Your trying to bait me into to saying something in an inappropriate forum so that your friend has the necessary excuse to ban me. I'm not taking the bait. Have a nice night.

Adios amigo

Ah, look like the earlier glitch I encountered cleared up. I liked the earlier look in that the fonts were bigger. As we get older our ocular acuity diminishes and us older folks appreciate that sort of accommodation.

Well, I think that one might expect that Paul would take a somewhat different tact when speaking to Greeks or Jews. A good communicator will adjust to his audience and he said as much elsewhere. When talking to the Greeks he was talking to those almost completely unfamiliar with the story of...

Shelly's husband was a Fabian socialist with a society named after him. I had read once that Frankenstein was written as a warning/critique of the end result of their machinations concerning what it was they were trying to create. Here's a little background...

While I would be happy to hold forth on the subject of Dispensationalism I am not an adherent of said doctrine and, if I understand what I read of Knight's sticky correctly, I fear I would at some point run afoul of it here and that is not my intent. Perhaps discussing the subject in a less...

The fact that those that died for the word of God are to be singled out for special treatment is not a core tenet of any denomination that I am aware of I find fascinating in that one would think that the resurrections of mankind would be one of the more important if not the most important facet...

As per request I would like to take a look at a subject that I've seldom heard talked about but which, for me, is endlessly fascinating. The first time I read Rev 20 I was taken aback. Though I grew up agnostic, still, Christianity was so much a part of our American culture, particularly in the...

You and your friend are not reading my offerings to gain an understanding of what I am saying. You are parsing it for the purpose of disputing it regardless of what I say. I am not here for that. Rom 14: Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 2For one...

As it regards your first question the short answer would be "no". I would have hoped that was obvious when I related my 10 year attempt to seek prosecution of crime at my locale. I was an integral part of an effort that saw my county move thru 3 judicial districts and 5 District Attorneys to no...

To me the whole question is something of a quandary. On the one hand we are called to seek righteousness and on the other we are called to be merciful by the same Word. How do we reconcile these two directives? Indeed, much of the contention between those that believe the Bible revolves around...

oops! we ran into some problems.

Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord. Are you the Lord?

Let's hope you never find yourself in need of forgiveness and mercy as it is abundantly clear you are unwilling to offer it and, being without sin, are not in need of it in your own estimation if your offering is any indication.

You know, I used to feel the same way about such situations until I read and embraced the Bible. Prior to Jesus it was "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Upon His arrival He ushered us from spiritual childhood into puberty when He said "Let he who hath no sin cast the first stone" and...

...and then there's Alex. I have never understood why interviewers continually interrupt their guests mid point and try to steer the conversation where they want it to go if they are genuinely interested in what they have to say in the first place.

Well, that didn't age very well. Anyone who hasn't seen The Plandemic parts one and two needs to. It's literally a matter of life and death.

Hello dear, hope all is well with you

I am much less contentious now than I have been in the past and was happy to accept the rejection of my offering as an indicator that the time was not yet ripe for it. The only reason I mentioned it was to offer an illustration of what I feel drives the waning attendance at sites like these.

The word translated from the Greek as dispensation is accorded this definition in the Strong's concordance: 3622. oikonomia oy-kon-om-ee'-ah from 3623; administration (of a household or estate); specially, a (religious) "economy":--dispensation, stewardship. Said another way it's an office...
