    Spiritual Goals

    Another female good at Scrabble - go figure! ;) That's an excellent acronym on many levels. I know I struggle mightily with them in various ways, but my biggest are 4) and 5). I am in agreement about the last one though, I think sometimes we overlook that God gives us tools to be good at...

    Thanks again, please everyone continue to report anything you come across. The previous posts are all you have to do - I just need to know about it in order to fix it. In my case, my browser (Firefox) doesn't render red x's, the image just doesn't load and so it's very easy to miss. That's where...

    Freewill and Choice have NOTHING to dowith Salvation

    I'm a very firm believer that our Father always works with archetypes and examples for us to work from. So that I can understand where you are coming from here, how do you interpret Romans 6:6? Now I know that being spiritually dead is one thing, but I'll put that on the shelf because we need...

    Thanks Christina and Nomad, this should now be fixed.

    Seeking Man's Favor: The Root of Religious Unbelief

    Ah but Christina, it's the love of money. Money is simply a means to an end, that's not the focus of the verse. Because of our nature, even if we bartered or whatever other system we'd come up with, we would (as humanity) manage to corrupt it in only a matter of time. This doesn't so much apply...

    Thanks Christina. :) Okay so I managed to bungle things up for a bit today; I'm sure a few of ya'll saw the shoutbox error for ~20 mins about 2 hours ago. Unfortunately we're still without a shoutbox for the near term. I'm still working on that chat solution. The one downside in this conversion...

    Seeking Man's Favor: The Root of Religious Unbelief

    I see a post here I fundamentally agree with. There is an often quoted verse that would cement this in my mind. Unfortunately the true meaning of the verse is often quickly (and perhaps conveniently) overlooked. Note that the root of all evil is specifically the love of money. You want to put...

    Freewill and Choice have NOTHING to dowith Salvation

    As Romans 6:6 tells us, we are (spiritually) crucified with Christ, where we become dead in sin (Romans 6:11). A few verses later we're told that death is the wages of sin. Like Christ, this is a type for every Christian; we are spiritually raised from the dead (the eternal death sentence) into...

    Pray for my bosses son

    The family is in my prayers, that's very tragic to hear! May God work through it all, as hard as it must be.

    New King James Version ALERT!

    Okay so did the KJV use the Leningrad Manuscript B19a? Simple question.

    New King James Version ALERT!

    Then you don't quite know as much about manuscripts as you claim to know. I'm pretty sure the translators who wrote the preface that says this and then translated the work would know better than you, Al Gore. ;)

    God's message on flying away to save our soul

    Well, for those of us who believe in the post-trib, it comes down to Satan showing up as the false Messiah, the antiChrist (Gr. instead of). If you believe in a post-trib rapture and the pre-trib happens, so what? If you believe in the pre-trib rapture and the post-trib happens, what happens for...

    New King James Version ALERT!

    Actually it is dude, it uses the Leningrad Manuscript B19a. Look it up, don't take my word for it. :)

    New King James Version ALERT!

    I wouldn't go so far as saying it's not the KJV at all - as Nomad said it's mostly an updated KJV - but it does use some different manuscripts from the KJV. The NKJV OT actually is based on the Stuttgart '67/'77. (All of which can verified by reading the Preface.) So it does differ and that's a...

    The KJV and the modern bible versions

    1. In your own conflated opinion, perhaps. 2. Why do you always take what I say and make up something I did not say? Never said that, so seriously quit making up lies. 3. It's from the same "scholarly" community which still believes in the myth of Q, so yes, it has everything to do with it...

    The KJV and the modern bible versions

    Exclusively would mean to the exclusion of all the others. I simply trust the Textus Receptus over the others because the others are an assimilation of documents that disagree, contradict, etc. So called scholars like to play with numbers and select a portion of them that agree with what they...
