    Why I read/study God's Word: The Authorized Version

    It was a response to 104 where he deliberately misread your post 92.

    Why I read/study God's Word: The Authorized Version

    Meh ... there are easier to understand versions (and more accurate versions), but the KJV is above average when it comes to being read out loud. That was an important goal of THOSE translators that many modern translators place less importance on (because Bibles are less often read aloud from...

    Why I read/study God's Word: The Authorized Version

    Non sequitur. Try reading what he wrote and responding to what he actually said. You have the explaining to do and your "cut and paste" rhetoric is not getting the job done. Where has anybody but YOU stated "Christ is a sinner"? Where does God state in Scripture that Mary was SINLESS? The...

    Why I read/study God's Word: The Authorized Version

    We have the same HOLY SPIRIT - Yesterday, Today and Forever - to protect the GOSPEL and lead God's Children into God's Truth. Even the worst translations still contain enough TRUTH for the Holy Spirit to do his work and lead men to Christ. Among the common translations, there are no bad ones...

    Why I read/study God's Word: The Authorized Version

    Says what verse? Says the "holy church" 2000 years after the fact? Which TRUTH and which SCRIPTURES ... the RCC, the EOC, the OOC, the ACOE ... they all claim Apostolic Authority and succession, they hold different TRUTHS and they have different BIBLES (varying list of accepted books)? The...

    Why I read/study God's Word: The Authorized Version

    Three things the Bible never says: Mary is "omnipotent" (all powerful). "mother of God" ... the Bible NEVER says this, ANYWHERE! Mary was given any 'dignity' other than "blessed" (and she is not alone in being 'blessed' by God).

    Why I read/study God's Word: The Authorized Version

    ... and my point is that it only takes a little poison to ruin an entire delicious meal; the apocryphal books are apocryphal because they contain drops of poison scattered among the pages ... the 66 books that ALL CHRISTIANS agree on, contain no poison but only LIFE.

    Why I read/study God's Word: The Authorized Version

    The Count Ludwig Von Zinzendorf (of Moravian Missionary fame) and the Wesley brothers both started "Bible Societies" to encourage people in ALL denominations of Christianity to actually READ and OBEY their Bibles and to become active in their (other denomination) Local Church. The RCC objected...

    Why I read/study God's Word: The Authorized Version

    Just a guess based on my limited interaction with the Catholic Church, but they probably cut into raffle sales. The Priests that I spoke with held the Church Raffle as their HIGHEST PRIORITY (and had little interest in theological questions).

    Have you any clue the significance of this?

    Why I read/study God's Word: The Authorized Version

    [Matthew 16:18-19 NASB20] "And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose...

    Why I read/study God's Word: The Authorized Version

    Look back at what you DID say. Did you exalt her? Did you ascribe to Mary things that belong to God?

    Why I read/study God's Word: The Authorized Version

    What are the Laws for ADULTERY, for WITNESSES and for putting someone to DEATH? Did Daniel follow them?

    Why I read/study God's Word: The Authorized Version

    ... and SAINT JEROME did say: He said the APOCRYPHAL books were "lesser" and were "not scripture". The issue was settled in the 300's when the scrolls were translated into Latin and bound into a BOOK. People just choose to love that which is not inspired - like Tobit and Maccabees and their...

    How to Authentically Speak in Tongues

    Sorry chief, but I have bowed out of this conversation. I do not have the gift of tongues, nor do I seek it, so I got no dog in your fight. I am just anti-cessationist since "abrogation" is a concept taught in the Qu'ran but not in the Holy Bible, and I am always disappointed when Christians...

    Why I read/study God's Word: The Authorized Version

    That's because until the KJV, we didn't have an officially "Authorized" version so we all just had to rely on the Holy Spirit. ;) [Here, have a little gasoline for that fire.] :cool:

    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    Genesis 1:27 (as God wrote it - in Hebrew) וַיִּבְרָא אֱלֹהִים אֶת־הָֽאָדָם בְּצַלְמוֹ בְּצֶלֶם אֱלֹהִים בָּרָא אֹתוֹ זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה בָּרָא אֹתָֽם׃ (וַיִּבְרָא) bārā' = H1254 = "so created" (אֱלֹהִים) 'ĕlōhîm = H430 = "God" (אֶת־) 'ēṯ= H853 = "" (הָֽאָדָם) 'āḏām = H120 = "man" (בְּצַלְמוֹ)...

    Why I read/study God's Word: The Authorized Version

    So you believe that Daniel violated the Law given by God to Moses for the Chosen People? (And the story was NOT part of Daniel for hundreds of years from the exile until the Hellenization of the Jews [assimilation of Greek culture and loss of Hebrew culture], was regarded as a FABLE by Saint...

    Why I read/study God's Word: The Authorized Version

    I went and read it after you mentioned it. It WAS a great story ... just like "The Little Drummer Boy" ... and also like "The Little Drummer Boy" is a work of fiction having no place in the inspired word of God. (Although it DOES make 'perfect' Daniel seem more 'human' to see him violating the...

    How to Authentically Speak in Tongues

    Remind me to never come here for edification. But I will return if I ever need my joy crushed by naysayers. (It is not the advice that scares me, it is the utter lack of GENTLENESS with which it is given.)
