    Bible Historicity

    I should also remind you, Jordan, that the King of England had a "hidden agenda" when he commissioned the King James Version as well, does that make the KJV evil too?blessings,Ken

    Bible Historicity

    (Jordan;64563) II Peter 1:20 - Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.Psalm 116:11 - I said in my haste, All men are liars.Hate to break that up, but men hates God, therefore they will copyright claiming their own. You can't see that men has a...

    The Love of God

    (herald;62316) I see more and more Christians who sin, sin, sin, and think, that they will be welcomed into His Kingdom. That is why I post these posts, so that they may repent and be ready for His coming.:pray3: Amen.... granting that no one can sin in a high handed manner and expect...

    When we look at the animals, it's hard to differentiate one from another because they all look the same, same thing regarding the children of God. not really ... no offense, but while your overall point is agreeable, I have no trouble distinguishing between an elephant and a giraffe, a python...

    The New Testament Canon

    (ffbruce;62923) Right. It's kind of like using Bible verses to witness to an atheist who simply refuses to believe that the Bible is anything but a fairy tale. There have to be evidences outside the Bible (which there are).Like I said in an earlier post, the Canon of the Bible was well...

    The New Testament Canon

    (waquinas;62748) am not sure how to reject (or accept) something on the basis that it is "not biblical" when everything presented to suggest i either accept or reject it is not in the bible.Iow you made your "proof" as to what canon we should accept from sources outside the bible, then asked us...

    Predestination...barn-yard simple!

    OK--- enough of that. I've said enough. The rest can discuss the predestination vs. free will. Like I said, I believe both coexist according to the bible, so I have no real strong opinions on one side or the other. But there are clearly cases for both, so it becomes a dangerous position to...

    Predestination...barn-yard simple!

    (tomwebster;64132) I must admit your last posts have brought me back to my Seminary days And I think it's fun, it streches my mind. I don't believe the Scriptures contridict themselves. I see the so-called contradictions in Scripture as being my inability to see something or my inability to...

    Predestination...barn-yard simple!

    (tim_from_pa;64131) To all moderators:I forgot the link to the trolls article I once posted, but as a reminder, one symptom the article stated is when a user has a negative sounding user name is usually a dead give-away. I would shy away from posters that have a name like "terminator" or...

    Predestination...barn-yard simple!

    (tim_from_pa;64129) Hey, Johnny come lately Esq. Calm down. I did not even waste my time for reading all your post because I am not all emotional about the issue as you seem to be to prove yourself correct. I am not attacking anyone personally and I haven't. But you seem to single me out here...

    Bible Historicity

    Jordan, can you show me a verse in the KJV that says that God will never allow His word to be copyrighted? If you can't, and lets face it, you can't, then all you are doing is spouting man's reasoning and man's tradition, in this case, a tradition of those who adhere to the KJV only. You can't...

    Bible Historicity

    (Dad of 3;64194) To EPISTEMANIAC: I own a well-worn copy of the Farkas and Reed book: Mormonism: Changes, Contradictions, and Errors. It's the best resource I own, because it goes to the heart of the matter, unlike Mormonism: Shadow or Reality?, which is full of good information, but is too...

    Something confusing

    (eternalarcadia;63568) ok, I know that our works as fallen creatures of God are as filthy rags. God does not need us, but we need Him, yet he uses us for his purposes. How is it then that we can possibly please God by anything we do if our works are this way to God? first, "works", eg obedience...

    Take a stand!

    this OP is actually a quote from Wayne Greeson.... (just trying to give credit to the originator of these very good words)When Good Men Do Nothingby Wayne Greeson"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke)So much of the history of the struggle...

    The Internet is Killing Christianity!

    Matthew 16:18 (ESV) And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. John 10:25-30 (ESV) Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name bear witness about me, 26 but you...

    What do you think about circumcision?

    Romans 2:26-29 (ESV) So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? 27 Then he who is physically uncircumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who have the written code and circumcision but break the law. 28 For no one...

    Bible Historicity

    (tim_from_pa;64087) There is a lot of controversy which translation is better, but whether or not it is written, the KJV is a most marvelous translation to last all these years. And although it has its rough spots, was translated with no denominational ax to grind.The issue I have with most...

    Bible Historicity

    (kkboldt;64117) Yes, I agree. I use the The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, 1984 edition, with Greek, Hebrew and Chaldee dictionaries, published by Nelson publishers. This is the last version before new publishers came in and edited it and changed the meaning of some of the...

    Predestination...barn-yard simple!

    (tim_from_pa;64088) If you are a predestinationist, I agree with you. If you are a free choice advocate, then I also agree with you. Don't sound like one way or the other. As for opinions, yours, mine or the President's of the United states doesn't matter if God said something in His Word. I...
