. Why would it say such a thing? I'm sure I've seen at least a couple of math books that had no mistakes in them. . . Who are we to judge whether the Bible is right or wrong? Nice work for skeptics, but I don't see how the Christian can afford it. .

. What if God doesn't want just anyone who has an ounce of curiosity to know what His plans are? Doesn't He have the right, in your judgment, to relate some of His words only to those who are earnestly seeking His voice (perhaps someone whose time is not too valuable to be bothered)? Maybe He...

. Well, I would probably say that I wouldn't expect Daniel to tell you any more about Revelation than Matthew tells you about Isaiah or a thousand other passages tell you about others, but I don't get to decide that—God does. Maybe God had something special in mind for Daniel and Revelation...

. I don't think I've ever encountered a "Christian Newbie" with such an intellectually hostile attitude toward the Bible. My suspicions are definitely aroused. But if you actually are interested in how accurate Bible prophecy can be, the lecture begins at about the 27:00 mark: . Oh, here's...

Does the fact that counterfeits abound mean that there can be no genuine? :) :)

Could it be that God decides for Himself what is relevant to His people instead of satisfying individual whims of curiosity? Just a thought. Maybe He thinks that it might be relevant to Christians that Satan will have a masterpiece of deception to level at the inhabitants of earth in an effort...

. AMEN What's really unfortunate is that more harm is done by preterist and futurist interpretations than is normally recognized, even by those who reject them, present company excepted, I trust. It is much easier to justify/encourage the sins resulting from the carnal, world-loving heart if...

. I didn't realize at first what a patently false accusation this is. Not that I care to defend myself, but it might interest others to know how blinding arrogance and variance can be: Let's try this again: Declaring something with resolute arrogance does not make it so (2 Corinthians 12:20 -...

. Unless you're a Protestant who is also a historicist. Then you see the woman as the church. :) .

. That works out well for both of us, then, since you don't seem to exhibit any inclination toward discussion, in general—but rather, in favor of pontification. I wouldn't presume to read your mind, though, as you have so confidently done to mine (and pretty much everyone else's). Proverbs...

Declaring something with resolute arrogance does not make it so. Christ has not been described anywhere in Scripture as having gone through a transformation from flesh to spirit. The last reference we have to His state of being is, indeed, that of flesh, unless you believe one can thrust his...

I have to admit, the wholesale spiritualizing away of the 3 1/2 years between Calvary and the stoning of Stephen and the virtually immediate resulting initiative to take the Gospel to the Gentiles is a new one on me. Every wind of doctrine is truly blowing. I just wonder where the key text is...

1Ki 19:14-18 KJV 14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. 15 And the LORD...

I don't think I read this part correctly the first time. Aside from being nearly impossible to verify (the 1st language speaker numbers would be hard enough), what could possibly be the standard for gaging this kind of thing? There are all manner of degrees in fluency. It seems like it would...

No doubt, and I'm not unaware of the advantage that English-speakers have in influencing the world. It's just too bad that our language proliferation isn't commensurate with our level of godliness.

Cantonese, Hindi, and Spanish alone vastly outnumber us. We're so arrogant.

:100: I love this. English is the 1st language of only 1/5 of the world's population. Go to the head of the class!

Who decides what a "valid definition" is? And don't tell me the dictionary makers because they cave to the most embarrassing nonsense imaginable. They say that the word "literally" can also mean "virtually," because emotionally stunted "influencers" say so.

Yeah I'm fielding a similar bunch of baloney like this in another thread. Rank-and-file elitism. We all want to be like you arbiters of truth when we grow up.:jest:

And here I was, thinking you only cared about what the Bible says. According to EncycloBritan: Halakhah, (Hebrew: “the Way”) also spelled Halakha, Halakah, or Halachah, plural Halakhahs, Halakhot, Halakhoth, or Halachot, in Judaism, the totality of laws and ordinances that have evolved since...
