Well, at least they don't allow anything Gnostic, which now that I think about it I can't say as I've seen them do that in quite some time. The whole thing about making sure what the word "catholic" means is standard practice when referring to the Creed. I'm Nicene Creed as well but not...

It's my experience with CF.com that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, meaning it's less about what's fair and more about simply who complains the loudest. It's a big forum, and I think the staff is mostly operating on a just put out the fires principle. Not the way it should be, IMO, but they...

If you mean CF.com, they have always had a strong Catholic presence, or at least what appears to be a strong pull within management. I was banned for sarcastically responding to an atheist - forget what it was now, but he was being sarcastic with me so I saw his sarcasm and raised it, - but...

KUWN, when you switch to the translation "have faith in me," you are subtly introducing the word εἰς into a sentence when it is not actually there in the Greek, which is why you have to be careful in translation. He uses the phrase "believe IN Me" / "have faith IN Me" on occasion, but when He...

Greetings all! Just a reminder that there are other studies in the series if anyone wants to participate. Just posted a new one today. https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/charismatic-bible-studies-2-peter-1-12-15.69276/...

The True Jesus Christ The New Testament teaching was clear that Jesus had come in the flesh, and any spirit who attempted to prophesy otherwise was not of God but of the Devil. 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets...

Refuting The Wickedness And Deceptiveness Of Cunningly Devised Myths The heresy early Christians were dealing with in this letter runs deeper than what appears on the surface, but the apostle Peter will now bring up the heart of the problem. They were making up "myths" to invent an entirely...

35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), 36 do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'? 37 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; 38 but...

They are largely equivalent in meaning, Lambano. It's just that KUWN was packaging the sentence to mean something entirely foreign to what the text actually says.

LoL! Come on, KUWN. I'm basing it on every MSS known to man so far as I can tell. If you have a text that says anything different, PRODUCE IT PLEASE.

Everything under the sun as far as I can see, LoL. If you have a text, what is it?

Not quite, LoL. Like I said, you inverted the phrasing. :clmSmlx Clever riddle, so I'm not gonna argue it to death, but technically you were taking a few liberties in translation. You are educated enough to know how εἰ οὐ ποιῶ τὰ ἔργα τοῦ πατρός μου, μὴ πιστεύετέ μοι· should be translated more...

What critical text? There is not a single MSS in existence that does not have εἰ οὐ ποιῶ τὰ ἔργα τοῦ πατρός μου, μὴ πιστεύετέ μοι·

Ummm... That was a bit of sleight of hand there, LoL. You inverted the phrasing to put the second phrase first. The actual Greek reads, "If I do not do the works of My Father, believe Me not." :clmSmlx

Good thread. For us, it was an unspoken togetherness, sort of like being on a different plane. Very hard to explain, but it's like we were closer than to worry about anything. None of it mattered. Maybe it was because the friendship was so strong and we laughed so much and communicated so...

Thank you, Walter. Trying to get back to writing and posting again now. Took a little time off, but it's nice to receive a little encouragement now and then. :clmSmlx

That is a very creepy connection, Mailman. Would anyone really put it past China to retaliate with (another) virus if we disrupted their economy bad enough? And does anyone on the planet really trust the WHO. It's just a globalist apparatus to control global population, not help it. ... That's...

The following hits it on the head right here. The supply chain disruption is poised to eliminate hundreds of thousands of American jobs, both in logistics and retail. The idea is to increase American manufacturing to create jobs and American independence (and I understand that's an...

And this from yesterday. Bessent worked with George Soros a few decades ago to financially break England, and Trump and Bessent just might do so with China now. But the question is still at what cost. Supply chains are now getting screwed up just like during the pandemic, so what's coming may...

Not sure if I posted this, but TV India from 10 days ago. Hard to take matters too hard when it's coming through an accent like this, LoL, but I do think he hits on a good point at 3:08. Something I was driving at before. If the rest of the world gets the feeling like we could pull the plug on...
