Major thats intereting pov bout socialism but i dont think it works quite that way.
Some people cannot work and need looking after. Eg children, elderly, disabled and then theres wives who work at home and dont get any pay at all. Their husbands support them while they look after the household and nurture the children.
Not EVERYONE can work and earn money like an able bodied man. Just pointing that out in case you forgot.
Criminal... the end of democracy at its birthplace... don't think for a moment this isn't a sign...What is thought about the new Greece bailout?
The Greek of today isn't the Greek of the NT just like the Hebrew of today isn't the same as the Hebrew of the OT.I dont know about democracy but greece is important in that it had the language most all of the NT was written in.
Although hellenistic culture gave us many things like...forums..the olympic games, theatre, philosophy to name but a few.
Sorry, not sure what point you trying to make.The Greek of today isn't the Greek of the NT just like the Hebrew of today isn't the same as the Hebrew of the OT.
Two things about that... first true, which is why America is a Republic, not a Democracy. A Republic will only flourish when the people are active and with integrity. "We the People" are no more in America, hence our impending demise. Second, Abraham was a friend of God and he interceded for them. God is crying out for interceders.Democracy doesnt always work lol. Majority rule. Etc. christians havent always been the majority.
But God did say to Abraham if there were 10 righteous people in a town he wouldnt destroy it.
You made the point that Greece was important because its language connection to the NT... that was 2000 years ago... doesn't apply today.Sorry, not sure what point you trying to make.
Then make your own thread. I believe this is relevant.Or Nazareth? Or galilee?
Or Jerusalem?
Shouldnt we be focusing on that rather than money markets?
I wish I could get more people to understand this. TYhey run out and buy or google some mordern day translation and think they now have hidden wisdom lost in the ages.The Greek of today isn't the Greek of the NT just like the Hebrew of today isn't the same as the Hebrew of the OT.
I have no idea. I never liked the NIV.Abdicate please forgive me for this might not flow with this thread but I wanted to share this.
Largest' Christian Publisher Zondervan, is a Division of HarperCollins, which Publishes the Satanic Bible and also the joys of gay sex.
The NIV has now hasa a lot of words taken out and I have not YET seen one since Harper and Zondervan teamed up HOWEVER it is said thast there are some strange changes in it. This I can not back up but simply what I have been reading. BUT the harper part is true.
Any way this would effect 2013 -14 and up bibles
Just wanted to share this with you in this thread.
God Bless
