I wonder if folk will help me with reference to Donald Trump. There is a lady from Boston way with whom I occasionally exchange emails. She is very angry with Trump to the extent that she no longer goes to church because she believes that all evangelicals support Trump. This is her last email...

Martin Luther once said that it is not a man's fault if a bird should land upon his head, but it is his fault if he allows it to build a nest there!

Joshua 24:2-3. 'Thus says the LORD God of Israel: "Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of the River in old times; and they served other gods. Then I took your father Abraham from the other side of the River, led him through all...

There are only so many times I can show you the same thing. I leave you to your ignorance.

:rolleyes:Read post #52 again. It is all explained to you. You do not know what you are talking about.

Scripture is not a wax nose to be punched into whatever shape you want. Whether Greek or Hebrew, there are grammatical rules that have to be followed Leaving aside the mangling of the text in the O.P., I think it may be helpful to ask ourselves, who comprise the 'lost house of Israel.'? John...

Read my last post again. I admit it is a little complicated. I would reckon that you would need the understanding of an eight year-old to comprehend it fully, but please make the effort.

Do you ever read my posts? One last try. Ei me means literally 'if not.' "I was not sent if not to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." And some translations change 'if not' into 'except' which makes better English. Ei me NEVER means 'only.' What many translations do is to remove the...

Unbelievable! Now we have @Van saying that the Lord Jesus did not express Himself in the way that Van wants Him so so Van will take it upon himself to improve His words at the expense of the Greek language.

Like @canadyjd, I am very interested to discover all the translations which contain Interpretation 3. Can it really be that you are setting forth your own misunderstanding of basic Koine Greek alongside reputable translations like the KJV, NKJV, ESV, NASB etc.? Interpretation 3 is the exact...

This is indeed a perfectly acceptable translation, but you yourself have claimed that ek has the meaning of 'out of.' You also ignore the fact that these people are purchased [Gk. agorazo] 'for God' with the blood of Christ (NASB etc.). You appear to believe that Christ has purchased every...

One of us is totally confused, but I think you'll find it's you. You are right about the foundational nature on Genesis 11-12, and that foundation is that God will bring blessing to all nations through the Seed of Abraham to those who will have the faith of Abraham. The Caananite woman is...

Amen!

As I have taken pains to explain to you, this is the exact opposite of what Matthew 15:24 says. I am sure you don't try to deceive people deliberately, but before God I tell you that if anyone believes your posts, they are being deceived.

See Matthew 12:24 (ESV, Oh boy! Matthew 12:24, ESV. '"It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons that this man casts out demons."' Matthew 12:24, NASB. '" This man casts out demons only by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons."' Matthew 12;24. NKJV. '"This fellow does not cast out demons...

The woman proved by her faith that she was no dog but a child of Abraham (Galatians 3:7 again). Your error is so glaring that no one has troubled to correct you. In Matthew 15:24, the Greek words ei me mean literally 'if not,' and the KJV translation is accurate though somewhat archaic. "I...

According to the UBS (4th Edition Revised) Greek New Testament, which follows the Critical Text, ek is in every Greek MS without exception. There are other places in Revelation 5:9 where TR differs from CT, but not in the matter of ek, which means literally 'out of.' Perhaps others have the...

Leaving aside the mangling of the text in the O.P., I think it may be helpful to ask ourselves, who comprise the 'lost house of Israel.'? John 1:47. "Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit." John 10:26. "But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you." Romans...

I have recently been preaching on Psalm 119, and a book I was reading by way of study on the subject contains a really excellent summary of the Christians attitude to the Commandments. Here it is:- Evangelical Obedience to the Commandments – an excerpt from ‘Bible Delight’ by Christopher Ash...

We keep God's law not in order to be saved, but because we are saved and it is our delight to keep, as best we can, His righteous commandments (Psalms 1:2; Psalms 119 passim). God's moral law preceded the giving of the law on Sinai and is written on the hearts of all believers (2 Corinthians...
