Why ever should Mongolian Christians (for example) have to rely on a bible translated from Hebrew and Greek into 17th century English, then translated from 17th century English into Mongolian? Why do you think English speakers should be the only people to have a bible translated from the...

Perhaps it would be more accurate to say, "The days of everybody who calls himself a Baptist actually being a Baptist are far in the past," but I know what you mean. :)

I think I get your point, although I have never watched "The Chosen."

In his profile he says he's a Baptist.

I agree. And where does all other versions being satanic leave Christians who don't speak English? Are translations of the bible into Icelandic, Mongolian, Norwegian, or whatever all satanic?

There are many words and phrases which don't occur in the bible that Christians use to express biblical concepts. Here are just some: The Lord's Supper, theology, hermeneutics, tract. I am sure there are many more. That doesn't mean that there is anything unbiblical about things like theology...

Catholic dogma? Translating the bible into any language other than Latin was frowned upon by the Roman Catholic church. As far as I am aware, none of the KJV translators was a Roman Catholic.

Thank you for your kind reply. It is good that we can disagree on things without any nastiness or rudeness to one another. Thanks again, and every blessing!

He started his London preaching at New Park Street Chapel in 1854. I have never heard of Main Street Baptist Church. In 1861 the congregation of New Park Street Chapel moved to a new, purpose-built chapel, the Metropolitan Tabernacle, so it wan't that New Park Street Chapel changed its name to...

I don't think it's true that the Reformers were against going to the original languages. The comment about the ploughboy was made by bible translator William Tyndale, who was the first to translate the bible from its original languages of Hebrew and Greek into English. (This year marks the...

I wouldn't want you to think that I have just ignored your post, but I think we are both getting repetitive, saying the same (or similar) things back and forth, which can't be very edifying to others here. So I think I will leave it there, at least for the time being. Thanks for the time and...

According to the Book of Common Prayer, these are the instructions to the minister: "Then the Priest shall take the Child into his hands, and shall say to the Godfathers and Godmothers, Name this Child. And then naming it after them (if they shall certify him that the Child may well endure it)...

No it doesn't. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith says: God has endued the will of man with that natural liberty and power of acting upon choice, that it is neither forced, nor by any necessity of nature determined to do good or evil. Matt. 17:12; James 1:14; Deut. 30:19 I could put the...

Reformed Baptists don't sprinkle.

If God can do as He pleases (and He can) then I cannot make Him responsible for anything. Is God responsible for people going to hell? No, they are, because they have disobeyed Him. Is God responsible for saved sinners going to heaven? Absolutely, because by nature all sinners deserve hell...
