Sorry, what do you mean? I thought the link might have been a video, but it was just a picture of a crucifixion, with the words that for the thread title printed on it. Are you saying that somehow, people in China saw the crucifixion of Jesus Christ some 2000 years ago? Or that people in...

There are no apostles today in the sense that the New Testament uses that term. One of the qualifications for such an apostle was that he had to have seen the risen Christ. Nobody alive today has physically seen the risen Christ. Of course, some apostles wrote books of the New Testament...

I agree. But saying that certain words and phrases in English have different meanings now to those they had in 1611 is not about what God says in His word, but about how that word is translated into English. Surely you are not saying that God can only express His word in 17th century English...

Changed from what, though? The English language has changed since 1611, so for example "prevent" means "stop something happening" now, but in 1611, it meant "to go before." It is surely not diabolical to translate the Hebrew or Greek word as "go before" or "precede", rather than "prevent"...

Yes, works of fiction and non-fiction can be copyrighted, but that doesn't mean fiction is a definition of copyright. A potato can be cooked, but potato is not a definition of cooking! Not so! Saying that "fetched a compass" no longer means "turned around" in English is not making myself an...

.....or, as the hymn Angel Voices Ever Singing says in one verse: In Thy house, great God, we offer Of Thine own to Thee, And for Thine acceptance proffer, All unworthily, Hearts and minds and hands and voices In our choicest Psalmody.

The definition of "copyright" does not include being untrue. For example, are these words: NKJV 1Ti 1:15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. any less true than these words: KJV 1Ti 1:15 This is a...

We don't save anybody. Only Jesus Christ saves sinners. That is why He is called the Saviour. We don't "harvest souls" either. Remember what Jesus said when He explained the parable of the wheat and the tares: NKJV Mat 13:39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of...

How do you get from my post that I cannot quote the saving gospel, or that I don't understand "angry" in Matthew 5:22? My point was that anger does not necessarily involve violence. Your quoted definition of orgizomenos says nothing about violence.

Why all this talk about copyright? I said in the post to which you are replying that all the English translations I have available (including the KJV - which is under "crown copyright" anyway here in the UK) have the word "fathers" or "fathers'" as plural. The KJV says: KJV Rom 11:28 As...

Sorry, but I don't see how that answers what I asked, about where Romans 13 makes us the governing authority. I have no idea what " "takin' a cruise on the love boat" on some river in Egypt!" means.

I do, and have done so many times. I find Paul saying that there is just one gospel: NKJV Gal 1:6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, Gal 1:7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to...

But I can be angry with somebody without being violent. When my son was growing up, I was sometimes angry with him, but not violent, for example. I have said before that this thread didn't begin by being about situations like a criminal coming into your home to murder, but about Christians...

I don't believe there are particular verses via which people must be saved today, or at any other particular time in history. Some Christians can point to a particular verse or verses that the Lord used to save them, others can't. I know that Charles Haddon Spurgeon was saved under preaching...

So do I, but I have just looked back at the first post in this thread to check, and it is clear that this thread is not about the authority of the state, but about whether it is right for Christians to retaliate with violence against those who persecute them. For example, the OP mentions...

I am not rejecting it. Those verses say: NKJV Gal 2:7 But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised had been committed to me, as the gospel for the circumcised was to Peter Gal 2:8 (for He who worked effectively in Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised also...

Apart from saying that according to the Bible, all have sinned, so in God's sight, not one of us is innocent, how does your post answer my question about where in Romans 13 are we told that we are put in authority?

True, but that whole Bible includes the Epistle to the Hebrews, where we are told that animal sacrifices coud never actually take away sin, and that Jesus Christ was the one perfect, complete, and never-to-be-repeated sacrifice: NKJV Heb 9:24 For Christ has not entered the holy places made with...

You seem to be saying that Jews were saved without believing in the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of the Saviour. Yet the Old Testament, which the Jews would have known, included indications that the Messiah would suffer for His people. For example: NKJV Isa 53:4 Surely He has...

But when you first mentioned Foxe's Book, it was in answer to somebody who had asked you for verses (I assume he meant Bible verses) to support your statement about apostles going to places like India. I believe that apostles, or Christians sent by the apostles, took the gospel to lands such as...
