The phase "the faith" is found in 42 verses in the KJV (62 times in the GNV). You may check for yourself but it is a phrase that defines the fundamentals of the Christian gospel and for one to be saved he must understand to some degree in whom he is believing and what he is believing about him...

I quoted verses from the epistle to the Romans. It was written in 58 AD. All NT history from the resurrection of Jesus Christ through Acts 18 had passed when he wrote it. It was letter number 6 that he wrote, being preceded by Galatians, (49AD), 1 Thess (51AD) 2 Thess (51AD), 1 Cor (54 AD) and 2...

This post of yours disappoints me greatly because I know you are too intelligent to come to this conclusion through reason and study and faith in the words through which God makes his everlasting covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It demonstrates the great error of this time in history...

It is my view that the New Testament was written in a gentile language because of the rejection of his people to hear his word that he had given them over 1500 years. Jesus had preached "the gospel of the kingdom," a promise he had given to that nation in the scriptures he gave them. All Jesus...

Neither do I. One thing God isn't is common. The KJV is in the words that God has chosen. It is the word of God. Gender neutral versions had to happen because there are now so many English versions that it must be hard for translators to make enough significant changes to get a copyright.

What does all that have to do with the op? You have not responded to my challenge to produce one verse where God has charged men to preserve his words. How can God use the exact same words to hide his truths from one group of men while with those same words reveal his truths to another group? If...

Are you saying that what one believes about what is written does not matter that much with God but just how serious you are in your belief system?

The Jews have their own language and when they are addressed in a different tongue it is a sign from God that they are under his disciplinary judgement. The Jews national language is Hebrew. Isaiah 36:13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear...

What is your reaction to those Bibles? You ignore them except as they apply to your obsessive arguments against the manner in which God has chosen to preserve his scriptures. At least that is my observation. You rarely quote any Bible and depend almost exclusively on the scholarship of sages who...

You have not proven that God had anything to do with the translations you referenced, much less led them who produced them. He is not a trial and error God. Neither have you proven that being church of England members, if they were, disqualified them from being used of God to accomplish his...

Okay, strike that phrase "Baptist denominations" and replace it with" Christian sects." The reason there is divisions is because of different sects treating the words of scripture differently. The instructions that God gives to his church is found in 1 Corinthians 1:10. He says this: 1...

Jesus Christ, who is the God Man, said the words that he speaks are spirit and they are life (Jn 6:63). He said this about the words he spoke. He made this statement in the context of demonstrating how to understand that the miracles of God of the past are to be a metaphor of future realities...

God is the first Zionist. It is his idea. Psalm 48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. Psalm 78:68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. Psalm 125:1 They that trust in the Lord...

In our Independent Fundamental pretibulational, premillennial Baptist church we do all our songs of praise and worship from the Baptist Hymnal. We love those old hymns. We sing about what God has done for us in redeeming us through Jesus Christ on the cross. Few of our songs predate the events...

Thank you for your interest, Mike. Dispensationalism requires a literal understanding of the scriptures unless the context directs otherwise. I look at the words as if one can believe what they say but I also know God takes the literal word to establish a metaphor or similitude . In Psa 12 we...
