There are no visions, appearances of God, still spoken voices, miracles, signs or anything of the kind since the "Amen" of Revelation 22. The canon was closed and the church is commanded to believe the same things and that there is no divisions when our Lord comes. The authority from God to the...

Bless you, ky, for your discernment. This was actually ten days. You are agreeing with me without even knowing it. Read the book of Acts and you will find their preaching in Acts 2-7 is to Jerusalem and Judaea only. Then in chapter 8 the field is broadened to the Samaritans, who represent the...

Every human is not what the KJV says. It says "every creature. "The offices of apostle and prophet are offices related to a specific group of people, Israel, in the beginning of this age. It is a people whom God is concerned that "every one" has the gospel preached to them for more than one...

ky, I would rather think something was started at Pentecost, like the church, rather than something being fulfilled.

Maybe! Having two different renderings of a text causes the reader to have an opinion rather than a conviction of what is taught. It will affect whether one believes Col 1:23 fulfills Mark 16:15 some 30 years later. You say, (I think) in your scholarly opinion, it doesn't.

What do the scholars say?

I think God is honored when I and a couple others on this forum employs the K.I.S.S method of study. If I had to learn all that Greek and if I had to buy studies from these celebrity scholars and if I had to compare all these translations to arrive at my conclusions of what God has made simple...

It appears that two possibilities exist in relation to the KJV and the NASB. 1) The translators were not translating the same text and they were being honest with the texts they had. 2) The translators did not believe the text they were translating and practiced the art of dynamic equivalence...

What amazes me is that the Calvinist gospel, which differs fundamentally from mine and yours, is not governed by the commands of scriptures like this one; Rom 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and...

The epistle of Paul the apostle, to the Colossians, was one of 4 epistles that was written from Paul's imprisonment in Rome in AD 60. This was 30 years after the birth of the church of Jesus Christ in 30 AD. In case there are some who are unaware of God's use of numbers, thirty is his number for...

Gen 5:32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. I figure by the language of the scripture that these brothers were triplets, three births in one, so to speak. (the trinitarian signature of creation). If not, one can question why the change from the other...

There were many gentiles who were justified by their faith, beginning in the scripture record with Abel. Justification is only one (1) aspect of salvation. Salvation, as defined by the scriptures, is a New Testament doctrine. It is the renewal of the trinitarian image of God through the blood...

No gentiles were saved as the NT defines being saved before the episode between Peter and Cornelius and his house in Acts 10, which took place in 40 AD. I am following that definition in my posts. I am not sure all on this board will agree with the definition. In Acts 10 Cornelius, a Roman...

It is a problem for you, not me, and I have tried to explain to you how the scriptures, when you read them, have context. Yes! I stand by my statement. The gospel is the power (authority) of God unto salvation to every one who believes it. The saving gospel (good news, glad tidings) is not...

Whether you are a Calvinist or not, the error is the same. The word of God does not always refer to scripture. I could show examples , but later maybe. I believe Rom 10:17 has a historical and ethnic and doctrinal and prophetical context, none of which many commentators have considered. This...

Ben, this post is not intended to be unkind but to express my wonder and awe at the lack of reasoning and logic of those with the Calvinist mindset and the ignorance that is presented here every day. You are no more guilty than your colleagues of diminishing the scriptures by not rightly...

I am not sure how you missed the point and thought I was advocating for a KJV Bible in Japan, but, okay, I will take the blame for it but I assure you I do not think the Japanese needs an English Bible. I am not going to argue this point except to say the NT church had it's beginning in Acts 2...

I am not sure why you posted thusly with accusations that are not true. God surely moved away from the Hebrew and Greek and you bore testimony to the fact when you said in the same comments that you are translating some Hebrew into the language of Japan. Why did you not just send them a copy of...
