Hey Rough Soul, how are you doing? I think your posts are really interesting by the way... Strange how in just fifty or sixty years, the “languages have been confused” like Babylon isn't it? Even the word “democracy” and “logic” have been twisted. People will justify Atheism by their “own”...

I agree Jordan Peterson has a lot of information yes. And indeed there is often a real "Golden Nugget" of truth found in listening to certain people. You can read a whole book or hear a whole speech from someone, and there is "one truth" that is the reason you were led to read it or hear it as...

Sure thing Dan, I see where you are coming from. Maybe its better not to see any "Church" as a material building people go to. I see it as people who form the "body" of the "church which was built with Jesus Christ as the foundation. So not strangers and foreigners from "different named places"...

Not commenting on Elijah or that post, but when you say its strange some people notice other people don't, of course they do? For instance, Romeo and Juliet. You can study Shakespeare all your life and have a degree in English Literature and still not know the meaning of Shakespeare's message...

Thanks CharliRenee, I don't really know a lot about anything, but I do picture this guy Baalam, I somehow have an image in my mind of what he was like. I sort of think in pictures sometimes and I can almost view this guy walking around in his fancy cloaks and turbans and getting a reputation for...

Sure thing Dan. Jesus probably had many more things written down but we can not read them all! For now we have the Testimony and the Gospels and if we are misled, like sheep, we KNOW HIS VOICE. As how can we read all the books that even the World could not contain! It says so here! "And...

Are you saying that you do not know what the teaching of the Apostles was? Well obviously I am referring to the Gospels and the NT but we could go all day about what other documents contain but in "context" these "documents" shouldn't differ should they? That was my point which is why I asked...

Hi Grandpa! Yes that is interesting. It is interesting how the first oracle or prophecy did not turn out to be true anyhow, as Baalam says “Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his...

Hey CharliRenee! I love that story! The story of Balaam in Numbers is so interesting as the more you read it, the more questions you ask. I write down all my questions when I study but the list is too long on this story! Not only the question of the donkey having perfect intelligent reasoning...

Exactly. How can anyone know until it happens? There are many previous posts on Lazarus from those who know more than I do. I would be interested to know what others think as well who haven't replied to the previous posts as you do Nebuchadnezzar! Previous posts on this are on the bottom link...

I have replied to this in post #790

They can do what they like, but where does it say for Catholics to ask their Christian brothers and sisters in heaven to pray with them and for them? This word “Mediator” is used in the New Testament and is one who acts as a medium of communication between two contracting parties. In this sense...

Hey Dan, Well I think I already replied to that, as someone else quoted your question in another post but anyhow. We were talking about how my post reminded you of a quote from the Gospel of Thomas and I asked you why as my post referred to nothing about the Gospel of Thomas but was about why...

Well how you doing Nebuchadnezzer! Easy name to remember (lived like a Beast!) Thanks for the comments and glad you found it informative. I think the story of Wycliffe is fascinating. I wasn't writing it to bash the Catholic Church by the way - it is written all over the English History pages...

I don't think you offended anyone, not me anyhow. Its just people get all hot under the collar about interpretations of Scripture and the Gospel or even doublespeak as much as they do the Law (that's a real food fight too). But it is no more than that. I think everyone at some time just has...

Yes I agree - many who choose Jesus Christ as their Lord in many folds - as Jesus has many sheep and many folds. His sheep hear his voice wherever they are because they know his voice.

Bible translations may appear to be a harmless activity. History shows it is anything but. Especially in England. I do not just love English old Bibles because I am English either. Most know the story of Tyndale, or the King James Bible (or not) but many do not know of the Beloved English...

This is true what you say, but I am sure our Lord Jesus would not have omitted such an important thing as asking his mother first. Otherwise why didnt he say "Seek and ye shall find, ask and the door will be opened to you - oh and don't forget, ask my Mother or any Saint first".? I am sure he...

The word "Meek" is a good example to show how words have lost their true meaning from the beginning and now have different meanings in "pop culture". The word "Meek" most people will say means "weak and timid". They picture someone rather pathetic and helpless or lacking in strength, cowering in...

That is a great image. There seems to be so much truth in the saying "If a picture speaks a thousand words, then a symbol speaks a thousand pictures". This one surely does it rightly.
