Whether or not you have a spiritual problem, or need a miracle to understand the Bible and God, is not evidenced by the information you supplied. The Christian way of life is a life-long pursuit of studying the scripture. For the first few years of your Christian life should be devoted to the...

I read your first sentence and decided not to continue this discuss. It is obvious to me that have no idea what i wrote, such as saying that the visions will appear in the Tribulation (equal to the last days). You have no understanding of Dispensationalism. You appear to not understand Heb 2:3,4...

I can assure you these "visions" are not of God. God no longer reveals his truth in visions and dreams during the Church dispensation. The OT passages that are quoted were given to the nation of Israel during the Tribulation (i.e., the remaining 7 years of the Jewish dispensation). Arguing your...

I would only offer this to allow people to sharpen their position on this topic. The first half of the tribulation (if you take scripture literally) is called: Tribulation in Matt 24.

Let me add an interesting twist (the second story). Tischendorf had a friend named Samuel Tragelles. Tragelles was also a scholar. Excited by von Tischendorg’s discovery, and in hopes of finding more biblical manuscripts himself, Tragelles asked the Pope if he could visit the Vatican library...

I would not use the 1611 KJV! There were so many errors in it. Over the next two hundred years, it went through many corrections. You will need to use a KJV in the 1900s. Here's a little I found while researching the KJV and other translations. He should have never put it in there! The...

Not if we use the word synoptic in its normal sense. Gospel of John deals with the deity if Christ, he describes the glory of Christ. Matthew shows Jesus as the partial fulfillment of the Messiah coming to rule (the Son of Man). Mark is usually said to be Jesus was the Servant of God. And Luke...

Can you name two scholars who identify the Gospel of John as part of the synoptic Gospels?

Your title for this study, Ongoing Bible study; the four synoptic gospels, ls not quite theologically correct. The Gospel of John is not one of the synoptic Gospels. The synoptic Gospels are Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

Sorry about misrepresenting your position. But I have to add, I am not sure what you are proposing in that paragraph.

Is this what you are looking for? Heb. 11 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. 4 By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain...

Go back over the whole chapter of Rom 1. See where Paul tells us that these unbelievers knew God, for God made it plain to them. Not at all understanding your priesthood of Israel. Just read the chapter again. You will see why Paul says they are without excuse. Many OT unbelievers came to...

Salvation has always been by faith in what God has revealed to us. According to Rom 1, all people are aware that God exists, that God's existence is certain. (In other words, there are no genuine atheists., just those who suppress the truth.) 19 what may be known about God is plain to them...

What we do have is the original wording of the NT manuscripts. No two manuscripts agree completely. In fact, we have more than 100% of the manuscripts. Dan Wallace told me that he sees it that we actually have 103% and what needs to be done is to remove the extra 3%. As far as altered texts...

This is part of the New Covenant, per Ezekiel... "And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful...

The preponderance of evidence is that Mark 16:9 to 20 was not found in the original manuscripts. Most translations put this text in small letters and brackets around the verses. Whatever you want to argue/discuss about signs/miracles/languages, you certainly do not want to base any argument...

I am sorry but I am drawing a blank, where is the reference to this?

Deborah_: Can you point me in the direction of a book that argues polygamy was common in Crete?
