Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
8:12-13 The Westminster Leningrad Codex
12 אֲשֶׁ֣ר חֹטֶ֗א עֹשֶׂ֥ה רָ֛ע מְאַ֖ת וּמַאֲרִ֣יךְ ל֑וֹ כִּ֚י
גַּם־יוֹדֵ֣עַ אָ֔נִי אֲשֶׁ֤ר יִהְיֶה־טּוֹב֙ לְיִרְאֵ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים
אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִֽירְא֖וּ מִלְּפָנָֽיו׃

I was talking with a friend, and he offered this up as a contradiction between the two accounts. When Jesus is about to be crucified, during his flogging Matthew says the soldiers clothed him in scarlet while Mark says it was in purple. I …
All four gospels record Peter denying Jesus 3 times, but it seems they record different events. Either they can all be reconciled to three, or there were more than three denials. Looking at the contexts of the denials, it seems that Peter …
I’m comparing both Matthew and Luke’s genealogy of Jesus.
Matthew wrote this:
Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon… –
Mat 1:3 (NASB)
And Luke wrote this:
the son of Amminadab, the son of Admin, th…
The Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30) is nearly identical to the Parable of the Ten Minas (Luke 19:11-27).
One major change is that the values and quantities of the money is very different in each parable, as well as the number of …
Now the main word to focus on here is the term world. God proclaims His love for the world by sending his one and only begotten Son to die for the world so that the world may not perish. You can find the above from the Book of John.

In 1 Timothy, Paul says:
1 Timothy 2:15 (ESV)
15 Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
Does the "she" refer to Eve, or all women? And does the "t…
I have a question concerning a potential contradiction in the order of events in Galilee.
In Luke 4:31-36, Jesus visits the Capernaum synagogue and heals the man of unclean spirits. Early in Luke 5, Jesus makes his first call for his disci…
Some argue that Elijah died and was not really taken into heaven because John 3:13 says that “no man hath ascended to heaven”.
John 3:13 (KJV)
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, [even] the Son o…
1 Samuel 21:1-5 (NKJV)
1 Now David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech was afraid when he met David, and said to him, “Why are you alone, and no one is with you?” 2 So David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king ha…
This is in relation to another post in which the question was asked why the Sabbath was called “the day after the Day of Preparation.”
It strikes me odd that Pharisees would be about this sort of thing on the Sabbath. What were the Pha…
Why does Mary Magdalene tell the John and Peter:
we do not know where they have laid him (see John 20:2)
if she and the other women were already told by the angels that Jesus had risen (see Luke 24:1-12)?
