Or what you love.

My purpose is to bring a bit of structure to my study. My calling is the love of the word of God and to equip myself for every good work - to share with others, all who may be interested here, sure, but even more for those who I meet as I go about life. A few individuals with little...

1. Biblical theology is different than systematic and historical theology. Yes, my purpose in beginning this study is practice - like a football player doing tackle drills, ie, working on fundamentals. As I read the link Dave L posted, I realized that most of I want to do is listed there...

It You are correct; thanks for the link.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and...

The They don't. But have it your way, I am un-Christlike, I guess, with my use of irony/sarcasm. I can suggest some passages of scripture you may want to cross out of your bible for the use of it there. The whole account of Elijah and the priests of Baal would be a start.

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us-- for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE "-- (Gal 3:13 NASB) Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his...

Ask Dagon if he is real. Oh, I forgot. He can't speak. Couldn't even before he lost his head over the ark. Ask Baal. No, he can't seem to speak, either, judging by what he had to say to Elijah. Nothing. Find one who speaks and ask him.

Or until I realize this site is all but empty. Farewell.

I have decided to begin a study of theological topics. I once began reading a couple books presenting a systematic theology, but found them too scholarly and too dry to hold my interest. I'm no biblical scholar, though one who loves to rea and loves the bible (and the Lord) can't help but...

As someone rightly pointed out. many Jews did believe. And as someone else mentioned, the first believers were Jewish - in some cases non-Hebrews who had converted to Judaism previously and were circumcised, then became baptized. Those believers did not think they were founding a new...

Did someone say coffee? I love my coffee, almost as much as my wife. Does, that is. Which means she loves her coffee more than her husband. Does, that is. What coffee brand inspires such devotion? Well, the cheapest four-or-five-pound can from WalMart, which was once "MasterChef" but was...

I was once an RN, and have worked in Nursing Homes. The pay for NH RNs is deplorable, too. Which meant in my case, by far most of my work was in large hospitals. There are very good nurses, very bad nurses, and most lie somewhere between. In a hospital setting, seven or eight patients keep a...

Well, yes, I do enjoy writing, and whether or not it is prose - personally, I think I hit upon a nice phrase now and then - it is my intention to continue to drop in here until a Mod or someone else wielding great power and influence in the world decides that my format doesn't really fit the...

Come Judgment Day by HWatts Hands to the plow and don't look back,; ask Lot's wife what she thinks about that. Rowing down the Jordan is no way to flee. for that holy river never finds open sea. Nineveh awaits, so hit the right tack; ask old Jonah what he thinks about that. Direct our...

Well, now I'm embarrassed. And not because of the prison thing - that falls under shame but it doesn't embarrass me. What does is that, due to my blurry old vision I had originally thought this sub-forum was titled "Christian Prose and Poetry" and so I began this thread to write stories and...

Practical Utility by HWatts More than four decades ago I was jailed for six months behind a drug possession plea agreement; 'behind' is what the other prisoners called it, so I did as well, reaching for some street cred, “Oh, my incarceration is six months behind a controlled substance...

Due to my illness, I'm pretty weak. Oh, how the mighty have fallen; I used to be almost freakishly strong, and a working mosheen. When I was fifteen years of age, daddy took me to our church to do some work in the parking lot. For many years a large oak tree had shaded a large portion of...

Troll. No, thank you.

Last night, I didn't get to sleep at all. No. No... I finally broke down and succumbed to adding a few new bibles and reference "books" to my e-Sword software. Mainly so I can set my own font sizes. So I paid the premium download fee - premium meaning fee because the ones and zeros are not...
