Have you noticed that the most important work of Christ—our eternal salvation—is one of the doctrines becoming increasingly misunderstood? Until this all-important issue is settled and established properly, there can be no real spiritual growth, for all growth truths are based and supported in...

Like what you are saying, and God bless!

Everybody who is supposed to be saved will be saved (Jhn 18:9); because their name is in the Book of Life. I think Calvin misses it when thinking that God only chooses certain people to salvation, unless his intention is that God only chooses people whom He knows will receive it; and I also...

Gill (1697-1771) was the first Baptist to produce a Bible commentary on the entire Bible. He was most noticed for his studies in Jewish writings, literature and customs. He is one of two commentators I've been using for 20 years now, and his comments are quite exhaustive and knowledgeable. The...

Hi, and thanks for your reply! When John wrote that we "cannot sin" it is in reference to desiring after sin, sinning "willfully" (Heb 10:26) or "presumptuously" (Num 15:28, 30). The sins of one reborn are never intentional. What believer would ever want to purposely offend God? The whole point...

Does God need to repeatedly forgive His children? What would such a need be, seeing He knows all we desire is to please Him; and this He assures (Phl 2:13). There is allowance for babes in Christ, who may yet have a habitual sin to give up, but He eventually brings all to the same knowledge...

True, spiritual growth can only come from studying God's Word and applying it by the Spirit! Only the NKJV and a few others like it contain the entire Word. No other modern translation can claim this because of the hundreds of omissions (Mat 4:4); what's just as bad is the changing...

There are primarily only two groups of manuscripts: the Majority Text, which contains the majority of all existing manuscripts; the Minority Text, which has only a few but older manuscripts; but they were partly produced by Gnostics, who do not believe Christ was deity. All translations derive...

“The doctrine of preservation does not guarantee the preservation of the autographs, for they perished within a few years after their writings. Neither does it guarantee the accuracy of the copies, because errant men copied them. It does guarantee that the complete contents of the infallible...

Hi Brother, and appreciate the input! God bless!!

It’s my understanding that the word “perfect” concerning a translation is mostly in reference to being complete, entire, and plenary. Thus, only translations derived from that majority of extant manuscripts contain all of Word of God (Mat 4:4)! Studying a translation which has much less...

It can be trustingly assumed that God's Word would be contained in the right translation, as He would not withhold any of His Words to us. It just has to be plenary first (Mat 4:4), even though the translation isn't perfect, the Word of God within the translation is; this is how God works--using...

The Lord Jesus Christ lived and spoke to His apostles while He was on earth, and in His natural state; and He chose Paul to reveal many things that nobody knew about. He appeared and spoke to Paul from the “glorified state” (about 8 years after His resurrection). Isn’t it like the Father to...

Omissions are only one of a few problems with the Critical Text (Alexandrian Text types), which conflicts with Christ's Words, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." (Mat 4:4). You would be surprised how many advocates of this text that do...

He knew most would reject Him; He also knew it would be worth the few who would receive Him!

The Lake of Fire, where Hell will be cast, is not intended as a ploy of fear, but of warning for the soul; and we know that most are choosing (ignorantly) to go that way (Mat 7:13, 14).

“As the Emperor Constantine embraced Christianity, it became necessary for him to choose which Bible he would sanction. He preferred the one edited by Eusebius and written by Origen, the outstanding intellectual figure that had combined Christianity with Gnosticism in his philosophy, even as...

All the "modern" versions, except the NKJV and Bibles that use the same manuscripts as the KJV. Thanks for asking!

Hi, and thanks for the reply! The verses which the false translations omit are in most of the manuscript copies (Majority Text). It's always best to trust what the majority of manuscripts say over the few manuscripts.

It's one of the few that is not changed. It used the most (99%) of existing manuscript copies. The others use the three old corrupt copies.
