I use the NET Bible sometimes in my research. This is the Bible put out by professors of Dallas Theological Seminary.

St. SteVen wrote: "Beyond that, what would the effect have been if Jesus had yielded to temptation? Would humankind still have been redeemable?" That's exactly what I address in my initial post of this subject. I contend that Jesus could not have sinned because there would be no possible...

SteVen, I didn't work with Translation, only Greek Manuscripts. Textual Critics don't work with Translations.

Pearl, I use to work as a textual critic. I would track variants within manuscripts. You need a base text and then you compare a manuscript to the base text and record all variants, that is, any place where the manuscripts differ. Doing this is basically how we know there are over 400,000...

I have never "listed" myself as a Christian, but I am. However, your question tells me you either didn't read my post or understand it.

You said: "There are so many errors in KUWN's paper that it's not possible to address most of them in a single post. But if anyone's game, we can pull them out, one at a time, and take a closer look." I am game. Show me these errors.

WIndmill asked: "More than one commentator has suggested that we have so many n t quotes in the church fathers letters that we could almost reconstruction the n t from them. How true that is ?" Very true. The NT has been reconstructed using only church fathers quotes, and they were able to...

GJohn 10.37

Jesus actually did supernatural miracles to the satisfaction of his audience. For example, when asked by the disciples of John the Baptist whether or not he, Jesus, was the long-awaited Messiah, Jesus told John’s disciples to return to John with the following message: The lame walk; the dead are...

Here’s a real shocker, not that anyone should care, but after all these years, I have abandoned my faith in Christ. True, life has been unbearable for me over the last 13 or so years. You might even say unfair. There has not been one day over this time that I haven’t prayed that God would allow...

This provides an excellent illustration for those interested: Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt ... ...snip... ... and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey...

Nope. You are not well read of your opponents. This is a childish, non-researched reply. I have lost respect for you and will not interact with you on future posts. That will hopefully make you happy.

I knew it. You are exactly wrong. The vast majority of Pre Trib scholars disagree with Ice. I am just mystified that this is your answer.

But Blandina was hung on a post and exposed as food for the wild beasts let loose in the arena. She looked as if she was hanging in the form of a cross, and through her ardent prayers she stimulated great enthusiasm in those undergoing their ordeal, who in their agony saw with their outward eyes...

Sanctus was another who with magnificent, superhuman courage nobly withstood the entire range of human cruelty. Wicked people hoped that the persistence and severity of his tortures would force hum to utter something improper, but with such determination did he stand up to their onslaughts that...

Some time ago, quite a while ago if I recall, I sent out an article on Polycarp, a famous martyr of the Christian faith. Unfortunately, he is far from the only martyr in history. The dark, evil pages of Church history are actually filled with flickering lights, those who have endured the...

Below is a bit of history that Eusebius has reproduced for the benefit of other Christians. For those unfamiliar with Eusebius, he was a church historian who recorded the following words in 340 AD. (Eusebius had hoped that his labors would be of benefit to us.... I think we can safely conclude...

This verse deserves about a week or two of comments but we don’t have that long. Let me give you the skinny of it: (Please pardon my language, my analogies if you will.) The three members of the Godhead (the Trinity), having decided to create angels and mankind, needed to assume different ROLES...

This is a bit long, most will not read this, but it posted it for the few who will. I offered the following paraphrase for GJohn 1:1 in my previous post: “In the beginning, a beginning that precedes the creation of all things, the Word was already in existence, and hence, by virtue of existing...
