I had not heard of this before. I note that the denomination (?) has not yet found its way to Britain. My church would not join a denomination, and would not have close fellowship with churches that follow the 'Federal Vision,' nor with those that practise paedocommunion, which must entail a...

Time will tell. I tend to doubt it. The deaths of Colonel Gadaffi and Saddam Hussein did not bring peace or stability to Libya or Iraq. Trump is rather obviously suffering from some form of dementia, thinking that just by bombing Iraq he would provoke surrender. Hitler bombed Britain for...

He should have thought about how to keep the straits open before he went to war. He's just playing catch-up now. He should have realised the fanaticism of the Iran regime when it slaughtered thousands of its own people back in January. And by assassinating the Iranian leaders, Trump ends up...

:Roflmao:Roflmao:Roflmao That's a good one! No, I don't think the NKJV Is the same as the 1611 KJV. They are indeed not the same in loads of verses. Titus 2:13, KJV. 'Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savioue Jesus Christ.' Titus 2:13, NKJV...

Possibly so, but then you write: So he is speaking of the Vulgate. But the Preface continues, "A man may be accounted a virtuous man, though he has made many slips in his life (else there were none virtuous, for, in many things we offend all), also a comely man and lovely, though he have some...

Absolutely! A well-known quotation from Richard C. Lewontin (of whom I know nothing, except that he is a Harvard geneticist and biologist): “Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the...

Yes! I know very little indeed about science, but I do know the First Law of Biogenesis (aka Pasteur's Law): Life can only come from pre-existing life. This pretty much requires the existence of God. One of the requirements of a scientific law (I believe) is that there has to be a way of...

God chose people. Real people. When Paul tells the Thessalonians, 'God from the beginning chose you for salvation,' he is writing to real, live people living in Thessalonika. God told Jeremiah, 'I have you [singular] with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.'...

No. I don't believe they were; certainly not at the time they wrote, and given the qualification they made which you conveniently omitted. You should read the arguments they give for making that statement. I do not need to find out. I have the complete 'Preface to the Reader' in the front of...

The translators of the KJV certainly didn't consider their version to be uniquely excellent. An extract from The Translators to the Readers (written by the translators, this appeared in full in the original 1611 printing): '..... We do not deny, nay, we affirm and avow, that the very meanest...

For a guy who squeals like a stuck pig every time someone criticizes his view you can be very unpleasant. If anyone wanted an example of gibberish, it's right here. Where does the Bible talk about "individually" and/or "corporately"? Ephesians 1:4 says, 'Just as He chose us in Him before the...

No. Leave them alone.

Actually, yep! You tried this once before. Cut and paste from post #60. Ephesians 2:3. 'Among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature the children of wrath.' Now 'we all' in this epistle are...

Thanks, @Van. I knew I could count on you for encouragement. However, I think you may be placing a lot of emphasis on the circumcision of Christ as we read of it in Luke 2:21. I think also that if you were blindfolded, and had either washing or circumcision performed on you, you would be able...

So how does this work out practically? We have seen that being born again has a most profound effect upon one’s inmost being, but that does not mean that it alters one’s personality. The person who is intellectual by nature will remain an intellectual after being saved; the practical person...
