Why did the animal have to die in the garden to cover Adam and Eve? It was innocent. Why did God require the shedding of blood? Christ became sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. The wages is sin is death, Jesus paid the wage owed to us. I...

This is really not fair. We are discussing one aspect of the qualifications for being a Pastor and Deacon. Just because Bill Clinton happens to still be married to one wife doesn’t mean anything. After all he certainly is not blameless, being a Democrat and supporting abortion, as well as his...

“The problem with this argument is that it does not sufficiently account for many other facts. First, in the levirate situation, the purpose of sex was specifically to raise up a child to one's brother. In fact, Genesis 38 does not even say that Tamar was Onan's wife, but only that Onan was to...

Wow. Your interpretation of Gods word is very subjective and you definitely read into it ideas that it doesn’t present. Onan was killed for disobeying his father in relation to refusing to raise up seed for his deceased brother. It has nothing to do with contraception or masterbation. Genesis...

"What does it mean that Jesus fulfilled the Law? It means that every law pointed to him, and he completed everything they pointed to. Thinking of Jesus as the fulfillment of the Law helps us see why we keep some of the OT commands and “ignore” others... For OT Israel, all three types of laws...

Who was the Torah a covenant between?

You just barely beat me to this point. Thank you for affirming my point though that not all of the Torah cannot even possibly kept today, This proves the point that God never intended for every part of the Torah to be kept by all people throughout all time.

Nope, certain parts of the Torah were definitely for Israel and not for the Gentiles, For example the Priesthood and Sacrificial system of the OT was done away with after Christ died on the cross, was buried and rose again. The Sabbath day and holy feasts and day were done away with two, see the...

So do you owe debts on any vehicles or have a mortgage on a house? and do you use any credit cards? BTW, in that passage God was talking to Jews in the land of Israel, and actually, they were allowed to charge interest to Gentiles just not Jews. Israel does not exist under that Theocratical...

The Bible does not anywhere say what kind or how much formal education a missionary must have. Why even try to make a legal law out of something the bible does not describe? And just for note, I am not against formal education, I am a missionary and I have a Bachelors in Pastoral Theology, am...

I think this is a good route to go.

Yes I have seen the Definitions of KJV Only thread before. I guess I was looking at seeing how individuals here view KJVO. It seems to me that most of the attacks toward KJVO is almost always directed at position #4 and #5.

I am seeking for clarity from those are consider themselves KJV, and who not: What is your understanding the KJVO position, can you define what you think it is, and what reasons do KJVO have that causes them to hold to the position. I am seeking to understand what people's understanding of...

Your welcome. Glad I could be of assistance.

Isaiah 45:6-7 is an incredible passage when in the lights of these facts, I will give you the facts first and then I will repost the verses. This passage was written about 70 years before Zoroastrianism's prophet "Zoroaster". Cyrus who is mentioned in vs 1, was a King that was born 100 years...

I don't quite understand your question.

Sorry this should have said translations which use wives.

But you didn't even acknowledge the other translations which use women. I see that you didn't even respond to the contextual and grammatical arguments.

"Note that 1 Timothy 3:8-13 moves from the qualifications of overseers (1 Tim. 3:1-7) to the qualifications of deacons. It does so in these words: “Deacons likewise must be men of dignity” (1 Tim. 3:8, NASB 1995). The Greek word translated “Deacons” is Διακόνους (Diakonous). It is a masculine...
