I had No Clue about total depravity until I was in the latter half of a soteriology class, and my sin was strongly displayed to me, in my mind. I mean, by that, I had a sudden knowledge of my filthy sins that I never knew before. I thought I was a pretty good person, until that night. And I...

I think it's great that you can do this. I'm jealous. I wish I was so disciplined! I will be doing what I have been doing. Studying. I am undisciplined when it comes to reading, although I have made many false starts, trying. I end up studying, because my curiosity knows no bounds, then I go...

Hah! I only had a year to live, according to one of my docs, 2010. Ten years later, I still may have only a year to live. Things have deteriorated badly in 2019, so who knows. But let me warn you -- those of you who think you may be able to plan and work with a one year death sentence. It...

That is part of the "Two House" teachings.

Wow. Seriously? That is so kind, Visionary!! Thank you!!

Thank you!! :blush:

I am Messianic and have been since December, 1999, but not a Messianic Jew. Now, what? Help!

:wave: I think you got that backwards, Hon. You are the one who indicated that the chapter is about Sunday communal worship. Show me. Otherwise, this conversation is over. Okay? :)

This Scripture, however, is not about the weekly Sabbath. I do not believe Shabbat is mentioned in the whole chapter.

English. Some Hebrew, too, but not often, as I am still learning it. Some years back, I spoke Koine Greek, but I have forgotten much of that language.
