Regarding the thief on the cross, we must differentiate between water baptism and the baptism of the Spirit which comes at the point of belief/salvation. The thie…
What about the thief on the cross? Definitely not baptised, yet Jesus promises to be with him in paradise.

yeah that book is cool sleepy lol
my favorite is probably "The release of the Spirit" by HH, that book is just amazing (it's even been translated into dutch :o, imagine that lol)
Genesis has awesome stories, the Psalms are amazing, ecclesiastes is so cool, the Gospel of St John is very comforting (especially the parts bout the Spirit the Comforter) Romans & Hebrews are great epistles, and finally of course Revelations ;D
All things are in place for the end of the world
i kindly disagree with this statement. There's still a lot of unfilfilled things, such as the coming of a powerfull anti-christ who will deceive even the chosen...there's no sign of Elia and Henoch, t…

i just forgot bout one last thing that occurs quite often, which is that people who feel insecure bout themselves talk bout others, and humiliate them to feel better about themselves...so somewhere gossip can be the cause of inner a…
i think gossip comes from boredom or having nothing interesting to talk about...i mean let's face it, when do we gossip??? when we run out of other stuff to talk about...
the solution then would be to:
-talk less
-find interesting/important things t…
His bones will be countable
yup, this is from psalm 22:17: I can count all my bones
if i'm not mistaking this meant that his body lost all its fluids, water and blood, because of the sufferings, which caused his skin to stick to his bones, making t…
question 1 and 2:
Then he, the associate priest, and the deacon who is to hold the decanter, smell the wine to make sure that it is pure and not vinegary and is NOT distilled wine.

(1) There is a New Testament Altar.
(2) This altar did not end by the ending of the Old Testament.
(3) The altar continues.
