    CRYPTOCURRENCY AND THE LORD

    Crypto is precisely linked to the US Dollar without much space between. As such it has primarily used by criminals as a medium of exchange. It's NOT legal tender. It's a boutique money that costs a minimum of 25% service fee for use at the few places that accept it. It's something a...

    What does Long Term Cannabis Use Do to the Body?

    Being chemical dependent has far reaching effects.... I have witnessed this first hand through a relative who has used Marijuana all of his adult life. And the result is that he can no longer cognitively process any emotions properly anymore. Not joy, not grief, nor anger. He is an...

    GJohn 1.18

    To what end? Trying to disprove the Trinity? God the Father God the Son God the Holy Spirit 3 in one. Not modalism Not pantheism Trinity....that's it. If you want it to be something else you are in the wrong place.

    GJohn 1.18

    The mosaic was from a 1st century Church in Israel. Apparently you are wrong. They very much did believe that Jesus is God.

    CRYPTOCURRENCY AND THE LORD

    Only for a while.... They have a half-life as well. Meaning that half of the world's supply of silver currency becomes lost, destroyed , or irretrievable and is gone in 25 years. Same is true of gold. Both are industrial metals as well as jewelry. Gold is used for circuit boards and...

    CRYPTOCURRENCY AND THE LORD

    There's an aspect to this currency that is not usually taken into consideration. It is a fiat currency but not legal tender. But all mediums of exchange have a half life....that includes silver, gold, and especially crypto currency. Crypto currency is exceptionally fragile as it only...

    CRYPTOCURRENCY AND THE LORD

    It is the currency of drug pushers, prostitutes, slave trade, and terrorism. I want nothing to do with it. They are the ones who use it the most as it's untraceable medium of exchange. Very fragile as well as its just digits on a memory stick. Also full of fraud.

    GJohn 1.18

    Early Church did believe that Jesus was indeed God (new discovery of a mosaic floor of a church unearthed in Israel where they were going to put a new prison wing) which says just that. So...aside from that. What John is referring to is one of many "word pictures" that were the stock and...

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN WIVES ARE TO BE OBEDIENT TO THEIR HUSBANDS?

    You need to go back and read the scriptures. This is in Hebrew because it's Old Testament. And it was before he built his house/palace. The timeline is not that difficult to understand. The preceeding scriptures makes it clear.

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN WIVES ARE TO BE OBEDIENT TO THEIR HUSBANDS?

    Actually, yes men and women are equals in marriage. Jesus deliberately pointed this out THREE TIMES. Woman with an issue of blood Woman at the Well Mary and Martha.

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN WIVES ARE TO BE OBEDIENT TO THEIR HUSBANDS?

    Someone needs to actually visit Jerusalem to know what they are talking about. Also.... The prelude to this is a Qual (type of Hebrew clause) that directly explains why David was in the wrong place at the wrong time....IE: he should have been elsewhere.

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN WIVES ARE TO BE OBEDIENT TO THEIR HUSBANDS?

    Enough that you started this thread asking the questions you asked. Try a modern translation and do it again.

    Thanksgiving

    Just as a bit of humor to interject.... I got somewhere between 30-40 family members and friends showing up Thursday. Should be the normal chaos and fun all at the same time.

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN WIVES ARE TO BE OBEDIENT TO THEIR HUSBANDS?

    Your issue is the use of KJV without actually understanding 17th century English.

    Tips on how to memorize bible verses?

    Write offs.... Just like punishments when you were a child. Joshua 1:8 Do not let this book of the Law depart from your mouth, meditate upon it day and night so that you might be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. I did write offs of the...

    Concerned about cancer...

    In this neighborhood.... There was no water, sewer, or electricity available when this house was built. We know where the well was once upon a time. Also the septic. Power came after TVA. But this area doesn't have TVA. When water and power became available after WW2 and there was a...

    What Is The Difference Between Liberal, Conservative and Fundamentalist Christians?

    Hebrews does differentiate between two but it again is addressing a different crowd than John does. James, Jude, Matthew, and Hebrews all are directed at Jewish believers. Not Gentiles. So...we are NOT Jewish or raised in a Jewish home. We are more Gentiles than Ancient Near East Semetic...

    What Is The Difference Between Liberal, Conservative and Fundamentalist Christians?

    I was thinking today.... (I know...scary proposition). Since we are having a difficult time classifying or determining the boundaries of various groups of Christians.... Let's "go back to formula". There are TWO different scriptures that describe believers. One is the Parable of the Soils...
