“heavens” is everything?

‘The Lord’s Prayer’ also mentions a plural ‘heavens’! οὐρανοῖς - heavens https://biblehub.com/text/matthew/6-9.htm It also mentions a ‘heaven’ singular. οὐρανῷ - heaven https://biblehub.com/text/matthew/6-10.htm

Wow “heavens” is plural!

‘works’ are what a person himself can do. ‘grace’ is God’s unmerited favour. “… that no one may boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Sure, feel free to address a 4 years old.

Thank you very much for the info. That’s what I expected to hear as the concept of ‘Logos’ was rooted in Greek culture. Wow I never heard of that before. Sounds very interesting. Thank you but no, it will be beyond my comprehension. Instead I would like to ask you to tell me a little bit more about it in your own words. But please, in words that a 6 year old could understand as that’s about my level of understanding. It reminds me of this

@Nungali there’s some info about the word ‘Logos’ on the first page of this link https://snsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Logos-in-Greek-Culture.pdf

@Daniel does this word לוגואים have any meaning in your sacred books?

‘sound’ isn’t even mentioned on the link.

no

No, it isn’t. I think you should move this thread to your PPD, as it’s entirely unrelated to the Abrahamic religions.

@Daniel Thank you very much for replying.

Or thought? λόγος Logos https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/λόγος

No worries. Also, just a few lines on very basic beginners stuff will be sufficient for me to start with.

Which “tomorrow”.

@Daniel Paul said he’s a Pharisee, see Philippians 3:5

Paul said, “Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees” (Acts 23:6) Could you pls write a bit about the connection you expect to find? What are these “shells, husks and garments” about?

I have no idea.

ἔργων - works, deeds https://biblehub.com/text/ephesians/2-9.htm

Yes. “by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; it is not from works” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
