I want to get back into computer programming, and to learn the features of Java I don't know, and to build software in the language. Although a long time ago, trying to learn Java quickly, I read through several Java trails in one day, I probably did not learn everything I read, but managed to...

I have made notes on four verses in 1 Corinthians 1, not spending much time in doing so, and I may have written down some inaccurate interpretations of some or all of those verses. This is because I don't know the right definition to choose in the Strong's concordance. Based on some previous...

I did not yet look up the meaning of every word in these two verses, but here are my notes for now: I failed to comment on every word and phrase. Are my notes correct so far? Is there something missing from them? I think that some modern translations, and some commentaries, may have...

I don't read the Bible as much as I should, but when I read the KJV, particularly the NT, I struggle to understand each sentence or passage as a single idea. I have enough difficulty understanding its phrasing in some cases. Beyond that, I struggle to hold the content of sentences and of whole...

While many versions of the Bible have been created in modern time, because theologians esteemed it too difficult for readers to grasp the language of the KJV, its language is not a major hindrance to comprehending the text, because readers can use a concordance to learn the words that are not...

To again behold [trochee], it is my hope, for which a long time I have asked of God. But not known to me is any appearing of [trochee] before my eyes, after her departing from me in the hospital, and after the dawning of my yearning to see her a new time. But it is my longing to behold her...

John 3:16-18 The non-elect are condemned because they don't believe? According to Calvinism, theose that believe are already regenerated, and are thus not condemned, either temporally or logically before they have believed. Thus the reason for the condemnation of the non-elect is not lack of...

I could not think of what to write so I just wrote this.

The Book of Romans has the phrase, “and declared to be the son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead”, which I find difficult to comprehend, because I fail to see the meaning of “according to the spirit of holiness”, and what it modifies. The...

I had stopped listening to GES about what they consider the saving message, and have returned to listening to Free Grace preachers who believe in salvation through faith, that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, that He was buried, and that He rose again from the dead the third day, true...

The Bible communicates much about righteousness, and much about the judgment of God, but what does it say on the kingdom that Christ will govern in the end, except that therein is peace, joy, and righteousness? Revelation, it seems, does not say much on this matter.

Is repeating the same words or the same thought over and over when praying to God sinful? Is this vain repetitions? If not, what does the Bible mean by vain repetitions? Does it mean repeating phrases without meaning or repeating phrases without purpose? Is it true that if I pray to God for...

There are times when I find the scriptures more difficult to interpret, regardless of whether I am reading the KJV, or some other version claimed to be much easier to read, and I wonder if I have this problem because of my mental illness, because of inadequate comprehension ability, or because...

In every book of scripture, is there a voice that came from the Holy Spirit, a voice we would do well not to emulate, or did they come from the authors and translators? If the sound of all books in the Bible came truly from the Holy Spirit, how far should we go in shunning to emulate its sound...

Should Christians practice things like deep-breathing and body-scan meditation? If someone practices body-scan meditation, and then tries to use its benefits to live in a godlier manner, benefits like calmness and enhanced self-awareness (I'm not sure but I think that body-scan mediation...

I seem to have been falling into worse sin despite consciously forgiving everyone whom I had not forgiven yesterday and this morning. I did not think that I had not forgiven many people, but there are some people who I was still angry at. Even though I forgave them -- I wanted answer to prayer...

When writing, you are supposed to invent your content, select and arrange your content, draft, revise, and edit, in that order. At some point during the first two steps, you are supposed to choose a purpose and theme. But I always want to edit for style, and thus I just start writing, editing as...
