I've never understood evangelicalism's fascination with right-wing politics. Right-wing politicians aren't doing any more to rid the land of godlesssness than the left are. Almost entirely lip service from both sides. Gun rights is not a biblical issue. Perversion and abortion are. What is the...

Isn't that exactly what "getting both sides" means?

Who said anything about a 16th century reformer? Prophets and apostles = Holy Bible. And what's with this "theory" thing? I'm not posing any theories. We're all taught by apostles. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; (John 17:20)

All it is evidence for is that Jesus was risen early the first day of the week. Any other conclusion requires reading into the text something which is not there. And then you're just copying and pasting other Scripture I already addressed, I believe. The mentions of Sunday in the New Testament...

Praise the LORD!!! Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, (Psalms 103:1-3)

Am I understanding you correctly? You are here defending the authority of the Catholic church, and you believe the last six popes could actually be fakes?

Hi Mary, How the Christian world came to observe Sunday is simple matter of history. The Roman Church sought to distance itself from Jews, and to encourage the conversion of Pagans (who had been worshipping on Sunday for a long time….this is how it became known as the “sun day”). So it adopted...

I'm not suggesting theories at all. You have quite an imagination.

Sorry. :( How about pre-modern translations, then? I'm honestly not trying to pigeon-hole you. :) My point was that I don't think my interpretation of the verse requires any presumption. But it's perfectly all right if you disagree. I'm not sure what you mean by "all of God's words." All we have...

Unfortunately, most of us don't have a heart-reading machine. :)

You emphasized neither. I merely assumed that the word lawful was the source or your remark about presumption. The KJV-only remark was not directed at anyone in particular. When you suggest mistranslation around here they usually come out of the woodwork. I apologize for any perplexity my...

Modern translations are not all the same, are they? Young's Literal is actually pre Westcott-Hort. Wasn't the King James corrupted by Catholic and Anglican Theology?

I'm certainly fallible. To say this site is holy ground and then to unleash the amount of levity you have here is somewhat confusing, I must admit.

That 2nd paragraph was meant for another poster--BB1953. Please disregard.

Lawful is very likely a mistranslation. What could Christ peak that is unlawful? The word translated "lawful" can also be translated "possible." And here we go. I have just gone down the KJV-only rabbit hole.

People are ultimately saved or lost. Period. God knows beforehand what people are going to do throughout their lives and also exactly when they're going to die. So there is no need for people to transition back and forth between saved and lost. But people are judged according to their works of a...

It's the perpetual straw man of evangelicalism.

All of them. So what. Are you actually suggesting that God's saving grace is regulated by the limitations of an object (time) that He created?

I thought Christ Himself taught Paul when he was caught up to the 3rd heaven.
