    "Enabling" a Cult?

    So then what exactly would you advise me to tell this local Evangelical church to do since their budget cannot afford to maintain her old and unused campus facility along with her new and occupied campus?

    "Enabling" a Cult?

    Here's the situation: A good local Bible-believing Evangelical church has been blessed by God to increase in both size of her membership AND the physical size of her campus. This local church entered into negotiations with several commercal real estate agencies and have finally decided to accept...

    Apostles, prophets and manifestations of the Holy Spirit

    The point that I was trying to make was not one of "Adding To" God's Final Revelations as it was to merely rename some nations in their more modern names, EX: "Iran" instead of "Persia." Period. If I gave you the impression that I was attempting to somehow "Add To" what the "NT 'Prophets'"...

    Vague Translations, Poor Translations and Mistranslations

    So then you are saying that "Hades" NOT "Gehenna" IS the "Temporary Holding Cell." Perhaps you may be correct in this, BUT, OTOH, (IMHO anyway) that's merely a location wherein I called it "Gehenna" and whereas you call it "Hades." The important fact is this: Whether one calls that location...

    Vague Translations, Poor Translations and Mistranslations

    It's been my understanding that "Gehenna" is sort of like a "Holding Place" for lost people until Christ's Second Coming (Rapture), that "Tartaroo" is the final location for these souls after they are permanently condemned by Christ at the "Great White Throne Judgment." IOW, both of them are...

    Vague Translations, Poor Translations and Mistranslations

    No, I haven't seen these "5 Different Locations or Concepts." Could you please give me the specific Bible passages where these exist?

    Apostles, prophets and manifestations of the Holy Spirit

    I would not say that "Modern-Day Apostles" are any more gifted than our original Apostles were in the sense that they alter God's Word to mean something completely different than that of the original Apostles intended. IMHO, "Modern-Day Apostles" are merely those who would make terms that...

    Vague Translations, Poor Translations and Mistranslations

    You are 100% correct about individual translators' tendency to impose their own ideas when translating from the originals to whatever newer version of God's Word they are attempting at the time. This is why I tend to discount a so-called "Newer Version" of the Bible if that version is the work...

    Apostles, prophets and manifestations of the Holy Spirit

    I would say, "Yes, there are "Modern Day Apostles." These would men that will repeat what the "Original NT Apostles" did. IOW, while the content of "The Original 12 NT Apostles" might vary in some instances (EX: Changing to Modern Time the designation "Iran" whereas the "Original NT Apostles"...

    Apostles, prophets and manifestations of the Holy Spirit

    If I understand you correctly, is what you are saying, that "Apostles" such as Paul are NOT to be considered at all when tallying up to the number 12 as "True Apostles" (EX: Peter, James, or John)? If I'm interpreting your position as such, then you seem to be going against what must Biblical...

    Apostles, prophets and manifestations of the Holy Spirit

    Help me to understand your position on the Book of Revelation. Are you saying that the Book of Revelation is NOT part of the Bible? If the Book of Revelation IS, in fact, part of the Bible, then, IMHO at least, what it states about the Foundation of the City of "New Jerusalem" does NOT have 12...

    Mennonite beliefs

    I grew up in what was then (1950s-1960s) known as a "New Mennonite Church" in PA. From what I've read in Mennonite History books, soon after our Civil War (1860s) ended there arose a split within the Mennonite ranks due primarily over the use of buttons on a man's coat. Since a basic tenet of...

    KJV's Textual Error

    The only "Authorizing" that the 1611 KJV ever really had was when King James VI of Scotland became King James I of England (1601), and he only "Authorized" it simply because he wanted an English language Bible that only had marginal notes explaining what the particular passage meant. King James...

    Slavery and Civil war.

    If I correctly understand your viewpoint, you seem to be telling me that it is entirely up to humans to decide their eternal destiny. God Himself places two alternatives before us humans, but ultimately it is left entirely up to each person to decide which alternative he/she will choose. Please...

    Should Christian Schools teach the theory of Evolution?

    The problem I see is that, while "Officially" paganism isn't supposed to be taught in our public schools, in "Reality" paganism IS taught in our public schools! Although it's not "Officially" a class such as "Paganism 101," yet it is taught by the majority of so-called "Teachers" who've been the...

    KJV's Textual Error

    Before I post, I want to say this: If you admire & love the KJV, so be it....BUT if you don't think the KJV is a "Perfect English Translation," then you too need to "Go for your more modern translation(s)"! IMHO, ALL Translations in ANY Language is only an attempt by (Hopefully) Holy-Spirit-Led...

    Slavery and Civil war.

    May be so. BUT OTOH people have also asked that since God is ultimately in control of all of man's actions, be they "good" or "bad," why would He allow a nation to come into being that not only condoned the institution of slavery, but permitted slavery to prosper? (NOTE: These aren't my own...

    Slavery and Civil war.

    rlvaughn, IMHO, you are correct to a point. Back in the 1780s, the Constitutional Convention DID recognize slavery as an integral aspect of the Southern agrarian economy, in fact, (To some extent at least) that is why the members of the Constitutional Convention (Both the North & South) came up...
