To all who are thus full-grown is revealed a measure of the knowledge of God's wisdom. The rational and intellectual dimensions of the Christian religion infinitely surpass all of the achievements of mortal intelligence; and Paul's blunt reference to this truth states that it forcefully applies even to "the rulers of this world." Not even they ever attained to any wisdom whatever in any manner comparable to the wisdom of God, the proof of it being that they themselves "are coming to naught."Are coming to naught ... The subject of this clause is "the rulers of this world"; but the meaning is not restricted to such persons as governors and emperors. "Paul had in mind all of those who set the pattern of this world, including the rulers in the sphere of science and art."17 The proof of what Paul said here came within a few years when the Jewish state, Jerusalem and the temple were utterly destroyed in 70 A.D. Nor was it any less true of Rome, where the period of the phantom emperors soon came; and the mighty empire itself eventually sank under the ravages of the invading hordes of vandals and barbarians. But it is also true of all history. If human wisdom had any genuine merit, the depredations of war, famine and pestilence might be controlled; but every generation has fulfilled its destiny of proving that "It is not in man that walketh to direct his steps" (Jeremiah 10:23).

Failure to note this has led some commentators to interpret this as meaning that they committed fornication and went after strange flesh (Sodomy) like the angels!27 Of course, Jesus said that, "In heaven the sons of God shall be as the angels of heaven who neither marry, nor are given in marriage," (Matthew 22:30), indicating that angelic life is utterly different from life on earth.Suffering the punishment of eternal fire ... That this verse is not a reference to the angels is clear in the distinction of the two punishments. That of the angels was their reservation "under darkness" until the judgment; that in this verse, being the punishment of the wicked cities, is "suffering ... eternal fire," a plain reference to the divine visitation against Sodom and Gomorrah. Such a punishment suggested to Jude the "eternal fire" mentioned by Jesus as the punishment of the wicked, of which the physical destruction of the cities was but a preliminary type of the ultimate overthrow of the wicked in hell.

2025-04-02Allright, for the last few days (but never before then,) FrostWire has been freezing on startup; the status bar gets to "User Interface," tries to figure it out for about ten seconds, and then freezes. I try uninstalling and re-installing it, which worked for a bit, but now does not. Similarly, I tried deleting the themes folder as sugested in one of the sticky threads, which worked once, but now again does not. I even (incidentally) did a system restore to a period in which these problems were not occuring, but it was for naught. Is this a known problem, and has it happened to anyone else here? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as now I'm stuck using Ares. I'm not a neophyte by any means, but I'm still not all that good with computers, so please don't make it too complicated Edit: I tried uninstalling it, deleting all the files in Application Data and in My Programs, and reinstalling it. This worked fin, but then as soon as I shut it down, the next time I tried to open it the same problems occured. Any thoughts?
