I meant to say only one version got that verse wrong. They did not kill Jesus and then hang Him upon the cross. His death was via the cross.

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross.[NASB 1995] The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.[ESV] The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.[KJV] The God of our ancestors...

Jesus heard that they had put him out, and finding him, He said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” He answered, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?” Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you.” And he said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped...

I think the difference is Van is making it a requirement to believe in the Trinity before they are saved, provided I’ve understood him correctly. That is not taught in the Bible that I know of. However, I do believe in time the person will come to grasp the Trinity as a proof of salvation.

There is no death prior to Adam, as that is clearly attested to in the scriptures.

There's too much speculation in all of the gap theory. I think you are making more of "created" and "made" than is there. God created everything we see, and do not see, from absolutely nothing, the Latin phrase ex nihilo. It was from creation He made everything. That is why those two words are...

And 78 years later...... :Whistling Tick....tick....tick....tick.....

I think they were referring to the fact that Israel would never again have the status they once had before God. But I could be wrong on that, but that is what I am thinking.

Everything is racist these days. Even asking a question is racist now! Sheesh!!!

A lady we go to church with was tragically killed in a vehicle accident this morning. We are crushed, as she was also in my Mother-in-law’s family, married to her first cousin. I’ve known her for close to 30 years as well, even before my wife I and started dating. Please lift the Justice family...

I'll give it a read and test it against the backdrop of scripture.

But something that wasn't taught until the 1700's, not any OT saint, NT saint, none of the ECF's, I find that teaching on very shaky ground.

However, this did gain traction until some time in the 1700's and that should have red flags all over it.

We need to have the scriptures be our guide, just like sailors of old used the stars to direct them whilst at seas. As I heard a guy say one time, "the safe harbor of scriptures", and I loved that and try to use that as my guide. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The...

What little research I have done, I have found that the Gap Theory wasn't taught by OT saints, NT saints, and it was some time around 1700-1800's that it has it origins. I found a Thomas Chalmers in 1814 popularized it, but I don't know if he originated the idea. Something coming onto the scene...
