I am attempting in this thread to show the application of the Psalms, in a prophetic and actual and practical sense, are to be applied to the people of God, Israel, with whom he has a covenant relationship. That people is Israel. In none of the Psalms are we to understand that the church of...

This is true Van as I see it. God has appointed a time for his anger similar to his anger in the days of Noah. He calls this time that he has reserved "the day of judgement. The official title for it is "the day of the LORD." It is the appointed time that he is taking sin out of the world by...

I must agree with you on this. It is my opinion that translations into other languages should be from the original language manuscripts.

Charlie24, please understand that Jesus Christ was not preaching the gospel of the grace of God or the gospel of salvation. Notice the precision of the words. Your quote: Christ said, the Gospel will be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come. Biblical...

No one could track the themes through the Bible unless there was a consistency through the words. These words record a Divine mind. Ones could not come to the same conclusion on doctrines if they had more than one edition of the scriptures. These 12 Psalms that develop a theme of God being...

I accept the criticism but I will say that few, if any, men here have cast their soul on the authority of any translation or any of the 4 families of the original language manuscripts, not giving any assurance that any of them are truly inspired and preserved. You, more than anyone here have...

The KJV did not get it wrong in any way. The fact is that God is not dealing with his people Israel in the Psalms under the Divine principle of GRACE, as he is today. This is a prophecy. Much of this prophecy in the Psalms transcends this age of grace. If you study the Bible and Bible history...

I sympathize with your sentiment but the alternative to a perfect word, which seems to be no restraints and anything goes, has not been proven.

The Psalms have a spiritual application and ones can read them and be encouraged and find help in them in times of need because of the unchanging and eternal nature and attributes of our God. But these psalms have a practical and prophetic and future application as well These prophecies will...

My KJV teaches full atonement. Does your translation?

The aim of the study is to rightly divide the word of truth. If there is a right division there must be a wrong division, no?

ky, let me help ou with some bad logic on your part. This is not intended to be critical, just helpful. Just because three things are one does not mean there cannot be division in parts and the unity maintained. Consider the trinity. Three in one and one in three. So, the trinity proves the...

Good deal, Salty. Is there really a wrong way to give to a missionary?

I think this is an excellent answer, ky. We probably would not agree with much going forward but you nailed this. I might word one thing differently. I might change the word "infant" to "gentile." We are in Phillipi, a gentile city in Europe where there are few Jews and no synagogues Gentiles...

We are coming to a place in our conversation where we can begin to understand why we must have a perfect testimony from God. It is because of the parallels that I mentioned. It is because of the circular (if I may say it that way) prophecy where the same things happen again and again and when...

Have you ever heard about "parallels"? Who was more righteous than Jesus Christ. Yet Jesus on the cross when the world turned dark called out to God, "my God, My God, why hath thou forsaken me" without an answer. Most prophecies have at least a 3-fold application. The manner in which God has...

Good questions, Salty. Appreciate it. I am speaking of individual promises. This gives our church a heads up on what we can do through the year for missions. Each person who chooses to participate decides how much he will be giving. Most people choose to divide their giving into either weeks...

We are told in 1 Corinthians 1-4 that the mind of God must be revealed and men in their natural state do not have the ability to discern spiritual truths and follow the logic of a Divine mind. It is inaccessible through human intellect or wisdom. Many times, we are informed, that the ways of God...

Ps 7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. I saw in one of the threads in the last few days where someone had made a misapplication of this verse. It was obvious to me that they quoted this psalm to prove that God is angry with sinners now and that he is...

Yes, we support missionaries directly in this sense. The home churches of the missionaries usually act as the boards for those they send out from their churches. We send the missions gifts to those churches who disburse them to the missionaries in the various fields. So, some churches sends out...
