Ever suffered hardship Billy the Kid?
I have given all my dictionaries and lexicons, commentaries, Hebrew and Greek Bibles, even my guitar to a "Underground Church" of the which I will not elaborate.
I wish you were here to see the appreciation from these saints, now them I will truly call hagioi, or kedoshim.
You do yourself a disservice for not being interested in the morphology of the text, not the meanings of words per se, but the Syntax and Morphologies.
A gift, a dorean, from me to you..
1,050 New Testament Commands
There are 1,050 commands in the New Testament for Christians to obey. Due to repetitions
we can classify them under about 800 headings. They cover every phase of man's life in his
relationship to God and his fellowmen, now and hereafter. If obeyed, they will bring rich
rewards here and forever; if disobeyed, they will bring condemnation and eternal punishment.
