I'm trying to spread the word about my new devotional site/blog. I'm an independent, fundamental, Baptist. I have been my entire life, and I will continue to be for the rest of my life. I just graduated from Bible college this past year, and I started this blog to keep my seed thoughts organized...

I am still wondering whether or not I would buy a more convenient KJV Bible or keep my old one of the same version. My reasons to keep the old one is due to the fact it was my first Bible I had personally, and its own sentimental value. My reason to buy a new one is because I am quite vain...

Central to God’s plan and desire for people is that we learn to love. He wants us to love Him, and He wants us to love each other. That love is central to God’s plan is expressed in many ways in Scripture: NIV Matthew 22:37 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with...

I thought it might be beneficial to create a separate thread to specifically address the texts in the scripture where preservation is taught or believed to be taught. Below are some of the verses that are discussed pro and con on the topic. This is not an exhaustive list, but I think it catches...

Not sure if this is the best/correct place for this discussion, because it is not strictly about Bible versions and translations, but about Bible preservation. (If it should go elsewhere, would one of the moderators please relocate it?) Two days ago I read from The Master's Seminary Journal an...
