Try reading it in broader context. I'll quote another version, the Revised English Bible. Doesn't that match with what the KJV is also saying? "With God are wisdom and power, to him belong counsel and understanding.’ If he pulls down, there is no rebuilding; if he imprisons, there is no...

You need to learn how to read! "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." (John 1:1-3 KJV) "In the beginning the Word already was...

"Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even...

"And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;" (Rev 3:14 KJV) If you wish to stay with the KJV, which is a great translation, you must use a dictionary that is somewhere close to the...

Matthew Poole (1624-1679) "Perhaps the only true rival to Matthew Henry! A standard for more than 400 years, Poole's insightful commentary continues to be a trusted resource for pastors and laypeople. Offering verse-by-verse exposition, he also includes summaries for each chapter and book...

The wife is to be subordinate, true, and the husband is to lead and rule with love; not as seen in Islam and in situations where a husband is a wife-beater. Violence, that to my mind cancels out and nullifies the marriage bond, and the wife has every write to divorce the devil! Also, from...

The Bible command "love your neighbor as yourself" is not a static abstraction into which mortal man is permitted to insert his ideas of love and morality; it is a dynamic, a code of conduct that is given by God. It is the Almighty, NOT man who determines love and morality. It is a command...

You are giving an example of humanism, man's reasoning when there is no law in scripture that states as much. The laws regulating treatment of slaves shows the masters are to love the slave as if they were the ones in that situation in life. In life, those who live under a king are blessed if...

I do not see where that passage reads that "we 'all' are called to go and make disciples of all nations". The passage in context reads: "Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. And...

Bob, you keep bringing up slavery, but can you produce one single verse in all the Bible that condemns slavery as sin? Slavery in centuries past was a fact of life, and the Bible regulated slavery to make it humane, but nowhere can I find where it is called sin. The humanists can whine about...

"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." (Matt 24:34 KJV) "Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways." (Heb 3:10 KJV) "This generation" means that generation to...

To say God's word was merely making a prediction, you must ignore the parallel phrase in Gn. 4:7, and also you must claim higher understanding by inspiration than the Apostle Paul on this statement in Gn. 3:16. I'll go with Paul rather than Bob Estey.

From the most feminist friendly translation, the NRSV Updated Edition, the text reads: "To the woman he said, 'I will make your pangs in childbirth exceedingly great; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.'” (Gn 3:16...

You have posted a very interesting article. I want to study it more because it seems I'm in agreement with it. I look at the church, as God's New Covenant people, Israel continued... not replaced. I accept the RSV rendering of the following: "But far be it from me to glory except in the...

Randy, I think we agree on this matter. I embrace the 1646 First London Confession of Faith as best representing my understanding of Scripture. There is an Appendix to that Confession written by Benjamin Cox and on law it reads: "IX Though we that believe in Christ, be not under the law, but...

Where or when was the Sabbath abolished? I'll give you the passages. Where do you find the command to keep the Sabbath? It is in the Old Covenant, specifically in the Ten Commandments. What happened to those Ten Commandments at the first Advent? "In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath...

For those who are interested in the early millennialist's views, read the article I referenced, and provided the link. The article was written by: "Dana Netherton is a freelance writer with a Ph.D. in church history from the University of London." I'm not sure how many premillennialists...

Robert Lewis Dabney, Presbyterian Theologian and Philosopher, (1820-1898) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Lewis_Dabney R. L. Dabney is my favorite theologian, even though he is Presbyterian and I am Baptist. He warned soon after the War Between the States as follows: "But the American...

There is evidence that NOT "all of the early church fathers were Premil" - "Justin Martyr (c.100-c.165) shared Papias's millennial expectation. In his Dialogue with Trypho, Justin affirmed his expectation that the faithful departed would rise from the dead and reign with Christ for a thousand...

Beatitude means blessedness, and as defined: Blessed - Oxford: Endowed with divine favor and protection. Theological Dictionary of the NT - Often, then, we find sacred paradoxes (Mt. 5:3ff.; Lk. 6:20ff.). God effects a reversal of all human values. True happiness is not for the rich and secure...
