I strongly disagree … I need all the help I can get! ;) As a “little Christ” (the literal meaning of Christian), I am a “hot mess”.

Why did Jesus speak the exact same words to everyone in a crowd, yet only some responded? EARS TO HEAR. [Matthew 16:17 NASB20] And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal [this] to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

Does this? [Romans 8:28-30 NASB20] And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to [His] purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined [to become] conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the...

Purely an accident. I care no more for what John said than what the Early Church Father’s said. If I want advice, I prefer “Apostles” and “Prophets” already vetted and bound into 66 books that have stood the test of 2000 years (Well, sort of … there was that whole ‘apocrypha’ incident … but we...

While symbolic, it came closer to literal than most people reading it BC would have ever guessed. A virgin birth and being nailed through the foot to a tree to destroy the power of evil was probably not most Rabbi’s first guess. :)

I agree. I was merely addressing a small point of English grammar that UNTIL did not REQUIRE that the event end. The English rendering allows for the possibility (however improbable or unnatural) that Mary and Joseph NEVER had sex. I agree that Jesus had half-brothers and Mary had other...

I might not be able to avoid sounding like a Calvinist … I am a Particular Baptist (a Baptist that believes that Jesus’ Atonement was for ‘particular’ - aka. Specific - people rather that for all people in ‘general’ - aka. General Baptist). John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father...

My post was not directed to or at you. I know it can appear that way simply because it followed your post (just the luck of the timing of when the post dropped). There was a "theme" that resurfaced periodically across the last few pages that seemed to imply that faith cannot save until...

Luke 18:9-14 [ESV] He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: "Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: 'God, I thank you...

John 3:16 [with context] [John 3:14-21 ESV] "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but...

I hate getting answers like that! "WHAT???? There are 25 Chapters in Matthew! I always stopped at Matthew 24 all these years! What a fool that I have been." :rolleyes: I bet they have read Matthew 25 and Revelation. :cool:

this (pronoun): the person, thing, or idea that is present or near in place, time, or thought or that has just been mentioned what is stated in the following phrase, clause, or discourse this time or place the one nearer or more immediately under observation or discussion the one more recently...

Being a jerk isn't a crime and if we jailed everyone that said stupid things, there would be no Television. ;)

Yes. I never murdered anyone ... so that was one "commandment of God" that I kept. However, I was an atheist, so "obeying god (the invisible unicorn)" never entered my mind as a motivation. In addition, I hated a great many people, so as Jesus later explained, I am still "guilty of murder in...

People that say crazy things like this would probably be shocked at how little the two manuscripts differ from one another. (FYI: Absolutely NO biblical doctrines are impacted.) So list 3 verses impacted by the TR vs MGNT manuscript traditions and we will examine them in detail. Here is a...

Objection ... asked and answered:

The KJV. :Laughingoutloud:;)

You win. My facts are powerless before your determined ignorance. You are able to spout nonsense faster than I can correct you with the truth.

Since we are asking MY OPINION, I favor OLDER Copies above NEWER copies rather than "majority" (greatest number) of copies. Here is my logic. Suppose I wanted to recreate the original first printing of "Hop On Pop" by Dr Seuss by going to every public library in my state and checking out every...

Here is what I said about the Autographs ... ... and I stand by that statement.
