It's perhaps one of the deepest statements of the Bible in my very humble opinion."Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"(English translation of the Greek.)It brings me a very emotional feeling each time I hear it or say it. Folks, if there was ever a moment to say "this was it" then this was it! Their...

True enough, Bernie. This is another one of those news stories that shouldn't be. Every country has an invasion plan for other countries and there should really be no suprise in that at all. In fact, I'm sure the US has a plan to attack Canada and vice versa but that certainly doesn't ever mean...

Well my first response is that this is one less bomb that can be exploded on people anywhere. I think it's just NK doing the usual starving for attention hoping that we'll try and placate them with some more money and aid. I think they know that they'll be wiped off the face of the earth if they...

Abel's bloodline is no more important than that of Jesus, or that of any saint; the name 'Abel' means 'breath', or 'vapour', something transitory. We are all capable of being like Abel, too, and indeed we must be, if we are to be like Jesus, suffering for righteousness' sake. Indeed. Name's are...

My personal opinion is that this is one of those things that dives right into the purpose and plan of God. To be honest, I cannot give you a clear-cut definition as to why Cain was given mercy in the way that he was...as you pointed out there was no law of Moses; however, God's word had been...

So my question is what part of German law gives these people the right to compensation?

Stay on topic guys and gals. It's funny how a thread about Mark Foley ends up over in the Middle East. Perhaps that says a thing or two about politics here in America. Maybe all politics are not really local as the quote says.Getting back to the topic, I think Foley is a disgrace. I think, as a...

Just an idea as to why I don't like the newer translations - the following is the same verse in the various translations:KJV: The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.ESV: The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven.NIV: The...

There is a great difference between paraphrase, which involves exact re-presentation of content, and summary, which implies abridgement and loss of content. Not when it involves something like prophecy where the smallest glitch in an interpretation makes a substantial difference.I have enough of...

Matthew 24:6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.Mark 13:7And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.Luke...

The simple answer to this question, IMHO, is that there is a hell. If God's truly amazing Grace were the ticket to heaven then we would not need a hell and there would be no devil. However, our task is really quite simple in order to reach heaven. Simply acknowledge and accept God for what he...

Going back to the Greek, I'd have to say the number is 666 and not 616 as it is often thought.However, you are right in that Jesus talk us that the Kingdom of God is indeed near. Remember to know the signs and know that it will come like a thief in the night meaning suddenly. Know the signs...

ROS has it right.There are some parts, obviously, that should be interpreted literally such as "Thou shalt not..." or "... is an abomination." However, many times obviously and sometimes not, there are parts that should be taken figuratively such as a talking "snake" or the beasts of Revelation...

There is nothing whatever abridged about the majority of modern Bibles. The 'dynamic equivalence' method may produce more words for a given verse than the 'literal' method, in fact. It is a method perfectly legitimate technically, is very widely used in secular translation generally, and is...

The last time I checked (about five years ago) the KJV was under strict Crown copyright in Great Britain, and unpermitted quoting is liable to prosecution there. That's a subject of debate, but as for those outside of GB, there's nothing to worry about and I've seen many an educated opinion on...
