The LSV looks a like an armature job that is not as literal as it claims to be. The first verse I looked up was Romans 16:7 Greet Andronicus and Junias, my relatives, and my fellow-captives, who are of note among the apostles... The KJV and ESV correctly refers to Andronicus and Junias with...

Sorry, I can't go along with such anti-intellectual, contemptible nonsense. None of the soldiers said to each other "Let's draw lots because prophesy says we'll do it." Rather, they would have said something like, "Wow, those are some nice threads. I want them." In complete contradiction...

“Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 1) What was Jesus's answer to the one question of when will the Temple be destroyed? When? 2) Where did the disciples bring up the second coming (and, where do you see "second" in the...

Do you own research and get back to me when you can reply with more than a single word.

Faith doesn't require being right in the details, even the big details.

The rules of IFB churches are sometimes contrary to the Bible, or their importance inflated. Jesus undeniably drank (contrary to those who deny it), so there's no excuse to completely prohibit drinking. Other then the "gifts of the spirit", some small Pentecostal groups are essentially the...

What destruction revealed should I take literally, and why? Oh the joy of dismissing arguments that refute you by waving your hand with empty one-liners.

Futurists often point to Matthew 24:21 "For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be", arguing the tribulation around 70 AD is not the worst there has been. They believe their view of view of destruction in...

I'm calling Bull on your post. Most churches for the last few decades are so casual that they only person who would feel the need-to-leave the service for being under-dressed is the guy who shows up with no shirt and no shoes. In the past, everyone would expect that they would need to dress...

Yes, they did. The soldiers at the crucifixion wouldn't have gambled for Jesus' clothing if he were wearing the equivalent of jeans and a t-shirt. The OT has significant instructions on how people should dress, which would have been followed by the Jewish converts to Christianity. The NT...

It's not rich vs. poor. That dichotomy is a con taught be dishonest preachers and believed by what I identified as category #2 of the two groups of people who dress casually in church (they like to quote from 1 Timothy 2, but they have no understanding of what the passage means). If there's any...

Why do KJVO use such (snip)-poor arguments, while ignoring good arguments? Would you be happy if someone came out the NIV "Christ edition"? It would be the same NIV except with the word "Christ" inserted after every use of the name Jesus? Then you could talk complain that the KJV denies Jesus...

The financially comfortable guy that shows up dressed like a slob is just about every slob. They all arrive to church in new-ish SUVs. They wear expensive brand-name slob clothing, like Nike shoes and professionally ripped jeans. Dressing up is more about style than cost. You can get...

The free-fall of the American church continues: Church Engagement Down about Half Since 2000, Barna Group Reports If nothing else, it's a testament to the worthlessness of most churches today.

The Tribulation is Jesus' answer to the question his followers asked about the destruction of Herod's Temple. Was that Temple not destroyed?

I guess you never read about Noah's flood.

What's your definition of "Evangelical"? The Evangelical Lutheran Church, The ELCA, is liberal. Its members generally favor making criminals out of people for following biblical values.

There are two reasons people dress casually for church: 1) They're consumers, not Christians. They're at church for entertainment, deistic therapy, or because they're dragged there. They don't dress up because they lack the reverence of a follower of Christ. 2) They're stupid and don't...

Nice video. False teachers go relatively unchallenged on various passages on the Bible because true teachers don't concentrate on those passages. Consider eschatology. Jesus came in Judgement of Jerusalem in 70. True teachers don't focus on the "the great tribulation" because it happened...

Some Baptists can be very judgmental of the religious beliefs of others. These same people tend to be very hypocritical by refusing to acknowledge false teachings and nature of rabbinical Judaism. These same people are often stubbornly blind to the weaknesses of their own doctrine. I think...
