Ps. 116:13 I will take the cup of salvations, and call upon the name of the LORD. In the Hebrew way of thinking...salvation is plural. Just like the above verse...which because it involves a different mindset...has been erringly translated into the singular. But in the Hebrew it is plural. And...

There are three levels of knowledge. I recently saw a pie chart that showed the three levels... 1. What we know 2. What we know we don't know 3. What we don't know we don't know In the pie chart the first was like 1 percent of all knowledge...and the 2nd was like 2 percent....and the rest was...

Ps. 116:13 I will take the cup of salvation(S), and call upon the name of the LORD. כּוֹס-יְשׁוּעוֹת אֶשָּׂא וּבְשֵׁם יְהוָה אֶקְרָא The Hebrew text has the word for "salvation" as plural...or "yeshouot" ...and for good reason. There are 2 salvations necessary to enter into the kingdom...

Eternal life is a kind of life that is found in Jesus Christ. That life is His life...and to get it we must let go of our own. That life is in holiness and in the presence of God. There there is love joy and peace at a depth that surpasses anything we can experience naturally. So we are to...

OK...so I copied this post from another thread (dialectic) to continue with this important subject.. The Little Book: This could be a thread in and of itself. But the chapter is so important to understand why we need to remain in the whole counsel of God. Revelation 10 "1 And I saw another...

The bible is written as a "dialectic"...where there is a thesis...an antithesis..and when these agree we have synthesis. it is a way to understanding the truth based on the way our brains work. We have 2 poles in our brain that function each separately. It's what allows us to become hypocrites...

I got the idea of this thread through a post in another thread that suggested that Paul was a false teacher. I don't see that. I don't believe that. What I see is that nonspiritual people can misread Paul as catering to the flesh. And the champion of all champions of carnal religious men with...

Apparently mullets are making a comeback. This is a warning for those who may be offended by the hairstyles of others. Has anyone here had an experience with mullets?

Does God prefer one religious bent to another? Or is that about us? As in.."I can believe anything I want based on a verse taken out of context"

Greetings to all. I thought to put up a biblical...yes biblical...description of what the fellowship of Christ should look like. And I wish also to add in my own experience of that. ;) 1 Cor. 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine...

We could call the mind loops that are instilled in us through propaganda...circular reasoning. And how much is this pathological conditioning the basis for much of what we believe about the bible? Life is circular...as in..the circle of life. But our minds can be set free from circular...

Now I think that most believers today would agree that the Jews failed at fulfilling the law...even while holding it out to mankind. But did they fail the law because they were just too busy doing others things...like chariot racing? or... did they fail in their direct attempt...a very...

Why are we plagued with so many dogmatic certainties and religious opinions? The ego driven agenda would put these as more important than love and unity. They are things to squabble over rather than coming to any kind of agreement. Is this not carnal? So I have identified, more or less a few...

Now for some strange reason Christianity has become synonymous with leaning way over to the right of the political spectrum. But a Christian should never lean one way or the other. A Christian is to be centrist...balanced...and non-partisan where the opinions and aspirations of men are...

Now I think we all realize that Islam is a totalitarian system. I don't say just religion since Islam covers a lot more than just religious ideas. Islam also ventures into the political sphere...seeking to control every aspect of a person's life. On a religious level...the world is seen by...

.................a net! The kingdom of God is like a net. But unlike a regular fishing net it just catches the smallest fish. The big ones just bounce off. Saul of Tarsus sought to enter into the kingdom...to win Christ. So he made himself as small as he could in order to enter in. Even his...

I am hoping that people will see the verse I am posting as being from the bible. it isn't hard to read the bible. The difficulty is to understand it. And once a person gets the wrong idea...the error follows more error...just as the truth follows more truth. Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by grace are...

With this thread I hope to bring light and clarity to an issue that few ever consider as a problem..that is..how by adding in our own understanding (without a further thought about it) we can invert the meaning of the bible from being truth into becoming a lie. I am not speaking of a willful...

I really like reading the early church fathers. Recently I've been reading Clement...Bishop of Rome and contemporary to John the apostle. He was overseer at Rome from 88 to 99. So we have an opportunity to hear from someone who was near the action of God in the early church. Here is a portion I...

The wilderness church. Now we are called not only to come out of the world but also to come into the promised rest of God. We are called out in order to strive to enter in. We are saved away from death in order to enter the race for life. Hardly anyone is allowed to see the promised land...
