It seems that the Modern Literal Version (MLV) is a New Testament translation originally started in 1987 (online beta 1998) and has been updated regularly. Early on it may have been also known as the Open Bible Project. It has become better known lately through a 2011 release for E-Sword, and a...

The KJV and some other versions state that Jesus went to "hell". Most modern versions have something else, like "grave" or "Hades". Acts 2:22-32 for context -- 22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God...

Thanks, annsni. Dan Wallace writes -- Altogether, we have at least 20,000 handwritten manuscripts in Greek, Latin, Syriac, Coptic and other ancient languages that help us to determine the wording of the original. Almost 6000 of these manuscripts are in Greek alone.

There are closer to 5,900 Greek manuscripts now (the exact number changes frequently). Mind you, these are just the MSS written in Greek (which would be of the NT). Here is the quote from the article -- But in the past 100 years or so, tens of thousands of manuscripts of the New Testament have...

I'm not entirely sure I understand you here. How would people know which copies were the reliable ones? In most cases the recipients would not normally be able to compare their copy with the exemplar (much less the original). Majority just means numerically more by some comparison. If you and...

Welcome to the BB, BlueMoon! Well, there is never a translation issue that has "no argument" from somebody. In fact, some TR-advocates assert that TR readings are older than those found in eclectic Greek editions. But older is not necessarily "more reliable". The common thinking is that...

God bless grandchildren! It may be preferable to use a children's picture book (not knowing their ages) than a Bible translation. Let's admit that even many adults aren't familiar with terms such as "swaddling cloths". I'm actually not in favor of any of those verse translations. I think that...

This is a translation from the Greek (Septuagint) by Gary F. Zeolla. He has even translated the apocryphal books. I like his Anylitical-Literal Translation of the New Testament (ALT-NT) which is based upon the Majority Text. Here is a sample from The Poetic Books (Vol. 3) -- PSALM 23 A...

Genesis 37 is often cited as a "classic example" for the establishment of the so-called Documentary Hypothesis or JEPD Theory. The alleged problem that supposedly arises in this verse being that the first "they" would grammatically refer to the Midianites, rather than the brothers, and thus it...

For those that might know: In what ways has KJVOism had a negative effect on mission efforts? Can you think of any positive effects that KJVOism has had towards missions?

There is a variant in this verse but it does not involve the issue that was raised in the OP. 1 Timothy 3:3 not given to drunkenness, (NIV) μὴ πάροινον (CT) not violent (NIV) μὴ πλήκτην (CT) but gentle, (NIV) ἀλλὰ ἐπιεικῆ (CT) not quarrelsome, (NIV) ἄμαχον (CT) not a lover...

Thanks for the reply. I don't wish to extend the discussion unnecessarily but wanted to respond to a couple things you wrote above. Even though God the Son did not know "that day and that hour" at that particular time, God the Father still did. Therefore, the knowledge was never removed or...

How could God know (or foreknow) about a person's choice before the person comes into existence? I am not limiting the person's existence to just being born physically in space/time. We do not require God to know about that which He has not yet conceived in His mind. God could not know about a...

Actually, I think you're jumping ahead a bit. I am trying to establish the meaning in these verses. After that we could try to define the terms. Is not this text attempting to state that all that are justified are glorified? That all that are predestined are called? That all that are called...

If people have the 'free' ability to choose, does God know what those choices are beforehand? Bear in mind that if your is "No, God doesn't know" then you are denying His omniscience (just as suggested by the OP). Conversely, if your answer is "Yes, God knows" then you hold a position that...

KJV Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he...

Inspector Javert, I am equally blessed to have your thoughtful response (but I still am hoping my conclusions are not mistaken). Allow me elaborate and let's see where it takes us. These are difficult concepts to express without getting extremely wordy and technical. They don't have to be. I...

To me, it means an undesignated individual or an unspecified person; it is singular in number. WHOSOEVER, pron. [who, so, and ever. ] Any one; any person whatever. Whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely. Revelations 22. -- Webster's 1828 Dictionary Notice Webster does NOT use...

It seems with the term "ALL" you have answered "Yes" to the OP question.
