Well what I found was an explanation that it was a parable that meant that your decisions now effect your eternity. Seems to skip the whole, "if they don't hear Moses and the prophets they want believe if one rose from the dead" statement as possibly being the main point. But maybe they use...

I will google what the SDA thinks that the parable teaches. The one brother's explanation was way too long and could not be mapped to anything Jesus actually said. I don't know if you ever gave your idea of what the parable lesson was supposed to be. But I will google SDA explanation as I am...

I lean toward dichotomous. Wayne Grudem has a good paper on this. https://truthstory.org/blog/the-essential-nature-of-man-chapter-23/ Bottom line two many scriptures use spirit and soul interchangeably and the two most common NT verses to support trichotomy 1 Thess 5:23, and Heb 4:12 can be...

I have read that the whole "bosom" phrase, whether it was Abraham's Bosom, or John leaning on Jesus Bosom had to do with their place at the table. They reclined at feast tables. Leaning on one elbow and eating with the other arm. They were on their sides and the person nearest your chest was...

You want to see if the Greek syntax and language rules allows for "because they heard them speak in tongues and magnify God" is being applied to all of them or some of them. And let us say in theory only some of them were speaking in tongues and some were magnifying God, it is the supernatural...

An analysis of the text by Greek technical analysis would be the next step in answering the questions. "Does it mean that they ALL spoke in tongues and that they ALL magnified God?" Also "What does Magnify God" look like? I have a few commentaries on Acts. I will see whether the syntax of...

The question we ask is does the book of Acts indicate that there were believers who received an experience of the out pouring of the Holy Spirit after they believed that was a separate experience? The answer we discover is on several occasions, yes. Then we ask. "what was the most common...

What verse says we are responsible to testify to the truth? I can't comment on it without the context. John 18:48 “Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I...

The text that is the one that should be used the most to answer "does the Bible say that speaking in tongues is the initial evidence of the pouring out of the gift of the Holy Spirit" is Acts 10:46 45And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter...

They could have all spoken in tongues AND prophesied. Or all spoken in tongues for a while and then magnified God also. That they did both fits the description of the text much more than splitting them in halves. And analyzing the Greek from knowledge of Greek would be helpful, I would need...

The scriptures you use to teach this are statements from people who are not trying to teach what happens to the dead but merely statements about their own limited assumptions of what happens to the dead in the context of making a point about their current conditions they found themselves dealing...

Turns out, he did not invent mRNA vaccines. He is a pioneer of the technology but there are many others involved as I suspected. And the full story is that he is a jaded researcher who feels cut out of the glory taking and has found another path to the spot light by spreading misinformation...

Education. Yes, maybe classes in virology or immunology. That would be very rewarding.

I am just saying.. It only really makes sense when we tell antivaxxers who are believing misinformation, that they have drank the Kool Aid. It doesn't work when you apply it to those who follow the science.

Drinking the Kool Aid came from the Jim Jones, Jonestown event, therefore ... Specifically it would best be applied when applied to lying, conspiracy theory, charismatic religious leaders. That is where it came from. Therefore if someone believes a video that was crafted by a liar to make it...

I should also add that scholars (who understand Hebrew poetry and are expert in ancient Hebrew literature) explain that there are two women in proverbs. The one who seduces is a personification of sin in general. The Foolish Woman in proverbs is an allegory of sin in general and how we are to...

Well, not trying to argue about anything since it was just my own personal prediction. I will check back in 2024 to see if I was close or not. Also, the Kool Aid reference comes from the Jim Jones event where an extremist charismatic cult leader misused scriptures and preached antigovernment...

Your question was clearly answered. The reason that Proverbs warns the son about the flattering woman, is that it is addressing a son as advice from the father about how to watch out for flattering women. To somehow conclude that it does not address men who are whoremongers and wanton...

Exactly. Those links will help you discover credible verified validated cites that are accepted as valid cite sources for college papers etc. Wikipedia having errors that need corrections does not mean that ALL of it is wrong. Verify. It's not hard. Wikipedia is working on projects to...

My prediction is that the unvaccinated who are so because they do not trust vaccines are going to keep the hospital ICU units busy for the next two years for sure. There might be a decline but there will be complaints from hospitals telling us that they are treating ICU patients for COVID...
