    What Bible Translation are you using?

    Learned it from C. Clay, if you don't know what you're doing, dazzle um with foot work. What I do understand is you're going to receive a paygrade increase - I know you don't deserve it, I didn't either. With it comes a little more responsibility. When we simply read our Bible translation...

    The Catholic Church

    Thank you for your response again! Wow! Your more gutsy than me! Don't worry, our Lord Jesus standing right beside you! That was well put forth, to say the least!!! Old Jack, btw did my thesis and dissertation on this decades ago, ie, because of it was reduced in paygrade having to start...

    Whose coming is after the working of Satan is who or what?

    Thank you my brother! I was going to start a thread many times over dealing with higher levels demons, however too far out there, and doubt would be discussed, however will now introduce you the 'grasshoppers' of Rev. chapter 9 where unbelievably this judgment comes from our Lord in heaven...

    Whose coming is after the working of Satan is who or what?

    IIThess.2:9 Satan in his person is suppose to be lurking around deceiving so who is this? Or is Satan in his person locked up behind bars for a time? Old Jack, ie, couple of issues.

    What Bible Translation are you using?

    Thank you for your response! The N.T. writers often appropriated passages from the LXX where they corrected LXX's passages as the LXX was inferior of course. Liked those corrections along with my NA-27 with it's critical apparatii. Don't forget the hyperbaton of the ancient Hebrew and Greek...

    IITim.2:15, "Cutting the Word of Truth Straight"

    You hit the ball out of the ballpark! :) Us ol' Christian coots have to stick together - excellent response! Younger ones rightfully moving up in paygrades. Ever give much thought to why translations are so extremely interpretive just by default of being translations, ie, noting also the...

    "Free" Will

    Thank you again folks for caring! Only another head's up regarding "Atonement." The Scriptures often speaks of the atonement as limited, then often speaks of the atonement as unlimited; however always to be viewed as "Universal Atonement." Old Jack two-bits again

    The Catholic Church

    Thank you brakelite and Martin I was just wondering about the bottom line in all this which I pretty much agree with although I'm less than the least, paygrade wise for sure. Now if I could control the 'economics' of all the nations behind the scenes, then I wonder if this would amount to...

    What required for going to Heaven?

    Thank you folks for caring! Only a head's up. God's fulllll name, yet He is one God, yet exists in three Persons, is "Of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost." Old Jack btw Jesus is the Godman Jesus' personal name.

    Is it just me?

    Thank you folks for caring! I think the bottom line is Rom.3:18 (Ps.36:) where not only our children (in my case they're all above 53) lack a fear of our Lord - my oldest daughter has a fear for sure, but even our Church members where they really think they can offend and at times even provoke...

    What do you consider is "Fundamentalism"

    Thank you for caring! So are you interpreting Rev.3:15-16 literally, symbolically, or bothly? Old curious Jack

    Are there any Holy Ghost Tongue Talkers in here?

    Old Jack's two-bits, ICor.12:10, "someone else varieties of tongues while to another interpretation of tongues." Put away your sling-shots guys, ie, only an opinion. The interpreter understood the language that was spoken or written, and translated the sense of what was spoken or written so...

    IITim.2:15, "Cutting the Word of Truth Straight"

    Thank you for your respon Thank you for your response! Question: Was God the Holy Spirit the Author of the Bible translations, or only the original Biblical 66 Book's Autographs which we no longer have? Old curious Jack

    Justification the same as Sanctification?

    Thank you for caring again, and not really wanting the last word, ie, only a head's up. Justification (at one's instant of faith') is distinct from, and is also prior to one's sanctification which occurs at one's water baptism. Old Jack

    Did You Know?

    Thank you for your response and feedback! I personally apologize to you regarding "foolish comments." However I would encourage you to relook at ICor.1:27, "God chose the foolish things...." + I'm a retired lowly teacher that has used positive appropriate humor as one of my better teaching...

    So When We Pass On, Do We Immediately Awake, or Sleep?

    Thank you for your response again! We're going to take on the antichrist's top dog, ie, the antichristian's seduction - Get ready, Satan is not longer going to be a happy camper. Our end game is for us to instantly awake in the place our Lord has prepared for us - shoot for a higher glory as...

    IITim.2:15, "Cutting the Word of Truth Straight"

    What exactly is the inspired "Word" in the context of IITim.2:15. Jn.1:1, "Word was God" for example? Scriptures = inspired Word, another example as in IITim.3:16? Translations = inspired Word, another? One's K.J.V. = inspired Word? Or ? = inspired Word? One's one valid interpretation =...

    Can You Be a Democrat and Be A Christian In Todays World?

    Thank you for caring for sure! I have the highest respect for both of you folks, and only wanted to say that after reading over RANDOR's post, he brought out some good points just like you do - maybe there's something I'm missing, however don't know what it is? Don't see where either of you...

    Are We Judged Today Via The Word Or?

    Thank you for your response again! You're too sharp, and can easily grasp exactly where I'm coming from regarding Rev.20:2 definitely not that it's valid, "and bound him" Simply the personal binding of Satan only means that he shall not prevent this heralding of the gospel to all the nations...
