    What is the narrow gate?

    credentials (Again? Sigh!) So you and your little mind is expecting an irrelevant [wide/broad] gateway/shortcut to know about my capabilities/limitations by asking for my credentials instead of scholarly [re]searching for genuine/logical sources/citations/facts/proofs huh? I am a maestro...

    What is the narrow gate?

    Re: John 7:15 (the verse under discussion) the hundreds of Greek scholars who put these translations together do not know what they are doing ???????? They all do? And I don't? Well, let some of them speak for themselves then: New Living Translation The people were surprised when they heard...

    Differences Between the Old and New Covenant

    Sealed by Circumcision - Gen.17:13-14 - “Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant. 14 Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised in the flesh, will be cut off from his people; he has...

    Version Smursions?!

    Hi again Enquirer, I checked/examined about 10 verses randomly, and discovered that ALL of them are wrong; to a greater or lesser degree. It is after all, just another [bad] translation. Do not be at the mercy of all those (or any) "strange" Bible translators. If I am not mistaken, there is...

    What is the narrow gate?

    Please hold press! Matthew 7:13-14 should be rendered as either: 7:13 Enter ye through the strait gate because the wide gate and the broad way [are] the [doctrine] leading away to/into/toward the destruction, and many are the [ones] entering through her (the doctrine of scribes/humans/men) 7:14...

    What is the narrow gate?

    Typo, it should read John 7:15. I repeat: (Please compare with your personal Bible/Babble if it's laughable or not) John 7:15 (ESV) The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?” John 7:15 (ISV) The Jewish leaders were astonished and...

    What is the narrow gate?

    HG, all you've done is muddy the waters with other connotations and you supposed understanding of the Greek. Please allow me to paraphrase your charge/allegation in a "cooler" manner: HG, I suspect that you don't really understand the Greek Scripture because you and/or your translations do not...

    What is the narrow gate?

    Mr StanJ, 1) Do you have a problem with the above rendering of Luke 13:22-30? 2) Do you think I have rendered it out of its proper context? Well, I know now for sure that you haven't understood what is "a/the hole of a/the needle"[yet]. What was in Jesus' mind when He made these statements...

    Differences Between the Old and New Covenant

    Some say: The old is in the new concealed, and the new is in the old revealed. Others say: The old is revealed by the new. My Bible says something like: If the old is good, why the need for the new? My Bible also says something like: The old is [only] a shadow (a bad past) of the new (good...

    John 14:15 Is obedience a cause or effect?

    The word-for-word (verbatim) translation of John 14:15 is: If ye love Me, ye will observe the My the commandments. Since the "If" (Supposing) is in the Subjunctive mood, it is definitely of the future, so this verse can be rendered as: If ye [will] love Me, ye will observe the My the...

    John 14:15 Is obedience a cause or effect?

    Nope, the half-truths of ESV is just as bad. Sorry! John 4:15-17 (ESV) 15“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper,f to be with you forever, 17even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees...

    Version Smursions?!

    Dear FHII, if God is willing, I will be hanging around in this forum for the next 5, 6 hours. Can we have a one-on-one friendly chat? I am an old man (with a little eraser in my head :(), so please try to go slow on me with a couple of sentences at a time. Cheerio! Your own version is the KJV...

    Version Smursions?!

    I love you already, and I believe that someday you will love me right back. The way to go, bro. Without knowing a word of the Greek language, some of my friends took as long as 2 to 3 months to learn how to translate the holy Scripture by themselves. One of us studied and understood it only...

    John 14:15 Is obedience a cause or effect?

    This one is easy. ESV is acceptable. The "will keep" (τηρήσατε will observe/watch/guard) is in the future tense. Both NIV and KJV are ridiculously wrong. The "if" is in the subjunctive mood, and τηρήσατε is definitely not in the imperative mood. Johnlove, SIT! STAY! John 3:16 HCSB “For God...

    A Chinese saying: [Other] People Talked East, You Talk West. A friendly reminder to pray God for a brain. (Sigh!)

    Version Smursions?!

    At 17, I doubt you have heard of this saying of old: If hospitals are the devil's biggest playground, then the *bibles must be the devil's greatest tool. *Romanized/Babylonian babbles. Not all is lost though, we might be sharing something in common: the hope of glory. Cheerio! 1) What is...

    Such as? I hope you are not a [habitual] liar (like your father?). Cheerio! called??????? (kaleo???????) Huh? You (Ahem, all of you) obviously do not know the answer of this simple question huh? How about: called/voiced?????? (phoneo???????) Huh? You (Ahem, all of you) also do not know the...
