As usual, you make your incoherent and snide remarks without any substance. I think what I wrote was clear, in brief fashion, as to my view on child molestation. An example I had in mind was where men in their 30s would charge a Priest for molesting them in years past, when it was only where a...

To give clarification of my referring to Matthew Poole's guesses, I should have written "educated and scholarly guesses". Poole never left you hanging with only his best guess, he usually gave the main views held in the church, and his biblical and reasonable choice for the view he supported...

Deu 22:22-27 NRSVue 22 “If a man is discovered lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman as well as the woman. So you shall purge the evil from Israel. 23 “If there is a young woman, a virgin already engaged to be married, and a man meets her in...

Ronald, the old English in the KJV I address by using the 1828 Webster's English Dictionary easily available online or in Bible software. On the matter of prophecy being clear, wouldn't you agree that there are some things in prophecy that are just not explicit and when you need to go...

There has been no new revelation from the Holy Spirit, that is to be added to the Canon of Scripture held from earliest times. The Bible has been the same for many centuries. In eschatology, you can find the 3 approaches of Premillennial, Postmillennial and Amillennial down through these...

In the past I usually relied on some web site like Kelly Blue Book, or Edmunds to give me the trade-in value of my car. Those figures are never accurate, so I tried something different on buying a new car yesterday. I went to CarMax and used their online questions to describe my car honestly...

Ronald, your reply is spot on. I admit, I must have gotten Kamala Harris 'word salad' disease. :D I think what troubles me, is Paul is speaking of the law being a school master, guiding to the Messiah, and exposing the depth of sin. Jesus in Matthew 5 appears to reprimand those who turn the...

Do we do diligence to the question, does the definite article "the" in the Greek, or the absence of the definite article in the Greek tell us something, guide us in important ways. Isn't the decision of translators on whether the definite article should be added to the Greek, largely a matter...

The Galatians were of the nations, gentiles. The gentiles were not given the Mosaic Law, so why is Paul constantly talking to people about the 613 laws, the law of Moses which they were not given?

Scripture shows that the law of God, God's law, existed prior to the giving of the law of Moses: murder-Gn 9:5-6; adultery-Gn 20:3; idolatry Gn 35:2-4 & theft-21:25; but then later the law of Moses, the Law, was given on a specific day and to a specific people Israel, and to NO other nation: Dt...

That is true, Bob. How does each self-identify themselves? People even perceive various attributes of humans in differing ways. The polls, and various articles like this that distinguish college graduates as if they are more intelligent sticks in my craw. The main difference I see is too...

The Reformed faith, as to perseverance of the saints, is based on the Bible, clear and explicit statements in God's word. I do not know where people get the idea that the Reformed or the Particular Baptists are quoting Calvin instead of the Bible. Calvin may be called 'a first thinker' as he...

"Study shows group most likely to identify as 'low-attending Evangelicals'" "A new study looking at church attendance among Evangelicals reveals that conservatives are the most likely to identify as 'low-attending Evangelicals.'" "Broken down by political affiliation, 5.5% of conservative...

In Acts 5:5, the phrase is "all who heard about it were terrified" and from the videos I've seen, that is terrifying. I wonder if there were some scoffers, arrogant humanists, who were shook to the core with this? There are so many angles from which to see this, and the Almighty must be...

I agree with your #6 as evangelizing is now in the church, the body of Christ. The office of evangelist is an 'extraordinary' gift of the Spirit, which ended with the apostolic age. This is a minority view, but I find agreement with Matthew Poole on this: "The gifts he gave were that some...

That depends on how one views the Roman Catholic Church as their heresies grew. Notice list on page 7 https://www.tlchrist.info/keithgreen/boettner_romancatholocism.pdf Those who know the Bible can match the Creeds and Confessions to the Scriptures and see where they are biblical, or man-made...

It is with shame I think of my belly aching and whining about losing power for several days, when I see Chimney Rock, NC with such devastation, as well as other cities. I sat, thought and searched for any answers I can find in God's word for any explanation of this disaster, especially on those...

Johann, I tried to Reply on another thread but it is locked, so I'll ask my question here. I'm curious about your response to the following scriptures: Your first reference is to Matt. 28:18-20, but that is addressed to the evleven apostles - "Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the...

"But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God." (John 1:12-13 NRSV) Too many churches memorize v12 but skip the last half of the sentence in v13 which...

When it comes to understanding the "will" of 2 Tim. 2:26; I believe the translators of our English versions side with it meaning the devil's will. So, on the grammar in the NT Greek, I'll go with the NET2.1 Bible translator's note and the reasoning and comparing scripture with scripture in the...
