I fully understand and sympathize that the KJV is your God. But the reality of it for the rest of us, God is not a book. The book is a tool for us that seek to understand with the most accurate information possible. So kneel down before your book, as we kneel to God.

Well, as time goes on more and more texts are found that are older....closer to the originals. And translations like the NASB will change with them. The KJV will remain static with it errors and mistranslations inherent to the limited accuracy of the 1600's.

I agree on teaching church history...christian history but it is not going to happen. In the Protestants defense...most learn their religion sitting in a pew. You are not going to get a history lesson in most Protestant churches. That is what defines fundamentalism. For good or for bad. It is a...

You are right....but for sure acceptance varies between denominations. But still looking for inputs and opinions.

I think you are modest about your wisdom as usual...Then again a closed mine cannot learn any further.

Well, it will be difficult to top your post, but I challenge others to try. But in your opinion, do you think James's decision was a concession and or do you think he realized that the gentiles would take the reins of the church in just a few decades?

Your post was obnoxious, mine was pretty.

Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One... Then on the scene in the New Testament....you have Yahweh, Yeshua, and the Holy Spirit. Do you want me to count them for you?

I don't see anything here that bests what I have posted.

Oh I am sorry are you Jew?

John 16:12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

19. While Christ walked on earth in the Gospels, He referred to His Father which in Heaven...God the Father and God the Son in two locations. Individual presence Matthew 5:16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in...

The Truth is, the Trinity is not the merging or mixing of three entities into one, like you would a cake mix, nor is it a three headed God. It is a condition and a reality that is beyond our understanding, but in loose terms..... I believe and define that there are three Gods in one Godhead...

The concepts of the Trinity in motion Note: Feel free to verify all scriptural references in your own favorite translation. This is a topic that is easy to prove because it connects to hundreds of scriptures, which will be sited directly and or indirectly through this discussion. Then...

Thank you. Do think this was a total welcoming of the "gentiles" or a concession? Do you think James had any idea that within few decades the gentiles would take the reins of the Christianity?

Thank you. So for you what did the decision at the council of Jerusalem mean?

The ecumenical councils were a series of conferences (major and minor) which include ecclesiastical dignitaries (Bishops) who convened to discuss and settle matters of Church doctrine and practices in which those entitled to vote represented a whole range of Christian beliefs and churches. Of...

Thanks for all of that....but I guess, still the answer is no. There is an underlying middle-eastern cultural mind set here that still exists today. Trickery is seen as wisdom. For example the Moslems see any desire to negotiate as weakness on your part and only meet to see what they can get out...

I asked myself, "How so?" At first glance, Esau looks more righteous than Jacob. What did Esau do that was so wrong? Yet Jacob deceived Isaac. He connived to get Esau's birthright; and it seems too that Esau forgave him, he said he did at any rate, and Jacob promised to meet him in Seir but...

I still think that this conversion was a few conversations grouped together, and we can go through John and find more of these. On you point of Herod seeing the star, I concur to the extreme. During this period if anything is going on in the sky it is catching the attention of people and they...
