If we put other related verses together with this one, we see that Christ is assuring the believers that their prayers will be answered just as His were. If we pray as Christ did, our prayers will be answered. But there is the rub. Our prayers have to be patterned after Christ’s. The things...

I have a few comments on this often-referenced verse. John 14 “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.” Many have laid claim to this passage as a promise from Christ that He will answer...

Anyone who claims to hear Jesus talk to them during this Church Age (post Apostolic Age) needs psychiatric help. Even the Pope who claims to speak ex cathedra is out of line. Hebrews says that: God SPOKE (past tense) to us in a Son (Heb 1). He no longer speaks to us until we are with Him (in...

No, I wrote the article. FYI the most influential bible was the Latin Vulgate, it was translated in the 4th century.

I mentioned earlier that since the first publication of the KJV of 1611, of which there have literally been thousands of corrections to it, many Greek Manuscripts have been discovered. How one or two of those manuscripts were discovered are interesting stories. More than 200 years after the...

He should have never put it in there! The King James Version (KJV) was originally published, in 1611, by the royal printer, Robert Barker. In the margins of that very first edition, there were some 8,422 notes. Several of these notes indicate that a particular verse itself may not be...

One of the most famous events in ancient history was the assassination of Gaius Julius Caesar on the Ides of March in 44 BC. Some 200 years later, a Roman historian named Dion Cassius, described the funeral that followed. Of particular interest was this sentence he penned: “You loved him as...

No believers will be at the GWT

Can someone define predestination? And then define free will. I don't see predestination related to obtaining eternal life!!

Didn't quite follow your concern here or your comment. A better translation for a man being justified before man could be translated "vindicated." Please note that this justification/vindication does not imply salvation. Justification before God is to salvation.

It is important to remember that there are two justifications in Scripture. Abe justified before man, does not mean that he was not justified before God also. Am I misunderstanding your questions?

I hope you don't mean "a LEAP" of faith. It would be that if there was no Holy Spirit to CONVINCE us the truth of the Gospel.

Do you know how many verses you are asking him to give you? That has always been my pet peeve out here, we should all be familiar with the Scriptures so that we don't have to give ALL THE PASSAGES. If you don't know where all (or even one) the passages are, simply use a concordance, or google it.

Your response is not that of a serious bible student.

The reason most people give for believers being able to lose their salvation is sin. Sins have all been paid for. Nobody's eternal destiny can be determined by sin. In fact, sins are not imputed to the person coming them, rather they were imputed to Christ on the Cross. (see 2 Cor 5). Also, Paul...

Those who love the Lord, do not want to sin. Did you know that the word sin never appears in any eternal judgment passage? I Cor 15 is a good example of that. But Paul says to turn that believer over to satan so that he will ultimately be saved/delivered.

Yes, God does not hand out possible salvation, but eternal salvation. Now the new Christian does not have to work for this salvation that God freely gives. Immediately he is confronted with the love of God. Remember a person is not saved by holding on for dear life. And eternal condemnation is...

Sorry, don't quite follow what you are saying? This is know: The Scriptures know nothing of a "converted believer." Could you clarify this statement?
