I think one should emphasize that we do have the originals WORDS of the autographs. In other words, we do not have the old pieces of paper, but we have recreated those manuscripts in the Critical Text. Dan says we actually have 103% of the words of scripture, what work needs to be done now is to...

When I was about 18, a friend of mine witnessed to me for about 3 nights in a row. The last night, I tried to go to bed, but I was under conviction. I felt scared. I looked out the bedroom door and "kind of saw" a dark shadow moving in my direction. I went back to bed and accepted Christ then...

I worked for the author of the source you mentioned. I took Textual Criticism by Dan during our travels to Europe. You said that none of the manuscripts are identical, but I think you misunderstood what Dan said. No two mss are identical from beginning to end. The thousands of manuscripts agree...

I wonder if Jesus looked the same to all 200. Just curious. I do believe that God uses supernatural ways on rare occasions to bring people to Christ, like Saul. We are told in Hebrews that some have entertained angels without knowing it. This is actually like the angelic evangelism that occurs...

That was my mistake. There are two different gifts, for lack of better categories, they are Spiritual Gifts, each believer has at least one gift. The Sign gifts are more miraculous. They point to something else. The sign gifts ceased in the first century, but some of them appear to happen...

This is a common misunderstanding. We do have the words of the original autographs. We do not have the pieces of paper that they were written on, but we definitely have the original words.

It should be remembered that the Bible is a reference to the various modern language translations. We ought to be talking about the Original NT manuscripts, the Autographa. For example, in GJohn 3:16 the KJV has "the only begotten son." This is found in the English translations but not in the...

Saul's personal experience was not at all typical. God appeared to Saul of Tarsus that took place during the Apostolic Age. Sign gifts will resume in the Tribulation, but not in the Church Age. And the cessation of sign gifts is given in many verses, but the most notable is Heb 2:3, 4. This...

An experience is not something that is either True or False. But you still have to give the argument that provides support for your secular conclusions (ie, Personal Experience). How long is that video?

You wrote, "I guess that my position is The Argument from Personal Experience." Your position for what? I owe you an apology for not listening to your video. I only listen to videos where I know how long the video will take and the bio of the author. I am not very techie

If your argument is based on religious activity, you will need to explain why your religious experience is more probably than a Muslim's religious experience. Religious experience is basically a dogmatic argument since it is not open to refutation nor can it be falsified. Also, we all have...

The point i made was there is no way to tell which, if any, the passages the holy Spirit references. Passages that are at the opposite end of the spectrum are equally just as possible as any other passage. No, we do not agree, the holy Spirit did not create or order the stars. The was the work...

Regarding your use of "statement of intent." Could you give me 3 Koine Greek examples in the New Testament? I haven't found an English translation using that translation. I am just making sure you are not inventing some grammatical construct that is not found anywhere else. The word 'bad' is...

Stop sinning?? What are you getting at? I don't see how that has anything to do with our discussion. I don't see a connection between your comments after "If your answer is no."

You said: Jesus did not remove all sin from the world, but His actions on the Cross will cover the repent humble sinner when they repent of their sins. I vehemently disagree with your comment. I thought something sounded strange when you suggested we believed the same thing. I have disagreed...

Jesus paid for all sins, even the unbeliever's. Sins are not imputed to the one committing them. see 2 Cor 5.17-19, and see 2 Pt 2.1 to see that all sins have been paid for. Christ's payment for sins is not something that is contingent. They were actually paid for. The only thing an unbeliever...

Absolutely not! Having one's sins paid for, has no bearing on salvation. we are not eternally condemned because of sins. The consequences of sin are always temporary. This teaching is Bible 101. You could have answered your own question had you read the verses I quoted in my last post. How could...

2 Cor 5.19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. All sins were imputed to Christ, who paid for the sins, all of them. All the sins of all time have been paid for, there is...

The unbelievers have been bought also. Does your theology allow for this?
