Why is it wrong to take the meaning of perish in John 316 and impose that on every other NT use of the word (3)

One of my many faults is that I’m sarcastic. I don’t think sarcasm is always wrong, but there have been many times when I’ve taken it too far. Even so, I love a good sarcastic remark.  We […]

What are five things you are thankful to God for today

In everything [en panti] give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thess 5:18).   Some commentators suggest that the Greek words en panti in 1 Thess 5:18 should be always translated “always.” However, that […]

Political figures are sometimes morally blackmailed by handlers who attempt to force them to renounce an ally who has offended part of the electorate. These handlers try to guilt the […]

Is each subsequent soil in the Parable of the Four Soils better than the one before

I’ve been interacting with a friend about who the third soil in Luke 8:14 represents.  We both agree that it represents believers.   But we disagree on whether the believers in […]

Why

Mary, the sister of Martha, is mentioned three times in the NT. Each time, the Scriptures say she is at the feet of the Lord.  The first mention is in […]
