    Interesting that the Bible is "the Word of God", unless someone quotes a translation you disagree with.

    Translations are just that.... Translations! I will pick one verse and show the different translations in my E-Sword bible.... Now... do make note of the 1st translation (Happens to start with"alt") Eph 1:11 (ALT) in Him in whom also we were appointed by lot [or, obtained an inheritance]...

    Part 2 f Plato Had Not Supplied the Framework If Scripture resists the Platonic framework at these points, it becomes possible to imagine how Christianity might have developed without it. This is not a rejection of philosophy, but a thought experiment: what happens if specifically Platonic...

    The God Jesus Worships and Prays To

    Is God the only Savior? I imagine by now you may be arguing with me and saying something like this: Well, if Jesus is not God in human flesh what you say to the Scriptures that say only God can save? After all, God says, "I, even I, am the LORD; and there is no Savior besides me" (Isaiah 40...
