I completely agree, discernment is of utmost importance.
And I truly appreciate this…
“As the chief moral guardian of the community, the church must implore men to be good and well-intentioned. It must extoll the virtues of kind-heartedness and conscientiousness. But somewhere along the way it...

Sefaria proposes: "With all your acquisitions, acquire discernment." [emphasis added - JS] I would suggest that discernment emphasizes the ability to analyze, and I suspect that this is part of what Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. had in mind when he wrote:
There is nothing...
Not sure about accurately answering that question.
I do think that intelligence alone can fall short, as it must be balanced with wisdom and knowledge…
Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get-understanding. Proverbs4:7

Men like Moses ? Then Jesus ?
We are of Earth and what is on Earth is what God uses.
Up to now 'paper' was international, now the Web, Satellites, etc. but language is still used to communicate.
Remember: it's little by little that spiritual light grows brighter and brighter - Proverbs4:18...

Because the Bible is a guiding light - Psalm 119:105
A light to see our immediate path like a flashlight to guide our steps.

Me too...but when you look in from the outside, you start to realize that these were the people who determined what Christianity as a religion would look like. For example, Irenaeus, Origen, Eusebius and Augustine all seem to have had key roles in determining (or at least disseminating) which...
In the Gospel of Thomas it's two ears or two good ears.
"These are the secret sayings that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas recorded."
Didymus and Thomas both mean twin, i.e "twin-twin". Then there are the two fates of Judas. Understanding the kingdom involves understanding the...
Daniel 12:10 is with respect to the "wicked" will have no understanding. As for the gospel of the "kingdom" (Mt 13:10-14) those without ears to hear, the wicked, will not "understand". As for "knowledge", without "understanding", it is kind of lame. People can memorize the bible and have great...
Mother Nature, Mother Earth but God is the Father aka Creator - Revelation 4:11
Right now Father Time is ticking down the end of this man-ruled system.
MAN has set MAN's doom-and-gloom Doom's Day Clock with its hands set close to striking the dark midnight hour.
Whereas, Scripture shows the...
Huh? God's 'rest day' from further creating things ended with the end of the 6th creative day.
God's 'rest day' was still on-going in the first century- Hebrews 4:4-11 - and is still on going today
- Proverbs4:18 has Not yet arrived.
To me there is nothing absent about what Jesus said would...
I understand what you mean , but that does not change anything since there is earthly understanding and heavenly understanding.
Acts 1:11 say that Jesus was taken into heaven and the apostles were looking into the empty sky.
Sky is just reflection on something above,it's mirror in...
Thank you.
I'll split this in parts, so as to preserve your quoted words.
"They", would not include nPeace.
If it's sounds like I am bragging, it's only because we are proud to be a privileged people - a people for God's name, taught by him.
nPeace, along with @Hockeycowboy, and over...
I don't care what you call it, it's a Persian rip-off. You are going to talk about my cred and you think a Persian archaic mythology is real?

Never said it wasn’t.
Once again, You said Jehovah’s Witnesses teach the Rapture; that’s the part over which I disagreed with you. It is wrong. When people begin stating things that are not accurate, it affects their credibility.
Please…. there weren’t “many.”

I am glad to tell you that that is a corrupted verse. My only disappointment is that you will fail to believe that it has been corrupted.

In Jesus’ prayer to God, at John 17:5, Jesus said, “So now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory that I had alongside you before the world was.”
Colossians 1:15 calls Jesus “the first-born of all creation.” It must mean something…I’ll accept it for what it says...
