Re: Presto Chango!
Hi Homer, In one respect, your guess is correct; that church didn't allow ANY who were not members to participate - no exceptions - not even for visiting ministers. The argument was that they would not be able to determine whether the person was observing the ordinance in a properly righteous frame ...

THREE Beasts of Revelation - #1 and #3 compared
Contrary to popular opinion, there were actually three beasts that composed a major portion of the drama we find in Revelation: #1) The Sea Beast of Revelation 13:1-2 #2) The Land Beast (aka the False Prophet) of Revelation 13:11 #3) The Scarlet Beast in the wilderness of Revelation 17:3 Each of the...

Re: Presto Chango!
Hi Paidion, Since I'm not yet aware of your perspective on the communion observance, I'm not sure exactly what your intent is by saying we "receive Jesus in a special way" by this act. (Once received, always received.) What I do know is that mankind always seems to have the latent danger of giving u...

Re: Presto Chango!
If the wine and bread of communion actually do turn into the blood and body of Christ as many believe, then why did some of the early church in I Corinthians 11:21 become drunken after communion? This would seem to provide proof that the alcoholic content of the wine never was miraculously converted...

8 "kings" = 8 high priests of the house of Annas in Rev. 17
It's understandable that there are those who may still be dubious about the subject of my previous post" 'kings of the earth' = HIGH PRIESTS of the land of Israel". This post is an illustration of the results we get when we put the names of 8 high priests into the rather enigmatic text about the 8 "...

Re: "Kings of the earth" = HIGH PRIESTS of the land of Israe
Hi Homer, No, I'm not really assigning any special monetary significance to the word "sum" - it just means a total "poll" count. The Numbers 3:14ff census of the Levite males you mentioned? As you have said, this was a totally distinct census for another purpose, taken of every Levite male from a mo...

Re: "Kings of the earth" = HIGH PRIESTS of the land of Israe
Hey again Homer, Did you catch the Old Testament reference I put up earlier that gave the exemption for the Levite tribe from paying the tax for the service of the tabernacle? You might have passed it over, since I tend to heap up too much commentary for anyone to wade through. It's found in Numbers...

Re: "Kings of the earth" = HIGH PRIESTS of the land of Israe
Hi again Homer, Much obliged for your taking the time to challenge this. Not everyone has the available time to do that. As I wrote before to Steve, if there are any contradictions or mistakes in these comments, it's a favor to me to mention it, so I can do a re-think if necessary. The Psalms 2:1-2 ...

Re: "Kings of the earth" = HIGH PRIESTS of the land of Israe
Perhaps it would help to give a little better foundation to this idea of scripture calling high priests the "kings of the earth" by listing the OT scriptures that give the title of "King" or "Prince" or "Ruler" to the high priests. #1) We know Peter gave the high priests this title shortly after the...

Re: "Kings of the earth" = HIGH PRIESTS of the land of Israe
Hi Homer, Thank you for reading this and adding a rebuttal. There does seem to be a division between the commentators, with some saying this Matt. 17:24-27 tax is a Roman one, and others telling me that we should NOT confuse the half shekel Temple Tax (to be paid by Christ for Himself and Peter by t...
