Your understanding of this parable and the Parable of the Minas does not match the narrative found in both parables. In the Parable of the Minas the man who goes away when he returns, wants to kill all of his servants who no longer wanted him to be master over them. In Rev 12 we are told that...

I do not like being milked like a cash cow to satisfy your whims. If I was to cross every "T" and dot every "I" then I would never be able to do the things I need to do with respect to my relationship with God or be able to write a response that would fit within the character limit of this...

If you know your bible and are honest with the other members, you will know the answer to that question as well.

Seems like you enjoy showing off your ego as well.

Perhaps you have not understood what I posted. When Jesus made this statement, " Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.", He was qualifying who among those who call Jesus "Lord," will inherit the earth. We should be "meek" in our walk with Jesus while we draw breath, because...

^^^^ Yes

I agree whole heartedly with your quoted statement. It was because of the jailer's turmoil that he accepted turning to Christ. If a prisoner escaped from a jail, the jailer and the guards would be killed for not stopping the prisoner's escape. You are right it is described in Matthew...

You are entitled to your opinion, but I have never seen an earthquake in water, but I have seen a tempest cause turmoil in the waves created by the winds and the reflections of the wave that produce standing waves that will sink a boat as it passes a floundering boat between the chop in the...

For those who do not understand Acronyms, here is a reasonable explanation: - JOMO stands for "joy of missing out," the opposite of FOMO (fear of missing out). It's about finding satisfaction in the present moment and enjoying your own choices without feeling pressured to keep up with what...

No, the context in Matthew 5:5 is very different. Perhaps Genesis 15:7: - 7 Then He said to him, "I am the Lord, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land/earth to inherit it.", is more closely connected with Matthew 5:5 In Matthew 5:5 Jesus is qualifying who among...

God is looking for people in the days to come who are inhabiting His fertile field. Where they have sent roots down into His fertile soil to draw nourishment directly from God so that they may live in the knowledge of the Lord their God. My paraphrasing of Genesis 12:3 reads this way: -...

Thanks for confirming that even great scholars who have influenced our understanding of both Hebrew and Greek words have got it wrong as well. Try G:4579.

The secret is to catch us acting disgracefully before we hit the "Post reply" so that it does not get posted at all. The next best thing is to be able to edit your post when you realise that you have posted a disgraceful response before any other members can reply or quote your disgraceful...

No, the disgrace is in how we react to their barbs and words. Sadly, sometimes, I even catch myself acting disgracefully in my responses.

Sorry, the translation of the Greek Root Word "Seismos" as "earthquake" presents the wrong context of what Jesus was speaking about. In every case where G:4753 is found embedded in the Greek Text of the New Testament, its meaning of "turmoil" is more in keeping with the context the NT. I have...

Sounds pretty much like what happens on this forum. Certain members go after the "offending" member in their eyes, they lie about them, they twist the words in their posts can crucify them with their cutting words and put downs. Many members with differing POV from other members get crucified...

Scott that is what the Priests, Scribes and Pharisees did during Christ's first advent.

Could I boldly suggest that a better Paraphrasing of Romans 6:9 would read like this: - Romans 6:9: - Knowing that Christ, having been awoken from being a corpse, will not physically die again. That the {law of the} second death now no longer rules over Him. I believe that the above...

Do these two verses give us a clue? Daniel 7:13-14: - 13 “I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him. 14 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom...

What I am reading in your post is SDA flawed logic. God's promise that He would remove the evil beasts from the earth for a period of time has no bearing on Christ's fulfilment of the Covenantal Promises. God, when he begins drawing the Israelites back to Himself will plant the Israelites in...
