I am no expert in Greek, but sometimes it can be helpful to see the meaning in translation and other places the same word is used. Moderation, as used in that verse as per Strong's: ejpieikhvß Epieikes (ep-ee-i-kace'); Word Origin: Greek, Adjective, Strong #: 1933 seemingly, suitable...

"And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day." Gen 1:31 "Very good" is the way God made it "everything". That included people, Adam and Eve! But with people God gave them another option, one that men chose to their...

@rockytopva Bummer lambs? Something like lepers? "Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead: Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not...

Amen! They [scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites] would not 'suffer' them to enter in, while Jesus 'suffered' them in their ignorance and/or neglect to seek the Way to enter in... Some people today are like that... more concerned with being right themselves than in considering or helping or praying...

We've been in a severe ice storm for the past couple of days. A while ago I drove out on an errand and the whole of the city was a mess with limbs and branches covering every yard. Those which had fallen in the streets has apparently already been pulled to the side to allow traffic to pass. It...

When I am tired, especially in the evening or even early in the morning before spending time with the Lord, or anytime when I have allowed my flesh to come to the fore, snapping and such occurs needlessly. I may even speak to my wife with the right words, but after 48 years she knows when the...

The emboldened words of Jesus could easily be rendered in anger or impatience... in expressing the state of mind or heart of an experienced adult to inexperienced adults or children, but Jesus loved them and physically... they were not children. What tone of voice would we use with our small...

Aye... the TV and computer programming these days is flooded with them. Zombies paying heed to zombies. I remember as a child liking to watch the relatively few horror films of those days even before we had a TV set. I did not know much about God then... I would guess that that was because I...

What a mighty God we serve!

Unfortunately people as a whole and as individuals have not changed. Remember how many "miracles" kept the natural children of Jacob alive in the wilderness. Food, water, clothing lasting for 40 years. In spite of what they saw, what they experienced, only Joshua and Caleb were allowed to enter...

Unfortunately too many it appears to me are more concerned with winning a doctrinal debate than in sharing and learning what God may offer to each of us through others here. Having been too often in the same place to be pointing my fingers at individuals. We really cannot usually make ourselves...

Some of those there spoke of his love for that man Lazarus who had died and this was so, but Jesus loved many more than Lazarus alone. He loved everyone, but while many had listened to the words of Jesus, from among them only few would come closer and really embrace God. As it reads in another...

Change our point of focus? Remember Peter looking first at the face of Jesus as he stepped out on the water walking? Then he changed his focus to the wrong things... looking down at the dangerous water beneath in concern and worry and he began to sink. We know the filthy waters of sin and death...

Only two words here [tones?] "Jesus wept." John11:35 Without using computer sources or paper Bibles or any other written or spoken references who can say why Jesus wept? Is there more than one correct answer?

And the Truth is...? "Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all." John 18:18 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6

Hmmm? I wonder how many of us are already fully compliant with the three verses below? "Pray without ceasing." I Thess 5:17 "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" Phil 4:4 "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem...

Are people ever mis-labeled? What is on the inside? What is showing on the outside?

I would say it depends very much upon the antecedent of "you"!

Engedi is a town located on the shore of the Dead Sea according to a map I consulted. However I did not pursue it further so you could be correct as the Mediterranean was known as the "great sea".

"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." Matt 12:36-37 Is silence ever golden? "And he answered him to never a word; insomuch...
