Eddie, in this reply you have quoted Psa. 12:6, 7 and by your comments, it seems you are using it as a support as I've witnessed 'KJV Only' believers using that passage. Later in this thread you write that you are not 'KJV Only' because you know the KJV is not perfect. There is at least one...

"There were many reasons to include the Apocrypha within the pages of the Bible during the 17th century. Protestants of the time were deeply engaged in debates with Catholics over doctrine, so Protestant pastors and theologians were served well by being well-acquainted with the Apocrypha which...

What were the words that the LORD spoke to Eve, and then what were Eve's exact words later? The LORD "and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." (Gen 3:15, RV) The LORD "and I will put enmity...

How did the early disciples decide what books or epistles were authenticate, truly inspired of God? I believe that was the purpose of the miracles in Scripture. When the inspired revelation stopped, the signs and miracles ceased. When I hear someone proclaim to have a vision, revelation or...

John, I had not meant my comment on Heb. 1:6 to be a criticism, just pointing out a place where the KJV seems to have a disconnect with the KJV OT passage. I just do not believe any translation is inspired as the originals were, so I do not have a 'one and only' translation that I use. For me...

Dino, I agree. You can't merely list verses, read into them your own thoughts and think you've presented truth. You must study, and even Paul in 2 Tim. 4:13 requests that his "books" be brought to him, so Paul was educated from a broad perspective. You can get bogged down trying to reply to...

Eddie, I suggest you do some study in hermeneutics! The following two books are online to be studied for free. I'm beginning to suspect you are one who wishes to argue merely for arguments sake, but if not, you'd profit from the following: From Principles of Interpretation by Clinton...

Eddie, you wrote: "The historical grammatical method of interpreting the scriptures is derived on nothing but human logic, yet no one can produce a single scripture which supports that methodology ad yet it's the most widely accepted method. Doesn't that seem strange to anyone?" Man is not...

John, how do you handle the quote given in the book of Hebrews from the OT, that cannot be found in the KJV OT? I'm referring to the following: "And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him." (Heb 1:6, KJV) If you do a...

Some thoughts on law and our Christian walk, sanctification and holiness. "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster." (Gal 3:24-25, KJV) Paul speaks of "the law" so...

THE FOLLOWING , USING TRANSLATIONS, IS IMPORTANT IN STUDYING GOD'S WORD, AND I FOLLOW WITH AN EXAMPLE. From An Introduction to the Revised Standard Version of the Old Testament, page 14: "A recent speaker has told of a project to issue 'a theologically conservative translation of the Bible.'...

Hi Eddie! I've noticed in these various posts that we all seem to be talking past each other at times and not understanding the perspective of the other. Let me give an example out of my past experience that I imagine you and others can identify with. In years before the Internet, I began to...

"Then God said, ‘Let us make human beings in our image, after our likeness, to have dominion over the fish in the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, all wild animals on land, and everything that creeps on the earth.’ God created human beings in his own image; in the image of God he created...

An excellent point! I keep my outlines and notes in various folders and I'll make that addition. Thanks.

John, I understand what you are saying. I view such instances from a different perspective. I see non-canonical writings quoted in the inspired Scriptures and given the inspired seal of truth, but I do not gather from that, that the non-canonical writing is inspired by the Holy Spirit, for...

Christianity is the faith and life of being a disciple of Jesus Christ. A Christian is not a disciple of Moses! Before the Law of Moses, men would be obeying by instinct the commands of Law, as is described by Paul: "For when Gentiles who have no Law obey by natural instinct the commands of...

Thank you! I'm happy to be here...

Hi Oyster! Not long ago I encountered another perspective on that important verse as is shown in the literal quote you have given. The word "is", is added by the translators. If you remove the translator's addition, it would read like the ASV: "Every scripture inspired of God is also...

I surely agree that the Holy Scriptures are God's authoritative words spoken through men he inspired; but I'd not want to go too far in the dictation characterization, which erases the styles and perspectives of the human penmen God chose. As an example, when you use a Harmony of the Gospels to...

I'm curious, where in "utmost revelation", which are the Holy Scriptures, did you find "The Altar of Melchizedek" and the rest of your statement in that sentence?
