Hello @Jay Ross, I ask you to please be patient with me, and know that I am not seeking to stand against you on this matter, but simply want to sit alongside you and consider what you are saying and why (Strongs No. H776). I have begun by downloading the Hebrew and Greek interlinear Bible and...

Hello Jay, I am not in the habit of playing games with God's Word, and why should I seek to gain an advantage over you. I merely sought to rationalise your argument, and give you further food for thought. May God's will be done in each one of us, for His Name and glory's sake. In Christ...

'Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.' (Mat 5:5) 'But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.' (Psa 37:11) Hello @Jay Ross, The Hebrew and Greek words translated 'earth' in the verses above (H776 and G1093), as I said...

Hi @farouk, I believe you were referring to the phraseology members use in debates, which can sometimes be vague. :) In Christ Jesus Chris

'The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.' (Deuteronomy 22:5) Hello @Ezra, Interesting. Though, not being a Jew, therefore not under the law, it has no application to me...

'Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. .. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. .... When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory. Mortify (reckon as dead) therefore your members which are upon the earth...
