Here again is the most quoted verse in this thread (so far), with an extra verse added on to the end :)

Hello again Jordon, well, I guess that it would depend on several factors, but typically, no. One of the ways that I try to live my life is in accord with this common saying, if something is worth doing, it's worth doing right (which also means that it's worth taking the time that I need to get...

Hello @theguy & @Tee5809, welcome (to you both) to CChat! I'm glad that you found us and joined in the discussions with us, and I look forward to talking with you further out on the other boards :) God bless you!! ~Deuteronomy (David) 1 Thessalonians 5 23 May the God of peace...

Hello @Jordon, you asked, does my guilt ever convict me? Yes, but never more profoundly so than it did just prior to my coming to saving faith in the Lord Jesus. I, in fact, had an experience (a little over 40 years ago now) that some refer to as, the dark night of the soul, and the weight of...

Hello @Templar62, first off, since I see that you are a new member here, welcome to CChat. Far more importantly though, welcome to the family of God :giggle: As far as Bible translations are concerned, we are blessed to have many available to us these days, and I typically use a number of...

Hello @helloyes, the error that Eve made in Genesis 3:3 was telling Satan that God forbid them from eating ~or touching~ the fruit from the tree in the middle of the Garden, as both trees, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil AND the tree of life, were found there (in the middle or midst...

Hello rmcgu, meeting with a small group of believers in a home or office, or at church (perhaps on a weeknight) to fellowship regularly with one another, and to have a Bible study of some sort as the small group's focus is a great way to get people interested (prayer and taking prayer requests...

Hello 2ndTImeIsTheCharm, I agree with you, as I think that knowing that a person like Judas existed does make it easier to believe that there are others like him (to one degree or another) living among us now as believers in the visible church (many of whom sadly, but in all likelihood...

Interesting! The Septuagint is a Greek translation of the OT, yes? I know little about it beyond that (other than it's traditionally believed that the Lord used the Septuagint when He walked among us, though I have no idea whether or not that's true). Just to be clear, I posted the end of Job...

Hmm, I'm not sure what happened to the formatting toward to bottom of my last post (where I quoted your question, "Why did Judas want to sell the oil?"), but if you click on "Click to expand..." at the bottom it will open up the rest of my post so that you can read it. Sorry about that...

Hello rmcgu, I'm sure that God could and would have forgiven Judas if he had truly repented and sought to be redeemed, forgiven and saved by the Lord Jesus, but he did not. Sadly (for him), yes, because he made a REALLY BAD one:oops: Go "to his own place" (Acts 1:25b), stated less...

Hello @paul12, that is quite an amazing story, PTL :) Thank you for sharing it with us! I would also like to say, welcome to CChat, and also that I hope you find it safe enough to post regularly here going forward (though we would all understand if/when you cannot, anonymity and personal safety...

Hello tttallison, I'm not sure if this will be useful to you, but the Septuagint (not sure if it is from one, some or all of the codices) added a bit about Job's genealogy at the end of Chapter 42. Here it is, Job 42:10 onward, that is, translated from the Septuagint: Job 42 10 And the Lord...

The Lord Jesus (before the Incarnation) is typically referred to as "preincarnate", just FYI. ~Deuteronomy John 1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came...

Hello @Spiritwalker, I agree with @tourist about this, and I believe, as well, that many/most of the Theophanies that we find in the OT could also be referred to as preincarnate Christophanies (e.g. It seems likely that everything that happened on top of Mt. Sinai, including the writing of the...

Hello Brasspen, my work has taken me into almost every kind of Christian church and Jewish temple in existence today, but I've never heard the term "confession stand" before, nor was I able to get anything to pop-up about via either a basic or an Ai search. Perhaps you could point us to an...

Hello Tablet123, I agree with most of what you said in your post, especially the important points that you made in your last 5 sentences :) I thought that the above may be worth talking about however, especially because I believe that Enoch and Elijah (neither of whom died) were assumed...

Hopefully not! Hello again @Agilberti, et al, here are but a few of the shorter articles concerning the first occurrence of the Gospel in the Bible (found in Genesis 3:15). ~Why is Genesis 3:15 considered the "Protoevangelium" or first gospel? ~The Proto-Evangelium | Reformed Bible Studies &...

Whoops, I forgot to add this quote above, so I'll add it here instead. ~Deuteronomy
