Re: Cleansing of the Temple

John's Gospel deliberately avoids overlapping material found in the Synoptics. With the exception of the feeding of the five thousand and Jesus walking on water (and, of course, His own resurrection), all the miracles of Jesus recorded in the Synoptics are omitted from John. John contains none of th...

Re: Death is Precious to the Lord

I think the word "precious" (Heb. yaqar ), in this context, means "costly" (see its use in 2 Sam.12:30; 1 Kg.10:2, 10, 12; Kg.10:2, 10, 11; Proverbs.3:15; Ezek.27:22; 28:13). There are not enough righteous men and women on the planet, and the loss of even one (though inevitable) is nonetheless costl...

Re: multi site church?

So i have an uneasiness about 'one church- many locations' but my personal uneasiness is no barometer of what is healthy. Have any of you have any thoughts about this? Why not send out people to plant a local church elsewhere? Are small groups that happen within a larger body multi-site? Isn't it t...

Re: Exodus - Tent of Testimony

I think this was done later. It is therefore being mentioned out of chronological order in Chapter 16.

A 12 year-old girl seeks answers about LGBT ideology

This is correspondence that I received and answered yesterday. Though the question was that of a twelve-year-old, I did not answer at the level of someone that age, but to her father, leaving it to him to communicate the concepts at her level, depending on the maturity and intelligence of his own da...

Re: Responding to gay Christian friends

Hi Heb1125, I am not acquainted with the gay individuals mentioned by the inquirer, and they do not know me, I assume. The letter I wrote was for the benefit of the Christian straight woman who inquired how one might respond to an invitation to attend the wedding of gay friends. I was in no position...

Re: General Question about various beliefs held by various people

It is hard to say why some people choose the theological options that they do. I assume that they think the Bible teaches their doctrines. Obviously, if someone has reached wrong conclusions, there has been something wrong in their reasoning process—even if they are reasoning, as they think, from sc...

Re: Christians and the Covid Vaccine

I appreciate the comments of Dan (Backwoodsman), Darin and of Dwight on this topic. I have not had time to participate in the discussion, but I agree with the positions they have posted. I am actually surprised at the position Homer is defending. Homer, it doesn't seem like you to support tyranny, o...
