    Ancient Hebraic

    To explain a joke or my humor: Background context, I've been excited from my studies in Paleo Hebrew. Paleo Hebrew is an ancient language, long story short the writings I'm fascinated by appear on cave walls, stones, animal skins, clay pottery, etc. The ancients are considered by Evolutionist...

    Ancient Hebraic

    Nice, you'll be my go-to guy John for Hebrew questions or help. I actually found the Paleo comforting, because I realized that before Babel... well, there really might have been the universal language serving as a kind of Q Document (Gnostic Hypothesis). Articles such as these I find...

    Ancient Hebraic

    I'm not nor do I want to be a teacher. If somebody asks for a reference, I'm happy to suggest a good book. Whatever they do or do not do w/ it is on them. I can't control nor do I care to control what others believe anymore. I'd rather dissocialize from the critics especially the ones w/ a...

    Ancient Hebraic

    I've been studying Paleo Hebraic now for a little over a year along w/ Sephardic Hebrew. At the point now when translating modern Hebrew into ancient Hebraic allows to understand the meaning because each letter is pictographic combined w/ other words begins to form a story and in its completed...

    The one "true church"

    For somebody to say RCC doctrine is the only true doctrine is like me saying all outside Calvinism are apostate. The Nicene Creed concerning the universal catholic church professes the bare essentials. Personally, I won't try to beat somebody over the head w/ my doctrine w/ eloquent speech. I'd...

    The one "true church"

    Some believe in G-d and fall today under the Noahide Covenant (all live under the universal seven laws). Some are called into the Abrahamic Covenant of faith, some Sinai (law, precepts, and statutes), and some have confessed and repented throughout the OT-NT covenantal tree that expands both...

    The one "true church"

    The Nicene Creed, the profession of the body of believers is enough (3rd paragraph). Shouldn't be necessary to emphasize this while addressing mature believers, but we don't believe the Creed because it is from the churches but because the Creed is truthful pointing to who G-d and the church is...

    I'm thinking of another topic now that's really beating a dead horse. The subject will be the institution and modes of Baptism, undoubtedly volumes have already been written on sprinkling and/or/verses emersion. The point is not to settle the argument, but the topic will in summation cover both...

    Over the weekend I republished my website and began writing to help stay mentally active throughout the Winter. I enjoy the web work and writing on topics and subjects, here's my latest writeup: Bridging the Gap: Concrete Symbols Behind Abstract Divine Attributes - Isaiah School

    Ai is the liberal tool for the fool

    Observe the "howevers", and logical fallacies ad populum. And the lack of straight answers. I can ask whether my Jeep has a starter, and the answer is, yes....

    In the context if the Bible, is the word 'believe' the same as "faith'?

    Yes, if you believe the scriptures then the object of faith is believed in trust and confidence in the object of our faith, that is, G-d. Faith to me is believing G-d by His Word when there is no reason "to believe". In other words, if it takes a convincing argument to substantiate your belief...

    Self defense and security teams?

    Then either way there is no action. The churches actions are limited here under national government. Most churches today happily abolish the Judicial system. Ancient Israel appealed to their rulers at times (Egypt, Babylon etc), and in the NT over the very matters concerning Jesus. The church...

    Self defense and security teams?

    Especially if within the church. Then pray for forgiveness for what was left undone. :rolleyes: And leave it undone. We are to appeal to the civil magistrates. That was a common theme throughout the Scriptures. Jesus conveyed to about the unjust ruler etc., which in his time too illustrated the...

    Self defense and security teams?

    I understand, and personally believe the worst atrocities are committed in the church because when the church sins, the sins are made in the name of G-d. I do believe our battle is spiritual, but because Paul used metaphorical military terms in the spiritual realm doesn't mean our battles are...

    Self defense and security teams?

    To believe that church history would be denied, early Reformers condemned the popes at the time as the anti-Christ. Were their rulers limited to within the body of Christ? What about the Emperor Nero? Another many believed and condemned to be the anti-Christ. Christians are warned throughout...

    Self defense and security teams?

    I appreciate you @JonC addressing Ephesians 6:12 in the "spiritual realm" context. The Apostle Paul is using military metaphors and addresses our day-to-day struggles. There are of course exceptions, for example, when our physical existence is not only threatened but actually harmed. In these...

    Self defense and security teams?

    I can't stand the "hand on hip pacifist", their passive aggressiveness, and the pacifism that affects most of Christendom today. One of the difficult things about referring to the Old Testament as the "Old" is that the historic military nature and heritage of Israel is often "spiritualized"...

    Obama attacks Christianity

    Crusades were a result of no separation of church and state among secular rulers. Obama's beliefs are no different than secularism and violate the minimum universal Noahide laws all humanity is under. Slavery and Jim Crow were both the result of political Democrats influencing churches w/...

    Obama attacks Christianity

    I do not believe in Obama's Jesus nor follow him. Some suggest Obama in the video was compelling everybody to be more tolerant and to compromise. He succeeded during his Presidency and destroyed the nucleus of America, the family. Obama not only redefined America but also the family and...
