I have reasons for choosing a particular translation on some verses, and it is not because I am a Greek scholar, but I do read the Greek scholars and see their reasoning. I also have studied hermeneutics from several textbooks over the years. I've given my general reasoning on Rom. 1:26-27 in...

Your choice of translation helps me illustrate the homophobia in the modern evangelical translations. Compare two earlier evangelical translations - 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NKJV) 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators...

Many Christians after years of study, choose a confession of faith that thousands of regenerated persons have embraced before them in the past. After many years of study, the 1646 First London Confession of Faith expresses my understanding of Scripture well. I do not embrace that confession in...

I see, you cannot answer for your claims on 1 Cor. 6:9, so you just switch to another passage to distort! LOL You're not worth my time to discuss. But, earlier in this thread I have discussed Rom. 1:26-27. See it at: Saturday at 9:39 AM, reply #2,191

When I hear "NO creed but the Bible" proclaimed, I know I'm going to hear that individual's particular belief system, his alone! I prefer 'peer reviewed' doctrinal statements of many godly men in agreement from the past.

Since there are no variations of the phrase in question, in the manuscripts, I'll recommend the honored KJV to all on this: From the KJV line from 1 Cor. 6:9 "nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind". "effeminate, adj, 1. Having the qualities of the female sex; soft or delicate...

Jack, you would have some credibility if you could explain and substantiate your idea of "homosexuals" being mentioned by Paul. That is impossible because the word and very concept of that word came about closer to 1900 AD. In addition, to read "homosexuals" into 1 Cor. 6:9 is to contradict...

Steven, as a Particular Baptist, who does embrace the first Baptist Confession of 1644/1646, I'd like to offer another perspective on denominational confessions and Pastor's agreements with the Standards of the church. I know that just because a church has the name "Baptist" on it, I have no...

“The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat; therefore, do whatever they teach you and follow it; but do not do as they do, for they do not practice what they teach. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of others; but they themselves are unwilling to lift...

I do not remember or see "Jesus saying gays will burn in Hell forever!" I see Jesus mentioning Sodom and not mentioning gays at all! I see the scriptures differently for those afflicted with the problem of exclusively homosexual orientation. "I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has...

It would seem that a man by nature would be sickened and repulsed to hear a male refer to another male as his wife or husband; I surely am disgusted by it. But, I do not condemn two males in a discreet, private, loving and intimate relationship; it may be their only realistic option if they are...

1644 First London Confession of Faith (Particular Baptists) "III. ... God had in Christ before the foundation of the world, according to the good pleasure of His will, foreordained some men to eternal life through Jesus Christ, to the praise and glory of His grace (Jude 4,6; Rom. 9:11- 13...

I will copy/paste an article I posted on another thread - For the edification of those willing, and striving for objectivity, here is a close look at Rom. 1:26, 27 with an English translation of today, along with the English dictionary definitions of today. (Rom 1:26-27 NRSVue, 2021) "For...

There is a major problem with importing modern labels of sexuality into a biblical understanding. To use words like homosexual or homosexuality in a discussion of Bible-based doctrine becomes spiritually treacherous. I'll attempt to explain my thinking on this. Beliefs concerning...

"These are the statutes and ordinances and laws that the LORD established between himself and the people of Israel on Mount Sinai through Moses." (Lev 26:46 NRSV) "These are the commandments that the LORD gave to Moses for the people of Israel on Mount Sinai." (Lev 27:34 NRSV) "When Gentiles...

I have found it a very difficult thing to make myself be neutral, objective, and open minded in evaluating over again, long held beliefs, and the verses upon which they were based. I'm talking about a broad range of topics. I've noticed we have two very troubling tendencies. We believe so...

The commentary on Sodom by "the Lord GOD" - (Eze 16:48-50 NRSVAue) "As I live, says the Lord GOD, your sister Sodom and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done. 49 This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous...

An observation: "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for/eis the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts 2:38 KJV) "I indeed baptize you with water unto/eis repentance: but he that cometh after me is...

The problem is trying to use modern words and concepts and reading them back into the Bible. Even the words "sodomy" and "sodomite" were coined around 1300 AD and have no linguistic basis in the Hebrew. The safest route on this topic is using the old standard, the KJV. Then use the old 1828...
