Then, how come some will wear the crowns and some will not? Are we all equal in the eye of God then? To understand "grace" as an equality is stupid post-reform laziness! I have pursued the Glory of God, the Life of God's promise and the righteousness of His perfection: did you? If not, then...

Gospel The word translated as “Gospel” in the English Newer Testament(covenants) is the Greek neuter noun “euaggelion”. The “gg” is pronounced like “ng”. The modern English word, “Gospel” comes from the old English word “god-spell or, godspel(both with long O’s)” which means “good-spell”...

I usually describe myself as the ram lamb with really big'uns horns nuzzled-up to the Shepherd, Jesus. However, last Saturday I was dead, for 4 minutes, in an ambulance on the way to the hospital and am now all bus'up. Sorry Jesus, but at least for now, I need gentle strokes and lots of...

About 11yrs ago, I was driving my wife's brand new truck home from work. I was driving responsibly through a residential neighborhood when suddenly, from in front of a parked car, a cat dashed right in front of me from the right! I slammed on the brakes but nothing happened! Also, the road was...

Why does every male find the movie, "Dumb and Dumber" absolutely hilarious. And every female finds it completely stupid? Yet, they will laugh hysterically at "Airplane"?

The Words “By”, “With”, “For” The translators, for some unknown (to me) reason, when they do not understand the motion, relationship, resting place or terminuses of a Greek preposition will simply translate, just about any preposition, as “by”, “with” or “for” (never trust those three words in...

tE gar chariti este sesOsmenoi dia [tEs] pisteOs Eph 2:8a For by grace you have been saved through faith; The first word in the Greek is tE. It is a dative definite article and means: to-thee. The dative case generally identifies a noun as a location. It is the case of the indirect object of...

This is purely anecdotal: not Scriptural or scientific. I was once tortured for 6 1/2 hours straight: don't ask, not relevant. I was struck several times, often with out seeing it coming. I didn't cry out nor acknowledge any pain. If fact, I was gracious. The reason being is that I did not...

Ellipses “to-be” verbs are sometimes added to the text because, in the Greek, we have what is known as ellipsis. Sometimes the writers of Scripture will leave out the verbs, intentionally, to give what their saying a dramatic emphasis with a dramatic pause. This is known as ellipsis. Example...

Aloha CF: Last year I lived in Palm Beach County FL when Hurrican Matthew showed up. A few days before THEE day, the computer models had that storm wiping out the entire Eastern Seaboard from Florida to Maine! So I immediately went to a Christian Forum(not this one) and wrote a prayer. I...

yet, with respect to the promise of God, he(Abraham) did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform. Rom 4:20-21 NASB Now, we all know that Abraham "wavered" all over the place! He was MR...

And the temple of God which is in heaven was opened; and the ark of His covenant appeared in His temple, and there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder and an earthquake and a great hailstorm. Rev 11:19 NASB (in case you’re looking for the “lost ark”) A story by Haipule...

Ephesians 5:18 is the only verse in the entire bible that says, "be filled with the Spirit!" Yet, Paul does not qualify his statement as to "how". How is, or does one be, or become, "filled with the Spirit"? I tell you truthfully, I HAVE NO CLUE! Yet, I hear commentary, after commentary from...

pray without ceasing; 1Thess 5:17 NASB Really? Hyper-Literal(same verse in context): Be!-you-all-seeing no certain-one(unmentionable person) bad-thing instead of-bad-thing to-certain-one, he-might-from-give, but-rather always thee good-thing be!-you-all-pursuing(press on toward the goal)...

christos is a Greek adjective meaning: anointed. It is used by the writers of Scripture attributively, predicately and appellatively. It refers to anyone or, anything that has been anointed. To be anointed by God means: to be given a God guaranteed destiny, purpose and mission. Unfortunately...

"Pick up your cross and follow Me" We've all heard that and some have even said it. But what does it mean? First of all, those words were spoken by Jesus BEFORE His cross. There is absolutely no possible way those words, spoken by Jesus Himself, before His cross, to the people of the 1st...

I can go in and out of body as well as, vortices through time. Once, I went out of body and vorticed back in time and teleported to be with John the Apostle on Patmos Island. This was our first meeting: Then I fell at his feet to worship him... I didn't mind being worshiped by John but, Jesus...

Many have John 3:16 framed on there wall. It is probably the most famous verse in Christianity. However, it is not faithfully translated. It does not honor John's grammatical inflection which he actually carefully pinned into every word. A Greek word is a root, and the rest of the alphabet soup...

People often ask me, "How did you do that?" That would be like Joseph explaining how he became the Prime Minister of Egypt! Or worse, "teach me how to do that!" As if I know?! The truth is, I can only teach you what I know about Jesus. I cannot however, teach you how to be like God! I ALWAYS...
