How do you apply Romans 13? Fornication is defined as having relations when not married. Do you think fornicators will inherit God’s Kingdom?

It’s not my scheme. It’s Paul’s by inspiration. You can do with it what you like. Obviously many who say they are Christians dismiss what Paul wrote. There certainly is no one without sin. Thanks to God that he gave his Son as a ransom for us. There are Christians who do not practice the types...

1 Corinthians 6:9, 10 NASB “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will...

What is your basis for believing that “I am” ever means God? While theos has different levels of use, it still always translates as God or god. What will happen to those who fail to have faith that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God, the Messiah? Will they not die in their sins? Ego eimi...

As you are a Koine Greek scholar, I would like to know your thoughts on comparing John 8:24 and John 9:9. John 8:24 NASB “Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins.” John 9:9 NASB “Others were saying, “This is...

I suggest you use Biblegateway to look at all the translations of John 8:24. You will find only a few that read “I AM.” The great majority read “I am he” or “I am the one.”

While you are researching various translations, realize that since they committed such fraud with the Johannine Comma, you should look to see what else was corrupted and why did they did it.

In addition to Smith and Goodspeed consider these: James Moffatt New Testament "THE Logos existed in the very beginning, the Logos was with God, the Logos was divine." Robert Young - Concise Commentary Commentary on the Holy Bible “AND THE WORD WAS GOD,] more lit. ‘and a god (i.e. a Divine...

Seriously? You make these accusations with inflammatory language like “steaming pile” and this is all you have? Anyone can quote condemnatory verses back and forth. What is gained by that?

Agree or disagree regarding the NWT rendering of John 1:1c but it is a fact that the use of the indefinite article is at least disputed among Bible translators. What is not arguable is that the great majority of Bibles have replaced the Tetragrammaton with Adonai over 6,800 times. The...

Phillip B. Garner wrote that clauses such as the one in John 1:1 “with an anarthrous predicate preceding the verb, are primarily qualitative in meaning. They indicate that the logos has the nature of theos. There is no basis for regarding the predicate theos as definite.” On p. 87 of his...

So the work of almost all Bible translators over the last 120 years is corrupted? They are all members of some cult? Are the discoveries like the Dead Sea Scrolls just the result of some conspiracy? Did men land on the moon? Is Elvis alive?

Here are some quotes regarding Colwell’s rule. Colwell himself said: "The following rules may be tentatively formulated....definite predicate nouns which precede the verb usually lack the article.."-Journal of Biblical Literature,Vol.52,1933,p.20. "According, from the point of view of grammar...

It amazes me to watch all the intense arguments about the accuracy of Bible translations among those who seem to have no problem with replacing the Tetragrammaton with Adonai 6,800 times in the Hebrew Scriptures. That is 6,800 falsehoods. Not just errors. Falsehoods. I appreciate the KJV...

So almost all Bible translators over the last 120+ years are a “cult” whose work is a “steaming pile?”

It’s the singer who is bad, not the song.

In response to the mention of the “RCC’s history of unimaginable cruelty” you said: “The Protestant Inquisition was just as bad, if not worse.” What kind of a defense is that? I am aware of Protestant persecutions and I never considered keeping score. Both are indefensible and disqualifying...

You can’t just follow men who lived while the apostles were still living or shortly thereafter. Paul said: “I know that after my going away oppressive wolves will enter in among you and will not treat the flock with tenderness, and from among you yourselves men will rise and speak twisted...

Proverbs 18:6, 7 “The speech of the stupid one leads to quarrels, and his mouth invites a beating. The mouth of the stupid is his ruin, and his lips are a snare for his life.”

“Be on the watch for the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves. 16 By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they? 17 Likewise, every good tree produces fine fruit, but every...
