    Why are Tiny Sectarian Internet Cults Usually KJO?

    People on the internet that present strange unorthodox doctrine and offbeat interpretations who are also KJV only are just immature people who do what most immature people do, "act like they know what they are talking about when they really don't." The internet gives every teacher wannabe a...

    Baggage

    Fear of suffering. That's what it is. Fear of "not having something you want and not being able to have that need immediately satisfied." That must be some like of phobia right? I'll look it up. When we find that we have forgotten to bring something with us we make a mental note not to do...

    "Christians must resist all COVID-19 restrictions. Here’s why"

    I trust the data on the CDC site and the links to scientific testing and data collected over the past three years as it relates to COVID and the vaccines being administered. I don't argue with people who disagree with the reliable scientific cooperative data that is being collected by the...

    Not many mentions of the afterlife in the OT

    Seeking a city not made with hands whose builder and maker is God, eternal in the heavens, was what was revealed to Abraham and passed down, and you know what? It is still all that we have isn't it? That is as much detail as we still have.

    Not many mentions of the afterlife in the OT

    We know that Enoch prophesied that the Lord would come with myriads of His saints to execute judgment. This was a reference to coming with people who were with Him. There were references to Hell and even a warning that heaven was above for those to seek and escape the hell beneath. A...

    Why does the KJV say "they prophesied, and did not cease" in Num 11:25

    We can talk about that. I don't mind. On that subject I usually refer people to that easy to understand book "How to read a Bible for all Its Worth" by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stewart. As to how this topic applies to the OP I would say that the question to ask is what do the manuscripts in...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    Nobody teaches what you claim. You are arguing with a phantom teacher, one that you invent and give words to. You're "surely die" argument doesn't apply. Your use of it falls to the ground unanswered because no one is following your logic and the logical mind rejects your twisted attempt to...

    Why does the KJV say "they prophesied, and did not cease" in Num 11:25

    I think all 70 prophesied at the same time. And I think they continued long enough for the man to run to Moses and tell on the two in the camp. That while he was telling Moses, they were still doing it, because Joshua was afraid something terrible was going to happen if they did not stop...

    "Christians must resist all COVID-19 restrictions. Here’s why"

    When a vaccine is available that is just as much a sure sign of mercy as the plague itself can be a sign of judgment. This global pandemic is a warning of worse judgments to come. We know that God has used plagues in the bible. We know that vaccines are not always guaranteed to work.

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    Well, not that he was backslidden while writing it. He was writing about his past history. I doubt that he was backslidden while writing it, but this is his testimony about his search for meaning in life and what he thought at those times he was trying to find purpose through, education...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    Great Volumes of commentaries exist that you can read to help you "think more carefully about Ecclesiastes" and many of us have read some of them. Almost everyone knows how to read Ecclesiastes today and have known for centuries. You seem to be the one that can't identify the voice of the...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    You have already proven to be ineffective at proper hermeneutics so I am sure that your next "truth bomb" will be just another case of more of the same weak and biblically ignorant (tainted by your presuppositions taught by previous cult teachers in your movement) approach to exegesis...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    Don't be so quick to assume a position on the accuracy of translations until after you have learned ancient Hebrew. :) The verse is not hard to translate. If you understand the ancient Hebrew. There are assumptions in the syntax of the ancient Hebrew sentences. Where we use words like...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    He writes a testimony of how he searched for meaning in life in other things and returned to the truth that it is found only in serving God. So in giving the testimony of how he felt about different things he discovered were vanity, he expresses his feelings about them and his desire to die...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    Ecc 4:2 says..."And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive." So the writer states that the dead are happier than the living and that is not how one describes the thoughts of the thoughtless. I think you have some explaining to do.

    Why does the KJV say "they prophesied, and did not cease" in Num 11:25

    This should make for a good discussion. I would like scholarly attempts to answer this. I do not know the answer. I am hoping someone might shed some light on it even by giving good links to scholarly discussions that I did not find with a Google search. I found one discussion about the...

    Should I force Sunday school on my son?

    9 is still the age when you should make him do whatever you say and he should obey without complaining. Limiting his internet so that it is not available during Church events might help him decide to go to church also. If he knows that staying home means no internet until you get back he...
