Thanks, the view presented may be correct. The LSV "...and My dwelling [is]] reflects a grammatical transformation, and therefore is errant. The Hebrew grammar indicates the action, dwelling, will occur in the future. That is why almost 100% of the English translation have "shall" or "will"...

2 Cor. 5:8 is non-germane as it refers to after the inauguration of the New Covenant.

Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. (NASB95) According to Hebrews 11:39 the Old Testament "saints" did NOT receive the "promise" but had to wait to be made perfect. I believe Psalm 23:6 presents the...

An alternate view of the passage, is the baby will not return to physical life, but David will physically die. This is the minimalist view, avoiding reading anything additional into the text. As far as deaths before the age of accountability, before God judges the person has having done...

Neither does anyone else. Scripture must be rewritten. There is no way around John 1:12. Similarly, the idea that "regeneration" occurs before a person has been transferred into Christ is another fictional rewrite. 1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be...

We till the ground, we plant the seed, we water, but God alone causes the increase: He alone calls out some from the realm of darkness into His marvelous light. So why till the ground, prepare the field, plant and water if it serves no purpose in harvesting the fields white for harvest? Do...

God decides who are the called out members of His family, we gather professing members of that body as members of our local assemblies. Some are tares, so we preach both to the lost and to the choir. I believe sometimes a "re-dedication" is actually an acknowledgement of salvation. All this...

1) As you probably know, there are two very different understandings: Jesus went to Abraham's bosom, a compartment of Hades, and Jesus came to earth. In the first view, Jesus gave the gift of perfection, allowing them to enter the third heaven. In the second view, Jesus gave the spiritual...

As fallen people, made sinners, thus conceived in a spiritually separated state we were "dead in sin." But just what are the consequences of being "made sinners?" Romans 5:19 We are separated from God, thus in the realm of darkness, in Adam. We were conceived in "unbelief," therefore we...

Pride is the vice that fosters all other vices. After all, if we did nothing wrong, we obviously do not need to repent. :)

1) he descended into hell; Eph_4:9 should read "He descended into the lower parts of the earth. Eph 4:9 2) and life everlasting. Joh_3:15 should read "and that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life." John 3:15 The idea is the Creed must agree with scripture, not the other...

Excellent post! Thank you Lets just take two line items. (1) "He descended into Hell" and (2) "life everlasting." 1) The verse cited says either He descended into the lower parts of the earth, perhaps Hades, or He descended into the lower regions, namely the earth. Rather than giving gifts...

Calling the question loaded, does not address the issue. What if the question was a loaded plate, filled with super-foods, truth, justice and the American way? It was not a trick got-yeah question, but a basic fundamental of representative government. Yes, the question exposed the Democrats...

The issue is not what God can do, but what He has chosen to do.

"Finally, the man who wants to do his duty as a citizen in our country must be imbued from beginning to end with the spirit of Americanism." TR The question we must ask ourselves is this: Is "Americanism" the Judaeo Christian culture, or the cotillion of Communists and islamists advocating...

What request did President Trump make during his SOTU speech? Stand if you agree with this statement:" "The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens." Globalists would reject the premise, believing their first duty is to protect mass...

In post #61 you addressed me. Nuff said. In post #62, we find John 3:32-34 posted out of order. Here is the same passage rendered in an interpretive translation. “What Jesus Christ has seen and heard, of this He testifies; and His unique and divinely given testimony has been given to no...

Here is an English version of the Apostles Creed: I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he...

I believe it is very appropriate to strive to present the Gospel of Christ accurately. Yes, it seems we can have wrong views of Christ and still be transferred into Christ by God. But at some point, some lacking in humility or some lacking in devotion and commitment, will result in the lost...

Scripture uses the words translated as prophet is two different ways. Today, if someone presents God's word, as found in scripture, accurately, he or she is acting as God's prophet. However, if what is presented is not found IN God's word, but has been read INTO God's word, they are NOT a...
