https://ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf01.html I no longer have to carry my 5 pound laptop around to read the ECFs with PDF files! In the mobile option epubs are available. I can make the letters as big as I want on my phone! Scans are really hard to read when your screen is smaller than 5 inches...

Thanks for the clarification.

Interestingly enough, when I googled "do people become angels when they die", dozens of the top answers were that the Bible does not say that people become angels when they die. So I figured this must be true. But then in my regular study I came across Jesus talking with the Sadducees in...

The Martyrdom of Polycarp: "And, looking to the grace of Christ, they despised all the torments of this world, redeeming themselves from eternal punishment by [the suffering of] a single hour. For this reason the fire of their savage executioners appeared cool to them. For they kept before...

He is using the rigors of the Levitical priesthood as an example of it. I think you're right there, I was looking at the branches of the trees rather than the forest :) Now that I've had time to reflect I think in the larger concept of the letter that Clement was concerned about the envious...

CHAPTER '40. LET US PRESERVE IN THE CHURCH THE ORDER APPOINTED BY GOD. These things therefore being manifest to us, and since we look into the depths of the divine knowledge, it behooves us to do all things in [their proper] order, which the Lord has commanded us to perform at stated times...

I've made several batches of jerky, trying beef regular, lean ground beef, and different cuts of pork jerky. Do you have any recipes for the merinade prep? I usually use soy sauce, various Bar-B-Q sauces, hotsauce, and a little paprika, garlic and onion powder, black pepper, liquid smoke...

More than 30 years ago, I became ill with a major mental illness. Along with it came the same desperate fears and turmoil as described above. In many ways I was incapacitated mentally, socially, and spiritually. While knowing Jesus as my Savior and Lord, I found my sense of sin and my distress...

This bruised reed is a man that for the most part is in some misery, as those were that came to Christ for help, and '(2.) by misery is brought to see sin the cause of it; for whatsoever pretences sin maketh, yet bruising or breaking is the end of it; '(3.) he is sensible of sin and misery, even...

I clicked on this thinking you were talking about my closet!:D

I know it's not scriptural, but good for a laugh.

OT always was the Kangaroo as now we do behold him, but a Different Animal with four short legs. He was grey and he was woolly, and his pride was inordinate: he danced on an outcrop in the middle of Australia, and he went to the Little God Nqa. He went to Nqa at six before breakfast, saying...

A while ago I spent seven years volunteering and then working as a mental health peer support coordinator. This was with a non faith based organization. Through my experience there I met some amazing people, many with serious health concerns, who were able to see beyond their own suffering and...

I was thinking more along the line of transitional outcomes in terms of the process of complete cessation on one hand, and the other being a ministerial approach for people who are suffering with addictions. For believers in Christ the power of the Gospel is complete forgiveness of sin and...

Is there an underlying expectation that Christians should abstain from Drugs and Alcohol? And if/when we see a Christian using do we personally become disappointed with him or her, or secretly condemn that person for doing so? Do we secretly hold the attitude, "Don't smoke, don't drink, don't...

For me it was a cholesteral issue, as well as a cost issue, in having to give up Fast food. While not as bad, pre-prepared meals have been my mainstay for years, especially when the baking element in my oven stopped working. As a supermom you really deserve a treat now and then for all your...

So, a number of years ago I was told by my Doctor to lay off Fast Food. Back then I was a bit of a Fast Food Junkie: Maccers in the morning, Burger King in the evening, Wendy's in the afternoon with a smattering of chinese throughout the week. So I'm wondering, how often do you resort to...

I just finished Julian May's Conquerors Moon, the first in a Trilogy, the Boreal Moon. There was some interesting character development, and it didn't take long to explain the "system of magic" being used. It's mostly a "palace" or "palaces" story...Most of the main characters are royalty...

I think Aramaic (Chaldean) was only used in parts of Daniel, and a snippet here or there in Ezra and Nehemiah. Semitic is a family of languages which includes both Hebrew and Arabic. Aram is an old name for Syria whose language is/was also Semitic in origin. Semitic is the linguistic term for...

It's too hot to turn the oven on today
