    What Makes a Bible Version a Paraphrase?

    As stated in my reply to HiddenInHim we were speaking of the next age following the “common salvation” (Jude 3) during the resurrection of judgement. “Behold the days are coming” not yet, but very soon in which, “No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying...

    What Makes a Bible Version a Paraphrase?

    I believe we already addressed this in our previous post, but for further clarification, in regards to your first question like the rest of the world of mankind if they do not accept Christ there is no hope for them, there is no other way save through Christ. If any refuse as was stated, they...

    All Power is Given unto Me

    When was this “All power in heaven and earth” given to our Lord? When He was glorified with the Father on the morning of His resurrection and became the first-born son (of the new creation), and (40 days later) when he presented the merit of his sacrifice to the Father (to justice), and...

    What Makes a Bible Version a Paraphrase?

    First of all this was not meant as an insult in anyway nor was I questioning your spirituality, nevertheless if a reproof or correction is proven necessary the man of God should not frown upon such, but rather should accept it as evidence that the Lord is dealing with him. Even the spiritually...

    What Makes a Bible Version a Paraphrase?

    Unfortunately my friend you are looking at it from the natural man’s perspective and missing the spiritual significance. As we had stated, the apostle here was quoting Gen 25:23 and Malachi 1:2, 3 and using them in a metaphoric sense as depicting a type and an antitype. The thought is that...

    How to Choose a Bible Translation, Part 2

    In order to objectively distinguish accuracy of the English versions of the Bible, lists of corrections to the AV were prepared before evaluating any translation. Corrections included care with verb tenses, nouns, and punctuation, doctrinally sensitive texts, consistent translation, use of...

    How to Choose a Bible Translation, Part 1

    This information comes from an excellent article entitled, “How to Choose a Bible Translation” by James Parkinson “Which translation of the Bible is best for the devoted Christian? How faithful is it to the Word of God in the original Hebrew/Aramaic or Greek? How much should the Christian...

    What Makes a Bible Version a Paraphrase?

    Let us use a comparison. The declaration, "Jacob have I loved and Esau have I hated" (Rom. 9:13), is to many a "hard saying," because the word “hated” seems to carry with it an antagonism which would be unjustified--so far as the human mind can discern --by anything that Esau did worse than...

    What Makes a Bible Version a Paraphrase?

    Dynamic Equivalence verses Formal Equivalence The following is an extract from an article written by Daniel B. Wallace, professor of New Testament Studies which might help in this discussion. Most laymen today think that a faithful translation of the Bible means a word-for-word translation. If...

    Separation of Church and State

    Who's running and hiding? Those who run and hide are generally those who are afraid of persecution, of suffering for the truth and for Christ sake. It is not necessary for one to vote nor to take part in the politics of this world to suffer for Christ, just letting your light shine will prove...

    Separation of Church and State

    Is there a law in the land in which you live that states all citizens are required to vote? If there is then as a Christian you are compelled to live by the laws of the land in which you reside, if not than you are not under this obligation. As the salt of the earth true Christians are supposed...

    The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats, Part 5

    Then follows the message to those on the left--"Depart from me ye cursed (condemned)"--condemned, as unfit vessels for the glory and honor of life, which chose not to yield to the molding and shaping influences of divine love. When these my brethren (the world of mankind then raised) were...

    The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats, Part 4

    The dead nations when again brought into existence will need food, and raiment, and shelter. However great may have been their possessions in this life, death will have brought all to a common level; the infant and the old man, the millionaire and the pauper, the learned and the unlearned, the...

    The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats, Part 3

    The gradual work of separating sheep and goats will require all of the Millennial Age for its accomplishment. During that age, each individual as he comes gradually to knowledge of God and his will, by conforming or not conforming thereto takes his place at the right hand of favor, or the left...

    The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats, Part 2

    APPLICATION OF THIS PARABLE Next follows a description of the work of the Millennial Age. "Before Him shall be gathered all nations" This means all the people of the world outside of the Lord's holy nation, His peculiar people, the Church. Everybody except the Church will be before His great...

    The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats, Part 1

    “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right...

    Separation of Church and State

    The alternative is to accept meekly the will of the Lord. The very reason why Great Babylon exist today is because professed followers of Christ took it upon themselves to attempt to establish (i.e. force) Christ kingdom (actually their own version of that kingdom) upon the world before its...

    Separation of Church and State

    It is indeed a sad spectacle to see so many deluded Christians in support of this present evil world, this is nowhere better evidenced then in their constant meddling in politics and in the affairs of government in their vain efforts of averting the downward direction of this nation. Had they...

    Left behind- interesting christian movie

    Unfortunately my friend this method has been tried before by all the fire and brimstone preachers of the past, i.e. lets scare them into believing. This method fells to develop true faith, for one cannot truly love with all their heart, mind and soul the God which these preachers depict.

    Prelude to the Dark Night, Part 4

    Continued from our previous post. The scriptures speak of a “Great” earthquake yet to come (Rev 16:18; Ezek 38:19, 20), and although this is SYMBOLIC of the “great time of trouble” soon approaching, with its eruption (earthquake) of revolution and turmoil leading to anarchy, wherein every man’s...
