    Fear of HELL

    Hi Madad, What is it about Hell that you fear? Do you have doubts about your own salvation?

    If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans8:31

    If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans8:31 Do not be discouraged at the difficulties and oppositions that will rise up before you when you begin resolvedly to walk with God. Discouragements turn multitudes from religion, and provide a great temptation for many young beginners to turn...

    What is faith.

    First, unless you're "Illuminator" you really should cite your source when you quote someone verbatim. Now, let's look at Illuminator's 3 step faith program and see if it corresponds to Scripture. Rom 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. -ESV Let's look...

    Majority Text, Textus Receptus or Critical Text?

    What part of "Erasmus constructed the TR with about six manuscripts" and "The Majority Text differs from the Textus Receptus in almost 2,000 places" don't you understand? What we have here is someone digging their heels in and refusing to deal with the facts. I give you scholars such as Kurt...

    Majority Text, Textus Receptus or Critical Text?

    I probably should have explained the difference a little more for those who are not familiar with this issue. Erasmus constructed the TR with about six manuscripts. That's all he had and most scholars would agree that he did a pretty good job with what he had at his disposal. We now possess...

    Are Christians sinners?

    The title of this thread is "Are Christians sinners." Let's let Scripture decide. 1Ti 1:15 The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. The Apostle Paul, at the time he wrote this verse...

    Yes, Daniel Wallace's articles are always informative. Thanks for the link.

    Majority Text, Textus Receptus or Critical Text?

    This is incorrect. The TR and the Majority Text are not identical. "But the TR is hardly identical with the majority text, for the TR has numerous places where it is supported by few or no Greek manuscripts." - Daniel B. Wallace...

    The Church is Not the Source of Truth

    I'm only going to comment on this particular passage as it is representative of the Roman Catholic penchant to twist Scripture beyond recognition. When it comes to the Jerusalem Council, Peter was not in charge. This is not open to debate unless you're illiterate or insane. It matters very...

    Majority Text, Textus Receptus or Critical Text?

    Yes, the KJV and the like utilize italics to alert the reader to words that are added for clarification or simply to translate Greek or Hebrew into good readable English. In many cases there is no such thing as a one to one correspondence (word for word) between the original languages and...

    Political Debate

    The one on the left (physical left that is :D ), has a lot to say. The other one just laughs.

    Majority Text, Textus Receptus or Critical Text?

    Neophyte presented the facts of the matter as they stand. I re posted his/her comments below. The Comma Johanneum, or 1 John 5:7-8 may not be genuine. I know this upsets many people, but we have to deal with the facts that we have before us. The basic argument is this; Can a genuine passage of...

    The Church is Not the Source of Truth

    I"m sorry I couldn't get to this today. I"ll post some info tomorrow on 1 John 5:7,8, commonly known as the Comma Johanneum.

    The Church is Not the Source of Truth

    I would be happy to discuss textual criticism later this evening. I'm wondering if we should take this particular topic to Hammerstone's thread found here - http://www.christianityboard.com/topic/16847-majority-text-textus-receptus-or-critical-text/page__hl__%22critical+text%22

    Hurricane Sandy

    Well, we got through it o.k. and we didn't loose power. Some did and some didn't. The transit system is still shut down. No school for the kiddies. Lots of fallen trees and tree limbs. Now it's time to clean up the messes that were left behind. I want to thank you all for your prayers and...
