    Is God Magnanimous? - (as opposed to tyrannical)

    I have given this issue a little thought... The problem we have in classifying God - is that He is Holy 'other' We cant expect Him to align with human morality - vengence is mine is a good example - it is OK for Him to have it but not us. The anger of man will not accomplish the purposes of...

    The Peshitta - the Aramaic Bible translation

    Yep, pretty close to KJV. The existence of this translation would seem to confirm others mainly, and instill confidence in the process of rightly recording events, rather than introducing new revelation it seems. Apart from that ya gotta love it !!!

    The Peshitta - the Aramaic Bible translation

    Just wondering if the Peshitta contributes to any particular theological issues or throws light on matters not clear in other translations. Is it then more than an interesting read ???

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    I am puzzled - when did I personally correct or cause anyone to doubt the Living Word of God. Is it normal to slander folks on this forum ? I think it good to discuss topics but to incessantly falsely accuse members is not a good look and not honouring the Lord or the member.

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Someone help me here... Is it normally accepted on this forum to slanderously attack a member because they disagree with your theological position? Fabricate a false statement of the members beliefs and pronounce them reprobate ???

    Then you don't understand my position on the topic. Your shot at describing it is totally false. A sad example of seriously false accusation.

    Really ??? You know nothing about me... Romans 14 13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    However looking at Acts, the Word of God was referred to as the verbal witness of the evangelists - not a written text. So there is a clear mandate to share the Gospel without Scripture. (not that I recommend it, because when you have it, it is good to use it)

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    We seem to have the claim then that the KJV is higher than God because of one verse therein. “I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” (Psalms 138:2, KJV) Most translations do not...

    So all the missionary endeavours that don't translate exclusively from KJV will come to naught? How come the Glorious Throng will be from every Tribe Nation and Tongue ???

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Great - we got there... I think the KJV is great but I don't think it has some divine exclusivity. Does that mean more english speakers will go to heaven ?

    OK so it must be KJV... ??? So only the KJV is the 'Word of God'... ??

    Are you really serious ? Do you mean all your work in identifying errors in translation is of the devil ???

    Are you serious ??? More false accusations aimed at discrediting the messenger to avoid the message. You claim a translation is perfect - which one?
