 Friends         | Young at heart, enjoy chatting and social fun.  Wow some interesting comments 0 Nevzel has a new blog post: Which historical events most significantly changed early Christian doctrine?  Nevzel, that depends on which view of Christian Doctrine you associate with, those pagans, jews, and gnostics in the beginning of Jesus or the Roman or Greek View from about the 4th century onward? Nevzel, do you grasp that worship can encompass love and betrayal? If you have love for God, you should express it.  Its a difficult question to answer because one might at first say yes he does, but the Church historically always viewed the Eucharist as the most important act of worship, yet one typically does not do this every day....although it may be recommended it also seems that the minimum requirement is a once a year only.  Emma, yes but ideally it is a 24/7 relationship with God Almighty - knowing God via the Holy Spirit and by the work of Jesus on the Cross. We are made for covenant relationship with God not just meeting once a year or once a week. Nevzel, it may be the Gnostics, pagans, obviously they were there first and more than likely agree with Jesus Christ, at least more than the Religious Right and their selfish desires Nevzel has a new blog post: Seneca (4BC-65 AD killed by Nero) echoes Paul’s teaching that “all have sinned”  Where did you get "45,000" from? I can't see if you are being facetious about that quantity, or being sincere. Through the truth, that should be in your heart, for isn't spirituality what you bring to the table View all 5 posts In paper I have an NKJV and an NIV. History of and intent of NKJV is really interesting, from an academic perspective. I basically rely on ***ESV*** on 'BibleGateway.com'. Very no-nonsense no-frills translation. They aimed to do word-for-word and only deviated from that standard when word-for-word was gibberish in English. ***ESV*** NIV is most sold (paper book) in the world. ESV is catching up. Compelling. KJV , pretty incredible how they got the meaning accross NOT TOO BAD, and wrote it in stunning shakespearean poetry at the same time.  There is a long story behind that.... I am too busy to reply on that now... look out during the week... I will explain this whole Paster/Teacher thing. Nevzel - Who are they? and certainly, you know the only universal explanation is "the Big Bang Theory" Some deny ideologically about the beginning of the universe they want it to have always existed so no Creator. Nevzel the obvious way only, regardless of one's belief, a real God only has time to restore his kingdom, and I believe that is what he is doing |
