Your questions were off topic twaddle. The meaning of an underlying text is not changed by a mangled translation such as "had been good" but our understanding of the verse has been hindered. Advocating adherence to the Greek or Hebrew grammar is not "disliking modern grammar" whatever that...

The heritage of assimilation is an interesting topic. On one side we have folks who do not want other folks to assimilate, with equal rights, and on the other we have folks who do not want to assimilate. Did Mr. Lincoln want to force freed slaves to go to Liberia, or is that just another...

Martin Luther King Jr was pro-Christian, Malcolm X was anti-Christian.

Sir, I have no interest in continuing this discussion.

One of the common fallacies of bible study is to nullify a verse, saying it does not mean what it appears to say, because of some attribute of God would prohibit that meaning. For example, God is love, therefore God would not destroy body and soul in Gehenna. The one front and center in this...

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. [A. Lincoln] Many names have been used to identify the war fought in the 1860s. I think civil war is an objective name, but "Slaveholder's Rebellion" seems a...

Apology accepted.

If God is not the author of sin, then Open theism is true.

If we look at Jeremiah 7:31, and 19:5 and 32:35 we see that God had not considered an evil command. Thus His knowledge of the future actions of sinners was not perfect, or the thought would have been triggered.

God makes conditional covenants, He says if you do this, I will do that, but if you repent, I will relent. All these conditionals do NOT indicate God has changed if mind, only that He keeps His word.

Let us back up to this doctrinal statement defining "all knowing" as having perfect knowledge of all things. This is false doctrine. Jesus did not know of the time of His return, and Jesus is God Almighty. God says He can forgive sins and "remember them no more forever." Thus He claims...

Did I say I thouht I was Christ, or did you imply I thought I was Christ? . Anyone who thinks the NASB, NKJV, NET, ESV, LEB and WEB are all wrong in their translation of Matthew 26:24 and the KJV is right has another think coming.

With malice toward none, we are to stand firm against those attacking Christ, for they know not what they do. "... it had been good for that man" does not match the tense of "if he had not been born." Thus the NKJV, "... it would have been good for that man if he had not been born." "it had...

Obviously I disagree with your viewpoint. We are to study to show ourselves approved, accurately handling the word of truth. We are not to accept the translation by others as necessarily valid, no matter how old or well accepted. To claim any view other than your own is fractious, is like...

Yes, many on the Southern side refer to the war as "between the states." In searching one of my family names, I too, found a spelling change, before the war with two names, they spelled it with an "e" but afterward, they spelled it without the "e." I am sure you have heard the phrase "Damn...

Since individual church doctrines differ, even within a denomination, I would attend one where the members govern, rather than a hierarchy. I would seek to find a church committed to bible study and application.

I think it is useful to consider the cultural influence our parents, grandparents and even our great grandparents had upon our understanding of God and His world. My mother was born in Colorado, my father in Kansas. My DNA says I am mostly western European, and my history points to Netherlands...

Even if we used the same primary study bible, we could understand its message differently. Here are two translations of Matthew 26:24: 1) The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been...

Yet another personal insult, with nary a note concerning the topic. In Summary: Psalm 7:11 reveals a dual aspect of God's character: He is a righteous judge who is angry at wickedness daily, yet He is also patient and merciful, not unleashing His full wrath constantly, allowing for repentance...

I can only hope your are willing to stop with all your false claims and diversionary tactics to derail discussion of scripture. Interpretive Translation of 2 Thessalonians 2:13. We should give thanks to God for you as our siblings in Christ! Because God has chosen you,from the beginning of the...
