's content which matters more than it's authorship, don't you agree?" Agreed. I just find it to be interesting that, if it was Barnabas, why are there none of his writings in the N.T. xo

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...
