@RadioGenoa Muslims recognize Jesus is Messiah and call him a prophet but don't listen to what he says. He criticized praying to be seen by men. He said not to expect God to hear such prayers since you have already received your reward by your religious exercise being a public display.
@OlaWikander The name "Jesus" is commonly used in English with adapted sounds by way of Koine Greek. Some prefer to employ the original "yeshuah" (from the Hebrew), but this is not readily understood by speakers of English.
@BamaStephen Conteplating calls for ceasefire from Hamas and its allies, I notice they are asking us to forget who violated the existing ceasefire and started the war.
@birdchadlouis The Greek word πειραςμος (peirasmos), used in the Lord's Prayer (Mat. 6:13), might better be translated, "Don't put us to the test." This would keep it from conflict with Ja. 1:13, and it fits well with its context in the Lord's Prayer.
@PollsNOpinions1 My mother & father were visiting in Berlin in November of 1938 and saw the destruction perpetrated by the Nazis on Kristallnacht. They were horrified.
@_DeanAnthony 47 years ago I served in the jungle in Vietnam¸ but I still feel an involuntary start at any loud, explosive noise. My PTSD is slight compared to that of others but nonetheless real. Could it be that Rev. McA tends to discount things beyond the realm of his own experiance.
@birdchadlouis The HS was also active in believers of OT times, but neither as amply nor in the fulness as was experienced at Pentecost & after. This was prophesied by Joel when he spoke of the Spirit poured out (שׁפך) on all flesh. As Peter points out, this is the promised baptism in the HS
@BlueCheezWhisky Speakers of Jesus' day and culture figured periods of time by counting any part of a day as a "day." So his crucifixion on Friday and his resurrection on Sunday count for 3 days. Spanish has a similar idiom where a full week is counted as 8 days, 2 weeks as 15 days.
