I see that someone wants to hinder discuss of ways to improve our English translations. Like the brood of vipers that were not going to enter heaven, and prevented others from going in, these posters want to avoid discussion of ways to improve our translations. See Matthew 23:13 A lack of...

A lack of concordance is evident in all modern English translations because they reflect to often the inconsistent word choices of the pre-computer age. Most Greek words of the NT are translated into far too many English words. "Rhema," a Greek word that appears about 70 times in the NT, is...

1) I did not address whatever you describe as the "original post." 2) Christ's bodily resurrection made obvious or acknowledged that Jesus was indeed the Son of God. 3) Christ's resurrection did NOT assign Him the title of "Son of God.

Wrong. The original post clearly stated in the first sentence that Jesus was always the Son of God. The post asked how we should understand Romans 1:3,4. QUOTE FROM ORIGINAL POST “concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God...

A lack of concordance is evident in all modern translations because they reflect the word choices of the pre-computer age predecessors. My position is that most Greek words are translated into far too many English words unnecessarily. Rhema, a Greek word that appears about 70 times in the NT...

He never became anything.

John said the Word was with God, a separate individual that created the universe and made the Father known to man. What He was before He was manifest in the flesh I don't know. It's one of the mysteries of the Trinity.

. Luke 2:11, For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Isaiah 9:6, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The...

Luke 1:35 35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.

I think Jesus was always eternally the Son of God, the Logos, the Word of God. Christian orthodoxy maintains that Jesus is the first born of all creation, meaning the foremost, not first thing created in a time series. It has also declared Jesus to be eternally begotten of God the Father. Thus...

Cool beans. Agreed Correct. Context determines meaning. And my point is, given that Jesus Himself spoke so often of Christians suffering persecution, how could the metaphor of the bride be “destroyed and meaningless” when Christians go through the great tribulation? These are judgements upon...

Sorry, I meant Matt. 23:31. That clearly does not refer to Christians. Of course it does. But what is the relevance? The Thessalonians were experiencing persecution right then, not during the tribulation. Of course not. My point was in how to do exegesis. If a word is polysemous (having more...

You are correct in that the Kingdom was taken from Israel when the religious leaders rejected and crucified Christ. You are correct that the Kingdom was given to the Church/Gentiles to carry Christ to the world. Where you are wrong is that Israel has not been cast away, as Paul said. They...

Jn 15:15 You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you... The beginnings of the body of Christ at Jerusalem, the choosing of the true Israel of God. I will set them in their own land is expained in Matthew 13 in the parable of the good ground. Strangers being joined is no more than gentiles...

Even a superficial reading of scripture will provide a list of no-no's. Attributes of our Old Self can be found in Galatians 5:19-21. But the vice that fosters all of them is not listed. But another list, from Mark 7:21-23 does include vice that put us against God, the Anti-God vice. The...

"In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins." – Colossians 1:14 Of all spiritual blessings made known to the soul by the power of God, a "..knowledge of salvation," "by the remission of sins," (Luke 1:77), is the hardest to be obtained, and most prized when...

Has anyone even looked at how the phrase "from the beginning" is used in scripture. Look at these examples where the phrase refers to a whole time period subsequent to an event. 2 Samuel 21:10, Ecc. 3:11, Isa. 46:10, Mat. 19:8, Luke 1:2, John 6:64, John 8:25, Acts 26:4, 2 Thess 2:13, 1 John...

We find the phrase "in the Spirit" or "in the spirit" about 19 times sprinkled throughout the New Testament in the NASB. Ever consider just what is or what concepts are being taught by this phrase? Certainly if we are acting in the will of God, such as presenting accurately His intended...

Having read “misquoting Jesus “ and other studies of the Bible it is the intent that counts. But if as some not all say that soul joins body at conception then the most souls are pre birth. Infant mortality and still birth and miscarriage were until recently the most outcome . This these souls...

This is an offensive statement. I hope I misunderstood you. Your “little blobs,” are the work of God. Job 31:15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb? Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out...
