    Is "Epistle" a Correct Translation?

    Means both "letter" and "formal letter" in Koine Greek. While today one can look up the word "epistle" in a modern dictionary and find that it refers to a formal letter of special importance, in the First Century world of Paul and other authors of the New Testament, the Greek "epistole"...

    Who Are "The Common People"?

    What is translated in most versions of the New Testament as "common people", means "crowd" in Greek. However, the vast majority of the "crowd" who followed Jesus around were most likely regular average people, rather than the elite of society. The religious leaders often hung nearby because...

    What is Church?

    The Greek "ekklesia", mistranslated as 'church' in modern bibles, means "assembly" or "called out ones" for a specific purpose. This was a term applied to a Greek political assembly and appears to have been deliberately chosen by Jesus himself. In the New Testament, this term always refers to...

    Is Christianity in the Bible?

    CHRISTIAN: Paul never once refers to himself as a 'christian', while at least five times in the New Testament he refers to himself as a follower of "the way". The way was considered to be a revolutionary new way of life, centered on the true communism of sharing all things in common and...

    What is Salvation?

    Paul opens and closes every letter attributed to him with "grace" to you followed often by "mercy" and/or "peace", always listing grace first. He also says that Jesus gives us more grace and, we grow from grace to grace (more free, bigger and better understanding). Unlike many Christians teach...

    What Does "Christ" Mean?

    Greek "christos" means "anointed" or "the anointed one". In Hebrew, "mashiach" means the same thing, which is translated as "Messiah" into English. Most English bibles leave this untranslated as "Christ", which is based on the Greek for Messiah. Whether we say Jesus Christ or Jesus Messiah is...

    [can't discuss in non-Christian forum] If someone goes from being atheist to being agnostic, is that progress? (remember?)

    Hi there, So I can't discuss this in the non-Christian forum, because I am Christian - but I am really curious? If you were dead in your sins and denied there was a 'god', but the Holy Spirit started to work with you, and you started to think "it would be better if I didn't make up my mind or...

    Vision: Revelation

    Vision: Revelation I was praying out back this morning when I saw a vision. In this vision I was standing on a beach at night. There was a line of orange and red sky beginning to peek out across the water line when I heard a word from the lord that said, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy...

    You Killed the Author of Life, But God Offers You Mercy

    Acts 3:12–26 – A Message Our Generation Still Needs to Hear Peter’s bold words in Acts 3 cut through all the religious noise of his day, and they still do. He didn’t flatter the crowd. He didn’t excuse their ignorance. He stood up, filled with the Spirit, and told the truth: “You killed the...

    What is GRACE?

    Excellent 'link' = What Is Grace? (Two Minutes With The Bible) Precious friends, the following is just a small portion of God's Wonderful Grace Doctrine: A) Generally, across all of God's Dispensations, we find: God's "Unmerited Favor" Upon All mankind, both the just and also the unjust...

    You can't leave (Earth) until everything you have earned has been claimed - in essence: Jesus ensures that we give up the world (rich?)

    Hi there, So there is a simple proverb which comes to me every so often, which is this: What does this mean? It means everything we do from beginning to end, has to be weighed, set apart and valued. Everything we have done has been recorded in a book (see Revelation), so it is entirely possible...

    What to do with all these illegal aliens?

    God just blessed America in a big way! Praise God! Change is coming and we will start moving in the right direction. But what will we do with all these illegal aliens? Many of them are children who have nothing and need help. It's not their fault. Certainly Trump cannot deport 5k/day for four...

    Can God not save souls, before, during and after the Tribulation?

    Hi there! Just a simple thought for you: can God not save souls, before, during and after the Tribulation? My reasoning is simple, God did not create Creation, just to destroy it (but to transition it, from unbelief to faith); therefore, there will be times when Creation experiences...

    As a rule, "partially right, most of the time" is moral.

    Hi there, So I wanted to present a model for morality that is different from utilitarianism and deontology. That model is simply: Gottservant said: Essentially, it builds on an experience of trying to be moral. It does not need specific instructions or specific consequences, but adapts...

    GRACE ... is more than unmerited favor!

    "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Eph. 3:8-9 I was taught that Grace was God's "unmerited favor" towards mankind. But it is much more than that! Grace is the core theme of the New...

    Vain jangling, turning aside, And swerving from?

    Precious friend(s), Please Be exhorted to "Consider what I [Paul] say and The [Gracious] LORD Give thee understanding..." (2 Timothy 2:7): [“...Charity [Love!] out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and faith unfeigned:…" (v. 5)] 1Ti 1:6 "...From which some having swerved have turned...

    Prayer request

    Please could people pray for our family. They're not believers, or saved. Our old lifestyles/personalities wrecked any chance of good witnessing. Also pray that The Lord has mercy on us, for this. Thankyou

    Does God just give you what you ask for?

    In Matthew 7:7-8 you see Jesus say to his disciples to seek, ask and knock. If You ask do you really receive what you ask for? What are your own thoughts on the subject? The video above is about 20 minutes addressing this question by and through using scripture.
