    The saints of Israel

    Episkopos said: >> "And if you were careful, you would see how many Gentiles are in the lineage of king David...and by extension...Jesus. Was Rahab Jewish? What of Ruth? Bathsheba? Tamar?" You are SO wrong in just about everything you have said, but I will address the first error. First of...

    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    Amen!! That's something I have learned to follow in recent years! My only regret is that I did not realize it long ago. "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will...

    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    Hi Nancy, I am new to this forum, but your name has become familiar to me, as one I respect and who possesses discernment. I started out with the KJV when I was 12 years of age. I had to hide it in my bedroom so no one would know what I was up to. Like you, the KJV English has become like a...

    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    So . . it is your opinion that we should ignore the work of the wonderful highly educated saints that God has given us, and have devoted their entire life to studying Scripture and providing us with the very best God has guided them to offer. So the advice you are offering, is to ignore the...

    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    Not me>> how could Christ be born the Bruiser of the serpent? Christ isn't the bruiser! Satan is the "bruiser", a recoverable wound. Christ is the "crusher"! A fatal wound.

    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    I disagree that the KJV is the best and safest to have. A lot of new manuscripts and new information has come to light over the 400 years since the KJV was written. And the majority of prominent scholars consider the NASB as the most accurate translation of today. For ME, it provides an...

    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    Okay Notme, I concede! That judgement was directed to the entire world; all of humanity! And all of humanity consisted of the only two people on earth. <giggle>

    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    My first Bible was a KJV, which is about all that was available 65 years ago in 1954. Then I got a Schofield reference Bible in 1962. Then I went to the NASB, and followed by the NASB Ryrie Study Bible after it came out in 1995, and I like it the best. IMO NASB is the gold standard for literal...

    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    I understand that. My only question was about one thing only, and that was the apparent problem you seem to have with the title of the Epistle presented in the KJV; nothing else.

    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    No. But I assumed you had a good reason for doing so.

    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    I was only asking why the various titles given to the book were important, and particularly the KJV using the title "The Epistle Of Paul The Apostle To The Hebrews" as has been done for almost 2000 years.

    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    Not me references >> Matthew 12:21, which is a quote from Isaiah address specifically to Israel: "But you, Israel, My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, Descendant of Abraham My friend" Isaiah 41:8 Same goes for Romans 15. a quote from Isaiah: Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts, “O My...

    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    Notme says >> In the OT the Gentiles were included in the all nations, meaning the prophecies were directed to all of humanity. Nope. Notme says >> Genesis 22:18 (NASB) "In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice." Nope! That was not...

    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    Since this is the only Epistle Paul wrote in Hebrew, and specifically addresses the Old Covenant, it seems pretty reasonable to assume it was written to the Hebrews. And the “us” would be Paul's kindred brothers, as were the prophets. I don't recall any prophecies being directed at any other...

    The Epistle To The Hebrews

    What is the significance of the various headings translators used for Paul's Epistle to the Hebrews? The KJV uses "The Epistle Of Paul The Apostle to the Hebrews," NASB and ESV uses "The Letter to the Hebrews You say >> "there is no manuscript evidence to support it. The oldest and most...

    Why Do You Go/or not go to Church?

    Whatever!! I wouldn't believe anything Tullian Tchividjian says. He has lived as a true servant of Satan, creating mass destruction within the church, wherever he went. He has been deemed by the Presbyterian Church, amongst others to be "unfit for ministry".

    Why Do You Go/or not go to Church?

    John Wesley played an important role in my family history. I come from a group of hundreds of Palatines who fled Germany in 1709, and set up colonies in south Ireland in 1709. The Lutheran religion was as evil and anti-semitic as it is today with it's BDS hatred. So basically a totally dead...

    Why Do You Go/or not go to Church?

    shnarkle, Although I have attended Pentecostal churches, I am not a Pentecostal either. I remember my first experience with a full blown holy roller Pentecostal church with my father when I was 6 years old. It was a total nuthouse! I asked my father if they were all drunk! Pentecostals tend to...

    Why Do You Go/or not go to Church?

    The hymns of old often contained a profound sermon of truth. These days, the Gaithers still have an important message in each of their songs, but the present day 7-11 junk often does little more than repeat the same word over and over. And unlike real hymns, the tune would play in your head all...
