Ghost and Spirit are the same word in the original language. It is only a translator's preference that King James borrowed from earlier translations. (The Bishops and Geneva translations do the same.) Generally, if the word is prefixed with "Holy", then it is translated "Ghost" (except in Psalm...

While self-publishing is cheaper and easier in some ways, it is much harder to sell a lot of copies. I've sold 46 paperback copies of my first book, published in 2013.

I beat you... :woot2 ...by one!

The minimum price allowed by CreateSpace mainly depends on the number and size of the pages. My book is only 92 pages at 5.5 by 8.5 inches. Even though a larger page size would reduce the number of pages (given the same size print), it would also change the cost of the book significantly. My...

I haven't looked at the other videos, but the ones in the first video are not alive. You can do this with any kind of very light, thin fiber. Air flow is causing them to move. There is already some air flow in the room, but the lamp is probably causing significant additional rising air flow in...

The path to greater faith is to know God better, for how can you trust someone you don’t know, and how can you trust someone more if you don’t know him more? For the last 9 years I've kept a journal of my Bible readings. I keep track of each date, passage, and thing I've discovered. My primary...

The "present" of Romans 12:1 ties back to the present's of Romans 6... ... 12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from...

At physical death, the spirit separates from the body. The spirit immediately goes to be with Christ, but the body waits until the resurrection. In one Star Trek TNG episode, Warf said after he dies he wouldn't care what happens to his body for it would be just an "empty husk" (or something...

…for the anger of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God. – James 1:20 It’s a familiar verse… one that is easy, in hindsight, to apply to the rash actions of a believer who has let his temper fly with disastrous results. Those who have a temper problem may acknowledge the truth of this...

People will do anything to avoid having to stand before Christ and give an account of themselves. It won't work: if you don't die of old age, you'll die of something else. (Hebrews 9:27) And even if it were possible, how would over-population be handled? Would there be forced euthanasia for the...

And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. - Genesis 1:31a (ASV) And yet He left not himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness. - Acts 14:17 (ASV) Paul said that...

Take thy share in suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. - 2 Timothy 2:3 (JND) It is not our purpose to seek out suffering, but neither is it to avoid it. It is jokingly said that one thing you should not pray for is patience, because if you do, God is going to send all sorts of calamity...

I had only recently discovered this biblical reference to what leaven is. It is mentioned in the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, and probably elsewhere. (Here's another reference from a Jewish perspective...

Leaven in the Bible was a form of sour-dough - a bit of dough from the last batch that was used to seed the next batch. They didn't have plain yeast back in those days. Once a year, at Passover, they got rid of the old sour-dough. That was part of the old covenant which the Jews were under, but...

(another older one...) But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” - Genesis 3:4-5 (ESV) It seems that man has always wondered what it would be like to be like...

Must be real easy to get standing-room only! I saw a similar church between Niagara Falls and Niagara On The Lake. If I remember correctly, it had only two pews, but they were longer and ran lengthwise from back to front with the aisle between them. It also claims to be the world's smallest...

All of today's races come through Noah and his wife. If those two can contain the genetic material for many races, then so can Adam and Eve.

Reading the op title, I thought: "Hmmm... why does my wife want me to love her?"

The Genesis 2 account is a more detailed and focused version of the Genesis 1 account. Genesis 2:5 rewinds time a bit to before plants and before man. Then it gives a more detailed account of the summary in Genesis 1:26-27. If there are two races of man, then you run into problems: Adam and Eve...

I've read through my Bible many times, and every time I go through, it's like someone adding something new that wasn't there before. Here are some of the things I do with my reading: It helps to keep a journal of your reading. I keep track of my daily reading using a Word document with the...
