    Description: Seems like others come into groups and ask for prayers some for divorce, others sickness, and the prayer circles are not functional. There is something to be said for being able to know or read that others are praying over you. That was one of the things I Really liked in the old Beliefnet community. People were praying for each other, and in this decade we are very much in need of prayer the bible says to pray without ceasing. Also two or more standing in agreement is a way of having prayers answered. If you are a prayer warrior here is a place for you. If you are a praiser, well the way to get your prayers answered is to have an atmosphere of praise lifting up holy hands, God inhabits the praises of his people. I Did a forum on the POWER OF positive prayer based on a book I READ and highly recommended, so if you have a need, you might go to some bookstore and order this book its a great beginning effective way of praying. Some denomitions have servants who have dedicated thier lives to making intercessions for others.So here I Am intiating this group to send up some serious prayers, if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray then I WILL Hear from heaven and heal their land. This is a call for prayer going out in such a time as this. IF you need prayer for healing deliverance restoration, repentance, comfort in a loss suffered this room decrees you are welcome

    Description: What do you look for in a Bible translation? Basically, there are two types: a literal (word for word) rendition and a dynamic equivalent (paraphrase or idiomatic). The first clings as closely as possible to the original language, that is, as much as idioms and word choice will allow. In contrast, the paraphrase is a “free” translation in which the translator seeks to express the original writer’s thoughts as he may interpret them rather than the exact words used in the text. ……………………………………………………………………………………………… This group’s primary concern is using good translations as well as using a variety of English translations. However, our discussions can cover any area that is Bible related and, or related to Bible study and research. Our two group texts are Proverbs 2:1-6 and John 17:3. Here are some of the areas of interest for this group. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. • Hermeneutics • History of Judaism • Textual Criticism • Bible Translation • Biblical Greek • Biblical Hebrew • Semantics • Exegesis • Doctrines • Archaeology • Bible Chronology • Theology • Inductive Bible Study • History of Christianity • History of Religion • How the Bible Came Down To Us • Customs and Culture • Study of Bible (Chapter by Chapter) ……………………………………………………………………………………………… This list is not exhaustive, but it should give you some ideas. If anyone disagrees with another, simply quote the person and give your logical reason as to why. Then site a web address or a source, which may be a very good one, also, it may be very informative, but it is up to you to read it and find out how the previous poster is not quite right and explain it to the rest of us. At the end of your explanation you may site that website as your source. …………………………………………………………………………………………….. There are enough hate boards out there tearing the throats of others out in the name of God ironically. That is not the case here. We are going to be Christlike and respect each other. We will pick the kindest of words when we disagree. Like: “I can appreciate where you are coming from, but I feel this…….. is the real reason for this….., do you see what I mean? The other may come back: “Yes, I see how you are getting where you are, but I must respectfully disagree because…. ……………………………………………………………………………………………… Our goal is to do good research, keep digging and show loving kindness to others in the process. ……………………………………………………………………………………………….
