All this talk back and forth about salvation got me to thinking...........do we even know what "salvation" is? What is salvation to you? Is is something absolute or relative? Can the definition of it change? Sometimes it helps to start with the basics.

There is a generous man who has a tree in his garden that produces food all year round. So much so that he has no need for any other food from different sources, because his tree never stops producing food. No one else in the world has a tree like his, and the tree only is capable of growing...

Another thread prompted this discussion. So I figured we could begin by knowing what exactly hell is. What is it? Was it created, or did it always exist? Who goes there? Why do they go there? I think we often don't like to talk about it for some reason, but sometimes it's nessesary to...

I went through Seminary today. Yep, always thought it would be difficult and expensive. Little did I know it was free and only took a min or two. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seminary,_Mississippi :shades

Its been 3 days since the Bible study forum has been used. I figure if I go 3 days without a really good meal I get pretty hungry. :) So I was reading the other day and came across some Scripture dealing with Sodom. I have read it before, but it still caught my eye and provoked thought...

I looked to see if this has been discussed recently and I can't see that it has. So why not study it? :) A few recent threads sparked my thoughts on it, the coming of Christ, how close we are to the end, mark of the beast, etc. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 Now concerning the coming of our Lord...

To those of you who lead "Sunday School" or "small groups" (I'm sure there are other names for it also) - I have had something that has been an idea for a while. I have not tried it personally, but thought I would throw it out there in case someone was looking for something. One thing I have...

I got a question. I am not an end times scholar. I have a good grasp on it, but just have never sat down and started putting the puzzle pieces together. So I had a question come to mind and figured you all guru's might be able to answer it to me in simple terms. Daniel had a vision of 70...

Based off the other thread going on here, Eternal Life and Salvation in the Bible, we have a lot of talk of predestination and election in how it relates to salvation and eternal life. It sparked some interest in me, and it seems to be something a lot of other people are interested in also...

I just had a question pop up. Anyone know how common world languages are decided on? In biblical times, NT that is, seems Greek was the most common language. Now days it's English. Is it a matter of majority domination? Have there ever been more than these two as dominate languages?

Ok, fess up, anyone tried this fad? Its really more than just eggs, though they are the main food. I am not a fad diet person, but this one actually intrigues me. The science behind it sounds legit. I am going to be on it starting Monday. But I am curious if anyone has ever tried it? I am...

I had a very interesting moment last night that provoked a question/thought. A few of my kids are now teenagers. Those of you who are parents I am sure will understand. They are constantly bickering. Sometimes just joking, sometimes more serious, but whenever they talk to each other your...

The Pharisee's believed they were doing wrong in what they said and did? As in, did they make a conscience decision, knowing full well they were going against God, in what they did - which elicited so many of Jesus' words against them? I'm not talking about any one thing they did...

I guess I have found the place. I recognize quite a few of these names. I forget when I quite coming and joining in on the 'conversations'. Sometimes I miss it....sometimes not. Its interesting. I am not real sure why I choose to come back and talk. Seeing some of the names that let me...

I apologized personally, but I wanted to make it public also to those who were following along. I was involved in a discussion in which some language was used that I personally feel is vulgar. I accused Watchman_2 of using a word outside of its true definition. I later realized that he indeed...

I really do not like to start too many threads at one time without wrapping up the others. But I had this thought cross my mind this afternoon and found it a quite interesting topic of discussion. Was there "grace" in the OT, or is it just a "new" covenant thing? The reason I ask is because...

Ok. So here is the deal. Most know where I stand on a lot of topics. But I want some thoughts on what others think of 2 John. I know what I believe, and it seems rather obvious to me, but I want to read what others think about it also. The "church" I go to is going through the letters of...

Are you a sinner? Yes, No? Why?

Threads and posts have prompted this study to begin. I know that this has been discussed in great detail at other times and in other threads, but why not just sit down and do some refreshing of it again? I want to start this for Rockie. I hope that it suits his desires. He is quite busy...

So I read this one little book this week while sick and it brought up a point. Personally, I have always believed way to much predominance was placed on this "position". So much so sometimes that it is sickening how much it resembles what Catholics think of the Pope as. But I have heard...
