In the KJV the translators have changed the meaning of "hā·’ă·ḏā·māh" which has embedded within the Hebrew word used in this verse, the Hebrew root word H:0127 which has the meaning of "soil," to "of the earth" and "upon the earth." I have just expressed "hā·’ă·ḏā·māh" differently to what you...

No not really. I just consider your wisdom to be WPB worthy.

ScottA, I trust you are also taking your own advice.

That IMHO is a very poor translation. Back in 2005, I had considered this passage from Romans and after considering the interlinear and prophecies concerning Israel, I penned the following in the footnote: - Romans 11:25-27: - 25 Lest you be wise in your own conceits, I want you to understand...

Context, context and more context is required. Isaiah 24:21-23: - 21 It shall come to pass in that day That the Lord will punish on high the host of exalted ones, And on the face of the land the kings of the face of the land. 22 They will be gathered together, As prisoners are gathered in the...

In the channel country out western Qld, flood records have been rewritten. Rises where cattle would gather to move out of the floods, had a metre or more of water above those rises. They are talking of cattle loses in the hundreds of thousands. Last year during the party verses party forum...

You are right, the intent is for the "Women's only forum" to be benign, but will it remain benign?

Perhaps a better understanding of just this verse would be: - Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land/earth: for great shall be the day of Jezreel/God's sowing. When God begins...

I agree with you, but the consequence was that that forum was closed down because of the intransience of some members who wanted to shut down an opposing POV. I can only assume that the stresses of operating a forum became too much for the owner. My mentioning of that forum's demise was only...

Yes, but most churches are small and can only afford a few staff, i.e. one pastor, to care for the needs of the members. A large church needs more "pastors" which is often a collection of smaller groups/churches which operates under one banner/senior administrating pastor. Depending on the...

Are you suggesting that there are not any scary women on this forum who are not kind or domineering? My experience is that there are. The question that is difficult to answer is, "How do you encourage the scary people to change without offending them so that they do not resort to lawyers and...

No, I was just pointing out that equality of the sexes does not exist on this forum otherwise the moderators would have created a men's only forum as well, at the same time. Whether or not the "male only" forum would become "successful" should not have been considered. The question that comes...

Presenting an SDA Sunday School teaching as being reliable and simple is only true because it leads many astray. Goodbye Hobbie.

When posters in these threads are not able to see the spiritual entities behind the events that have happened, then their "opinions" are usually not their own but are expressions of these spiritual entities that have fallen and rebelled against God of their 'own' understanding. Satan has...

Did I say 'disgraceful?' Oh yes, I did, but it was a page or two back in this thread and I had to go back to find out that I had used this word. Oh well. So be it.
