Something changed in 2016.

I think that has something to do with bulldozing people's homes who never had a quarrel with you and running them all out into the neighboring countries.

What? The United States has a whole new set of allies now! Russia and North Korea.

Right now in today's culture, I basically feel the same as the Federal judge does in the US Women's Soccer Team lawsuit: https://www.forbes.com/sites/evangerstmann/2020/05/04/this-is-why-the-us-womens-soccer-team-lost-their-pay-discrimination-suit/#4e6570de2886

Well...1st century Christians had a relationship with the Roman state all right.....

The Councils of Nicea and Laodicea significantly shaped what the Church is today. It's a bit of a challenge to navigate our faith based on these ever-changing councils. But you know--Nicene Creed, that's the Council of Nicea.

But usually that's not how the name "God" appears in the Masoretic Texts. Usually it's just "yod yod", which looks like quotes, or what we use in English as a "ditto" symbol, i.e. ''. As we know, Hebrews reverently treated Yahweh as "the name that shall not be named," so this is what they...

I think it's fair to say that Catholicism is one of the earliest embodiments of Christianity. I think it's also fair to say Coptic Christian is older than Catholicism. Catholicism--like Judaism--has since deviated its path from where it was pre-Reformation, but that nothing to do with...

Fortunately, this makes the question a whole lot easier to answer. It's because God's sense of justice is different from your own. Frankly, this whole bit about Nancy Pelosi and wishing she die of Coronavirus is completely ridiculous.

Hopefully this should make it clearer: The reason why some people thought Michael was Jesus is because of Michael's name in Hebrew. Michael = "who is like God?" Mi=who, cha=like, El=Elohim. Well...who IS like God? Only Jesus. Only Jesus is like God. Therefore, Michael is Jesus...

What disappoints me to no end are the people who are doing the persecuting.

Of course it doesn't--because there is no material difference between "in beginning" and "in the beginning". But if somebody came along and said it says, "In *A* beginning" and that there is a big difference between "in the beginning" and "in *A* beginning", now we are starting to borderline...

Clearly you are doing the very thing you accuse me of. You know nothing of my background in Hebrew. Did it even cross your mind that maybe I never even tried to be a so-called "scholar" in Hebrew, and simply wanted to know Hebrew the same way others know Spanish--because Hebrew is, like, the...

Now I'm hearing Andrew Cuomo has presidential aspirations.

I think it is an important point to keep thinking about. We pray for God's deliverance all the time, and if we truly want to listen for God to answer, then we should realize that often, Jesus responded by telling us to do something. All the way back in Genesis 19, Lot and his in-laws had to...

You know...to be quite honest, I never really believed anything about this. I believe Jesus told the blind man to go bathe, and if the man believed Jesus could heal him and he wanted to be healed, then he should go bathe. No further reason required. Accepting Jesus in your life requires...

No, I really don't. First off, like I said, only one person in my family got sick. Second, she lives with a roommate. Not us. Third, the other TWO people who got sick were a husband-and-wife couple, who were the parents of one of our church members. The couple themselves do not attend...

The anti-LGBT speech is the reason NYC cited. The same reason they are anti-Chick-Fil-A. The thing is, Samaritan's Purse was HELPING any LGBT patient who walked in their tent doors. And originally, NYC allowed Samaritan's Purse to set up shop in East Central Park. That is city property...

Why would I do that? You are not the Bible. I read the Bible directly, without a go-between, and I encourage everyone else to do the same. Do you not? Which would be true--in English. The Old Testament was not written in English. You are adding a connotation which does not exist in...

The original Hebrew is "malakh Adonai." I don't really see either a definite or indefinite article associated with it. In fact, "the" messenger of the Lord would be different: that would be "Hamalakh Adonai". But it is not: just malakh Adonai. I wouldn't read too much into it being...
