Strong's is out dated and wrong because of the reasons I described in the earlier post.

In Luke's gospel, Jesus is portrayed as being born poor. This is something that some Christians don't like and try to change. Luke 2:23-24 shows Mary giving the sacrifice for purification. Leviticus 12 is where we find the description for this sacrifice. It is only the poor that are to give the...

Ever read Ps 2?

You're welcome

As I was reading and thinking about the Christmas stories, I thought about the phrase, ‘peace on earth’. It makes me think of an old U2 song by that name. The song is a reflection on a bombing in Northern Ireland and how that relates to the idea of ‘Peace on earth’. The song asks, ‘So what’s it...

I totally agree. Much is made of little by many. The Heart Matters.

the word nephilim comes from the word, 'fall'. Literally, nephilim, are 'fallen ones'. What does that mean? There are a number of different interpretations. The expression, 'son of' in the bible can be literal or it can be used metaphorically. Metaphorically it means, that you take on the...

The other day in church I was listening to yet another altar call. The preacher was telling us that Jesus saves. If we have problems with loneliness then we should come to the front because Jesus saves us from our loneliness. If we have problems with anger that is destroying our families then...

The Personal name of God is not Jehovah and that isn't a perversion, it is a mistake. For many hundreds of years the Hebrew version of the Bible wasn't used by the Church. The Greek / Orthodox church used the Greek version and the Roman Catholic church used the Latin version. About the time of...

" Knowing what "sin" and "iniquity" is and avoiding it, should help you on the day of judgement (word) Knowing who Jesus is and what he did for mankind, should help you on the day of judgement(word) Knowing the bible, should help you on the judgement(word) " Well these things will only help...

Where does that leave the British? And Australians ... and New Zealanders ... not sure who else actually has Elizabeth as their Sovereign these days.

What is God's preserved word - certainly not an english VERSION! It is the original languages. Hebrew, Aramiac, Greek. If you follow your arguments, then God has LOTS of preserved words - in each different language.

The Hebrew Bible (OT) has a different order of books to the English Bible. So I don't think the order of books is a big issue. I do think it is helpful to read books, as books, not piecemeal. I also think it is helpful to first be familiar with the gospels, acts then the letters.

Praise God! This is wonderful ... only it doesn't dispute that Jesus died for all men!

Isa 53:6 (ESV) All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned--every one--to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. So we 'all have gone astray' and the Lord has laid on him the 'inquity of us all'. All who went away are the same as those for whom Jesus died!

But how is this letter, written to 'those who have faith', about Israel's history?

And 2 Peter is addressed to who? 2Pe 1:1 Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: those who have obtained a faith - is that israel?

bought out of Egypt? I think they were brought out of Egypt. where does SCRIPTURE ever say they were bought out of Egypt. How about this Isa 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned--every one--to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. So as many as...

2 Peter 2:1 (ESV) But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. So if they deny the Master (Jesus) which...

Have you ever done any serious biblical studies (like Masters / Doctrinal ) research? I don't think you would say this if you really have studied some of the great Christian minds. They disagree on lots of things and have the humility to admit it. It is not for a lack of bible study, or...
