A big hardy welcome from one life-long seeker to another. Keep up the chase, let nothing turn you away from the search. The journey is joyous. There will be some who will tell you to just believe and leave it there. For some, that is just not enough. Some saints throughout history have been...

Oh I am well aware of a few of those "worldly troubles", unfortunately so is she! ;) Anyway, God created real human beings with real feelings and drives. These were given us to serve his purposes. Equating those feelings with lust is an error. Lust is not the feelings. Lust is an...

Welcome and thank you for sharing your encouraging story. Subtle abuse presents some unique and very difficult issues. Sometimes we struggle for years over our relationship with the abuser. Subtle abuse is also easy to hide. We avoid confronting the abuse head-on, but then internalize the...

This issue is thoroughly explained in Romans 14. The continued controversy is a little amazing (and baffling). 3 The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them...

I believe you are correct. The Babylonian Empire did fall to the Median/Persian Empire but were more incorporated than destroyed.

Yes there is. The Commandments were given directly to God's people by God himself from the top of a mountain in fire, smoke and earth quake. He then physically wrote them in stone for his people and commanded them to keep them forever. All other "laws/ordinances/etc." flow from them. The...

The Pharisees who accused this woman were arrogant beyond belief. They brought this woman before a man they thought to be a real "country bumpkin". Their intent was to publicize his ignorance to everyone around. "Can anything good come out of Galilee?" They knew Yeshua was not a priest and...

I do not think Christ appealed to the conscience of the Pharisees when he suggested who should throw the first stone. These evil men knew the law, they were well aware that they were breaking the law when they presented the "Adulteress" for stoning. They also knew that if their false...

As I have posted this before (sorry if this is redumbnant). I believe the answer to this question can be found in Numbers 5. Jesus is perfectly referencing the process given to Moses by God to test a woman suspected of adultery. Every element of Numbers 5 is present EXCEPT the required...

A big warm welcome from your neighbor to the south. Glad you are here!

Beautiful statement of faith. Yet another example of how the world hates the truth. Keep showing the truth.

The stones cry out from the Moscow earth, For the blood of Ethan, Xana, Madison and Kaylee. In Delphi the blood of Abby and Libby Plead for justice from the banks of a creek. In Flora the blood of Keyana, Keyara, Kerrielle and Kionne, Cry from the cruelest cut of all; Betrayed like the children...

Fascinating! I had never heard that before. It goes back to faith; one either believes or does not believe. Great post!

You already are! Welcome and jump in, there is encouragement and prayer here. Don't get discouraged if it takes a little time to find your unique place. Keep looking, it took most of us a little time. It is well worth the effort.

Blaaa.....Blaaa.....Blaaa. Same old naturalist assertions that have been made since the day after Christ's resurrection. This man says nothing new. If the gospel accounts were all identical, this clown would be the first to then claim they were then proven to be manufactured. And of...

I had a serious case of "withdrawal".

I could not find any references to a church or religious movement called Mazarine.

Thanks, I followed the link. I don't think there is any connection.

Wow....

Thank you (I think) for the link. I found it fascinating and enlightening. I have spent very little time studying Rabbinic Judaism but find it fascinating and a little confusing. It adds much nuance to biblical study.
