I also only want truth.
I believe that the scriptures as originally transcribed were accurate and contained all necessary truth, but they have been removed by thousands of years, thousands of miles, different; languages, idioms, and culture. This leaves plenty of opportunities for misunderstanding or other errors to creep in. So I understand…[Read more]

I believe both the climate and the topography of the earth changed drastically during the flood. I believe later the climate underwent further adjustments and as the frozen flood waters thawed it further divided the “earth” as mentioned in Genesis 10:25 Two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was &…[Read more]

@T8,
I agree that many references in scripture can refer to the “known world”, but in this case there are scriptures that add more clarity.
1 PETER 3: in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water.
2 PETER 3: through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.
Gen. 7:21-23 And all…[Read more]

@t8,
I know we’ll discuss this when you have time, but this is a good verse to start with when your ready.
Gen. 7:21-23 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in…[Read more]

@t8,
Hope you enjoy your holiday.
Would gladly Discuss this topic when you have the time, but I believe it is much more likely that scripture will win the day as understood for the most part.

What do you do with this scripture??seekingtruth replied to the topic How can one test the strength of our love. in the forum Scriptural Teachings 9 years, 11 months ago
We’re told that love:
1 Corinthians 13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away
Knowledge is important, I’ve spent my whole life adding to it, but…[Read more]

Knowledge alone does little but puff us up, but love edifies
John 5:38 The Father’s teaching does not live in you, because you don’t believe in the one the Father sent. 39 You carefully study the Scriptures. You think that they give you eternal life. These same Scriptures tell about me! 40 But you refuse to come to me to have that life.seekingtruth replied to the topic How can one test the strength of our love. in the forum Scriptural Teachings 9 years, 11 months ago
The process starts with faith, knowledge is early is the the process, LOVE is the goal

2 Peter 1:3 Jesus has the power of God. And his power has given us everything we need to live a life devoted to God. We have these things because we know him. Jesus chose us by his glory and goodness, 4 through which he also gave us the very great and rich gifts that he promised us. With these gifts you can…[Read more]
