“-est” = 2nd person verb

Word endings: “-est” = 2^nd person verb (speaker talking to a person) i.e. “…lovEST thou me?”

Word endings: “-eth” = 3^rd per verb (speaker talking about person) i.e. “ doETH the will of the Father”

Pronouns: thee, thou, thine, thy = singular,   “t” has 1 vertical line so is singular

Pronouns: you, ye, your, yours = plural,   “y” (at top) has 2 vertical lines so is plural

Jesus (Luk 22.31-32) speaks to group (you), then to Peter (thee, thou, thy).

Preferences need References

A well-placed and well-told story can be valuable as an illustration of important truth. But story after story can show either a low regard for Gospel truth, or a shallow grasp if it.

– eab, 8/9/16

 

Having Preferences and having supportive References (in context) are two distinctly different things. Don’t twist the Bible to your preferences but allow the Bible to un-twist you so you align with Its eternal Truth.

Goliath

 

There once was a big guy in Gath

Who was filled with Philistine wrath

The Jews had a son of their own

An expert in slingshot and stone

Goliath soon died on the path. 1Sa 17.49

Six – Day Creation

“Science” is in the Bible twice:

a wicked nation, Babylon, had a distinct interest in it (Dan 1.4) & Paul, the most highly educated man in the NT (Jesus was not educated, per se) warned his adopted son about “…profane & vain babblings and oppositions of science falsely so called” (1Ti 6.20). Both references are negative. Secular & “christian” schools have put a degree of emphasis on it.

Thank God for the boldness of Dr Henry Morris’s stand (was privileged hear him in person) & Ken Ham for a literal 6-day creation.
