Howdy everyone, from the Port of New York. (I have not been able to get to the computer since before New Year, having been coerced into traveling to Florida...
Bill, welcome back (to this site) I "vote" for Jesus as the "his" in 7:37f. One reason would be 19:34 where water (as well as blood) comes from the side (near...
... Thanks Steve. I am glad to be back, both to my home and to this site. I consider you and all the others on the list my friends (if it is worth anything to...
"Out of his heart shall flow streams of living water" A great river is destructive as well as life giving. The river of God's Spirit destroys and sweeps away...
Your paragraph about a great river and a new world/creation reminded me of Rev. 21:1 and 22:1. You later quote Zechariah, which also relates to the new...
Thanks Steve. You make good points as usual. I won't contest them but I suspect you may forcing an overly hard and fast definiton onto this family of...
Hello Bill, Well, let me say hello to all the list, Rory, John, Nigel, and others. (not slighting anyone, theirs is the only names that come to mind at...

Nice to hear from you again Calvin. I'm glad you are still "In His Grip". My thought would be that "fullfillment of prophecy" might be a bit strong if you mean...
We know that we are of God, and that the whole world is in the power of the evil one. And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding...
"Little Children, keep yourself from idols" The question is, "How"?! And the basic answer, though not a simple or obvious one, of course is given in John's...

Hi Bill, The text you have chosen is a superb example of how relevant John is to us today. John ended his letter with a warning that is very important to us ...

Concerning idols, Bill mentions Wall Street and materialism, and John mentions ambition and power. The gold and silver of Wall Street and Madison Avenue are...
Howdy folks. Thanks John and Steve for your insights on this subject. Let me quote the beginning and the end of 1 John to learn what weapon God gives us to...
Bill, I presume your parenthetical comment linking the atheism of Russians with their army not winning any wars lately was meant in jest. Unfortunately most...
Steve (I'm the other Steve!) I think that the reason the U.S. is not in the Bible in any form that is recognizable is due to the falling away from God. The...

Thank God for both Steves :-) and the for the radiance of the Spirit in all they write. Steve (Mosher): How are you there, Partner? The remark about the...
Bill & Steve Mc., If violent nationalism and greedy materialism are idols, I think the ruler of this world still flaunts them in every nation, including our...
Howdy to both Steves (& everyone)! Unfortunately I posted two messages yesterday but misspelled the addresses, and they did not make it. But perhaps it was...

Bill, the idea of death being considered a birth is indeed Johannine. In Jn. 16:21 Jesus uses this image (a woman in labor) in a context of his imminent death...
Hi Steve. I have some questions for you about Revelation 12 but I will contact you privately about those. ... Yes, and not to contradict you, but in the texts...
Hi Bill, You are right that the death and resurrection of the "Son" brings life into the world, but I think it also involves the life of the resurrected one...
Howdy Steve and everyone We are not too far, if at all, apart on this one but I think you may be confusing several senses of the term "world". As you say,...
Bill, Steve Mo..., etc, In my simple thinking, the world means at least 2 different references, I apologize if I'm reiterating some of your points (or mine)! ...
