When it comes to matters of ordinances there can be a huge amount of grace extended. IE whether or not holding out your pinky finger when drinking from a cup with a handle.... However, The Jesus who died to give us license to sin or the Deity Jesus who died to extend grace to atone for our...

Critical analysis skills are an absolute must and sorely lacking. For example most people today can't identify the types of propaganda or its purposes and how that is distinctly different from true news and information. Many have issues with understanding what news actually means or the...

Titus 1:16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good. So we have a LOT of people who are the poster children of this verse.

The JW Bible is one of the worst translations to date. The Jehova Witnesses have always denied the diety of Jesus and many other essential Christian Doctrines. The Jehova Witnesses created their own translation called the New World translation so they could edit it to conform to their specific...

John 1:14 and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.

Ummmm.... Prima fascia.... Face value. It's not complicated or difficult or with some other meaning. I mean exactly what I said. God isn't on holiday....

So..... You are saying you don't see?

I'm not exactly sure what there is to argue about. Blessed are the holy of heart for they shall see God. So if you see God then you see God working. So then you conform yourself to HIS plan. Bingo bango bongo....you get used.

1) God's gift and Word for us. 2)none, people always find a way to license evil 3) 10 4) Too many to write here....Chicago Statement on Inerrancy is a good starter. 2Tim3:16 for inspiration. English is the WORST Receptor language for most donor languages. Hebrew is the worst Donor language...

Atonement Day required a fast by all.

God does not fit inside of any box you create. This includes one that requires the box of time. God is both in time, outside of time and the barrier between the two realities.

Just to clarify.... Exposition is explaining Exegetical is more "what it means today for you" Expositional will discuss grammar, language, history and/or anthropology that is critical to understanding the section it refers to. It also will mention other scriptures that the writer is...

I wasn't suggesting that you personally are denigrating Catholics....it comes up often enough that it needed to be said. And the Catholics I've met in Europe can vary widely from region to region....all depending upon their leadership. Those in Eastern Europe vx those in Western Europe are...

It doesn't require a scholar.... Look at this whole concept of what you just learned about Jesus's statement "I am the Light of the world" not very scholarly...simple and easy to grasp. BUT what it does require is someone to be more interested in expositional teaching instead of exegetical...

This may be true of the diocese in your area....but it's not universally true. Even those churches which focus on Catechisms, patriarchs, Prayers, and Psalms will still have a few verses of scriptures read and explained.

CE is short for "Catholic Edition". If I wrote it funny....I meant that Catholics DO USE and their Bibles contain the apocryphal sections....it's where the whole concept of Purgatory originated from...which is strictly a Catholic doctrine. To me, The apocryphal sections are not scriptures...

The Current Bibles being published use a conglomeration of manuscripts that edit out obvious additions, deletions, summaries, or copyist mistakes. Alexandrian, Syriac, and Masoretic texts. For the Old Testament it's Biblica Hebraica Stuttengartensia (BHS for short) And United Bible Society...

Yes! The "Originalist" viewpoint. Meaning that the original author had a current audience in mind when he wrote his gospel or letter and we need to understand it from their point of view.

Calvinism is debunked by the story in John about the man born blind. It's a huge part of the Gospel because with this story it tells us why some believe and others do not. The blindness is a metaphor for the reality of salvation. I believe in the authority of scriptures, not a system, not...

Actually the first Old Testament was in Aramaic and had targums (commentaries) to go with it. Which is what was spoken by Jesus often. Sure the linguistics of Hebrew had been mostly restored by the time of Jesus's ministry tour but most people used the Aramaic translation of scriptures...
