Where I see a lot of opinions that mostly blame people for not studying the scriptures... Plus we have a HUGE number of professing Christians claiming to be teachers...(Which huge volumes of people ignore) The root problem of scriptures is consumability. Meaning people can't consume...

That's not exactly true....your dates are way off. The Geneva Bible for UK and Gutenburg for Germany are the disruptors/ innovators of literacy for the common man. Both of these appeared early/mid 1500's. About the same time chapter and verse numbers were used to break up themes in...

He could be pandering too. It's not like politicians are never guilty of this. It's kinda their specialty.

I have seen rosaries...some nice ones and some that are more souvenirs than expected to be used...I think. I'm not exactly sure what these things are used for. (I'm not catholic) But a string of beads of some sort is an inanimate object and apparently used for some sort of Prayers. At a...

Well, Jesus backhandedly was referring to three things. Targums (Aramaic translation of scriptures with sermons) Sifre (commonly asked questions and answers to the meaning of the Laws) and Midrash (discussions/debates concerning various aspects of the Law which were debatable) All three were...

The cognitive biases and logical fallacies often used to interpret scripture can be bypassed IF YOU WANT TO....but it often requires a friend to help you. Jewish society and culture was extremely regimented far more than your average person assumes based solely on the fact that it was at a...

Hallak is the Jewish term "the walk" where you have a question when reading scriptures....one not readily answered by the scriptures you are reading. And that search for the answers gives rise to more questions....which demands answers. And somewhere along the way some of the questions get...

Hate is NOT the opposite of love. Apathy is. We fight because we care. And seeking to our own individual interests. But when you stop being so individual and start becoming more of a "we" and relaxing in that "we" knowing that your spouse will indeed see to your needs without fail...your...

What type of Heuristics? To do what? It's in WordPress....meaning the possibility of attatched viruses is high. There's more than one way to skin a cat...

I haven't read the article.... But the premise that Sola Scriptura is a must for scripture interpretation is a very bad one. First off we cannot solely use the scriptures to learn the alphabet....and we don't. So since osmosis doesn't work we gain learning from outside of scriptures to learn...

They have a different plan for Trump.. https://x.com/TonySeruga/status/1823877444052697576

@Johann (Just for a brief moment of levity) You put Augustine and Jerome both in the same post and they weren't fighting? How could you? That's completely heretical.

Suffice it to say... What God thinks is nothing like what man thinks. What we consider as "life altering" serious deviation is a "nothing" to God. God knows the future better than we do our own past. We cannot throw a surprise party for God.

You may think it's incoherent ramblings....likely because you don't understand what is going on in the world.... But everyone else thought it was a clear discussion about Trump's platform. The things he wants to do as president. They may or may not be good ideas. That's for people to...

No.... TS2009 (The Scriptures 2009) Before that it was ISR'98 (Institute of Scripture Research 1998) I have a hard copy of ISR98 but only an electronic copy of TS2009. Not many changes. They tend to know all the old Talmud, Sifre, and etc from the Jewish extra-biblical literature in Israel...

Why wouldn't I make that assumption? It's literally the Church of Enland's translation made by that church for their church members specifically. The Baptists have their translation made by them for themselves and their publishing house Lifeway. The Catholics have their specific translation...

As I am not Anglican/COE I don't use that particular translation out of the 900+ various translations I could use. I'm not likely to change denominations to Church of England anytime soon either. You might enjoy that particular denomination but their doctrines and mine don't go together very...

Gnosticism is a doctrine Universalism is a doctrine Calvinism is a doctrine Or are these theological systems? Oxford says: "a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a Church, political party, or other group. "the doctrine of predestination" So....it appears to be synonymous with...

Yes... Recordings this morning are very clear. I would say Trump was more coherent, less rambling, less stilted too. A Billion people listened. More by this point. I guess the prohibitions actually reversed the effect....it caused more people to listen.

So.... Yesterday night Elon Musk and Donald Trump had a roundtable discussion about Trump's platform and what he wants to do and accomplish during his presidency. It went about an hour Long after a DDOS attack on X. The reactions and furor were astounding. The UK threatened Elon for...
