- 115) 1Cor 12:24-27 . . God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no schism in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each3 other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is...

- Of Babes And Bears ● 2Kgs 2:23-24 . . And [Elisha] went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and...

- Probably nothing has earned Christianity as much shame and ridicule as the Good Friday tradition. With a little creative sophistry, and a stretch of the imagination, it's possible to squeeze three days into the tradition; but no amount of stretching and squeezing can account for three nights...

- Ecclesiastes 1:12-16 Continuing from post #5 ● Ecc 1:12-13a . . I, Koheleth, was king in Jerusalem over Israel. I set my mind to study and to probe with wisdom all that happens under the sun. The phrase "all that happens under the sun" is limited to exactly that. Ecclesiastes is an...

- Very impressive. Unfortunately that paragraph probably makes about as much sense to the average person as one of Picasso's convoluted paintings. ● Matt 11:25-26 . . Jesus said: I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned...

- The "void" thing is restricted to God's word (Isa 55:11). I do not believe that Ecclesiastes is God's word; no, I am fully convinced that it is Solomon's. In my opinion it is a grave error to spiritualize Ecclesiastes; I truly feel that it is best to interpret Solomon's world view from the...

- Genesis 5:28-32 ● Gen 5:28-29 . .When Lamech had lived 182 years, he begot a son. And he named him Noah, saying: This one will provide us relief from our work and from the toil of our hands, out of the very soil which the Lord placed under a curse. The word for "Noah" is from nuwach...

- A preponderance of textual evidence indicates that Christ revived sometime during the third day rather after all three days were completely over and done with. Matt 17:22-23 Mark 9:31 Luke 9:22 Luke 24:46 Acts 10:40 1Cor 15:4 /

- Biblical days are somewhat ambiguous. For example according to Gen 1:4-5, God decreed that night and day be kept distinctly separate and be called by their own names in order to clearly distinguish between the two conditions. And according to Gen 1:14-18, He decreed that day is when the sun...

- Ecclesiastes 1:9-11 ● Ecc 1:9 . . Only that shall happen which has happened, only that occur which has occurred; there is nothing new beneath the sun! Solomon noticed that nature has yet to reinvent itself; and yet to break it's own habits. The tide always comes in, and it always goes out...

- 114) 1Cor 11:33-34 . . My brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for each other. If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment. The command doesn't frown upon things like church banquets, men's' breakfasts, ladies' luncheons...

- Genesis 5:9-27 ● Gen 5:9 . .When Enosh had lived 90 years, he begot Kenan. Kenan's name in the Hebrew is Qeynan (kay-nawn') which means fixed or permanent; sort of like birds' nests, homes; and drifters finally ending their nomadic life and putting down some roots. Fixed can also mean that...

- Ecclesiastes 1:1-8 Continuing from post #2 ● Ecc 1:4 . . One generation goes, another comes, but the earth remains the same forever. Solomon didn't intend for anyone to take his comment to mean that the earth is eternal. No, within context, he only meant that the earth outlasts everybody...

- 113) 1Cor 11:27-30 . .Whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without...

- Ecclesiastes 1:1-3 ● Ecc 1:1 . .The words of Koheleth son of David, king in Jerusalem. Koheleth is apparently a transliteration rather than a translation. The Hebrew word is qoheleth (ko-heh'-leth) which means: an assembly gatherer (i.e. a lecturer). A qoheleth assembler isn't a mechanic on...

- Hello; and welcome to a journey thru the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes. Afterlife opponents often quote the book of Ecclesiastes; which is a fatal error because proof texts related to the afterlife drawn from this book of are inadmissible; and the reason is very simple. Ecclesiastes...

- Genesis 5:1-8 ● Gen 5:1a . .This is the record of Adam's line. I suspect that Adam's genealogy would be better defined as "a" record rather than "the" record because the Bible's version isn't exhaustive. Adam's genealogy includes every natural-born human being who ever lived and/or will...

- 111) 1Cor 11:6b . . If it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head. Okay then: if Christian women would be somewhat embarrassed to show up in church looking like a man and/or LGBT, then then they have only one other option; and that's to show up...

- The law of faith can be defined as a spiritual code that relies upon God's promises rather than upon compliance with His rules and regulations. For example: ● Gen 15:4-6 . .Then the word of The Lord came to him: This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your...

- Genesis 4:23-26 Continuing from Post #71 ● Gen 4:23-24 . . And Lamech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice! O wives of Lamech, give ear to my speech! I have slain a man for wounding me, and a lad for bruising me. If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold. Brag...
