    Bible Scripture Studies

    It's all about trying to teach truth by and through the Spirit, there are times where I can say something off the wall for some, but no one ever has to believe me as I can always be wrong about anything. My encouragement is for people to pray and seek after God, and read the Bible, and...

    Any thoughts on this? No exploding heads please.

    The reason why it is better is because it is much closer to what the original text is conveying. There are many different translations, and that is okay in my opinion. There translations that are more word-for-word, then you have thought-for-thought, then you have the paraphrased type. From my...

    Just Be Ready, or Watch?

    The only thing to be ready and accepting of is death, in my humble opinion. Then one goes on, judged, giving their reward - be it a corrupted heavenly body that lives outside the kingdom of God, or the eternal life heavenly body, that goes onward into the Kingdom of the Heavenly Jerusalem where...

    There is nothing wrong with exploring with what other people may before us have said. I may not even agree with all that John Gill says, was just sharing it, he does have some good commentary in my opinion, but that doesn't mean people have to believe anything the man says dear friend, @David in NJ.

    Favorite animal?

    It’s like they have memories and trauma that affects their character. Of course a whole lot of love could change it around. There some people that train their dogs to fight and go dog fighting. Or chickens to chicken fight. Vicious is the darkness.

    Prayer Request

    That is good to know you are doing better. What is an MRI? Is that where they scan your leg and take photos? I am 32 in 24 days this month. Do you think the orthopedics will be able to remove that cyst? Do you know what causes it? Just looking at some picture I could imagine that it does hurt...

    This video was created a year ago. It is a study about how Christian’s are suppose to deal with difficult people. I myself can be a difficult person; but there is a way in my best estimation in Christ and learning from Paul’s teaching in how to deal with these situations as they come about...

    The snake in the hand of God

    That is interesting Ziggy, A thought that comes to my head is what the serpent on the cross symbolic for the enemies head to become crushed by Jesus? Considering Jesus overcame sin ( living in the world and tempted ) in which the holy spirt and the Word of God with in the hut or body of Jesus...

    Promises from God

    Hello @Mark To add to your message I would add 2 Corinthians 5. A great message for those to understand that one day this body will be done away with. All the groaning will stop one day; when going on to the heavenly realm. May the God of peace be with you and all. :)

    Just to share my perspective when it comes to those giants and the sons of God it would be human beings. While Satan could manipulate things it seems that his demons also could cause havoc on people; when he was in control of the world. I don’t think that heavenly angels could come down and...
