    1611 version?

    The KJV is simply the best Bible. It does the best job in translating from the Hebrew and Greek while trying to keep the original meaning intact. It also does the best job, of any translation, in capturing the beauty and depth of what has been said.

    The Lamb That Spake As A Dragon

    Revelation 13:11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. I would place this as among the most important verses found in the Bible. Take a moment and read Revelation 13 and get the context if you cannot recall the chapter...

    Rapture, Will There Be One?

    I hope and pray that way B'Midbar. CB has heartened me greatly in that respect because I have had a glance at those who do not buy into this great deception. I also share in the belief that some who truly know the Scripture will be awakened when the fake shows up, so if I can just get a rapture...

    Rapture, Will There Be One?

    The church is not mentioned after the conclusion of Revelation 3, that is correct. However, we should not ignore the context in which they are mentioned. The church is never referred to as one big colossal entity. The word is only used to refer to the seven churches of which only two are found...

    Rapture, Will There Be One?

    II Timothy 2:19Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Even following the logic that you bring to the table, there is already a huge hole in what you're...

    Rapture, Will There Be One?

    Agreed. Note that the oppositive sets off the context. It's the rest of the men who did not accept God. For example, the 5th seal in the same chapter: Revelation 9:4And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only...

    Hello Everyone!

    Hello jesse! I apologize for the little error you probably came across on our site, but we had to reboot the server to keep things running.We've recently had some troublemakers but there are still a lot of good people here. SC is a wonderful way to study, I always recommend them!

    The disputed Pastoral Letters?

    I'm definitely in agreement with what B'Midbar. I think you'll discover that with Paul, his unshakeable faith always seems to come out in what he writes. Some people call it arrogance, but I have to argue Paul was simply confident because of what he had been through. God was always there for...

    James 2:14-26

    Excellent observation Madeline. The Greek is echos which literally means to have possession of or hold, so the English captures it quite well. It means someone does not do works does not have faith. Works are merely a physical manifestation of our faith, but something we do have by extension...

    The mess OSAS theology has made

    It's a mess, but I have faith in people to know the truth and to know what's going on. I'm going to close this now because all of this is water under the bridge and it's time we get back to normal where we all have the ability to say what we want.

    Video (5 min)

    Very good video that really shows what we're in. It's an exciting time, but it is also a time of sadness before Christ returns at the second advent because of what the world has become and what it neglects.

    Osas

    I'm pretty much satiated in your viewpoint. Both sides have been given, I leave it up to the Word to speak.

    Osas

    Writer, my point is merely that if you feel you've made the argument say it and you're done. However, what you have been saying is simply, in effect, that our replies as a collective group don't count by your judgment of the criteria. That's not the way to carry out a discussion. I'm willing to...

    Osas

    Writer, I'm very quickly growing tired of this. Every discussion has to be defined by your rules. I've seen a lot of stubborn people in my life, but I have never seen someone so manipulative of a discussion to the point that it borders on obssession. No one can seem to address your points no...

    II John 1:9-11Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For...

    Why does Jesus...

    I Corinthians 11:19For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. Paul is writing to weed out those heresies. We all sin, no one denies that. The funny thing is, this doesn't answer my question in the least. This argument never has been...

    Why does Jesus...

    You're going to have to explain your logic here because I'm simply not following.
