    Number 666 explained

    These images did not exist in the first century, so they cannot be what the Apostle John was referring to. And there is no historical evidence that John did gematria.

    Views on Romantic Relationships

    I've never read Joshua Harris. I think the Bible has some great principles for courtship, but none for "dating" as I did when I was young and our society (even Christians) encourages. In Christian college the leaders would say, "You gotta have a date for the banquet," and I always wondered why...

    Who is in Charge of Worship

    Good point. Actually our whole lives, every day all day, ought to be done in worship towards God. There are two main verbs in the NT "to worship." One is proskuneo, to physically bow down. The other is latreuo, which is to worship n the sense of "serve" (sometimes translated as "serve"). We...

    Views on Romantic Relationships

    So, Harris taught you can't be saved unless you follow some kind of courtship model?

    Charlie Kirk shot minutes ago

    You guys know what the dangers are of not being careful of what you post online. Here is a partial list of the fallout happening in the US to hateful people who rejoiced over Charlie's death. (As liberal as MSNBC is they even fired one!) Hospital Staffer, Virginia anesthesiologist, social...

    Charlie Kirk shot minutes ago

    The one I shot was a genuine WW1 US Army weapon. Of course back in those days, the early 1970s, that was certainly a deer rifle.

    I get that. We just plinked to see if my roommate would buy it. Enjoyed the experience with the rifle, but you won't get me out there where a bear might attack me! Confused Though I was recently in the Smoky Mountains in a house where a black bear regularly came in the yard to rob their bird...

    Charlie Kirk shot minutes ago

    I'm thinking the assassin felt that guilt, since he discarded his rifle in the woods. But then again he had scratched his manifesto on the shells, so maybe that was planned. Bizarre, either way you look at it. Anyone else ever shot a 30 ought 6? A college roommate wanted to buy one, so we took...

    Some guy with the screen name "Omar Najra Galvz" posted on X the before the shooting, "Something big will happen." https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/us-news/something-big-will-happen-alleged-x-post-before-charlie-kirk-utah-university-uvu-shooting-surfaces-101757541163939.html He will no...

    Charlie Kirk shot minutes ago

    All that could be true, I'm sure. What still puzzles me is where the bullet hit, which right now they are saying was the neck, so his carotid bled out. If the guy was a trained sniper it would have been a head shot at that short distance--in fact it would have been from farther away. Still could...

    Charlie Kirk shot minutes ago

    Yeah, that had to be how it happened. Apparently the guy was on a roof. Maybe he was copying the guy who tried to kill Trump. I'm betting the guy was trained in riflery. They are saying it was a 100 yard shot, so that's nothing for a trained sniper, but for the guy with average training it is...

    Charlie Kirk shot minutes ago

    He had a small one, but to stop that kind of assassination would have taken 100. Even the Secret Service missed the attempt on Trump, and they had the police as well as the SS.
