Absolutely!

Not necessarily. A CoC preacher once told us all that we have to "put on our sandals" to understand what people of that time period wrote to their contemporaries.

Just about all of this post can be addressed by pointing out that Paul had nothing at all to do with any of what went on there, and may not have even known, at the time, that the whole Pentecost scene of Acts 2 ever went on.

Hi! It will be an experience. LOL

I guess it was the thinking in an ancient Jewish context that impressed me so much. We, today, seem to forget to do that with so much that is written in the Bible.... when it is so obvious that the book MUST be read that way..... NOT with 21st Century thinking.

The reason I ever read it in the first place, is that I honestly do think the same old canned "Shanda la sha bamba" I hear so many preachers blurt out is as phony as a three dollar bill...… even though I DO believe a miracle of HEARING went on that day at Pentecost. One thing that struck me is...

I'm saying you didn't "read" 9,896 words in five minutes. And that is just what I asked not be done.

I think that is about what he came up with. Actually, I can't say I agree with some of his conclusions. (In truth, he merely commented on various ideas several people worked out.) My main reason for posting that was all the interesting things about people and languages that I never had heard...

I'd still like to hear from the mature readers.

No one can know all there is to know. And although some of us may feel we know just about everything, we may not be correct in all of it. And there are saved believers (of maybe only a few day's knowledge of God) who know next to nothing — and a whole spectrum in-between. Is God going to give...

Anyone here ever read, The Great Divorce? I often feel like we got on that bus.

If you have the maturity (patience) to read something all the way through, carefully and slowly, without judging, you might like this article. If you lack that ability, don't bother opening this. (It isn't being placed here to listen to arguments about how you "know" what is correct. It's...

Isn't "mentally ignoring" something pretty much the same thing as burying your head in the sand? LOL

I've never yet used [IGNORE], except for a couple of very profane trolls that no one seemed to think should have been silenced. But, I understand it does seem to make posting online (on any forum) much better for a lot of people.

There are about 6 or 8 people here I anticipate a good conversation with. (Three of them have answered you here.) The rest of the time I have come to expect an argument, or sometimes, an all-out fight. BTW, I loved reading your PROFILE information.

Why don't you go show your parents what you have been posting?

I'm a MAGA man, but I think I would be sad and depressed too If I spent too much time working around President Trump. LOL

I went to some of her meetings decades ago when she and her now-divorced husband used to rent a warehouse in Tampa (just across the bridge from me). She made sense in the early days, but just like so many of them, fame seems to somehow warp their minds over the years.

Yeah, I think she has followed right behind Benny Hinn, and pretty much lost her grip on reality.

Well, I'm not a Futurist, so I don't read Revelation as a crystal ball of doom. I expect that my life will be lived out in relative comfort and safety. Of course that doesn't mean that I can't see the civil war that is soon coming to America. But, I think I can handle that.
