Well, I was in Church all day, so sorry I missed you. You can always private message me, and I do enjoy that! I prefer one on one correspondences as opposed to message board postings. As for "my creed"... I was a bit confused because I didn't think I mentioned a creed, and I didn't. That is...

Or Popes....

Good heavens! You would think such a prominant topic would yield some answers! I have some ideas, thoughts and Bible verses that can answer that (sort of), but it'd take a long time to explain not only my answer, but the support for it. Almost everyone knows that there is a best, there is...

From my understanding of what is written in the Bible, they go to Hell, but it is not their final destination. They will eventually be delivered to the white throne to be judged. They will have "a book" of their life and it will be compared to the "Book of Life", and they will be judged...

1. I stated in my first post on this thread tht I follow the KJV. I also stated that there are time when I would look at another version, however, my stand in doctrine comes from the use of the KJV. 2. It wasn't my point that there are errors in other versions. I was objecting to the belief...

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here, HammerStone. It its what I think you are getting at, sure. Sticking to one version doesn't automatically make you correct. It does, however, ensure that you aren't simply looking for a second "opinion" simply because you didn't like what the first...

Folks, I stand by what I have said. I've read your opinions, arguements and such, (as you did mine) and I disagree and don't understand how you don't see where this practice can lead to making the Bible fit your personal beliefs. And like I hope I got across, I'm not immune to it either. THis...

Good words! I need Christ daily to keep me from being depressed. I thank God that he told me the end of the story. Otherwise, it all seems hopeless.

I've expressed this point of view MANY times before when the subject of "which version" comes up, and will do so again. I really think it's important enough to do so. I'm KJV through and through. It's the only version I stick with and quote from unless I'm dealing with someone who is using...

Looking at the context of the chapter, Jesus was speaking about prophets. Certainly, Jesus did prophesy, but it seems to me he was speaking of prophets of past time. it's a good point though.

Very interesting and I agree. Couple things come to mind: 1. Will they be judged at the White Throne Judgement (It's spoken of later in that chapter)? I think not. 2. Is this talking about literal martyrs who literally were beheaded? Again, I think not. It includes them, but I think...

Well, my turn... 1. Can we sin in heaven? Don't know. But I do know we won't. We will have a new mind, or rather, a pure mind stirred up by way of remembrance (this is going on now... It's already being formed). As for Satan, whatever happened to him was ordained by God. Foreordained...

If God made it, it was good. It just wasn't meant for Adam and Eve. Then again, if it wasn't there, Jesus' (slain before the foundation of the world) death wouldn't have been necessary.

No, Tex.... I've been through this with you before. It is NOT outdated. You don't like the old English it tends to use, fine. I get that. Personally, I have no problem with it. And no, it doesn't torque the Bible into poetry. I will grant you sometimes it does come off as poetic, but it...

Love your post! The Bible says that there are two things God cannot do: 1. Lie, 2. Take you back if you walk away from Truth. Then again he sent lying spirits and delusional spirits and Jesus told the story of the prodigal son. Yet, God backs down from man from time to time.... Moses...

It is a matter of opinion, Tex. Either that or of ignorance as to what the true facts are. To say it is more poetic than other versions is a matter of opinion. However, if you understand the written rules the translators were given, you will see no where were they told to intentionally make...

I'm not going to read all the responses. I'm just going to say that the Bible makes much more sense if you read it carefully and believe every (EVERY) word and just accept it as Truth over human understanding. That's the bottom line. and yes. God hated Esau and everything he produced after...

Flamboyancy by the law might be sinful.... Nothing to do with being Gay. But it seems to me God can be pretty flamboyant himself. He tends to show off. I mean, a rainbow is pretty flamboyant! He also gave priest a vest with stones that lit up "magically". Joseph wore a coat of many colors...

Well, first, that's a matter of opinion. But if it were true, I'd like to know if there is anything wrong with God being poetic? Psalms and Songs of Solomon are pretty much by nature meant to be poetic. Parts of Job are also very poetic, but what's wrong with that? As for "not academic...

I am a KJVO guy.... Sort of. It is the version I stick with, quote and believe. BUT! I'm not against all other versions. Some I am against, but not all. Sometimes I even look at other versions to see what they say, but in the end, I stay with what the KJV says. If I am in a debate with...
