Jude 2

Thanks for the views. I think I've found what I was looking for. Here's what I'm thinking. The English language has changed over time, but usually through expansion or contraction of definitions or through new words (usually borrowed) being added. Not usually through a complete change of definition ...

Anybody know a good "lesikov" that covers most of the attic, patristic, and ionic writing. I prefer one written by a native-speaking Greek. I've run into some problems with translations between Koine and Modern that have me wondering, but I don't have any way to check my theory. Any help y...

Technically, it's a "unique" SB church. This is great. I'm seeing this more and more. It seems to me that ALL of the different denominations are doing this. SB, COGOP, etc. I attended a Church of Christ that claimed to be a "continuation of the reformation". It seems to me like ...

PG, I didn't get it either. I would like to point out that about two weeks ago the "29 Important Bible Truths" were still on the COGOP website. I didn't see it on there a few days ago. I guess it's been removed, but as of a few days ago it was still referenced as "Important Bible Trut...

My bad. Thank you, Dolfan. Yes, this is the Corinth church not the church at Rome. Good grief! I even posted the scripture reference and still posted that wrong. Ugh!

In II Corinthians ch. 9-11, it appears Paul was warning the church at Rome to be prepared with Christ's words for any false prophets possibly filling the pulpit, or claiming themselves to be "apostles" (apostole or apostolos in the N. T. meaning commisioned of Christ- ambassador of the gos...

The biggest reason for restrictions is because this is a form of ministry as many have said. Now, in the New Testament I find two words translated ministry. diakonia and leitourgia Both words have the connotation of servanthood. Now, let's extend that definition of servanthood to everything that you...

Master D. J.! Is he still based in Greenwood, MS? He was my Sensei's (Sensei Daniel Duckworth) instructor. Your boy just passed me in ITF Mul Duk Kwan. I was a blue belt. Your daughter is just one belt below me if the belts are the same as ours. Ours were White, Gold (orange), Green, Blue, Brown, an...

I suppose you are speaking of very specific churches. Yes, but there are lots of them. Many pastors do not get paid, many p&w members do get paid. Are we talking senior pastors here? We may not be on the same page because I was talking senior pastors. Either way it's still ministry. Agreed. I j...

Let me see if I can get the number for the shopping centers fronting Barnes Crossing Mall in Tupelo. There's several available spaces there, and it's right in THE high traffic area for Tupelo.

Full quiver, these churches aren't paying these people. Pastors get paid. There's a big difference there. Plus, if you look at the goofy lists I saw, they're requiring more from the p&w team than they do from a pastor. Take a licensed pastor. They get appointed. I've never seen one have to atten...

Paul, I can see where you're coming from, and yes, I do think worshippers need a heart for God. I've been noticing a push in churches for some REALLY strict rules for praise and worship teams. Google it online. 1) A lot of churches are requiring a lot more musical background. Requiring lessons for s...

If you're on facebook, look up dad. He makes several trips a year over there.

It's under David Browder. I'm sure he could help you with your communications questions among other things.

Oddly enough, I checked out the title track, and he's not really bashing the COGOP. It sounds more like he's trying to popularize riding the fence between God and the world... ... except for one thing. If you listen to the first line, the order he puts his mentors in is a little odd for the rest of ...

I've got my own list of things that I require of band members which excludes many people, which is why I don't lead praise and worship. I'm afraid that my qualifications may be too strict on the musical side for a church setting. That said, is there anyone on here who excludes praise and worship can...
