Girlfriend, by what authority of God, or man, do you say "misinterpretation"? And what gives you such authority without qualification? God, or Paul, NEVER said that women "should not speak" in any "cultural context"! That is nothing but "theology" and Theology is purely mans invention. God's...

Like I always say, these things are most important to the people that will actually live in that eschatology. We only have a view given us from eschatological verses that have nothing , whatsoever, to do with our here, and now, call! The future will take care of itself! Much like the past and...

I know that the earlier manuscripts have 616 and not 666. But if we look at it from a alpha numeric sense, then in both Hebrew and Greek converted to an English phonetic equivalent then, it is ZAZ. What does that mean? I have absolutely no clue! Just an observation.

I was faced with such a challenge even earlier then 14. When I was 11 someone asked me if I was "saved"? Holy crapola! What in hell does that mean to an 11yr old? As long as I can remember, Jesus was my "invisible friend" having learned of Him from my mother. I took Him on bike rides to show...

Now that, I do not disagree with! But, you are going to step on some theological toes as others "doctrine of volitional responsibility" that somehow, guarantees the life of God's promise. That will never work! To say that all is "volition" is saying to me that we, somehow, through choices, have...

Truly! For freedom without authority is anarchy and, authority without freedom is tyranny! Or, why did David say, "Thy rod and Thy staff. they comfort me"? Rod= divine discipline, staff = getting yanked out of a troubling mess of our own design. I have experienced both because it took me...

Never confuse freedom with anarchy. Is nudity "freedom of expression" or, anarchy? Is inappropriate contentography "freedom or speech" or, anarchy? If we do not learn to separate freedom from anarchy, then the anarchists will use the word freedom against us!

Your John 1:3 quote is talking about the Word. The Word became flesh in verse 14. So Jesus wasn't born yet. Your Colossians 1:16 quote, ktisis, erroneously translated as "created", means: to found or, establish. The translators sometimes also translate it as "world" which is just as goofy...

You are nothing but GOOD! I love you because God [the character and nature that is God] He-is. I'm not saying that I agree with your rocket science that is obviously outside of the context that was written by people God called to write such things truthfully, but, God and His love in you is...

Yeah, Tertullian's big God, smaller Jesus and even smaller spiritus; that he dubbed the "trinitas", has been reinvented and reinvented ever since and they even gave God an "essence" to justify it that everyone argues about. It's so stupid and unnecessary!

I try to always do the same thing. My point was that christos is the adjective used by the writers because iEsous was a popular name at the time and still is. There are three different people named iEsous in the Greek NT. One is Jesus, one is the OT hero Joshua and one is translated as Jose(?)...

It's funny, now people ask me, "Why does God bless you SO MUCH?" I asked God the same question and He said, "Well Bill, it's just that you remind me SO MUCH of My Son!" :)

"I am familiar with the Father-Son Union doctrine and it’s presence in the early church writings that are outside of Canon. You are the first official person I have ever seen write that holds to it." That is fascinating! I never heard of such a thing and am not all together sure of what you...

Thank you so much kind Sir! I really appreciate your kindness! It is a difficult subject. And your right, it took me years and years to unravel that rat nested reel! But, I am in(a place of rest) Jesus and Jesus is in(a place of rest) me and we are united in one place without motion(to be...

If we look at the OT through the Greek of the Septuagint we find that animals have a psuchE-breath "soul" but they do not possess a pneuma-breath "spirit". Which is merely stating that your cat has a natural instinctive intellect but it cannot process external information such as, read a book!

As far as, 1 Thess 5:23 Paul's use of the definite article and the conjunction kai is interesting: "thee pneuma-breath and-also thee psuchE-breath and-also thee body". The way Paul worded it is to unite all as one unit to be completely and entirely blameless. As far as John 14 we are NOT...

I must tell you this as well. Being dismantled like that felt to me like being prepared to enter the kingdom of God/heaven. Jesus talks over and over about just how awesome that kingdom is and that it is difficult for a rich man to enter. Well, I didn't have to sell all that I had and give to...

Sorry to bother you but I wish to continue: Spirit is the worst translation we could have given the Greek word pneuma or the Hebrew word ruwach, second only to “Ghost”. spiritus, transliterated as spirit into English, has done little for us in the understanding of pure pneuma, the pure...

agreed! That journey started when I contemplated the noun pistis(translated as faith)that every one uses wrongfully as a verb. I began to realize that my faith was actually God's faith which is His Word. The next thing you know the company I was working for went out of business overnight and...

I did not use the word "cause". It is God's will for us to experience these things gracefully according to our God given instructions which is the Word of God no matter the source.
