Roman Catholicism Is Like The Pharisees
a: Roman catholicism ~
b: the Pharisees
What: "The three main groups of false Christianity correspond to the three main groups of unbelieving Judaism at the time of Christ. Roman Catholicism is like the Pharisees - huge, works-salvation, tradition-bound, etc. Eastern Orthodoxy is the same. The second is Liberal Protestantism, similar to the Saducees in their rejection of revelation, weak ethics, etc. Then there are the many cults, like the Jewish cults of the Essenes, Herodians, Zealots, etc, exclusivist and esoteric. The earliest form of pseudo-Christianity was Gnosticism, opposed in Colossians, I John, and elsewhere. There are many pseudo-Christian cults around today."

a: Collective noun ~
b: the word people
What: "Now we get into something a little tricky because the word seed is a collective noun. A collective noun is like people - it can refer to a small group or a large group, a crowd. It is a singular noun, but it has a collective meaning. Seed can be singular or plural. It is singular in the sense of apple seed or individual seed, or it can talk about all the descendants of somebody meaning the descendants of Abraham. Here Paul makes a point out of the fact that the word Seed is singular, and so the promise is to a Seed singular. "...He does not say, 'And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, 'And to your Seed,' which is Christ." He applies the promise of blessing ultimately to the person of Jesus Christ."

a: Mercury barometer ~
b: the water-in-a-trough experiment
What: "A mercury barometer is like the water-in-a-trough experiment - a tube of mercury standing in a reservoir, which is enclosed to avoid escape of poisonous mercury vapour. A small hole allows the changing atmospheric pressure to contact the mercury surface "

a: magnetism ~
b: water
What:
"A magnet is like a glass and the magnetism is like water. There's no way of getting a glass of water extra full. Full is full. Guys who play around with this will claim they get the rotor stronger, but it only lasts until the magnet is actually run. As soon as you run it you're right back to where you started. Think of your really full glass of water. As soon as you try to pick it up and move it some spills out, the rotor is the same way as soon as it is run you lose a little. Then it will stay consistent at that level until you get it hotter or expose it to a stronger field. "
