    Adam: “horse” *next animal walks up* Adam: Oh wow, uh, “horse with stripes” error: name cannot use current name of animal Adam: What! Okay, uh… but it’s a horse with stripes! error: only letters are permitted, no numbers or special signs like $&*@#! are allowed Adam: I was just saying… error...

    Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.

    And then the Lord gave Paul to write: But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction...

    Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.

    He is most certainly God. When He was in the flesh of man He did not have all authority in heaven and on earth. He deferred to the Father. So, He did not know the Day at that time. Remember: "[He was] a little lower than the angels." All authority was given to Him after His resurrection. I...

    Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.

    Jesus - "All authority in heaven and on earth, has been given to me." When Jesus spoke "no one knows.. not even the Son" He did not know that Day. Now that He has ascended to the Father and all authority was given to Him, He now knows the Day. But the question remains: has He made the day known...

    The Lord had said to Abram

    I never wrote that. Only that there were consequences for not coming near to Him as instructed. God can still use “good” especially when it preserves lives. Good is one of those pesky words with many definitions like world, father, establish, etc. When I was in construction often a large piece...

    Breath of Life

    It is the spirit of God that God imparted to Adam. Since God is Spirit, imparting His own Spirit is the only way that Adam can be made in the image and likeness of God... God’s original intent.

    The Lord had said to Abram

    Yes, that‘s what I meant: God judged the people. Minor detail.

    TRUE GRIT

    "Others were tortured and refused their release, so that they might gain a better resurrection. Still others endured mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they were put to death by the sword. They went around in sheepskins and...

    The Lord had said to Abram

    @CarriePie @CommodoreTeach Remember kids: they'll kill you and think they are serving God. "...the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. 3 And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me."

    Passover is coming

    “Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity...

    Passover is coming

    Yeah, my question gets at the racism inherent in many church practices. To boil it down: why should an Arab believer celebrate a Jewish holiday? These things, like celebrating shadows when the reality has appeared, are relics of Rome. By and large, The Roman Church does not teach the indwelling...

    Passover is coming

    Or a better question: Why celebrate the symbol when the reality has come? It's like calling your wife on the phone when she's standing in the room.

    Passover is coming

    How should an Arab Christian celebrate Passover?

    The Lord had said to Abram

    Being right was the judgment of the people. The people told Moses to go into the presence of God in their stead. So, instead of becoming priests themselves, who can hear God, only 1 tribe in 12 were given that privilege under the Law. Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning...

    The Lord had said to Abram

    I appreciate the value you put on scripture. You wrote: I underlined the portion that is evidence that Peter's audience was not the Jews. He is writing to people "who once were not a people". The Jews, even if scattered, were always a distinct people with a distinct homeland. These are...
