That's part of the issue that drives me away from forums, your quibbling over Bible being different from Scripture. They are one and the same. It's only your invented difference. Oz

Stan, Irenaeus, writing about AD 180, stated: If you go back about 50 years prior to this, Papias, bishop of Hieropolis in Asia Minor, wrote, 'Matthew compiled the sayings [of the Lord] in the Aramaic language, and everyone translated them as well as he could' (Explanation of the Sayings of...

How close are you to doing that? What are your reasons for giving up on Christian forums? I'm close to doing it.

Angelina, Your start of this thread has not generated any continuing interest here at CyB. Since I don't live in the USA, what has this new decision to accept tongues-speaking missionaries done to missionary giving in the SBs? What's the climate like in SB churches towards this view? Oz

That's your opinion! How do we arrive at a conclusion as to whether the Nicene Creed has content that is Christian or non-Christian? Is the NC derived from a dependable Scripture or from one infiltrated by opinion? Personal opinion will not help me determine if this is a true statement from...

I consider that all of us need to be like the Bereans, 'Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true' (Acts 17:11 NIV). However, I am not as...

There is an overlap and parallel of word usage in Classical Greek and the Greek of the Septuagint. There is also the use of Koine Greek following the NT. These are taken into account when Greek word studies are done.

From where did you gain that false information about my view of Scripture being only from myself? I represent a view that is affirmed by many authors in the evangelical Christian world. These are but a few: B B Warfield 1970. The Inspiration and Authority of the Bible. Philadelphia, PA: The...

I have just refuted that view, using the Greek language, but your opinion seems to know better. Your interpretation is exactly the opposite of the evidence I provided. Bye, Bye! :ph34r:

The better translation of suggnomev that your translation translates as 'as my opinion' is as the ESV translates, 'Now as a concession'. Paul is talking about whether it is recommended or authorised to be a bachelor or not. All he is saying is that it is his view - not God's command - that to...

Did you listen to the sermon? If you did, you'd know the answer to your question.

It doesn't have to specify which is Scripture as 'all Scripture' means just that - ALL.

It is only referring to the original documents of the Bible. They are the only ones that are breathed out by God. it does not refer to one's favourite translation.

I do wish you would defend your position with specific evidence. 'Paul writes one place ... his own opinion' and 'David also spoke for himself many times in the Psalms' presents no defense. The people who speak like your perspective in my country are from the Church of Christ. Is that your...

However, the NT does call David a man after God's own heart. Remember that 'all Scripture' is breathed out by God (2 Tim 3:16 ESV) and that goes way beyond the words of Jesus. Seems as though you have placed your own limitation on the authority of Scripture. I will not be going over and over...

Don't you understand how Greek word studies are done? Seems like you don't. A word may appear only once in the NT but it appears elsewhere in the Greek language and those pursuing word studies examine how it is used in other Greek literature.

The Barrd, Did you mean the JW New World Translation? The fact is that the New Living Translation was translated by a team of OT and NT language experts. I was speaking to one of them, Dr Don (D A) Carson when he preached at the City Baptist Tabernacle, Brisbane, a few weeks ago. He did the...

I've just listened to this powerful sermon by Dr Albert Mohler, President of the Southern Baptist Seminary, on our yearning for a king when we need the King of Kings. It was preached at Founders' Week, Moody Memorial Church, 2013. You can see it at...

No, mate, those authors gave analyses, based on the evidence available. You are giving speculation.

Joyful, Back in #279 I wrote: 'I'm speaking of King David: 'And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will' (Acts 13:22 ESV). It was in the NT that David was...
