Well loDebar, I asked you many questions and you only addressed one, so I guess you don't wish to continue the conversation.

Incomplete. Other requirements for salvation also include that one must be foreknown, predestined, and called by the the persons of the Godhead (Romans 8). Faith is a GIFT from God. It is not a sin to not be able to conjure up saving faith from within yourself. God must grant that faith to you...

I hope we can communicate and advance the discussion.

If I am wrong, I would like to understand how I am wrong (so I can correct myself). However, most of your post is so poorly written that I cannot understand what you were trying to communicate. Skewed? Toward or away from what exactly? That is true; an authoritative entity (such as a governor)...

Thank you for responding.

Your definitions are incomplete and unspecific. For example, you would likely not call NOT getting paid for work you performed (money you deserved) "mercy"; and you probably would not label GETTING undeserved punishment (for a crime you did not commit) "grace". We just normally think of GETTING...

You would be in a minority position. Most conservative scholars would put James about 45AD and Matthew around 50AD. Indeed. That does not mean that James borrowed from Matthew. Instead, they could have had a common source.

In the Book of James in Chapter One he refers to "the word" several times (as in "be ye doers of the word", etc.). Since the NT was not yet written (James may have been the very first epistle) or compiled, "the word" cannot refer to the modern Bible as we know it. By "the word" does he mean...

Here is an example of a repeated phrase from the Book of Amos Chapter 4 (KJV) -- 6 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. 8 So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to...

Not only do phrases, verses, and entire chapters get duplicated in Scripture there are also instances of words being repeated in immediate succession. I gave Holy, Holy, Holy (Isaiah 6:3 & Revelation 4:8) as an example in my previous thread. Now I share these triplicates from the Book of...

Here is what one Victor Hafichuk has stated in part about the duplications found in the Scripture (from The Path of Truth website) -- "Any sin confounds, and idolatry makes fools of men. There are those who claim to love the Lord, but love the Bible instead, which testifies of the Lord. The...

My previous thread (with similar title) displays many examples of duplications of text across the Scriptures. However, it has be deactivated from additions (of which there are still many). These duplications of words, phrases, and entire chapters can be enlightening to the comparison and study...

No particular passage. I plan to get it. Please report back your findings. Thanks

This has been out about a year. It was mentioned here on the BB in passing by Jerome back in January. Has anyone bought it or read in it? From website-- BroadStreet Publishing is the publisher of The Passion Translation. It represents their passion for creating meaningful, inspirational products...

Nearly identical wording in English (but exactly the same in Hebrew?) of 1 Chronicles 16:24 & Psalm 96:3 (KJV)-- 24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations. 3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. From Darby -- 24 Declare his...

Repeated phrase in Pauline letters (KJV) -- 2 Corinthians 7:15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him. Ephesians 6:5 Servants, be obedient to them that are [your] masters according to the...

Repeating phrase in Psalm 29:3-9 (KJV)-- 3 The voice of the LORD [is] upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD [is] upon many waters. 4 The voice of the LORD [is] powerful; the voice of the LORD [is] full of majesty. 5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD...

Psalm 59:6 & 59:14 are nearly identical (KJV)-- 6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. 14 And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

Notice the similarity among three different writers (KJV) -- Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; Nehemiah 1:5 And said, I beseech...

Psalm 12:1-8 [KJV] To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. 1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. 2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: [with] flattering lips [and] with a double heart do they speak. 3 The...
