Do you believe the KJV has "jargon" in it? And if not, what would you think of the person who said that about your favorite Bible translation?

The answer to that question rests at the very heart of the Bible: John 9:39-41 NLT - "Then Jesus told him, "I entered this world to render judgment--to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind." Some Pharisees who were standing nearby heard him and asked...

Indeed. Nearly all members, here, claim they have received Spiritual healing. There isn't much that can be done here. As soon as I am ready, which will hopefully be in less than a year, I'll be hitting the streets and won't have time to be here any longer.

Thank you for your leveling input. I really, really appreciate it. No doubt, I will need to take a closer look and make some sort of determination. :)

Well . . . I like your take. And, as I prepare to set out and begin visiting churches in my area, I hope to find someone knowledgeable, such as yourself, who would like to work together. We've got to be in the world. Practice time here in the Forum is about done. Soon we need to branch out and...

I really appreciate the way you presented the above. Thumbs up.

Not in my area. Stepped in many buildings the inhabitants thought of as church, but it wasn't any church. The building was amazing, but the inhabitants . . . the women looked like strippers. No classes. Nothing going on. Pastors don't mention the Name Jesus from the Pulpit. It's all a show...

Right. But more specifically, what I wasn't taught. Who knows . . . marching forward!

Unbelievable.

Yes, yes, yes. This is starting to come together. But, I have to admit that I am a bit tripped out that I have missed the first Resurrection. You see, this is a great example of the problem of the Christian church: How is it that a dude near 60 years old who has tens of thousands of hours of...

I don't know how I'm able to write this. You just blew my mind all over . . . everywhere. What you are telling me is something I am now hearing for the first time. Holy Mother of Snail Skin. Again, I love these short posts. Give me a couple more passages that we haven't already discussed that...

Difficult. Whew. Well, how about this next one that I am strugging over: Revelation 20:4-5 NLT - 4 Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the...

I see. So, Revelation is not also for us today? Are you saying that the Judgment was in AD 70 and not in our distant future, a Judgment yet to come? Sorry for the naive questions. I appreciate your short and concise answers, by the way. Perfect!

Please share! Where there is Purpose, there is a Plan, and when God's Plan is involved, it's about Power. Who is the audience?

I'm beginning the final four chapters of Revelation, and your post came to mind. I was thinking to myself, do the Jews of 2024 (those who have knowledge of the Bible, specifically, Revelation), believe that John is referencing the Nation of Israel (when referring to Babylon)?

Nice reference to the Law fading away. Do you think that in the following answer by Jesus, that He would be referring to the Temple and not the Law? In a matter of days, Jesus would be hauled away and killed. Three days later, Jesus would rise from the grave and according to the below, "things"...

It would make sense. Babylon almost always relates to captivity, and those partaking in that world order would certainly be under the captivity of Satan, held to do his evil will.

Indeed, indeed. It takes a lot of work to piece together this thing called Eschatology. I'm thrilled that within a few days, I can move on. I will have completed this year long writing project. Burnt . . . . . . out.

That's what the evidence seems to be pointing to! Ezekiel 16:3-43 NLT - 3 Give her this message from the Sovereign LORD: You are nothing but a Canaanite! Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite. 4 On the day you were born, no one cared about you. Your umbilical cord was not cut...

Oh man. My ignorance is shining through. I JUST found the below passage which states that Babylon, too, is considered a "Prostitute." Revelation 17:5 NLT - "A mysterious name was written on her forehead: "Babylon the Great, Mother of All Prostitutes and Obscenities in the World."...
