Well, it wouldn't be right for me, as a Brit, to comment. :)

But those words are not a prayer. None of the verses you quote even mention prayer.

Thanks - that makes it clearer. I apologise again for not understanding you first time.

Not sure what you are saying. Do you mean that you agree with easy believism? And what do you mean by "my Calvinist company"? Sorry not to be able to grasp what you mean.

I hope that is tongue in cheek, and that you are not seriously suggesting that 1 Thessalonians 4:16 refers to the current American president. :)

I'm glad you say "might have been." I can't think of any bible reference to John Mark's finances, or anything to suggest that he was the rich young ruler.

You say that some Jewish customs are harder to grasp than some archaic words. I disagree, particularly in regard to words which still exist today, but with a totally different meaning to the way they are used in the KJV. Just two examples. "Carriages" today are wheeled vehicles. Not in the...

I have never read or heard of a person who believes Calvinistic doctrine talk about "praying the sinner's prayer." The idea of "praying the sinner's prayer" seems to have originated with Charles Finney, who wasn't a Calvinist be any stretch of the imagination.

I don't know much about the teachings of Herbert W. Armstrong, but I certainly agree that there is no bible verse which mentions either the United States or Great Britain.

It would be logical, if God's word didn't tell us different. Ephesians 2, for example, which tells us that we were dead in trespasses and sins, but God made us alive. And Romans says something similar: “7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would...

I cannot remember how many times I and others have said that you are wrong when you say that those with Calvinistic beliefs imagine that they were so special that God picked them out before creation. I have never heard of anybody who believes that. The bible does talk about those who are saved...

Of course it can be true that: 1) sinners must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ in order to be saved, whilst at the same time, 2) God's enabling is required for a sinner to believe on the Saviour. Your last sentence, "But your religion says salvation is unconditional which is clearly an...

But those of us who believe Calvinist doctrines certainly believe Acts 16:31, so there is no need to "get past our errant (according to you) C?R view."

That seems very logical at first, but where did the person who shared the gospel with Bob get it from? Surely the bible. If what the person shares with Bob is not firmly based on the bible, then whatever it is, it is not the gospel. Whether the person reads the words of an actual bible to...

To avoid confusion, could you just confirm that you meant, "Typically KJVO blatther,"not "Typically NKJVO blatther?" I have never come across anybody who is New King James Version Only.

Agreed. Then there are the British English words like corn: At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. (Matthew 12:1) Americans' minds might immediately go to the corn that in the song was...

The problem with that is that there are several words in the KJV which, while still used today, now have a completely different meaning to what they had in 1611. Here are a few examples: "carriages" (in the KJV means "equipment," in current English refers to a passenger waggon on a railway...

Ah, now I understand. I thought the earlier post was saying something like, "If the Baptist Board considers Roman Catholicism to be a Christian denomination, then surely we all should." I obviously read the message to quickly and carelessly. Sorry!

I don't really understand why you posted this in answer to Cathode. He's a Roman Catholic, so I am sure he would not say that Roman Catholicism is not a Christian denomination. What point were you making?

I agree with most of that (I say "most" because I don't know anything about the new easy reader Bibles" you mentioned. I don't know which ones they are, as you didn't say, so I cannot know whether I agree with that part or not.)
