Mishael on Words Stories by Jesus's comment on 2021-05-19 15:03:23:

If you have a red letter edition of the King James Bible,

You'll find the parables in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The red letters are Jesus speaking or telling a "parable" (story) to demonstrate faith, salvation or instruction.

You will see red letters in the Book of Acts, in some places. He spoke when Paul fell off his horse on the Road to Damascus.

I am looking for the parables on salvation

Why wouldn't God call women to preach? God shows no partiality (Romans 2:11) and can use anybody to do His will (1 Corinthians 1:27). Miriam, Deborah, Huldah, Isaiah's wife, and Anna were given the authority to speak to the people on the behalf of God and thus preached the Word of God. Go back and read Romans 16:1-15 about the 10 women who where in ministry who held leadership positions.

History repeat itself. The world is an algorithm which can only be changed by our actions or decision we make or made. The writer is simply telling us everything under the sun has an origin.Anything new originated from existing object or substance

Emmanuel Baah Adutwum's comment on 2015-08-27 20:13:43:

There is no new thing under the sun. What has happened or occuring in your life has occured before. What we are seeing today was there already. eg. Artificial insemination. Joseph did not sleep with marry but marry got pregnant. eg2. elevator: Jacob saw angels running to and fro in his dreams. Women crying for children. Hannah did the same thing. Sickness or what a few can be mentioned. Post your problem or something u think is new under the sun let me prove you wrong from the bible

Masereka Robert Lumanda - Uganda's comment on 2015-08-20 07:40:46:

Indeed, the right word misspelled is under. And true, God created man kind to recreate - all human skills are primary, God equipped man from the beginning and imparted into him HIS own wisdom... Nothing is really new even what's looking or seen as new is one that has been implictly into man.

Ecc 1 9 does this scripture mean all things were before like cars cell phones and all things that we see in todays life. were these things before ?

Geoff Hicks's comment on 2014-01-08 08:59:57:

Up above in Ecclesiastes 1:9 from the King James Bible the quote is 'The thing that hath beene, it is that which shall be: and that which is done, is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing vnder the sunne.' I think the word 'vnder' is a misprint and should be 'under' - what do you think?
