All of the studies, book or topical, found here, are done with research with mainly two things: The KING JAMES BIBLE and a plain old, 1828 Webster's Dictionary. Why? Outside of actually studying secular and Jewish history, archaeology, one needs nothing more. You do not need foreign, dead languages that no one speaks, lexicons, concordances or commentaries, because they differ not only with one another and with the KING JAMES BIBLE, but they create division, confusion, debate, and unbelief. We do not need them. That Word of God written and preserved for us in our own language is supposed to be enough, like the Old Testament was for the Jews, and the New Testament for the early Christians in Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, German, etc. There are studies within as tangents on words, subjects found within the two testaments, as to broaden the scope of the study, to learn more, deeper truths. This is not an intellectual site with PhDs, theologians, and no worldly wisdom.. Check everything out, everything. Not just here, but with everything you read and see and hear. Be Bereans:

As fishermen, Peter, James and John would have been considered of low intelligence, low education, low character, cursing constantly. The same is true today of anyone who does not go to "higher education", "have an ADVANCED degree from an institute of HIGHER LEARNING". Yet Peter, James, John wrote Scripture books, changed people's lives, turned an entire empire, nation, synagogue upside and helped change the world, while others for the last 2,000 years have done little for eternity, little lasting and caused much more harm than good, worshiping their own intellects, achievements, awards, puatting each other on the back while mocking God. These men for former fools, now fools for Christ, as was Paul. THe res are fools who mock God. Not very smart, THOUGH "HIGHLY EDUCATED!!

As a true doctor, physician, Luke's writings in Scripture are more detailed and personal about the bodily life lived by Jesus and His disciples, almost like the dictation a doctor woukld take asking questions of a patient today

"In this passage he shows the vanity of idols: As to the eating of things that have been sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world; or, there is no idol in the world; or, an idol can do nothing in the world: for the form of expression in the original is elliptical. The meaning in the general is, that heathen idols have no divinity in them; and therefore in the Old Testament they are commonly called lies and vanities, or lying vanities. They are merely imaginary gods, and many of them no better than imaginary beings; they have no power to pollute the creatures of God, and thereby render them unfit to be eaten by a child or servant of God. Every creature of God is good, if it be received with thanksgiving, 1 Tim. iv. 4. It is not in the power of the vanities of the heathens to change its nature.--And there is no other God but one. Heathen idols are not gods, nor to be owned and respected as gods, for there is no other God but one"
