The "Acts" of the Apostles?

Or Adam & Eve... or Cain... or David... or Saul... or Joseph's whole family... or Balaam... or Peter... or Moses... and the list could go on and on.

So true. Nowhere does that Scripture say: "All Scripture shows us the way we should act."

What that really says is that we tend to believe anything we hear (or read) enough, so we need to be sure we are hearing (reading) the word of God.

Here, I'll give you just the first half-page (of 28 pages) Epistle and Dedicatorie To the most high and mightie Prince, James by the grace of God King of Great Britaine, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, The translators of The Bible,wish Grace, Mercie, and Peace, through Jesus...

Why post some selected excuses from a pro KJV site? Read the entire preface (It is 12,223 words, and I can send it to you from my computer if you can't find it) and see the butt-kissing the translators gave the king. Those guys weren't going to present a word James didn't want written down.

You might want to do some study on just WHY James-I wanted to be sure some of his translation would be specifically different from the Geneva Bible.

I have no problem with the Apocrypha being included in the Bible. (I had to go elsewhere to find those books in order to read them.) And I consider the supposed "mistakes" in the KJV to be very small matters. My trouble with recommending that version is the difficult and convoluted...

Luke 5:23 King James Bible Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? (Jesus' very own words)

The KJV?????? Let me always see God this way instead: Psalm 23 The Passion Translation (TPT) The Good Shepherd 23 David’s poetic praise to God >[a] 1 The Lord is my best friend and my shepherd. >[b] I always have more than enough. 2 He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love...

Again with the THREAT message: "Love me, or I will kill you!" When are we ever going to actually hear His voice?

No, actually, not that many people in the Vineyard churches speak in tongues, and none of them claim (as Pentecostals do) that such a phenomenon is necessary for, nor a requisite for, having the Holy Spirit. This starts with one of three (1/3) videos our founder did on "the gifts."

I just Googled that, and found a different consensus: https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGHP_enUS810US810&q=is+the+number+of+Christians+growing&gws_rd=ssl

Although I do not attend one, I align most with The Vineyard Fellowship.

Yeah, if we really do understand it. But, due to the proliferation and variances of the multitudes of "understandings" this Earth is littered with, it is kind of obvious that we should all realize that we (the collective "we") don't. Individually, of course we all KNOW we really do understand.

On end times matters, I tend to listen to what the Bible says: Matthew 6:34 New International Version (NIV) 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. And, I like this translation best: Matthew 6:34 The Passion...

"Us vs. Them" will always rear its ugly head if we do not let Jesus reel us in some.

In situations like that, and others specific to only us, it just might be a moment for each of us to realize that what we are insisting they hear may not be the truth God has for them.

As long, Blueberry, as we are both saying that people aren't saved by only believing certain particular "correct" denominational doctrine. Thanks, BTW, for the backup way back then.

What was Saul's punishment for his misguided killing and imprisoning of Followers of The Way before he became Paul? As I recall, he was just asked why he was doing that.
