YES.... Bit that in no way means that we are to isolate this story to stand alone away from Anthropology, History, place, themes, time, date of writing and etc. Hermeneutics is a BLEND of arts and SCIENCES to determine the full context of what was written and why it was written. Different...

What often gets forgotten when reading the Gospel accounts.... These people that Jesus denigrated, they weren't trying to be heathen. They were trying to be holy and live holy lifestyles. They were trying to be the "good guys". They were trying to lead by example of how to live a holy life...

Where changing a word or two in order to force a new understanding of scriptures seems wise....it MUST be done in accordance with modern vernacular and the Macro view of the historical setting of the action described. (Which wasn't done in this instance by the person you are replying to)...

Yeah....no kidding. The sacrificial system was set up to "remind" God to not forget his promise to Abraham. It was not a "pay for play" type sin offerings. It goes back to the various animals Abraham split to create the blood flow where God walked the blood path. (As reiterated in...

Well, You didn't have to be named specifically as in Nicodemus's case or like the Apostles. And as far as the Priesthood of Every Believer....fairly common Evangelical/Protestant theological belief. One that keeps the Catholics and Evangelicals from re-uniting once again under the same...

John the Baptist Baptized for something different although said in a contracted form of "for the remission of sins". John Baptized for a principle that has a name today often lost in the shuffle of the New Covenant, the Dark Ages, and a famine of God's Word until the printing press came about...

Many people (myself included) have issues with what we wish to be true vx what we discover is really true. For example the Jews saw that Jesus was the Messiah with irrefutable evidence...but rejected him out of desiring the status quo more. Today we have those with pet theologies that...

It is not again or anew. That was an error in translating made by Erasmus over 500 years ago. And the modern translators keep the error due to tradition even though it's wrong. Nothing much was made of it until around the turn of the 19th century when it became a marketing campaign focusing...

Only works if Jesus actually said "Born AGAIN".... And I know that it gets confusing for people because that's what is written/translated in English. But it's not what He said and not what He meant. John, writing in Early Latin/Greek.... Said that Jesus said "Genethe anothen" or Born from...

Because Putin as well is out of time. His "supplier" of drones and missile parts just had a 12 day war PLUS Russia's economy is in the toilet. The Russian banks got barely enough slack to keep their doors open for another 12 months maximum....if that. And petroleum is taking a nosedive...

Ummmmm Maybe you should seek some new Chemistry classes.... The reactors on nuke subs and Aircraft carriers are shut down not for refueling but to remove the plutonium that develops. (Makes the reaction too hot and uncontrolled) Where yes, it's often referred to as U-239....it's plutonium...

As it's enriched it becomes U 239 (AKA plutonium) Which is what is blended with U 238 to make the fissile material for unrestrained reactions. Now to jump from 60% to 90% is about a few days if processing steadily. But just because you have the material doesn't mean that you have a bomb...

I'm hearing all sorts of reports....waffling all over the place. From calls for death for the head of the IAEA (UN Nuclear inspection team head) to trying to sell off the enriched uranium it has for some yellowcake to power its nuclear reactors for electricity generation. Then there's...

Ok.... But the tech needed to put a nuclear bomb on top of a missile is not easy either. The ICBMs that Iran used on Israel suggests that where technically it is an ICBM its payload is small....too small for a nuke. Russia has the tech...kinda...but it's not telling nor is China...

Apparently the nuclear material survived.... my money is on either Russia or China gets the enriched uranium.... But their getting rid of it tells the WHOLE story. They dont want to get spanked again. https://x.com/dogeai_gov/status/1938764801825448018

Ummmm We have a whole segment of culture that cannot define a man or a woman.

Now see, According to some you can only quote the KJV and go to church on Saturday. Because if you don't....then you're a heathen unbeliever....**shun the unbeliever....shun** (said in a whisky willows voice) Or a Church if Christ member because they are the ONLY ones going to Heaven because...
