    The parable of the sower.

    Nope... Our soul. You have a mind, spirit, and body. All three make up a soul...nepesh....as in "the soul who sins dies"

    The parable of the sower.

    Exactly and precisely. The road is not wide and with a ton of fanfare. It's quiet, hidden, and known only to a few. Nobody trumpets the narrow path and narrow gate. NOBODY. So.... The question ALWAYS is: What kind of soil do you wish to be? Can a leopard change it's spots? A tiger its...

    The parable of the sower.

    Parable of the soils... It's all about what the soils do with the seed....not about the sower or the seed itself.

    The rapture is close?

    Correct.... "In the name of God" is what it actually says....if you are gonna translate don't do it half way...go all out. And it's a blending of two languages and adding a third to do this.

    The rapture is close?

    It's kinda common....more common than you would think. People go through a business failure and bankruptcy usually want to move drastically across the nation afterwards. Same thing can happen after or during a divorce. Or after the death of a close, personal loved one..... It's a form...

    The rapture is close?

    Might be headed for some tough stuff in the near future. Groceries are rather inexpensive...when shipping by container they usually go in leftover spaces. Say a factory reserves 30ea 40 ft containers and pays for it by contract every month....but this month only uses 20....the extra ten are...

    The rapture is close?

    That's escapist theology.... There is no scriptures that teach that....in fact just the opposite. First comes judgement then comes blessing. The bigger the blessing the bigger the suffering you must first receive. And the blessings are usually slow....very very slow. Painstaking slow...

    For Singles Looking to Get Married, How are You Preparing Yourselves?

    The majority of adult singles I used to hang around....sure....most of them were taking classes, working on some ability, practicing a skill, and all involved in some sort of altruistic endeavor on some level. But.... Still missed the most important part of just being kind, generous and...

    Modern Relationships and Lindsey Clancy Case. 3 Children Strangled. Overwhelming Support From Females and Male Backlash.

    Was there reasonable doubt? YES Why did the Defense lawyer point at the husband's inconsistencies in the courtroom but yet defend him in the press? Because the Husband retained her lawyer with a couple hundred dollars whether Redington wanted to be later on or not. (Likely not). A lawyer is...

    Bible Software

    However, ChatGPT is only going to give you the most populist answer possible. Where this matters is that MOST people have a unique theology that is not aligned with the populist theologies. As well as populist theologies are not congruent with themselves either. (They don't fit together)...

    Fair enough. But I've also given verses to point out that the Holy Spirit is distinct....
