    Individual Election

    There are some that would make a distinction to the adjective "all." Some would add to this phrase to that "all" doesn't necessarily mean "all without exception," but rather "all without DISTINCTION." IOW, they would insert this phrase where the Bible talks about the extent of Christ's...

    Individual Election

    This probably won't resolve this issue to anyone's liking, but here's some lines supposedly taken from an old poem or hymn I heard years ago: "'It's not that I did choose Thee, for Lord, that cannot be. This heart would still refuse Thee had Thou not chosen me. Thou from the sin that stained me...

    KJVO vs any other translation(s).

    The primary concern of the Bishops in early 17th Century "Church" of England was that they wanted to retain as much power over the laity (common folk) as they deemed they should. This power-hungry grab over the common folk is as old as the organized Christianity in the First Century AD. In...

    Maranatha Baptist Bible College

    The local church that Pastor Auckland founded in the early 1960s is still in existence this day. Over the years it has, of course, undergone some rather dramatic changes. It no longer meets in the Sellersville PA fire hall. Today its campus is probably THE largest one of all in of the Pennridge...

    Another book on this subject is In The Beginning: The Story of the King James Bible & How It Changed a nation, a Language, and a Culture by Alister E. McGrath (2001 Doubleday (A division of Random House, Inc, New York, NY 10036). This 310 page book also includes "A Comparison of Historic...

    Here are some books that I found to be helpful in this 1611 KJVO issue: "How we got the Bible," by Neil R. Lightfoot (2003; Baker Books, Grand Rapids, MI 49516-6287); "God's Secretaries: The Making of the King James Bible," (2003, HarperCollins books, New York, NY 10022); "God's Secretaries...

    Here are some relatively new works that, IMHO, might help us understand this 1611 KJV0 vs Modern English translations: How we got the Bible, Third Edition: Revised & Expanded. (2003

    Maranatha Baptist Bible College

    Quite possibly Dr David C. Auckland was indeed did move to an adjunct professorship at MBBC. Prior to his move to MBBC, he was the Founding Pastor of the Faith Baptist Church in Sellersville PA. I, as a very young babe in Christ (3 YO to be exact) had the privilege of having him as my pastor...

    These are some of the books I recommend for studying this 1611 KJVO issue: God's Secretaries: The Making of the King James Bible by Adam Nicolson. (2003: New York NY 10022. HarperCollins Publishers), How We Got the Bible, 3rd Edition, Expanded and Revised. by Neil R. Lightfoot (2003: Grand...

    KJVO vs any other translation(s).

    The 1611 KJV WAS "authorized" by King James (hence its title) VI of Scotland who was declared to be King James I of England after Tudor Queen Elizabeth I of England died in without any clear successor to the throne of England. And even then there was much controversy about Parliament's choice...

    KJVO vs any other translation(s).

    I suppose this would books in which there may be some (many?) kinds of interpretations. OTOH, what Bible books don't have any or all kinds of interpretations? (Beats me since from Genesis through to Revelation I've seen LOTS of interpretations, ranging from ridiculous to serious, (& usually...

    I think that what Wikipedia means is that someone with at least a Middle School (usually that would mean up to Grade 8 or 9) should be able to comprehend this version. OTOH, like you posted Wikipedia doesn't indicate from where it secured this info. Usually I've found that Wikipedia is a fairly...

    Does authorized by a king mean authorized by God?

    Still at each other's throats I see. Here's an illustration that, IMHO anyway, of my own siblings that seems to apply to this issue: I was the youngest of 4 siblings in my family (2 older sisters & 1 older brother.) Each one of them faced, shall we say, "challenges," as each of them grew into...

    Individual Election

    A pastor gave me this interpretation of the "Free Will vs Election" issue: We humans look at it as "Whosoever Will May Come....and so whosoever wills Does come" ..... "God looks at it as: Predestined by His divine will." He compared it to fabulously wealthy man dangling a coin in front of a poor...
