    House of David

    House of David is a "made for Prime Video" series depicting King David in the early years while he was a boy. And I wanted to discuss this series.... The ONLY reason why I am watching it is because members of my Sunday School class have gotten caught up in it. They want to watch David get...

    Fat Teusday

    Fat Teusday is coming! (March 6th) I'm not Catholic nor do I advocate for the Catholic Church. Now where I do NOT advocate being drunk out on the streets of NOLA....tossing beads to young college girls who raise their blouses to show their mamaries. I am an advocate of those square donuts...

    Processed Foods

    Running The Race

    Paul talks about "running the race towards Christ" But running in the Ancient Near East was completely undignified. No respectable Adult ran ever...they walked. The most famous instance of "running" was when Peter ran to the Tomb of Jesus. But... This is the Bible Study forum...

    Cognitive Bias and Dissonance

    We. In the course of time train ourselves to think in particular patterns and mannerisms. We believe things because we must...our friends. Our jobs. Our whole lives are built around our personal logic systems. And we see these things as always being true. Nevermind the facts....we do...

    Biblical Authority

    So.... Apparently this is a thing. Does the church (man) have authority over the Scriptures OR Do the Scriptures have authority over the Church? It's along similar lines of the old question paradox: Does God have a Plan for me? VX What is God's plan and how can I be a part of it?

    Russian Television and Tenet Media

    This is some disgusting stuff. It has been a stalwart of Russian propaganda for a while. These Americans knew what they were doing and didn't care. They just wanted the money. https://x.com/RyanMcbeth/status/1831667763854578097

    Teffillim or Phylacteries.

    There are certain sections of Old Testament Law that stated these words are supposed to be bound to your head and arms....we take this as figurative language but Jews took to mean literally. So there are boxes that are used to do this with. Seen them used myself in my travels. Here is a...

    Populist Viewpoint vs Verified Facts

    Thinking caps are going to be required for this discussion. What popular opinions are different from verified facts? Let's give an example: Many people have an opinion that Jesus was a carpenter. However archeology and history both prove that a construction worker in the places that...

    Another Prophet Like Moses (Fathers Day)

    The Jews were told to watch out for "Another Prophet like Moses" which we know today was a reference to Jesus. So. How was Jesus and Moses similar other than being Jewish? And by critical analysis they led VERY different lives and lifestyles. Moses had two wives, was guilty of murdering an...

    Sepphoris, the Important Unheard City

    So... We hear tons about Jerusalem, Brthsaida, Chorazin, Capernaum, and even Nazareth (a nothing town to this day) But we hear nothing about Sepphoris...and it's importance. Sepphoris was where Joseph and his kids went to work every day. It was a huge Roman/Jewish city that Herod Antipas...

    Grilling Adventures

    It's that time of year.... When a man's heart leans toward lighting a fire and making smoke and of course MEAT and veggies covered in carcinogens to provide smokey goodness. Pork, chicken, and even beef with that mouth watering pink smoke ring and zesty marinades and caramelized glazes...

    To Live is Christ, To Die is Gain?

    What did Paul mean by this? How can a person hold this attitude? How does a person who holds this opinion live this sentiment out in daily life?
