No, I am not sure how they will look but they never developed mentally into the person they would have become and I do not see them just automatically becoming an "adult" but then again, we have Adam whom God created out of the dust of the earth. He was a fully grown, physically developed adult...

I do not for one minute believe that God is exercising partiality or favoritism over whom he heals and whom he does not! Everything God does is for his glory and for our good! It may very well be God's best that you be afflicted with cancer or some other terminal illness and no, I would not...

God is most certainly in the healing business and I pray for healing all the time. God is sovereign over when and whom he heals though and he is the source or joy regardless of the outcome!

Have you been "Entirely saved" yet? Are you now glorified in an incorrupible body that will never die or grow old? This is something the extreme "Word of Faith" crowd completely leaves out of such teaching.

Who and what are they mentally? How would you make a logical leap from infancy to adulthood and what scriptural basis would you build this upon?

I remember Whisnant's "88 reasons why the rapture will happen in 1988." This was the big culminaton of many other predictions based upon a 40 year generation from the rebirth of Israel. I also recall the Mayan prediction of 2012 and then I personally revised this to 2021 thinking perhaps the...

This list actually goes back quite far but I would add to it the actual Apostles seeing they were obviously expecting Christ to take the throne and reign as Messiah in Jerusalem (Acts 1:6). I'm betting they were thinking that Christ would be back in a few days to set everything up! The early...

I guess we should preface this as being "From my experience" and I would say that I share much of this same experience. As a non-Calvinist, I often felt that it was ON ME to present the Gospel in a way that would make the message more appealing, clever tactics, and so forth and in many cases...

You acknowledge that it is impossible to translate exactly from one language to another which therefore makes a "perfect" translation impossible unless God "divinely inspired" the translation of the King James Bible! This matter of "secondary" or "double" inspiration is a sticky point between...

If you are citing Romans 8:26, where in this passage does it mention anything having to do with "Tongues?" Did I misunderstand you earlier? We do not know quite what to say, we are at a loss for words, so the Holy Spirit takes over and helps us along. What is so difficult to understand here...

I am not adequately skilled in Greek to properly parse the passage but it is clear that "unknown" was inserted and other translations speak of it being a language unknown to the listener. I believe this is implicit through the text and is why it was inserted in the first place. Those who are...

News flash, they have been predicting the apocalypse and second coming ever since Jesus's ascension into heaven! Christ is coming soon! This goes without saying but time is relative and also pretty much a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of eternity. I am still premillennial in my...

This is an instance in which I actually agree with and prefer the added italics in the King James Version! I believe it is agreed by all that "Tongues" equates to language right? It is therefore understood that everyone speaks with at least one "tongue" (language) and mine so happens to be in...

It is my understanding that the "Johannine Comma" (1 Jn 5:7) was back-translated from Latin to Greek because it was not found in any of the texts Erasmus consulted when compiling the Received Greek Text (Textus Receptus) of which the KJV was ultimately translated.

KJV-Only simply means that one believes the King James Version to be superior to all other English translations and therefore believe and use only the KJV translation. There are varying degrees of this belief from one believing that the King James is the best possible translation to the King...
