    Go Up Thou Bald Head, Go Up!

    The Hebrew word which is generally used throughout the Old Testament and which corresponds in meaning to the symbolic, figurative and literal usage of the English words translated as staff, rod, branch and tribe is matteh. In all of these instances the word is intended to be either literal and...

    Me, myself and I.

    Well brother Richard, what I said was no mere perspective. It wasn't acquired by learning but the hard way of always wanting to see the Holy Spirit move in churches - and despite opposition - also seeing that sincere and real faith in many Evangelical quarters does not remove prophetic...

    Me, myself and I.

    I agree that sermons for their own sake are a waste of time if for no other reason than because sermons can be no more than intellectual constructs and hold little opportunity to absorb the construct - so as to reflect upon what is heard in ones own time - so to speak. But Aspergers should have...

    So let's see then? Dick! You are a charismatic, geriatric, Autistic, well educated Australian! And they say nothing good comes out of Australia.

    George Fox was not radical because he had sown himself into leather pants to walk the North of England and rebuke the clergy at their Steeple Houses - he was radical because he incited a refusal to swear oaths that were constitutionally necessary in the Common Wealth of England during a Civil...

    Have you ever studied George Fox? He was a raving mad man in sensibilities and one time went about England wearing leather breeches into which he had sown himself. He slept in hay stacks for years. To say that he was extreme is understated. He wrote some genuinely disturbing things along with...

    I feel very hopeless at this point in my life, with no way of improving it.

    Bless you mate. I would give you a brotherly hug if it were possible. My youngest son is in his late 20's and he's still not found the right lass. In fact he hasn't found any lass ever. I sometimes wonder how he is - he still lives with my wife and myself - so I invade his rooms and demand a...

    Awaken to Jesus Through the Number 888

    Was you aware that the term Year zero employed by the takeover of Cambodia in 1975 by the Khmer Rouge is numerically predicated on the 888 numerological precept of which you have given an alleged biblical equivalence?

    Capitalization in Prophesy. Is prophesy really useful for faith.

    The difference is in the theological frame of reference and not in the linguistic meaning. Although the argument linguistically is often based on textual source. majority-text-vs-critical-text-vs-textus-receptus-textual-criticism-101

    What are my options?

    Right! What you describe as a plan seems to have been worked out at least some $7k ago - otherwise you would have been unable to justify the continued behaviour. I take it that you don't have a bipolar type 1 diagnosis because your actions whilst manic are well grounded behaviourally. And that...

    What are my options?

    I am tempted to say you should start by not calling yourself a Calvinist first - but then as amusing as that was intended to be I suddenly realised that your language is manic. Can I ask if you are Bi Polar?

    Capitalization in Prophesy. Is prophesy really useful for faith.

    "Assemble yourselves that I may tell you what will befall you in the days to come. Gather together and hear, O sons of Jacob; And listen to Israel your father." Gen 49:1. This is the beginning in the Scripture that salvation by God is made direct reference to in His name. The start is from...

    I saw a man with a hat. Up came he to my place, and spake, “Teach not thy brother.” “Teach not thy brother,” spake I. “Why sayest thou, ‘Teach not thy brother?’” Sayest he, “One is called Teacher, and He alone shall teach” “And whence” spake I. “shall I find this Teacher thou speaketh of?” With...

    Hi. Made this account to seek wisdom and advice

    Just thought I would post this because it is a very simple medical expression of OCD.

    Severe Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Spiritual Struggles, & Horrible Darkness

    How great thy works O Lord made full, Imprisons all, though inward shines. If not the garment torn by willing cross to bear, If all its purpose pressed conceive no blessing. Let all the parts to cleave, if parts to form. A faithful wait! The kingdom of our Lord. Once again corruption set aside...

    Severe Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Spiritual Struggles, & Horrible Darkness

    “I would have the weakest woman read the Gospels and the Epistles of St. Paul...I would have those words translated into all languages, so that not only Scots and Irishmen, but Turks and Saracens might read them.

    Molinism: The Bridge Between Calvinism & Arminianism

    I already looked at the two links you posted - and seeing as they are your efforts I posted to yourself. If they had been external articles or else posts written by another person I would have simply written a non personal response or else written to the other person. You said in one of those...

    Molinism: The Bridge Between Calvinism & Arminianism

    I don't hate anyone and I couldn't give a care about trying to hunt Charles Finney. I asked you a serious question as you have spent some time overturning Calvinism as you understand it - yet I posted a very simple precept based on: "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come...
