Another is still having problems with it. So it's not 'fixed' for everyone. They need to learn the steps. I've given those at #36.

quietthinker, Please see the instructions I gave at #36. Oz

Mungo, It's not called 'private messaging'. It's called 'Start a Conversation'. Click on your name under your avatar and a dialogue box will come up. One of the options is: 'Start a Conversation'. Click that and away you go. You put a topic in the place allocated and then write your message...

You didn't answer my question. Are you a Bible translator? Do you read a translation that is full of 'guesses'?

epostle1, You have plagiarized (stolen) material from a Catholic Answers' website that you have included in your post. Google helped me locate some of your material: Bible Translations Guide - Catholic Answers Bible Translations Guide - Pack Of 50 Tracts At Catholic Answers we are often asked...

Willie, What evidence leads you to that conclusion? Are you a Bible translator from Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek into English that enables you to conclude that old and contemporary translators are 'guessing' in their translations? Oz

Willie, You seem to assume that an English translation is 'what was really meant' by the original author. That's a monstrous leap. Oz

Willie, The NLT translates as: “If you want to be my disciple, you must, by comparison, hate everyone else—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple". I have only a brief time to check the meaning of 'hate' in...

Excellent topic HiH, Oxford Dictionaries Online (s.v. paraphrase) defines paraphrase as: 'Express the meaning of (something written or spoken) using different words, especially to achieve greater clarity'. From my days in high school (a long, long time ago) to now, I've always understood that...

Good one! Perhaps that's what we should ask in this thread: How do you feel about women pastors?

HiH, The wake-up call for an expansion of my teaching gift came in 1984 in a USA university's doctoral programme. In one class I questioned something in the text and the professor said, in front of 20 class members, 'Your views are b__ s__' and he didn't abbreviate. I was dumb-founded that a...

Well said, HiH. I have been and am on a few forums on the internet. All forums have a few posters who don't see the compatibility of exegetical education, especially in the original languages, and being an everyday 'spiritual' Christian. Christian academics and spiritual life for some cannot...

Who are the other 2 and why should they be dismissed from CyB? What goading and flaming of people and their beliefs have they done? See #262 for definitions of 'goad' and 'flame' as applied to posters.

Triumph, You have misrepresented me. I have never said that disagreeing about Scripture is flaming. Never! That's a false charge. See #262 where I've tried to clarify the meaning of goad and flame when used on this forum. I will not tolerate people who lie about my theology and me on this...

Ac, What is goading/flaming on a forum? Goad: 'If you goad someone, you deliberately make them feel angry or irritated, often causing them to react by doing something' (Collins Dictionary 2018. s.v. goad). You have done that by your statements against me and my beliefs: 'You are the last...

This is your opinion. The late Dr Leon Morris was an in-depth Bible scholar but a delightful Christian; Dr D A Carson is an exegetical scholar who writes commentaries but preaches fine evangelical sermons and conducts evangelistic meetings on university campuses. F F Bruce was God's special...

Strong's Exhaustive Concordance is hardly the best way to find the meaning of a Greek word. It's a rather compact means for the laity. The word is ὀρθοτομοῦντα (orthotomounta) = masculine, singular, accusative case, present tense participle of orthotomeō. So, whatever its meaning it indicates...

Of what kind of authority is a woman forbidden to make over a man?

I consider you have a lot more Bible scholars to read. Have you read everything in the Arndt and Gingrich Lexicon? What about the 10 vols of Greek word studies edited by Kittel & Friedrich, Theological Dictionary of the New Testament? Have you read all of these to discern if Bullinger is the...

Ac28, Your reply here didn't answer my post to which you responded. You are off and running, insulting me again. Do you know what flaming a poster means? When you don't deal with my topic in your reply and then choose the topic about which you want to speak, you have committed a red...
