    I couldn't get glasses without a changed prescription, so....

    Yes, it is an eye-opener, I think! It was a surprise to me, but am glad I know now what to do about it. Yes, I've heard before, that carrots are said to be good for eyes - my mom told me that. And celery, carrots, and etc. are from the same plant family - umbelliferae, so I know they all...

    "Forsake not the assembling of yourselves together" - Heb. 10:25

    As I said, yes the letters were mostly to the churches, as most of their members were Christians. Yet, they were young Christians. And so they still needed to be warned against falling away, and about how to prevent that. I've seen that numerous times, throughout the New Testament books...

    "Forsake not the assembling of yourselves together" - Heb. 10:25

    I'm not sure what that "Abomination of Desolation" refers to - and like many prophetic scriptures - probably isn't understood the same by all Christians. I have wondered too, if it referred to something in Israel's history. But then, that chapter ends with referring to Christ's return. So...

    I couldn't get glasses without a changed prescription, so....

    A few years ago, I wanted to get an additional pair of glasses, in case my present ones ever break. My eyes are very good, and unchanged, for at least over 13 years, so far. I'm still able to read from Strong's Bible concordance, for example. So all I wanted was just another pair of...

    My summary of Acts, chapter 12

    Acts 13:46 46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. KJV True, they had to have been Jews, since the...

    "Forsake not the assembling of yourselves together" - Heb. 10:25

    Well, it looks to me like they did explain the gospel within their church meetings too. Though as you say, they also did much evangelization outside of the church too - which I'm sure helped to bring a lot more to Christ than if they hadn't done so. I can see evidences of Paul's warning...

    "Forsake not the assembling of yourselves together" - Heb. 10:25

    I hadn't thought of the fact, that it might have referred especially to the Jews - as to their common tendency to revert back to Judaism. Thanks for your insight! But even so, I'm sure the command to "not forsake the assembling of yourselves" - is important for all Christians, likewise - to...

    Paul's foreknowledge that "grievous wolves would enter in" Acts 20

    I'm glad God kept you and guided you throughout all of those years there! Well, at least we know that it probably gave you more insights than some have - about false prophets. And that God had to have used it for good, in spite of all the badness in it (assuming that you followed His will...

    My summary of Acts, chapter 12

    Yes, I agree with all you said on this topic. I've heard that too - that the best way to be a good witness for Christ is to put God's Word to action well in one's life. And I've also heard the adage, "The only gospel some people will be exposed to - is through your life and actions" -...

    John MacArthur - our nation is drifting away - repent and pray - I listened last night

    True, we are to be peacemakers, as Christians, and it has always been required by God for people to be peacemakers in daily life. Though it's true that God has used wars to help stop evil and also government and law forces, such as the police. We are to honor them and pray for them and for...

    A way I found to remove plaque from my teeth

    Interesting that you're a dentist, and that you approve of the idea of cleaning one's teeth in similar way as I suggested! I never heard of a dentist suggesting gauze for removal of plaque. But yes, I agree - it would basically be the same idea as mine. And as I said, I have found that it...

    John MacArthur - our nation is drifting away - repent and pray - I listened last night

    I know some Christians think that about John MacArthur, as I've read about it. But I've heard no evidence of that, in the preaching messages I've heard of his, online. I believe repentance is necessary, in order to get saved. And that one should be willing to let God be Master of their...

    My summary of Acts, chapter 12

    Yes, you're right! Yes, that example you mention of the 70 Jesus sent out to preach is a good example of what must be done when people reject the gospel after it is offered to them.

    I learned more about Sosthenes - Acts 18

    Right! We never know when our turn might come up for that! But should be prepared in our minds to be ready and willing, if God should call us to endure such. Yes, Pakistan is a dangerous place for Christians! But God needs Christians there too, just as elsewhere in the world. At...

    A way I found to remove plaque from my teeth

    Hi! I found a way to remove plaque from my teeth! Brushing my teeth with typical toothpaste and a toothbrush in the past, was never sufficient, I noticed (for many years) - to remove plaque from my teeth. Now, in recent years, I brush my teeth with saltwater. And more recently, I heated...

    Paul's foreknowledge that "grievous wolves would enter in" Acts 20

    Paul's foreknowledge that "grievous wolves would enter in" It's amazing (what it must have felt like), how Paul wept daily, in his concern (and foreknowledge - Acts 20:25) that after his final departure from this church, false prophets would come into their church - teaching heresies - and lead...
