Save "The Great Schism" in 1054 AD, yes :unsure: Thanks!! ~Deuteronomy (David)

Hello Truthnightmare, do you mean prior to His ministry years :unsure: (as those three years in public ministry seem very well-documented, and a journey of about 14,000 miles on foot would have certainly been both noticed and documented). Also, the Lord Jesus told us who He was sent here to...

Hello Mary, I've found that most hear a portion of what I'm saying to them (about the Lord Jesus/the Gospel), and they react to it in various ways, but having someone truly listen to and engage with what I'm saying is rare (sadly). Then again, it took me 30 years and two months to finally...

Hello Awelight, I agree, and what you just said also reminded me of the following verse (which is a favorite of mine, a verse that I've never thought of in reference to John 21:25, but in a sense anyway, it does seem to fit). Deuteronomy 29 29 The secret things belong to the LORD our...

I meant to point out (in my last post) that in the above example, that while God continues to forgive the sins of Christians, that Christians need to continue to confess their sins to Him as well (as the above excerpt from the Westminster Confession of Faith points out). See the second phrase in...

Hello @Chester, et al, the elder Apostle John (who, BTW, includes himself in the "we", "our" and "us" of the following verse) spoke of the Christian's ongoing need to confess our sins whenever we commit them (as ὁμολογέω/confess is in the present tense). 1 John 1 9 If we confess our...

That statement in bold reminds me of something from the JW's Bible (The "New World Translation", that is, in John 1:1), by which I mean it sounds a bit polytheistic. However, God told us things like this, Isaiah 43 10 “You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD...

Hello yet again CorrectiveLens, let's talk about the Father for a second in regard to all of this. You believe that He (the Father) is both omniscient and omnipotent, yes? IOW, there is nothing that He does not know, and nothing that He cannot do, yes? Assuming that your answers to my last two...

Hello again CorrectiveLens, that’s not what I said, exactly (take note of the same words below, particularly the two in bold).

Hello CorrectiveLens, actually, He chose to "empty Himself" or set aside part of His Divine attributes for our sakes (which clearly included His omniscience) when He walked among us as a man .. e.g. Philippians 2:5-8. So, there were some things that He didn't know "then", but this was not true...

Hello again Mem, I liked what you had to say in your original post, even though, as I said, I wasn't sure that I could agree with you about all of it. Proverbs is a VERY interesting Book, isn't it, with a large amount of wisdom that is useful for all of us to know (and practical for us to live...

Hi Mem, I'm not sure that I can agree with you here (about all of it anyway) :unsure: First off, it seems to me that v3 (see below) is meant to be included in this passage (v3-5), and since it tells us how a fool should be answered by us, I think that answering him/her 'properly' is what this...

Yeah, gravity is a wonderment to be sure (if only we knew what causes it :unsure: .. Colossians 1:17 perhaps?). I know that a wet basketball can be dried off by spinning it. The Earth is spinning at an incredibly faster speed than my basketball does, and yet, we're all still here. Why? :geek...

Hey George (@George71), I think that John MacArthur gets to the heart of the matter (what Solomon was actually trying to say to us, that is), and I like what he has to say, so I'll quote his commentary for you here. Proverbs 26:4-5 answer a fool: Taken together, these verses teach the...

Hello Walter, along with what you pointed out, what is said in the following verse (Genesis 1:27) makes it clear that we were created in the image of God, alone. Genesis 1 26 God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of...

Still praying. Any additional news about or prayer requests for Elsie, @Oncefallen? Thanks!
