The 'anointed ones' need to keep in mind that it's God's sheep in the pews, not theirs.

It meant a little more than that. All David did was to cut a piece of Saul's garment to mock him and to jubilate a little. He did him no harm. He stretched forth his hand against him, and David's heart smote him for it. The kings in Israel were anointed, a type of Christ. Christ, the true...

'Justin Trudeau, of Canada, called me to ask what could be done about Tariffs. I told him that many people have died from Fentanyl that came through the Borders of Canada and Mexico, and nothing has convinced me that it has stopped,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. 'He said that it's gotten...

Clearly, we're presented with two Creation accounts, written in different styles, from different points of view. On the surface they appear to be contradictory, and were they not both appealed to in the New Testament, it would be difficult (for me) to consider some of the attempts made to...

No one in this thread is arguing for Florida. My point was the tenses employed. They're not consistent in all translations. The second-century Hebrews translating Genesis applied the present tense to Eden and its river as well as its four distributaries. So does Young's Literal Translation...

Another word about their journals. I can understand why someone might want to require that their students keep journals. They want them to develop the discipline of reading and musing on the Scriptures. It's a good habit to be into. But there is this thinking among Evangelicals, and especially...

I like his videos, and he makes a compelling case here. He has to cheat though, and find someone that says 'Hebrew allows' someone to say the rivers flowed toward one another, instead of away from. But if you get to say that, I get to say Moses was likely speaking of new rivers formed by the...

You could have a point, but it's not as tidy as you may think. First, no one is arguing for Florida, so just stop. Second, the river that watered Eden is unnamed. From Eden it turned into four rivers that watered other regions. Clearly, Eden is no more, and was gone long before the time of...

To me it looks like the span of each paw is around 2 inches. Am I seeing that right? Would that be too big for a raccoon?

I read the whole thing. He says Ponce de Leon wasn't looking for a "fountain of youth" at all, a point that seems to be debatable. You appear to be saying he fell victim to fake news. I'm saying there may have been something to the stories. There's such a story in the New Testament.

I live in Jackson County, Missouri. It was also the New Jerusalem according to Smith. That was moved to Nauvoo when they were run out of Missouri by the state militia. Then it got moved to Salt Lake City after the deaths of Smith and his brother. Now they speak of Zion as more a concept than a...

Where are the other two rivers that shared that junction? The four rivers didn't meet at that junction, they flowed from it. The rivers of Eden described in Genesis had a common source. Present day Tigris and Euphrates do not. Therefore, they can't be assumed to be the same rivers. The geography...

As legend has it , and as scholars have maintained for centuries, Ponce was in search of the Fountain of Youth, a fabled wellspring thought to give everlasting life to whoever bathed in or drank from it. But new scholarship contradicts the old fable and suggests that Ponce was interested not in...

Funny, but I wonder if the kids are depicted little enough? 2 Kings 2:23 - And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

Well, there's five minutes I won't get back. There were (and are) some kooks and mountebanks out there. I was half-way expecting an argument from a description of Pangea, and the possible location of what is now Florida. I would like to take a time machine and and visit the antedeluvian...

There are no real tongues or healing in the Pentecostal churches either. It's all about the decorum. I'd be interested in the context of the antics. Everyone seems to be having a good time. I have no doubt they would claim the Spirit sanctioned them, if not directly led them. No difference...

https://evolutionnews.org/2025/03/lets-not-forget-about-that-covid-commission/ Dr. Scott Atlas at Stanford’s Hoover Institution wrote an important piece on Monday in the Wall Street Journal addressing just this point. He’s noticed that the task of reforming our American institutions has come to...

It is often called the SOTU informally.
