Seth wrote I just finished reading If Grace is True: Why God Will Save Every Person by Philip Gulley and James Mulholland. I'll save everyone else a read...it's not worth it. Instead of presenting (what I hoped would be) a scriptural case for the doctrine of Christian (?) Universalism, it instead o...

I was just looking up the Genesis 7 & 8 use of the word "earth" on e-sword. The KJV translators interpreted that particular word at other times as "country", "land" or "ground". This seems to definitely leave the door open to a local flood theory. I, like Derek, am still working my way through the d...

Paidion wrote Sad to say, many children who have been taught to believe in the reality of Santa Claus, later in life, put belief in God or Jesus in the same category. You never see either Santa or Jesus. When I was a kid and realized there was no Santa I approached my mom about it. She said his spir...

i'm not sure how safe driving and thinking at the same time is. i have a 40 minute commute, and sometimes i get from point a to b and have no idea what happened in between (usually when i'm thinking). Hey TK, as I'm sure you've found out, getting lost in thought can be a dangerous thing. Allow me t...

I wrote Actually, I've had the exact same consideration myself. I was actually thinking about that possibility again today as a matter of fact. Great minds think alike! Seth wrote I don't really take my suggestion all that seriously. It was just a "standing in the shower, thinking" moment. Mine was ...

Mat 16:27-28 For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." I think John...

I think this quote helps us get a better glimpse into what an ekklesia was. It also made me think more about what Jesus said in Matt 16:18. Could he have been thinking of this type of secular assembly when he said “I will build MY church(ekklesia)”? Of course, ekklesia was also the word that the Se...
