(SwampFox;4777) His offering was not what is was supposed to be. Hosea 6:6 is an important verse to know because it's quite clear that God doesn't want the empty act of simply making the offering. He desires love. Cain's offering was devoid of love much more than it was devoid of the proper...

(SwampFox;4766) B]Genesis 4:13[/B]And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. God could have used Cain's own yardstick, and killed him straight away; he could have abandoned him to the risk of the justice of others who would have killed him as a danger to society. But...

(HeisNear;4667) Are you implying that Cain, who was a murderer, nothing good in him, was born with no hope of repentance? Cain was capable of doing right, and was commanded to repent:'But on Cain and his offering he did not look with favour. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast...

(SwampFox;4641) Pointer, please don't take my comments the wrong way but it's safe to say that there's a canon in the Protestant world and it can be found in most Bibles that are used be it KJV, NIV, RSV, etc. If you want to hang on the "official" word, then so be it but I don't need a council...

(kriss;4629) PointerI am not nessiarly disagreeing with you I'm having difficulty understaning whatpoint you are trying to make or what you want me to answer heres a link that you might find of interest http://biblestudysite.com/history.htm Thanks. It looks rather confused and unscholarly to me.

(kriss;4610) Then there was the 17th Ecumenical Council that ended up in Florence. Ok, but I specified Christian. Christians do not recognise any such council, of course. While it is true that all Protestant denominations recognise the same canon, as do the vast majority of independent...

(kriss;4599) In the New Testament there are some 350 Old Testament quotations. Out of the 350, over 300 are from the Septuagint (LXX) which is the Greek translation version of the original Hebrew Scriptures.In addition to quotations and allusions in the four Gospels and the book of Acts, the...

(Jenn4God;4551) Now, to get this thread back on the original subject. Not so fast, ma'am. You wrote:'I will answer your questions when you answer mine.'You have had my answer. I have not yet had yours. Can I have chapter and verse from the Bible to confirm the allegation that James I authorised...

(pointer;4346) I don't need to. However:'In no accurate sense of the word was this an 'authorised' version of the Bible. No royal injunction or Act of Parliament ordered it to be set up in churches.' p. 147 The People and the Book Derek Wilson

(skeptik;4398) That I can agree with. "Inspired by g*d" is another thing. Do you say the same to Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Sikhs and every other sort of person who believes in a 'scripture'? Or is it just Christians? I would prefer if people were consistent. But do you have the basic manners to...

(skeptik;4383) The laws are the same. The gospels are the same. Genesis is the same. How did protestants decide which books to take out? They chose what seemed to be right to them, just as everyone else does. I just say that if you regard a book as the timeless, inequivocal word of g*d then you...

(skeptik;4376) But it still contains all the other books no? The protestant bible is just the catholic bible with fewer books. So why did you say you could find no difference? The theological difference is great. But many people advocate quite a few things written in the bible. Loving one's...

(skeptik;4331) I don't know how a catholic explains it. Catholics have no answer to it. That is because the RCC is first and foremost a political organisation, not a religious one. I've been asking over and over: can somebody point me to a difference between the protestant bible and the catholic...

(skeptik;4343) Forget the laws. Love is all you need. Laws as laws should be forgotten. They are a guide, though. But love is all you need, yes. It was faith that justified Abraham, and he had faith because he had love for the truth. He had no ten commandments, and Christians are his children...

(kriss;4333) I disagree here some with pointer to be a Christain you must live by the Gods Law of the ten commandments To do that would be fatal.'"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' But I tell you that...

(Jenn4God;4345) [COLOR=Red][B]I will answer your questions when you answer mine. I don't need to. No-one can legitimately describe the KJV as 'Authorised' without proof, and there is none.

(Jenn4God;4341) My proof is the Word of God. Can I have chapter and verse to confirm the allegation that James I authorised the KJV? If you continue to try to discredit God's Word then there is nothing more I have to say to you. "Never forget, gentlemen, that this is not the Bible." Archbishop...

(Jenn4God;4328) I gave you the proper answer Merely saying that James authorised is not a proper answer. Anyone can make a mistake, or even lie. and you called me a liar. When was that? Until you can prove me wrong, I stand by answer. I don't know who would stand with someone who cannot prove...

(Jenn4God;4324) I never said it was proof. I didn't say that you did. But it is now ten posts ago that I asked who authorised this book, and I still don't have a proper answer.

(Jenn4God;4321) You should have proof to back up your statements before you claim something. 'And now at last, by the mercy of God, and the continuance of our labours, it being brought unto such a conclusion, as that we have great hopes that the Church of England shall reap good fruit thereby...
