I am far from new. I've been in this forum longer than almost anyone, except Robop, at this point. I joined in Jan of 2011. However, I am often not off this forum, because I haven't been well since I had COVID in 2022. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and it makes it difficult to type, among other...

You said: So let's look at the historical facts. 1. "Ukraine was always a part of the Russian empire, and later became a part of the Soviet Union." I reply: "Totally untrue! Ukraine was founded in the 9th century AD by the Varagian (Viking!) Volodymyr. Russia wasn't founded till the 13-14...

Insane! Where did you find this in 1 Cor. 10?? It's not even close. It's pure eiesgesis. So bad and out of context. It's a lie. First. Paul is specifically talking about meat sacrificed to idols. Jews would not eat meat sacrificed to idols. But after the final sacrifice for sin by Jesus on the...

The church I was attending was very regulated by the denomination we belong to, with regards to picking a new pastor. They could only deal with one candidate at a time. So from receiving the resume till the final congregational vote, only one candidate. It was supposed to make it fair. The...

If this abuse is happening to you, you have implied that you are an adult with a job, then you need to break off with your parents. You still need to honour your parents, such as respecting them and helping them when they get sick, or need rides to the doctor's, or visitation if they are in the...

The moon "covers up" the sun! That's literally what an eclipse is. Anyone who thinks this eclipse has anything to do with eschatology, is being sucked in by a combo of astrology, numerology and the Kabbalah. it is a simple, normal, recurring astronomical phenomena that happens at various...

Have you ever studied Biblical Hebrew? I know you have not. It is NEVER possible to exactly translate any language directly into another language, and Hebrew is no exception. I had to compare the KJV to the original Hebrew, and find the places where the translation was not the same. There were...

I don't believe there are many verses that say that speaking in tongues will disappear. Why? Because the people saw it happening, they were living it. They saw tongues save many people, which was its purpose. But, when the last book of the Bible, Revelation, was written in either 70 or 90 AD...

Just to interject some technical terms into this discussion as to this OP. Quite a few people have referenced this, as it seems very obvious to me and others., without actually defining the words. First, let me explain I do know that certain numbers in the Bible have special meaning. Such as 7...

The reasons so many scientists both in the historical past and today were/are Christians is that they believed in an organized and ultimately knowable universe, because they know from the Bible that God created an ordered word, and answers were ultimately discoverable within that order. They...

To which I will counter with Biden & Trudeau. Worst 2 leaders in the histories of our 2 countries. Trudeau has damaged our economy with his incompetence, destroyed the image of our country internally, which has been a country that helps negotiate peacemaking in wars around the planet, into a...

Thanks for your "winner"on my comment about Ukrainian. So many believe Russian propaganda lies. I have nothing against the people. It's been bad for centuries. I've got a lot of second & third cousins there, probably from when they or their parents/grandparents were shipped to Siberia for no...

This is NOT a source! This is a Twitter account posting a lie! Nothing to back it up! Not a News article, credible journal or even stolen papers. Half of the stuff on Twitter is lies! And the Ukraine is going to continue defending itself against the evil Putin and his disgusting attempt to...

In fact, nice job of highlighting all those extra words which do not appear in the earliest and best manuscripts. The KJV has so much conflated and added text, and you just showed me what a very poor text it is to study. I could show you a few more, like the Longer ending of Mark, parts of John...

Wrong again!! Prostitution has existed since ancient times. There was even cult prostitution to the various gods in the ÂNE. "Prostitution is the business or practice of engaging in sexual activity in exchange for payment.[1][2] The definition of "sexual activity" varies, and is often defined...

Are you really that clueless? I was going to ask your source, then you put ChatGPT! Hilarious!! You think it is a data base? It is an AI. Artificial intelligence. It makes up whatever you want it to say. In my Biblical Languages group someone told it to write an original Bible story, using only...

The Book of Esther does not mention God at all. That doesn't mean we should add a bunch of words to make it say God, or any other name. Books of the Bible were written certain ways to communicate from God to us. God was totally in control of that process. If God wanted to add words or names, it...

"When the Lord began to speak through Hosea, the Lord said to him, “Go, marry a promiscuous woman and have children with her, for like an adulterous wife this land is guilty of unfaithfulness to the Lord.” 3 So he married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son." Hosea...
