Calvinism’s doctrine of Unconditional Election posits that God’s choice is independent of human action, implying humans lack agency in their salvation. However, the Bible repeatedly emphasizes human responsibility in responding to God’s grace. John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave...

Continued... "... Luke 2:33, 43 “JOSEPH and his mother marvelled” or “HIS FATHER and his mother marveled”? In the true Bible God never refers to Joseph as “the father” of Jesus, and this is simply because when God became a man in the incarnation, the baby Jesus was born of the virgin Mary and...

What a waste of time this is. Nothing but red-herrings, distractions, non-sequiturs from your responses. What you 'accept' is not the foundation of truth. What "Metzger" says is also not the foundation of truth, either. In agreement with KJB: A, E, G, H, K, M, S, U, Y, X, Gamma, Delta...

You appear to be unfamiliar with the science of palaeography, and of the numerous scholars from many different countries who have examined Aleph & B, through the last century and more. This isn't about Romanists. It's about your inability to engage with the world of academia and the consensus of...

It is not "Ludicrous" in the least, as I have shown you the evidences, several times. Jesus spoke of false prophets in those two locations, and those two mss are in those exact locations, and in locations which the Bible does not look upon favourably (areas around Egypt and Rome). When did you...

As I have posted elsewhere on this forum, the expression 'it is finished' comes from the Greek word teleo, which has a variety of different meanings. As well as to 'finish,' it can mean to 'complete,' and certainly His sufferings were complete when He spoke those words. It can mean 'perform'...

The KJV completely removed some archaic, antiquated, rare, unusual, or difficult words or spellings found in one or more of the pre-1611 English Bibles. These words would be English Bible words or Biblical English found in the pre-1611 English Bibles. Should all the following words have been...

@JD731, I think that perhaps I understand the Abrahamic covenant better than you do. The covenant with Abraham is revealed to us in four stages:- 1. Gen 12:1-3. The covenant Announced. The word ‘covenant’ is not mentioned here but Peter in Acts 3:23 makes it clear that God’s initial...

No. Τετέλεσται cannot be applied to debts. You have the wrong word. The word you are speaking of is very close, at least to our eyes, so I understand your mistake. The word you define is τετελώνηται ("paid in full"). This is the word found on ancient notes. Τετέλεσται refers to something...

The Greek word teleo, of which tetelestai is (for those who are interested in such things) the 3rd person singular perfect indicative passive. 'It has been,once and for all, finished.' But the meanings of teleo are not exhausted with 'finished.' It can mean, according to Young's Analytical...

This morning I listened, on the radio, to the late John Mac Arthur on the meaning of redemption. I hold a differing view. Like many other confused NT concepts, the confusion arises from the translation, or mistranslation of a Greek word with two related meanings. For example, in Luke 1:68...

I was curious about something that you said, so I asked AI: Yes, The Chosen does include a scene where a 12-year-old Jesus is told by His father, Joseph, that He committed a "transgression" for staying behind in the temple, but the show portrays this strictly as a parental joke rather than an...
