Benoni (Son of Trouble), It appears that you are unfamiliar with Greek syntax and grammar. A good starting place would be to take a Greek course on line or at a local Christian college. I would be glad to help out. Or please translate the following and note the tense, voice, mood, person, and...

Benoni, Sin is of course doing other than the will of God (or have I got that wrong too?) You say that when Adam sinned He was doing God's will, the only thing he could do, and ultimately the right thing. let me ask you this. this questiion, is called a falseifiability challenge. What would it...

BENONI, It appears that in Genesis when God instructed Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of GOOD and EVIL He did not really mean what He said, in your way of looking at that. The trouble or problem for you then would be explaining why the action of ADAM is called a SIN as we find...

Is it your argument that Adam and Eve in the Garden had no choice but to sin? Samy

It seems to me that when we pray, "Thy kingdom come," and then pray, "Thy will be done" the second phrase is a prayer and a definition for the realization of the first phrase (epexegetical). "I pray Lord that your rule shall become effective in me as in every obedient heavenly creature." The...

In my reading of the book I understand that the Lord Jesus is speaking to John, to speak to all His churches about His coming in the day of the Lord www.expressright.com/day.aspx I do not "spiritualize" the passages of this book, I honor the various means of communication employed by God. The...

Benoni, and others, Just an opinion about freewill and choice. Jesus said in John 16:8 that He would "convict the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment." This of course would be necessary for anyone to make a decision to believe in Christ. This in fact is the "dragging" part of...

Butch5, When Christina was pointing to separation of the spirit from God and you asked for a reference, might we have gone to Rev. 20:11-15 as an example? It is ultimate separation and is called the second death. samy

Stumpmaster, Your goals appear to be specific and worth while. I would simply suggest that it might be a growing experience to make part of your daily walk with the Lord Jesus the specific pursuit of the knowledge of God. I don't mean to say anything like "you don't know God," or, "you aren't in...

ZakarEl--I would like to know the manuscript evidence for this "original Aramic" version. and the date and place of the find if you know it. Please reply with researchable standard referance notations usually found in the apparatus. samy ::)

I have found that the closer I get to closing my eyes for the very last time here, I am growing at an incredible rate in the knowledg and wisdom of God. I so love the fact of the presence of the Holy Spirit in my life and prefer Him and the things He says. As I walk in His light I am gently but...

To All I believe that we should all be sensitive to the place of the altar in relationship to the actions taken by God in response to the prayers of the saints and the misdeeds of his enemies on earth. Notice that it is from the altar where the prayers of the saints are first offered to God with...

Thank you Christina. It's nice to still be alive.

My Friends, I have written before, but not since about June. I will occassionally throw in my opinion again here and there. In this Relvelation discussion may I first simply observe that the subject of the book of Revelation is the promised coming of the Lord Jesus, Rev. 1:1, and the theme is...

It is somewhat unlikely and unexpected to find a feminine noun describing Satan. samy

My friends, please notice, 15́ Οταν οὐ̂ν ἴδητε τὸ βδέλυγμα της ἐρημώσεως τὸ ρηθὲν διὰ Δανιὴλ του προφήτου..." ἐρημώσεως is a noun feminine singular genitive, of destruction or of desolation, from the noun eramosis. Mounce, page 215. samy

Kriss wrote "Walk as used in 1 peter 5 above means to follow a path as in we walk in the way of Christ..." But the walk of Christ still involved actual movement or behavior that modeled something. The word walk always seems to be alluding to behavior or a type off movement. Christ's behavior was...

Thank you to thesuperjag. samy

I can speculate, and that is all it will be, with some scriptural qualification. It appears that beginning in chapter 19 of Revelation we see in this section of Revelation what I would title in an outline of the book, The Judgement of Authorities. We see first the great harlot 19:2, then the...

kriss, let me see if I understand rightly, or if I'm just a half asleep old man. Do you agree that the end time Abomination of Desolation is an abomination committed against saints, the body of Christ, the Temple? samy
