    Oklahoma orders first shipment of Bibles for use in public school classrooms

    My post that you quoted was asking if the KJV was suitable for the students to read considering the differences in the language between when the KJV was written and the English usage of today. We really need to be wise when we give children bibles to read. When our granddaughter asked us for a...

    Israel

    I have not changed my opinion that many of the posts in this thread are based on false premises like Israel will be gathered by God to the Land of Canaan and that they will rebuild the temple. But Jesus clearly states that Israel will not have the means to complete the rebuilding of the temple...

    Post #57 Post #81 QT, I have fully thought through the implications of my post #57 fully and understand the significance of what I had posted. Perhaps you are not as well versed.

    It seems to me that you did not understand what I had penned in #57 and turned to your usual replacement theology.

    Jesus in Luke 14:28-30, speaks of a tower/temple being built during this present time which goes like this: - Luke 14:28-30: - 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower/temple, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it— 29 lest, after he has laid the...

    Now you are talking rubbish and unbiblically.

    Israel

    Sorry QT, but you are trying to put words in my mouth as if I have dismissed the authority of Jesus, Paul and John as well as other NT authors and insisted that the OT writers had a flawless paradigm. What Amos was pointing to, was a time in our near future, when Israel will become a Kingdom of...

    Israel

    Taking any particular biblical passage out of its intended context is always fraught with problems. We cannot apply what Paul wrote many years after Amos was written about, as including those who are spiritually a descendant of Abraham, as you are forcing a very different understanding which is...

    I am afraid that you do not understand that I am actually defending God's recorded words in both the Hebrew and Greek texts. Yes, the translations do need correction because they are giving the wrong understanding to the people who are reading them. Just because you have 40 translations that...

    But do you know what they should be saying? That is the question that I have about your understanding of what God actually had recorded in this case of the Hebrew text. That does not qualify you if you have not validated the contextual accuracy of the bibles that you have read. I can claim...

    Tips on how to memorize bible verses?

    memorising the scriptures locks us into an understanding to inhibits a person from changing His understand of what he may actually read.

    Contextually, Israel here has the meaning of the Descendants of Jacob in Amos 9:14 and God is intending to gather all of the descendants of Jacob to Himself from where they are living, scattered throughout the whole earth and plant them in His fertile field. The Parable of the Sower in three...

    This just shows that you have not checked out the contextual accuracy of the translation that you use. I simply disagree with your understanding from your flawed translation.

    Which translation is that?

    Israel

    Hey Jack, Ezekiel 34 disagrees with this understanding metaphorically. For Israel to be a blessing to all of the Gentiles in the latter days, the nation of Israel must remain scattered throughout all of the earth. Therefore, what you are claiming must be false.

    What is your qualification to claim that I am wrong in the paraphrase of those three verses that I posted. Have you personally verified for yourself that I have made an error in my paraphrasing of these three verses, or have you just blindly accepted that the translators are "right" in their...

    Israel

    What the translators missed were the metaphors hidden in plain sight in Amos 9:13-15. This is how I believe these verses should be paraphrased: - Amos 9:13-15: - 13 "Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord, "When the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, And the treader of grapes him who...

    Israel

    My observation is that people do not have an understanding of God's timeline at all. God foretold that the visitation of the iniquities of the fathers during the first and second ages of Israel's existence from the time of the birth of Isaac for indulging in idolatrous worship on the mountain...
