Well I took a round-a-bout trip in my biblical studies to Hosea yesterday. I’ve been developing a study of 1 Timothy for a future class. In 1 Timothy 1:7-8, it mentions the law, “desiring to be teachers of the law” [1:7] and “the law is good” [1:8]. So I began by researching the law of Moses...

The local church I've been recently attending plans to hire a faithful deacon (without any formal theological education) as an assistant pastor. That lead me to study Paul's letters to Timothy recently. I've been working through 1 Timothy 2 for the past week; portions of which might be directed...

The Late, Great, Hal Lindsey. RIP They still print his book. It was quite a popular Christian Sci-fi book. LOL Rob

I agree with you Darrell. I enjoy sci-fi but I there haven’t been any good Christian sci-fi novels for a long time. What do I think the reasons for that is? 1) Christian authors may feel restricted by theology, feeling they have to maintain a correct theology or express a particular doctrine...

Recently a pastor of my Retirement Community taught a series entitled, "Jesus in the Old Testament." At the very first session, he noted that the title was designed to draw a crowd; it was actually incorrect. He delineated that Jesus is the incarnation ("made human") of the Son of God. Jesus...

Prosecutors are not going to go away so easily. Many large cities that went for Harris contain the justice systems for the States. The Dem's hounded him during his presidency last time, they'll continue to hound him now. One by one the Dems will attempt to embarrass vulnerable Republicrats so...

Some scattered thoughts: (1) So if one day after working for your boss, he said he had a revelation from God, "If you want to keep working for me you'll have to 'snip'". I'd guess Abraham's servants had a faith of a type too. (2) I find it strange that we consider circumcision to be an...

I recognized Dr. Seuss as soon as I saw the title: I’ve got a few grandkids that I read to. Nice pic too! So you’ve gone digital! Before too long you might bring a digital Bible to church! I’ve gone digital with my Bible for years. If I could only wiggle my ears I might get it to turn to a...

No, quite the opposite. His commands, his decrees, his promises, those attributes that emanate from his character, don't change (Ps 119:89; Isa 40:8...) But we also observe that God relationship with mankind does change; these changes are based upon those unchanging attributes (noted above)...

Rye, your title "anthropomorphic language" was appropriate. that is certainly what we have here. Kyredneck, I actually copied your response into my notes - it's a keeper! Van, your points #2,#3 are a bit off - There are many places where Scripture is difficult to understand. In places where...

I just finished: Scribal Secrets: Extraordinary Texts in the Torah and Their Implications. James S. Diamond, Robert Goldenberg, and Gary A. Rendsburg. 2019. Jewish scholars discussing technical aspects of the Hebrew Scriptures that cannot be translated: when it was written and what it means...

I made a note to myself about this just last week. Divine Attribute: immutability, unchangeable, the concept that God is not subject to change in his nature, essence, attributes, consciousness or will. Freedom from change, being the same at all times, past, present and future. It distinguishes...

A FOLLOW-UP for those who have prayed for Kylie. Every three months Kylie has follow-up scans at Pittsburg's Children's Hospital to check for reoccurrence of her cancer. It's been almost a year since she finished her last chemo dose. She had her scan today, results are pending. Kylie is...

I'd guess that the pastor has changed things up for a reason. I've heard it said that the age of the pastor affects the age of the congregation; a young pastor will draw a young crowd. I'd presume that the age of the people that perform before the congregation have the same effect. Perhaps...

I only recently moved out of Bucks County, PA (late January 2023). It is a county that is about 50% Rep's & Dem's. - somewhat like the demographics of the state as a whole. Republican's tend to lean liberal in the county (e.g. Congressional Representative Brian Fitzpatrick - Bucks County) only...

That sort of the definition of the word, "thesis"! When you are young and learning the basics, your regurgitate facts. As you progress in your learning, you begin to organize those facts and learn how they function in reality. Later, (when you begin to realize that reality is much more...

Logos Bible Software recently converted to a subscription format. All books and all features you have had are still available but any future upgrades (particularly the development of various AI features) will not be available without a subscription. I made the switch a few weeks ago and have...

Home ec would be a good thing for all students...call it "Introduction to Life Practices." How many boy's don't know how to wash (and fold) their own clothes? ...how to organize their finances? ...how to fix a leaky faucet? I've got three son-in-laws and only one knows such basics. (I'm still...
