Lk 20:34 "Jesus said to them, 'Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage, 35 but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. 36 Indeed, they cannot die anymore, because they are like...

I agree with this, if we correct the strong influence of feminists. I like the NRSVue because it is more theologically neutral, but very accurate. I like the translation of the OT because it strives to translate as the Jews in that day would have understood it, rather than read back into the...

I may be too old and cranky to enjoy the Faith and Family Movie type videos or films. They always come across to me sort of syrupy like the old "Shirley Temple" movies. LOL

This is what I found online about that series: The Ip Man series refers to a collection of Hong Kong martial arts films and a TV series that are loosely based on the life of Ip Man, a renowned Wing Chun grandmaster. Film Series The main Ip Man film series consists of the following movies: Ip...

The old Particular Baptists are sometimes called antinomian, those who take assurance of salvation and peace so far as to be lawless. How was their battle with sin viewed in relationship with their justification? Their 1644 First London Confession illustrates that they did not reject God's...

As a retiree, I watch a lot of TV. I was sickened by the blasphemous ways God's name is used in most Hollywood TV and movies. The shacking up, one night stands or bf/gf cohabiting being portrayed as normal, was sick enough... but using God's name with such vile gutter trash words angered me...

Randy, you are reasoning, but I don't see the scriptures upon which you base your conclusions? I suppose this is a difference in our approach to interpretation. "Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not to...

A. Faith is the new law, neonomianism - "So you see, faith or belief is counted the same as obedience. It is obedience. On the other hand, unbelief is counted the same as disobedience." B. Faith is the means or instrument to apply justification to the believer - "Faith is the sole means or...

Carl, you wrote, "Grounded in an Anglican Church", rather writing Episcopal. Are we to understand you to be associated with the more conservative Anglicans, who hold to "The 39 Articles of Religions" in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer? I do not know how the Anglican Communion in Australia...

Carl, if you were to lead a Bible study, readers should know your theological views up front. Do you associate your theology, your understanding of scripture, with that of any known denomination so we know your perspective? How about a Confession of Faith such as the Westminster Confession, or...

YES, there are major and important differences between the First and Second London Confessions of Baptists. For instance, the following important points - There is NO mention of the Ten Commandments, Old Covenant or the Sabbath in the 1644/1646 Confession. Also, importantly, In the 1644/1646...

Neither did God say: "Thou shall not be homosexual"

A world where each individual, having no authority or legitimacy to define words, does so, that is a world of PURE NONSENSE For those trying to define "homophobia" strictly by one of the words in the compound word, that is incorrect grammar: "Compound words have their own distinct meanings...

It is interesting how a literal translation renders that verse: Pro 18:24 LITV "A man of friends may be broken up, but there is a Lover who sticks closer than a brother." :D

First off RLT, I appreciate your response. Second, if I ever used the word "homosexuality" in my posts, which I doubt; I'd want to refresh my memory in what context I used the word. To give definition as to what I am talking about, I go to an English dictionary: The definition of...

You are using the shallow and misleading approach I've read called "spoof texting", because you don't understand any of the verses you give. You are doing what most gay-hating Bible thumpers do, sidestep the examination of each single verse in order to arrive at your bigoted conclusion. Your...

Your reply is typical of too many people claiming to know the Bible. I see the absence of any exposition of the verse in question, 2 Sam. 1:26. You're making a baseless editorial style response that does not effect Bible believers. I couldn't care less what you think is "mentally ill or evil"...

One verse alone answers your question or statement. The love of Jonathan and David in the OT has been praised and admired for centuries. It is this one verse alone that I have not ever seen explained away or refuted - "I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; greatly beloved were you...

There are definite rules for biblical interpretation and a couple of articles illustrate this well: From an article found in the 1952 RSV, "Method and Procedure of Revision": "A recent speaker has told of a project to issue 'a theologically conservative translation of the Bible.' Doubtless this...

If all you can do is post links to web sites making your case, apparently you cannot express your own thoughts based on study of the Holy Bible.
