    My statement was not to anyone in particular...just a general statement concerning the real reason why people reject the kjv for other translations.

    That is why we desperately need revival! Which only proves my point. . . . Except that the scripture tells us it is possible to never fall...Hebrews 10:14, 2 Peter 1:10, Jude 1:24, 1 John 2:10, 1 John 2:17. I went to the Nazarene Church for quite a few years; and yes, they do teach the...

    The doctrine of entire sanctification is obviously the contention over which newer Bible translations were created (in an attempt to ultimately defeat that doctrine in the church as being generally and publicly accepted). I believe that the devil hates this doctrine so much that he did what he...

    Okay...when you have the time. Just know that if you are going to tell someone that they are off-base concerning a doctrine, you need to be prepared to give them the real scoop from the word of the Lord as to what that doctrine is really all about.

    It was the general practice in those days for the pastors to read long passages of the holy scriptures to the congregants every time the church doors were opened, in obedience to 1 Timothy 4:13.

    If you are truly hungry and thirsty for righteousness, you will switch to the kjv as soon as you realize that there are things missing in other translations and that this means you will be spiritually malnourished in the reading of them.

    I have said that I do have indwelling sin by my doctrine; but that I don't have to live by it. I believe that we can come to a place where we do not sin and cannot sin. When I say this, you understand what I am saying. But when the apostle John says it, surely there must be some esoteric...

    How so?

    I do not claim to be without sin...but I know that my walk of righteousness has been increasing since I got born again according to Proverbs 4:18. Your point? I think that verse 9 also substantiates my point quite nicely; for it teaches us that He can cleanse us from all unrighteousness...

    I don't see how this means that us walking in freedom from sin diminishes what He did for us on the Cross. I think that saying that we cannot walk in freedom diminishes what He did for us on the Cross. He died to set us free (see John 8:31-36).

    Actually, the Bible teaches us that Jesus became sin for us in order that we might become the righteousness of the Lord in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21). He was sinless from birth; but He did not escape its bounds, sin-free. He took our sins upon Himself along with their penalty. He also cried...

    Whatever happened to the command to repent? It seems that most heretical teachers today preach that real repentance cannot be a reality for that we are all bound to sin at some point in the future. This doctrine of the inevitability of sin is a heresy that has run rampant in the church today...

    I believe that Luke 16:10 would teach us that we ought to seek after accuracy and unity even in the non-essentials. Notice that the Father drawing a man to Christ is not the same thing as Him regenerating the man. Calvinists contend that a man cannot come to faith in Jesus unless God first...

    [1Th 5:23-24 KJV] 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful [is] he that calleth you, who also will do [it]. [Heb 10:14 KJV] 14 For by one offering he hath...

    Please explain this.

    If that is the case, then Calvinists are not true Christians. For I have often found them contending that we are given a new heart and made into a new creature before we are saved by grace through faith; even before we repent and give our hearts to Christ. And the problem I find with this is...

    Please explain this.

    When we confess our sins to God and He forgives, we will begin to love Him much (Luke 7:36-50). Because of this, I believe that we will have the desire not to sin...i.e. we will not want to sin. The fact that we, as sanctified believers do not want to sin and do not have to sin...seems to me...

    Please explain this.

    I think also that Philippians 2:13 also means that as sanctified believers we don't want to sin... So if we don't want to sin, and also don't have to sin, why then would any of us sin? Because we don't have to sin regardless of the influence of the enemy in our lives. Of course it is...

    God only knows if that sin has been committed by anyone here.

    Please explain this.

    Indeed, we do have the element of sin dwelling within us; and sometimes it is a battle to not walk according to it. But I am saying that we can win that battle, every time that we are tempted (because the element of sin can be rendered dead, even powerless, in our lives). If we fail, the...

    It pointed forward as a type of what was to come. I mean the 1st when I mention the 2nd. I would only point out that the holy scripture teaches that we can walk in freedom from sin...that we do not have to continue in slavery to our old way of life. Even taking John 8:34 into account. Now...
