    The Power of the Kingdom

    I am putting the finishing touches on a study I am doing on the Power of Love (Biblical) or God's Love or the Kingdom any way you want to label it.

    The power of Love...

    I am currently studying the power of God, specifically Biblical Love. I was wondering what all you all might like to add to my Biblical search. The study starts with this passage Matthew 22:29 which in context tells us that the power of God/Love is the power to not be deceived. So that is...

    Applying common literary rules to Matthew 26:26 and John 6:51

    Another poster and I were talking about how to know if the interpretation we hold is true or false. This passage came up as an example.

    I was sitting here reading some of the facebook comments about the inauguration and the country's future as a whole and it struck me that it appears that people have a different view of what a "Great America" would look like, so I thought I would ask here and see what you all thought a "Great...

    I keep hearing people talk about "gay rights" "transgender rights" etc. I personally tend to take people at their word rather than try to read into everything therefore I do not understand how a gay person or a transgender person or a black person or any other group of people you want to divide...

    Reasons for the drama

    Something has really been bothering me since the campaigning began. I have heard people give viable reasons for voting for Trump (didn't agree with most of the reasons) but I have never heard a Hillary supporter give a single valid reason to vote for here. Now that the election is over and all...

    I'm not sure if this belongs in apologetics but I do want a Biblical perspective beyond the usual... Here is the story behind the question. I was taught that I have no value, even that as a female I have no real value. When our son died, someone close to the family tried to reduce him to a...
