    Rape in the bible

    Indeed, but not in the sense that you are assigning. As governments fall, lawlessness will prevail (anarchy) and people will fight among each other for survival, causing death and chaos (inhumanity). The killing of children and the rape of women will be perpetrated by these people, not as a...

    Rape in the bible

    Ok, lets take the chapter in portions. This is not a song, a woe oracle, or a salvation oracle. It is a maśśāʾ (“utterance, oracle”) about the foreign nation of Babylon. This general title does not identify this message as a separate literary genre but simply indicates...

    Rape in the bible

    Hi Kiritsugu, The first thing necessary to interpret these passages is to divide the passages by topic. Verses 1-16 speak of general eschatology (end of times- see the mention of the day of the Lord). Verses 1-12 depict the calling of an unnamed army which will carry out God's wrath at the time...

    Colossians 1:23

    Hi Brother, My argument centers around the meaning (and use) of the word ηρυχθέντος. The word can be translated as both proclaim and preach, however, proclaim and preach can have different usages or meanings. In Col. 1:23 the most likely meaning...

    Why all the debate? We don't have time for it

    2 Tim 4 I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with [a]great patience and instruction. 3 For the time will...

    The flat earth

    From an earthly view it could. Remember that some descriptions in scripture are anthropomorphical (from man's POV). The four compass points. The four compass points. Nothing here about a flat earth. Read the verses preceding this one. Zophar is attempting to describe God's depth from his...

    Colossians 1:23

    Hi Brother, The OP's question is "Had the saving gospel literally been preached to all people (including the western hemisphere) at the time Paul wrote this?" Proclaim and preach are NOT the same verb or action nor do they mean the same. The gospel had indeed been "proclaimed" to all but it had...

    Colossians 1:23

    Not yet. In the immediate context of the passage Paul is speaking " To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are at Colossae (V. 2)." However, Paul's message is all encompassing of the body of Christ so as the body increased so did the gospel's reach.

    Uh no, I didn't go the Heaven, that was made up.

    How do you interpret the verse you quoted?

    All you had to do was file the FAFSA as an independent instead of a dependent. Sorry to hear about your father. I'll keep him, you, and your family in my prayers.

    Community college is already free. The Pell Grant is sufficient to pay for it, including books.

    Heb. 8 13 [i]When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is [j]ready to disappear. Gal. 3 19 Why the Law then? It was added [ac]because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the [ad]agency of...

    Exodus 11 18 Now Mount Sinai was all in smoke because the Lord descended upon it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain [g]quaked violently. 19 When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him with [h]thunder. 20...
