    Can anyone help translate a phrase into Koine Greek?

    Partly. A little background. I was stationed in Germany in '58 as an Army cook. I had learned to speak German about 6 years earlier in what was then known as Jr. high. on my own with the help of an art teacher. Stationed in Germany we had civilians working in what was then known as "mess hall"...

    Human Trafficking Is A Capital Offense

    I would say that a considerable number of residents of the U.S. south in the 1860s didn't know or ignored this verse.

    Saint Justin Martyr said Psalm 96:10 was changed on purpose and is missing the phrase "From The Wood / Tree" (The Cross) in 100-165 A.D.

    I don't understand the objection. How does the absence of the words "from the wood/tree" change the meaning?

    Was the modern state of Israel created by The Rothschilds and The British Empire or God ?

    What was the word in the original language transliterated as "Palestine"? As I said in another post the Hebrew word P'leshtiy, invader/enemy, is transliterated Philistine in the English O.T. And OBTW the P'leshtiy were not Arab but ocean going Europeans who lived on the southern shore of the...

    Was the modern state of Israel created by The Rothschilds and The British Empire or God ?

    Wiki again. Anybody can make changes at Wiki without review. Exactly what was the original word transliterated Palestine in the translation, above? As I said even the Hebrew P'leshtiy, invader or enemy, is transliterated "Philistine" in the O.T. YHWH the God of the O.T. named Israel and gave it...

    Was the modern state of Israel created by The Rothschilds and The British Empire or God ?

    Wiki? Let's get serious here. The region from Turkey to Egypt was named Palestin[a] by the Romans, NOT the inhabitants of the region, as an insult to the Jews because the Peleshtiy, [Heb] which means invader or enemy, written Philistine in the O.T., were enemies of the Jews. Sorry I can't find...

    Was the modern state of Israel created by The Rothschilds and The British Empire or God ?

    @Canuckster First, the name “Palestine” does NOT occur in the Bible or the Qur’an. There is NOT now and has NEVER been and NO so-called Palestinian has ever resided in, and has NEVER, in any capacity whatsoever, governed any part of a sovereign state/country/nation or independent political...

    Now let us read what happened later. Here is what actually happened. N.B. Who attacked whom and when! The Arab-Israeli War of 1948 broke out when five [5] Arab nations invaded territory in the former Palestinian mandate [which included Israel, Jordan, the west bank and Gaza NOT: Palestine...

    Star of David is a fraud. Actually it is a Star of Remphan Acts 7:43

    When might we see credible, verifiable evidence that "The star of David is actually the star of Remphan" as the thread title states?

    So, apparently The Church Is Israel

    The above may well be true but the physical land of Israel Yahweh gave specifically to the legitimate descendants of Abraham vice Ishmael the illegitimate son of Hagar.

    Eternal punishment vs eternal life

    I decide that eternal punishment is what the rich man in Luke was experiencing. He died, and was dead but he was experiencing some kind of conscious awareness and knew he had a tongue and that Lazarus had a finger. Abraham said that the rich man could not leave the place where he was and Lazarus...

    I can't agree with you. E.g. When Jesus called Herod a fox he was not literally a fox. When Jesus addressed Peter as Satan, Peter was not literally Satan. When Jesus called James and John sons of thunder they were not literally sons of thunder.

    Geocentric Early Church Writer Quotes

    The problem with this view is all of the founders of various heterodox groups such as LDS, JW, etc. make the same claim. They know they are right because they prayed and God spoke directly to them.
