Which is not to say that they will necessarily be cursed for ever (because the Lord may even bring them back from the brink of disaster); but it is to say that we ought not to engage with them in order to try and convert them (in order that they might be saved). It is better to leave them alone...

I don't think so. If that were the case, one would have to convert to Judaism before they can be born again.

When the Lord deals with your sin nature and replaces it with His Spirit, the love of the Lord is shed abroad in your heart (Romans 5:5). Then, the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in you because of the following (in the nlt): Col 2:11, When you came to Christ, you were “circumcised,” but...

Nope...the one who is born of God "doth not" and "cannot" commit sin (1 John 3:9). And the one who abideth in Christ "sinneth not" (1 John 3:6) for ever (1 John 2:17).

I recently ran across the following in my nlt... Gal 2:19, For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law—I stopped trying to meet all its requirements—so that I might live for God. and, Rom 8:7, For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s...

See John 8:31-36... There Jesus tells us that the one who commits sin is the servant of sin and that if the Son will set you free (from sin) you will be free indeed.

@Behold denies indwelling sin as a reality and is therefore gnostic in his teaching...so newbies would not be wise to listen to him. For he deceives himself and the truth is not in him (1 John 1:8). How much more will he deceive the newbie if they give him an ear? As for "Lucky Repentance"...

Here is only one example of discrepancies between versions: Phl 1:9 (kjv), And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; Phl 1:9, (nlt), I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and...

However, if you have a different Jesus than the Jesus of the Bible, or a different spirit, or a different gospel, beware lest you have been deceived by the serpent's subtilty (2 Corinthians 11:3-4).

True Trinity. (especially posts #1-#6).

Jhn 8:24, I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. Jhn 8:25, Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. Jhn 8:26, I have many things to...

Personally, I believe that the kjv is inerrant and inspired... That God, in His sovereignty, Omnipotence, and love, preserved His unadulterated message in this translation. I may not understand why He allowed the devil to have his own translations; but I am content to understand that the fact...

It is still a valid word and if anyone doesn't understand what it means they can look it up in an English dictionary or find the definition of the word in Greek, in a Strong's Concordance.

[~QUOTE="Christophany, post: 877251, member: 9047"]Do you think the average joe can translate Hebrew and Greek into English ? Can you ? How do you know what is or is not a good translation ? How would you decide on a given verse if the KJV, NASB, ESV or NIV is more accurate ...

[~QUOTE="justbyfaith, post: 877248, member: 7886"]Do you believe that the educated Greek and Hebrew scholar has an edge over the common believer in being able to get the unadulterated message of the word of God? The common people heard Jesus gladly; but the educated scribes and Pharisees...

I tend to believe that the kjv is ultimately superior to other translations. However, when in doubt, the Holy Spirit would be the deciding factor (see 1 John 2:20). For example, I believe that the NIV's translation in Jude 1:3-4 of grace as "a license for immorality" is useful and according to...

I simply believe that we can decide on this very easily because we are not unaware of the devil's schemes. If I were the devil, I would change or take away from scripture (in my translations) the things that damage me the most. I find that the kjv is the standard that keeps in the things that...

Already did but you didn't see the edit...I'll repeat it here. In your translation it says that those who believe shall not come into judgment. This is obviously false if you take Romans 14:10-12 and 2 Corinthians 5:10 into account. For these verses teach that even believers will be judged...

Do you believe that the educated Greek and Hebrew scholar has an edge over the common believer in being able to get the unadulterated message of the word of God? The common people heard Jesus gladly; but the educated scribes and Pharisees rejected Him. Therefore it would be a mistake to rely...

How do you explain the contradiction between what your translation says in John 5:24 and what the Bible says in Romans 14:10-12 and 2 Corinthians 5:10? Are you contending that there are valid contradictions in the Bible?
