I always thought the "word of God" here meant the Bible. At least that's what I was always taught, I believe. Think the author was talking about the Spirit of Christ, i.e. the Word? Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to...

I forget if I asked this before, so I'll put it up. Is the holy Spirit the Spirit of Christ? 1Pe 1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 1Pe 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of...

The greetings of the letters. Rom 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, Rom 1:7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1Co 1:1 Paul...

Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) beginnings: Seventh-day Adventists trace their origins to the teachings of the American preacher William Miller (1782-1849), who preached that the second coming, or "advent" of Jesus was imminent. (Miller said Jesus would come back on October 18, 1844)...

Another one a few here have seen, but a good story nonetheless. Lol! :) About 14 years ago, I was living with Christian roomates in an apt. I ended up being out of work (a situation which God used, lol) and wasn't going to be able to pay the rent. The HS told me to ask one of my roommates if...

Some have already seen this, but, I've never posted it here so... here it is. :D About 15 years ago, the Holy Spirit began nudging me to go to the mall to buy some jeans. I was about 25 at the time, and, I liked nice clothes like any other 25 year old, but, I resisted the idea, because I...

When I was 5 I asked Jesus to come into my heart. I remember it vividly. But of course, we don't understand too much at that age, so, my calling (back) came when I was 23. I was living in a friend's warehouse where a rock band that I sang for also practiced. Living the wannabe rockstar...

Mat 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Mat 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Mat 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till...

Just came across this in a commentary today. In Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, he says he wrote them a letter before that one (which would mean there was 1 Cor, 2 Cor, and 3rd Cor, lol) 1Co 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: And he apparently...

I see the argument frequently. The 10 tribes went North and West after their Babylonian captivity, and ended up in what we know today as Europe. From there they spread to America, Canada, Australia, and South Africa(?). Today those countries have the most purchasing power (see link below)...

Isa 60:10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee. Isa 60:11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring...

Jesus said that when he came back, he would destroy the husbandmen (rulers) who looked after his vineyard, take the kingdom of God from them, and give it to someone else. Forty years later, the husbandmen were killed when the Roman armies destroyed Jerusalem. Thus, Jesus must have come back...

Lol. This is funny. (I think, lol) Psa 89:20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: Psa 89:21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. Psa 89:22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. Psa...

I was wondering if Satan always ruled the earth since the fall, but, I dunno! Lol. Old Testament times Gen 24:3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I...

Rev 13:11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the land, and it had two horns, like a lamb, and it was speaking as a dragon, Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose...

Mar 13:1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! Mar 13:2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown...

Luk 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Times (Strong's) G2540 καιÃÂÌ kairos kahee-ros' Of uncertain affinity; an...

I'm using Young's Literal Translation here (other translations say "earth" in place of "land"). Isa 24:1 Lo, Jehovah is emptying the land, And is making it waste, And hath overturned it on its face, And hath scattered its inhabitants. Isa 24:2 And it hath been--as a people so a priest, As...

The voice of many waters? Sometimes in Revelation "waters" means people. You think that's what that means? Rev 14:2 And I heard a voice out of heaven, like a voice of many waters and like a voice of great thunder, and the voice which I heard [was] like harpists harping with their harps...
