    The Lord Jesus and His Holy Scriptures are One (The Scripture Personified) Pt. 1 & 2

    yes, it is generally considered public domain internationally. but, if you wish to legally print it in the UK, I believe you have to get permission. http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread106626/pg1 considering that at its height, the British empire covered about 1/4 of the world, that was a...

    you're welcome, and I agree that the subject has spiritual significance as well! yes, and I agree again! but, an important thing that we're doing here: we are not simply reading the Bible word for word. we are looking at other things like the situation in which the words were spoken to help...

    that's correct! I was talking about your idea of the apostle Paul coming back from heaven every now and then to preach in churches. it seems to me that it is God's plan for us, at this time, to have incomplete knowledge. I was posting that verse to show that we currently have incomplete...

    sounds like a good approach! and then, just to be fair, I think we would want asking Christians in heaven to pray with us to be proven to be against the Bible before we condemn it.

    Catholicism vs Protestantism

    I can see that. a lot of Christians like the idea of asking other Christians on Earth to pray with them. going with the idea that Christians on Earth and Christians and heaven are all part of the same body, it doesn't seem like asking Christians in heaven to pray with you would be a big deal...

    well, that would be speaking not hearing, wouldn't it? someone from heaven did already come and speak 66. At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67. Jesus said therefore to the twelve, `You don`t also want to go away, do you?` 68. Simon Peter answered him...

    yes, I understand that the subject has spiritual aspects, and that's why we look to the Bible for guidance. that's why I brought up Christmas. it too has spiritual aspects. I've read that it's basically a Christian version of pagan winter solstice celebrations. so to be fair, I think, if a...

    hi Magenta! are you talking about this passage? 1. For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hatred, man doesn`t know it; all is before them. 2. All things come alike to all. There...

    The Lord Jesus and His Holy Scriptures are One (The Scripture Personified) Pt. 1 & 2

    hi @ChosenbyHim nice to meet you! I'm not much of a video watcher, but, if you'd like to have an edifying, respectful discussion about Bible versions, I'm all in! one thing I learned about the KJV a while back, is that it isn't public domain all over the world. the Queen of England holds the...

    @Jackson123 wrote "How do you know they able to hear you?" I believe there are two equal questions here: how do we know they are able to hear us? how do we know they are not able to hear us? myself, I can't see anything in the Bible that would directly answer either question. right, it looks...

    right, I think the question is if something is against the Bible. ************** this isn't a big deal, but in case you're interested in learning more English, I think dead is an adjective death is a noun pray to the death sounds like people who are pray until they are dead. like gladiators...

    interesting! sounds like you're in the "anti yoga" camp. we can talk about it more, if you like. or, if you've already said what you want to say, then I'll just say, "thanks for the post and peace be with you!"

    you make some interesting points! but again, before we talk about John chapter 3 (or baptism) the Bible says to buy a sword. have you followed that instruction?

    is asking someone in heaven to pray with you against the Bible?

    The absurdity and heresy of Preterism

    I could see that as a possible interpretation. sounds kind of strange, though, because in the context, Jesus is addressing this to the 12. but then again, maybe the gospels sometimes mash sayings of Jesus together. in your view, has this happened yet "Ye shall not have gone over the cities of...

    well, my wonderful brother Jackson, it looks to me like there are two standards going on here. asking saints in heaven to intercede for you is not mentioned in the Bible. and in your mind it has demonic associations. so you say it is wrong. both of those things are also true about yoga. but...

    if you're asking me, I think water baptism is a component of spiritual rebirth, though I could see situations where God would probably make an exception. for example, the Inuit people during winter. fully immerse someone in water then and you could kill them. I think the best way to baptize...

    The absurdity and heresy of Preterism

    fascinating! now I'm wondering, and I'm not even sure what I'm wondering... coming that Jesus talks about in Matthew 10:23, is that the same coming as in Revelation 22:20? (if it matters, it's the same Greek word in both places) not that I'm worried about trying to understand the details of...

    That's correct, I was drawing a parallel. Does the Bible have instructions about yoga?
