    Stealing to feed a starving child

    Ephesians 4:28 [NKJV] 28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with [his] hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.

    Stealing to feed a starving child

    Be specific. Who has the system failed and why are they stealing food to survive? When you get down to the individual cases, there is always some sin involved that creates a crisis where there should be none. The addict that cannot work because they are always getting fired for being high on...

    Did Jesus celebrate the Holiday that commemorates the Maccabees?

    No it didn’t. The feast acknowledges the historic event (Maccabean Revolt and rededication of the Temple). Few, indeed are the people that claim there was no Maccabean Revolt or rededication of the Temple. The fact that the historic event took place does nothing to make the Greek text written...

    If You Don't Work, You Don't Eat: Understanding 2 Thessalonians 3:10

    I thought the “context” was 2 Thessalonians 3: 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15 [NLT] 6 And now, dear brothers and sisters, we give you this command in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: Stay away from all believers who live idle lives and don't follow the tradition they received from us. 7 For you know...

    Ephesians 6: 16; Ephesians 2: 2

    Ephesians 6:14-16 [NKJV] 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the...

    Ephesians 6: 16; Ephesians 2: 2

    While I prefer discussions based on verses IN CONTEXT, here you go with your word study on phrases plucked from context: Ephesians 2:1-3 [NKJV] 1 And you [He made alive], who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the...

    Who am I

    Greetings and welcome. Interesting introduction. So just out of curiosity, what two languages “don’t you speak”? ;) (a little humor based on your post). :D I noted that you are a “christian seeker”, although your quoting of scripture and reference to “precept upon precept” suggests that...

    JOHN 7:1 JESUS HAD BROTHERS

    Josiah, You are missing the point that I keep making. You are arguing with me about how I should translate the Greek word and crying foul at the meaning of the English word that every team of translators that has ever translated the Greek has used. My point is that all of the expert...

    JOHN 7:1 JESUS HAD BROTHERS

    My Latin is not that sharp, but here is the Spanish translation: Matthew 12:46 [RVR60] 46 Mientras él aún hablaba a la gente, he aquí su madre y sus hermanos estaban afuera, y le querían hablar. hermanos = male brothers plural (not “primos” = male cousins) (not “parientes” = family members)

    JOHN 7:1 JESUS HAD BROTHERS

    While potentially true, every Greek scholar that has ever translated the New Testament has chosen a word meaning “brother” rather than a word meaning “kinsmen”, so they must have thought that “brother” was implied by the grammar and context. Matthew 12:46 [VUL] 46 adhuc eo loquente ad turbas...

    JOHN 7:1 JESUS HAD BROTHERS

    No, it does not say that. My point is exactly the same as yours. Scripture does not specifically state that Adam had intercourse with Eve and she had a child. We are forced to infer that from what scripture does say because that is the normal relationship between a husband and a wife. Yet we...

    JOHN 7:1 JESUS HAD BROTHERS

    Does the Bible say “Eve had sex”, or is all of mankind the result of immaculate conception from perpetual virgins? ;)

    Jesus' Crucified Dead Body

    Why do people ask questions, only to set a trap for those that bother to answer ... so that you can tell them that they are wrong and then present the “correct answer” that you had all along? You are mistaken, but it is pointless to try and explain why when you are merely “waiting to speak”...

    Jesus' Crucified Dead Body

    Resurrection. Prior to His ascension, Jesus regularly violated the laws of physics with respect to a normal body. He appeared and disappeared. He walked through doors. He had a hole in his side large enough to place your hand in that did not bleed.

    JOHN 7:1 JESUS HAD BROTHERS

    [Luke 8:19-21 NASB] 19 And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd. 20 And it was reported to Him, "Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You." 21 But He answered and said to them, "My mother and My brothers are...
