    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    Luke 10:25-28 (KJB) 25 “And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    I am 100% aware of the story of Joseph and how God used the evil of Joseph’s brothers and turned it around for a great purpose for good in the end. This is not new to me. I am also aware that the evil that men did to Jesus Christ was also for a greater plan for good that was for the salvation...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    So you believe God made Rahab to lie in accordance with His good will? While God has a permissive will (in that He allows people to make their own choices), that does not mean He desired Rahab to lie as a part of His good will for her life. God is good, and He does not want people to sin...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    So if believers can lie to save lives, then what else can believers do? The idea of course is would you beat up helpless people in a hospital bed, or random poor people on the street and or become a porn star or drug addict if it would save lives? Where is the line drawn? What sins would you...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    I don’t believe Rahab initially trusted God when she encountered the two spies. She feared God and what He did, but that is not exactly trust yet. She believed that He was the true God but that is no trust in God yet. She feared God and desired mercy from God’s people because of the kindness...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    The Bible has to be read in context to the rest of the Bible. If we were to just take isolated passages in the Bible and apply them at random to our lives, we could end up wanting to go and chop off people's heads who are defying the living God (like Goliath did). However, this is simply not...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    In the Old Testament God commanded the taking of life of pagan nations because the pagan nations sought to destroy the Israelites and because God needed to show that sin will be punished, as well. Revelation says all liars will have their part in the Lake of Fire and so if Rahab did lie, should...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    I don’t think a Christian who has reached a state of overcoming sin in this life is going to boast in themselves but they are going to boast in Jesus Christ (Who is God). So those who seek to add memes to suggest that I am seeking to pat myself on the back are simply misguided about what I...

    There is no lying needed. I have already demonstrated that the Westcott and Hort 1881 text and the Nestle and Aland 27th edition text (1993) are both influenced by the Catholic Church. You don’t have to be a private detective to figure it out.

    Your not making any sense. He is comparing the Westcott and Hort 1881 with the Nestle and Aland. Both are influenced by Catholicism. If you are Catholic, or you don’t mind Catholics subtly altering your Bible, there is no need to have any further discussion. But if you are against...

    To all: Now, some may criticize the King James Bible because not everyone on the planet speaks in English. However, the King James is available in other languages: Textus Receptus in Spanish (RVG 2010): https://www.amazon.com/Santa-Biblia-Rústica-Valera-Spanish/dp/0758907567/ King James...

    Did I say that they are precisely and exactly the same? No. A Textual Critic (Who is not KJV Only) says this about the differences between the “Westcott and Hort (1881) text”, vs. the “Nestle and Aland 28th edition text.” “The thing to see is that the text of 100 years ago (i.e., in 1980, the...

    Modern Translations Are Not Inerrant: If there is one mistake in God’s Word then it is not His Holy Word. Modern Translations clearly show a lack of their own inerrancy. (Note: Click on the image chart above to zoom in closer if desired). The King James Version is accurate in its use of...

    To all: Today’s deception is that the Westcott and Hort text is somehow radically different than the Nestle and Aland NT Greek text. I know I stated this before, but it needs to be said again (Because apparently it is not being received). Some try to say that the Modern Bibles are not based...

    Here is a list of confessions of faith by different churches over the years involving the King James Bible: The General Baptists of England published the "Orthodox Creed" In 1678. It says, "And by the holy Scriptures we understand the canonical books of the Old and New Testament, AS THEY ARE...

    Born Again = Not a Sinner

    It’s talking about how these ungodly men were ordained (or written before of old - Greek - see here) about how they would fall and turn God’s grace into a license for immorality (by the use of other suggestive words). Written before (or ordained) of when? Behold. Jeremiah 23:1-2 says, ”Woe be...

    A Brief Look at the KJV vs the Modern Translations in American History: Abraham Lincoln had used and quoted from a King James Bible. Old school literary authors quoted from the King James Bible. It's influence here in America can never be forgotten. Riots broke out here in America over their...

    I disagree with Dr. Gene Kim on his understanding on this. Mr. Kim erroneously thinks it is referring to a pagan holiday. I would recommend checking out the 3 dollar book called, Don’t Passover Easter at Amazon’s Kindle Store. Really worthwhile read. He goes into how William Tyndale...

    So how would you reply to a video like this? While Gene Kim could be a lot more loving in his approach (and I do not agree with his view of Soteriology), he does make some really good points that does not really fit with the Textual Critic viewpoint. I do disagree also with Gene Kim’s view...
