I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. All Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your...

the greatest commandment is love ♥ ((Matthew 22:33-40, Mark 12:28-34, Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Leviticus 19:18))

once upon a time, I hope that you will put up with a little of my foolishness, but you are already doing that .. (2 Corinthians 11:1) suppose you have glasses.. easy enough to imagine? now suppose there's a person .. and you look at them. yeah i know...

thinking about the weirdly continuing argument about whether it's okay to eat certain foods or not, a question rose up in my mind, that i think is really worth searching out. what does the scripture actually command to be eaten? this is not, 'what does the law of Moses say is permissible' --...

Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself? (Ecclesiastes 7:16) what does this mean?

Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy...

is Ecclesiastes 4:13-16 describing Christ? i'm interested to read all of your understanding, whatever it my be, whatever you see here. here it is in a variety of English translation: Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished. For out of...

below is given a short proof that we all know very little there is a 'right' way to pray. this is evident by Luke 18:10-14, Luke 11:1-2, etc. 'the right way to pray' can be described by some set of attributes, one of which is this: Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer...

And when He thus had spoken, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth! And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. (John 11:43-44) bound hand and foot -- He saith...

Bram Cools - Safe Happy Christian Music for the Conservative Middleclass

all of the video links from the old forum are dead now, because the new forum uses different tags to embed media. result is, thousands of posts in the music section in particular that used to be music, now look like this: . . ((youtube url here)) . . instead of this: i was...

vote up to 3 times and comment infinitely :D text in poll is ESV, but i substituted the literal Greek "amen" for 'verily/truly' and put an exclamation point at the end because, well, it's an amazing thing He says! ((did you know where our Bibles say 'verily' Jesus is actually literally saying...

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least...

it's usually an atheist's argument, but you'll find that some Christians say the same thing, either openly or implicitly through what else they believe: that the god of the old testament is not the god of the new. that the god of Exodus, Deuteronomy, Leviticus, Joshua, Judges etc. is evil...

hopefully this is a moderately interesting topic with little room for any dogmatic arguments... but we'll see about that lol. Genesis 24:63-64 describes the first time Isaac and Rebekah met. in verse 63, there is an obscure word, used only once in all the scriptures, 'of uncertain origin'...

Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. (Revelation 13:11) what does it mean to 'speak like a dragon' ? how does John happen to know how dragons talk?

Genesis 3:21 -- Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. (KJV) The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them. (NASB) The LORD God made clothing out of skins for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them. (HCSB) coats...

the addition of chapters & verses to the scripture is undoubtedly helpful in some respects, but it also makes us sometimes act as though scripture comes in these numbered 'packets' and is not related to the preceding of following texts. we see a thread about Ananias, for example, so we open...

i'd like to talk about all of Genesis 32 here. there is a great deal to bring out. Genesis 32 starts with verse 1. verse 2 comes right after verse 1. i know, obvious, right? but we pass over obvious things sometimes.. so i wanted to make sure this is pointed out :) Now as Jacob went on his...

In psychology, there’s an idea known as the Dunning-Kruger effect. It refers to research by David Dunning and Justin Kruger that found the least competent people often believe they are the most competent because they “lack the very expertise needed to recognize how badly they’re doing.” i...
