    Do you really know Jesus and our Father?

    Another take on it: Hebrews 1:8 The Passion Translation (TPT) 8 But about his Son, he called him “God,” [a] saying, “Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever and you will rule your kingdom with justice and righteousness,b [b] Footnotes: Hebrews 1:8 Clearly implied in the text and...

    Mother Teresa

    I do get surprised at how few people seem to understand that "Lukewarm" passage.

    Door to door witnessing

    We had some really cool ones visit us just before Easter. They just said, "Hi, we are from the church down the block and just wanted to invite you to spend Easter morning with us if you didn't plan to be somewhere else. We're doing breakfast, by the way." They left a card and waved goodbye.

    pray for illegal immigrants

    Watch the news a little. Many California Sanctuary Cities are now dying because of the massive influx.

    pray for illegal immigrants

    Though *Stranger* is a bit eaten up with prejudice, he is right about one thing. Too many citizens from third-world countries will soon drag America down to their level... and Dems just can't seem to get their eyes open wide enough to see that.

    pray for illegal immigrants

    I think his point is that the influx of immigrants is the Democrat's guaranteed path to regaining power. And although our biggest problems is the establishment, the Dems also want to destroy America as a nation.

    What Makes a Bible Version a Paraphrase?

    Just for comparison: John 14:26 The Passion Translation (TPT) 26 But when the Father sends the Spirit of Holiness, the One like me who sets you free, he will teach you all things in my name. And he will inspire you to remember every word that I’ve told you.

    If you believe it is God's will that you live in poverty and sickness=you got it!

    And yet...… you do not accept the TV Evangelists that so many say should not have money? I'm confused. Which way is it?

    One man's feelings about "The Bible Students." Do the Bible Students (a religious movement founded by Pastor Russell) still exist or became Jehovah's Witnesses? Owen Richard Kindig, Am I a Jesus follower? You tell me. Answered Mar 4, 2016 · Author has 415 answers and 264.9k answer views Yes...

    What Makes a Bible Version a Paraphrase?

    Not at all. I am, and have consistently been, speaking exclusively about the translations we read today, and what the translators of several hundred years ago decided were the meanings of the original words.

    What Makes a Bible Version a Paraphrase?

    Then you tell us what they were doing...… an "educated guess" is still a guess. None of those translators spoke the language, since they were trying to come up with answers to what is known as a "dead language." All they could do was compare old scraps and make conclusions as to what the most...

    pray for illegal immigrants

    In short, "No." America is a better place to live because, up until the last thirty, or so, years, we have worked hard to make it so.

    What Makes a Bible Version a Paraphrase?

    Whether 400 years ago when the KJV was written, or today, the languages the Biblical people spoke were long since dead. They were not languages still spoken in 1611. Those old translators were basically "guessing" as are translators of today. The big difference is that the "guessing" of today...

    Mother Teresa

    Not a single one of us really "knows." We just have to depend that we are believing what God wants us to believe.

    What Makes a Bible Version a Paraphrase?

    Listen to the questions the American pig finally asks the other two. (From about 6:30 onward) THESE are prime examples of what I would like to ask most translators. It just makes no sense to keep grinding out copies of a book written in a language that doesn't even come close to what we use and...

    What Makes a Bible Version a Paraphrase?

    See? Even right here, you could not use the same words the translators chose to insert. You, yourself, had to offer an interpretation derived from going to other verses. How much easier it would have been if the translators had done that for you, so that you didn't have to try to explain...
