    The 82nd Airborne is being deployed to the Middle East

    Salty, what do you think the purpose of ground troops will be? I’m thinking their goal will primarily be to enable the Iranian people to form a new government, protecting them from the IRGC.

    Why do Christians sin?

    I think a common danger is for us to be complacent about how allegedly free from sin we are. How often do we examine ourselves regarding sin? Do we just live our lives inattentively, having fun, accomplishing tasks, assuming we are pretty good Christians? Do we ever pause and take inventory...

    Gender-neutral Versions

    I have attended an independent Bible church recently. They use the ESV as the pew Bible. But they made the mistake of buying ESVs with small print, so the older people have trouble reading them. Be sure to get, not giant print, but print large enough that everyone can read them comfortably.

    Robert A. Schuler

    The business being closed would not make a difference to me. I would seek a different place to hold a worship service. I got saved as a teenager at a Mennonite church camp. Starting in strict separation, I eventually got involved in a super libertine cult. Many years later, I married a woman I...

    Are my notes on 1 Corinthians 1:1,2 correct?

    “called to be saints” NOTE: God has set us apart from the world, so we could be saints, holy ones, believers who are very different from the unsaved people around us. As separated individuals, we should periodically examine ourselves to ensure that we get rid of pride, filthy speech, vanity...

    How to Improve Our English Translations of Scripture

    Some of the most famous KJVO fanatics were Peter Ruckman, David Otis Fuller, D.A. Waite, Gail Riplinger, and Jack Hyles. It might be a good idea to closely examine the proponents of an opinion before zealously embracing their quarrelsome viewpoints.

    Romans 1:4 ?

    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...

    What is Apollinarianism?

    I Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    I do not think that to reach unchurched people, you have to go where they are potentially involved in sinning. I personally would not hold a worship service in an unholy place that is basically conducive to or devoted to sin. I might do it outside or nearby the place, and invite people in the...

    When did Jesus become the Son of God?

    Just when we think we understand Jesus pretty completely, something arises that makes us ponder Him more deeply. In some ways, Christ will always be an enigma, while we can comprehend enough to get saved and to lead others to Him.

    Are my notes on 1 Corinthians 1:1,2 correct?

    1 Corinthians 1:1,2 1:1: Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, NOTE: Paul did not personally decide to call himself an apostle, he was called to be an apostle by Jesus Christ, because God wanted this to happen. Sosthenes, another...

    What is Apollinarianism?

    The rich man’s body and his soul that animated his body died. His spirit went to hell.

    What is Apollinarianism?

    I understand soul to be the life force that animates a physical body. The spirit of a man is the unique personality. When the man is born again and the Holy Spirit enters and unites with the spirit of a man, then the man has a spiritual part. Until that new birth occurs, man is carnal, not...

    Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called for "overwhelming violence of action" against those who "deserve no mercy" during a monthly Christian service held at the Pentagon on March 25, a day after he announced major changes to the military's chaplaincy corps. Speaking to military and civilian...

    How to Improve Our English Translations of Scripture

    You have changed this into “only the authorized 1611 King James Version of scripture is given by God and inspired and profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and for instruction in righteousness.” I’m sorry you are adding man’s opinion to what the Bible actually says about itself in 2...

    How to Improve Our English Translations of Scripture

    The original manuscripts were inspired, not the various translations and versions. Can you provide evidence that any translator ever claimed to be inspired in his translation work?

    How to Improve Our English Translations of Scripture

    I find it odd that God would give inspiration and will to a gay man like King James! But I do love the King James Version.
