Here are my comments on 1 Corinthians 1:1-2: Paul, called as an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of...

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...

Lets say a word as used in the NT Greek conveys one meaning. To use jargon, it would be said to be "monosemy" or having one meaning, rather than several related meanings. When a word is used to convey multiple meanings, a lexicon lists the various meanings or usages in the NT. When a...

1) To be more concordant means to more consistently translate the same word meaning. 2) The improvement suggested is not affected by various textual differences. The idea is to be more internally consistent in translation meanings. 3) The lack of punctuation has little or no impact, but...

So my first question is why are not the translations more concordant? Answer from the OP, they were written before we had computer sort and analysis technology.

Thanks and God bless. To repeat my actual question: So my first question is why are not the translations more concordant?

Do you hold that a troll should be able to derail discussion of the gospel? Do you even know which verses teach about being "established" in Christ?

Our scriptures were written about 2000 years or more ago, not 400 years ago. The KJV is NOT inspired. If you actually believe that nonsense, open you own thread. This one is about improving our English Translations.

Did you define "translating by concordance" or link to a definition? Nope Did I say we should "translate by concordance?" Nope Why not contribute rather than sabotage? In summary, I believe the translators of old, mistakenly have taken a shotgun to the text. And modern day translators...

This may be your view, but it is NOT biblical. 1) We have been born anew, "renewed" before we receive "His Spirit." 2) Yes, the Spirit with which we are indwelt is in the Person of the Holy Spirit, but also contains the Spirit of Christ and the Spirit of the Father. 3) Yes Jesus is the...

I see people implying Jesus had a human soul but not the human spirit that goes with it. That view is complete nonsense, IMHO. They are muddying the waters and NOT declaring Jesus did NOT have a "human spirit."

Anyone can present human conjecture, but what we are supposed to present is biblical evidence. If you look at your verse In all things, you will find it says "all" but does not say all of any specific thing, let alone all things. It is a mistranslation, expanding the contextual scope beyond...

Folks, I have posted dozens of times, i believe in Limited Spiritual Ability, NOT free will. This poster continues to misrepresent my view, just like a troll.

Our assurance for believing we are "of the faith" is provided by our individual assessment, do we believe because of subjective evidence, we are actually indwelt with the Holy Spirit. I believe I am. I count insights that come to me through prayerful study as evidence. I count my assessment I...

Mission failure

One of the things I like about our current Administration is they will try one approach to a problem, and if it does NOT work, they will adjust. They are going to cut back on PCS moves, and may revise the policy if problems arise.

No one can define the criteria God uses to decide whether or not to credit a lost sinner's faith as righteousness. We know some of the criteria as explicitly stated in scripture, but we do not know whether God ever chooses to waive those criteria. God alone decides who He will have mercy upon...

Duh, why ask?

You have no idea what you are posting. Logos was eternally the Son of God. You do not know that either.

LOL, I asked for the verse that says "Word of the Father" which is ignored, and then he copy and pastes non-germane verbiage that refutes his stated position that Jesus BECAME the Son of God at the incarnation. The issues are (1) what constitutes the "human nature" of Christ, and two, did...
