Please note that in 1 Timothy 6:20 above, the word “science” is derived from the Koine Greek word “gnosis”. This word is normally translated as “knowledge” in the New Testament of the King James version of the Bible. This is the only verse where it is actually translated as “science”, and I am not sure why the translator made this choice.

If you are personally limited in computer resources, or lack sufficient knowledge and experience to set up your own online ministry, it allows you to feed and inspire other Christians, without having to do all of the behind-the scenes work yourself. I’ve already done it for you. I’ve written the articles, made the graphics, composed the poetry, compiled the KJV Bible Verse Lists, etc. All you have to do is take the initiative by clicking or tapping on the share buttons.
2. Word of mouth and personal recommendations are a very important part of any online Christian ministry. By clicking or tapping on the share buttons, you are helping the Bill’s Bible Basics ministry tremendously. You may be able to reach people that I will never ever meet online, or otherwise.
