Hummm, is there a way to indent a paragraph after the recent re-formating of the forum software? ~~~~~~~~ It is interesting that in the Hebrew Scriptures, wisdom is personified as a woman. Wisdom cries aloud in the street, in the markets she raises her voice; at the head of the noisy streets...

Ken, the Lord has used mere men in the past: he can probably even use a rascal like Donald Trump. However, we can trust in God and hope the men God placed in positions of power over us will execute plans which we believe will help us all. My expectations are rather low. In any case, we live in...

MY GUESS: Kennedy is an arranged distraction, a red herring, planned as a pre-inauguration diversion, freeing other nominees temporarily from media coverage. Then, once Trump is installed as President and as the swamp is beginning to be drained, there will be insider stories of corruption and...

I actually think that the democrats make Trump's election more likely than not. The constant charges against him made it increasingly obvious that something smelled fishy. It became "Who should I believe?"; Trump or the Democrat and their trained media? When Biden took the stage and began...

My wife has a cousin who is fanatical democrat. She posted a tearful, "end of the world" post when Hillary Clinton lost the election years ago. We were anticipating a similar post yesterday but she turned contemptuous instead. But Nancy Peloci didn't disappoint...she fell apart during Kamala...

Walton, John H. 2024. The Lost World of the Prophets: Old Testament Prophecy and Apocalyptic Literature in Ancient Context. Lost World Series. Downers Grove, IL: IVP Academic: An Imprint of InterVarsity Press. p. 13, 15. Readers familiar with the Old Testament will recognize that, in Israel...

In one of the most thought provoking books I've read this year, Old Testament scholar John H. Walton notes 7 stages in the development of the Old Testament prophetic books. Eric Tully delineates seven stages in the movement from prophetic word to prophetic book. He identifies these stages as...

I weeded out many books from my library that I found to be of little worth. I've never owned a "Red Letter" bible, with one exception, a small booklet in the section of my library devoted to Bibliology. The Words in Red, The Teaching of Christ Compiled. Compiled by Michael Q. Pink and...

The passage in Ephesians concerns how Christians should behave (walk). 4:15 Look carefully then how you walk... 4:21 submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. 4:25 ...we are members on of another. 4:29 ...give grace to those who hear. 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted...

I began listening to a book on Audible recently and enjoyed it so much I purchased the book for my library. Daily Doctrine, A One-Year Guide to Systematic Theology, by Kevin DeYoung [link] The book arrived yesterday and the hardback is simply beautiful. It is designed the way books should be...

Hummm, I read something about this last month (maybe in "Abraham's Silence"?) but I didn't make a note. Word Biblical Commentary (page 344) reads: This verse is unusually difficult, presenting questions of a textual, grammatical, and lexical character. Consequently, any translation must remain...

Are you saying that the wide dissemination of God’s word in a variety of translations is the caused churches to become ineffective? God has gifted his people with a variety of skills that the whole body of believers can effectively utilize. The failure to utilize, to learn, to advance, to...

CHRISTIAN ANSWERS of Austin, Texas. Vol. II, Number 4 The Unlearned and Men: The True Genealogy and Genesis of King James Version Onlyism by Doug Kutilek [link]

Somehow as I’ve aged, so has my view of when creation might have occurred. It’s at least 40 years older than when I first made a guess. I was looking at a list of books today. One of them was called, “The Message of Creation”. I didn’t purchase the book but it got me to thinking, There have...

The question was once asked if one could be a Christian without believing in the Trinitarian nature of God. I believe that the answer to that question and the question you asked are quite similar; One who professes the know Jesus can do so without knowing about the Trinity or believing the...

Hi, John, R.A. Torrey authored the quote. I originally posted the text (post #30) to demonstrate an early 20th century orthodox position. The link should take you to the book. Rob I have said that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as originally given were absolutely inerrant, and...

But I wonder... You see I'm not saying that extra-biblical revelation occurs. In that respect I am a cessationist. God certainly will not annul any previous revelation and he won't provide additional revelation more than that obtained through the knowledge of Jesus Christ (Heb. 1:2). But God...

I tend to agree with you JD. But I'm not a cessationalist. And I'm not convinced by the few passages that are often used to promote cessationalism. Yet I do not believe that what is found in many Pentecostal churches are biblical gifts of the Spirit (granted, my experience is quite limited)...

(1) In this forum, both men and women participate with equal status. A participant has a choice whether they want to reveal their gender or not. (2) This isn't a men's locker room. These "squabbles" that you mention would would not happen in a variety of different settings. (3) The close...
