    Regarding the matter of EV's

    A hybrid works by generating electricity and filtering that electricity through a set of batteries of some sort to power electric motor(s). So you can move without fuel....just not very far. There exists either a single electric motor or one per wheel. (One per wheel has a LOT more...

    Biblical Authority

    Because of cognitive biases which lump them all together. Which essentially is prejudice. You are much more familiar with European Catholics which are radically different from American Catholics. Even Asian Catholics are different from other Catholics and the same goes for African Catholics...

    Biblical Authority

    Currently we have several denominations claiming that their churches have authority over scriptures. Methodists (they are still splitting over this) Catholics, Episcopalians, and Greek Orthodox (and a few others) are claiming they have authority which supercedes scriptures. Two have gone so...

    Regarding the matter of EV's

    Yes.... Overcomplication is very much a problem with new vehicles. Anyone looking to own a vehicle for decades instead of trading it in every few years knows to get a stripped down moden with as few features as possible. Because extras always break or need repairs. Power windows never last...

    When Jesus Came out the Grave, he was Born Again.

    "Born from Above" is the proper translation instead of "born again" and Jesus is the most predicted life in the Old Testament....just like Nicodemus was predicted by prophesy. Which made them both under the heading and classification of "born from above". Which is a backhanded way of saying...

    Filling in Scriptural Blanks

    Where did this come from? I've never seen this translated this way before.

    Filling in Scriptural Blanks

    Ok... Yes there are different words used. Hebrew itself is a metaphorical language....meaning a verb based language using metaphors. Every word is a description of a scenario. The idea is difficult for those who have used a noun/object based language their entire lives. We see the word...

    Filling in Scriptural Blanks

    Yes.... You can "bara" a stone table, a wood table, a straw table, a water table.... But you can't "bara" a table without a material to make it from. Its a type of part of speech not in existence in English. A type of prepositional verb that demands a material. There's an implied "out of"...

    Filling in Scriptural Blanks

    Nope....it happens but it shouldn't. The first sentence in Genesis is not a complete sentence....it has been forced into being a complete sentence but it's a hanging preposition by the root "bara" demanding a material for the heavens and earth to be made from. But none is listed...

    Does the inclusion of the Sabbath prove that the Ten Commandments were for Israel alone?

    The word "Sabbath" means to cease. It is singular in the decalogue...FOR A REASON. It is the ending of the covenant and the installation of a New Covenant....one not focused on race as that would make God a racist. But a Covenant with the WHOLE WORLD. that whosoever believes will not...

    Biblical Authority

    John 1:14. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among men. Jesus is the very embodiment or manifestation of God's word. Sorry but I'm not going to differ on this and claim that man or the church has authority over scriptures.

    Ultimately, it's not a matter of who is right and who is wrong... (?)

    When it comes to matters of ordinances there can be a huge amount of grace extended. IE whether or not holding out your pinky finger when drinking from a cup with a handle.... However, The Jesus who died to give us license to sin or the Deity Jesus who died to extend grace to atone for our...

    What Are Basic Skills Every Adult Should Have?

    Critical analysis skills are an absolute must and sorely lacking. For example most people today can't identify the types of propaganda or its purposes and how that is distinctly different from true news and information. Many have issues with understanding what news actually means or the...

    Ultimately, it's not a matter of who is right and who is wrong... (?)

    Titus 1:16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good. So we have a LOT of people who are the poster children of this verse.

    Proving Jesus Is God With The New World Translation Bible

    The JW Bible is one of the worst translations to date. The Jehova Witnesses have always denied the diety of Jesus and many other essential Christian Doctrines. The Jehova Witnesses created their own translation called the New World translation so they could edit it to conform to their specific...

    How to get God to use you.

    Ummmm.... Prima fascia.... Face value. It's not complicated or difficult or with some other meaning. I mean exactly what I said. God isn't on holiday....

    How to get God to use you.

    So..... You are saying you don't see?
  19. JohnDB

    How to get God to use you.

    I'm not exactly sure what there is to argue about. Blessed are the holy of heart for they shall see God. So if you see God then you see God working. So then you conform yourself to HIS plan. Bingo bango bongo....you get used.

    Why I hate the Bible... Or so they say?

    1) God's gift and Word for us. 2)none, people always find a way to license evil 3) 10 4) Too many to write here....Chicago Statement on Inerrancy is a good starter. 2Tim3:16 for inspiration. English is the WORST Receptor language for most donor languages. Hebrew is the worst Donor language...
