I read his book, the unseen realm a few years back. It was informative, especially his take on the ancient worldview. And how we approach the text without considering what the patriarchs, must have thought when looking up into the sky and how they viewed gods. Thanks, I'll relook at it again. I...

Good for you.

You welcome. I'll ask if I can do a summarized share, as it's part of a more detailed paper he is writing for his degree.

Hi Xeno:wave: Letters in antiquity were quite important and delivered by trusted individuals, usually the amenuensis. Because of the importance of letters to the churches, the person delivering them could easily respond to information not necessarily written down, and corroborate or supplement...

Hi 2Philo:wave: Yes you have and I finally decided to have a look at the book you mentioned. Although I only read the preface, I can already see that the results complement the work a friend of mine was doing, which I had the privilege of reading. He did a socio- rhetorical analysis of the...

:wave: Also Joshua's prophecy came true in 1Kings 16:34. In Ahab’s time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the LORD spoken by Joshua son...

Hi Paleouss:wave: Thank you for your kind response. Yes, I had a great start. Hope you having a good one too. The context of Galatians as an isolated letter, is delivererd to its original audience within a specific context. Paul's gripe appears to be with those who are being persuaded to be...

Hi there I believe the scripture relays that everyone has a general revelation of God, as creation itself is a witness that God exists. Psalm 19:1-4 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they...

Hey there Paleouss:wave: I thought I'd add to your post. I agree, it's the Galations turning from the understanding that the blessing of God is received by faith and not by the works of the law. Paul is livid with the Galatians and understandably so, they didnt receive the Spirit of God by...

Hey there :wave: I agree there are times when God appears to be sarcastic in His response. I just don't think it was this time. It would of been rather callous if He was. Job had just gone through the most. Extreme suffering, loss and disappointment, his sanity questioned by those who regarded...

Hi there friend of :wave: John's purpose for writing is in John 20:30-31. He could of written many more things and this chronologically, but he is selective in his writings. This is to emphasize certain miracles/signs. Demonstrating to his audience that He (Jesus) is God. When reading the...

Hi there :wave: Sometimes moral perspectives are not necessarily governed by biblical interpretation of scripture. But by the society you find yourself in and the experience of being within that society. For example there was a time when children were to be seen but not heard. All kind of...

It depends on who you ask.

:wave: It was well worth the read, I enjoyed the testimonials. God is indeed the sustainer of the call.

Glad you are feeling better:hug:

Hi Diamond7 :wave: Hope it is well with you today. I merely wanted to understand what you were trying to say. No desire whatsoever to falsely accuse anybody. So let me rephrase. In your opinion Are only childbearing women saved and no longer under a curse when they give birth?. So no hope...

Hey Aaron112:wave: Yes, it is always better. For me personally, the theological study was in itself a revelatory experience. I couldn't tackle any assignment or X word research paper, without being yielded and willing to submit to what God wanted to show me. I spent more time being in total awe...

Hey 2Philo:wave: Hope you are good. I said I was gonna fold on this thread. But nonetheless. I agreed with the post by StronginHim and offered that it always starts with called of God 1. called of God, qualified, educated Pastor yes 2. One with a Master's Degree or above not necessary. So...

The same argument can be made for the Levitical priesthood. The requirement for the Levitical priesthood did not only include being male... it was a lot more stringent including, priest were not to be Gentiles. So he didn't appoint female priests under the Old covenant, he didn't appoint male...

Also some Pentecostal and Baptist churches.
