    Thank you for sharing, Bob.

    Why is the need to study the bible for yourself; important?

    Oh yeah, that antichrist did come and is long gone, @Hobie. Those are great passages but again this all boils down to who were those written to, and was Jesus write about their generation. (Sure people can be antichrist now but many people misappropriate nations as nations today instead of those...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Well, a real rendering needs to take in chapter to chapter; verse by verse. That is the responsiblity to all individuals in the world who are able to read and write - that have heard of the Lord Jesus if they desire to know more about them. Everyone starts out as a babe, some people stay in...

    Why is the need to study the bible for yourself; important?

    I disagree @Michiah-Imla. In the end it boils down to do people by the spirit: love. Love God, and their fellow man. They also are told to love themselves (a term which I use to think of as negative.) To love one self is to seek out wisdom, and learning and understanding. Proverbs 19:8 The one...

    Did Jesus tell the Pharisees that they were gods? - John 10:34

    Learning is what is fun friend. :) Learning is a good thing, a wise choice to go and do. The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper. (Proverbs 19:8) 36 But he who fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death.” (Proverbs 8:36 speaking...

    Putting away Childish things (NASB1977)

    Love is good, and God is love. :) Amen. It's hard to allow the spirit of Christ to love through a person. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Thompson Chain Reference NKJV (Updated and revised 2023) is one of the best in my opinion. It's really about the heart of an individual in the end, do they desire to do Gods will, and have a heart for God or not. :) There could be some corrupted bibles out there is no denying that here cause I...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    It shouldn't be about correcting people, but sharing truth with one another. There are those who will consider information, then check out the sources, then either change their mind or not change their mind. I really like the fact that there are so many different translations out in the world...

    Here is some information, via Holman Study Bible: NKJV Large Print Edition, Hardcover: Holman Bible Publishers: 9781433607509: Amazon.com: Books. - I definitely never purposely bought this book, it was sent by mistake and I kept it. Psalms 82:6-7 Kings who failed to perform responsibly and...

    Be honest with God. Tell him you are afraid, scared, angry, frustrated, hate him, love him...

    Be honest with God. Tell him you are afraid, scared, angry, frustrated, hate him, love him. Yahava is a good God, and His Son suffered under all the stresses found under the sun. Just be honest!

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    Its so important for people to study and read and learn what the overall arching story is in the bible. Its about restoring mankind back to original state. It has been done. Everyone now has access to Yahava/Yahweh through Yeshua. Because of Adam we still must die. And because of Jesus all...

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    People must seek truth if they desire the truth that shall set them free. Its petty to come badger me @gpresdo, best stay on topic, ill will have no issue but to report you though if you continue to goad. Is God still sending to people to hell? Its yes if Jesus has yet to come back. Its no...

    Faith healings don't happen anymore; can you prove otherwise? (Either the age has passed or it has not)

    This is why Context is so important cause while people may mean well if they arent standing on solid foundation, they are instead building a house in the sand that is can topple over in the troubles of life.

    Faith healings don't happen anymore; can you prove otherwise? (Either the age has passed or it has not)

    The greatest healing is one of the heart in my opinion, blessedpeace. What should someone do in the face of praying in Jesus name and they are not healed as far some ailment? Some people can get frustrated and upset and fall away from faith or even trusting God, therefore how does one reason...

    Not a fan of reformed theology, personally. There is a lot one can do with those claims and actually using the bible itself and by the spirit discern truth.

    Faith healings don't happen anymore; can you prove otherwise? (Either the age has passed or it has not)

    That is true, @The Learner. Sometimes those great sighs in life are the holy spirit praying for us in unexpressive words.
