Thank you Port, Looks like you already meditated all this

Thank you, eleos, for the relevant scripture you add to mine. Actually, i fand in Jn 15 mention of "hatred" against disciples that must better explain what i was trying to explain through war

Hello, Has someone an idea what the Jews saw in this verse, that made Jesus reply that their guilt remains ? And, too, whether wars could possibly originate in this kind of seeing of them ? (just a hypothesis of mine)

Ok, WA, i give up : Anyway, This feeling of incertitude about this word is mine

Sorry for your thread about trinity, Michie. May be we ought to create another one i know, WA, but aren't you turning a bit easily the truth seeker into a conceited person ?

i try, thank you, WA

Thank you to both of you, You can see, Ayel lee, the second definition, namely : servant, attendant seems turned into irony in the HELPS Word-studies 1401 doúlos (a masculine noun of uncertain derivation) – properly, someone who belongs to another; a bond-slave, without any ownership rights of...

I found indeed "slave" in the New Catholic Bible, but fail to read the same in the Greek you give. All the other translations i found mention "servant".

I think the same things as you, WA, but about sin, that's precisely, subsequently as what we both believe, far more enslaving and tyrannical than any master enslaving any man

In my personal Bible, Phil 2,7 refers to servant, not to slave.. Jésus relates slaving oneself to sin, in Jn 8, 31. I'm not sure to think correctly, but i would conclude therefore a True slave is first a sinner, which is not how slaves are perceived first in human hierarchies. Rather, their...

Hi everyone and you, Ayel Lee. Ayel Lee, Do you think the slave form is the proper one to empty oneself ? Doesn't the slave status let people feel some sort of boast as well ? For, when you decide slave is a lower status, you refer to a human hierarchy. Luke 14,12 does not tell which status is...

As long as you speak sincerely, i won't. I'm the first person i throw stones at, for i do use fossil fuels. I have no desire to throw anything at anyone. You wrote yourself caring about Earth was idolatry, didn't you ? May be i am short-sighted, excessive in my expression, when i conclude you...

Thank you, bwap i understand. i try and place myself in your own place, that is, someone who seems to not care of the Earth. 1. What if all the fossil fuel left on the planet were burnt at the same time? i, who do care about your soul, wonder whether this wouldn't be better, without the...

i think we both are persons of good will, that speak sincerely, bwap. That's why i dare say i don't see which of these vices they promote less with fossil fuels than they would do without. Especially sloth, for i'd rather drive 1000 miles than walk 1000 miles, if i just think selfishly

The golden calf also was men's work. Idolatry also was for their works, not just for gold as a precious material. Besides, gold is not edible, that turned them into idol woshippers. Now, cars, planes, rockets , etc.. are men's work as well. I hardly conceive your riding a bike to be more...
