    Is Satan A Real Entity Who Can Influence English Language Translators and Subtlety Impact Their Translations

    You are saying, no, Satan has not influenced translators and subtly impact their translations for the reasons you give above. My question would then be, why would a perfectly omniscience and holy God see a need to have his words translated in the same language, over and over in the last days of...

    Is Satan A Real Entity Who Can Influence English Language Translators and Subtlety Impact Their Translations

    Whether one produced the other is an argument for later but the greater point for me is that about this time a transition in Christian thought and practice was being made that resulted in two extremes that greatly compromised the church of Jesus Christ and weakened it. It was intellectualism on...

    Is Satan A Real Entity Who Can Influence English Language Translators and Subtlety Impact Their Translations

    I quoted a couple of verses in my last post concerning the activities of Satan. It is interesting to me that those whom John was referencing of going out from them were likely those who insisting on keeping certain segments of the law of Moses to be saved. This precipitated the Jerusalem counsel...

    Is Satan A Real Entity Who Can Influence English Language Translators and Subtlety Impact Their Translations

    At some point down the road I might test that theory on one or two of your posts and see how it works with you. Maybe adjust a few of your words to suit myself and present it with my own edits. I can already imagine a strong protest from you with, THAT IS NOT WHAT I SAID. You would be right to...

    Is Satan A Real Entity Who Can Influence English Language Translators and Subtlety Impact Their Translations

    Jesus said one can know a tree by the fruit it bears. Since 1901, has the modern church in the West been more or less unified by the practice of printing new and improved Bibles? Do we have more denominations or less? The reason given for these Bibles is for the sake of unity in understanding...

    Is Satan A Real Entity Who Can Influence English Language Translators and Subtlety Impact Their Translations

    Good story. It was the Lord who warned me about the devil. 2Cor 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

    Is Satan A Real Entity Who Can Influence English Language Translators and Subtlety Impact Their Translations

    Thank you David for responding. I did not expect any feed back on this topic because not many seems to know much about this guy. He is only quoted three times in scriptures, a total of less than 150 words I am told. He operates in the shadows. How do you think he attacks the Bible translators?

    Is Satan A Real Entity Who Can Influence English Language Translators and Subtlety Impact Their Translations

    This person, if he is real, needs to be discussed in the context of Bible translations and dynamic equivalences and paraphrases, because if he is real, he has skin in the game. I recall a passage in Matthew 4 that he (mis)quoted Psa 91:11 to Jesus Christ as he tempted him to act independently...

    The Doctrines of Grace, as Seen in the Old Testament.

    @Alan Dale Gross Thank you for your help in your posts in proving that no doctrine called the doctrines of grace exists in the holy scriptures. Two other of Calvinism's catch phrases do not exist, either in word or application. They are 1) sovereign grace, and 2), irresistible grace. They are...

    The Doctrines of Grace, as Seen in the Old Testament.

    God's attribute of grace, if it is a part of his Divine character, is not diminished because of his other Divine attributes. What was grace in your examples for the justified were examples of his justice for others, not for what they thought but for what they did. Neither grace nor justice were...

    If The Trinitarian Bible Society Did a revised Kjv Would KJVO accept it?

    I am told that more than a million Jews and proselytes from 17 different nations showed up in Jerusalem for the festival of the feast of weeks in the year of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The only figures I have of how many of them believed the gospel and were saved is given in the...

    The Doctrines of Grace, as Seen in the Old Testament.

    No, that is not what I said. There is no doctrines, plural, of grace, in either testament. There is a doctrine of grace and it is an attribute of God. He exercises his grace as a matter of his person so therefore we can see his acts of grace in both testaments. In a perfect world we would not be...

    The Doctrines of Grace, as Seen in the Old Testament.

    Ge 4:7 If thou doest well <03190>, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well <03190>, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. Jehovah is speaking to Cain in his presence and giving him a clear choice of action with the consequences...

    The Doctrines of Grace, as Seen in the Old Testament.

    @Alan Dale Gross #1 - There is no Bible teaching called the doctrines of grace in either Testament. It is a made up system of theology. #2 - God in his sovereignty has chosen his providence to deal with fallen humanity in time. This gives him the platform to demonstrate his Divine attributes...

    Is Eternal Security of the Believer an Essential Doctrine?

    Do you understand the words, the new birth? Have you ever heard of any one or any thing that has been born that has become unborn? Logic and reason as a foundation will insure you do not go miles off the path as you proceed.

    John R. Rice and the KJV

    Grace, as it is presented to us in the scriptures, especially after the cross of Christ and his resurrection, can be seen with the human eye. Dispensational approach to the scriptures is a godly method to open our eyes so we may see.

    Is it okay to use the NKJV?

    Do you have any concerns that no cross references exist with the NKJV's "circled round" in Acts 28:13?

    Seems like a wise choice to me.
