Thank you, dragonfly. That helps to make my point. There are many pagan origins (not practices) of things we have in the Protestant church because they came from Roman Catholicism. Luther broke away from Catholicism spiritually, but not structurally, meaning many "traditions" are continued in...

Well, I can't answer for you or anyone else, but spreading the gospel is 365 for me. I wasn't talking about our brethren's receptivity but rather the open hearts of the unbelievers that I encounter. Best to lift up Jesus and He will draw all men to Him, rather than get onto side discussions...

Dear Sir, As you are likely to be engaged in controversy, and your love of truth is joined with natural warmth of temper, my friendship makes me solicitous on your behalf. You are of the strongest side; for truth is great, and must prevail; so that a person of abilities inferior to yours...

Oh sure, there are all kinds of "ironies" you can find wrong with it. However, I have found that many unbelievers are more receptive to the Gospel during the Christmas season. I don't know what your experience is, but that's mine. Also, no reason to alienate brethren over it, is there? I know a...

There is no freedom outside of Christ. All other "freedoms" are just man-made and passing away. What man gives he can take away. But he can never take away your freedom in Christ, if, you are indeed "in Christ".

Thank you. I don't know anyone that "blends Pagan worship" with Christianity. I do now people that have Christmas trees, though.

Rae, We're not going to convince him and that's OK. If the Lord wants him to change his thinking on this, then He knows how to get through to him. I just need to know for myself that it's not a good thing. Having smoked a lot of it when I was younger, I have the wrong spiritual experiences to...

Tasty? That is a relative term, then. I think it tastes terrible. Yeah, weed makes you not take life seriously. Your definitely high, right now.

Raeneske, Do you sit in a church building with pews and is there a lectern and/or a pulpit for the preacher? These came from Roman Catholicism. Do you light candles? This also came from Roman Catholicism. Church buildings did not begin to be built until after Constantine "legalized"...

I don't think you want either one of those (NKJV or NASB). Check here. Did you know that the NKJV has harder words than the KJV? One reason I like the KJV is that it is easier to read. But don't take my word, check it out for yourself. After you look at these comparisons, you may just say to...

Thanks, I will take a look at that Bible, Vet. Reading the Bible does not cause confusion in me. It dispels it especially when guided by the Holy Spirit.

Yeah, Satan has his scribes and translators too, and has been very successful at watering down the Scriptures with new versions. He can't get rid of the KJV so he invents new ones.

By Eric M. Pazdziora I think I finally figured out what Christmas trees are really about. A while ago I found a blog article on the subject of our friend Mr. Tannenbaum. Apparently (the author observed) some folks believe that Christmas trees are pagan symbols that the church has adopted in...

A lot of people think the stories in the OT are just that: Stories. Stories to drive home a spiritual point. The fact is that what happened in the OT truly happened, on the ground to real people. God always uses examples in the physical realm to teach us what is happening in the spiritual realm...

Amen, Dragonfly. People never stop to think that "Translators" have theological viewpoints, too. Like the original OP says, "It has served us well for 400 years." Why would you move on from something that "has served us well?" Move on to what? What we have below? Let's show the differences...

Ahh, that's not nice to say. Let's keep the conversation on the translators and the translations. There is always someone that can be bashed on all sides who may be extreme. That's exactly correct, Veteran. Thank you for setting the record straight. That is exactly correct, Rex. It does go...

Amen, Veteran. It is the best English Bible and most accurate Bible (faithful to the original manuscripts), today. My children read the KJV and are not too lazy to look up words. Their vocabulary grew from reading the KJV. Also, the KJV has a natural rhythm and syncopation to it so it is much...

Whether they dwell within or are attached without, God is not so fragile that He has to constantly flee and leave the subject to fend for himself. When Israel was invaded countless times through their wicked sin, did God depart? He would certainly lower His hedge of protection but He was still...

You could conclude from looking at the Church that 98% of "Believers" are lost and not walking with God (that's what most people do) or you could conclude that many are in dire need of ministry that "sets the captives free". Ministry of proper teaching and prayer. We have this picture of...
