1Pe 1:12 It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things which have now been announced to you by those who preached the good news to you through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.
Is this phrase "through the Holy...
Remember all the times politicians were shot down in metaphorical flames for suggesting that USA people ought to have an identity card? Well you have one but it is really bad and totally insecure.
Your social security card (number).
Sucks doesn't it?
Consider this
one million is 1000000
one billion is a bi-million which ought to be one million squared or 1000000000000 = 10000002
one trillion is a tri-million which ought to be one million cubed or 1000000000000000000 = 10000003
one quadrillion is one quad-million ...
People have two brains connected by a thick nerve-cell cable which enables each brain to talk to the other. A little bit like two computers talking to each other.

But I want to speculate and since this is the speculative theology forum this looks like...
When I look back on my schooling and on documentaries and films the heroes are names that you probably all know. Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Martin Luther, Queen Elizabeth I, George Washington, Napoleon, Catherine the Great, Fredrick the Great, Lord Nelson, and if you're Russian maybe...

A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song.
His foundation is in the holy mountains.
Jehovah loves the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob.
Glorious things are spoken of you...
The subtlety of faith.
It's not always what we'd expect. But God loves and gives honour to the one whose faith works.

Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Charlemagne, William the conqueror, Edward the confessor and so forth are considered heroes in English speaking lands while Hitler, Napoleon, Attila the Hun, and Genghis Khan are seen more as anti-heroes. Is any of this in accord with biblical teaching?
If there are aliens in the universe - intelligent ones who live on planets and are not angels or anything like that - then where would they fit in the creation story and would Eve's and Adam's sin affect them too?
Chilli sauce.
I like chilli sauces especially very hot ones. I use them as a condiment or as an additive when cooking. Not so long ago I bought some Sriracha Sauce and now I have used it all up, except for a little in the bottom of the bottle. What I liked most about it - aside from being a...
Zophar from Naamath again took his turn: "I can't believe what I'm hearing! You've put my teeth on edge, my stomach in a knot. How dare you insult my intelligence like this! Well, here's a piece of my mind! "Don't you even know the basics, how things have been since the earliest days, when Adam...
I saw a critique of the "prosperity gospel" made by a comedian (an Englishman on USA tv) named John Oliver. He uses bad language liberally so I will not link the video clip here. But it got me wondering if folk here believe the messages preached by men and women like Kenneth Copeland and Gloria...
Does holy scripture have anything to say about personal privacy? It must be admitted that God knows everything so no privacy can be expected as far as your relationship with God is concerned.
A previous generation was very concerned about government acquiring "at the press of a button" details...
In theology these are regarded as serious faults that can lead to serious sins. But is that a sound assessment of them?
gluttony
envy
lust
greed
pride
wrath
sloth
A modern non-christian perspective on these is given here
