You don't corrupt it, you just don't understand it. The King James Version is adequate to identify the deity of Jesus Christ.

Yup, of course they are dear.

The KJV is the first Bible that I read, back while enrolled in "catechism " and I had a pocket version that I used at work on those nights waiting for traffic to die down so we could repair cameras in the tunnels below the Hudson, but it's certainly not the most accurate or the easiest read...

When discussing things which haven't happened yet, the best we can do is propose informed speculation unless the Holy Spirit is trying to teach us something relevant.

Simply because people are always writing translations that conform to their own belief. That's why the New World Translation and the JPS Tanach both have novel translations of verses that point to the deity of Christ (and to Jesus as the messiah in the case of the Tanach.) Even Zondervan came...

I didn't see any question other than something like "then we're all God?" Which I believe I answered, though perhaps you don't understand the concept of monotheism. As far as versions of the Bible you use? It doesn't seem like you use any, but want to write your own.

Hi Ferris. Have you ever read the Westminster confession of faith? It's a relatively short document and expresses a lot of "reformed" theology. The Pastor at the Baptist church where I was baptized handed me a copy and said, "this is what we believe in, except the stuff about the Pope." Of...

Some would say that Babylon is the system of this world, and I would have to agree, but if that system could be represented in a single city, that leaves lots of options. If it represents a religious system of thought, I would say freemasonry is the most viable candidate at present, but the new...

I don't know about a spiritual mind, but you are incredibly funny.

Who said that? I'm a monotheist. Maybe you should enroll in a course on logic and boolean algebra. It could help your carnal mind grow at least to the point where you can reason logically, and possibly accept scripture as true.

I'm sure that everyone born and raised in a religious context has a mind in agreement with parts of that context. What we learn from parents and other "authorities " as children plays a huge part in our "worldview. " If you're unfamiliar with the concept of worldview, it simply means the mental...

Yes, that which is equal is not greater. And Jesus isn't greater than the Father, but in the Father and the Father in Him. I'm sorry that you can't understand this basic spiritual concept, but that's not your fault. It's quite impossible for the carnal mind to receive the things of the spirit.

I'm not omniscient and scripture doesn't say, but we are exhorted not to go beyond what scripture actually says. Speculation is interesting but proof of nothing. It does however, reveal what's in our hearts and becomes a cause for judgment (not to condemnation, but to loss.)

No he didn't, scripture does, and no where in scripture does a servant of God other than Jesus accept worship. I can't do anything to provide proof to you if you don't believe the word of God, but that which can be proven is not of faith. But let's just tear down the notion that a man can...

Thanks for your opinion, but I believe scripture, the entire book, not just what appeals to my limited capacity for understanding. "And when the Lord smelled the pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man's heart is...

Possibly because what exists, exists, and what we imagine doesn't. But if we're talking Roman Catholic doctrine, their theology is not entirely biblical. It doesn't recognize the gospel as taught by the Apostle Paul, or there would be no structured priesthood (every born again believer has...

God could be a million persons, but what purpose would that serve? Each person of "the trinity" is functionally divided, yet of the same Spirit. My understanding of the trinity is informed by my belief in the theorem of special relativity, but the existence of time as a spatial dimension is...

You want a list? Off the top of my head, here's a very plain passage: 26 Eight days later His disciples were again inside, and Thomas was with them. Jesus *came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be to you.” 27 Then He *said to Thomas, “Place your finger here...

Yes. Do you really believe that God has limitations?

I was a Roman Catholic to the age of 13 and the catholic religion crucifies Christ again for every communion service. While I heard readings from the gospels and Epistles every Sunday, I never once heard the gospel as revealed in chapter 53 of Isaiah, not once.
