I think I heard from a preaching back in 1992 from Fr E Tardiff MSC, that if they were permitted to open the roof above Jesus, and damage the house, that it must have been Jesus house. I agree He did not own all the houses He slept in.

Jesus must have had somewhere to lay his head as a boy, and unless He did not sleep, He had somewhere to sleep. His head rested. He didn't literally have no where to rest His head. According Moses' law, with the year of Jubilee, each Hebrew inherited land. Unless He sold His land, mud house and...

This is not clear Peacemaker1, I asked about interpretations, for the best, and about the title "Father".

It is a good idea to repent and receive your forgiveness, and stand up with a conscience made new like an infant.

Looks like Eternal Father. But why is He Father, when there is His Father in Heaven? Which rendition is best? Eternal Father or the literal, Father of Eternity? And how do you explain your view to a Modalist?

From your choice translation or reading of Hebrew, is Jesus Father of Eternity or Eternal Father? Perhaps God the Father in another mode?

I took a look in John: https://www.biblestudytools.com/nas/passage/?q=john+3:15;john+3:16;john+3:36;john+4:14;john+4:36;john+5:24;john+5:39;john+6:27;john+6:40;john+6:47;john+6:54;john+6:68;john+10:28;john+12:25;john+12:50;john+17:2;john+17:3 Apart from God's creating, there is nothing created...

If you are like an ancient Hebrew under Roman rule, or similar, passively resist. The Roman considers you second class or less, vermin, so if he hits your right cheek he uses his left had, and if you turn the other cheek, he must use his right hand and treat you as an equal.

In Isaiah 9:6 we read of the Eternal Father in non literal translations, or Father of Eternity in others, how do you see it? Modalists use this matter to their end, instead of Trinitarianism. Creator of time, who knows the end even now. Or Jesus is Father eternally, but of what?

Someone who wants millions of say Lira should not be blocked. If Italy had been moderated, by now it would be Turkey like Istanbul, which was once Constantinople. It is dangerous to fast and live on the edge of not enough. A pregnant wife and a small child and no food, partly because big...

Is it wise in retrospect, having the benefit of hindsight? God is wise, God's foolishness is greater than man's wisdom, focusing on Christ cross. Wisdom is the principle virtuous ability to ask for.

Good points, it is possible for a rich man to enter the Kingdom, when I did, I was poor! Compare a poor man from Sydney Australia, with a ordinary man in Ethiopia. I recall Chinese rice Christians. I chose to question general consensus in Catholic and interfaith history. After a man has the...

As a young man I was one of many who did not know what he believed as a Catholic. And I was humiliated by being taught, of the head theories, and catechism contrary to what I later found out was meant to believe, after I became a Protestant. Ideas like, how dare you want to prosper, and have...

One can't take scripture literally, or I challenge you to send me a photo of your wrist stump. Nero has been discerned by experts to have been a Psychopath, it is a known metal illness. 3 in 100 business managers are like this. They sometimes murder people without remorse... Pontius Pilate was...

What are the best novels and on screen stories, old and new, stories, characters, prose...? I never read but watched the LOTR in one evening and was impressed. Character development and history around the rings were interesting, suspense around the ending was great. I also still love the Hitch...

The digression is alright. I am looking into the ideas from your post.

I believe those who receive God's mercy and grace after dying spend time in Paradise and Heaven, and are sanctified before the resurrection of the body and glorification, which is more than complete sanctification. Their bodies are still in the Earth and they don't have new material bodies. I...

Yes I think we wait in Paradise or Heaven for some time, sanctified, before glorification and the resurrection of the body, which is done for the saints together. Romans 8:17. I think only Jesus is glorified so far. I see a different action under the Spirit in different times, such as before...

It isn't safe to promote any state church, the separation is good order, thanks to Roger Williams, of New England and Providence Plantation. Otherwise we may be back to alternating state churches at each change of government and fighting and restricted speech would be back.

By the moment of death I mean the concept of the human spirit leaving the body, long before the resurrection of the mortal body. And, sorry, polls only offered me a limited number of options.
