You seem, to be a dupe of the godless left. Who do you think charges their opponents with whatever malfeasance they are committing. They do not care about TSA workers, so you proclaim the Republicans do not care about the TSA workers. Go figure. They are willing to hold workers hostage to...

I briefly talked to a candidate who actually came to my front door. He was a Republican, and I live in California, so he was not elected. Maybe if we had voter ID he would have won. Who knows.

Once again a Calvinist misrepresents my actions. These are troll posts driven by malice. Did I say who adds the clarifications? Yes, the translators either by inserting italics in the translation or by footnoting the clarification. And the big Lie, it is only Van who puts his understanding...

He is risen indeed!

In addition to improving our modern translations by avoiding translating the same Greek word or phrase meaning using unnecessarily more than one English word or phrase, the modern translations should avoid using the same English word or phrase, for different Greek words or phrases, using...

And I never said you did say either party was evil. I said the Democrat party was evil, and therefore the parties are NOT the same. The Democrat party is indeed focused on obtaining and maintaining power by any means necessary. This is NOT true of the Republican party, they take risks such as...

1:1 Paul, called as an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, [NASB] My commentary: 1) Only Paul was "called" (invited to be) an apostle. This refers to the Damascus Road Encounter. 2) Yes, part of the requirements of being an Apostle of Christ is to be an...

Your claim of fact is fiction, the Democrats are the party of evil. Child mutilation, child abortion, fictitious child care, fictitious hospice care, no ID voters, and I could go on and on.

Dating of the Synoptic Gospels: Assuming Markan Priority, then Matthew and Luke used the gospel of Mark as a source. 1) Mark was written in the 50's or early 60's. 2) Matthew was written in the late 50"s or the 60's. 3) Luke was written between 59 and 63. Assuming Matthew and Luke did...

But when the one who set me apart from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace was pleased to reveal His Son to me so that I could preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not go to ask advice from any human being, Paul writes: "But when the one who set me apart from my mother's womb," at...

The current Senate leader chose NOT to impose the "real filibuster" allowing minority rule without any difficulty. RINO anyone?

Our federal Senate has a rule that says certain types of legislation may have "unlimited debate" unless cloture is invoked by 60 votes. This was a well intended rule to promote bi-partisan support for legislation. However, over time Political Parties have established power over the members such...

Are you saying a person cannot suggest ways to improve our English translations without "knowing Greek grammar" and well as knowing "textual criticism?" If something is confusing, but when the meanings of the underlying original language word is considered, a better choice becomes apparent...

What is wrong, someone might ask, with translating different Greek words sharing somewhat similar but not the same meaning, with the same English word. For example "agapao" (G25) refers to love, and "phileo" (G5368) refers to love, but to different kinds of love. and so the distinction is lost...

Is it possible if we believe in false doctrine, we might actually advocate false teachers?
