    I did it! I stopped thinking about Evolution, and started to think about God!

    Yes, I have struggled with how to answer Evolution, for a long time now: today, I actually got to the point where I stopped thinking about it - what it meant - and started to think about God, how He cares and loves me. The point is that you can do this as a rule - that's what is new, it's not...

    If you routinely removed all written theory - about 'Evolution' - from culture, it would reappear?

    Hi there, So this is quite an obscure question, really, but there is something really disturbing about 'Evolution' as a theory. Actually there are a number of things that are disturbing, but the picture that has developed for me, has started to point in one particular direction: that Evolution...

    "They shall all be taught by God" (Isa.), at God's coming will be "they shall all speak healing"

    Hi there, So there is a context sensitive verse in the gospels, quoted from Isaiah, that they shall all be taught by God - that is, you will not need to explain what you mean, to others, anymore, they shall understand what it means to speak of God (and His teaching). What is interesting is that...

    How can I interpret the words of Jesus Christ and apply it to my life??

    I have tried to read the Bible several times but I have some trouble understanding what the message of what it is talking about. There are just some passages that I am very confused about and that makes me get lost because I have the wrong interpretation. I just constantly get lost and I...

    A change has to be actionable, targeted and reachievable, if it is to secure "Evolution"...but?

    Hi there, So yes I am showing extreme caution at this point, because I am literally translating "I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but by Me" into "change has to be actionable, targeted and reachievable; the exercise of Evolution can only be secured in the manner...

    I make too little meaning, out of too many words

    Hi there, So this is a bit of a turning point, for me: I have come to the conclusion that I make too little meaning, out of too many words. In other words, I say a lot, for no reason. Or in other words again, I like to think I'm funny, but my comic timing is awful. All these things add up and I...

    Jesus said "he who is faithful in what is least, is faithful in much" - Evolution? Or in need of it?

    Hi there, So I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but the words of Jesus on incremental changes, is actually pretty clear: if you have enough of the initial requirement, the fuller difference can be expected. Jesus describes it, in terms of faith, but you could easily translate it...

    Do We Mean What We Say?

    Luke 9:57-58 ESV As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” Do you remember the words of Peter that he said to Jesus...

    Any place to contact experts in biblical Greek?

    Hello, Is there a place online where experts in the Koine Greek language of Bible times can be contacted? Having access to such would be beneficial in the study of the inspired text of Scripture!

    If you could take one verse, from the Bible, to add to Evolution, to make it stronger?

    Hi there, So I am sort of running out of ideas as to what to contrast Evolution with - gravity doesn't make sense to Evolutionists "as a law", epigenetics is irrelevant to butterflies, and there is no real answer to the ubiquity (or lack thereof) of certain adaptations. What seems to matter is...

    Faith in the living, resurrected Word (while the scriptures are only 50% historically accurate).

    This post is primarily for those who believe the scriptures (original documents) are an inerrant, perfect representation of historical events. Of course, anyone may comment. (This post may need to be moved, but I figured the topic would be controversial for some so I placed it here). Let's...

    Technical question about the Greek of 2 Peter 1:4 as relates (or not) to theology

    Hi all, A recent thread has caused me to look for information on the exact meaning of κοινωνοι as it is found in 2 Peter 1:4 (the famous "partakers of the divine nature" verse). Not knowing Greek, what little I have found suggests that it might be more literally translated as "sharers" (as...

    The Power Of The Tongue - Part 1

    I was reading through Proverbs Chapter 12 today and I found multiple references to the power of words. This served as an opportunity for me to reflect on some of the ways that words are discussed in the Bible and their implications. This first blog entry is part of a planned series of entries on...

    Who Do We Imitate?

    How are our lives impacting others for Jesus Christ? Does our walk match our talk? Do we live what we say we believe? Can others see Christ in us? Or, is what they see our flesh? Do we honor God by our lives, by what we say, and by what we do? Or, are we living to please our flesh, consumed...

    Rejoicing the Heart

    Monday, July 24, 2017, 6:23 p.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “He Touched My Mouth.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Psalm 19:7-14 (ESV). We read in the Bible that “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for...

    Set a Watch

    My title is not speaking of a wristwatch, but of a guard, a defense. Whether we are talking verbally to someone, or using a keyboard, I know that I should keep in mind to be careful what I say. Words can not only help or hurt someone, they can get us in trouble. So one of my favorite verses...
