This is not exegesis. The problem with your reasoning is you are interpreting a historical text according to a modern understanding of terms, rather than according to how the biblical authors themselves use the terms. "Death" is used in many ways in Scripture, and it often takes somewhat of a...

The OP is confusing spiritual rebirth with the resurrection of the dead at Christ's return. You are already spiritually born again, or you would not be believing in Christ. You would still be in love with your sin, and in rebellion toward God. The spiritual rebirth is necessary before anyone...

I think there's a key point being missed in a lot of the comments here. Part of the reason hell is eternal is because it is the punishment due to crimes against an eternal, holy God. I really think a failure to see this point reveals an inadequate understanding of the doctrine of holiness. But...

I get the feeling you didn't actually read my post. You call my time spent replying to you, "junk information," yet it doesn't appear to me you even listened to my argument. No one is debating the fact that Byzantine manuscripts make up the majority today. That's not the point. The point is...

Right back at ya? You think you're clever, but you're not. About 80% of Greek manuscripts are in the Byzantine family, correct. But you're missing the point. The number of manuscripts is not what counts. What counts is how close they are to the originals. While the majority of Greek manuscripts...

Care to elaborate on some examples? ;) I am sure I can keep up.

Axehead, the reality is actually that the KJV added these differences you note, and not that the modern translations took them out. The KJV is based on a different manuscript tradition than most modern translations. In 1611, they didn't have access to manuscripts more than a few centuries old at...

The KJV isn't the best translation anymore but it is still classic. I don't think it will ever fall out of use, especially with the increase of KJV Onlyism.

How do I start a blog? Or is this a feature only available to more regular members? Nevermind, the "Create a Blog" button appeared after that last post. ;)

Sounds interesting. Comet brightness predictions however tend to have a history of being rather inaccurate and overrated. I remember Haley was supposed to be brighter than it was, and Kohoutek (before my time) apparently was quite a disappointment. Still it sounds impressive. As an astronomy...

I'm always up for more friends, Warrior. :) Let's chat sometime.

Hi Hammer, thanks for the welcome. There are a few seminaries here that I know of, but I attend Westminster Theological. I think it's certainly the most well known here, so I assume that would have been your guess. ;) Unfortunately I'm in the middle of crunch time right before exams, so I will...

Hi everyone. I'm from Philadelphia. I'm a theology student in seminary, just looking for more places to interact and have discussion with fellow Christians. I actually run my own forum, but things are pretty quiet there. I don't much have the time to really be running it anymore anyway. So here...
