    THE FAKE KJV ONLY ARGUMENT

    As far as the KJV... Yes... It is my preferred version... But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. - 1 Corinthians 11:16 If those who read it are contentious and wanting to squabble all day about doctrine, then I would know why people have a...

    THE FAKE KJV ONLY ARGUMENT

    Pejorative - a word expressing contempt or disapproval. There are three spiritual values young people are born with 1. Acceptance 2. Approval 3. Appreciation To become unique is to shun the acceptance, approval, and appreciation of others. So to be held in contempt over some belief ought not...

    THE FAKE KJV ONLY ARGUMENT

    If I were to meet a KJVO believer as fanatical as I chances are we would not be in agreement over some point of doctrine.

    THE FAKE KJV ONLY ARGUMENT

    I will go to church and the message outline will be presented on a screen. I don’t know what version the text is based on but know it reads differently from mine. I would think it rude to ask the speaker what version he is reading out of so I don't ask. I still have the KJV Open Bible given to...

    THE FAKE KJV ONLY ARGUMENT

    Any threat of KJVO is pure paranoia schizophrenia as who is like that these days? As far as interpretation a speaker will read from scripture and the listeners will see what they can gather from his interpretation. Even if all read from the KJV they would bring out different messages out of...

    When will Christ return?

    I see the, "I don't know" as leading the poll. In which is probably the wisest pick.

    When will Christ return?

    I would have to go along with Isaac Newton as being the closest. So my pick would be between 15 and 40... And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it...

    Bible Sales and the Unique View

    Article begins.... Many Americans may have lost faith in organized religion, but according to recent data, they still love the Good Book... I would look for many unique viewpoints to arise outside of the structured doctrinal walls...

    Do you admit that the gospel cannot change the world?

    But... This is a true statement! 6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 8 But...

    THE FAKE KJV ONLY ARGUMENT

    I am KJVO... 1. King James Version 2. Strong's Exhaustive Concordance But... What kind of company am I in these days?

    Do you admit that the gospel cannot change the world?

    The Book of Enoch prophesies a major divine judgment, where the "Elect One" (Son of Man) returns with thousands of holy ones to destroy the ungodly, punish fallen angels, and reward the righteous with eternal peace. It predicts a time of intense global wickedness, chaos, and cosmic upheaval...

    Do you admit that the gospel cannot change the world?

    The two witnesses... 1. Enoch 2. Elijah These were the two that never saw death... And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. - Genesis 5:24 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and...

    Do you admit that the gospel cannot change the world?

    Isaac Newton would have repeated the same line here 300 years later... And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an...

    The Church as Noah's Ark

    My dad was brought up Catholic, I was saved in the Baptist Church and became Pentecostal Holiness in my late teens. It seemed like to me I have seen the change from pure community to something like Noah's Ark, taking in all the clean and unclean, good and the evil. There are evils and unclean...

    The Church as Noah's Ark

    Pope Callistus and Saint Hippolytus were two important figures in the early church with two different theologies.... Hippolytus- the ideal of the church as a pure community and not tolerating sins, a church of the pure. Callistus - the ideal of the church as a saving community representing the...

    THE FAKE KJV ONLY ARGUMENT

    In sharing Bible scripture and memories I was also reminded of the less than ideal people who can come across our way. All within the same mental state of mind! I hate that can be a case! When shaking a family tree one has to be careful not to shake too hard! There can be some bad apples as well...

    THE FAKE KJV ONLY ARGUMENT

    Lao-Tzu said... "Sages have no strange clothes or weird behavioral patterns." In Christianity I have run into, "weird behavioral patterns" my share of times. It does not seem to come from doctrine, bible versions, or teaching. It seems like people were just born that way, or brought up under a...

    Mary Seemed Without Family

    Wondering, though, if Mary remained an actual virgin.

    THE FAKE KJV ONLY ARGUMENT

    All I have read is the KJV. No regrets! I must admit, though, that the Strongs Hebrew and Greek are handy additions.

    Who were the “brothers” of Jesus?

    Mary - Why did not the Lord's brother's take her? She seemed without family... I would imagine Joseph long ago passed away and the Lord's half brothers may not have been blood kin at all. 25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas...
