    Plato's Influence On The New Testament

    In Acts 17:24-28 Paul says: “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else...

    Reading plans

    I have been looking for a 2 or 3 year reading plan for the NT, but the only 2 year plan I can find goes through the NT twice in 2 years and I cannot find any 3 year plans. I am almost done w/ a 1 year whole Bible reading plan and I want to go through the NT again, but at a slower pace to study...

    Does anyone publish a nice/fancy New Testament?

    I'd like to get a New Testament with a soft leather/leathertouch cover, thick acid-free paper, and a decent font (10 point or maybe 11). Not huge in size, and no study notes, or references clogging up the page. I don't think anyone makes one. The closest I found was an NLT designed to be read...

    Finished reading the New Testament

    I started reading the New Testament last September/October. I just finished up Revelation last night. I used the Christian Standard Bible (CSB) translation. I've read bits and pieces of the entire Bible, but I never sat down and just read a large chunk of it before (years ago I read Genesis and...

    11 Signs of True Converts

    The sermon at church today was really helpful to me personally as I have been dealing with doubts of my assurance in eternal life with Jesus Christ. The pastor went through 1 Thessalonians verses 1-4 listing out 11 signs of election and assurance that Paul points out. He said these are to...

    How should (or not) the 'lost' gospels be included in church or study?

    Should Christians read the 'lost' gospels in Bible study or read them in church for the purposes of a sermon, for example? Should they not be read at all? Could they be read academically, but not in church or bible study?

    Doing Good To Evildoers And The Story Of Jean Valjean

    Status: God's holding my hand as I walk very slowly. Still feel like I'm getting nowhere in my faith walk or in my life walk but surely I'm moving forward. I was reading through the NT earlier today and thinking about my worry for my mother who gets angry with things quite easily and is often...

    If "God is love", what about God's more violent actions?

    (If this isn't the right place to post this, feel free to move it) Given that Satan is supposed to be "the father of lies" and basically the incarnation of evil (even though he didn't do much in the Old Testament except Job, but I digress), t decided to look up on YouTube, out of curiosity...

    New Covenant, the 144,000 and NT scriptures

    I once believed that the New Covenant which involves being in heaven with Jesus to reign in his kingdom as kings and priests after the Christian is resurrected is limited to 144,000. The consequences of that belief on how I perceived the NT scriptures which mentioned those things were profound...
